both our scrimmages sent were private. we just wanted to test some stuff.

if you had accepted, regardless of winner we'd never talk to you guys. other than maybe thanks for the scrim.

so we just thought we'd have fun talking some smack. by the look of things, it's probably the highlight of this league. you guys really screwed over everybody with your team... hope you're proud.

I would wish you guys luck... but you don't even need it. We earn our wins at Utah... we have no SSB players yet we can play with the best. Level-for-level... you won't find better teams than ours. But sadly we need to find the cheat'n SSB teams at our level to evaluate our team.

I guess we'll look for a L26 team.

As posted several times in this forum, we asked support to move us out of this league before the season started because it wouldn't be fair, yet they would not move us. Secondly, how is SSBing cheating if anyone can do it (well, prior to this season)? Just because we don't play according to your standards doesn't mean it's cheating, it's just a build strategy. If SSBing is cheating, then why isn't boosting cheating? Everyone can do both, but if you don't have the money to boost, then you're screwed. At least with SSBing, you don't have to have any money to be successful in and enjoy this game. Forgive me if I'd rather not pay money to boost my players every season in an effort to win. Bort has pretty much made it that if you don't have a team full of players who boost, you won't win any sort of championship (unless you SSB). But since you can't really SSB anymore, he has succeeded in forcing most teams to boost in order to win. I have better things to spend my money on than GLB.

Seems like I have this same conversation every single season. If SSBing was so bad, it never would have been allowed in the first place.

You know where I stand on this, so I won't re-hash the whole argument. But I did want to address this one point.

Bort did not disallow it from the beginning because he never in a million years envisioned that users would create players and rot them for 5 seasons (unless they went inactive, at which point they wouldn't be training).

If it's on the up and up, why are rules being put in place to kill it? Why are you always having to explain yourself? It's kind of the old "lipstick on a pig" saying. Only in this case, replace the pig with a douchebag.

Rules were put in place to kill it because those teams don't boost. No boosting and Bort doesn't make any money. If you really think it has anything to do with anything other than money you are kidding yourselves. If Bort really cared about any of the other owners or agents in this league he would have moved our team into one of the elite leagues when we asked before the season started.

Bullshit. There will ALWAYS be players that don't pay, and if that bothered Bort he wouldn't give away flex.

I hope you don't actually believe your own bullshit. He is not killing SSB teams. He is restoring competitive balance to the game by realigning leagues and putting SSB teams in leagues where the other teams have equal skill point value. You guys will get to keep playing for free. You just aren't going to be beating up on much younger teams anymore.

You don't get it and never will. It's about the practice of SSB itself. You don't want to pay to boost OK, fine. So why should people like me who do pay to boost have to subsidize you. Without boosters and flex purchasers, this game would have died a year ago.

On an unrelated note. How about a little wager for our game. I'm not saying we'll beat your level 35 players. What I am saying is I think we can hang at least 20 points on you. No one else has. You hold us under 20, I'll sell my team. We score 20 you guys sell your team and retire your players. You haven't shown any balls to this point this season. Now's your chance to grow a pair.

Banks caused a global crisis because noone foresaw the greed and idiot factor that they would use in their business practices. Just like Bort never foresaw morons spending multiple seasons to dominate low level leagues.
There will always be jackasses that take advantages of every system and become the cause for ruination of things for their peers and numerous rules to be applied to prevent it again.
Just because you found a loophole doesn't make it right. Its an exploit, simple as that.

You want the game, you got it. Accepted the challenge a few minutes ago. I didn't have any clue who you were when you sent those challenges and frankly, I was getting eaten up flex point wise by the tourneys we were in. Didn't want to waste flex on a scrimmage against a team that wasn't in one of our tournaments. Didn't even know this thread existed until an hour ago. .

Why are you wagering your team on a game that doesn't involve them anyways?

That has to be the most retarded wager I've ever seen. Seriously wanting to bet if you can score 20 points on the Reapers. It's not like your team is garbage. They are certainly capable of scoring 20 on The Reapers. Scoring 20 is no big accomplishment, especially on a Sim that nerfs players on the winning team if the game is getting out of hand.


It's just funny how The Reapers have been attacked all season. It's not like we were being douchebags puffing out our chests talking about how we're gonna blow everyone out this season. We didn't say one word until everyone went on the rag about having a SSB team in their league. Some people just aren't happy unless they have something to complain about. I've been in my fair share of leagues where there were SSB teams. Yeah, it sucks. We actually started the SSB guys because we were tired of getting in leagues with them and figured it was the only way to beat them.

You guys got your wish, SSBing is dead, so you shouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Just suck it up for a few more days. I swear, I've never seen so many cry babies in my life and over a stupid MMORPG. Just be a man about it and get over it. You act like this is life or death or something. If you take this game as seriously as you portray on the forum, I seriously feel sorry for you.

Yes, SSB has been killed. You will not be able to train without being on a team and everyone on a team will get a certain amount of xp from every game. That pretty much eliminates the ability for a team like the Reapers to be duplicated.

Our goal was never to beat up on younger teams. We built this team after running into a few SSB teams in back-to-back seasons. Our goal was to be able to compete with those teams and the teams that, at the time, were able to boost to 6 levels higher than their starting league cap. This was way back in season 7, before all this crybaby crap of how SSB will be the death of GLB.

Now there are new rules in place that will basically stop the SSB process. Do you hear us crying about it? Can't wait to see what all you babies will be crying about next season....
