Go read the note to Grits. You guys are worse. You were in WPL. You were undefeated last season. Declining promotion is a bitch move. I hope you enjoy your 16-0 season.

me too. my posts are not meant to be an attack on him. we are all competitive here (with the exception of shevag i think), and that's what irks me. ive spent 8 seasons moving my team from 13-cap A league team up to the pros. i was at a disadvantage the entire way. i didn't have 'join a pro team' to fall back on when recruiting. it's been a struggle. my goal is to get my team to the point where we can win playoff games in this league and earn a promotion. WWR is light years ahead of us. they've gone undefeated in APL. they've won APL titles. they've played in WPL. and apparently they don't care to play in the best league (forums aside, WPL is the most competitive league there is). all i see is 'we have more fun winning all of our games against teams that don't really stand a chance'. that bothers me, so i posted as much.

Can we just re-sim DD/GRitS and WWR/DSWK and let the other teams win and all will be right in the world?

Just kind of makes our whole league look pretty pathetic when all our top teams decline promotion. 
APL will now be the laughing stock of the forums for seasons to come. Oyy

We are petitioning for an X beside our name in the league list, we don't want the Africa symbol.
Dakar Dragons, who has in the last season or 2 become synonymous with APL thanks to their recent success even hates us now. Not looking good for us at all

Truth is... your a victim of the system. Going from a 13-CAP league to Pro with out even winning a Conference Championship shouldn't even happen. No wonder why your at a disadvantage to other teams... You shouldn't even have a Pro Title. When teams outside of the APL say "APL SUCKS"... they are talking about teams like yours... I'm not even trying to be rude (like you are), you just need to realize what's up.
Honestly, I don't mind you being here as long as you want to be here... but to come up here and bitch like this when you haven't won ANYTHING at ANY phase of the entire game is a joke man. Seriously.

The only truth is, WWR and Grits had the option to choose where they want to play next season
People can think about their decision whatever they want, but both teams played by the rules of GLB
So don't hate the player - hate the game

Agreed....Despite what you may think of their "decisions" and how it impacted the image/future recruiting abilities of the entire African league tree, the game is structured so that it was within their abilities to select that option. It flat out shouldn't have been an option, period.

Bullshit. You think its easy recruiting for a Pro team that hasn't won anything in its existence? (Cairo Emperors) >_>
We've all had problems recruiting. Its no easier for WWR than it is for you.

Agreed. The biggest moran in all of this is Bort. He's the guy who implemented the WL system - and then when the system works as he designed it he incites an angry mob.
To everyone worried about what people in WL think - get a life. When APL gets a team that wins a WL title we'll earn rep. Until then suck it up and work harder. Being swayed by mob mentality is weak sauce.

For anyone that blames me for having a tougher time recruiting, sorry, that was wasn't in my intentions at all.
Its been tough for a long time to get agents to come to the APL. That's why I've kept some of my dots in the APL when we went to the WL... They aren't the best dots in the game by an means... but I know how tough it is to recruit. I'm doing it now. I send out 100s of feelers to agents about their players and joining the APL... I might get 2 or 3 agents for every 60-100 PMs. The ones that do join the Rhinos usually stay and end up liking Africa... I've just had guys retire that have been with me since Season 4 (when I got the team).
Africa can be a great place to be... at least it was before we went to WL...
