Xenaero already won this thread, but I&#039;ll go down the line anyway.<br /><br />- Franchising is stale.<br /><br />Nope.&nbsp; It let exactly 1 team stay together.&nbsp; Actually, I take that back.&nbsp; Franchising didn&#039;t have anything to do with it, Nero offloading his players just to screw Fast did.&nbsp; So hooray!&nbsp; Issue solved, franchising is great!<br /><br />- Franchising creates super teams.<br /><br />Nope.&nbsp; Slimming the league down to 8 teams creates super teams.&nbsp; We&#039;ll probably do 10 teams next season.&nbsp; I wanted to do 10 teams this season, but whenever I take a break nobody does shit, so it didn&#039;t get done.&nbsp; Sorry.<br /><br />- 3v3 sucks.<br /><br />I agree.&nbsp; If we did 5 player teams we could keep 8 teams too, same difference.<br /><br />- I could&#039;ve remained the captain of FLS.<br /><br />Nope.&nbsp; I don&#039;t owe you faggots anything.&nbsp; When I agreed to captain it was under a very specific set of rules and conditions.&nbsp; I actually got jewed out of 1st pick, but that was alright.&nbsp; Then I did real well in the regular season (because I&#039;m awesome), and got a shitty pick... but I figured, &quot;hey, I can still franchise someone&quot;.&nbsp; Then, after it&#039;s way too late for me to do anything about it and I&#039;m not even around, the board decides to repeal franchising.&nbsp; Awesome, I quit.&nbsp; I refused to have the kind of season Goat&#039;s having now, because that wouldn&#039;t be fun for me.&nbsp; Yeah he&#039;s a bigger man than me, but that&#039;s true for all you faggots too.<br /><br />- MSD would solve anything.<br /><br />Nope.&nbsp; It sucks.<br /><br />- IDL excludes players at all.<br /><br />Nope.&nbsp; The board actually doesn&#039;t dis-invite anyone.&nbsp; Well that&#039;s not true, but over 3 seasons there&#039;s been like, 3 people we specifically didn&#039;t invite.&nbsp; So I mean, sure, we didn&#039;t invite Caboose (who throws games), and yeah we didn&#039;t invite... uh I can&#039;t think of anyone else.&nbsp; So there.&nbsp; Shit, we even invited Dragan back after 7 years of exile.&nbsp; What do you want from us?<br /><br />- Franchising couldn&#039;t have fixed this season, or, all the players this season blow.<br /><br />Franchising means I was the captain of FLS, and LB, Jenova and someone else would split up DMR/BSK/BBC.&nbsp; I would&#039;ve franchised Nostar, and the league would be less stupid.&nbsp; SUC would finally have a reasonable divisional rival in DMR, the WDC would be a little less ridiculous, EBL and DMR wouldn&#039;t have the crappiest 3rds (sorry dew I don&#039;t think you&#039;re crappy but there&#039;s a lot of water between you and us), things would be fine.&nbsp; This is obvious to me, but I&#039;m capable of understanding extremely simple things like the franchising system - mostly because it&#039;s written down on the goddamn website and we&#039;ve been doing it for 3 fucking seasons.&nbsp; Holy shit.<br /><br />And it doesn&#039;t matter if there&#039;s a bunch of rookies this season.&nbsp; We&#039;re all playing with the same players.&nbsp; It&#039;s not like some teams have rookies or players who don&#039;t show up and some don&#039;t.&nbsp; BBC can barely get 3 players on, the internet hates my team, Tai has a couple of rookie-ish players, EBL had a pinger for a while, etc. etc.&nbsp; DMR failed because there was no franchising system to help them get picks to make up for their captain&#039;s admitted lack of skill, EBL failed because there was no franchising system to help them get picks to make up for their captain&#039;s lack of skill.&nbsp; Fortunately DMR&#039;s loss was EBL&#039;s gain, but still.<br /><br />(Also I&#039;m in the same position as Xen and Goat, that&#039;s why I stepped down as captain.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get all mad at me.)<br /><br />- This stuff matters.<br /><br />Nah, it was OK until everyone brought their own personal shit into this thread.&nbsp; Really this season isn&#039;t a big deal, Goat&#039;s being a man about his team and having fun, while saving EBL&#039;s season in the process.&nbsp; I was just making the point that franchising would&#039;ve really, really helped the IDC, but you guys had to whine a bunch about stuff.&nbsp; Well OK, here we are, I&#039;m still right and you guys are still bickering.&nbsp; Thank God I&#039;m in charge.
