We must admit that we get a kick out of some of those names down in the "minus" area!

Is it that one in particular Question

You know the one who was going to come and own Aruak City and is merely renting space at the bottom of our career team list Laughing

I still can't believe that he's been so lackluster in his home arena!

I don't think its been lackluster. I think its been biding his time. I am fairly sure he TV'd with 1 of his guys and that spells alot of points in this contest.

You sure do talk big in a place you know he doesn't read. If you're gonna talk trash at least take it to a forum you know he'll read, like the PA's. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe you make your living by talking behind people's backs? Would seem typical.

As far as Aruak goes I believe the only real claim he made was that he would still be there after all the others had left and guess what. He is.

I totally agree. He tourney preps, he's a tourney manager. Thanks to the new freeze system warriors fight to break points and stop. You can't blame anybody for taking that approach any more than you could blame them for doing the opposite.

Aruak City - 11
15/15 THE HEADCUTTERS II (412) 223 244 9 47.8
19/18 NEVERWAKE (508) 55 73 9 43.0

Talcama - 18
5/ 4 THUNDR + LITENING (22) 997 890 122 52.8
21/26 THE GRATEFUL UNDEA (566) 70 99 3 41.4

I know how you always forget to present facts with your idiotic claims so consider this a favor. Funny how Doc Steele is the ultimate target in Aruak and his team is only 4% below yours. He may be renting space down there with you but at least he's getting a discount for being a man.

Since we started this thread, we feel the need to respond a little to some the "whaps" on Street. (Not that he, like most of us, doesn't deserve a whap or two now and then.)

We were not really meaning to "single out" Doc, but his "negative" is certainly one of interest.

Attacking Street for his comments here because Doc chooses not to read/hear them seems unfair. Doc can choose to do so if he wishes. He is a character like any other of us in DM or on the site.

He "claimed" far more than just "being there after others left". It seems true that he didn't deliver in this case. So what? And just "dangling" a character or two there does seem more like "renting space" rather than being in the arena. Street's "play on words" seems much more accurate.

We are glad Doc made all those claims. We would not have been back playing without his stimulation.

Hey, now; it's much closer to 5% Wink

Closer to 5, yes; equal to or greater than, no. Razz

At least I have the balls to say something to Street where I know he can read it and reply. Both of you are really quick to drop slaps on him, while dancing around his name I might add, when he's obviously not here. If you want to talk crap about him 11...take it there. If you want to tease his BR record...take it to 18. Otherwise you're just a big wuss blowing steam.

"Renting space" is a tournament style of play. Get used to it because more and more managers are going over to it, including people who run from arena contest to arena contest, it's just another way to rent space for a time. I respect that you represent 11 well, I respect that you believe in good basic arena play. Other's don't play that way and you should respect that as well, it's not "dangling warriors", it's having different goals than yours. It shouldn't surprise you that people who use 11 for tourney prep do not consider anyone already in the arena when doing so. Bitch about it all you want, it's just not going to change.

We are not so sure why you are intent on the rent idea - he or anyone can rent all they want. S'OK. The thread is about "not walkin' the talk".

On our behalf, this same thread and talk does and is in the DM11 newsletter - so don't imply otherwise.

No gripes about tournament play and method. None at all. It just wasn't what was advertised.

Sorry

My apologies. I didn't realize you guys discussed people's Talcama Battle Royal records in Arena 11. My mistake.

I'm sorry you didn't get what you wanted from your Doc Steele Invasion Packet 2000. Perhaps you can write to the company for a full refund?

Not walkin' the talk...that exactly what Street Legal was doing when he started running his mouth about Doc Steele in a medium that he knows Doc Steele isn't tuned to. This thread is about the arena 18 contest. It's not about the arena 11 conflict that Street Legal constantly brings up as if it were some huge Andorian Revolution in which he was one of the major players in.
