[/QUOTE]He probably didn't know the rule.

But, once he wrote the second post, I give him the benefit of the doubt.

I took it as him saying it tongue in cheek-like.

"Yeah, I went to get a body, but wait, the rules don't allow it..." That's what I took his second post to say. I'm sure I'm wrong.

Regardless, there is still no reason to post what the former champion did. Talk about running off people on the fence. Now that they know that if they don't know every rule, and then complain about it on a message board, they can expect to go up in flames by the MB police.

People make mistakes.

People should be able to gripe on a MB.

People should not be able to make rude or snide remarks about other posters. Especially posters who complain about others doing the exact same thing!

But for High-stakes FF to grow, this is one area that I think is needed to be adjusted to pull in more main stream players.

Main Stream allows for pickups after Friday. It's as easy as that.

If the high-stakes community wants to continue in an elitist-type of way, and not have rules that are geared for the main stream, then the sport will not grow at the high-stakes level.

Since most high-stakes players are so good, you'd think they'd want any rule that would bring in more dead money.

That's just not the case, because they want to be able to say "look at us, we play with tougher rules". Well these rules aren't going to grow the sport IMO.

I'm not whining, I'm arguing a point. I hope you can see the difference. 1. Russ must think Tom and Greg have instituted a high-stakes community with "elitist-type of way".
2. Russ thinks that Greg and Tom's event should mimic mainstream rules.
3. Russ thinks that NFFC owners think "look at us, we play with tougher rules"

I think he's wrong on all three points.
1. Greg and Tom run a great contest. It's open to anyone with the $.
2. I think the 14 team format is against every mainstream league there is. It's what has made Greg/Tom's event unique. Is Russ saying the 14 team league should be abolished?
3. I don't think we play by tougher rules. What is "tougher" anyways. I think a daily FAAB would be a lot tougher than once a week FAAB.

I'm usually not in favor of dumbing down an event to MAYBE get more Yahoo signups. Hence the binkie comment.

Just because SNAKE's in his own world, does that really mean he needs banned? What country do we live in?

The way Glenn gets treated reminds me of the scene in Monty Python's Holy Grail....when they bring the witch to be burned. That seems to be the kind of trial some of you guys want.

Or better yet, I know most have a Bible...read John 8. there are consequences to everyones action. if you do some potsmoking, don't be surprised when you get busted. [/QUOTE]me you must help then

you've had the unique distinction of being banned from the wcoff boards AND temporarily from the nffc boards. keep up the good work.

[/QUOTE]...simply for the record here but the WCOFF ban last season was also a temporary one that then turned into a permanent one via SNAKE's choice...thanks much...SNAKE [/QUOTE]banned from both events. when does it begin to click in your head that you bring a bad vibe to MB's? serious question. thanks.
