The crazy thing about GDB cheating in the XFL was I still wasn't gonna boot him but it was his lying and pleading innocence & ignorance about blocking punts after he was caught that was the final nail in the coffin.
If he had just owned up to it and apologized like a man....he would have stayed!!!
I don't have to like someone to allow them in my leagues and I don't boot owners typically unless they cross a line which effects the integrity of the league.
I like to think I have a high tolerance but it's not infinite
He's annoying. GDB is probably the main reason of what put me down a path of being mean with game play.
All the things he is typing vigilante about he has done and worse.
He was even worse back in the day. Right after a game result came out he'd hit the forum and give you the paragraph block of text of how he beat you; detailed and cruel.
He'd run and did at me - 20 Lead Tosses in a row when I left an opening many years ago. Him and that Bryson I throw for near 13k in a season in a Title Game and LOSE are the key moments that turned me cold in my play.
Mmm, not only that - Ai is set to cheat. (run mostly an all-zone defense) Enforcing play usage limits, enforcing this and that will only beget the cheating Ai opponent victories.
Example: Ai wants to be a little ***** and hit me with all negative familiarity but I can't pull up a WR to TE whopper and pound them with it. You know which one.
GrandadB posted this in a general forum. To me, it comes off like he is better then everybody and runs the best leagues
I responded with this which to some will seem innocent but I'm talking about & talking to Grandadb.
Let's see if/how he responds
SILENCE He knows it's about him and doesn't want to open that can of worms
DENIAL He is a boy unable to take responsibility like a man
ANGER He is pissed off because I might publicly expose him for getting kicked out of not 1 but 2 leagues that I know of personally.
If you can't follow rules then be the one to enforce them!!!
Yeah he's bragged about his new league rules + all that in the PFL discord because Legend put up crazy offensive stats, unsolicited (as is usual for everything he does to that accord).
I'm actively working with a group to upturn JDBs dream sim.
I wish I could promise, but the timeline is still a ways out. Looking to be app based of course.
I do not personally possess the ability to program anything, but serve as a project manager professionally. I also do not have depths of funds but have acquaintances who have ability. On the plus side, it would not be one person's vision/ambition steering the ship.
My focus right now is getting a full team together who could attempt to streamline something for testing. We are looking to land on "good enough" to start.
Not to undermine JDBs work, but he started something great and is letting it rot. Further, morons like GDB do a disservice to ideas of others. He is essentially poo-pooing something he had no hand in, what I refer to as "user problems" which means not a problem because it is a shared experience by anyone playing. He looks to be self serving, not community based.
He is the Putin of MFN.
I worry about giving to much info here as I'm concerned about the delivery, or that I can. MFN is nothing more than a benchmark in our eyes though. All in all, it is an effort since I believe there is a larger community who'd enjoy this. The more who join, the more drown out a ***** like GDB gets.
One final edit: the good leagues, and good league admin are the motivation. I seriously feed off of it and this community.
Perhaps one day I can just approach JDB with a comparable product and merge efforts with my team. At this time though, I just want to compete with MFN as the villain.
