Guĺhan Taotaomo'na I Mwarmwar Onra


A mwarmwar is a circular lei wreath made of flowers and worn on the head in Micronesian culture. The Guĺhan Taotaomo'na Wreath of Honor is for those players who are recognized as among the best that ever played at their position in the Guĺhan Taotaomo'na franchise history, taking into account both longevity of service and performance. The team may add younger players to the Taotaomo'na I Mwarmwar Onra when performances eclipse that of those of the enshrined.

The following are the inaugural members of I Mwarmwar Onra, enshrined following Season 30 to mark the 16th Anniversary of the franchise.

1) this thread a way for the owner to acknowledge and thank agents who have participated over the past four years (RL)...your attempts to troll take away from that. again, if you have a problem with me or my team either contact me or, if you dare, report us.
2) we've had this discussion before. in forums and in PMs. you just don't seem to recall. to refresh your memory. GT have played at times in underground RLU and ILOF leagues. in those leagues, the regular games become like scrimmages and scrimmages become the real games. on occasion the AI for bort-league games, particularly regular games between two different RLU teams like the one you linked, was set up to either test something or at the very least shield the real AI (which was used only in scrimmage games). i challenge you to find a ranked scrimmage where this so-called "tanking" occurs.

Mod can re-lock this as it will be several seasons before we need to update again.

yeah, sure

And Team Press Releases is a public forum, not a private forum. I find it ridiculous that you don't anyone posting in your thread in a public forum and want mods to lock the thread every time you're through posting in it.
