1. She can go fuck herself right in her ass since she doesn't have me to do that for her anymore.
2. That ain't happening with this one.

Of course we're better at the top and worse at the bottom, but everything in between seems fairly in line.
eventually we'll likely tune it down a little once everyone gets used to the game and we have a higher % of guys shooting above norms. no need to change something that isn't broken right now.
Blazers get 1st win over tough Magic squad. D.Will goes for 29 7 and 3 to lead the way. Turnovers were the difference as the Blazers were able to take a 20 point lead mid-way through the game after getting some run outs from steals. Gg AJ.
I think we need to make sure we aren't turning all the settings up all the way on some things. There's not a team in the NBA that plays high pressure D and then fastbreak offense all game. I've ran into that a couple times. It completely fucks up the flow of the game, then it's like playing a street ball game.

if you have issues with gameplay, send me an AIM or a PM.
i certainly agree with you on what you're saying, but i'd rather handle things in house
No worries. I'm not outing anyone. Like I said just something to keep in mind - my opinion.
One thing I'm still struggling with is getting the playbooks working. Plus, I've been in a couple games where plays just pop up and I don't know what play is being called.
check your coaches settings ... for some reason sometimes it goes to auto playcalling and sometimes it turns off the play art. i check before each game.
as for your concerns. they are understood and noted. everyone plays a different style but like anything else in the ndl, we are shooting for moderation.
i am a pretty blunt and honest person. we have some people in our league who care way too much about winning and not enough about play a fun-fair game. they are the same way in every game they play unfortunately and the same guys that always get complaints against them. if i continue to get complaints about the same guys it won't be a democratic process, they'll be gone. this game is way too fun and the league is way too enjoyable to let a few bad apples bring it down cause they think they think they get an award if they win the league. some of the questions i am asked about gameplay are hysterical and make me wonder how people don't realize that when they are trying to skim around the rules that they are probably the guys breaking the rules. either way, like i said, your concerns are noted and if i hear more complaints i'll discuss them with AJ and Shel and others and i'll move to the waiting list.
First, we lose to the Mavs on a Kobe runner/floater with 1 second left , but a helluva game. Second, we play the Blazers tough but go home with a 75-70 loss. Moral victory here for me since Talented beat me 61-26 in my first ladder and I had 20 at the end of 1Q.
2 L's regardless, but better than the normal beatdowns we endure.
