I think if the board can get 2 veteran captains just by allowing captains to pick their team names, they&#039;re<br />[center][b][size=7][color=red]COMPLETELY RETARDED[/color][/size][/b]<br />[/center]not to do so.&nbsp; I have 2 reasons for this:<br /><br />- There are at least 3 captain spots that need to be filled this season.<br />- We already have below-average captains like Legion &amp; Nautilus filling spots.&nbsp; Strangle &amp; Clim&#039;s records aren&#039;t great either.<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />I have another good argument, and it&#039;s that individual captains or players came up with 5/12 of the current team names anyway, and they&#039;re arguably the best ones:<br /><br />&nbsp; - Killing Browns (Blair&#039;s alias for a while)<br />&nbsp; - Spread Eagles<br />&nbsp; - Berserker Packers<br />&nbsp; - Flag Steelers<br />&nbsp; - Sexual Panthers<br /><br />Here are the ones the board came up with:<br /><br />&nbsp; - Techno Vikings<br />&nbsp; - Electric Bills<br />&nbsp; - Super Chargers<br />&nbsp; - Doom Raiders<br />&nbsp; - Demonic Colts<br />&nbsp; - Brokeback Cowboys<br />&nbsp; - Fnordy Niners<br /><br />So the board&#039;s track record really isn&#039;t that good at all.&nbsp; Hooray Super Chargers and maybe Doom Raiders.&nbsp; Boooooo all those other shitty names (Brokeback Cowboys, wtf...).<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />[quote author=dew link=topic=517.msg4913#msg4913 date=1317981826]<br />it&#039;s also kinda hilarious how people have a magical cure for everything - equally skilled, dedicated and responsible caps (and booting strangle to achieve that), when it&#039;s pretty obvious we&#039;ll struggle to find 12 candidates at least as good as strangle.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />If you shut the hell up, this might be easier:<br /><br />[quote author=dew link=topic=528.msg5327#msg5327 date=1321045970]<br />weak minded faggots. do they know that even with custom team names we wouldn&#039;t allow them to pick &#039;ass-action yiffers&#039; or &#039;cool warriors&#039;? people who stomp their feet and threaten to not play if their demands aren&#039;t met are free to not play.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />::)<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />Finally, the arguments the board is making are really goddamn terrible.&nbsp; If they can simultaneously fill 2 captain spots and raise the average captain skill level, then it&#039;s clearly in the league&#039;s interest.&nbsp; This trumps things like:<br /><br />&nbsp; - I don&#039;t like this idea<br />&nbsp; - I like the current names<br />&nbsp; - Logos are important<br /><br />Seriously.&nbsp; The league does not belong to you.&nbsp; It is not yours.<br /><br />[hr]
