it makes you feel smart to say things like "google if you dont follow" or " get out of the kitchen" huh?

lol..my "attack" on the game? sorry, please dont get offended, but may I ask if you are at least 16 or not?

You say please don't get offended but you have every intention of offending :-?

Also does trying to add rules to this game make you feel smart? Make you feel like you could be in government or something?

I have no idea what you are on about in your first para... It sounds like you are trying to start something. Again.

Saying But if you start something, finish it... alright? is pretty rude and aggressive you could of put it "Next time if you start a tournament can we please finish it?" but instead you add the "alright" bit which is like you are in charge of him and as I said before is just simply rude.

Agree, it probably takes some time and energy putting this together...

No no...the reason was that you didnt get my nanny comment..where I said chelsea nanny... maybe you should google nanny state, seriously, when was the last time you checked?

If you had chosen a more positive attitude toward my criticism regarding the cancellation maybe something positive would come out of it. Instead you behaved like a baby who's toy is about to be taken away and starts crying.

You're not a pleasant person to talk to kiwi, and I dont wanna spend more time on this since you're not getting it....but I will tell you this: you found my "alright" rude. But when the game was canceled without counseling players and they were all ignored it was just fine, and you know why? because all you care is "points" kiwi. You didnt care that 5 people were playing because maybe they were interested in it or having fun competing with each other. This is where your level of thoughts and "maturity" that you so much like, is at. Value, kiwi, is where people are respected, value is where you finish what you start.
I hope you get enough value "points" to get to the top spot. That's the only way a mature and educated person like yourself find satisfaction in a game like this.

Good luck,
And good nite.

You don't see JBF getting all upset because it was cancelled and making a huge deal out of it do you? No you are attempting to destroy a fun but competitive online game because things didn't go your way.

You should be the first who recieves a warning for calling people names. You are the one who started aggressivness and obnoxious posting.

Tennis Maestro, really pathetic, I feel sorry for you, you need lots of growing up before you can run even an online league. Just try to educate yourself instead of getting encouraged by kiwi.

Educate myself? I’d imagine possessing the collection of a diploma in sports science, a personal trainer’s level 3 qualification (body conditioning to boot) and the completion of 1/3 of an honours degree is probably considered more than enough to be educated.

My intention was always to issue you with a warning, your constant rambling is unwanted here, there's one thing having an opinion and there's another having a rant, you my friend were doing the latter.

As already highlighted by others, your "people skills" are extraordinarily weak, judging by the way you’ve conducted yourself in this thread. Voicing your concern is fine, but there’s a way to do it.

Kiwi pointed out just exactly what riled me....

"But if you start something, finish it ... alright?"

On what planet is this^ deemed to be simply "criticism"? Anyone's natural reaction to this would be "wow" "check this guy out".

Instead of being personable with the issue, you were vicious, i tell you that you please don’t expect any different from me, i am not one to bite my tounge as being the organiser of this league.

I am still considering it, but I have some doubts. It seems you like to fiddle with your own rules to come out on top. You shouldn't be so rude and insulting to OddJack BTW. He voiced some good criticism, and your hateful retorts were unjustified and uncalled for.

Time I really embarrassed you GJ011.

If I were fiddling with rules "to come out on top" surely i would've refrained from considering everyone's opinion of increasing the points won from predicting the correct winner of a match from 2 to 3?

If I were fiddling with rules "to come out on top" surely i would've refrained from cancelling a tournament in which 2 of the main competitors ( both top 8 ) were taking a break from playing in? Seffina was one of them.

If I were fiddling with rules "to come out on top" surely I would not take people's consideration in relation to retirements and walk over’s, as for half the time in tournaments gone by i have been the one losing out due to them.

How do you explain these^?

All this clearly shows you up to be the phoney you’ve always been on these forums. Your accusations carry no weight whatsoever and you are merely here to cause trouble as you are filled with jealousy and frustration as a result of being banned from this forum mainly due to stupidity you displayed in various prediction league threads.

EDIT: Moderators will be informed of your arrival.

Sure, if you start something finish it. You may have a diploma or all the honors but you seem not to understand that it is not all about points. If people are having fun competing, even only 5, then they should be able to continue. Why do you put so much weight on points? It's also abut having some fun.
You call yourself educated, but even in canceling it you completely ignored players and ignored others who wanted to go on and did not counsel as a courtesy.
You call my post "vicious"? for saying if start finish, alright? and then you go on by calling it "garbage"? How strong is that for people's skill??
If you want to improve the league you need to be more open to opinions and suggestions and criticism and don't get defensive or personal. Issuing silly warnings and act like a boss or marshal of the board gets you nowhere. Try to act more maturely and like a grown up that you are.

So when 3/5 don't want to play the tournament and if you count the many other people who didn't play or pulled out you think it makes sense to play because you and one other member want to play. He didn't ignore two players he just took what the majority wanted. If you don't understand that then you need to move to a democratic country.

I live in a democratic country already, but regardless, I don't judge people according to the country they are in.
The more you talk the more you show your immaturity. No wonder you or so obsessed with your "points" and the values they have for you.

I have said what I had to say and you have showed what you are about, which is some points and warnings and "google it if you dont understand" or "change your country if you dont understand"...so I tend to finish this discussion. To sum it up, here is what I talked about:

* Finish the game if you start one. Even if only 3 people want to play after it has started. Or, asked them if they would agree to cancel and start a new one with more players.

* When start a 250 atp league, to prevent disappointment for players who decide to participate set a minimum players requirements

* Let's make it a more friendly and fun game rather than being bossy and just care about "value of points" and not the players themselves.

If you dont like these then I have nothing else to say to you. You go ahead with your obsession with points and just suit yourself.

I have no idea where you are getting this obsession with points and this whole value thing you just made up.

The fact you think the minority should win sums up your view of democracy. Also for some reason you can't think that you can have fun + a little bit of competition. You haven't even played this game so you don't know what makes it fun for the majority of us so don't come along like you are some expert on it and trying to change the game to make it more fun for you.

Minority should win? Democracy?

Hello? LOL you don't get it do you? Who are you to sum up anybody's opinion on anything? Sorry, but you don't qualify lady.
 
Hey, I'm in.

Want to reach top 10!

By the way, imagine how Shadows, Kiwi or you, Maestro, turn up to complete a 'career GS' in predictions. :)

Awww, sorry darling. *hugs*

Added you. :D

thank you

Well the hard court season will be interesting. I think only TM, Shadows and Seffina are the only ones that have played a HC Masters. Is this right?

I just wanted to compliment TM on his interesting prediction league idea. Is it a crime to post a compliment here?

How dare you say you gonna pass? Now Miz Ratched gonna ask for a warning for this outrageous statement and if repeated you will be banned to ever say a word in this sacred domain.

Well being new myself and seeing how some long-time respected posters are reluctant to play, I just thought it would be better for me to wait it out on this one. That's the only reason I would pass this time. I really meant to just compliment TM (so it's a lady?) on her wonderful idea and the effort. I hope I did not say anything that would upset her.

I dont know if its a lady or not.
 
Anyone know where Seffina's gone to? She usually does the calculations, not too sure if she's game for doing them this occasion around.
 
Good question, I also wondered Seffina's whereabouts. If there's noone willing to do the calculations, I may be able to do some of the job.
