Does anyone else think it would be funny to come up with a "Survivor 2" moniker for Colby? Something along the lines of ColbyDidn'tSurvive...

IDreamOfGene, You are missing the whole premise of the bet. It was not who will start. It was about what is our main priority in this off-season: frontline or SF. I warned everyone to ask me for clarifications. I warned everyone to accept defeat if your fearless leader did. This bet started in February: The primary determining factor WAS ALWAYS a Rudy quote regarding a new acquisition. Without a Rudy quote, we fall back to who plays first on opening day at the SF spot as the tie-breaker. You are nit-picking about the tie-breaker. The Rudy quote is the proof in the pudding. We have received a Rudy quote that Griffin is an incredible pick for them of historical proportions, and he is a 2 position player. Whether he is a bust or not DOES NOT MATTER. The importance we placed on him in trade value is all that matters. This bet was a ROSTER MOVE bet....ie, what ROSTER MOVES do you think we will make. Now you are turning this into a "Rudy won't start a rookie bet" ...or..."Griffin can still be a bust bet." You are changing the bet. It was simply a bet about what dreamcasting moves will we make. It was a speculation bet. I am sorry you misunderstood it. That is not my fault. There is NO doubt Griffin was a main priority acquisition considering all we gave up to get him...no doubt about that. It does not matter to the bet when he plays, all that matters is what our main priority would be in roster changes this summer. The Langhi part of the bet was simply a tie-breaker so that acquisitions like T-Morris or marginal vets don't necessarily win the bet. Case close that trading up in the draft is definitely classified as a major dreamcasting move. We did that, and we selected a SF/PF combo. Unless one of two scenarios in the opening post of this thread materialize, I am accepting defeat on behalf of everyone who bet with me; simply because we have a starting PF, so the SF/PF combo glorious tie is favoring Crisco. IDreamOfGene, Quit nitpicking about the tie-breaker Langhi thing which only became a part of the bet to handle cases where there were no big blockbuster moves. The bet was a matter of summer priorities. 3 1st-rounders for one player is a significant trade garnering top priority status. Case closed! Ignorance of the spirit of this bet and claiming technicalities doesn't cut it when all we did was bet stupids monikers and post counts. We did not wager money. sheesh! If you do not accept defeat by Oct 31st, my little crispee ass will mock you forever, along with the rest of the losers.
Gene Pisserson, Besides, Rudy has started 5 Rookies recently, Horry Maloney Dickerson Mobley Francis You don't show the knowledge of Rudy you claim. Rudy's top priority this season clearly will be to change his system to take advantage of Griffin's skills. What else do you think Rudy means by saying "Griffin can help us in so many ways." "We filled several needs in one pick." "I am so excited we got him." "I woke up hoping I wasn't dreaming." Langhi hitting the court first doesn't matter. By trading up for Griffin, Rudy/CD made a historical dreamcasting bet. And you made a bet, too. loser! [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited July 09, 2001).]
I am now taking suggestions for my renaiming of Fatty Fat Fat. I have gone through all of the obvious ones (fatsauce, etc.) and am now looking to really get creative. Any suggestions will be considered, unless they come from Fatty himself. ------------------
Who is Tina? ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley
I think my favorite new moniker for Fatty is "Molho Gordo." Unless I hear anything better, that is what I am going with. ------------------
Why is T-Pooh using his old moniker? ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley
Hoop-T You may not "rent" out you moniker. If you want to claim that you are waiting until Oct 31st, fine, but don't use BOTH monikers. In fact, this is the last time for heypartner, since my crispee stealthy period of rediscovering what it is like to be a newbie is over. I am going to go change my password right now. Look you all. If we can't stop using old monikers, I am going to make a new rule that you have to submit all your old passwords to me as your team caption for formal changing for a season. This bet MUST CONSUMMATE. I will go down in infamy, if my team does not behave.
Aye Aye Cap'n Crispee! As I mentioned before, my place as a newbie with a blank spot in the list next to me has left me with no choice but to throw my new nickname to the tender mercies of all of the winning team. Suggestions up to now include: Snipped Mr.Snippy Gutter Snipe I'd like to get a few more suggestions so the winning team can vote on the manner of my humiliation. In addition, I'd like to call for the fellow members of the losing team to listen to the wise words of our badly burned leader Crispee. Suck it up and admit it -- we lost! This petty squabbling over details just makes us all look bad. ------------------ It seems my aim was a little bit off...
Dude, do I really have to reregister my name as HeyBooster? Joe Joe emailed me that name and I freaking hate it. ------------------ A desirous Mo Taylor is better than a prude Chris Webber.
Yes! I had forgotten that I had already call Hardwood out before the bet so I can't really accept Joe-Joes naming of my new moniker. Right? So I'll just wait for petrifywood to come up with something more creative. ------------------ A desirous Mo Taylor is better than a prude Chris Webber.

In my pre-alzheimers mind the bet was that no-one the Rockets would acquire in the off season would be listed ahead of Lanky at SF on Oct 31. Getting Griff was unconceivable at the time the bet was made (to either side of the bet) and certainly tilts the odds to the Crispee side. But I believe Heypartner was just overcome with giddiness in conceeding. Griff may be groomed from day 1 to play PF. Why else would would they have traded a future #1 for T-mo? (just to make Stevie happy?) My monicker means nothing, if it makes ya'll happy I'll change it to NambyPamby today. But a bet with a set date ain't over till the set date. Never give up, don't ever give in. ------------------ I find my own ignorance amusing
HP or Crispee, whomever you are.... I will wait until I see whether or not someone wins the bet...Griffin is a 2 position player....not ONE...TWO !!! IMHO it is still up in the air.... Oh, and you will NEVER be my fearless leader... I lead, I don't follow !!!!! DaDakota ------------------ If you like RTS games, check out this one. www.frontierwars.com coming soon to a PC near you.
