Can't win the big games i suppose. Got promoted expansion year after our 1 loss being in the conference championship. Next season in AA we made it to the 2nd round and loss. Promoted once again. 1st season in AAA got our asses handed to us. Season 8 lost to Sons of Anubis 1st round.

I never stated that we are the best but for you to blatantly disrespect my team saying we are not good for being in 1 league for 3 seasons is stupid. We have been in AAA 2 seasons and this will be our 3rd coming up. You will see how competitive this league is in a few days. I have talked with Rev (owner of platypi) throughout the seasons and he is a great dude and runs a great team but damn near all the teams in this league can win on any given day. Just look at the records from season 8.

AAD has always had solid showings and has proven they belong here. Perhaps the Platypi are better, I dont know... but right now AAD is the proven AAA#1 team and seeing as how you both started in the same league and AAD made it here two seasons earlier im going to assume they are the better team. You dont like it, prove us wrong.

Read back and I didn't disrespect your team or say you don't belong in consideration for the tournament or any of that jazz.

On paper you are one of the teams to beat in AAA.

My point is that longevitiy in a league is a flawed proposition for defining ability or respect when the best teams get promoted each season.

The only league in which longevitiy can be seen as a definition of respect and success is in the pros.

We have been here 2 seasons. How many seasons were you in A and AA? It took us 1 to get out of both.

This has nothing to do with AAD vs Platypi. They may very well be better. It's about the statement that X number of seasons in a league gives you respect. Move along.

Thanks Keller. I tried to tell him you have to earn it up here and i guess my team is shit because we are still here. Oh well.

I was in AA one season with the Platypi, regardless I haven't said the Platypi are better than AAD so the comparison is a moot point.

I was in AA one season with the Platypi.


Congrats.

No one said your team is shit. You're the overly-defensive fellow that's getting all worked up over it. Did I hit a sore spot or something?

Yes, very much so. Lol. I don't like people talking about my team. It's the only time i start to talk shit in posts. If you beat us then i would shut my mouth but until then worry about winning some games up here.

As I said before, I haven't actually said anything bad about your team. Nor have I said the platypi are better than you.

If you can quote me otherwise feel free.

All I did was write a post about how the platypi would prove we belong (and thanking ya'll for a little extra motivation =p), to which you launched in to this whole respect spiel and flung around the faulty logic about being here multiple seasons.

Your logic is flawed, not your team - who as I stated, should be a favourite.

Fine with me.

After your quote about platypi would prove you belong i responded by stating you have to earn the respect up here.

To which you stated it's not a good thing being in a league for 3 seasons. Directed towards my team.

I am done. Good luck this season. You guys do have a great looking team. We actually scrimmaged each other in season 8.

PHP was in A#1 for 1 season and AA #1 for 1 season and was fortunate enough to win both leagues despite being in one of the toughest expansion leagues ever Africa A#1 and the next season being outleveled by 10 since we kept the same agents. This is our third season here and we may be here a bit longer as we have refused to ditch our agents to recruit in lvl 50's. I am not ashamed that we are still here in the least. I mean we lost 7 games last season by less than a score and beat were the only team to beat the league champions who outleveled us by a lot. We may have a similar season or get throttled or do really well. Who knows with all the changes.

The fact the promotion system is flawed and basically forces you to gut to continue to be successful is troubling but a challenge for us. Would I lobby to play in this tournament? nah. I would gladly accept an invite to play in it tho as it is nice to be called a superb team in such a tough league.

Thanks and good luck to all this season,

Patrick
