Hehe... no offense taken, but you should know perfectly well that if constructive solutions are suggested and there is a logical reasoning behind it, it's not a complain. Call me kissing Admin's a** if you will , but I definitely would hate to see us wasting Clutch's resources and money on a great Rockets site like this. I'm just trying to look at the situation from Clutch's perspective, if you want to call it complain, oh well... I guess you probably won't get a vote from me in this tournament hehe
tshi, If Clutch doesn't want this, then it won't continue. He had no problem with it last year until BullRider said something. And I see where you are coming from, but you do realize that you "contributed to the problem" by wasting 5 to 10 posts talking about something that Clutch may not even care about.
If you choose not to vote for me cause I spoke my mind, then I don't want your vote. I'm flattered and shocked that I'm even in the tourney, to be honest. There are plenty of great posters here, smarter, funnier, and better-spoken than myself. But in the grand scheme of things, the tournament's a tiny blip in terms of server usage. How many threads are started on this site per day? How many posts? I'd bet over a thousand. It's a silly popularity contest, sure, but it's not harming Clutch or any of the admins. If it was, they'd lock it. A number of clutch crew members participated last year when we had one, and Jeff won the whole enchilada. They'd stop it if it was unappreciated. If you want to support the site, go ahead and help out by kicking in a couple bucks to the tip jar. There are few worthier causes.

Maybe I come back with votes for those matchups later.
Glad I got your attention Manny Ramirez. It must be my bad english which translated my "pointing out the problem and offering suggestions" into your interpretation of "contributed to the problem". My first two posts in this thread is all it matters. The rest was me having a little fun with other guys. Sorry for derailing this thread, I should have posted this in your initial tournament thread but I wasn't around at the time. I'll leave it at that. Keep yourself busy.
I just found it hilarious that you felt compelled to go on this crusade. Do you know that out of the regular posters here that I might have one of the better relationships with Clutch and Jeff?? Not that I want to brag or this is anything to brag about, but if you knew this, you would realize how idiotic and foolish you sound. As mentioned earlier, if Clutch or Jeff or anyone else that is a mod thinks this is a bad idea, then the tourney gets shut down, no questions asked. Until then, please shut your piehole and participate if you want to or not, I don't care. Yup, this tourney really has taken a lot of my time. The longest part was the seeding which took an hour, but hey I wish I could get you to be my boss at work so I can fool you into thinking I'm doing all kinds of work if you think this thing has caused me to be "busy", lol.

West I 1) Rocketman95 16) Yetti 8) Timing 9) PhiSlammaJamma 5) Mrs. JB 12) Mulder Huge fan of both - Mulder gets it due to Mrs. JB's absence 4) ima_drummer2k 13) The Voice of Reason Close one. 6) B-Bob 11) thacabbage Too close to call. Love em both. Abstain. 3) rimbaud 14) Johnny Rocket 7) Desert Scar 10) Stupid Moniker Too close. Abstain. 2) haven 15) Lynus302 Another very close call. West II 1) heypartner 16) Faos heypartner's a friend and maybe my favorite poster, but he's gone and Faos is one of the very, very best new posters around. 8) Almu 9) The Cat 5) rockHEAD 12) bigtexxx Easiest vote to date. 4) Achebe 13) outlaw Two great posters. Achebe's as good as it gets. If he was still around, he'd get the nod. If outlaw posted more, he would. Abstain. 6) DCKid 11) JuanValdez Too close. Abstain. 3) Manny Ramirez 14) Live 7) FranchiseBlade 10) RocketsPimp Very hard not to vote for the Pimp. Harder still not to vote for the Blade. 2) TheFreak 15) Sonny As much as I love Hakeem, Freak's been too stubborn about him. Conversely, he's been great on Rudy. Disagree with him a lot, but he's a great poster.
Is it just me or has MacBeth been postin A lot more since this tourney has started, guess he wants the upper hand in the rest of the rounds... Little Punk

West I 1) Rocketman95 16) Yetti Rocketman95 - I'm his protege, I gotta vote for him. 8) Timing 9) PhiSlammaJamma PSJ 5) Mrs. JB 12) Mulder Mrs. JB - foxy, smart, Jeff is lucky. 4) ima_drummer2k 13) The Voice of Reason VOR - farscape fan 6) B-Bob 11) thacabbage B-Bob funny as hell 3) rimbaud 14) Johnny Rocket rimbaud - too elitist, but i like his posts 7) Desert Scar 10) Stupid Moniker Stupid Moniker - Hydra 2) haven 15) Lynus302 Haven - former sim commish West II 1) heypartner 16) Faos heypartner 8) Almu 9) The Cat The Cat - sim league 5) rockHEAD 12) bigtexxx rockHEAD is funny, but texx is republican so too close to call 4) Achebe 13) outlaw HEB 6) DCKid 11) JuanValdez DC 3) Manny Ramirez 14) Live Manny Ramirez, fellow RS fan. 7) FranchiseBlade 10) RocketsPimp Pimp - too bad he's a yankees fan. 2) TheFreak 15) Sonny Too close to call. Freak's a hardcore Repub, but I met Sonny and he's a cool guy. I'll go with Sonny actually.
whoops. I was too late. Perfect way to promote myself in the second round though. And as a bonus, I got to offend people I didn't vote for while not benefiting the others. Swell.
