Tuesday Night

Poolhustlers stuck in a 3-3 situation...If Theike didn't play game 7, who did? You may be surprised. LuckyPool with ANOTHER 5-2 match, did they win or lose this one? And on the week of PFN Captain Mick's birthday, he played game 7, against a really good team, lost, but PFN won? Wait...And it wasn't even a match? I'll just say something's not right here.

PoolFiction @ DreamPool - DreamPool and PFN, exactly identical records...lol that ain't gonna last long. Game 1 a7x_mark against Shayne93, his first game back after being flagged for ineligibility 2 weeks ago, about 5 minutes before a ball is potted, yeah, long safety battle. Down to 3 stripes, Mark passes up the somewhat difficult combo, gets zilcho on the leave, and now we're goin back to basics. Later on after Mark undershot on another safety attempt, Shayne goin to work...Except he oughtta be fired. Gets to the 8, uses what seems like just enough power to pot the ball, and uh...well it rattled. So, no good. mark goes on to win, 1-0 PFN. New game same stuff, Except after a few minutes, DP's Siccnasty with the miss, and PoolFiction has this guy you may have heard of him, his name's british_pool_wizard...And he means business, there were 8 balls potted all game, Jase was stripes, and the only balls left? Solids. Yeah, 6 stripes on this trip, plus the 8, and you got yourself a 2-0 PFN lead. Next up on the menu, you got a guy who goes into a match, involved or not, without a care...(DP's bokey_hata) and a kid who just hates people running their mouths...Yeah that's me, hello there won't you be my neighbor? There would be 1 ball potted, all game, by me. Between the both of us, 1 ball, all safeties after that. So who won? Me, by timer, way to win, I'm so good. 3-0 PFN I don't wanna spoil myself, ump by the way using that rounding minutes crap, bokey didn't return though. Jammy against impressive_tyrant, it's 3-0...Now DP has been here before...and they won. Yeah, pfft, against BritPool. First 4 balls were tyrant's stripes, misses about the same combo Mark passed up earlier, and jammy...criticized for shot selection last week...he'll get some criticism this week too, something like..."NICE SHOOTING". 8 balls, 8 shots, that equals a win in 99.999% of instances. PFN up 4-0, match over, that's when I got bored and watched PM-PH. But while I wasn't looking, _soapbox_, yeah he won. Jeremy_Doyle2002, he's good too y'know, and he won...it's like...6-0 here what happened I thought these guys were division co-leaders, err...former, co-leaders. Game 7, the Birthday Boy against Super_Mario_64_, Mick to the 8, it's a fairly long shot... oi. Missed. MICK THAT COULD'VE BEEN 3-3 YOU FOOL! :( Lucky guy, but Super Mario finishes easily, gives the jolly old fella his first loss of the season, Mick said later his long shots lately weren't going...Practice, practice. Despite the choke, PoolFiction smokes, dominates, slaps, spanks, whips, houses, wait haven't I used most of these words before? OK, well they just win huge let's just... Try to be nice for a moment, and they get the outright lead in the Central, and now are outright the best team in the AL...What's new? DreamPool 3-1, 15/13, they were 14/7. OK I'll stop picking on 'em, because something else happened. In jack.boss' game, you know he's got uh...issues lately, probably don't wanna piss him off, former EP captain FLIPMODE_M told him to stick to play-money poker...Truth is, he plays for real money. Recap: Jack plays for DP, FLIP for Regs, the match is PFN-DP...That means uh...Shut up? Admins met tonight, stupid me forgot to have them talk about this issue, next time, I'll do what I can to make sure it's at least mentioned, people need to stop causing trouble when they're not in a match. I'm trying to be nice, so let me recommend asking Denis Leary his opinion of fat people, you'll get my opinion of people like the above-mentioned.

PoolHustlers @ PoolMasters - Apparently an all-run beginning. Theike YM'ed me earlier during PFN-DP saying he had 11 players...Well it's 3-3 in game 7, and those extra must have left or something. =\ l_hotandwild_l playing game 7...Guy's played like 2 games this millennium. He would be against CRAZY_QUE, I was paying slightly more attention to college hoops, come on it's Championship Week do ya blame me? But...Cory lost, CRAZY won, when Theike gets on I'll ask why exactly Cory played...when he's been around pool lately less than the amount of time Leon was a cop in Raccoon City, that's a grand total, depending on how good you are at Resident Evil 2, of about 2-3 hours, if you're as great as me =) PM wins 4-3, PH's game 7 woes just continue...Luckydog didn't play, PM unwilling to release him HOWEVER, that admin meeting unlike some interleagues, actually came out with great news. A new rule allowing players whose captains will not release them because, well we all know PM just loves Luckydog so much, well...This rule states that if a captain is unwilling to release a player who has permission from an admin and other captain, well there will be a 2-week period where they cannot play MLP events AT ALL, then they can switch freely. Masters of course, according to Luckydog, not happy with him because of this new league he's involved with, myleague.com/PoolLegends, cya next season, guys check it out. Lucky says he's not worried about the 2-week waiting period, because hey, his girlfriend's visiting for spring break this weekend anyways. If you're gonna miss the tour, may as well make it worth it. Therefore I gotta pick on someone else who goes deep in the cam jump.

