[quote author=Ralphis link=topic=762.msg7889#msg7889 date=1354969832]<br />I&#039;m in a rush and didn&#039;t have time to read your whole post, but I did get to the point where you immediately misconceived my comments about people like Jenova and Chewy not being important. In terms of league history and how things DID happen, yes they are important. However, if Jenova hadn&#039;t signed up those two seasons there would&#039;ve been two other masterbowl winning captains. If Chewy didn&#039;t play in the seasons he did, somebody else would&#039;ve had his roster spot.<br /><br />Historically, as far as played games and legacy go, these players are definitely important. As far as the league not being able to exist without them for each of their respective seasons, I&#039;ll contend that notion.<br /><br />Will check out your post more later<br />[/quote]<br /><br />Before you do, I should clarify that the comments in regards to Jenova and Chewy aren&#039;t meant to imply that the league wouldn&#039;t exist without them. Certainly they are important historically and are influential players because of their abilities and what they&#039;ve accomplished making them models for new players to mold their games around. But with our without them, the league would have still continued. <br /><br />But given that they committed the time time and effort they did for the seasons they played in (albeit Jenova actually only played in three seasons), their time, like any other player was important. I simply mentioned them as significant players based on what they&#039;ve accomplished in the IDL and the fact that new players look to build their skill up to that level of play.<br /><br />But we agree, there is no contention that they are important in terms of the league&#039;s legacy given their accomplishments.<br /><br />And before you continue on, I want to make it clear that we both want the same thing here: what&#039;s best for the league. Sure, we can have disagreements about how to make it the best product it could possibly be but at the end of the day, the IDL being successful and prosperous is something we both want.
