Two stacks of rollups

Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2003 7:46 am

Recently we talked about the two sets of rollups that RSI might keep around. Here's my last 2 teams and last 2 replacement rollups. You be the judge.

Team 1
3-7-18-9-9-10-14
10-8-13-10-10-10-9
10-5-9-8-15-18-5
9-9-12-8-13-10-9
13-13-7-5-14-8-10
Team 2
18-8-9-6-10-13-6
12-12-19-7-6-3-11
3-8-15-12-9-16-7
14-7-16-7-4-13-9
8-11-15-10-5-12-9
Replacement 1
15-9-14-4-9-9-10
Replacement 2
14-7-14-4-8-12-11

For the most part, those rollups can be described with a word that begins with 'C' and rhymes with 'rap'.

I'm just adding data to the "two stacks" theory.

I'm going to give a buddy(new manager) of mine some cash and have him order a few new teams and see what comes back.

I recently got four team sheets and one replacement warrior. There was one 'decent' sheet, two probably worth playing (in part because of set-ups that otherwise would suck but could be tried as 19-19-5-7-19-6-9 as one example) and one hopeless one (one 'good' design and nothing else even close). The replacement had little con, less speed and could be 'pumped up' to a 12 wit.

Probably this means that the majority of sheets used for anyone just aren't very good. .....or they're sending mine from the wrong pile....

For those of you that are bored or aren't working when you should be, more proof that there really is 2 stacks :

10-9-17-10-7-5-12.

To be fair and objective, I have 9 rollups from different arenas coming, I'll keep ya posted how they turn out.

Ah come on now, here's an old saying for ya, how about some cheese with that whine ! Elephant those people must hate your guts. Man, I've spent my share at times on roll-ups and have been able to fight every warrior on every team Rolling Eyes

right. Hey man the odds of getting that killer roll-up are pretty slim. If you'd like you can go thru the thirty or more in my file and you'll see they all look pretty much like the two you described. Just have to hit it right. It's a roll of the dice. Keep spending that money son and eventually you'll hit the jackpot, just tell them Barnabas sent you. One or two stacks, are you kidding me, with all of us insane addicts they probably have 50 or 100 stacks ! We've all been there my friend. Get to many killer warriors out there and it wouldn't be so fun picking on you. Late Twisted Evil

Don't give me that. I know there's been times when you were not happy with what you received back. Don't you have a team with all 21 wits?

Yes two stacks.

Stack one - Good rollups for newer managers. This helps keep you interested.

Stack two - Hodge podge of rollups for all the adicts that have been playing for years. We're hooked so they know we'll keep paying until that special RU comes along.

Right now your account # is still with stack one, wait a year or two until they move you to stack two then let me know how you really feel.

I haven't heard this theory before. Where did it come from?

I buy my RU's in groups, usually about 5-10 before every mail-in and about 10-15 for each FtF. Some groups are terrible, some are fantastic. It just depends....there have a lot of times I've seen newbies buy 3-5 roll-ups and they all turn out horrid. The only time I've seen the specifically weed out Roll-Ups is during demo tourneys--they make a point to take out all the extremely bad and extremely good roll-ups so everyone starts on a mostly equal footing.

So that is where they got the 20 Team Ru's that they sent me to get myself back into the game.

Where do they send the extremely good ones though? Laughing

It came from someone who was bored and should've been working instead of being on dm.com. This thread was for fun and not to be taken seriously.
