The official Robyn v. UntilTheNDofTimE ELITE 8 thread

Robyn · 10-06-09, 07:35 AM

Oops, I forgot. Congratulations UTEOT. I am coming down with something and do not feel well, so I don't have much fight in me right now. There will be no snapping.

You are an incredibly lucky fella. Make sure to give your mom a kiss next time for keeping you tied up on the phone.

BadNina · 10-06-09, 10:22 AM

I must be overlooking the "Oops...my bad" post from Loubert or whomever was in charge of this. I have given this a lot of thought and plan on being a bitch about it all day long.

BadNina · 10-06-09, 10:29 AM

Plan on it. I mean it isn't like those picks were there for a few hours. It was all day long and no one said anything until AFTER the end of the MNF game. That is some major slackass stinkage.

Fearless, I want someone's head on a platter for this screw up.

This is the most disappointing thing that I've seen happen in an SBR contest. At the end of the day it's free and we should be grateful that SBR does all this stuff for us, we have to take the good with the bad.

BadNina · 10-06-09, 10:40 AM

This is still major slackassness no matter how you spin it, Fearless. The picks were available from late Sunday night, all day Monday until after the football game. It gave options. And allegedly wasn't discovered by anyone in charge until after the football game. It doesn't take long to click on something to make sure things are correct.

BadNina · 10-06-09, 10:41 AM

And the fact that no one has said a word about this YET just disgusts me.

Robyn · 10-06-09, 10:44 AM

When I was in the shower this morning, I was thinking about this. If I had paid to enter this contest, I would have snapped, even though I am not feeling well. But with it being a free contest, I don't want to look like a little cry baby. But trust me, there is still a potential snappage factor if the Tigers pull off the win, trust me on that.

It's disturbing and suspicious but so is a lot of what goes on here. I feel we have to take the good with the bad. That's the only way we can approach it, imho.

UntilTheNDofTimE · 10-06-09, 10:47 AM

Well said

BadNina · 10-06-09, 10:48 AM

I might mellow out once I have enough coffee in me but two cups don't cut it. I also thought about this this morning and I know that Loubert would have had both a goat and a cow if this screwup had ever happened to him. And since I can't think of anything more pressing I have to do today, I plan on being a royal bitch about it on your behalf. Just cause I can. It was slackassness at its best.

I agree that we do. And yeah, this is a fun thing. But (and I am gonna repeat this ALL day long) this was a case of slackassnessed. I don't think it was anything intentional or underhanded. I think it was lazy and slackass.

Robyn · 10-06-09, 10:54 AM

Lou just sent a private message to me apologizing for the error. The apology was appreciated and I hope they use this situation to prevent software glitches from happening again in future contests.

BadNina · 10-06-09, 10:55 AM

Is that telling me "Play nice, Nina"?

You can have mine, child. Bottom line is a contest that is supposed to stop through Monday can't include a game for the following day Tuesday. And in this case, under normal circumstances the Tigers-Twins game would've been played yesterday (Monday), but was trumped by MNF. MLB just recently made the decision to set home field for a tiebreaker game like this in the favor of the team that beat the other more times than not during the regular season. The old rule was simply a coin flip to decide.

It sucks, but then it would also suck if we said ok, Robyn can play that game. But in the end it's no different than a book setting no action on a game they listed with a bad line. If the Tigers win today, I will be a very happy man and will gladly give Robyn some of my points. If they lose, I won't be happy about losing my bet but I will still give her some points. Though I realize that it won't make up for her winning the round and advancing on in the tournament, it can at least serve as a makeup offering and prevent everyone from walking around with their panties in a wad all day.

Our 128 Man and 64 Man tournaments both had wrongly allowed Tuesday night games to be available for wagering due to a round date glitch.

I didn't notice this until last night, I apologize for missing the post in this thread yesterday. I take full ownership of the error, I should have spotted it by looking at the contest configuration settings.

I will be awarding everyone who had a play deleted in either tournament 125 points , enough for an SBR pizza. I know that may be kind of lame but it's the best I'm able to offer up. I apologize again.

Robyn · 10-06-09, 10:59 AM

Pizza party at Robyn and Bread's house!!!!!!!1

I dont understand your black kettle joke

My point was I do not like to see posting handles that I have never even heard of, win contest

Your metal kettle implies I would be a ghost

I would like to have seen the winner of your head to head win it all

Robyn · 10-06-09, 11:04 AM

I thought you were a ghost, no? If not, sorry buddy.

BadNina · 10-06-09, 11:10 AM

I feel better now. And for the record, I never thought that the picks should be counted. I already wished Until well in the contest. It was the time factor that really bugged me. But the whole world is nicer after the 5th cup of coffee. When cen we start another one, Loubert?

UntilTheNDofTimE · 10-06-09, 11:12 AM

Isnt robyn breads ghost?

Most ghost at SBR are created to cheat in contest and points hording

I have visited SBR for many years..but it was always to check the grade on a book..I have always felt anything SBR gave a B or above to would be a decent book..and the A books, well i have them all

I never checked the forums here until about 3 months ago..

You will not see many ghost with nearly 16 hundred post in 2 and a half months

Ghost will normally have more points than post

I did screw my son in law..I went to his house and wanted to show him all the contest and stuff at SBR..I logged and and boasted to him about all the free opportunities..He joined up later that day..from his own house with his own computer..Next thing I know Willie Bee is knocking on my door telling me I am ghosting an account..My son in law has not joined any contest because of it..He missed beat the prick and all the good stuff..i screwed him the day I showed him SBR..Meanwhile some bastard out there has 3-4 entrees in every contest..bet your ass on it..I let Karma deal with those who cheat..wish last night`s game would have stayed under..I would have had sole first place in BetPheonix contest..Least i went 4-0 in Beat the Prickaroo
