Greetings! (and an S.P.A. question)

[Irishman]

Hello vg users. I have lurked here for a little while but just now registered. I usually spend my time on Utopia but I recognized a few vg'ers over there and thought I would check in and register here.

I also have a question about the S.P.A. lists. I didn't realize until about 10 minutes ago that I have played two gentlemen recently who are able to certify for S.P.A. (BlackpowderEER and Daddy Fat Saxx). I don't know if I am allowed to retroactively use those games as my "tryout", but I thought I'd ask anyway. I had a great time playing BlackpowderEER last night and Daddy a few weeks ago. I know why you have them both able to certify. They were great guys to play against and their play style is as clean as it gets. Thanks, guys.

Anyway, I look forward to contributing a bit more in the coming months. By the way, my online tag is Eireannach.

Go away noob. You are not welcome here. What, you couldn't just settle for being a tyrant over at Utopia, so you had to follow me over here? Lame.

Just as an f.y.i., I am in charge of maintaining the "Straight Players Lists" at Utopia. Unless anyone on the S.P.A. has a problem with this, I am going to automatically add all S.P.A. members to the Utopia Straight Player lists without the required confirmations from other Utopians. The requirements for S.P.A. are much more stringent than that for the Utopia list, so I think it is a logical move. I do not expect nor ask for reciprocity in this case since our requirements are less strict. I would expect that any Utopians that desire to join the S.P.A. would have no problem with the separate confirmation process. My rationale here is to help NCAA gamers find other straight gamers now that Madden has decreased the number of NCAA players online. The Utopia lists can be found here (http://www.utopiafootball.com/forums/showpost.php?p=602167&postcount=1). My intent is not to draw users away from this site, but if linking to our lists is a problem, I will remove it immediately. Anyone who does not wish to be listed on the Utopia list for any reason, please let me know via PM or posting here. Thanks.

irish, this is fine as we did the same thing for ps2. we just took all the guys that were on the certified list over at utopia and made them S.P.A. members (since i see them and know many of them anyway). we could do the same thing, if you feel those members will play by the rules of the S.P.A. i know str8 games are very hard to come by with the depletion of players on ncaa due to madden. the more str8 players we have, the better, especially for the box right now. once i get my computer back up and running (crashed lol) i'll update everything.

I would not want to speak for all the Utopians on the list because I know of a few that pull men off the line on punt coverage and a few who drop back very far after the snap with the QB. They do not use these moves to "cheese" per se or even use these moves excessively, but if it is all the same, I'd rather they meet your more stringent standards than have them exempted and then do something that breaks the rules. Either way, I'll leave it up to you.

to be honest, i have no problem at all with pulling guys off the line on punts, that rule is set up so guys aren't trying to do stupid things on regular plays, but i do see what you're trying to say. are there any members that you know that would play under the rules given by the S.P.A.? if you don't wish to single out (or alienate the other members), then i understand. if you wish to contact me privatley, hit me up with a pm

[djwill13]

Which 1 is their gamer tag??? :confused:

[Irishman]

the one on the right, i'm assuming
That is correct:

Utopia Name - Gamertag

[TrojanNole]

This is probaly no problem pulling someone off the LOS (AFTER THE SNAP), only before the snap would there be a problem.

But, the SPA does appreciate it Irishman.

That's what I mean. I have had a few instances of someone pulling one guy back a few seconds before the snap. However, it didn't help them. ;)
