BS is in twbd. I think Paladen also doesn't qualify for TWL with current standings. What your saying is they shouldn't be in TWL? Well they are, we are not however

EDIT: DG also has TNTkilla *TRL* capt and some other TRL players so those doublesquadders get to play leagues? Why saff lets this happen?

[Bosshawk]

i was under the impression the first sub teams were taken from the rankings at the TWD/TWL cutoff deadline :eek:

[Sleepy Weasel]

Yes DG should be checked over for double squadding, I'll agree with that.

Nothing else you say makes much sense to me though.

[zippy]

As far as I know, TNTkilla and a few others from * T . R . L * left and joined DragonGuard.

After *T.R.L.* was brought in discredit with the multie thing a lot of the their members left. Does that mean DragonGuard canot be a new home for some of those members?

[Lain]

The squad leader, Captains, and Assistants of DragonGuard have no knowledge of any double squadders playing for us.

We realise that it may look strange that our 'noob' squad has risen to the top 10 in twd and 'stolen' a TWL slot, but this is mostly the result of the efforts of our squadmembers. True, we've rostered some new players, but a lot of our squad are original members from way back before TWD began.

That said, we'd be happy to have a mod go over our roster and help us locate any multi-squadders.

Shouldn't replacement squads be picked depending on the same ladder positions when first new TWL squads were picked. As I see now DG was picked by their rank in TWDD ladder at the time Epi checked it not the rank they had when other squads were picked so this leaves place for cheating squads in. Im not saying this staff actually cheated them in but then u should have had let other squads now theres a free spot so they can try to get it and they should have set a date when the new squad should be picked. Now how do we know staff(DG also staff members in it) just didn't wait untill DG reaches the rating to be the best from squads not in TWL and then announce that they replace. Im pretty sure DG wouldnt have made it if it was picked from the same ladder other squads were picked.

first off, being a member of tw staff does not give special benefits, to say so is completely useless and just lowers your argument. . . now for the rest of it

2.04 If any squad drops out during the middle of a season for any reason, it will be replaced by the highest ranking team on the Trench Wars Division (www.twdivisions.org) ladder which is currently not in that division of Trench Wars Leagues and wishes to join. Replacement squads who join before the season begins will be considered full squads in Trench Wars Leagues. Replacement squads that join during a season in progress will start out with a record of (0-x) [wins-losses], with the x representing the number of rounds that have already occurred. Because it is important that the league is not held up, replacement squads must respond to the invitation as soon as possible or else the next best squad
will be asked and so on. These TWD teams need at least 10 games played in their respective TWD division to qualify.

the teams have been decided and pre-season has started. to any half-witted person you can realize that, for all intents and purposes, the season has started.

sure, you were ahead of them at the cut-off date, but that was the cut-off date and squads were picked. dragonguard didn't give up, they continued to play matches for the hell of it, to practice, to improve. this is what twd is for. the fact that twd matches have considerably fallen off in the amount played is kind of dissapointing. it's left up for the players, not for decoration. alot of work was put into twd, twl squads should use it to practice, and non-twl squads should take advantage of it for the purpose of improving and, maybe one day, making twl.

if dragonguard got up into the top 10 for twdd kuddos to them. you have nobody to blame but yourselves. after last season we all know the potential for the need for replacement squads. i'd prefer an active one (ie. dragonguard) over one who only really existed and played to make twl.

further, like it or not, brit squad and paladen both were already members of their respective leagues as of last season, they don't have to prove anything to get in (although maybe that should be changed in the future).

it's your own fault you fell down the rankings in twd. my squad personally has kept the same mindframe throughout twd, we're 6th or so right now. i'm sure dragonguard didn't play recently with the hopes of getting a twl spot, they just played and hit up 8th.

stop whining and go play twd, it's fun in itself.

GL Dragonguard.

Thx Kid Kaos,

We sure can use all the luck we can get when playing against the big squads

But starting as the underdog has its advantages so prepare for some great matches!

If you read the rules, it says specifically that squads that dissolve are replaced by the top ranked non-TWL squad... knowing this, you should have kept your squad playing to get the top spot, in case a squad dissolved.

Also agree that DragonGuard deserves its spot. They beat my squad today, but we'll get even next time...

[bloodzombie]

rand speaks sense.. but too much sense.. who wants to read all that.. I'll spit the simplified version....


things change.. why would you substitute a dissolved squad with a squad that was good 3 weeks ago, and might be a completely different squad now?

answer: you wouldn't, that's just stupid.




good luck dragonguard.. way to keep pushing, you made it in. congrats.

[Randedl]

i just didn't want to call anybody stupid to their face. . .

[bloodzombie]

yeah.. I don't mind that so much.

[Lain]

Now thats over with... on with the show

Paladen and BS are in

Exactly as we proved we r the next squad to get in TWLs during the deadline.
Figures...

Copy, i'm sry for your squad but as Randedl pointed out, look at #2.04 from the rules list, that says it all. So nu use in going on and on about it.

If I were you I would start playing more twd's again and kick some ass there so you'll be the first in line if any other squad would drop out.
