Should stogey and I CT each other too, or does that not directly benefit us?



I don’t think it is a good idea for stogey to blindly continue his MTIE agreement with yourself, however as you are friends outside of BB I don’t see this changing.

I assume his line of thinking is that you are even teams & will split the games each season – stogey, how is that going to work out this sesaon? 2-0 to KDB & him keeping his advantage over you is my bet.

I don't get this part.

If everyone CTs Ice Storm, than one of you gets the top seed. If everyone CTs KDB and I, then Heathens gets the top seed.



Indeed - Ice Storm, KDB, Chicago Bulls don’t receive the 2/3 playoff arena money. Those teams are bought back to the pack.

Next season the NBBA becomes more even. The probability of Ice Storm, KDB, Chicago Bulls confidently throwing out the automatic TIE for a majority of games is reduced. Their enthusiasm will be reduced for some games.

More managers are going to have the chance of winning something & getting access to the BBB cash.

Having the same teams receiving the 2/3 playoff arena money each season is not good for the majority of managers as it allows those teams to create the gap we see in the league today.

Eventually there may not be any teams that need to be bought back to the pack as the league will have a more even competition, however this season there clearly are.

I didn't CT Ice earlier in the season but I did take a crack at him and got a little lucky, if I manage to stay up it was one of the most important wins of my season.

Salary wise teams are becoming much more close than they have been in the past, where once upon a time you probably were better off just taking it easy I don't think that the top 3 or 4 teams are as indestructible as they were in the past.

I don't think a damn the torpedoes full CT ahead approach will let you stay up, and staying in the NBBA is a definite cash improvement for any team. I am not sure that anyone needs to feel the need to back down from anyone else though, and if you are doing it outside of a regular away game and I have a tough cup game (for those of us lucky enough to not suck at cup games) I think you are probably cheating yourself out of a chance to pull off a very cool win.

I do think that Waggy has posted the most impressive middle finger sign on his front porch I have ever seen in Buzzerbeater though. Its made for some interesting forum reading.

Again, I don't see how I'm getting lumped into this. I've played a grand total of 2 playoff games in the last 3 seasons. In that time period, the Giants have played 4 D.II playoff games, 2 NBBA relegation playoff games, and recieved $1,000,000 in promotion money. Who do you think came ahead financially in that matchup?

Secondly, as I said earlier, I'm consistently slightly-above average in salary but way below the league leaders.

Ask Brian if I do this. We don't always TIE each other. If anything, our communication outside of BB lends to more head games for our matches.

And Brian's team was essentially built to beat mine, something he's been very good at. If I don't agree to a TIE, he just Normals. There hasn't been one game yet that he's been tempted to try to beat me TIE vs. Normal. We've been rivals every season.

I want to make sure everyone knows that I think Heathens is actually favored to finish above me this season anyway, the above statement is just my prediction what would happen if waggyrob's plan was enacted and worked.

I would think it a better idea for the big 8 to aim for KDB / Bulls as the big 8 team receives more direct benefit from the CT

I heartily endorse this event or product.

Financial information is my speciality, however I don't intend to bore the rest of the forum with numbers.

I will ignore the failure of your post to mention your access to BBB money during this same time & instead, highly recommend you relegate to II next season & test the validity of your claim. You will find it is not the rosy scenario you portray.

If I don't agree to a TIE, he just Normals. There hasn't been one game yet that he's been tempted to try to beat me TIE vs. Normal. We've been rivals every season.


Sounds to me like Brian knows you a little too well.
