Watching round 3 against shenanigans seems unreal - there is no video on youtube, past or present - there is no team any of us have ever played for - pre or post changes - that has ever matched that pace.

This team has come a long ******* way from the first week we were back, trading games with Exile. I honestly thought we'd be more like usedtobegood - we'd come back, never practice, squeak out sloppy wins and laugh about it. Never did I imagine we'd put this much energy into CoH again - Never did I think we'd actually practice, roll toons, be online - never did I foresee Vinnie actually writing match commentaries for more than two weeks consecutively, and certainly, never did I see us making the Earth/Fire vision into a reality.

We obviously have a three week hiatus until playoffs, due to CC's advance forfeit (I really wanted Gfunny and Bud to show us how the big dogs roll on Champion too).

I'll cut to the chase. Playoffs. We will be voting to keep the current system. This is a conclusion we, as a team, came to just before last Sunday's games against Shenanigans.

While many of us wouldn't mind seeing a best of 5 single elimination system, the longer match nights could put a strain on some of our schedules, and that's a feeling felt by other teams we've talked to concerning the matter.

We don't support attempts at a best of 3 single elimination system, mainly because of the arguments being brought forth in it's promotion, and because of the intentions of some of it's supporters.

A common dissent with the current system is:

"If the current system is kept we'd have to sweep WARE to have a chance at winning"

We don't see any issue with this, as we've swept every team we've fought thus far, and we plan to sweep every team in playoffs.

I realize that I may potentially catch flack for this vote, as this vote statistically benefits my team, and is only in favor of one imperfect system over yet another imperfect system. The people who should be catching flack are the ones who were adamantly opposed to a best of 3 elimination system until we took a fat dump on everyone and made a mockery out of this league.

If you are one of the select few who may attempt bring my integrity under fire over this, please remember that I disqualified a team over a typo in lineup submission once, and thus: I don't care. What benefits my team infinitely more than the vote I've cast is the roster that Vinnie posted.

We will continue to do what our name suggests - no matter the playoff system. And to any team that, at the end of this league, believes they deserved to beat us: we will play you whenever we are able, as long as we continue to play.

Good luck to everyone in playoffs, and with the remainder of their regular season matches. We look forward to practicing with you all in the meantime.

Psypunk's posts were A LOT larger, and usually featured references about his punk rock band.

I keep waiting for someone to develop something along these lines and I keep being disappointed. Maybe Hi-Rez will get one of the Tribes games their developing right....
