X factor DE and I will be happy again.


I'm not trying to screw anyone... But your comments about the APL as a whole were pretty rough man.
But we are taking heat for a team that Merged... and one that disbanded... ???? I'm over it.

I've played in the WL as well on Bonn. There are several teams and agents I like in WL but the vocal few in the forums were enough to ruin what was otherwise a great season. The Bonn folks are awesome and we were a competitive team, but I did not enjoy the WL forums at all. Following that season I brought my dots back to APL.

I grew up in Africa and worked our way up with TLGOT. I always enjoyed Africa and it was at its finest with LOL as the elite team and all of us working hard to compete with them and several others that could win any particular game. However I just retired 58k work of dots and I don't have a dog in this fight anymore. Truthfully the APL has changed as well.

We were all frankly torn about what to do but generally decided that if we made it by making the Championship game we would not turn down the invite, but if we lost to DD that we would stay in APL. Either way, I'm along for the ride and will support RJ either way. I am infinately more loyal to my owners than Bort or the GLB community at large.


Well said. I remember when the APL forums were filled with classy owners and agents. Those were fun days to be sure...

One of the APLers I have always had a lot of respect for.

Dominate with my 20 returning dots! lmao... again... Why aren't you recruiting your ass off right now? I have been for 2 weeks now... Maybe that's why some teams (and team owners) are better then others (or they just merge)?

One of the few teams I did see recruiting was the African Fever... I really hope they do well.

not calling him a prick really. i dont believe he is. i just think the decision to stay in a league where winning is easy as opposed to going to a league where you belong is a weak move. i was merely responding to you calling me a prick for voicing my opinion here. maybe you want to have fun, but you still need to see it from the perspective of everybody else who actually values competition. you guys don't have much if any competition here.

I have been in Africa since my team was in the Africa A expansion. We made it to the pros a few seasons back and I have not come across any real assholes. I mean there have been some heated debates and small fights over stupid stuff. I have not been the most active owner in the APL forum but I do read it alot. And from what I have read Steve is a good guy. I also know him through some other teams that we both happen to be associated with and he is a stand up guy. RJ seems to be the same way. They made there decisions and they are theres to make if we agree with them or do not.

So lets move on, you can only know what a person is going through so much on an online game. Unless you know these people outside of the game yu really do not know everything. So, it is very hard to judge people by a decision that they made on a game.

Wow I guess I said enough

You didnt screw me, nobody screwed me or my team. You did us a favor tbh. But you DID SCREW UP MY OFF SEASON YOU BASTAGES.

See, I am torn here. I am happy to still be in a competitive league, and not in APL on cruise till the playoffs. OTOH I dont really agree with declining the opportunity to be in the most competitive league period. Its not about forums to me, its about what I get out of the dots. Watching 90+ point victories is for my lolminor teams, not my Pro team. I am in enough forums to chat it up and honestly the APL forums havent been the best example of "good" since LOL left.

But everyone has their own description of fun. I just know right now, If I had told my team in the same position half would want a release because they want to see their dots against the best.

I do not blame DD at all, they had a legit reason for doing what they did, /salute Para. Pirates have been on the verge for two seasons, hell I dont think they even boosted everyone this season. DESWK was old and not prepared so they get a pass for not going up with a gutted team and screwing the league up.

I guess I just expected more from the last 2 true historically top APL teams. But like you both said, you dont owe anything to anyone but your agents and thats really all that matters.

Answer Please...yikes

And the continent settles into peace for the evening as 31 of the 32 teams prepare for the Season 13 playoffs. We all know ABD won't make it.

Sleep well Africa.

Honestly hays23, we game planned EVERY game this season. Even the "easiest" game on our schedule we game planned for. The Sea Wolves made me nervous all season... one of the "Worst Teams" just had a tough season... they could have turned it on at any time tbh... just couldn't figure out what was wrong. I should know, I looked over the team for Palmer...

This season, like I said is totally different... your teams were a bit younger then some of the top teams. No us "top teams" are in the same boat as you... replacing +20 players/player agents (that didn't have players leveled up enough to join the Rhinos this season).


Pmuch every team in the WL is doing the same thing, with the exception of like 5.
