There is a list of things more annoying than internet spelling policemen.

Its not a long one, though.

^^I'm sure Pacers fans is on there, allowing me to crack the list twice. Insufferable douchebags, too? That's three.

I wouldn't bother if the person just generally doesn't care, but you took the time to capitalize, punctuate, and spell correctly, save for the one extra letter, so I was showing that I care the only way I know how. By being an insufferable Pacers fan.

Voting over my precisely constructed team a bunch which needs like 150 shots a game and doesn't even have real writeup? OK, r0cd0gg...

I'm a little bit intrigued as to why you wouldn't want to post a write up. Not that I'm involved, but there should be means in which to help posters with future write ups.

On Gremz' point: agreed...at least should be a sentence or two. Something like "I don't think Moncrief can slow Jordan down, and with Zo locking down the paint, x person's slashers are going to have a hard time scoring" or something. Not really my place though, and I got roc's vote, so meh

On Myth: I'm not getting into who I would vote for, I'm not a judge, but there's certainly an argument to be had for his team.

The scary thing is how much MORE of an argument there would be if he'd taken someone other than Nique.

I fully agree.

On Myth: I'm not getting into who I would vote for, I'm not a judge, but there's certainly an argument to be had for his team.

It's hard to find any ATL team in case of which you can say otherwise - but the problem is neither our judge nor my opponent (what is particularly infuriating) really presented such argument, unlike in case of my team. Should laziness be rewarded? Should I possibly end my participation reading that Bruh's team was better just because... he was better?
Not to mention that all previous ATLs confirm my thesis that collecting too much offense-only talent ends with disaster in eyes of judges. Did the game of basketball change in meantime?

The scary thing is how much MORE of an argument there would be if he'd taken someone other than Nique.

But Bruh did take Nique, otherwise with defensive minded, long-range shooting SF his lineup would be far better construed.

I agreed to judge if I didn't have to spend time writing, plain and simple.

Its a bit of a let down after the time and effort put in by the participants in this if you can't even trouble yourself to write a sentence or two for each one.

Actually, its kind of a slap in the face, particularly with your "it ain't happening" preface.
