Seeing as the discussion is here...
Sulla's tone is markedly better now.
I completely understand why their tone soured in their own thred, although I didn't always agree with what they posted. I think Sulla summed it up for me in his post in the postgame discussion:
The repeated use of the
smiley annoyed me though. Ok - we know that you guys are really good at this game, but you don't need to look-down your nose quite that much - I mere - "that was a dumb move because ......" would have done.
When I play cricket we often yell things like "fishing" when the batsman swing's and misses, if he does it again we will yell to the bowler "He likes your tackle mate" Another well used phrase is, again when the batsman has a bit of a heave: "The cows are mooing"
They do the same in return "Strike 1, Strike 2, Strike 3 - you'd be out in baseball mate" was shouted at me a few weeks ago.
After the game though in the bar (like in the postgame thread) we all have a decent chat and a beer and talk about how well someone bowled, batted etc...
