Jabbering JAG 133.2 (Independence Day Rant)

I hope everyone is enjoying some Independence Day festivities! To kick off the season I was 12-5 in predictions... a lot of the scorelines weren't close but a win is a win. I decided to use this holiday to rant about the WIS community.

Wilkinson has it's own community that within the world everything seems like the suburbs of a huge metro area. Everything seems pretty peaceful, crazy and intense but everyone gets along. Sure there is some friendly banter and some minor trash talking but for the most part there isn't any true "beef." The sense of community that has been created is amazing considering this is the most populated world, you would think that things might be out of control within the world... but it's not.

Now for the rest of the GD community. Things have gotten so bad that I don't even check the general GD forums anymore. It seems that 95% of what is posted there is either related to the "Tigerpark Scandal" or some other form of cheating. I guess I can't even say that without " ". It seems that pretty much every allegation is based on shaky ground. Everyone who loses a recruiting battle or gets a battle they didn't see coming seems to come down to "oh so and so is cheating." I will say that I have had my own share of doing this... but when you battle me for a LB who is 300 miles from you and you have 3 LB green and already 9 on the roster... that's going to raise some flags. However, I never called that coach or the two coaches I suspected out because there is plenty of that on the forums already and even though it is an extremely strange "strategy," that coach could be conducting some experiment with LBs.

I am all for people standing their ground and having WIS investigate allegations but calling people out in the forums because you're a little "butt hurt" is ridiculous. I have been around GD since 1.0 and never encountered this kind of community in the forums. I also know that quite a bit of it is trolling now and I'm not trying to call anyone out, just simply ranting about the fireworks in GD forums lately.

Happy 4th of July everyone and GL in your games tomorrow.
