Moe's Allstar Fact or Fiction

Make a long story short. I am not going to make this long like Cubby. Fact everybody on allstar team is Fact. No doubt about it. People got to choose FACT - Captains chose FACT - Admins chose FACT.

All had to do with public choosing. I could care less who thinks who deserves what or who should get this BLA BLA. Cry me a river. Everyone on allstar team. A pat on the back Congratulations! Great Job. Those who think they should of made it and are pouting, Cry me a River . (I'll even do you the dance on Cam)... Congrats to everyone who made it, and next season should be better to those who didn't. Goodluck on the tables. And goodluck all allstars! Represent!


Fiction - I'm not trying to bust on Cubby or Dan but the fact of fiction is wrong. It hurts those who have Fiction tagged on their name, how would you feel if it was you. But whatever, that's my standpoint. Wtg all!




C y'all. Until next time ....

Fact Or Fiction

I got beef with some picks, some are just bone headed.


Atlantic


BP_Slavko-- FICTION, skips_97_civic is their most talented player and has done better then Slavko this season, also beat Marty this season...so yeah, I'd pick skips in a heart beat, even though slavko is a good player.

ckp_Rob-- FICTION, Rob may be a great guy and terrific captain, but give me clever_calm_craig who is 4-2 this season, has gotten ckp clutch wins and to me is their most skilled player.


EZ8_l3illyl2asta-- FACT, he has been an automatic win basically every week for Ez8, is their "MVP" this season well because Ray barely played. Billy is a very deserving of this all-star spot.


MZ_king_hustler2004-- FACT, hands down their most valuable player so far, has clinched many matches for them and is I believe still undefeated.


PLP_scorpe0n_khan-- FICTION, more off a toss up really but I'll take hit_the_ganja who is 3-0...khan was 1-0 through 8 weeks of play, hardly played any games...not many candidates from PLP, but I'll give ganja the spot.


SP_LadyAcid-- FICTION, Liz is a great player and a great sport, we're tight and all but there's a player by the name of TRU_55 who clearly deserves this spot, Liz barely played this season and is winless I believe so far, so I totally question the admins for this pick.


SS_dj_spir0-- FACT, along side JJ and Blake, he has been SS's best player...totally deserves this nomination.



Central


BA_Sweet_Dreams526-- FACT, BA's best player by a mile, totally agree with this selection.

HP_not_your_kitten69-- FACT, has only 1 loss I believe, has been playing great pool, is HP's top player no questions asked.

LPL_xlx_ogges_xlx-- FACT, not many players has done well for LPL this season but ogges has done some damage and I support this pick.

nc_xx_romper_xx-- FACT, Has been the only bright spot for NC this season, has won on a consistant basis this season, is one of the very best players in MLP through 10 weeks.


pf_Trouble4Some-- FACT, Tyler has been great all season long, no need to explain to why I agree with this selection.

pfn_zame.kong-- FACT, Joe, Zame and Marty have been for pfn what Tyler, Danny and Luis have been for pf...personally I would have liked to see those 6 make it because they all deserve it but unfortanetly Marty will have to miss our...can't say I'd take Marty over Zame, because Zame has been superb and made an amazing shot vs SS, one of the best shots this season.


pfn_xlx_n_e_m_e_xlx-- I said picking up Joe would be huge for pfn, and look at here...he's been arguably their best player so far.



Mountain


bnr_kellyhero2003-- FICTION, badalnighter is my pick since it's their only player who is above the .500 mark.

bs_Tooth3215-- FACT, has been BS's top dawg so far this season, has played great and fully deserves the recognition!

LKP_Solid_Snake-- FICTION, Jenn deserves it more...she's 4-3 compare to Snakes 3-6 record...she's also a great captain, my pick is jenn without a doubt.

pm_uhuhnotcool-- FACT, Missy has been PM's best player, IMO, and if it's not admins pick...its the other two, either way she deserves to compete in the event.

PO__xX_Trained_Assasin_Xx_-- FACT, beside Paul...Chris has been PO's best player this season.

xp_angelofmercy-- FACT, the record aint good at all but XP has no other consistant player in their lineup now that partslady went to bbm. I know angel is one of xp's best players so I agree with that selection.

po_P_a_u_1-- FACT, PO's best player...enough said, best player in his division so far.


Pacific


bbm_x_Clogz_x-- FACT, can't argue with this selection, brian is undefeated so far, well deserved spot.

ep_xlx_scotter_xlx-- FACT, I mean he don't deserve it any more so then eat_sleep_pool or ReallyBigAssNergo...all three of them have played great pool, but I can't really argue against this selection...scotter has been playing great in MLP so far.


hs_Glenno-- FICTION, Ok...Glenno is a great admin, FACT....Glenno is a great spot, FACT....Glenno is a great guy...FACT....but how in the world does he make this team over VICIKE...a player who is 4-1...Glenno is 0-5...yes he didn't win a game yet this season and he makes it over a great player such as vickie, you know how I feel about this selection, complete joke.


ph__Renegade_-- FICTION, look above...lets take a moment of silence for Full_Blast because the kid was robbed HARDCORE, Theike might be PH's best player...but jesus, doesn't take a lot to see that Full_Blast has been PH's best player...I would take Don before Theike as well, sorry Theike, but you don't deserve this spot.


reg_Super_Rah-- FACT, tough decision, I mean Soccer_Chris, Rah and Jer all deserved this spot...Rah has had some terrible luck this season, missing TWO 8 easy 8 balls this season. Outside of that, he has played great.


UP_Mag_1c-- FACT, Either him or Ketan, UP's two best players this season.

EP_xlx_dios_xlx-- FACT, my pick for player of the year as of right now.



PEACE

All-Star Fact or Fiction

This is just my sorry excuse of an all-star post, looking at who the admins named for All-Star, and whether or not they were thinking.

