You and capo are the 2 Musketeers.<br /><br />[quote]What was Kilgore right about?[/quote]<br />There was a player who used to be banned on the master list with the reason: you reap what you sow.<br /><br />He&#039;s just saying that expression is correct. Also it&#039;s a known fact that Kilgore hates potatoes.<br />==============================================<br /><br />All I have to say in the matter is that the role of the dedicated players of the past shouldn&#039;t be trivialized. If the league didn&#039;t have all those players who showed up to games, practiced daily and put in effort to have a great season, then the league would have piss poor seasons. Hate and I had this hardcore work ethic during season 9 that enabled us to have really good games and ultimately we made it to the playoffs with a player who wasn&#039;t even a doomer (Higgs). If we had half-assed the season, there wouldn&#039;t have been the close games vs Star&#039;s TKV, the 5 round playoff match vs SUC on map28, or just the two of us vs BBC on 31 where they couldn&#039;t score a flag going all o for those 50s. These examples are just 1 season between 2 players so you can imagine the amount of stories over the entire league&#039;s history.<br /><br />Yes, it&#039;s true Jenova only captained for 1 year and won both times. But if you were to remove Jen from those seasons, what player from Free Agency would have been a suitable substitute in terms of skill and dedication? Probably no one. Mike hasn&#039;t played since season 10 and often gets ridiculed for it. However, he made a contribution to the league as both a top notch player and a productive board member. To say neither of these guys weren&#039;t of much importance is a vast understatement. Of course there are exceptions such as noshow Coll or BailStrike who haven&#039;t been dedicated or have put in effort since 1997.<br /><br />I&#039;ll agree with Ralph, players are replaceable. But those who put in their time and effort into making the league as competitive as possible either as a captain or a starter are not so easily replaced. There&#039;s nothing wrong with building up new players, but don&#039;t act like the players who are exiting stage left had no use whatsoever. Those who stood out from the crowd helped the league be a success over the years.