LuckyPool @ PoolPimps - LuckyPool going into this match, 5-2 results, 3 matches, 2 wins, actually 1, because they have agreed after some convincing to play EZ8's replacement league...Drumroll please....Bearskin Eightballers. Yep, well-run, well-behaved, no history of causing a ton of ignorant trouble, don't you wish all leagues were that nice? By the way they were season 2 sportsmanship award winners...and they don't brag about it because...that's not what good sports do. Now, back to this match, jaggedneedle started it all off, with a win over Germz69, then Lucky_Snake beat lvlr_ce0...2-0 LuckyPool. Game 3? g0dly_adam beats LKP's Sticky_Green but whoa hold the phone, g0dly_adam not found in PLP, later when his name was changed...it was found he was unranked so he's DQed on 2 fronts, 3-0 LuckyPool. Bassist_4life finally got a legitimate win, something BeerBallers are looking to do this week, but #1 in LuckyPool xllx_owner_xllx, #1 in LKP's hearts and mine, BEAT THE YANKEE CHIC! And it also clinched the win. They would later go on to win 5-2, Jenn lost, Big_Game won, so did UConn. Another 5-2 for LuckyPool, except they remain 2-1 until they play Bearskins, that's assuming this whole issue with them coming back to MLP is finalized. Pimps have not had a winning or losing streak yet. Naturally, simple arithmetic tells you they're 2-2.

Also, SuperbPool's jivemaster: GO TARHEELS! :D


Tuesday Picks

PoolFiction @ DreamPool - On one side, 3-0, 14/7, 2-0 home, 1-0 away...The other side? Well, the same. Last week DreamPool showed an example of what clutch means. Down 0-3 and they win it 4-3. You can expect DreamPool to be even better this week, and that's what PoolFiction has to understand. Everyone knows Mick has game 7, and he may get caught in another decider. This is one of those one break may decide it all matches, but I have to side with PoolFiction on this one 4-3. But then, I'm playing so...Don't be surprised if DP wins it.

PoolMasters @ PoolHustlers - With the reaction PM had to LuckyDog starting a league, oh just imagine how many of them want blood if Rocky_Ireland plays tonight for PH. Theike got a much-needed clutch win last week, and PH has also picked up Joe, that's neme for the uninformed, I still don't want Theike in game 7 if I'm PH, but he could easily up it to somewhere between games 3 and 6, who do I want game 7? Krunal or Adnan. They're clearly better options on that team, but that's Theike's call. This may very well also be, if Luckydog plays, his last match as a PM. There's a high chance he could end up with the regul8ors, by the end of the week. Masters also took a harsh loss last week, when you consider Jimvan had his game won especially after the little glitch. Then he left the bank, SecretAgent killed him. So, the biggest question is can they rebound from that kind of loss? Also if Lucky plays, will he be in a good mood about it? I like PH in this one, and while on paper they should win 4-3, I just have this gut feeling it'll be something like 5-2.

LuckyPool @ PoolPimps - Don't really know enough about either team to make a solid pick, but I do know the Pimps FAIRLY beat the Regs with just 6 players. Yahoo an obvious factor, yes. But you know what I think about the reasons for losses. If you don't leave the chance to get yahooed, you likely won't. But, despite all that, I like LuckyPool in this match. They're playing much better than the last 2 seasons, and remember their loss was to PoolFighters, so let's not make a big deal. They also stuck with them, unlike Pimps when they got murdered by PoolMasters. They do have a pair of wins in a row however, but I'm gonna take LuckyPool to win 5-2.


Interview with Eddie (crypt6uardian)

Me(Osiris): Hello

Eddie: hey

Me: I got a few questions for you

Eddie: ok i got some time ask away

Me: ok

Me: Since no doubt i think you are the person i think woudl be the last person to use aimer how long have u been playing?

