And to be honest, there are several games that Misc does not need to game plan at all for.

Who cares about the name EE Pro gets in the rest of GLB because of a couple gutted teams? The casual players dont. I dont. most people dont. They are here to have fun with the dots


What I ask you, is why can't the teams that excel play in the Pros, while the more casual teams do not? Why can't they play in AAA, AA or lower? What gives a team the right to play in the Pros?


100% this. You guys can rake Randy over the coals but a lot of teams take the dots as serious as you can.

Hella's have relationships with EE Org (who were demoted and Hella's moved up) and Dogdandy Dragons. Hell, we rubbed each other the wrong way when we were promoted in AAA. I think we've well moved past this and have no problems with each other.

Whether you agree with Randy's approach or not - I don't even know the guy since we just got here - I'm not going to complain about making our Pro league the best out there. Tact or not, I'm glad someone steps up to make it better in the long run.

The promotion/relegation process is broken. The idea is grand, but it takes too long to auto correct. No one sane can argue this IMO.

Misc has a great team. I've conversed with them since AA days .. but this crusade against Randy is just stupid now. You guys want to say he is taking the fun out of this league ... the other side is hijacking every thread. It doesn't matter which side is "right" because at this point the "other" side is "wrong".

Flame away


if he can decide on his own what happens to the league and by doing so spoil the fun for a couple owners/teams (the misc is not alone in thinking this) then it is our right as paying members to react to this. The game itself is still fun but it used to be more fun. I have never had any probs with randy before this. Him doing this made me hate him which obviously took away part of the fun. Now im getting my well paid for fun back on the forums.

If he wants to be in the spotlights, no problem. Just dont start crying when not all reactions are positive.


But he doesn't decide. Bort decides. If the only pm Bort got was from Randy, how is he to know that the rest of EE Pro disagrees? Did you send Bort a msg? Did kenyon? Does Bort know what any of you think?


Sorry man but this is utter BS.
So we should have sent Bort messages in advance saying "Hey Bort, in case anybody tries to convince you to relegate EE Pro, please dont because i like it just the way it is?"
How the hell were we supposed to know that Randy would pull a douchebag move like that?

Are you sending Bort messages about leagues that you dont think need fixing just in case some asshat tries to relegate it?
seriously dude, wtf?

I can somewhat agree with this, in the sense that Bort should of gotten other opinions on the matter before just going through with it. As in coming to our forums and making a post about it asking other people what they thought. But the bottom line is: This is a Pro league... a team full of level CPU players does not belong in a Pro league.

Hit Bort in the wallet - stop boosting; sell your team. What does this forum BS accomplish?


Sorry, but im not going to stop playing this game because 1 guy pulled a BS move. Im not that serious about things.
I do however still spend money here to have fun and randy has taken a bit of that away.
At the end of the day, i get less ROI (fun wise) because of randy.

You keep saying misc is not alone in thinking this, but Randy wasn't alone in thinking that a team full of cpu players and level 1s should not be in pros. You are more than likely out numbered on that thinking. Maybe saying that the Tigers (and a few others) should go down was a bit extreme, but I think that was more so him just expressing his opinion rather than demanding they go down.

And the decision was not Randys... it was Borts. If the decision was Randys then the Dragons would of went down too. Anyone that disagreed with Randy should of sent a PM to support (just like Randy) and expressed their feelings about it.



Randy went behind our back, we had no real clue what was going on till it was practically too late. (not everyone checks the forums once a day in the offseason)
Secondly we shouldnt have sent anything to Bort in the first place. We liked it the way it was so no need to contact Bort to say just that.
Thats like saying you should call the cops to tell them your neighbors are not keeping you up all night.
Dont drag Bort into this either. He has lots of things on his hands and i imagine it isnt that hard to convince him that all owners feel the same when he hardly has the time to verify that statement.

Look at how the forums were last season, look at them now. Still think Randy did a good thing going behind everybody's back to get certain teams relegated?

Yes. Isn't that what you want to protect? The league as it was? Why wouldn't you tell the person to not change it? Ohh, I think I know. It's becuase you know this position is indefensible.

Well, the thing that gave it away to me was that Randy did nothing but talk about it all offseason.

I agree CPU players dont belong in a pro league but there are automatic relegations every season, the league would have regulated itself. It shouldnt be up to ANY of the owners to decide which teams belong and which dont. Certainly not without the knowledge of all other owners.

You cant argue with the fact that by going around everybody's back he turned a potentially good idea into a disaster.
Ironic that by trying to improve the league he actually made it worse for everybody to be in.

Bort is too busy to get other opinions. If Randy's case was good, and there was no case against it then those that failed to act are the ones to blame here.

Lol another post that is missing the point.
Yes he talked about it, during the offseason where there is always a lot less activity.
Second of all it was during the offseason with probably the least activity so far (holidays)
Thirdly he didnt gave anybody a choice AND talked about it when support/bort had already been contacted so the harm was already done. Im not saying it was the worst idea ever, im saying that i despise the way he executed his "masterplan" to save ee pro.
Third time im saying this: look at the result.

the fact that one complete nobody is allowed to have such a massive effect on the game for hundreds of paying customers without any attempt to research the general opinion is a complete and utter joke to be honest.

are you really serious or just trolling?

he contacted support/bort before making the threads during the friggin holiday-offseason.
I and a lot of other people dont even check the forums during the offseason and certainly not when it includes christmas.

So because Misc starts to act like retards again, Randy was automatically wrong to do what he did?

Maybe I'm not remembering it correctly, and I honestly don't feel like figuring it out, but I thought Randy made a post saying what his intentions were. So going back to your cop analogy, if that neighbor came to me during the day and said "hey I'm having a party tonight, the music is gonna be loud as shit. Sorry if you don't get any sleep" then yes, I would call the cops.

And you keep saying "we" liked it the way it was... I still think you are probably in the minority on that thinking.

If I'm missing your point, you should improve it.

Randy made it clear he was going to press for more promotions/demotions since October. He has been trying to get this done since the offseason of S5-6. Do not act like this was a huge surprise. It wasn't.

Also, Randy doesn't need to give anyone a choice. He doens't control your pm system, nor anyone else's. He made it clear what he was doing, and anyone else could have argued to Bort against it. Did you pm Bort or not?

You asked this to be a serious thread, I am being serious. I'm not even being intentionally obtuse, which is quite a feat for me. You should be impressed.

"I PM'd Bort and told him I did not want to be relegated. I earned my way to EE PRO and if I was to be demoted it had to be in accordance to the rules of GLB, not the rules of a jaded person. Obviously Randy has done something to get in Bort's ear to have him outrule me even though I had GLB's rules on my side."
