Super Bowl Pool

[Mikey-OH]

Basil I have to imagine that you must have something better to do with your life than just sit around and roast people from behind your computer screen. As far as I can tell that seems to be the majority of your posts on this site. Although I will say it always give me a good chuckle to come on here and see the things you write. Don't you have a job or something productive to do with your life?

Maybe you "old guys" should help out with this contest then instead of taking over a 4th thread with all your hateful comments towards me. Maybe show this guy what outstanding gentlemen you are and show some interest. Or you could just sit around, let this go to waste, and wait around like lions on the hunt for him to say something that rubs you guys the wrong way and then you can pounce on him like most of the other new people that come to this board. I guess you just do what you have to in order to keep your "good ol' boy" network intact and without interruption.

Nope, lots of new people come here and are treated with respect. You've been singled out because you've proved to be untrustworthy by not living up to your end of a Secret Santa. Then you acted like it was not really a big deal. Your reputation is shot. Not all new guys get treated this way, only those that ruin their own reputation by proving their lack of character.

STFU!

People like Ted have been more productive and done more for society than your nestled little ass can fathom.

This board is not out to pounce on new folks.. ..only assholes that do not belong. You have shown that you clearly do not belong here with your lack of accountability, defensive mouthy mouth, martyrdom, and baiting.

Every sentence you type is detrimental to your cause.

Mikey,

I like newbies and so do a lot of the other BOTL's here. A board can not survive or grow with out them. That's one of the reason I did the Newbie Secret Santa and will do a Cigar Draft that I will push for the Newbies to join in on. I know I have one sticky around here that has advice to the newbie. Linky I also told you in plain terms in the grinch list thread what you should do. The STFU didn't mean just in that thread it meant board wide. Once a package showed up then you could have started posting a little. Maybe one day you would have fixed this. Not now! You stepped on your own dick too much.

You really should check out www.cigarlive.com They give people a second chance no matter what you do.

prostartjr,

Thanks for offering. I haven't been a member long enough to get involved in a 'precision exercise' like the pool you're proposing. Everyone involved has to know the ropes already. It's a great idea though. Good thoughts on the structure, too.


May I add a general comment from the perspective of a complete noob?

DG is right. In my brief experience with this board, new members who take the time to learn the lay of the land and identify the core participants can benefit greatly from what the the community has to offer. There is a wealth of useful information and commentary available even if you choose not to participate in the contests or passes. Personally, I have found members to be respectful and very forgiving of errors. That last part depends on the individual.

There are many genuinely decent people here. I hope you're not put off by the artillery falling around us. It makes sense for senior members to point out issues when they occur. It would be a shame to bring the board into disrepute. Sorry for the hijack. Good luck with the pool.

Smoked, I would have no problem allowin you to participate. You have a decent amount of post (more than me atleast). If noone else objects, I would have no problem allowing you in as long as you think you understand what needs to be done. Im a newb myself, and dont like to be pushed aside just because of that, (this board seems to be good with giving people a shot and if you blow it than they come down on you). That being said, as long as your in good standing, I have no problems letting fellow newbs participate. Hell we need people anyway and there dont seem to be to many intrested yet.

Hey, thanks again. I'm traveling a bit the next couple weeks and don't have too much spare time. It wouldn't be that enjoyable for me. I'll have to pass on this one, but I'll be around for other contests down the road.

That is sure a refreshing attitude.

That is sure a refreshing attitude.

It's good to see a newbie that "gets it".

prostartjr...It's good for you to sponser this pool. Might I suggest you maybe do some other sports pool down the road. It will give you some time to better organize.

[prostartjr1738]

I will definatly try and do some more sports stuff in the future. The reason I got this up so late was that I thought there was one already going here. When looking for it a few days ago, I saw there wasnt one up yet. I will try and do something for the hockey playoffs which arent all that far away. I will try and come up with something good for that.
