I am in Tallahasse and the worst was when the Pats were playing the Steelers last season or some big game like that and it got bumped in favor of the Dolphins/Texans game.

I had the Jets/KC on TV and was listening to the Eagles/Falcons on the radio. Fucking Verizon decided that I no longer get Philly stations, but NY ones instead.

That's a bit of an over-generalization no?

"loldots", to me, is the idea that the game isn't a workable and testable model of American Football.

I'm not going to rant against the game. I have confidence in the direction and vision Bort has for it, but at the same time, acting like these games are a test of much more then "Who found the latest exploit", "Who's FS took the least retarded path to the ball", or "Which team's DE ran around the OT more times" is a little silly.

The game would be much better if people took a deep breath occasionally.


As a MMORPG, GLB is all about competition between teams and players. There are imperfections in the sim, and if it won't be anything but "loldots" until it is a "workable and testable model of American Football", well, it's going to be loldots for a very long time.

As it stands now, the flaws in the sim aren't enough to rob me of my enjoyment of the game. In my eyes, winning doesn't simply consist of exploiting flaws and cheesing your way to victory. There are strategy, tactics and planning involved in winning.

The way you're describing loldots is the antidote to people who take the game too seriously and believe that winning makes them some kind of genius. Fine, I can see where that's annoying. But that's not my particular problem. I know it's a game, and I know that winning involves a lot of luck. But for me, the game becomes less fun if people don't take it somewhere seriously. There's a middle ground between loldots and taking it too seriously, and I'd like to stay there. Which is why I'd prefer that this meme not take over the whole game. If people want to approach the game that way, great, more power to 'em. I'm happy as long as I don't have to be over-exposed to it.


1) The game is going to be loldots for a while. That's part of the work in progress tag. Doesn't mean it's not a fun game, but inputs hardly equal outputs right now

2) If only you were in the majority, but you aren't. Having to listen to people prattle on and on about how great their gameplanning was/is gets old (someone even mentioned examples involving the goalline thing earlier). I think that's where the "loldots" meme actually sprung from, the backlash from one too many "my team is better than your team" threads. Because that's such a useless debate with things borked as badly as they are, I think people just got tired.


If the game was just a math equation would that really be fun or representative of the real world? In that world the Giants would never beat the Patriots. Exploits are happening but they by know means are guaranteeing those teams victory. USA Pro is full of talent and it will only be tougher next year. No doubt some play-off teams are going to fall into the bottom 4.

Doesn't that imply that we should have expected them to win?

I think DD was using this definition of upset...

-to disturb mentally or emotionally; perturb

So the Daggers were mentally/emotionally disturbed all season, which sounds about right.

You just called a Gator smart? Do you want to retract that statement? I am a BSB fan fo sho...best team in USA Pro West and probably all of USA Pro and their QB unlike Matt Stafford is one of the best around.
