Fellas, hello. Wow. What a hilarious whirlwind the past 30 days have been. Strap in for the funniest month-long summary of your lives. Before we get into it, I know a lot of you all are calling for me to take an L, and I'll address that, I promise--however show me another poster who can take a 30 day absence and still provide this level of material... You can't.
So I guess I will start at the beginning: June 2nd, 2018. I had just opened up a HUGE can of worms in the stagnant and motionless "RPotBT" Thread III the night before by telling Fleece that I'd take Kobe over LeBron, which spawned no less than 8 pages of arguments. I began getting fed up when a certain mod began constantly calling Kobe a rapist. Nobody stood up to the guy and I felt compelled to make a stand. In hindsight 30 days is a long time. But Id be lying if I said that the following 4+ weeks didnt provide me with immense entertainment.
^^The post that started it all.
IMMEDIATELY beta Fleece took the opportunity to throw shade. Same guy who wanted to add me on linkedin and was asking for my email address just weeks before. Interesting take, bud. Hold up because Im not done with you just yet.
It was apparent very early in my hiatus that Ziti was on the cusp of a legendary summer. Keeping me updated on D4H during my absence was a huge power move. It was clear very early that Fleece (even his name is soft) and Big Z were on totally different trajectories, sad.
Alsoshouts out to my boys VSF and Vekzy for the love while I was on vacation.
Despite all of the love it really bothered me how petty Fleece was being. At this point even starting rumors. Go through my entire catalog, anyone, I challenge you. I have never taken a leave like this, yet here is a guy who 2 weeks earlier was borderline desperate to be my friend off of volnation playing the role of gossip girl. Again, sad.
I loved the way Yankee used his off-season. He couldnt make official game threads so he turned the focus to watching for my activity and keeping others informed. I have said it before and I will say it again: When it comes to keeping everyone in the know, there is nobody better than Yank. Total pros pro.
I also enjoyed the speculation. Had a boring poster (such as, I dont know
Flee
ehh
NVM) taken a month off nobody would have noticed. Indy takes a month off and the speculation flies.
Which brings me to my next pointthe NDVol2 account was not an attempt at trolling as much as it was an attempt to provide my friends with some entertainment in my absence. And it looked like it worked, so (again) kudos to me. NDVol2
? Who doesnt find that hilarious.
Also I finally got BTO to address my existence, so I can cross that off the bucket list as well.
I guess what I am saying is: how many posters can make 2 posts from a completely different account and be UNIVERSALLY recognized based on their dialect alone? I dont think anyone (well, except for me).
So yeah, no Ls here. Only LOLs.
So thanks to Vekzy and a few of the others who understood the joke.
As my self-imposed suspension moved onward Ziti continued to re-write the record books. Despite a page or two of deleted posts he even got Freak to publicly engage in argumentative behavior. Shouts out to Ziti for trolling the king, which is something very few have done.
Also shouts out to Freak for handling himself in a classy manner as always, even though hes been giving me the cold shoulder. (more on that later)
Which brings me to the past day or two. My friend Ed voiced concern in regards to my absence when our resident hater, Fleece took yet another opportunity to hate on someone else in attempt to make himself look cool. Middle school approach at best, but hey, if I wasnt Indy Id probably hate me too, big guy.
In conclusion, its great to be back. Thanks again for all of the love.
Im ready to mix it up!!!
