Not that many will care, but Stadium Cafe will not being playing STC tonight, and likely won't be playing most Mondays for the foreseeable future. Several reasons for this.

1, scheduling conflicts
2, burnout
3, and probably most important, BTT sucks balls and we're tired of playing 90 minutes of it prior to STC.

This actually has nothing at all to do with STC, the game is excellent and we enjoy playing it. But it used to be just as enjoyable to play general trivia games beforehand, and now not so much. We still win our fair share of BTT games, but the continuing asinine content in addition to an insipid game design has just beaten us into submission. So there's really no reason to make an effort to play every week like we have for years.

We'll still play on occasion I'm sure, but it's sad when a dominant team sees no reason to continue kicking ass. Am sure SPOTES will call me a pussy who's simply getting old, and perhaps he's right. :lol: But I used to play 5-6 times a week and enjoyed all the different games, now after all the shitty changes the last few years, I'm down to 1. Brilliant strategy BT.

Good. Maybe we can win tonight.

But really, I agree, and I'm sorry I won't be seeing you up there. I have played 2 or 3 times a week for the past 5 years or so, and I still do, but the biggest difference is that I used to show up far before the premium game and play all the games leading up to it, and now I rarely show up earlier than a half hour before.

Would you do me one favor before I die? Quit complaining about everything all the time... Save it for the real issues, like having two right answers in a question, or game design, you're spot on a lot of the time, but this post was definitely unnecessary...

I am not exactly sure what prompted this. Sorry if I offended you somehow.

Well, according to what you've said, the only unnecessary part of my post was complaining about the general game content.

I try not to complain all the time, but also am quick to complement BT when good things happen. But when I see less and less reason to continue playing, it's hard not to get pissy.

And as I said, there are also non-BT reasons for not playing every Monday.

JETHRO was mentored by LEWSER and texts me on occasion, I'm not sure what you expect. :D :D :D

I'm sure it was a typo.
It was supposed to be spelled "L-E-W-S-E-R".
An understandable mistake... :P

Edit: (Rats! I leave the computer for a couple of minutes and BO beats me to it. Grrrr...)

I got made fun of for wearing my Indians shirt today, and then made fun of for being a Buckeye fan. It is a very sad time for Ohio sports, when people can give you shit and you know they are right...

Wow! That was a nasty game last night!! Very difficult. I'm thinking BO is going to be disappointed he missed this one.

I was starting to settle in and feel quite comfortable after being perfect for the first 7000, but then it rapidly went downhill from there. Missed 2 in the 2nd round, 3 in the 3rd round, and limped in with only 4250 in the last round. Several of those questions were referencing people I have never even heard of! Noticed this morning that even with barely over 18000 I still finished 50th, so that is definitely low scoring game last night.

Well, I promised him that I wouldn't tell everyone he wasn't a douchebag when I met him... it was probably just a bad day for him though.
