PUHOLINO:That 1st day friend thing means Person X joined through person Y's invite via email. Really interesting.
alosso: PUHOLINO:That 1st day friend thing means Person X joined through person Y's invite via email. Really interesting.Maybe this was due to the experiment of "race through the tiers" as a consequence of disconnects of the higher tier(?)
Or a transferral of credits? People who experiment to prove a point (as it was stated) usually try to prove it somewhere and post the "evidence" (like Stormy and I did in another thread).
Man you guys are brutal. Nothing in his stats suggests he's anything other than a new golfer. Put yourself in a genuine new player's shoes. He does what Andy says can be done-practice before playing for real-goes out and finds that his proud achievement pales in comparison to some other guy that actually did game the system.
Rude awakening but not a sign of sandbagging. Yet.
Hear ya YJ, but you'd expect the occaional blitz or alt game inbetween ALL that practice.):
You're right Jim, this pub talk heated up a wee bit too much.
I find myself where I don't wanna see me: Talking and thinking bad along some unfamiliar occurrences, without proof.
My sincere apologies to LLuciano.
I also apologize if he is an honest new player but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... it's usually a duck. Right OEJ?
cycle1979: Right OEJ?
LOL. You calling John a duck? ;-)

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it floats and if it floats that means he's a WITCH!

I'm sorry. My comments were meant as an explanation on how people find themselves on someone's friends list right after they join, not as an accusation of any kind. As for the "transferring of credits" comment, I sponsored my friends (when they won aprize within the CC) that way many times, but always through blitzes (they cost less). I in no way think or imply that OEJ and the OP are "connected", I think the OP's stats would be much better if they were. I have played once with OEJ and he's on my friends list, had a good experience with him and I apologize if my comments sounded as an accusation. They were meant more as a theoretical discussion than anything else.
No need to apologize, anybody. I was just pointing out the possibility of the OP being legit. I have no clue myself but everybody gets the benefit of the doubt at first. :-)
