...using the moniker heypartner--lol! except in this thread. My side has lost the bet, because I have conceded. Game over, unless Mo' leaves and Griffin becomes the PF, or Griffin is traded for a PF/C...both situations no Rocket fan should hope for. Please submit your matchup requests and name change requests in this thread, here on out. We must have a name change in by Oct 31st. The table will show matchups as you guys choose them. The bold matchups are set. The red indicates a loser's newly registered moniker. <pre><font face="courier"> <u>Crisco's side</u> <u>HP's Side</u> Achebe - 3723 SmeggySmegg - 2988 Colby HOOP-T = <font color="ff0000">reneger</font> Haven Behad = <font color="ff0000">newbiehad</font> moestavern19 - 1657 DaDakota - <font color="ff0000">reneger</font>2314 4chuckie Band Geek Mobster = <font color="ff0000">Pete Rose Mobster</font> DVauthrin RunninRaven = <font color="ff0000">RavenLunatic</font> SpaceCity - 950 fadeaway - 1401 oeilpere - 512 Puedlfor = <font color="ff0000">Tolpatcsh Verkinder</font> Joe Joe - 816 Heath2000 - <font color="ff0000">Heath Heath</font>1170 hardwood - 854 Rocketsbooster - 1129 Kim verse = <font color="ff0000">Shandon Anversen</font> Vengeance - 797 Summer Song Giver - 896 rocketsfan34 - 882 ROXTXIA - 827 Scarface - 560 Hydra - <font color="ff0000">StupidMoniker</font>728 Thanos - 559 RichRocket - 778 No Worries Castor = <font color="ff0000">Castor The Friendly Postr</font> Valio! - 492 P1S2 - 343 franchise_3 - 288 RocketBall - 308 rocketsauce - 475 fatty fat fat - <font color="ff0000">Fatty Fat b*stard</font> Turbo - 298 Silent J - 147 Rocket Guard RocketKid = <font color="ff0000">New Kid on the Block</font> bigboymummu Daryle Ward = <font color="ff0000">Montgomery Ward</font> OT - 286 Since75 - 113 Wink3Cat5 - 63 Chuck04 - 107 Francis3 - 3600 Gene Peterson - 45 Sniper - 28 Lord Tree - 158 Onepacks - 32 SuperS32 - 113 Kimble14 - 11 floyd - 48 UofTOrange - 52 </pre></font> To restate a comment that BGM restated in fatty's thread..."I think the only thing still to decide is what type of names are not allowed. The most creative stuff (and I believe the goal of your naming) should be keeping all or part of the previous name in tact. The goal should be that everyone still knows who the poster is. Try transplanting your name ontop of the losers name." Use "newbiehad" as your goal in naming, notice how Haven annoys Behad by making him a newbie for a year. Oh btw: the name changes only last a season, should you guys ever want to change back. Except for me, mine lasts 30 months (it looks like). Choose good names!!

btw: I did surpass Jeff in post count before I died!! Exactly on schedule with RocketsPimp's calculations last Sept, I believe.
I'll match up with anyone willing to be torutred by me. ------------------ "Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." - George W.
Just a suggestion: Place your old moniker in your sig for awhile until we can figure out everyones new moniker. ------------------
I think Daryle Ward has been renamed "Montgomery Ward", because our side is out of business. ------------------ It looks like a veteran can Be had.
I'll take RocketKid. He has the same number of posts as me, so I guess that's a fair way to pick. New monicker will be forthcoming. Lord Tree ------------------ Who is Lain?
I don't care who gets matched up with me. I was originally going to wait until Oct. 31 to change, in case something happens and Griffin isn't our starting SF, but if that happens, I will just go back to my old name. So bring it on, worthless as yet unnamed rival! Do your worst! ------------------ I would rather have Mo Taylor and his love of the Rockets than Webber and his love of our money. Rocket's need power forward. Mo near now. Go near Mo.
I guess I am matched up with Since75. I will be easy on him but, he will know who changed his name everytime he starts or adds to a thread. Since75 now known as OTSinceSeventyFive ------------------
actually not. The bet is the ultimate Roster Move thread, imo. And I ok'd it with Clutch anyhow, thinking maybe we should move it. The deal is that many of the bettor's won't find the thread if moved out of the roster moves forum. btw: I found a mistake above. Kim is listed twice so we have a mismatch. I say Crisco gets to name any unmatched bettors, or one of the 100-200 guys gets the change the two lowest posters on my side. whadyathink
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet your new BBS poster: T-Pooh Others I thought of, Newbie Hoop-T Hoo I drive a Hoop-T No Booty Hoop-T Can't hit the Hoop-T Hoop-T oven is off ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley
Ok,since Rocketkid has a similar postcount to me I will take him(Unless someone on my side has him already).Lets see: Kid me New kid on the block RG_owns_the_kid Any ideas?I like the 2nd moniker,it just gives a funny touch ------------------ Bigamy is having one wife too many.Monogamy is the same
This is such a great bet. Didn't you guys learn anything from "The Naked Gun"? Don't bet on the White guy. How bout a "Little" in front for Rocket kid. Or the little Rocket that could. I have had my fun, you guys go at it. Also, welcome T-Pooh. ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley [This message has been edited by Colby (edited July 04, 2001).]
How about "The Little rocket that COULDN'T" Haha,I should have a poll,but I think it's that or New kid on the block ------------------ Bigamy is having one wife too many.Monogamy is the same
OK. I unilaterally choose that as a winner. Hoop-t in reverse is just too perfect!!! Colby is my hero for the day. live with it HOOP-t [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited July 04, 2001).]
Despite the fact I'm ecstatic that hayp lost, gonna miss ya. Wait they are not banned forever? ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley
