I do agree with sticks about the initial seeding though. A participants' poll to decide the rankings would be more fair, and more accurate (although no ranking would be perfect, this would come the closest)

Maybe, but that's not obvious. I think people are only capable of giving reasonable rankings to players who are in the ballpark of their own skill. The top players probably have no idea how to rank any given five newbies, and the newbies have little idea who's really better than whom among the top players.

Kax

That may be true, but at least we would have a more accurate seeding than just a random one. If the top two players are ranked #1 and #2, but the best player is ranked #2 while the 2nd best is #1, that may not be perfect but it's close enough so that they'll meet each other in the finals (assuming their on opposite sides of the bracket, like they should be).

Having SLIGHTLY inaccurate rankings is way better than GROSSLY inaccurate rankings. We had grossly inaccurate rankings which caused really good players to meet early in the tournament, rather than late in it.

You don't need to join .net. So, how do you propose that is a accurate date?.. pissant.

Hah, maybe you should stay in your own little hole (irc.cyproject.net). You could kind of be like Saddam Hussein.

BTW, Min, feel like telling the community about you and your porn star career...?

uh, so your trying to tell me you gained some sort of skill level while using the name brody .... even if you played for a year before you joined .net ... you were still very bad after you joined .net ... so why does that matter?

Ren

I'm pretty sure you've already been told that it would be a waste of his time to even try to play you .... look what you did when I tried to play you ..... and I have the logs to prove what you did, which you have seen and you had no argument too ...... I recommend to min to not even bother trying to play you, because he will just waste his time waiting for your chickenshit ass to never join the game.

You truly don't understand do you. I'm not rusty, nor have I ever been. Is that what your counting on? ... you claim you've never played me, so how the fuck would you know how good I am? ... (I have played you btw .. so I do know about how good you are ..) So here you are talking smack .. when you know full well if I tried to play you, you'd run off like a little pansy and hide behind lrl's apron. Fuck you, and your little dog too.

p.s. Your just sad becuase you don't have my porn.

Min, when do you learn, by most people here, you're fucking useless her. I reccomend leaving.. Yet you have not played me, once again.. you probably were drinking the old Yegermeister, and must have thought you were playing me. FYI, i don't want your porn pics, i highly doubt there's anything to see, or anything to my amusement. As i stated earlier, your porn pics aren't worth looking at, so why would i be jelous. I have no interest in looking at ping-pong size testicals.

Just don't even reply, you're proving nothin, except that you're a ignorant hippie from the 70's

believe whatever makes you feel better about it. the truth is, I have played you ... just becuase you don't remeber, or didn't know it was me, doesn't mean I havn't ... go on deluding yourself.

I'm not going to stop, i'll just keep retaliating, so you might as weel not respond or this will get worse. Silly Minhairyass, Trying to get me to shut up, i'm a kid, won't happen :P Go take some more nudy pics and post them everywhere, since you seem so fascinated into continuing it in ever post of YOURS.

Hey bitchboy ... a couple of the times I came around trying to get a game out of you was 6pm and 8pm (we're in the same time zone remember) .... One of those times you had to go "eat dinner" then disappeared for the rest of the night ... the other time you were "helping a friend" and again mysteriously disappeared. Your a little fucktard ren, I used to actually have a minuet amount of respect for you.

I'm sure min is quite capable of standing up for himself, but since I was up before him I decided to reply before him, big deal. You have become such a little assnugget.

i had a girlfriend that was a stripper.....man this chick could fuck....dude wouldent playin bolo with your tesitacals hurt? my take on this is that its stupid. y is status so important in bolo? i say fuck it. i get beat....i loose...i win...yeah so be it ....its a game......people like ren and min are the reason i drink. and by the way im kinda new to the comunity...min and hostile toy? married? or dateing? this may seem stupid but u know...im new.

Hostile toy is my wife. I'm only here to troll little newbies such as ren. I honestly don't care what you think of me. Or what they think of me, but its still fun to make them flame me.

Min

:idea:
i dont know what their status is either
but you, my friend, have just schedueled your ass an AlAnon consultation
just kidding.
but I do agree that fighting over status is BULLSHIT to the utmost degree
everyone DESERVES equal respect
that's what this game is about
respect for one's ability but not being an asshole because of it

The game is about taking 16 bases before the other team does, not about respecting anyone. And to be more accurate, I'd say that people generally have respect until they lose it, which some people manage to do with remarkable alacrity. From my perspective, anyone who has posted the sequence of letters "t-e-s-t-i-c-a-l-s" in this thread has lost it.

i wasnt trying to flame anyone...i got nothin bad to say about any one...i like u all...even if i dont know u....we can all get drunk and falme eachother maybe play bolo too....im am going to get all if u together...im gunna rent a computer lab. we can get toasted and play bolo all day...im gunna call it the bolo-and-beer day. if your down...let me know so i can get plain tickets for all of u. seeing that i am rich cus i invented the t-e-s-t-i-c-a-l hat that has gone mad on the rave seen. email me at [email protected]
