Here's the thing(and I'm going to check out tonight):
Some folks put way too much importance to their standing in the sim game community. They feel that they've accomplished things that shouldn't be questioned or mocked. That their opinions have more validity than less accomplished users. I could go on but I'm sure you get my point.
Some folks are just looking for a diversion. This needs to be fun or they're going to find something else. I could go on but I'm sure you get my point.
So here's where we are: You've joined my conference and somehow or another think I should be concerned. I've said, several times, that I'd rather be in a conference with humans. I stepped up the "trolling" last time we rolled. No one took the bait. Now, if you come in and win, good for you. But you've put yourself in position to be mocked mercilessly by me if you don't(you already have the best team before you've done a thing). That will bother you. However, if you crush me, oh well, I haven't done very well anyway. It's no win for your self-important HD ***.
But, and this is what I truly hope, you'll come in and get a better understanding about HD "accomplishments". And you might learn that there are other ways to enjoy the game than fret over every little aspect of it. Or, after a few seasons, you may still be a self-important *****. But let's hope not.
