I absolutely refuse to take part in the week 3 game as that is in the past.

what about the rest of your team?

by **kwanton** on Sat Mar 31, 2007 9:08 am

all you have to do is read my previous posts to know my answer. I will PM cenamom and ask if she will play in the week 3 game.

ive been laid back about this situation but im not playing the week 3 game when week 5 is about to start. i honestly dont care what you do with it at this point.

Ak and myself are ok with you refusing to play week 3's game but htis game will then go in the loss column for the Jets and a win for the Bills.You shouldn't mind as it states in your post you don't care what we do with the game.
I understand your anger towards the situation with the bills as it is an unfortunate one but I don't understand why you refuse to play week 3's game as it won't be against the team that was responsible for this mess.
Good luck in your future season games.

Go ahead and drop me from this tournament being that it is ok for a team to not join 2 times and not forfeit, but when the said team that did join 2 times refuses to play and join a third time they get a forfeit. That is a bunch of crap. I suggest yall try to organize said tournaments better and and be more consistant with the rulings concerning not joining games by said teams. Double standards such as those is bull.

It would be different if the season did not move on to week 4 but since we've already played and lost week 4 there is no reason to play a previous week's game over. heck if the whole team quits does the new take over team get to come in and replay all of the previous games that were played since it's not fair for them to take over a team with a bad record since afterall they weren't the ones playing.

Dude, the Buffalo team that didn't join the game is being replaced with an active team. And I also said that you would only have to play 1 game at a time, since you aren't premium and you don't want to lose more of your spots. So what could you possibly be complaining about now?

like i said i dont care. its just a game to me and winning or losing doesnt matter to me. (of course i'd rather win but i really wont lose any sleep over it) the thing that pissed me off about this was the way that this was handled. first a *whole* team deadbeated. not just one or two. thats no one's fault but theirs but there should have been a set time limit before it counted as a forfeit for them. and maybe its wrong for a replacement team to be penalized for the inactivity of the ones they are replacing but like LSU said if thats the case then a replacement team shouldnt be penalized for the other team's sucking ( stated a couple times and still havent read a valid response). Also you would opt to hold up the tourney for everyone instead of just one or two teams. thanks for considering my non-premium status but wouldnt the better choice be to give the team that actually joined their game the win and kept the tourney moving. If LSU wants to protest this and demand that we get the win then I'm behind him 100% cuz he's my teammate but like i said no sleep will be lost on my part regardless of your decision.

By the way now that it's baseball season this NFL tourney is getting kinda old. make ur decision quickly whatever it is.

If week 3 is declared a forfeit on the bills for not showing I'll still play. Otherwise I quit as I am not joining the same stupid game for a certain week 3 times when I've already played a game scheduled for a week afterwards. Whether Cinnamom or Kwanton want to stay and play or not is their choice, but there are plenty of other tournaments out there that I would be perfectly happy to play in if this league is going to double standards and penalize the team that did what they were supposed to do 2 times as I believe that is even more wrong than for a new team coming in and accepting the existing situation rather than backlogging the entire league.

by **AK_iceman** on Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:10 am

Forfeits seem kinda like a lazy alternative to actually playing the game, and how exactly are the Buffalo replacements being penalized if they have an undefeated record to start with?
I'm trying not to penalize either of your teams, and just get the game played and let skill decide the victory.

by **LSU Tiger Josh** on Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:35 am

Obviously you are having trouble comprehending the fact that week 4 should NEVER had been played if week 3 had not been finished at the time. The time to have addressed that was in one of the first two times that we joined that game and being that my team did in fact join both times I refuse to join a third time for the same game when week 4 was already played. As I already stated, I am not going to play the week 3 game because it should've already been concluded and if it does lead to a forfeit for the Jets then go spend more time finding another player since I will not waste any more of my time in this tournament when the TD wants to give double standards on the joining and waiting. To me the situation is no different then when a full team is replaced they don't have to go back and play all of the other games that were previously played and either won or loss. They accept the record and move on. If however, the Bills "have to" play this week 3 game then I suggest they should have to replay week 1 and 2 as well since it's not fair for them to start the season 2-0 when afterall this is a "brand new team" and it's not fair to the teams that lost in weeks 1 and 2 to them to be stuck with a loss to players that are no longer playing.

Afterall this tournament is hopping with potential replacements for all the teams that dont' bother showing up and joining their games while myself and the rest of my team joined the 5 games created for us already within 36 hours of it being told. By forcing the other 26+ teams to wait longer I would say you would probably lose even more players rather than just giving forfeits to all the teams that didn't show for week 3(bills) and week 4(bills, raiders not sure). However, I'm not going to worry about that since I won't be playing week 3 and if the Bills game is forced to be played you can try to find someone else that will join within 36 hours of it being created as I will be quitting and moving on to tournaments that are more organized and won't bend over to teams that didn't do what they were supposed to do and instead focus on the ones that actually did what they were supposed to..

Falcons defeat the Cardinals

Game 302368

Chiefs beat the 49ers in a thrilling victory.

We fell behind when I missed the first quarter and one of our players got injured and was out for the game, but then I returned for the 2nd quarter and led us to the come back win.

Yeah, but those doubled armies crippled us and we lost our momentum.
Well played guys. :wink:

OK, as I am not close with either team members, I really have no idea WTF is going on...I do know that this is just another game for me to play so I really don't care who didn't show up or why...I understand my teammates points, but it is indifferent to me. So let me know someone if they are being replaced or what the hell I am supposed to do now. LOL Thanks
:wink:

We are not bending over for the bills,they are being replaced.

After not joining two times. After the first time they didn't join a game, it should've been a forfeit much less a 2nd time and than wind up getting them replaced. Either way I'm not joining that game and if it is a forfeit against the Jets yall can go find someone else that will join games in a timely manner b/c i'm not going to play in this one that doesn't address things in a timely manner.
