I'll happily cede to your requests to ignore you... but first some politely phrased points/requests of my own:

* The amount *I* talk about HT is minimal. You said that I talk "non-stop about HT" - that's simply untrue. Moreover, our GM has stated that he's fine with OT talk, and even participated in the conversation.
* Please don't scold me for "modding", and then do the same (telling us what we can/can't talk about). I guess if we're ignoring each other, this won't be a problem.
* 2 posts (being pt1 & pt 2 of the same post) isn't really "machine-gunning responses".
* Civility... Yup, I *could* be more "civil" to you, but maybe read your posts over the last day - without any reference points, just your own posts - and ask yourself about your own level of 'civility'. You have often talked about 'respect' in the past - it's a two-way street.

Done... now, let's get about the happy times of ignoring each other.

Come on....HT has some things you would REALLY LOVE......How about this for an example..I won the player that helped me stay in Div.3 with an AUTOBID.....Yes, that is right...I put the max I would pay and went to sleep...my team Autobidded 3 times after I went to sleep to seal the deal. How about this for example number two......HT has more than one tactic that works....

GE viewer and training.....BB>HT (I admit, the two most important)
Everything else................HT>BB

I think that's a valid measure. I prefer the BB training... but that's because of the simplicity of it (at the risk of sounding like I'm trying to turn stuff around!). The stamina share with training on HT can get messy.
It all comes down to - for me - the GE viewer. I mean, at the end of the day, it's all about the games. It's far superior at BB. I can actually watch a BB game... whereas with HT I just check occasionally, maybe not at all.

The more I think about it, the more Nik0's point about Tycoon rings true. That's all any of this is: "building something".

Seeing as we're talking...

These aren't really MMOs... but meh, that's semantics.

HT are very strict on second teams... and with their system of supporter you can get a second team any way (I have one). And no transfers between the two teams.
Your suggestion on training is interesting, and I agree with you as to BB being the most interesting basketball browser game... and having the best GE viewer of any browser game I've seen.
And that's the key selling point.

On money, HT seems to be doing pretty well. Generally they have 10x the presence online that we do here - but then football's a bigger global game.


Oh... and wowow? You're better off getting an International League Pass straight from the NBA...

NBA League Pass is more expensive, but you get more too. For the season, it'll probably be a bit over $200. But that's for every game, and 'games on demand' (that you can watch whenever). You can get a 'team package', where you could get every Blazers game - I think that runs at about half price?
You can also watch with your X-Box (if you have one), or on your phone or tablet.

My PC's screen is big-ass... so fine with that. My kid/wife tend to dominate the TV any way, and also with LP I can watch games at lunch time, or on the road (traveling).

Sorry about the CT Mizik: I needed that win, but didn't want to compromise my training either. So... playing K-Mat at the point, with crap support - and in your house = the need for me to CT.
I think that should just about guarantee that I finish no worse than 5th.

Kiyotake vs Stunners could be fun next week - Kiyotake could keep 6th, and avoid playing YC.