Eddie: Well been a while... I have only had lets see I have always used this id so its easy to check how many games i've played. Almost 4 years I would guess... could be a lil less.

Me: Where did you start playing pool?
Eddie: Tea for two I think where I joined my first pool league Gangters pool paradise... could be off on the name... Shortly though most of us went over to Black&Silver which to us was the big leagues compared to GPP.

Me: So starting playing at BlackSilver, now being admin how do u feel.

Eddie: Roller coaster ride... Im not admin anymore in BS and my good bud is now the new Interleague representative for BS. Overall its been great and its home to me. I love to play and do well but somehow lately im getting caught up with organizing things and my game is slipping lol

Me: Well winning mlp cam jump last week i would not say its sleeping away and you being a good player before camtasia was probably called a aimer how do u feel about camtasia now that most people know who you are?

Eddie: Camtasia is great i think it can only help. Im pretty well known i think cause i play a lot. Hopefully my reputation is not that bad. I got called aimer a lot as u said... as a lot of good players did. I showed a few ppl some tricks that made them play some shots that ppl might have called aimer shots. Its about knowledge and what you have learnt that make your game what it is.

Me: who is your biggst rival in bs and in all interleague

Eddie: In BS... thats a good question... see some of the best players never played interleague... Cant think of a name thats stands out right now sorry..... Maybe cause i dont view my fellow lg players as rivals lol

Me: lol I remeber when i joined bs 4 interlegaues bs was freakin dead and i know i got some good players on our team last year how do u feel now that you have lots of people for team and now that bs is 1 of the most active league?

Eddie: Its great... I pity Lisa though cause she can really shoot well and have improved but she never plays herself cause she got 15 ppl who want to play.

Me: And as i know lisa she is always willign to give her spot

Me: How do you feel about bs this season beacuse of all the losing?

Eddie: Well i've thought about it and i think its cause ppl are trying to hard. Our matches can go either way so if ppl get back to having fun i think we will win more. Im ok with it we will survive and also this helps us get rid of ppl that are not loyal.

Me: True how do you think blacksilver will do this season

Eddie: Since top 4 go to playoffs I think we still have a shot... depending on what the AF does... if they started messing up bad we could still go for Division

Eddie: We kinda never give up... thats our thing

Me: now that you have your own interleague (www.myleague.com/sipc for people who dont know, Join now) do you feel more busy, less interested in other interleague


Eddie : Yeah im more passionate about SIPC at the moment cause i have this picture of what it can be. Its gonna be great if ppl go with a open mind. We have done well too with lots of members joining. I work on it non stop and its one of the reasons im not going to be handling interleague issues for BS anymore. We are just about to start our 1st season and then ppl can start buying and selling butts!

Me : kool ok well thank you anything to add?
Eddie : Nah im good... feel free to add swearing ect to spice it up
shit,piss,fuck,kunt,mother fucker,twat,turd,bitch

Another "What Would You Do?" Poll...

Due to what appears to be problems in their league, EZ8Pool has withdrawn abruptly from MLP. Stunning news? Well yeah, when you consider as long as I can remember they're the first league with a winning record to withdraw during the regular season. Now, I've personally been cheering for redhot's BNR team to get into the playoffs in what's likely his last season as captain...Well EZ8 and BNR are in the same division, and they haven't met yet...Great news right? Not exactly...IndianPool has offered to take EZ8Pool's place, and they're not concerned about make-up games. Yes that's the same indianpool whose head admin is veeeeery legit...Only been caught with aimer once or twice, I'm sure he deserves a sec..er..3rd chance? Well, that's for the admins to decide. Surely the 2 wins EZ8 has won't be reversed if there's no repeat...Otherwise they'd almost have to reverse BNR's loss to the BeerBallers. But, if a replacement league came in, didn't worry about make-up games, do you start them with EZ8's 2-1 record? Or do you give them 0-0 and play 12 weeks?

So, you've got a huge variety of options. I won't list them all I'll simply ask, if you're the one who has to make the big decision on what to do with EZ8's spot, what would you do?


Monday Results

LPL went up 3-0...And sent BritPool wayyyyy across the pond. AbsoluteFinest and BlackSilver go to 7, who wanted it? HotShotz, they were hot...and a match I didn't watch thanks to AF-BS, which shakey team won? EP, or 8BR?

