I don't usually get involved in this thread, but I feel compelled, now.
Tomasz was (is) a great team member who will be sorely missed. We wish him well for the future.
There is an aura about Martini which makes it a very special group. Many people look at teams in this game with a very narrow viewpoint on what constitutes a good or great team, perhaps focussing too much on statistics or form. Some teams are special because of everything else that happens in a team on top of league table success or Elite titles.
The support of your teammates. Camaraderie. Professionalism. Ethics. Honesty. Openness. Empathy. Hard work. Focus. Fun. Loyalty. Should I go on?
Things like this make teams special, not just points on the board. I can look down the list of teams and see some which are or have been very, very special without any points success. It just happens that Martini has a little title success too, but thats not the primary aim day to day.
I suppose it all comes down to the methods you use to measure. I know what matters to me.

I`m sure Marini want more than that as an application to join them... ;-
No, no need The Specials are ok, very well indeed, don't take a simple sentence that is all true, and it should be looked really like one of the top managers from ever in this game, on a cheap recruit matter, No Special One's are looking for nothing...FOR SURE.

Spot on, dificult for some to understand this simple issues.
All the best for Martini, and is not a easy task to substitute this great "MAN"AGER.

Gong Gong
Alin Costrasuc (Pro - 14) was kicked out from team van Popta Renegades...
|
|
|

Mosquitoes do not tend to make a gong noise. :P
On the subject, what happened, happened. There does not need to be a huge discussion about it.

but there will be Cole ;)
U know that

I don't understand your obvious inside joke about "Mosquitos" & "Buzzards", guys. Would you please elaborate?

Mosquitos and buzzards are annoying and usually, Mike shoots them with his riffle, from the porch of his house. Or at least that`s what I heard. :P
Edit: Andi, Mike`s not a fox. :P

So, why did Alin get the boot? He didn't miss any races. Too many bad jokes, perhaps? :p

Ground Zero for wide-ranging arguments that are only vaguely related to teams. ;p

Buzzards are the birds you see circling high overhead of a dead animal. First one to show up is usually the scout. The rest spot him and the feeding frenzy on the dead begins (like here).
Mosquitos just show up and suck the life blood out of you. ColequitoE is Cole Fainter. I estimate I get over 40 emails from him a day. Mostly are "are you there??" :D
I say it as a joke 100%. It just amazes me how fast some people spot these things.
Why Alin was removed is not a subject I am going to discuss on this forum. He is gone, we already have a replacement, it was my personal mistake signing Alin.

I am starting to believe Andrew Watson's "too many bad jokes" theory (for reasoning behind Alin being kicked out) has become at least 50% fact after your post, Mike. ;-)

Cole has the distinct privilege of being the only member to get himself auto banned from the internal team forum for posting too many times in a minute. Things got 10x quieter for a few days :)
That was freakin funny. I could not delete the posts as fast as he was posting them. Then they stopped. And then I found out why.

For the record I have no idea as to what instance Mike is talking about. *Pinocchio*

Was he given a chance to quit before giving him the boot though?
|
|

We would have rather not spent millions out of our budget, so obviously, yes, he was.

Some very interesting acquisitions into the Van Popta clan. Good luck guys
Also Ignition losing a member to RL when going so well. That's got to set their S27 challenge back a little.

We're happy to add Mark Wright. He was one of my recruiting targets when the team was formed. I had been quietly pestering him for several seasons even before Renegades was formed.
|

|

Good Luck Mike with your new pick. I'm impressed by your team's recruits.
I am sorry to hear about the tough luck that Ignition had in losing a member. I'm sure they will bounce back as they should get some great applicants.
