First and foremost, I will be cappy for Tubbers clean matches and will maintain the regularly scheduled Tubber/poet matches as we have always had in the past, on or off whatever version of a ladder is introduced.

Secondly, poets collectively, more than anyone else, taught me how to play clean (much to LS' chagrine at times LOL) RR, yes... but in matches as well. That was my exposure to good clean play. I became a better player, people around me became better players and there is a trickling down effect. That's good for the game. I never would have "run into" poets had you been off the ladder and I think by doing that you will limit your exposure and the possibility of finding another team or two that you could have fun with and play competitively with. I think that if you isolate yourselves, people will eventually move on. You can always ignore the stats. There are teams out there who play limited schedules with teams they enjoy and don't care if they're ranked highly or not.

Lord it's late. Like Mo, I reserve the right to add to this later on.

No matter what you choose to do, it will have no impact on your involvement with the Tubbers. I personally plan on being around at team functions (LOL) and theme nights and fun games as scheduled. I believe the Rock and I have some kind of title to defend come Hallowe'en. LOL Exclusionary and and elitist attitudes did not serve other exTA players well and you will be seen in that same light I think.

I love that I can feel comfortable saying these things and feel like I have a real stake in this team.
