Warrior General Games

At the start of last season, I and the guys on my team (Berlin Blitzkrieg) were thrilled to have made it to the Euro Pro leagues. AAA#1 was a great experience, but the "AAA" forums quite often became negative and toxic due to members of a well-known team of forum trolls. We'd followed the Euro Pro forums and the league since season 1 and (correctly) felt it was the classiest, most competitive and most mature league in GLB.

Last season was a great, great experience for my squad. We enjoyed the other teams that made up the Pros and the great competition this league offered. Most of us regularly read this forum and enjoyed the community.

However, the past couple of weeks have seen a dramatic and unfortunate shift here. The childish, classless bunch that infested AAA for multiple seasons has embraced that role at this level, hijacking nearly every substantive thread so they can one-up each other with their idiocy. I (and many affiliated with my team) simply don't have any interest in picking through their garbage to find the quality posters and discussions we enjoyed in the past.

I pay money to play and enjoy this game, and it's very unfortunate that a highly vocal, but pathetically classless and insecure bunch are permitted to act like internet gangsters, talk trash, and embarass themselves to the point where the adults who pay to play and enjoy this game no longer do. If a guy at my gym acts like that, he gets thrown out of the gym. If the gym doesn't care, then I cancel my membership and go to another gym. Pretty common sense, really.

I wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to the other 31 teams who participated in the Pro level community last season. It was an awesome experience. However, we are withdrawing from any Euro Pro forum and/or community initiatives due to our desire to actually enjoy this game. I have no clue what the long-term future for Berlin is - I suspect if the current toxic environment continues (and I have no reason to suspect it won't since the current forum mods appear impotent to handle basic issues of civility on these forums), we will ultimately walk away. There are just too many other games out there or other things we enjoy doing to put up with the b/s.

Regards,
Irish

PS. Much as I enjoy the hate-filled PMs and forum posts that will surely come rolling in from the offending individuals, allow me to assure you that (a) I won't be reading this thread and (b) I delete PMs I get from members of your team before reading them. I enjoy life too much to voluntarily read rubbish.

EDIT BY REQUEST: This has nothing to do with any CPL thing. It was something we've been discussing over the past few days - I didn't even know about the CPL thing until a guy on my team called me a few minutes ago and told me that people were drawing the completely wrong conclusion from this post. This relates to long-standing behavior in the AAA and GLB forums that had clearly migrated to these forums towards the end of last season. See eg:

I understand your pain. It would be a shame to see you go, considering you guys are legitimately Woodridge's biggest threat in the conference (sorry Valhalla).

Personally, I'm doing my best to forget about all that just happened, and just move on. If it continues, I'll probably be in your position soon. I'm not a big fan of the whole cyberpunk movement going on in this forum now either.

I thought that our well known posters had behaved themselves very well so far. The entire CPL fiasco wasn't started by the Pimps and our guys didn't get involved until those guys came to this board and starting spamming. I don't think that the trash talk will ever stop being posted, but I doubt our guys will come here and treat the Pro League like they did AAA. Regardless, best of luck to your team.

wtf is he talking about...im assuming he means the pimps, but we havent hijacked or done anything yet...all the hijacking was the CPL posters who spammed this board. if anything, during that cpl "war" our guys made this forum not look like a bunch of pussies.some of our guys got banned backing this league up.

I think you are giving up on the forums too soon.
I hate to say that the Pimps will "behave", but I think they will merge in fine, unless called out by CPL. I blame CPL for all the crap, not any WEPL team.

If you get this worked up over a game, maybe it's time you stepped away from the computer and enjoyed some "real life" activities. I've never seen so many "grown men" cry over a fvcking game.

Thanks,
I find it funny that we are being blamed for the CPL thing when our team had nothing to do with it getting started. Once we saw they were attacking us, we attacked their forum (along with folks from other teams). Hell there were posts that were asking T-noles to go attack their board.

Although I can understand where your sentiments are coming from (and I am aware that you are not likely to read this), I must say that this strikes me as odd timing for such a decision, as aside from the CFL fiasco carried in from outside I thought that there was nothing really annoying posted in the WEPL forums the last few days. Hope that you guys will reconsider (or better have reconsidered, otherwise you won't read this anyway) and that the scenario you cite as your reason to leave won't come to pass.

You need to lighten the fuck up. It's terribly unfortunate you are such a prick, or you might enjoy this game. We haven't done anything.

The CPL seem to be a bunch of a$$clowns from what I've seen.

The Pimps >> than any of their guys.

We haven't even done anything on this forum. Look at the front page? How many threads are BS ones started by pimps players? And you call our whole team classless and pathetic because a couple guys talk trash on an internet message board? Sounds like you are the pathetic one. Oh and real smooth talking shit about us and then telling us to do whatever we want because you aren't man enough to read the thread again. Good riddens.

I'm sure you will be missed.

Thanks, can't wait for our scrimmage game against you guys

Just wanted to say this about the CPL shit.

I kind of started it. Sorry.

Thanks to all that had the patience to wait it out and let it go.

Don't worry you can just blame it on us, everyone else did
