7/6 Weekend Competition: Castlevania

Reigning champion @OldNick decides to celebrate the classic video game series and I approve.  Nice, light weekend ahead... enjoy your holiday if you celebrate the 4th.

Get your weekend picks locked in, fools!

I mean what do you want me to do about it? Banish him from the league because he made one frustrated post about not liking anik and being on what he deemed a  "******" team? 

Also, I made this move a week ago, why are you only now saying something because he won the weekend contest?

I do get what you are saying I do. But I wasn't going to ban him from the league, and if I didn't pick him up I guarantee  you either TTT or more likely the Bears would have a week later.

I didn't know you picked him up until now to be honest, but do what you want. I'm just trying to tell you what might happen in the end.

And if we picked him up knowing he didn't want to be on the team. We really had no garuntees he would pick.

Also live2wrestle disappeared from the planet and he was one of the better pickers on the whole site, and that's who we replaced, so it's not like he contributed to making our team better than it was before. 

The team i was put on was created around wish and acfmma, plus 6 others including myself, i was actually happy with the team. Then after the first week i see we lost super bad with acfmma having zero picks plus retired all together and 3 other members who didnt even pick half the fights. i'd prefer to be on a team but not with half members not interested so i wanted out, if a decent or great team wanted me i would have joined.

the bears would not have picked him up. he is a very good picker but we already have 2 reserves if someone goes on vacation or decides its too much to do during the summer.

@Cal He most certainly has that completely contained.

I wasn't drafted messiah, wolf emailed me and asked me to fill in for someone who was out for a week, afterwards he said I was welcome to stay on for the duration if I wanted to finish out the season. I've been and will be slammed all summer and my kids are out of school so I told him I'd try to keep up with my picks but I couldn't guarantee it and he said he didn't care. tbh, I would've missed picks on several events already had Wolf not emailed me to remind me that deadlines were closing.
 In another thread you quoted me as saying "I wanted no part of the contest", at least you got it half right this time. If you want to hold me to what I said I'm fine with that, I would've said yes had anyone else asked me and given them the same warning of my schedule this year. No need to try to make Wolf look like a ****, hopefully this explanation suits your OCD enough to move on to other as the tapology turns issues and take my name out your mouth.

Wish to be honest man, I really do understand your issue. When trev had said that I had originally thought about hnot letting someone pick him up. But then when I noticed itfigures joined the Bears I just figured fair game. 

I knew Trev wanted to be on a team, he just didn't want to be on by far the worst team with him being a good picker. 

But the fact is is you are the only other member on TRT who is a top picker who is just stranded on a team with no active posters or pickers comparable to yourself. 

I do agree at this point TRT won't really compete for a playoff spot, but I can't dissolve them either and go to 7 teams. If you really want to be moved to a team with a chance then I'll grant you that. If you choose then I'll put you on a waiver wire when this week is over. First choice would go to the Sons since they are the only other winless team, then to whoever loses the BOTB Misfits matchup if the Sons pass. Or you can just stay with TRT, whatever you want to do, I think everyone will agree the other 7 teams all have a great chance to win any given week, and you are the only one I think one of those 7 teams would pick up from TRT.

Edit: itfigures I never said there was a problem with wolf did that was a completely unnecessary post. I wasn't trying to "have your name in my mouth" If I've offended you somehow, I apologize.

I have no idea what's going on

@ CashBrewyn: Me neither, but it looks like that TRT is the worst team, unfortunately I'm a member of that team as well. Thanks for not picking me for TTT :-)

Has there been an IFL (or whatever the MVP game is called now) update for last weekend yet? Haven't been on much lately and don't want to hunt through the forums. 

There will be one released tonight, in between 11pm and Midnight EST

And it's ITL (International Tapology League)

Ok cool, just wondering and I wasn't making fun of the name just couldn't remember what it was. Makes sense now. 

@trevpicks you embody all that is wrong with Legion. You'll be a perfect mascot for them.

@theMMAmessiah Trust me, I would NEVER pick up trevpicks. There's only room for one dbag on the Top Team; me.

92nd?  what the **** man

Top 10 finish...feels good man...feels good

Can't seem to break into the top 10.

Congrats to all the winners, and if @trevpicks wants to pick the next contest theme he's got the right to do it! (we've already got his theme)
