The regul8ors-Smoking Cues match

Yeah there were other matches, easy to forget them. BNR won game 7 on an early 8 and cowboy didn't seem to care for a re-rack even if they were going to offer one, EZ8 almost let one slip away down 3-2 to NewCastle but pulled it together enough to tie in the AL Atlantic, with a 4-3 win. Put of course, the big match everybody seems to be worried about...

Regul8ors Smoking Cues. "I would like to the Admins to answer why ppl are allowed to say whatever they feel like it and nothing gets done about it...I joined this league when it 1st started and was SC's 1st captain to bring some fun for my league... not to have ppl sexually harassed and cussed out... some ppl this you can cuss someone out ...come back and say sorry and nothing is done...if you have UMPS at the games...have them do more than check lineups PLZ" There's hustlerette's post from 2 weeks ago pertaining to the PoolHustlers match. "Yes I know we have spoken about it later.. BUT what are the penalties for these ppl... po_cowboy got a 7 day box for not reporting... to me this is MUCH worse... just telling them not to do it again is not enough" Just telling them not to do it again is not enough...heh, Hey kettle my name's pot has anyone ever told you you're really black? So here they come in, after already getting away with complaining about PH's safeties 2 weeks ago. Hell I even let it continue for a few lines tonight before I told a member of their league, and a couple of the SC's playing, to stop, and that nobody was interested in the opinions of people against safeties during the match. Hustlerette closes it by saying "even though it will get you knifed in a pool room" It's those little lines people throw in, when they want to have the last word. So later, as in maybe 3 shots later, the non-playing member laughed, and he got booted. Burnban also said he seconds what korn was laughing about, but I knew he was playing so I didn't want to screw up their lineup. Then someone, forgetting who, asked if it's unsportsmanlike to laugh. I replied with "when I know what you're laughing about yes" and it seems they were too ignorant, thick-skulled, insert more descriptive phrases here, to understand it. They were complaining about safeties and were told to stop, robbie plays a safety, NOBODY cracked any kind of joke at the table, nothing funny was going on in the lobby, korn was laughing at the safety and when I told him I knew exactly what he was laughing about, HE EVEN CONFESSED to laughing about it. Something that "omfg" trashbag didn't realize in the Shoutbox obviously when she said I didn't know what he was laughing at. Oops? When I know you're laughing to be unsportsmanlike, and in 3+ years of Interleague experience (I've sat through PIT tourneys with BeerBallers remember) I know how to pick out those little moments of ignorance. And it didn't hurt that the guy then admitted to it. But all of a sudden I'm the criminal after trying to explain it to them. Apparently it was "how" I said it...I can be nice about something but that usually means it continues. If you just get straight to the point about it, obviously they know you mean business, if they're competent at all. Looking back at those 2 forum posts I pasted from hustlerette, I find it funny as hell she was bitching about how I handled the situation. Supposedly they all quit MLP, damn there goes your Wildcard race folks :

Also on a side-note, next week I plan to record the entire Pool Outlaws match since obviously PM won't lose next week, they've got the now-gone Smoking Cues. An Outlaws win against ElitePool would clinch the NL Mountain. (They have a forfeit win against TRP coming up, even if PM won they'd be 3.0 games out with 3 matches to play, and Outlaws would lead the head-to-head) So, Outlaws looking to clinch it next week against ElitePool. I'll try and record the match and contrary to all those false promises of uploads, I certainly plan to have this one :
