We are well aware and are going to give them everything we can. We are expecting a tough game and it should be close.

The gnomes is one of my favorite names in the league actually. I'm a little surprised that was the default name. Very cool.

I think it was coll how we picked our name the Whitechaple Rippers, we had a team vote, me name the Munich Motherfuckers didn't win, I was crushed. It is a SWEET name though.

The issue being being delt with via PM now, and there is no need for it to be public now.

Actually, the real reason is that your team decided to copy our team name, steal our logo, then send angry PMs claiming that I was the one who ripped them off.

I sent a PM to the owner, but he decided to read my PM and ignore my request for him to change the logo (the similar team names doesn't bother me as much). As such, I am going public.

The other owner and I talked about the email you sent him today. Honestly no idea what you are talking about. If you want me to copy the entire thread in our forum to show you our process of picking our team name I can do that. Do you really think someone would just go and search for one they like and copy everything about it. Or do you think the fact that it is a high profile story and there are a shit load of teams on this beta game, that maybe by coincidence two people were thinking on the same line. Wow, let's blow up about it though!!

And by the way, who sent you angry PM's (user id please)? I didn't even know the story, the team and logo came from someone else on the team. I just wrote in the forum the reasoning behind our name.

You have got to be kidding me! Stole your logo? Thousands of teams on here and we stole your logo? Get off of it. Furthermore how do we know when you adopted the logo! We had many different team names, and logos suggested by players and we voted on it! We did not copy anything from you! Out of all the teams in Western Europe did you think you would be the only one to think of Jack the Ripper? I,m willing to suggest changing the logo to our team but it will not happen until the off season. We have more important things to do right now!!

Who has the time to look through other leagues forums?? Steal the logo... who cares?? It's just s stain on the xml page anyway.

I have no affiliation with either of your teams and I'd just rather the AA'er go back to his own league forums. I mean, did you really think any of us would care? Blah, and yes I know by responding to this I'm just furthering the spam. Whatever, will ignore further posts, but thanks for ruining a 'Why did you name your team _________' thread.

Next time maybe grow a set and post your own thread instead of ruining one of ours.

I'm going to swallow my pride and make a public apology instead of taking the cowards way out and slipping away.

I shouldn't have hijacked this thread. This is definitatly not the place for drama.

I shouldn't have ever taken this public, because all that happens are flame wars.

I shouldn't have made accusations, especially publically, without knowing all the facts.

I made the inital post when I was still irritated at being mistakingly accused of ripping them off myself, and I showed very poor judgement and temperment.

It won't happen again.

That is a pretty classy move. IMO people don't apologize for making an error on forums. They just keep blaming others and starting more fights.

Thank You, Agreed classy move on your part. Let's put this one to rest. Playoffs going on right now, I am sure Owners would much rather be doing something to better their chance to move forward.

Apology Exepted, not many people take your route - Again thanks.
