hi there
this is going to my my attempt at a post longer than 3 lines that isn't about healthcare. because this week we forfeited the one game we could have won. the one game. soilderz is joining the army (which i can't blame him for) and endangered is giving in to EG (once again, with diso's TWD activity i can't blame him) so i guess it leaves this whole thing up to me to type out.
i feel like i dont even have to tell you guys the rather terrible state disoblige is in. i dunno, there are many reasons to explain it, starting with the fact that i'm a fuckin captain, but at this point all i can say is it's all in the past. the general feeling is that this season has been a joke for us. i can't even try to save face by showing up for every game or getting 8 to show, it looks like our lineup has simply stopped giving a damn. but once again i can't fault 'em because we as captains haven't been making the effort.
i'm writing this post because i feel like after this terrible, unbearable, embarrassing season where we lost to such talented teams as paladen and hit in basing and had a similar pro performance in TWL-J is simply inexcusable for a team with the caliber and talent of Disoblige. of course, that's a statement best viewed through the lens of time, back when Diso was winning TWL-J and bringing serious competition in the basing leagues. I remember Disoblige being a tough opponent back when I was with anti-scrub, as well as Juice, RB, and maybe even penetrate.
why did we suck this season? 500 reasons, starting with the fact that almost -all- of Diso's core is gone. apparently while I was gone, Diso dissolved and was resurrected. IMO, maybe it should have stayed dead. but hey, the lack of big names never stopped Penetrate as well as other squads, so you can see another reason was our activity levels. i mean - what activity levels? for the past six weeks, aside from our javs (dazzal, nowyoudie, shivah, revered, healt), diso's TWD has been non-existent. I know our basers have played maybe 5 games in the past 5 weeks - all of them, TWL games. but lastly, the ultimate blame can rest with us, the captains. Here's how I see it: Soilderz made a valiant attempt to re-start diso but got pulled away from the game due to real-world obligations. Endangered tried and tried to teach and train, but wasn't able to make the necessary recruits. And me? Come on. I don't think I made a single recruit despite my efforts, on top of recently coming back from a long-ass hiatus. Oh, and I have never cap'd a squad before. Or played the game. I think my ultimate mistake was begging royst to come back to the game and play. My intention was to recruit him to diso, instead, he went and started daycare and tenure. Mixed feelings about that one
Last but not least, i'd like to blame the fact that Diso was led by an American for our failure; the subspace gods would never allow a crime like that to go unpunished.
As you can probably imagine, it's been a dark time for Diso these past few weeks. Every week has been a roller coaster. Going into TWL realizing all was lost. The vets, bram and Mantra and Da1, showing up and saving us for preseason, giving us hope. Thinking we might have an upset underdog season. Then being nearly shut out. Gaining new recruits, playing javs with dazzal and revered and those guys. Still losing. Remu and j.po disappearing after preseason, leaving who, me and enda? to lead the spiders, which was a hopeless cause. Beer hunter and zazu making valiant efforts. Tenure dumping multipass? on us, who turned out to be active, awesome, and always an optimist. Flion, the irishman who had a meltdown and almost left us. Bram's longwinded speeches about how we were letting diso down. More inactivity. Thix learning to be bram jr, "giving up" every weekend yet still showing up and giving me hope. Random diso vets I'd never met like set it off and zazu, who turned out to be flexible players who showed up (FOR THE MOST PART!) And through it all, Wax's clutch performances in all areas of javelin and base.
Diso is more or less dead now, barely even enough people around to have a diso chat. yet at the same time I can't bring myself to dissolve diso because who am i? not bram, da1, or mantra-slider. so we're kind of hanging in purgatory, not dead and certainly not alive. For me, my immediate future involves EGDL. staff, you can remove my ZH powers or whatever, I haven't been active in like two months. after the disaster that has been this TWL, i think i need a break. that's how i feel, that's how endangered feels, that's how depress felt, that's how thix feels.
for the rest of you guys - fuck you! noone gave diso a chance, and of course you were all right. oh well. sometimes you're the new orleans saints, but most of the time you're just the chicago cubs. i wasn't a good enough cap to give us a new orleans-style celebration.
in closing, i'd just like to say thanks for the great times, the ups and the downs, and a shout-out to all former and current Disoblige members who weren't axed for being lame. Squadron Disoblige says good luck to the remaining squads in TWL season 15 - but for us, we're outta here~~~~
