goody frowns on you

Post by Goodygumdrops »

at first i wasn't too bothered by the team switch

but the utter lack of remorse is troubling

if the responsible parties don't know what they did was wrong (their behaviour indicates they want us to believe this) then what's to stop something like this happening again?

sure a rule...but they can just find a new way to exploit the system

is punishment necessary to deter future would-be bad behavers?

edit: oops, can a mod move this to competition section, please?
Well...I did.

There are two topics about this already and probably more to come so this isn't really neccesary. I do agree we need a voting for the next ladle, again, though.

I care less. Hence, my post. Sorry, didn't think I had to make it even more obvious.

The whole "team switching places in the bracket" thing has happened before. Rico swapped |x| with some other team so they could be on the easier side of the bracket without asking the team that he swapped. It was frowned on then and this behavior is still frowned on now.

If the teams hadn't been switched, SP would have been playing a fresh CT team rather than one that had just gone through 2 grueling matches vs. TX.

For historical purposes I say we call it Ladle 36* (with an asterisk).

Yea and I guess we opted to play an easier team. Seriously when was TX ever a challenge? GTFO. Who the **** thinks we swapped to make things easier for ourselves? We done it purely to send KOD/IB ect home packing early. Enough with your stupid claims. Stick to the obvious.

The ladles, and bowl tx has won weren't a challenge? Even before the combination, both tr and x were definitely considered challenges. We were even a challenge to you when sp had its 3 ladle winning streak. We won one match 100-26 or something like that. That wasn't challenge enough for you? I didn't really give a shit about the switch until you decided to redirect the flame in our direction.

This is exactly why that poll will be skewed. Too much bias.

Yes, you didn't, but two or three of your members do and their argument is that we didn't get a chance to play TX and that meant everything. Not to me.

Well, of course not, you were more worried about winning.

Looks like someone ego is so big that it's blocking his vision; he can't even see the truth.

To say we've never been a challenge is first of all not true and secondly very rude and harsh. Even if we completely sucked, which I believe we don't (someone back me up on this please), you still shouldn't come out and say that.

I never really had a lot of respect for you, but now you've taken it too far.

However, despite all of this, I"m just letting you know (Flex), that I voted against banning you.

durka, what flex said is really no worse than what goody said. plus and ww both are good clans too, im not defending the switch, but there isnt much of an arguement it was easier for us in my eyes.

also since when is it tough sitting 4 hrs a computer ;), you dont need that much endurance to sit up and press keys!

oh and ill back you up and say you dont suck

edit: plus is not a clan, rrather a team

:D I disagree!

There is a light-hearted joke about your defense and the lack of work it involves, but I'm not feeling clever enough to deliver it without sounding mean-spirited. :P
