Warrior General Games

Maybe we should have an informal original Lion A5 reunion with a tournament. We'd have the Ratels, Empire, Mosquitos, Fever, Park Rangers and Silverbacks
Gone are Alexandria, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Glocks, Djiboiti and someone I'm missing.

one of the biggest problems is with all the switching around, the rivalries are missing. we used to have roughly the same teams, but now some fold to start over and the ones moved in are from all over rather than the former Africa A. maybe it will get better up in AAA but i think long standing rivalries may be much harder to come by in the future.

Boo hoo, I wonder if Jane will like me from HIgh School? Seriously, the reason why there aren't any rivalies it's because they weren't good enough to be owners. Just get promoted and move on. Win a world trophy or something.

I'm sure we'll get some rivals going once the season gets underway, and we have things like MVP races, seeding, etc.. or we can simply create some

Empire and Rangers still have an anual Rivalry dating all the way back to the time Fat Danny is speaking of. Much respect for Empire from Rangers.

And for the Silverbacks. Hopefully you can meat back up with us. Though Bushman are hoping to make a name as well.

dude, i seriously don't understand what your talking about. evidently you haven't had the rivalries we had like we had with ghana, the ratels, quicama and others in lion over the years. those rivalries took a couple seasons to develop. we grew up with them. we respected them and you built your team to compete with them. you hated losing to some of these guys, but you wouldn't want to play in any other conference because when you did win, you knew what it meant and it was worth the effort.

lion was a very tough conference the last few years. getting promoted is very tough. ask ericm of ghana the empire and he will attest to it. all the teams that won this conference the last three season only stay in AAA two years. they make the AAA playoffs the first year up and the championship the next. then off to pro.

it's not that winning here would not be an achievement against some really good teams, we just don't have any history with most of them. i am not looking at the schedule and thinking "ooh, i hate those guys" or "we gotta finally beat so and so this season."

Yep this league has had lots of history. The Lion Conference dominated most of the time with lots of teams that were built to promote but due to all the competition they kept each other down and created long term rivalries. Now the 2nd wave of teams have started to show some promise along with some newer teams. This should be a more entertaining league as teams promote.

Good luck everybody. I am hoping this will be Elephants season.
