Nobody talked about it in an EOG. Except Lando few minutes ago. And he was the one who wanted us all not to talk about it.

Arguably, that was *not* an EOG. It was a simple throw away comment and Lando has said all along not to post extensive EOGs, keep them limited, which is exactly what he did, Split.

"I don't see where is the problem if someone decides to draw in a game he should have won and that has something to do with a position in one of his other games "

What if I said I was depsearte to get a draw, any draw, becaus eI had been eliminate in so many games already (there are still three ongoing in my gorup after all) so I refused to eliminate a player or some such. It *can* influence the other games if you suspect the big guy in it is a particular player or that a particular player has already been eliminated.

I would say the best bet is to only talk about hings within the game, not motivations that may be a result of other games in the series, but that we shoudl still listen to Lando as it is *his* tournament.

EOG or non EOG,or a "simple throw away comment",what is the difference? If you shouldn't talk about it you shouldn't talk about it.

The difference is, he didn't say not to talk at all. He said go easy on it. I understand only one neuron fires in that brain of yours, but when more fire, they understand that there is a place between no disclosure and full disclosure.

It is not "my" tournament, this is our tournament. My goal is keeping it fair, that is all. Sorry for my part in creating this mess.

The "use common sense" rule from the site should apply and overrule in all instances.

By your tournament, I meant you set up the brackets and have to deal with all of our bullshit. It's a thankless job and I thank you for doing it, Lando.

Well that's contradiction if I've ever seen one :-P

But thanks Draugnar, I appreciate that.

Well, you are the TD Lando, so people need to follow your request to hold off on EOG's or anything that will potentially influence another tournament game. Obviously like you said, common sense should be used to figure out if a comment could affect another game or if it violates any other site rules.

I recognize that I took on responsibility by setting this up, I was simply trying to express that the decisions I make and the positions I take in regards to this tournament are not intended to be selfish, but rather, in the interests of the tournament.

I think we are through the "tough stuff" here now, though.

Liked my contradiction? Glad you did. It was meant to bring a smile to your face.

If he's like this as a TD, what would he be like as a Mod, we'd all be in trouble. He would clamp down with his iron fist, we would be squashed like bugs

Nigee, baby, I think you're misreading me.

Nigee is just being Nigee. Ignore him, Lando. You have done a great job so far. You know, after all, that no good dead goes unpunished.

:-)

We're definitely yelling for no reason now. It sounds like we're all on the same page about brief EOG statements mid-round being ok so long as they don't reference any of the games still ongoing.

Draug, we can understand you with Lando's balls so deep in your mouth.

I agree with Split - nothing nefarious with acting to win the tournament according the the tourney rules, even if that is counter to a single game... Why do badminton players get a bad rap? But it seems the point in not to talk about ongoing games, which seems simple enough... Seeing as our group has managed to finish just one, that's pretty easy to manage!

Wow - whole page with not a one reference to a game... if a country is defeated in a forest and there was no forum, would anyone hear the EoG squealling?

@Gen. Lee - Land oand I have had our differences. I just happen to think he is doing a great job. This is really a tough job to please everyone and you and other of your ilk make it that much tougher. So fuck off, asswipe fucktard. Go back to fucking your little brother.

I think he's doing a great job, and so does my wife

Your wife thinks the vibrator does a great job. It's only you who seems to fail to please her, Nigee. Hell, just last night I made her moan and groan so loud she woke up your kids.

Oi Mr Little Willy .... that's her nickname for you

Your confused again. She only calls your microdick little.

Hmmmmm -- this feels like PM worthy posts... thank god we can't see picture posts or I would expect an Anthony Wiener moment coming...

Do we need to scroll back 3 pages for a status on the tourney?

"@Gen. Lee - Land oand I have had our differences. I just happen to think he is doing a great job."

99.99% of us think he's doing a great job and are enjoying this tourney. You're the only one trying to start a fire the old fashioned way in his lap. In the words of Lando...go easy on waxing his balls in this thread please. lol ;)

99.99%? There are only 49 people in this tournie. If just one has an issue with him, then that is almost 2% at odds with him. We have seen a couple of folks here, so most likely 95% satisfaction. But the problem is, that other 5% is very vocal, so I am being vocal the other way. Can't let the bastards win and all it takes is for the good folk to keep silent and the bastards *will* win. So be vocal and show him some fucking appreciation, asshole.

Sorry, there are only 28 people. so if one has an issue, that is almost 4%. If three have an issue, than more than 10% are at odds with him.
