PIRATES
Leagues: Dueling / Javs / Basing?

Pirates have the talent to go places, and they might if they get more active. With an LJ lineup of Sky, herc, kim, cc and the returning exquisite, they’re no pushover. They don’t have much depth though, which may hurt them. In ld it’s the same problem with a solid first line but not a lot of depth. They’ve recently added some more javs though, so they’ll still have decent enough mid guys, and should make playoffs and possibly be the team to pull off a “big upset” The goal for them has to be playoffs as the TWLJ title is probably out of reach. LD they won’t make playoffs, probably just missing them, but again could sneak in. Awesome has said that they are going to try to base, but it’ll probably be really half assed if at all – not enough activity strikes again.

Nick i'm in the process of moving out today so i dont have time to read them all right now. I did however read this one quoted above and just to comment on the "Basing?" sections of it... we were planning to like 6 months ago or earlier when we got you, zXer, Arobas+, Austin, and Redlights <ER> along with other Pirates that were there who already know how to base like Legionair, Hercules, Crazy Canockout and a2m+.... but after you, Legionair, a2m+, zXer, Redlights and arobas (for a short time) were gone, we decided to stick to just the 2 best leagues.

We want to bring the squad together in those 2 and establish ourselves before branching out into basing. Maybe in Season 8 we may start moving that direction, if we feel we are completely satisfied with our javs and wb standings and if we get a few more basers (who can do more than just base).

Come back soon, Nick and nice post... i look forward to reading the rest of it later.

EDIT: Sorry, just wanted to point out one area i disagreed with you on. The depth issue. With Sky, Dissention, Hercules, Kim, Froedrick, Nope, Colonel, Nikolai, Eric is God, Tiny, Yip Man, Nope, Crazy Canockout (if he can resolve his computer problems), Tuxxer and others... we feel we've got some depth. All of these players are active (well except cc). However, we may make 1 or 2 changes/additions before TWL, but even if we dont, we're pretty happy with the current roster.

lol... I like how the Spastic prediction is mostly about TWLJ...

[Sumpson]

Nice post, thank you.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Responding to pallies since that's the only one I'm qualified to really talk about. For twlj last season Scuzzy was 78 56 and Hellz was 70 45 so I don't know if I'd say Hellz was the backup to scuzzy, they were pretty even. And Hellz is definitely still in our top 5 this season so at least one core twlj player will be there. Myself,PJ, and fruitang (been a pallie for about a year if you want to count him) and some others will also probably end up in a fair amount of games if we show up due to attendance issues.

And it wasn't that we didn't want to show up for playoffs last season, it's just no one was around. Scuzzy was in Aruba, PJ was gone somewhere I don't remember. I was supposed to be gone but that got delayed a week so I made it. Mattey and RyanG had to work, and I don't remember who else missed but it was a good half of our starters and we didn't have any depth last season. We're still nerds that love spaceships, we've just got stuff we can't blow off (like school) in the summer.

well nick, shriek recruited adman today to help pull some sharking duties and azurus to pull some terr duties and we have one or two more recruits coming so your eventually gonna have to edit your post about our basing (i'll let you know when we're done recruiting

[PaulOakenfold]

Azurus has turned into yet another "elite" squad hopper. Looks like Adman gave up on Melee. I saw him as a leader of Melee, but w/e! Thanks to squads like Shriek who take active and once loyal members, and then leave them afterwards.

[Verthanthi]

No one should be loyal to the current melee.

[K2Grey]

Azurus has already been a squadhopper for quite enough time now. Inc -> Diso -> Final -> Shriek -> Sk8 -> Spastic -> Shriek in 2 months.

[PaulOakenfold]

Okay... Azurus on Shriek... Jard on Shriek... I can see something really bad going down in the next week

just some minor things you forgot to mention about Pallies (the only squad im familiar with lineups), but I'm sure you took into account

1) mattey in our wb lineup
2) sleepy weasel in our jav forray

otherwise nice predictions. obviously I'd like to see some 1,2,3,4 lists instead of "playoffs" or "not playoffs", as I don't even remember what the cutoff point is. One thing I'd say is that wr's roster isn't too big for one league. All those guys are awesome about playing time, and most of them simply will not play TWL (bigwig is a pure pub guy, as are some others im sure). Frankly, I don't think they'll have the drive this season. There's no chip on their shoulder, nothing to prove (like 2 seasons ago or maybe even last season). This is a more relaxed, play for fun squad. Lets just hope it doesn't turn into Paladen.

I failed to mention mattey because it's really un-needed. Everybody knows Mattey is good and clutch. As for Sleepy in javs, he's a solid 1:1 guy but he's so far down the jav depth list, it'll take a lot of noshwos form guys to get him in. Bigwig was not (is not) on the wr twd roster (at least when i looked)

Noticed a spastic mistake, you'd obviously repeat in lb, not lj. Also I talk more about javs because I like it better, you're basically the same squad as before, a little more depth here and a lil less there, so you and LB doesn't have much difference. Your still way up at the top.


Also noticed (had pointed out to me) I said we're for mambo - I'm not on mambo.

Thats what I meant. I mean, other thigns come first and thats cool - but it's what cost you a run at all 3 titles last season.

EDIT: Made two posts one.

Lemme know when your done a2m

[Randedl]

melee 4 twld

[Randedl]

i hope they make it.

melee was my first ever serious squad, and the only squad i have ever played twl for. i have nothing but fond memories of the squad and i would love to play them in the finals, i'd even be cheering for them in the back of my mind.
