Erm why exactly?

Did I abuse a fellow player?

No you did not, but dont worry, Dinu was just joking, though the funnyness could be questioned?

Towns, just give it a rest buddy.

Let him patronise all he wants - hypocracy is a far worse trait...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

In order to keep consistent with suspensions in the past, Demeza was suspended for blatantly insulting another member of the Dev League - a senior member at that.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I will say something. I'm not too fussed that he was suspended as it doesn't affect me, but how is calling someone a "tosser" a suspendable offence. Surely that's not that bad considering what opposition teams will say to eachother when sledging.

The sledging has been in good spirit though. I'm sure that even Travis will admit that that comment was not. I have no problem with people voicing opininions and debating, but I'd prefer if they didn't slip personal insults in there whilst doing so.

It's not hypocricy. Daniel, like most of us, recognises that while the current sign-up system might not be perfect, Liam does a good job at adjusting rookies so they are not overpowered. What you blatantly ignore for a reason apparently known only to yourself, is that Liam has time and time again presented actual facts about how much "rookie power" there is, which is to say none at all. The strongest and most dominant players in the dev league each and every season are not rookies. No rookie since Rose a few seasons back has made the international team, and even when the A team which did have a number of rookies toured last year, only one of the dominant players (Cunningham) was a rookie, the others were experienced like Young. This season again, the top runscorers and wicket takers are dominated by veteran players, despite the fact that many of them have been missing on international duty.

Despite all of this, you ignore the facts and whine incessantly just because you can, and act surprised when people get frustrated with you over it.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Two pretty big games tonight with Red and Black both trying to come back from poor starts to the season and Blue and the Colts playing off for second spot on the table. Any chance of a live sim for them Liam?

No live sim unfortunately, as there are other things I have to do today, so I can't invest my time in that at the moment.

 

[Robertinho]

Wohoo! Welcome to CW Red, Rich

Oh yes, incase you missed it, chance of a live sim Liam?

We get Ed!!

Another player to take precedence over my shocking 'bowling'

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Time to clarify this whole situation. It's not hypocracy or hypocricy. It's "hypocrisy".

My humble apalogies.

Yo. That has just like, cleared the whole thing up for me.

 

[Robertinho]

I can see clearly now...

 

[_Ed_]

Oh dear, I'm going to feel bad for that.

 

[andyc]

Oh dear, I'm going to feel bad for that.

Haha don't, it's a good thing!

 

[Travis_Teh]

As Liam said, my comments were definetly not in good spirit, they were quite spiteful really, but that is exactly how I feel, so I said it. I got suspended, and that's fair.
I don't regret what I said and I won't apologise for what I said. As other people have agreed with what I said, it appears that i'm not the only one who thinks Marc's hassling of Liam is more than unjust and wrong.

Also, for Marcs sake, i'm glad Liam is possibly the most patient person I have ever come across. In other internet communites I have spent time at, Marc would have been removed for badgering the implementor. Due to the fact the dev league needs more players, not less

 

[Travis_Teh]

Awseome., Ed can challenge me for the biggest crab with the bat award

Yay, always up for a challenge. It was between Pickup and I before, but I was winning by a country mile, unfortunately. ..... and that's saying something.

Ah, the only way you come across people is through internet communities?
