RE: looking for opponents cmbb
Hi DT,

First of all I have no problem at all with what you want to do in offering free games to the new guys - you were kind of caught up along with some of the other posts - that's fine if that's what you'd like to do - sorry if my posts made you think otherwise.

Your heavyweight/lightweight illustration is good, except that in these cases the lightweight is never forced to fight the heavyweight. He chooses to. Sometimes he even wants to. In my cases at the beginning I wanted to fight those experienced guys - I thought I was really good. After 8 losses I found out I wasn't so good and started fighting guys more at my level of experience. I'm not mad at them or anything - hey - I'm the one who took on the games - I'm the one who wasn't prepared to win. Personal responsibility plays a part here. You mentioned the NFL. In the NFL if an expansion team accepts membership and is scheduled to play a playoff team, the playoff team does not say "this one won't count since you have so many rookies." When Hitler wanted to fight the Russians they didn't say "Oh you don't want to do that - we'll end up 10X stronger than you - it wouldn't be fair."

Also, remember that just because he's a new guy here does not necessarily mean he is inexperienced. I've been beaten before by new guys - Graves Registration comes to mind - it was his first game here. He whipped me good.

But you did have many valid points there for me to think about - good post...

On your game offer - sure - feel free to send me something...
