Cancer Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 No, but beating them is difficult. We are training up a rookie keeper this season, and no one is more surprised than I am at how well we're doing despite that. Part of that is schedule; we are facing the killer robots only now, late in the season, so we're likely in for some regressing into the pack.

Cancer Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Cows of the World, Unite! face off evil robot team AAA. Odds are we end up as beef kabobs. Yup, lost 4-1. OTOH, we were the first team to score on them this season. And we just finished Week 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Well, they have a ... rules exploit ... at the peak of their ability at goalie. (We are in the process of developing one of those ourselves, but it's his rookie season and full power is a season or two out.) I have poured out invective-laced mathematically-informed arguments for a rule change to do away with these, but I decided if I can't beat 'em, I'll exploit 'em and gloat so ferociously maybe the rest of the league will come around to my point of view.

Cancer Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Well, there is a way to take them out, but it's costly, dooms your team forever, and is not guaranteed to correct the situation anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 As my little brother once told me, "If you're fighting fair, you just don't want to win bad enough." My Dad taught us four rules for fighting: 1. You do not fight. 2. You do not fight. 3. You do not fight. 4. If you do fight, you win.

Cancer Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 When you are a physically large person, everyone assumes that any fight you're in, you started. This provided strong disincentive towards fighting when my brother and I were growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
