EvoHock: lol....
EvoHock: this guy just i/med me about sending a virus to hitman
EvoHock: lol
EvoHock: cuz that day
EvoHock: I was pissed off
EvoHock: and I talked to this guy
EvoHock: but I told him forget it
EvoHock: lol.....ironic timing

 
I hope most of you are shocked by that. I couldn't believe it. That was the final straw for me. This kid is just way too immature. He actually contacted someone about sending a virus to The Saints. Hitman408 said that his firewall just did catch a virus, but there's no way to tie EvoHock to him. Doesn't matter, he said all he needed to. This is a videogame people. My computer is my livelihood. No one should have to be concerned about this. And no one will be. This, mixed with how he handled the "plug pulling" situation, and the fact that he straight-up lied during a game, saying it was against the rules to go for it on 4th down with the lead - whew, he's done. I don't accept cheaters, and this vuirus thing? Are you kidding me? Amazing. I also talked with every member I could find online and they all overwhelmingly agreed. Many thought he should be kicked after the last incident, but I said that wasn't fair. More than anything, I'm not gonna risk losing the whole league to defend this kid. I don't even wanna play him because of this crap. And no one will have to.
 
Also realize, that I do this with great reluctance. He personally got 6 members into this league by recruiting for me. However it would be unfair for me to allow him to stay in the league for that reason. He proved on so many levels, that he is a cancer to this league. He even showed his "Racist" side in the chat room when I told him the news. Yet another thing I will NOT stand for. I also suggest you all block EvoHock, and the following names: CinceyEz, NBALcommish, hitman40008, Kreg4222, Madhatter603, NEchiefs66, wsb2k2RedSox (all his alter egos) from your buddy list. He's threatening everyone with "action". Whatever.
 
Moving on, Bob Woodard (a grown-up - lol) has taken his place, and amazingly is in the midst of a huge 4 game marathon to catch up. This will not hold us back in the least. His AIM is Dance with Bob, and he's also a Blue League Member. Welcome him.
 
Let me also say that I've allowed people to move to weeks 5-6. Let me explain what's happening. This is the first time we've done this many teams (20) and I basically had to guess at what was the best way to go about it. Last season we just had a free-for-all at the end, and it was too much. This season we chose 2 week segments, with no one moving ahead until all games were played. That's actually not too bad - but I'm gonna allow people to go ONE 2 week segment ahead. The reason is people were planning to just go ahead and play, yet not tell me. LOL. Then just tell me when we made it there. They weren't doing this to cheat, but people have busy weeks, and if you can only play on the weekends - you might as well play 3 games if you can. So here's the rule:
 
There will be no set "Schedule" of when you have to play. You will need to get ahold of your oppenents and set up a time. We will work in 2 week increments, and I will update accordingly. Realize that 2 weeks is not real-time. When everyone has played their first 2 games, and I've updated - you're all free to move on to your next 2, etc. I will allow each team to move ahead one 2 week increment while waiting for the update, but no more. Anything more than that, and it's a loss of a testical. LOL. But seriously, be patient guys - have fun.
 
I think this will end up being the best balance. I still update every 2 weeks, but I underestimated just how hard it would be with 20 people. Allowing people to go one 2 week increment ahead, is more than fair. I still completely expect it to be one 2 week increment per "real" week. This doesn't make us go any faster in the end. Just a bit easier to schedule.
 
Now finally, and probably most important: Scheduling and Stat Etiquette.
 
ALWAYS email your opponent with a TIME that you can play. DOn't just ask him when he's available. Give a specific time.
 
Sup sup Broncos man...
 
I'm free to play Sunday from 9 AM to 3 PM PST. Lemme know if you can make that.

Also, the stats, I need them more specific:
 
AWAY TEAM -3 7 7 0 17 79/260
HOME TEAM -7 0 7 7 21 97/301
precipitation - degrees - time - actual date of game
 
Cool? Remember rush/pass, and also - please put the actual TEAM NAME in there. Don't just put Away and Home. LOL.
 
Otherwise, although it's drama-central, the league is going awesome. I was laughing the whole game with The Colts dude. You're all very cool guys to talk to and play, and I really think the biggest problem is gone. It's unfortunate that it had to happen like that, but there's never been a more obvious "BAN" of a member that I could imagine.
 
Man, Murphy's Law is gonna bite me in the ass for that.... heh.
 
Enjoy guys...
