| davidponte 03/26/18 1:01:20 AM #313 | The Jets are in a similar spot as the Leafs where they're going to have to play against the best team in the conference in Nashville in the second round. Unlike the Leafs though, I think they've got a real good shot of getting to the second round and potentially beating the best team in the conference. I think they'd be a lock for the Conference Finals if they didn't have to go into Nashville so early though, so they're a victim of a poor playoff system this year. --- Posted using GameFlux Get it now for Android from Google Play! |

| davidponte 03/23/18 3:37:48 PM #29 | Lopen posted... I'm inclined to agree with that sentiment of not caring about whether something was 'worked for' but with the caveat that I don't consider following a sports team 'work' to begin with. If a team I like loses I just move on with my day. I don't exactly suffer through losses or anything. Like to me it's not about whether there was 'work' in obtaining a victory as much as whether it was unexpected. There's just a lot more thrill in an upset. I agree with this. I don't forcefully sit down in agony and watch my bad team. I'm enjoying the game regardless of whether they win or not. Obviously it feels better when they win, but I don't consider watching sports a chore or work at any time. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |

Everyone gets a pass if they are a fan of a team when there is no local option, then a local team comes around. You had no choice but to root for an out-of-town team if you wanted to be a fan, but now the local option is there and it's okay to switch allegiances. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
| Topic | I'm not a bandwagoner, am I? |
| davidponte 03/23/18 3:28:19 PM #25 | I don't necessarily believe it's just the idea of overcoming adversity. In my head it's not "Oh man this win is going to be so much better than all of your wins because I stuck with them during the bad times", it's more being a fan of the same team for an entire lifetime that makes it feel so good. When a bandwagoner comes on halfway through a great season and then the team wins it all, sure, it's going to be a great time, but in 6 months, it'll just be remembered as a great time. If that same team wins after I've been a fan for 20+ years, it'll be a moment that I never forget, and something that will be hard to top. I'm not saying that the above scenario shouldn't happen and that people should feel bad for being that bandwagoner. Absolutely not. I'm just saying it's going to be so much more memorable and feel so much better if you have that build-up as a fan. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |

| davidponte 03/23/18 3:19:24 PM #22 | th3l3fty posted... there's nothing wrong with being a bandwagoner Also I mostly agree with this. Everyone loves a good time, and when a team is good, it's a good time. Local team bandwagoners aren't a huge issue, because they're enjoying the success with you, but when it's a combination of supporting an out-of-town team coupled with someone advertising their fake fanhood or throwing it in your face, I take issue with it. Nothing worse than "Oh you're a fan of X? They suck, Y is so much better", meanwhile, X is the local team, they only realized Y was good last week, and can't tell you anything about what's going on. EDIT: Since I'm going on a mini-rant here, the worst is fans who actively talked trash about the local team for over a decade because they've been mediocre, have been a fan of a great team during that time, and decide that they're now fans of that same local team they've constantly trashed because they decided to be good for the first time in forever. You can tell that Toronto sports have made me bitter. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |

Of course not. I'd love for them to have won it every year of the past 40 years. I'm not saying I'm a superior fan for being a fan of a bad team than a fan of a team that consistently wins. What I am saying is that the eventual (hopefully) win will feel amazing because I've sat through an entire life worth of mediocrity. An example of this is that I am also a Patriots fan, so I do know what it feels like to consistently win, and while it's a great feeling, I can tell you that seeing the Leafs win meaningless regular season games over the last two years, and play in the playoffs last year, provided me with a happiness a Patriots Super Bowl has never given me. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |

These past few years have felt better both for me and older family members who have been through years of mediocrity than any of the past 20+ seasons. If they finally break through and win the cup in the next few years, it'll easily be the happiest moment of my life. --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! |

| davidponte 03/23/18 3:01:05 PM #11 | Also, considering you are a "new" hockey fan, I don't think it's really possible to be labeled a bandwagoner regardless of the team you decided to root for, since it's your first team. If you flip-flop on who you want to support, then sure, but everyone has to start somewhere. The local team is a great choice. --- Posted using GameFlux |

| davidponte 03/23/18 2:56:59 PM #7 | I'm one of those awful people that believes there isn't much worse than a bandwagoner, but I don't think you'd fall under that. It's a local team, which doesn't totally take away the possibility of being a bandwagoner, but it's also their first season of existence, which means you're getting in at the beginning, regardless of how far into the season they are or their current record. --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! |

| davidponte 03/23/18 2:48:13 AM #158 | I attempted to be free to play for over a year when I started playing, but that involved focusing on one or two classes and disenchanting everything from other classes, with very little progress made. It's not a great long-term strategy either. I still haven't recovered fully, with my Rogue class missing every single Epic/Legendary from the Classic set. The first money I spent was on Adventures because those cards were vital to most decks. Those aren't a thing anymore so packs would be the way to go. I've probably spent around $200 total on the game which is a relatively small amount when you look at how much it really costs to get most of the cards. You're looking at $300+ per expansion if you just want to open up the cards from packs. I've never pre-ordered (always gone the gold save-up route), but with the 20 bonus packs being offered along with it being a new Standard year, I've decided to do it for the new expansion. I'm also a Standard only player, though. Which means I'll be dusting all of the cards rotating out next month, allowing me to gain a bunch of dust to use towards new cards. It means I'll never be able to play Wild, but I have no interest in it anyway. --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! |