LPL @ BritPool - LPL began this match with just 5 players...1 of them new in MLP, not so new in LPL yes that's miller30time only you long-time LPLers know him. But this one? It's all about the LPL, baby...Moe, messes up power, laughs at the fact he doesn't get a rerack, steals a win over forest, LPL up 1-0...Rizken, the only returning LPL player from last season in that original 5, yep he won. Capturedchaos for BritPool against rufferman, tries to play a safety by potting one of Ruff's solids...Kid wouldn't touch the stick again except to put it back on the wall he got it from. As stated above, 3-0. They still have 5 at this point, win 2 and you win it BritPool. River_blake in a battle with that miller guy and by now...the two others for LPL showed up, king vaughan and skips, yeah skips, name look familiar? Back to game 4 here, miller with the wrong english on a hit attempt, and blake just don't mess these easy runs up. 3-1 comeback time. Next game, king_vaughan, he's from over there in Europe, but with LPL, against slavko, 2 of slav's solids would fall, but then after a bit of work, 7 stripes and a little black ball, LPL doesn't blow the 3-0 lead, they go up 4-1, and skips...he won, and romper, you know he plays for BritPool in another interleague, well he just helped bury the guys. LPL blows them out of the Atlantic, 6-1. Just to recap that's 10 losses in 2 matches for BritPool, winless after their slashing of 8BallRunners. LPL? Despite Tim being an overall ass at the match, they even up everything. 2-2, 1-1 both home and away, half-game behind the Outlaws and Unitedpool who meet this week, and MadSkillz who have a weekend date with the StraightShots. Other notes: Joker_69696: DNP (basketball) xlx_ogges_xlx: DNP (Vacation) Both LPL.

HotShotz @ Breakers Alley - Jump around the board here, one of the 2 matches I didn't watch a shred of, but there was some shredding in this one. 5-2 HotShotz winners, according to the order of reports it was close early, 2-2 until the Shotz just got hot, took the final 3, breakers alley 1-3, they would be tied for dead last in the Mountain if BlackSilver could finally win one.

8BallRunners @ ElitePool - But first, just a quickie report for ya, more of that 2-2, 1-3 stuff. 8BR falls to 1-3 with their 4-3 loss, while ElitePool stays level with LPL at deuces, problem is EP would win the tiebreaker of course due to head to head. Little more motivation for the Loungers to try a little harder huh? More quality 6-1 wins would work.

AbsoluteFinest @ BlackSilver - Oh the top vs. the bottom, 3-0, 0-3, pick up the action at the end of game 1. x_total_x that's the newbie for AbsoluteFinest, he's against Fox_Fire, Austen (total) leaves a little extra room for the Fox, and he goes to work. All he did was simply take his time, make smart shots, didn't really make any mistakes, including the nice triple-stripe combo shot to the top right. Austen, a safety player, complained about the length of the game...while others, a couple, began to laugh a little at BlackSilver supporting their teammate on each shot. Respect gets lost very easily doesn't it, but I won't mention "aimernation"'s name...Whoops. Moving right along, RvDBLADE against richm...that's Tooth, yet to win on this rich name...and let's just fast forward through this long boring safety battle. Rich on the 8, gotta cut it just a tad, nope that's a miss. RvD would spend 4 and a half minutes on this bank, no line from the 5ball, off the left rail to bottom right...Noone says anything, actually Blade was gone for 2 minutes, something else to tend to, comes back, shot...Draino. Your shot of the night, simply because I can do that. I have those powers you know. Tied 1-1 after the 8 goes without trouble. College bball night so you know obviously I wasn't watching each game in great detail, and I did have YM windows up half the time, but I can say SmokeKenny, whose name is not Kenny, well he sqeuaked out a win over BS' slam n pray. AF's GoodByeSaysItAll, hey that's a song by Blackhawk...he's against ms_c0ngeniality, and YouLoseSaysItAll in this case. Lara choked on the cakewalk 8, 3-1 AbsoluteFinest. But hey, game 5, Eddie's up and they need a comeback. Eddie's up and they're starting one. tales from the crypt6uardian, chapter 5: The run. 3-2 AF's lead cut to 1. X_Monkey against fire_wolf, the most imporved BS player between seasons in my opinion. He picks up the win, but not without incident. He got ball in hand, said "i have bih?" And even though noone answered before he moved the ball, SmokeKenny starting whining about coaching. Poor thing, tied 3-3. By now I was helping resolve a little cam tape problem with RvDBLADE, so I didn't catch 1 single shot of game 7. I can tell you derekgnr beat black_gary_silver, and AbsoluteFinest stay unbeaten, BlackSilver stays...JUST FOR YOU former GodlySPN guys! Unbeated. =D

On one little side-note...IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE MATCH SHUT UP AND SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT! Idiots -_- There was more news, post coming.
