Enough is enough. Let's vote!

[mantaraydre]

COACHES,

BUT, The numbers dont lie. it is quite evident what the EF citizens want out of this hobby. Every had/has the opportunity to vote. WHETHER OR NOT YOU CARE ENOUGH IS YOUR PEROGATIVE. There are some people who will just go with the flow either way,This voting poll is very eye opening. I did not think it would be that much of a landslide. At this point i would have thought it would be 24-17 either way. 41-5 is a number i hope all is paying attention to.

the reason i put up past post is to show you we have these debates from time to time and NOTHING EVER GETS DONE. NOT THIS TIME !
The people have spoken and now we would like to see action. The 41-5 message is loud and clear. The coaches who are for 4.0 have made valid reasons for supporting that weight. THANX TO AL REVENA FOR PUTTING UP THIS POLL. It is eye opening to say the least. WE MUST SET STANDARDS TO GIVE OUR HOBBY MORE CREDIBILITY AND TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY LIKE THE XBOX AND PLAY STATION CAMPS. Whwnever you have a group of anyone do anything together, you will never get all involved agreeing on the same thing.
This poll, is one of the most significant events in the hobbies history. For once, the people have spoken loud and clear with there votes. Say whatever you want afterwards, THE NUMBERS DONT LIE.

Please dont ignore what has taken place in the polls. IT'S HISTORIC.

What are you talking about????


a total of 47 members voted, ..........................how many do we have in membership???

I know there would be 14 more for 3.3 in my BuzzBall league alone, ..........it is just that this is such nonsense I'm the only one wasting my time on it, the rest are over at rm's house playing games!

Actually this has been a very good response. You are never going to get 200 votes on anything on here. We can only go by those who choose to vote.

This is such a senseless waste of time, again, I see us spinning wheels wasting time on crap, I am sorry, nothing personal, this is horrible.

We play 3.3, 4.0 and unlimited, why do we need to make one a priorty over the other, leave the standard at 3.3 so as to be able to accommodate EVERYONE, the guy who just got his stuff from Miggle or Ebay or the guy who dug his childhood stuff out, etc..

A 3.3 team can go to 4.0 in less than 30 minutes, but you can't go back.

So go ahead you numbers men and set the "standard" at 4.0 and know that you are EXCLUDING a lot of potential coaches.

Nonsense, plain and simple!

Wolf, one day I swear we'll agree on something, one day it is bound to happen!

................Had a great time in LA, .............you and I had a great cool game, ......glad we are on the same page on this!

Hey George, we had a blast the weekend, man we laughed. Talk some sense into these people will ya.

42-6 for 4.0,...............I'm shocked to see this,...I thought most cats liked 3.3 better.

P.S. Whatever is fine with me

The HHEFL votes 3.3! There is 9 votes that have not been counted yet. Sometimes you guys...wow...I think this post went a little over board...I am with George Diamond on this one...and for MANTARAY- DRE...I love you man, I really do, I think most people that know Dre will agree...for a guy that is quiet in real person, you sure do have a lot to say and come alive on line dude. Thanks for stirring the pot up!

And no...not everyone has had the opportunity to vote...I just got online!

In any event...debate is usually a good thing, but this post is like saying...do you prefer Strawberry or Vanilla ice cream...in the end...it is still ice cream...

We (the staff of The Tweak) actually discussed doing an article where we had the debate between 3.3 and 4.0...kinda like a presidential debate thing...but in the end I felt it was too controversal and it would divide the coaches into two camps, when the MFCA is about unity.

For me, like Norbert said, whatever is fine with me...we all have our own style of play, figures we like and weight we use...standards are not the answer...diversity...that is the what makes a game better, because it keeps evolving.

Shabby J also has a good point...the new guy coming into the hobby, he just wants to play and the 3.3 equipment or "standard stuff", is a great way to get things going....

My two cents...May God Bless either the 3.3 or 4.0...he probably does not care either!

P.S. George we have 267 members...with over 150 being relatively new to the hobby...I think they would vote 3.3...so that makes it 158-42

I totally understand a guy who wants to play at 3.3 and pulling out his old stuff from of the closet after 30 years or so. However, you can quickly get him up to 4.0 with some lead tape under his platform. However, the guy that wants to customize his figures is the guy that cannot go down in weight unless he hollows out every player and then uses a sliver of plastic to use as his platform (this is so frustrating to customizers and not worth the time). It's soooooo easy to use that lead tape to go up in weight,but a lot harder to go down when using custom figures. Also, I have found that playing in a 4.0 league as opposed to a 3.3 league weight limit allows for better performance from my team because figures are less likely to fall down on a hot spot on the board. Matt Culp plays in the Mid-Ohio league with his Cowboys that are the little miggle team. Because of the lead tape (that no one can see by the way) he is at the same weight as everyone who has customes, and everyone is happy. Don't let the guy that wants to play with custom figures out because of a weight everyone can get to.

Let them wiegh what they weigh as long as no "artificial" weight is added! How simple is that!!! Make it 4.1, 4.2, doesn't matter, but don't allow weight to be added.
