See you all at a later time

i did'nt say you had a gang like mentality, i said i see it on this site, did'nt say who
or where,...my note to you ended at "did you stop and think it was hurtful to Sue"
...guess i should have seperated the paragraph

Im not going to defend myself here Missie cause more things would be said and more drama
would become of it....but plz dont associate my mentality with a gang mentality....a tad
unfair? Thanks.

I tryed putting
this on your wall but i could'nt get it to work.

awe sue dont' let it bother you, i know its easier said then done but dont let rudeness
drive ya away, and yes i do think it was rude Lep, you singled sue out from and altogether
separate blog and belittled her, so what she had a moment and got pissed off, i've seen it
done around here a million times, i didn't see separate blogs made up about those people
though, i did see that you changed the name of it, i know your a tongue in cheek kind of
guy lep but did you stop and think about that being hurtful to Sue ? i remember sitting
on the old site when the change over first happened from old to new rbs, people came over
talking about gang like mentalities, i see it now, only thing is i didn't see it on the
old site. Sue hun take a few deep breaths and rethink this through please before you jump
ship. ((hugs))

It's a shame you would leave RB's over this Miss Sue and I think you are letting this get
to ya way too much! Trust me I have been there and I still am there at times because
there is stuff going on which I definitely dont like BUT that won't stop me from staying.
That's how YOU should be! You say on your blog that it's about us (the peeps who
are playing at 20.00 EST, 21.00 EST and 22.00 EST) but have you ever realized, as
previously stated by me on the BOTC blog, how much games there are in that time bracket?
Look over on Luvin at the League-games....they are all on that time or later even, The
Micros is at that time , Phenomenal KO's is at that time and I could go on.....
Now fast forward across the oceans to Europe and Australia also....I have no clue at what
the starting times are for Aussies but for me personally a 20.00 EST start is 2 AM, 21.00
EST is 3 AM, 22:00 EST is 4 AM...have you ever realized that? And YES I play at
these times (only in the weekend though) because I love the competition with my friends
but I won't do it on a weekday because of work and well I am not gonna let my health be
affected by playing poker through the night!!!! I mentioned the Aussies because I also
heard someone from Australia say she had to get up at 6.30 AM to play one of the
games....just saying!

We all have to go with the flow and play whatever we can and whenever we can and I think,
as again previously stated, Brian did a great job in creating a schedule that is
fair for everyone!

All that's left to say is is I guess reconsider your decision and whatever you
do.....huggers!

wtf half my post didnt get posted....

Im sorry you feel you have to leave rbs...but im sure its a combination of reasons....not
being able to host your tourney, family pressures, the BOTC...regular rb drama, a new rb
site...............and oh yeah the title of my blog ;)

I dont want you to leave because of me or some tournament schedule...I was told today that
4 Villains cant play at the 1pm time...thats almost have are active botc roster....and im
still behind keeping it at the 1pm time.


Lep

you know what sassy you are wrong about that blog....I did not put up that blog because of
you....I saw that on the news and thought it was funny...searched for it on utube and
wanted to post it on rbs....only when deciding on the title did I think of slo mo's
blog....because again it was a funny title, a tongue in cheek kinda title...and it was
relevant to rbs....

So again. the blog was not about you, it was about some guy breaking the world record for
burping.....lol...18 seconds worth of pure ugly disgusting decibels.

...and im sorry but the title fit....it is pretty much exactly how I felt about your rant
to slo-mo.

and im not gonna explain why I feel that way....because from reading that blog.....I can
tell there is no crevice sense can creep in....

No Sassy! Don't do it!
The scheduling conspiracy was perpetrated soley to prevent me from playing the in last two
games , period , and any other instances of collateral damage was mere circumstance! A
Thankless job? I think not ! I have personally thanked Brian numerous times! I even went
to his house and stood on his stoop to thank him in person! (He would only peek out from
behind the curtains and not answer the door)

And Curt ! You have a nice day and GL on the felts.

