MBBRL Oblivion Discussion

[TREFF]

Well wasn't referring to anyone, or any single comment in particular. . Just seems like there's more than a few who read too much into the word "oblivion".. not sure what a better word would be, but apparently "oblivion" had some unintended negative connotations.

Erring on the side of the dramatic I guess.

Aaaaahhhhh!!!! Oblivion!!!!

("Not necessarily having a guaranteed spot the following year" didn't have the same ring to it.)

Maybe this will help. I typed oblivion into thesaurus.com and these are the synonyms in no particular order:

unconsciousness
abeyance
amnesia
carelessness
disregard
forgetfulness
inadvertence
indifference
insensiblility
neglect
nirvana
unawareness
unconcern
unmindfulness

So with that being the case I think we should just say that the two bottom teams will be sent to unconsciousness, I like the sound of that.

FF purgatory?

FF purgatory?

Ha, that seems to fit.

 

[TREFF]

I kinda think "indifference" actually fits the best.. The spot is non guaranteed, and there is a clean slate for those involved, plus anyone else interested. . We'd be "indifferent" in selecting the new team owners. .. could be the same two, could be different people.

 

[wilwhite]

I like Purgatory - you can descend into Purgatory, but you can still be saved.

(Might make those voting get kind of a big head, though.)

 

[Sam Sportboy]

We Really need to get past this misconception that "oblivion" in this instance, means gone forever. No one is banned, no one is shunned from the group. It's simply opening up the spot.

I guess I was guilty of that too..............how about if instead of Oblivion we just call it Time Out?

The flogging will continue until the attitude improves!

With my team on the cut-off line I was just beginning to question what would be worse, being thrown into oblivion (my understanding was you were out for next season) in the MBBRL or being in a league where the other owners got to pick your tattoo?

The tattoo is a lifetime commitment. I think that would be worse.

I rather go to Nirvana....

 

[Chef99]

I rather go to Nirvana....

Everyone knows that they are the greatest band that ever existed.

 

[TREFF]

Everyone knows that they are the greatest band that ever existed.

....no

 

[Chef99]

....no

Ha! I was (half) kidding...you're not gonna start lecturing me about the Beatles, are ya? :rollseyes:

 

[TREFF]

Nirvana was better than the Beattles as far as I'm concerned. . But I lost no sleep over Kurt Cobain either.. I'd take the Stones any day

We are in agreement there, sir.

 

[averagejoe]

A C league of course immediately popped to mind back then, but there was no call for it. (I do know what to name it, though.)

Oh I have naming ideas...