Atlantic Division
BritPool: Slavko - Fact, BritPool doesn't have any marquee players, it would come down to either slavko or skips, it's just a toss-up.
CueKeepers: Rob_76 - This depends, if the captain of the all-star team is going to be an admin, then fact. Otherwise, Rob would make a lot better captain than anyone in the Atlantic, mainly because of how he has handled his team this season. If Rob were to be captain, then perhaps Brandi would be a nice admin choice for CueKeepers.
EZ8Pool: l3illyl2asta - Fact. He's been a near-guaranteed win all season, has what, 1 or 2 losses? I can't think of anyone who has been better, while playing as many games, as l3illy. Nice pick.
MadSkillz: King_hustler2004 - Obvious fact. Everybody knew if nobody voted for him the admins would. He has practically been lights out this season, no doubt here.
PoolPimps: sc0rpeo_khan - Well, it's either him, hit the ganja, or masterslope. Frankly it really didn't matter, PLP allstar was like BritPool's, so fact.
SuperbPool: Lady_Acid...BLATANT FICTION. More fiction than a Political Campaign. How many games has she won in MLP period? 3? 1 of them or maybe 2 during matches? TRU_55 would have been a MUCH better vote, I'm curious if this was a majority basis or just admins assigned to certain leagues and this one drew a random name.
StraightShots: Dj Spir0 - Well, blake and JJ were already selected, of course you gotta go with dj, forget the mistake last night, he's been right up there amongst the StraightShots' best players this season, hands down. Fact.

Central Division
Breakers Alley: Sweet_Dreams526 - Fact. She's been their best (and frankly only good) player this season. She's pretty much a shark in a teardrop really.
HappyPool: not_your_kitten69 - Fact. Throughout the season she has been surprisingly efficient for HappyPool, and has performed well in a few clutch situations. Why is HappyPool only 4-6? Blame the rest of the team.
Lava Pool Lounge: xlx_ogges_xlx - Fact. Do they really have anyone better? or hey for that matter, anyone who's consistent enough to make a better choice? Not really. Ogges is simply enough, the heart of LPL for these past few seasons. granted he's cursed, but he's the only LPL player really worth the vote.
NewCastle: xx_romper_xx - Fact, of course. Again romper has been, like I said before, Randy Johnson of an Arizona Diamondbacks team. The team can't even buy a win, but romper does his job almost every week.
PoolFighters: Trouble4some - Fact. When he came over from BlackSilver, PF players knew they were getting a winner, and boy has he been a winner, including a nice (although fortunate) big win over JJ last night, he's a great choice.
PoolFiction: zame.kong - Fiction. Cubby's better :D Nah, Fact. Zame has been their closer alongside marty, and zame has done his job very well. He's like Keith Foulke ain't that right Kenny? Good choice.

Mountain Division
Break and Run: kellyhero2003 - Fact. Again, it's pretty mucha team only winning very few matches, but certain players having ups and downs, and of course, when you go from a sportsmanship perspective, it's obvious if it possible, BNR would make up the entire division. But if I had to take 1 player, it'd either be kelly, or redhot, and since I like to talk down to red a lot :P I'd go with kelly =)
BlackSilver: Tooth3215 - Fact. He's been a really good player, and arguably the best they have, though more names may come to mind. But with average teams, you tend to see average players. Tooth is, in my eyes, the best B&S pick.
LuckyPool: Solid_Snake_ - Fact. There are not a lot of standout players in LuckyPool, Jenn has done well to give the actual league members a chance to play (and LKP has more wins now than they did before Jenn took over) but among those players, Snake has been really the only consistent one.
PoolMasters: uhhuhnotcool - Fact. PoolMasters were a tough league to choose from, they had so many equal players, and really 3 of them could've been all-stars, like crazy_que. But all in all, the decision to go with notcool is respectable.
Pool Outlaws: _xX_Trained_Assassin_Xx_ (Gods Comeback Kid) - Fact. Ain't gonna be cowboy, and Chris, Paul, and Jamie are the best the Outlaws have now, and the other 2 have already been voted in. James would've been an OK pick, but he hasn't been around a lot lately, and likely won't be for all-star week. So the decision to go with Chris: Good.
XPool: Angelofmercy0 - Fact. XPool simply doesn't have anyone better. Partslady was an efficient player, but she's now with BeerBallers, for whatever reason. Oh well, angel is simply the only logical choice here.

Pacific Division
BeerBallMasters: x_clogz_x - Fact. For a few reasons: A - He's really, really, great when it comes to getting wins. B: You don't want Daru because the All-Star games would last until the NL Championship game. And C: Who wants a Yankee fan like Kenny? lolol. Kenny actually would've made a fairly good selection too, but clogz has been very efficient.
ElitePool: xlx_scotter_xlx - Take your pick, scotter or reallybigassnegro. Both have been very effective in ElitePool's matches. I say: Fact. The admins had to choose someone, it was basically a coin flip. Scotter won.
HotShotz: Glenno - Fiction, I got one word: vickie. Glenno's a good admin, that's as far as it goes.
PoolHustlers: _Renegade_ - ......Fiction and I wanna know who voted for him PLEASE. He's a nice guy, done a good job improving the attitude of his team this season, but it goes on how well you can actually play. Name a player on PH who plays every week and they likely would've been a better choice. Someone like don (though he did get boxed this season) or hey, at least give Full_Blast some recognition. You start to wonder how long they talked about these votes.
Regul8ors: Super_RAH - Fact. Dan was the captain's pick. Damn, had to make the admins think about this one. Tough decision for the admins, but I believe they made the right one.
UnitedPool: mag_1c - Fact. but only because he's really the only possible choice for UnitedPool.
