Short Story of the Day
Hi! I am starting a new thread where I will post a new short story each day this week (each business day, anyway). I am hoping people will read and (if inclined) discuss the stories.

So, the following is my first forum discussion in the intro to business practice...
The topic of this forum thread was "Is Wal-Mart's business practices good or fair? Both or neither?"

the liberals will probably like my response and the conservatives hate it, but I think it will be an interesting discussion for us here and I got to refer back to a HuffPo article listed here sometime back. So COOL!

It seems you need to win two games against ghosts to have +48.Or you need to win it being an admin at the same time?

Not sure what you mean by ghosts, but I don't have time for full games so I picked up 2 open positions.

So a mod bans two players for multi/meta in a game and then instead of canceling the ruined game takes the favourit's open spot and finish the game.And that counts for GR - gameID=122762 - am I missing something?

@split, one person was banned (Italy), not by me, and Turkey was in CD. I waited 3 days to let someone else take the position over, no one did, so I took it. Someone else was later banned (when he was down to 1 center), by another moderator. These two bans were not related and there was no cheating in that game at any point. Which is why the game was not cancelled. If they had been then the moderator who dealt with the case would have cancelled the game immediately.

Please also note the position I took over was not from a banned player, but one who went CD. All of this is determinable from the global press, which is public. So maybe look twice next time before making bull accusations.

I saw everything I needed to see. I don't make bull accusations,you haven't understand my post then. Haven't said it was illegal,I said it was a cheap win and it's playing the games which are ruined and you cancel other people's game for nothing.
Nice example you are giving playing those games.

It would be nice of there was some way for GR to penalize people who CD and also to "charge" more to take over a dominant position than a 1-2 center position. It does seem unfair to reward a win or draw when the player starts with 6+ centers instead of 3. I do not think gaining GR is a very good goal in itself, but a credible GR system does provide a measure of comparison that is interesting. A compromised GR? Not so much.

Okay.

Should I go through the next three pages of your profile and see what else I can come up with? Through 94 pages, how many of those games are there? Are you posting this crap about other people because you actually believe it or are you just a raging hypocrite?

Yes, I have. You sent me some nasty PMs for at least a day on end afterwards because it was all my fault that you couldn't beat me and instead were defeated.

You got your power in those games because someone else CD'd. You are accusing Jmo for getting his power because someone else CD'd. It's called hypocrisy.

If you had played all those games linked you would keep your mouth shut. You are just exposing such crap here without proves to show how sad you are.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
04 Sep 13 UTC
@split, the mod team has force drawn all of 2 games in the last 6 months, 1 of them for a TD, and the other because everyone but one person who had left the site wanted to draw.

The rules section very clearly outlines when a game will be interfered with. When there are 2 or more multis in a game and the cheating had a considerable impact on the game. When they are unrelated it is not cancelled.

"What is the point of the GR list looking at the games like this one? The list is nothing but pure crap."

The flip side of that argument is what is the point of points looking at the games you play and win after multiple CD's. I'll also point out that most of the 48 D came from the other game, since GR is based on the competitions GR. GR is not run by the site, it's created and maintained separately, if you think it needs improvements then talk to the people who run it.

All that aside, I don't play games for the points or ghostrating. I play games to have fun. If you want an accurate representation of skill then look at a combination of points, win/draw percentage, ghostrating, and competition.

Or you all jelous fucks are interested in my solos only? You think I win more games (in percentage) due to CD's then all the other players on the site?

Of Twerking and Terrible, Terrible Pop Songs--What Do We Pay Attention To?
So until today I was blissfully unaware of what the VMAs even were, let alone (Facebook jokes aside) what happened there with a certain Ms. Cyrus and...you know, forgoing all of...that (though really, WTF?!) I'd rather ask another question--assuming that most here likewise couldn't care less about Ms. Cyrus or Mr. Bieber or *Insert Pop Icon For the Masses Here*...what DO we care about, and why does the majority gravitate to these things we raise eyebrows at?
