This mentality drives me nuts. You DID earn the right. 31-1 the last two seasons and Conference runners-up this season. To be honest here, I think it's a cop out. You guys are the only team still around that could represent APL for Elephant with a chance at actually sticking. Instead, you're choosing to have some team that is going to get railed up there and be yet another joke from the APL.

Who is going to WL from APL? Anyone?
Nope, we are not going either Hokie. I feel the same as RJ... I want to earn the right to go back. Our last loss makes me feel like we have unsettled business in the APL. On top of that, I enjoy the APL.
On a side note... No, I'm not trying to drive GMathiasf mentally nuts.

hahaha... The WL isn't ready for Vegas!
I do think that, if the conference winners decline the WL offer, Bort should give the option to the teams already in the WL (representing that region) the choice if they want to stay or not. Then go down the list...

I'm not the one choosing, DD won and decided to go another route not the GRiTs, so this is on them. I have made many posts in the past about hating the fact that teams have been placed in upper leagues without winning so I am not going to be a hypocrite now that we have a chance to be moved up when we didn't win our league. Call it what you want, but when we go to WPL it will be because we won the APL Elephant.

On us? It's on you for not beating us. I've known for 6+ months that this would be our last season, not our fault you guys couldn't hang!

I think it came out wrong Para... I think he meant it was on you whether you wanted to go or not... they shouldn't have to do anything cause of your choice.
No biggie... nothing to argue about.

It didn't come out wrong at all, DD won APL and decided to merge with another team. They are the ones responsible for representing APL, not the GRiTs, we lost! They made their decision so if GM has an axe to grind go cry on Para's shoulder. As far as hanging with DD, I think we have shown we can do that, I just can't figure out how to stop this play:

I stand corrected!
Yeah... the LE lining up over the RG makes it tough.

Wow, crazy to think my team is possibly headed to World League when we can't come close to competing with the talent on GRiTS, DD or even the Pirates. I'm not sure how I even feel about this, as the Warlords are going through a ton of retirements and player turnover this offseason. 0-16 in WL is very probable given all the young talent we have lined up. I'll have to discuss with my GMs, but I may not even be willing to move up to WL just to get our asses kicked 16 times and get sent back to APL. If my season 12 roster was still intact I'd probably do it just for the experience, but we lost 19 players to retirement.
RJSSOB - Is beating up on every team in APL en route to a season 13 gold trophy worth more to GRiTS than playing in World League against equivolent talent for one or two seasons while your players are still in their prime? I don't understand going 31-1 over two seasons in APL and running away from an opportunity to move up to WL. You've proven yourself here in APL... while the Season 13 APL Gold Trophy would be nice, sounds like you guys are afraid of WL competition.

how many times did that happen in the game? how is it that nobody covered WR2?

I am still in shock, but it is what it is. And that Season 13 trophy isnt going to be any easier next season than it was this season.
