That might be your worst explanation of a lie about your knowledge of this game to date.

I once had a team with 1757 players and was $25,835,360 in debt. This is not that team. Join the Discord group open to anyone, but especially for USA managers to improve your club or get involved with the U21 and NT programs (https://discord.gg/cKpNkt2).

Pardon me sir, I speak ward.

Now what the ward one is proposing putting into development is a mechanism that will suggest just what sort of stats can be accumulated by a player. Where he is missing the boat is understanding how the level of competition affects those raw numbers. Under his logic a player who posts a great statline against bad competition should be able to replicate that against stouter opponents. He also wants to contend that if player A puts together a more impressive night, week or season than a player B who plays against better competition that the former is the better of the two players. We all know he is wrong, but that's his story and he's sticking to it.

That ship has sailed. Or in your case sank. There literally has been some hand wringing discussions on the matter. Some supportive towards you, some concerned about your sometimes unstable presence and belligerent attitude, and others who are actually violently opposed to the concept of your presence.


@Lambini - The Ward One's antics and subsequent banning revealed the discord for the black hole of free speech that it is. Forbidding even the mention of his name according to a non-public 'code of conduct' that only the admins know of is the equivalent of passing a 'bill of attainder'. Any students of history would recognize that practice in the US as a pre-revolutionary action by the crown/parliament that stripped individuals of their due process, property, and even their freedom without trial. It was one of conditions the colonials rose in revolt against.

When I pressed the admins on that issue and requested that their 'codes of conduct' be posted pubicly. The stock response was that I could leave if I didn't like it. I ended up taking their advice but not before stating that if they weren't interested in the principles that the US was founded on they should consider a new name for their private chat.

It's fine if they banish members for violating rules but if the rules are never posted then it's essentially the whims of admin judges of Megacity. I'll take my chances out in the Cursed Earth.

No I am not wrong. I don't have the willing to do it all over again. I would take b in a heart beat. I think player b is a hidden gem in the dirt.

I of course understand being the freedom-loving American that I can tell you are that you consider this a violation of due process. Yet to put this by comparison with a bill of attainder is a little bit off base. it is a private institution the Discord chat and it is up to the founders of this channel to decide whom they want to have as part of the group. He has been pining for a very long time to be a part of the Discord activities. however as I said before this is very much a case of the fact that it just becomes too disruptive to be worth the trouble of having him in the group. While I can appreciate your desire to have some verifiable guidelines for what would be considered appropriate on that channel in the end it comes down to just not playing the fool. In the end it would just be too much of a headache to handle.

Isn't it pretty hard to have a database of players under training unless you got the scouting tools that a NT manager has?


INSERT INTO MY_AWESOME_DATABASE(PLAYERID, PLAYERNAME, DMI, JUMPRANGE,SHOTBLOCKING)
VALUES (8675309, 'REGGIE MILLER-MUTOMBO KENOBI', INFINITYTEEN+2 , 28, 28)

(Some skills omitted for secrecy because, obviously, if you knew he had 1.00 FT you'd do the foul court press tactic against me and then I'd lose because of that rather than my own incompetence and/or incontinence).

While I respect that your response later in the post was to "peace out", the correct response would have been "You brought her, you attainder."

But, yeah, administrative power turns people into real jerks sometimes. Ask my wife.

Is your database going to work if we use the old variables? https://youtu.be/Dse9FDWz_uQ

I need some1 with a amount of energy. The Old Variable still works because of the 7 different situation. I am not willing to do it again.

I’m not going to lie, I agree some sort of rule book should be displayed for everyone to see when they join the chat. Unfortunately, sometimes powers can over rule all and you just have to play like everyone else. If the craziness can be maintained to a minimum, usually there isn’t a problem. Anyways, you should join again!
