Moderator: Palmtana

Is there a 100 Win (give or take) curse in the game?

Absolutely, it's bitten me in the ass many times!

Based on feedback, I need to make clear this was 100% satire in case that was not obvious :O
Sorry my sarc sometimes goes unhinged

My 100 win teams here since 2003 across 121 teams total are 2-8 for championships. But it was always when I had more than a few teams playing. So there you have it. Confirmation. My punishment.

And don't say God doesn't exist because that isn't proof he doesn't, nor that he isn't doing this. Especially if you don't believe in God.

Thus why I only have played 121 teams.
Granted, it is a pretty good rate of 100-win teams against only 121 played, but they always seemed to be strong in their own division. Not sure why he picked 100 wins as a threshold but he has his reasons I am sure.

How he has the time or the worry to individually pay attention to me when I play too much strat online, among all the other billions of people and circumstances in the world, like wars, rapes, murders etc, is a mystery of my faith.

Great stuff. I am glad most of this community is too smart to fall for such a silly conspiracy theory. And like others pointed out, how would they even program for that? Some great satire here from Frankie and others.

Nice chime in, Frankie, we're on the same wavelength. :)

If there is a bias toward longtime owners, the algorithm dark masters left me me out, at least recently. Won 5 titles in my last 7 teams (wish one of them coulda been my most recent Barnstormers team, which stunk, but oh well, maybe a conspiracy against me? :shock: ). Just kidding! Like they say, you're not paranoid if they're really out to get YOU. One thing I've always believed is that people believe what they want to believe -- you see this all around you all the time.

As someone has probably already surely pointed out in this thread (too tired to look all the way back) just consider the teams making the MLB World Series. The Diamondbacks actually had a negative run differential for the season. 100 win teams like ATL, BALT and LA not represented in the the real life World Series.

So it goes ...

hey Franke...I know you went over to OOTP, well so did I to try it out. Just had a 106 win team and never made it to the championship game. Got through the second round but that was it. The CURSE is every where.
