Now, you guys want to act like this because my players stated their opinions.
Its all good. We won't be here long.
No, that is not where the problem arose. You started off on a bad foot boasting about the oodles of players that you are signing left and right. Ok, I guess I can kind of understand that as trying to spark a competitive conversation but after a while it got old and annoying. Then when you lost to the Monkeys you tried to dismiss that as just not having enough depth. Then, when the Parrots beat you, the claim now is that you had a "small" AI tweak that caused the problem. Again, no tipping your hat to the victor without mitigating factors. I think that's why some of my players got a little lippy after the win. Whether you realize that or not that implies bad sportsmanship. And maybe it was unintended and just was an unhappy side effect to you trying to get your team better.
Is there still a path for league relationship salavage? Sure, I'd like to think so. You have a good team and seem to take quite the interest in GLB. That's common ground. We all are trying our best. But you should understand no one likes a sore winner. Dismissing a win by a team because of said A or B trivial thing is disrespectful to your opponent. Bragging about all the level bazillon players you are supposedly signing is also, disrespectful. If you'd like to be part of the community here then I think that'd be a worthwhile endeavor. I told you why I used to like WE A #2. I think it can be that way again. But we never smack talked about raping another team. Guy, that's just not cool talk and it isn't a funny joke. That was your player that said that and thus you are accountable for said actions.
Anyways, if you want to spend the rest of the season arguing with us and looking forward to getting out of here well, that's your choice. If you'd like to take a different path and try to be part of this league then I'd like to think that is something some might try to do. At least, I'd give it a shot with you if you were making a real effort. But it really is up to you.
Alright, I never intended any of the "excuses" as bad sportsmanship, and when we lost I did tip my hat, check the threads.
I never wanted anything to get this bad, but once I start getting called out, I got a little pissed.