Come On Sue I just got back and now you're leaving? Please reconsider :) I can understand
your frustration but if I am not mistaken it is the last BOTC game until the new series
begins? When Slo.Mo puts up the new schedule just look it over closely and give your input
where needed. He really is a fair person as you and I have both known him ever since
railbirds opened their doors to us here. I understand clan battles can be very competitive
and all but when push comes to shove the bottom line is we are all friends here to some
extent. Please Please reconsider :)

I think all long time Rb'ers know you have always been a sweetheart Sue ... the very first
person to ever rail me in the OFC was the one and only sassysue :) ....... , I think you
do an awesome job railing and playing and supporting everyone , I do understand the botc
is a hard fought battle .... and it absolutely should be ..... it def brings out people's
emotions ... good , bad or otherwise .... and I certainly don't want you to leave over one
dispute over a simple misunderstanding of the schedule .... there were 9 fri night games
, 11 sat day games ... I think that's a
pretty fair division .... even though personally I'm a night person it has to fair for
all time zones not just mine ........


let me give you an example of what I mean , I have a home game club that has been running
since Jan of 2011 ,
I started a POTM trophy a while back for it , I live in Az where the time never changes
.... so in the fall when the games are at 22:00 my time I won the POTM 3 months in a row
... in the spring and summer it's actually an hour earlier for me even though the time
never changes for anyone else so it's harder for me to make games
..... now can you imagine how the people in my club would feel if I just suddenly decided
to make
the games at a time that suits me personally when the games are already set up .. .....
I just don't think it's fair to anyone to change the agreed upon schedule at the last
minute ,


for every person who wants one idea there is someone else who wants the exact opposite
idea ... so there is just no way to please e1 at the same time .. Brian is going to be
creating a botc page .... hopefully that will clear up any further misunderstandings in
the future , huggers hun :)

well said curt
no way you can please all
and as you said sassy you played 19 games
some would be really please
i honestly dont know with all due respect why youre making such a big issue about this
especially that all saturdays games have been 13-14 or 15 eastern wich sucks for me
but it is IMPOSSIBLE to please all

I feel Slo-mo has addressed the schedule issue not just adequately, but ad nauseam.
Further, he is doing a thankless job, one I've seen from the inside myself, and doing it
well. Nothing should change with one game left, nothing would be fair about that. I
believe he listened to your argument, but rightly so, changing now is not in the best
interest of "fairness".

He has been open to input before each series, as one would expect, but has held steady
during the season. I don't think it would go any smoother if anyone else were doing it, so
we should all be thankful that he picked it up.

Just like the TOC, when we lost something because of changes in the landscape, it is only
because someone is willing to pick up the pieces and carry it forward, often in the face
of often harsh criticism. I am happy that we have this series and I feel fortunate to have
a chance to represent my clan in the games.

I also know how you feel about the other blog, essentially knocking you for raising an
issue. It really is in poor taste, and disrespectful. I know he meant it laughingly, but I
also don't think it does anything to promote community.

it's still pretty harsh around the nest, so much easier to attack each other than have
civil discussions. It will probably never be the same as it was a couple of years ago. I
miss those days, hopefully we will find that community vibe once again.

I never made anything about right or wrong. All I did was try to explain to you that it
would be more unfair to change it, when others have been making arrangements around the
schedule. That is looking at it from the fair and unfair perspective, not right or wrong.

Up until last weeks game EVERY set of games went Fri/Sat, last week was the first week
there was no Friday game, so it is misleading to say that the last 5 games were scheduled
as early games.

As for my putting out a blog asking people what they feel, I'm sorry but I did that prior
to BOTC and took the feedback I got from that to make changes to this BOTC. I will again
put out a blog prior to the next BOTC to get feedback once again.

I understand your frustration and it doesn't fall on def ears, and I will try to make
improvements going into the next series.

I c no one is in a hurry to respond here. I will say first I have not went back and tried
to read up on this subject. I am just responding to this alone.

Anytime anyone feels something needs fixed and they post that, then they should also give
a solution. Maybe there is no good fix to suit everyone.
