BEWARE of the scam artist aka kobe024 of lakenation.

Last Thursday, I received a BB mail disguised in the form of a courtesy email ... Not running my best team for our game, focusing on league bla bla bla. I even struck a conversation with the dude and discussed tactics etc. Set my lineup for the 3 games and never bother to check (my fault of course) ... Only to find out tonight he ran CT with his A lineup. Losing a cup game is no big deal, it happens to all of us at some point. But being scammed doesn't sit well with me. Very low !!!

what a douche!
But what would you expect from an unoriginal named player/team owner.

Sorry to hear and even though we are competitors I view all of this for fun and I like friendly rivalries.....I would make sure that his League knows and each and every opponent that he plays in the next couple of seasons knows he is a liar ....may the Karma gods swoop down upon him and relegate him....

Yep, not cool AT ALL.

Have you questioned him about it? I'm curious if he'll try to dodge and pretend it was an accident.

It wouldn't hurt to light up their league message boards with a warning to other teams in his league, in case he tries to do that during the season.

He was actually online during the game yesterday so I sent him an BBmail. His excuse was he was on travel and forgot to set his lineup. I guess you can get away with lots of stuff with that excuse but he overlooked two facts (1) most of his starters only played one league game last week and (2) enthu for default lineup always set to norm (never CT or TIE). I pointed these out to him and haven't heard from him since.

Thanks to Jason, a link of my post here is already been posted in his forum. Ironically, his league is the same one I promoted out last season.

Yeah, that's not OK. I've exchanged those kinds of e-mails before with other teams, and fortunately I've never had something like that happen.

Most people seem to be pretty honorable when it comes to this and it's pathetic that this person decided to take advantage of that and actively seek you out to deceive you. What a piece of s***.

Yeah, I should have checked his league games.

Yup, been playing this game since season 9 and have received those type of message many times ... he's the first to break the promise in my case. Like you said, most people here are pretty decent and honorable when comes to that.

Here we are again, its Tuesday night and time for Survivor Div II.4....excuse me as I wipe the slime from one of our contestants....in last week's episode we had one of the dreaded CT-TIE games...not only that it appears that Kobe024 is a liar in that he mislead one of our contestants....

So to recap last weekl's games ...the Ice Man was frozen out by the Hipsters who just had the groove, as was mentioned previously the Dogs were drowned by Lakenation....the wolves were bit by the Flash Mashers ... and10inch was rooted out by the Irvine Anteaters.....so now the standings are Big 8 4-3....

So now whats in store for this week's contestants...


GS Warriors (9-3) at Div IV GoldsboroPigs (11-1) - Goldsboro has had a fine season so far but the Warriors are ready and prepared for any upsed in this one....

ThunderGods (5-7) vs Div IV TrapGodz (12-0) - In a battle for the Gods the Thunder will strike down the Trap in this heavenly matchup...

Sungrazers (5-7) vs Div III Red Robots (9-3) - The Robots are led by Wesley Robison but he looks tired so this one will be a tossup as the Sungrazers are working on their league position I see the home team shining in this one....

San Diego Eagles (4-8) vs Div III Zebras (5-7) - Another good matchup but the Eagles starters are rested and ready to soar over the Zebras in this one.....

Funky Town Fire (10-2) at Div II Cross Chargers (8-4) - The Cross Chargers are at home for this one and have rested star Tanner Winn so I dont see the Fire lighting this one up ......

Work in Progres (5-7) at Div IV New Jersy Flame (9-3) - WIP has a deep bench and have the players available to put out the flames in another good match.....

The Closers (1-11) at NBBA Extra Crispy (5-7) - Extra Crispy is at home but the The Closers have the motivation and are playing for Tourney wins I think they will go extra so I see an upset in this one.....

Good Luck all! Its definitely getting tougher, teams have to decide Tourney or League...time is running out and ramifications will occur depending on choices made!!!

Game of the Week -

Lots of interesting matchups so I will have to post my comments tomorrow night after doing more research.....stay tuned for a special Wednesday Edition of Survivor Div II.4
