For the record, while I do have some qualms about the incorrect update, I recognize my team simply didn't score enough to avoid a strike this week. Hats off to the guys who scored more than us last min to pull or stay ahead; it was a fun frantic night. If anything I tried to score more points to make up for the misjudgment in trusting a bad update (which have never been that off the entire tourney, but whatever) rather than "whine" and try to dodge a strike. But some people like to jump to conclusions like they know what the fuck is going on.
And as an FYI Bongo was right on top of this from the start, and tried to be as fair as possible. Its pretty fucking shitty the way some of you guys treat him in all this, going so far as to threaten to post the official scores because he was trying to resolve the situation fairly. Every bump in the road people have railed on him for being incompetent and it’s simply not right. Despite the fact that I’m still in the tournament I have no desire to go on due to the chronic negative attitudes which I’ve stupidly tolerated from the start. Have fun bitching at each other for the next 6 months over a fucking used game or point card, I have better things to do.

My problem is not what Bongo is doing, it's what he's NOT doing. His failure to communicate when these "bumps in the road" appear only serves to escalate the problems. If instead of running away and hiding at the first sign of adversity, he simply stepped in and made a judgement, these situations wouldn't end up like this. I said it before, I don't even care which way his judgement goes, just that we aren't left hanging in limbo. Then stand behind the damned decision.
The "threat" to post the scores is what may need to happen so some people know where they stand. Threat... That's so stupid. What needed to be resolved? What wasn't fair? We just wanted a damned update or at least a small post letting us know that he's even alive and the scores would be posted when he had time. We aren't asking for mountains to be moved.
Now, who the fuck are you saying is jumping to conclusions? What the fuck is there to know about what is going on? I didn't realize there was so much going on behind the scenes here.
I have to say, I had to read this a few times because it is more like a series on sentences crammed together than an actual thought leading to a point or conclusion. You are being that person who writes a huge drama filled sob story about how you hate the drama. You veil your insults so by the end you haven't said any names, but you have attacked very specific parties. You are a chickenshit AND a hypocrite. If you really had something better to do, why would you even bother to write these huge idiotic ramblings? If you really don't care about any of this and the bad attitudes are so upsetting to you, by all means show yourself to the door. I promise, life will go on.

Well, although I believe they dont deserve a strike, Silent Taker gets a strike towards elimination
where is there any reason to question why they would get a strike? So when Junior and I have a bad week and have the lowest points I should just complain to avoid a strike I take it?

I'm not stepping on any toes or anything and I really DON'T CARE to go back and read prior posts about what had his or anyone else's panties in a bunch, I just don't understand why there would be any confusion as to LAST PLACE getting a strike for the week, isn't that how the competition eliminates people? We've had HOW many free weeks?? I touched the 360 for like a grand total of 3 days this week for maybe 6 hours combined and had 800 points with little to no effort

What's there NOT to get a strike for? He had 365 points and his team was in last place where is there any reason to question why they would get a strike? So when Junior and I have a bad week and have the lowest points I should just complain to avoid a strike I take it?
where is there any reason to question why they would get a strike? So when Junior and I have a bad week and have the lowest points I should just complain to avoid a strike I take it? You tell me, Is 5 to 6 hours enough time to get a couple hundred points when you had plans to take the day off? Maybe for some teams yes, but after finding out the real scores with little time left, they should be faulted because of someone else errors? Although, I do thank misterman for the update even though it wasnt 100% accurate.
And I am very tired of people thinking that I am favoring. The last free week we had was the gamercard problem. I got jumped on for saving Irish and Snapple, but it was Krob Bear that got saved. Now you think Im helping Silent Taker because Silent complained, what a joke. There was a real issue like the gamercards. It was the first time that they altered the finish and we learned our lesson and moved on with a free week. This is the first time that the updates have altered the outcome, but I know I cant use a free week, because of the shit I got last time.
I wasn't saying you were favoring anyone, just asking a simple question as to where the confusion lay with last place getting a strike, didn't care to read prior posts to see what everyone was mad over...Re: Re: 2011 Partner GS Tournament

Well, although I believe they dont deserve a strike, Silent Taker gets a strike towards elimination. I dont think people should be getting on silentbob's case, he was on the wrong end of a shitty deal and has the right to be upset. People shouldnt bitching about misterman either. Almost every single person that has done an update has made at least some kind of mistake and in this case it was just a little too late to fix.
EDIT: I read a few more posts and its absolutley pathetic the way you guys are treating him. Im tempted to take that strike back with the lack of respect. Put yourself in his situation and think about how you would react. Im sure you wouldnt want the same crap your giving him.

If you had updated when you took the scores at midnight, this shit wouldn't have happened!
The thing is that we have had several issues in this competition, which is fine, it happens, but when things happen, the people who are said to have "chronic negative attitudes" are trying to come up with solutions to assure that it won't happen again.
But Bongo is nowhere to be found. Everyone in this competition is looking for a way to make it as fair as possible by offering suggestions, but those suggestions are always called flaming by people who obviously have no idea what flaming actually is. YOU, BONGO, have to be a part of this thread and these discussions. YOU must communicate so we aren't left to wonder what is going on or else this stuff will dissolve into fights. You can't just dissapear and then show back up like you can't believe there were problems.
You want to know what flaming ACTUALLY is? Fuck what you think about how we are treating Silentbob, he's a fucking dicksucker. He wants to bitch about how he's tired of the drama and negativity, but he was the one who started all of this. HE was in the Grinds my gears thread saying people who can't do simple math grind his gears. To hell with his hyporitical ass.

Sounds like everyone needs to be accountable for themselves during the week. Once the final scores are posted by bongo, then you will know where you stand.
Communication with your partner assures accuracy amongst yourselves. If you want to know how you place during the week, then do your own update privately or wait until bongo does an official update.
Circus and I, don't really care what others scores are. We constantly communicate, and bitch at each other until we earn points and meet our own personal criteria.
Enough bitching from everyone and let's earn them points!
