Hattrick Gossip...

Do note that GM-George is also a member here, although I don't know how frequently he reads it.

As I said in the other thread, I agreed I wouldn't talk about it. Sorry.

 

I'm not so interested in the gossip, but very interested in seeing what happens with the player Gregory Green...

Hate to see that guy vanish, but there doesn't seem to be a way for him to be placed on the transfer list?...I read abit about this on the conf board....anyone else shed some light?

free gregory green!...

 

The only way that I think he can be saved, is if one of the national team coaches places him on the team, then he could be placed on the transfer list, because GM's can do that for players that play for the nats. So since we have the nats coach on here with us as well now, you can ask him what the situation is.

 

I HT-mailed AE about this earlier today. I think putting him on the full nats would be better than the U-20s since the U-20s are just starting the World Cup and can't really spare any extra roster spots.

 

Which other thread?

edit--the crimestoppers thread. I forgot for a minte I could search for craig p's other posts.

 

The problem with Green is this: If we wait to add him, it will be several weeks and he will have lost his advantage. But it's not worth it to hurt team spirit and call him up now -- we're going into the world cup and Green is an off-season pull so is actually more valuable for the national team than the U20's, who should be able to qualify with little trouble in three seasons without him.

 

Let's just look at it as if he got a fluke +5 injury that derailed his nats career (read that analogy on the HT forum). I don't think there's anything that can be done to fix the situation.

The USA nats will survive. Long enough for several coaches to get burned at the stake, at least.

 

Yeah I'm sure the Nat and U-20s won't have a big problem or die. However I would be interested to see him get called up anyways in order to save the excellent/excellent stat.

 

The way I see it, we(the Siths) own this place. So talk away.

 

Hey I saw the Star Wars :Revenge of the Sith trailor so I'm gearing up.

 

I added Kimble tonight. So, if Green's going to be added, it will have to be with the U-20 team.

While nivy and I haven't directly talked about Green's status, we did talk about Kimble's, and nivy felt it was important to add Kimble. Therefore, I don't think nivy believes I'm holding him over a barrel here. Perhaps a small pothole, but definitely not a barrel.

 

So if Gregory Green is freed does that mean Homer Simpson will be freed?

 

If he frees Green, I'll almost feel obligated to free Homer.

 

If you free Homer then you will never, ever have to pay for supporter. People will love you forever. And you could get reelected.

 

We need a Hall of Fame for players like Homer.

 

Especially since he's the only player to eat donuts and drink Duff Beer on Hattrick .

 

I have no useful alternative, but is there a better way to handle this sort of thing than having a big red "WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS!" message at the top of the conference seems counterproductive. Seemed like it was the same deal with the guy who made all the logos, and even Center City Gooners. I'm glad they're catching cheaters, and I understand that they don't want to describe HOW they were cheating in case struggling D3 teams in their tenth season get tempted (cough), but the "Don't think about a pink rhinoceros!" factor seriously kicks in at some point.

 

Let me just say that knowing what I know about the reason for the lockdown, I fully understand why George felt compelled to post that message. The warning was entirely appropriate, and I'm sure they felt that they could not in good conscience say nothing and see a naive user possibly get burned.

The Dersatz thing is unprecedented because it involves booting somebody who had started running a very significant offsite forum for the U.S. The others (er, not sure about Center City Gooners, that's before my time) have always come up when the player who was banned takes advantage of another outlet and (rightly or wrongly) tries to get some sympathy for how they've been ill-used. When it comes up in conferences, the threads get closed down, but they don't have the big sticky calling attention to them that Dersatz has.
