ham raises the issue:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> BZ, it would be even better if not for the edited plays.
This is not acceptable in a contest <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
RPM responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> ham brought up a good point.
FROM NOW ON THERE WILL BE NO EDITING OF PICKS ALLOWED. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
J MAN backs TEAM RR:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> from now on? Why allow anyway RPM? it looks like team RR has a case.. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
raiders makes an inquiry:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> How many days did they edit and who edited? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
RPM responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> the time stamp on the edit(s) was well before game time. it is not a past posted play.
there is no way to tell what the reason for the edit was.
and since this was never addressed, im not going to change anything from the past. we will move forward from here.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
raiders responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>So you post an overnight play and suddenly don't like the line in the morning so you change your pick. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
rpm responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> raiders, can you prove that is what happened? i cant, therefore as i said, we have the rule in place now and will move forward from here <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Here's an overnight play. Why was it changed in the morning?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
RPM responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> posted June 02, 2003 02:15 AM
i dont know why. maybe he forgot to post what book the line was available at.
like i said, we just move forward from here.
that is of course unless you guys are going to call it quits since you are losing. imo, that is what this is all about. rubber room is losing and looking for an edge to get ahead.
i gave the rubber room the call one the one minute thing. im not going to change grading based on this.

raiders responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> So the baseball forum first tries to past post. Then they post all six plays and after 5 games start decide to change plays. Now they are allowed to edit four overnight plays and change them to morning line plays. Next time tell us the advantages that you are going to give the baseball forum before we start.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
RPM responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>raiders,
i will address your little complaints one at a time.
baseball forum past post:
game started at 2:05, post was made 2:06. the play didnt count. no advantage there.
post all six plays and after 5 games start decide to change plays.:
not how it happened at all and you know it. one of the baseball forum players didnt show up all day with his plays so one of the other guys posted, :these will be the other two plays if mc doesnt show up and post his own plays". IT WAS YOUR IDEA TO NOT MAKE EVERYONE POST THEIR OWN STUFF. NO ADVANTAGE THERE.
edit four overnight plays and change them to morning line plays:
YOU NOR I nor anyone else can prove that is what happened. and even if we could, there was never a rule about doing that. NO ADVANTAGE THERE.
sorry but your excuses for why you are LOSING dont hold water pal.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
raiders responds:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> It's my job as one of the three spokesman for the RR in this contest to make sure we don't get screwed. It looks like we are getting the shaft in the edited plays. My guess would be the baseball forum is taking the best line. How about we put in 6 plays overnight tonight. If we can get better lines in the morning then we edit the plays. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
KODIAK speaks out:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>are you kidding me.. I edit that the morning after posting it to correct the milw. +195 to +185.. Me seeing a mistake and correcting it in the early morning for the honesty of the play has you up in arms?? Looks to me like team RR is looking for any excuses it can find to justify there miserable performance.. Stick to things that matter.. It was 10:30am and both plays weren't going off for another 9 and 12 hours!! Plus, I was the only person whom had posted, how does this effect anything?? Look i edited this post also... OH NO!

Kodiak and MLB Forum-
Editing picks (or posts) in a contest thread is not good sportsmanship
Ask around and see what people say before you come in editing yet ANOTHER post in this contest thread
Take that for what it is worth
Good Luck <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

RPM, I assume that you mean that there will be no editing of posts whatsoever. After all, once it is edited we never knew if was a pick or just a statement. Please confirm. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
BZ states:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Hammy,
I only see 1 post where there was and edit and that was made long before the game started. After day 3 we were ahead and there were no edited posts.
I do agree that posts should not be edited. If someone forgets something in their post simply add an additional post for either game time or book info or whatever.
Bottom line, we are all stand up guys and this thing is for fun. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
hamneggs responds to BZ:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Look at Kodiak's first post on this page and please tell me if it is edited. There are other edited posts in this thread as well. It is well settled that you do not edit posts in a contest thread. Do you think that you can change your picks at a sportsbook?
I am a gracious loser and will congratulate each of you in the event that we are soundly beaten. It should be noted again that Kodiak edited a post above even after RPM stated that no picks will be edited.
Maybe Kodiak is doing this to try and get a rise out of Rubber Roomers, or maybe he is doing it unconsciously. I have no idea but believe me there is nothing "personal" about this contest. I expect to be cordial to each of you at the conclusion of this contest, regardless of the outcome. Good Luck Gents <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Reds -160 WWTS
I think the game is 1:07 pm.

MC, ALL PLAYS ARE FOR 1 UNIT BUDDY!!!
[This message was edited by RPM on May 25, 2003 at 06:16 PM.]
The post was edited by RPM not MC and it was because of the units.
The only other edited post was Kodiak's and he said that was to correctly change his line from +95 to +85.
Good luck the rest of the way. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
