Everyone knows I have not discussed this issue in public and I will stick with that stance but I will clarify one fact, the impact of this game. I will try to use only facts.

I just needed two wins in the last three games to secure HCA and the last game was easy.
I lost this game by 3 playing TIE.
That made the next game against the number two team a must win. I had to play my starters and spend enthusiasm to win.
I won but lost enthusiasm and game shape that week.

Opnion: Sid Vicious is a friend of mine even though I do love to stir him and I admit I have encouraged other people to do the same, but I think he likes the mind games.

Back to facts.
Semi Finals
Sid's team hopelessly addicted had something like a $750,000 roster while mine was more like $350,000. He won that game by 5. Would better game shape and higher enthusiasm be worth 5 points? That is obviously opinion. But hopelessly addicted went on to win the championship and went to the ABBL while I stayed in division II.

Was the stated aim of getting "the best manager" promoted achieved? That is also opinion.

fact: I never agreed to a mutual tie, If you wanted the win you could have normal me hence it is still the same as normaling moosa. I also hinted that I wanted the fan survey and all the D2 managers in the chat keep saying its best interest to throw the game which I do not like and I have never propose any Mutual tie or accepted one so far.

thus fact: Yoda needed to normal 1 of the 3 games to win the game. but unwilling to do so against me by looking down on me. Game shape was not a factor as Yoda was not training any young players and was going to play his starters regardless.

I never said the best manager, just the best team. Beechy had a way better team, it was 450k with adrain shortall? and sid vicious all-in like a crazy mad man with 750k. Smeltz with kylie smeltz.

The game was:

the fact is that he got lucky and promtoted (with 5 old 10k veterans due to injuries and much easier confrence) out of the tough III.6 which set many teams like myself, home axis, goldfish etc. a season.


I would actually like to discuss this one in a friendly way. I agree totally that I was incredibly lucky to get out of III.6 in my first season there.

However to win I had to beat in the QF the Melbourne Redbacks who were strong, in the SF the Melbourne Goldfish who were strong and the Victorian Allstars who on paper looked much stronger than me - it is so long ago that it is all a but fuzzy but I think they had multiple $20-30,000 players which was quite good back then while I think my biggest salary was indeed around $10,000. But I did have a belief back then in secondaries so I had things like centers with great OD and PA so for example I think my center was 4th in assists in the league but those things didn't show up in their salaries.

But to escape from that tough, tough league in my first season was incredible luck. They say it is better to be lucky than good!

A valiant effort.

Though II.1 forums are still more worthy of drama popcorn.

I agree, this thread doesn't come close to II.1.

i read the first few paragraphs thinking this was about you and yoda wearing the same tie to some kind of party and then I got distracted and kept wondering in this meeting I was in at work 'why the fudge would people give such a rats about two guys wearing the same tie to a party' (mutual tie anyone? ahhh sigh)

then i came back and read the rest and realised that, i probably need to sleep more, drink less and perhaps take up exercise or something.

in all seriousness though, its sad that you felt you had to come out and defend yourself like this. Its just a game though, so if people wanna get all cranky-pants and have a go at you, then thats their problem. dun let it affect your experience in the game and if you come out on top because of something that happens, then good for you i say.

turning up to a party dressed the same as someone else is very upsetting

i once went to a party where the theme was something starting with "B" wearing a skintone full bodysuit with a wig cut up and stuck in a line down the front

u can imagine how upset i was when i found there was another brazillian
