Maybe he just wishes he can beat you for real, but you can choose not to give him that chance ;)

Played an active user in an exhibition. He beat me by 5 and, 8 minutes later, challenged me to a non-con. I'm probably overranked in the pre-season poll(#4) and am losing 5 seniors(but have 4 juniors).

Kinda feels like an insult.
Nah. He's fine. I play users I know all the time in exhibitions then we play for real the next year.

I don't turn down challenges. I think zorzi thinks he can beat me and expects my team to be ranked next season as well.

I have no idea how anyone could perceive that as an insult. He wants to play you, if you want to play him, accept it, if you don't, for whatever reason, don't.

Of course he thinks he can beat you. If he didn't he wouldn't schedule an expected loss. I'd take it as a compliment. If he knows how to schedule, he'll schedule teams he thinks will be good but that he can beat.

What part of "I don't turn down challenges" was confusing?

Why would you take that as an insult?

Sigh.

First, I'm not saying this is a humorless bunch but I'm saying "funny" ain't in several folk's vocabulary.
Second, he challenged me 8(EIGHT) minutes after our game ended. Some might think "That dumb bastard can't gameplan for ****."

this was your attempt at humor? You are not making a lick of sense.

Are you insulted he asked you for a game or did you think it was funny he asked you for a game

I thought the timing was funny. And possibly insulting.

I think you're reading too much into it. There's a lot of people to choose from when you're sending out non-con challenges. Someone you just played stands out on the list.

It's not like he destroyed you.

I guess zorzi could solve the mystery. I'm sure he's read this thread. zorzi, why challenge me 8 minutes after our exhibition game? Why not before? Why not today? You know I won't turn it down regardless of exhib outcomes.
