Go to Post It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. - Cory [more]

Ok, I want to kill this one for the last time. I'm not going to explain it again.

WE WERE NOT THROWING A MATCH TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR FINALS.

Our partner was dead from the getgo, they told us in the pit's their tranny was shot and they couldn't move. Since the other teams were both goal handlers and we can't handle goals for beans, we knew we would lose no matter what we did.

So we made the best of the situation.

We talked to the other teams and told them: you are going to win. We know it, you know it. But, if you let us play balls we can run up our score (95's) so you get 3 times 40 instead of 3 times 20 or what ever it would have been. They get 3 times our score, and we get our score. Both sides won, they just happend to win 3 times as much as us.

WE WERE NOT THROWING A MATCH TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR FINALS.

I can't say that enough. All we wanted to do was maximize our qpoints and that of our partner. So we told everyone to just let us play all the balls we could and have some fun and not kill each other. It is a perfectly valid strategy. If you had bothered to think about it, you would have been able to figure it out.

So please, stop saying we rigged the match, this isn't boxing for christs sake.

Thank you for clarifying my view on that.
