So, what was the deal with user:Babymissfortune? And why does this exist? Your user page makes no mention of them. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 10:59, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

So, what was the deal with user:Babymissfortune
It was my very first username. It was a reference to a League of Legends character. And why does this exist?
Don't really remember, but I would guess most likely, I was reverting a lot of vandalism using a gadget, probably WP:HUGGLE, and I might have reverted consecutive vandalism edits by a disruptive IP, so I'm pretty sure this was just a personal attack on me by them.

2027 PBA Draft Pick Tracking (Titan Ultra / Converge Asset)
Hi there. I wanted to reach out regarding the recent discussion on the 2027 second-round draft pick tracking involving Titan Ultra and Converge.
To ensure the page remains highly accurate and to avoid any systemic confusion regarding the multi-team trade paths, I have updated the entry with a detailed explanatory footnote under the page's alphabetical Notes section. The note details the exact sequential chronology of Titan's natural asset—traveling from the 2022 Von Pessumal transaction to its return in the December 2023 Robert Bolick trade, and its eventual placement with Converge.
This tracking is fully supported by the official trade ledgers as well as the December 2025 media reports from Spin.ph and the Tiebreaker Times analysis ("Titan Ultra's draft arsenal could make Giant Risers the next Converge"), which explicitly confirmed that Titan traded their own organic pick to Converge in the Paolo Javillonar acquisition while maintaining the other acquired assets (Terrafirma, San Miguel, etc.).
Leaving the trail unmapped causes a mathematical paradox that completely desynchronizes the second-round draft slots for the other teams involved. Explicitly mapping it out maintains the internal consistency of our transaction tables. Thanks for your time, and let's keep working to keep the PBA ledgers accurate! ~~~~ ~2026-36457-16 (talk) 12:03, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
Titan Ultra's draft arsenal could make Giant Risers the next Converge
is not an explicit confirmation. An example of an explicit confirmation is this article by Spin that saysMagnolia acquired ... its own second-round pick next season which went to NorthPort (now Titan Ultra) in the Calvin Abueva trade.
That's explicit. Everything you have been adding is still basically WP:OR to my eyes. I will wait for the official take by the PBA on this. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 13:38, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
