Q. Do you have a job if no what was the last job you had?

A. Yes I have one.

Q. How did you find out about smallball?

A. i downloaded the full smallball without the real arcade and deleted real arcade because smallball was the only thing in my mind worth keeping

Q. Was it at all the way you first thought it would be like?

A. the game itself is good it does need improving but it is slowly coming along.

Q. How long have you been in smallball?

A. well my first team was 7820 so a few seasons I think 4 altogether.

Q. Do you enjoy helping others out?

A. yes I do ,a lot. I try to help anyone and every one that has always been my nature.

Q. What started the fight between you and the commish?

A. well a few people was asking why there teams were being trashed,so me and a few others set out to see if it could really be done. we found that sending 20-30 crap teams could really kill a team, one night soon after figuring this out ,I saw the commish post to people telling them there was no way playing any team would hurt you ,and I set out to prove him wrong. well I was a tad over the edge doing so ,but I did prove him wrong in front of the whole forum. that night I went to bed with colonel sanders a high 7 star team in the top 10 of the junior league. the next morning they were 3 stars,and I saw a post on the forum saying the commish sabotaged my teams. so i checked the teams and only colonel sanders was touched and 30 teams 16177 to 16207 were the teams who done the sabotaging I saw on a post a few down from the top the commish telling a team owner,that his personal team was 16208 that is one sheer coincidence that the teams that hit me were 16207-16177 and he just so happened to have 16208. well i knew it was him and told him off about it. and that started the whole thing ,but of course he denied it.

Q. Do you think you overreacted?

A. I may have overreacted ,but most people would given the time and effort I put into ,not only my personal teams but into smallball and the small ball team owners club. I give my heart and soul and to be kicked by the commish a rep of smallball felt kinda like ****,"you can bleep that out" In fact I was told They did not want or request me to do anything for the company,or it's players.

Q. What do you think about the commish?

A. Well lets see how do I be nice here? well I think he is more then he tells everyone. I also think he is not suited to be a rep of any company,I would have fired him in a second If he talked to my customers they way he did to me. so I'm assuming he is one of the main players like the original developer of the game or someone that high up to be able to cuss out customers in emails and get away with it. So that tells me he is more then just a commish. he can be helpful at times,but there are times when he does talk down to people like they do not matter. and when he tore into me when Nate Dogg posted child porn on our smallball team owners public photo album,that made me give up the teams.for good. instead of finding out why Nate Dogg did that ,he yelled at me calling me ****ing stupid. I offered to befriend him several times and stop the arguing,but he continued to ban a whole internet company out of spite for me. he even told me I had to appologize and kiss his butt persay,so I did to get those people back their rights to play. and I got rid of my teams because ,I won't sit there wondering when he will hit me again,when I say something he doesn't like. Now I am free to say what I feel,I have not one team to worry about ,and I've proven to him once he can't keep me off the boards. Letter From Commish

Q. Do you think the commish is doing all that he can do to help others?

A. thats a toughy,he appears to care,but sometimes I think that is all it is appearances. he acts like he wants to help, and other times he just doesn't give a *** what you want or think. for instance I suggested they put up a simple chat window for the time being,until they give the regular chat going. it was shot down with a bullet. it is a simple thing to put up a java chat ,even webmaster co could do it. and it would stop all the congestion on the forum. not only would it be easy to make it would take a small amount of server load.but no nothing doing. or maybe it was just because it was my suggestion. i aslo like someones idea of a sound when your player is done training that was good,i think that was shot down too.ok ( That Was my idea pearl jam2004's ) he shot it down too.right? that is a *** good idea,and should be easy to do. ( i think he said he was gonna make it ) oh another thing he does it makes those politician answers, "we will look into it."

Q. What are the biggest problems in smallball right now?

A. Ok I got to give one to Oxnard Tight Wads there are a lot more homers then there should be.

Q. Why did you decide to disown all your teams?

A. after seeing what would happen to my teams I decided to just help the people ,and forget the teams.this way if I happen to say something the commish doesn't like ,I don't have to worry about getting banned.

Q. Do you miss training your guys?

A. yes... not as bad as I feel that I trusted FOODMONSTER who said he wanted them and was going to take care of them trading them off like crap.

Q. Do you think you will ever create another team?

A. I was thinking about it,but id I do the commish will just mess with them,so it isn't worth it. I can buy any game on the market one less doesn't bother me. but I do like the people. the team owners, 98% of them are real good people.

Q. Is smallball heading in the right direction?

A. good question,what is the right direction? from what I see they are getting alot more people but are losing some of their oldest team owners,and soon will not have a history. I think even though this is a free beta right now smallball had better realize that all these free beta user are their customer base. when the trainer comes out it will not be the guy off the street buying it ,it will be these free beta users. so these people should be given the ut most respect at all times.

Q. What do you think about smallball?

A. it is a good game and can be made great,I know starting a fledgling company is hard but in any company the customer is always right,and remember they're advertising dollars go up the more hits they're site has. so every team owner is worth his or her weight in gold.

Q. Do you like being looked up too by many in the forum?

A. I wouldn't say they looked up to me,I think they just see me speak the truth,and know I will tell them the straight truth from my heart and not beat around the bush with them.

Q. For beginners is it easy to learn how to train?

A. no it's hard at first there are some basic rules ,but honestly you got to learn how to train at you own pace and just have fun with it.

Q. What made you want to run a internet radio station?

A. I like oldies music, I have ever since I was young growing up in cleveland ohio ;the rock-n-roll capital of the world.

Q. Are there any people in the forum that annoy you or that you dislike?

A. dislike? you mean other then his majesty the commish?lol I find that FOODMONSTERS bragging all over the boards is kinda sickening specially when everyone knows he got a 7-8 star team handed to him by a distraught team owner. thats just in bad taste. most people I do like.

Q. What do you think about my pearl jammers team going from 1012 two seasons ago to 3rd in the junior league?

A. really? I didn't know ,good job.later off the record I will give you a good tip.

Q. Was this interview fun for you?

A. it was way too long ,lol 2 hours is a long time to sit and answer questions,other then that it was fine.
