I have had players in this league for the last three seasons and have ignored most of the posts however, I think some things need to be set straight here. Sure feel free to flame me.
A conglomeration of my posts:
The point of the game is enjoyment. This team enjoyed being together and the previous owner had problems in real life because of his ownership. As transferring the team to GMs is prohibited and the owner needed to leave he set up all players as FA. As FAs each player made a willing choice to go where they wanted which was to stay together(Because this is what they enjoyed). GLB has rules in place not allowing people to transfer ownership and thus left the old team up to a gamble.
Honestly I could care less what happened to EEPL, this is a game and is mean to be fun. Bengal was having issue in his personal life due to ownership and should not be forced to own a team and still feel that responsibility. This team enjoyed the game not because of EEPL forums(hmmm I wonder why?) but because of their ability to be able to play the game to together under the way they wanted. So we all made decisions as FAs to stay together and still enjoy the game, where we had security. The league was irrelevant, the ability to play together the way we liked was more important.
Why do I post this: Because I have read where people say they lost respect for these players, we cheated, we wanted to roll over the competition. Get a grip. We(All GLB agents) are not all out for the glory and domination of some make believe league, we enjoy playing it because we are a group of people that gel well and like to play the game together. I am sorry if this does not compliment the way you enjoy the game, but last time I checked if we are all paying to play then we have a right to play the game were we have the most fun. IE sticking together.
The real tragedy here is the rules can be broken for some and not for others. I have been on teams recently(Season 3) where transfer of ownership was allowed, chemistry was reset, and PMs to support and admins were answered. All breaking the rules. But if you don't get in good with the Admins then these things are not available to you. Thus the reason we made the decision we made.
Now go ahead and tell me that we hurt the league, we cheated, we didn't care about others. We cared about the only thing that was important, having fun by playing together in a game we paid for.

What are you complaining about, Porky, You guys are getting just what you asked for, to stay together, in a very competitive league, You should be thanking the league, instead of bitching about it.
When you complain about this, it makes it seem like you main objective was not to stay together, but to move done as a team and be better than the competition. The bottom line is that your team is still together, you are in a very competitive league, and Im glad you guys are back!
The league you guys were going to, was not the same caliber as your team, I dont think anyone can argue that point. So the end state is both leagues are better off now, and you guys get to stay together! sounds like a win / win.

I am not complaining, just clarifying what happened. We asked to be moved back and are glad to be back(Well except for the stadium and chmeistry hit) Just clarifying what happened, for those who didn't take the time to read everything in the 40 plus pages of threads.

This is what should have happened in the first place, except for the chemistry and stadium hit and yall losing a few players.
It probably could have been set up that yall chose your owner somehow had it really been thought out beforehand.
Regardless, welcome back. Chemistry will be decently solid by midseason.

Thanks guys. I actually PMed multiple people about trying to set it up this way originally and was told that transfers between teams and selecting the new owners were not allowed. I am excited to be back!

Welcome, but as the owner of a gutted team, I was looking forward to playing the gutted team that was put in your place.

I am glad they moved us back here rather than to SA pro....at least we know people here. I think what most of us were pissed about was how it was handled. Other than that we were fine with being moved. I know the thing that pissed me off the most was that nobody even contacted our owner, which is unfair to him.
But hey, GL to everyone, SGA, we shall beat you someday!
