I must admit that I was surprised that RT joined the oinks. He seemed more of the type to take on the challenge of taking down the top team in the land as opposed to just jumping on their ship.

In Jakarta's defense (not that he needs it for sure), he posted a thread in the PLfT forum about quite a few players that were looking for teams to play on. He was never set on coming to the Legionnaires. As a matter of fact, I recruited him, chugga, soapbox, and the rest of our FA signings, for 2+ weeks, with 100 pms or so (?) being exchanged. They all had concerns about joining the Legs. I gave them all forum access, well b4 the playoffs started, and all the way thru the playoffs. I'm glad they chose to play on our team, as they have not only brought great players to the roster, but they've been great on the forums as well. So to think RT or any of them PMd me and said "hey, can we join your team" is really naive. I worked my ass off recruiting them.
I hope this answers some Qs, majech (although from what I've seen you're pretty much siding with SheVegas across the board on this). I can take screenshots of the PMs I sent hokiemon that made sure time and time again that he'd sign all of our players.
You really don't believe that, when I say we're in it to be together as friends, I mean just that, do you? You think I care about this game?
I made 3-4 PMs asking the same question to Hokiemon pretty much (mostly concering Chevis Jackson's playing time as well as making sure that everyone was signed before I'd join).
I didn't sign with other teams because they didn't meet all of the following:
-Competitive team
-Would take (and get 30+ reps for) players from all of us (I fielded over 20 offers personally)
-Great gameplanning
-Active
I mean sure we had offers that met some of it, but not all. There was only one other team I considered but my friend didn't want to join it so we all didn't want to. It was just the right fit.
Now listen, I really don't want to get caught up in taking sides. I really would prefer being friends with everyone here. If you don't like me and don't want to, then that's cool. Just tell me to fuck off. I don't dislike ANYONE here. You can say whatever you want about me, to me, or whatever.
