    Very early when I was looking at it, I was poking around (Yahoo I think?).

    Sorry man. It says you opened the email on Oct 17. I realize this is weeks after I sent the email on Sept 23. But its not my problem if you don't have your account set up to send email notifications when you receive a "beer mail."
    I went back thru all 11 pages, and nowhere did you post that you were bailing out. You never logged back onto Yahoo and clicked the option to "leave the group" before the season started. Everyone made a week 1 selection. You may have just been poking around. But don't you think it looks really shady that you made a week 1 selection? Why wouldn't everyone who lost in week 1 just say "I was just poking around, I didn't really want to enter." If you didn't want to participate, then you needed to notify me before the season started. OR at the very least. Logged on to yahoo, and choose to leave the group (like the ohio state guy did that I was poking fun at).
    Man up. Admit you lost, pick up some local beers, and ship a box to @averagjoe3 !!

    I didn't post ANYTHING EVER. Not the group message or this thread. I opened the email to leave the thread as it was chatty and I wasn't participating.

    I honestly had no idea what the heck this was or the rules. I saw the thread it seemed interesting, I clicked some stuff and decided I didn't want to do it.

    I didn't even know I "lost." There is nothing to man up about. I am telling you the situation. Only this week has anyone attempted to reach out in an individual message to me, with a subject line designed to "bait" me I assume.

    That's Totally not true. You choose to Permanently leave 2 different messages that I sent. And I sent you another message that you just choose to ignore.

    I NEVER said you had to post on the thread to sign up. I gave everyone the login #'s and password and said use your BA name (which you did). You signed up on Yahoo. You choose a team in week 1. That's signing up. You made no effort to leave the yahoo league. And you made no effort to contact me either by direct messaging me or by posting on the Survivor thread.

    I didn't know I needed to do anything. Clearly I messed up by poking around and signing up unknowingly, but that is where the story ends from my perspective. If you want to report me to the mods that is fine, I have nothing to hide.

    Wow, dude, really weak. Way to not honor a bet.

    And on top of that, you're making yourself look more and more like a jerk by your answers.

    I didn't even realize I was making a bet! Did you ever ONCE see me reply or post in this thread. I considered myself not involved. Had I made a bet, I would honor it.

    Consider it what you want. I don't feel I should be involved with this in any way.

    You picked teams week 1. That was you entering the bet. Doesn't matter that you didn't post in this thread. You took the info from this thread to enter the league and entered a full week one lineup. From there, you're in.

    I don't have the time or the patience for this junk. You guys brought out the pitchforks. I am going to send this guy his beer and then I am getting out of BA, you people are ridiculous.

    So many reasons why positive trade feedback should be a requirement, even in these large open BIF's. Because there is no track record here on BA, I can't tell if this was an honest mistake not knowing how this type of BIF works (doubtful), or someone who lost in Week 1 and thought that he was off the hook when other people stepped up to ship boxes (more likely). Either way, it sounds like this is resolved, and I hope that the box that is sent ends up being a respectable effort.

    It is an honest mistake. I still don't completely know how this works. But I see everyone would rather assume the worse.

    On the flip side, had I "won", I wouldn't have accepted anything since that wouldn't equally unfair of me given that I felt I was not participating.

    It's already all been covered, so let's close the subject and get back to the beer! Show the group it was an honest mistake by sending a box worthy of the group.

    From the OP:
    Min 66oz- max 110. Wants/Should be wants/out of distro/beers you would want to receive, + an NFL Swag item.

    Cheers!

    Kevin, thank you for doing the right thing and shipping to joe. I am calling this situation closed, no need for any further feedback.

    Now hopefully the other two nuckleheads who haven't logged on in months will log on. And everyone will get their beer.

    Next year, I will
    A. Collect addresses and phone numbers before the season.
    B. Anyone who didn't participate this year, it will be a requirement that they have some type of positive trade feedback.
