It seems like like every other time so I pop in here someone leaving again:(
But what are you going do? I feel like met some cool cats here (pun intended) as being a newbie here I never had to deal with people announcing that they are leaving unless it was for personal reasons. Most of the time when people leave they just fade away... I talk too much sometimes.

I understand what you're trying to say here. I get it. But that being said I don't fully agree.
I don't see it as the team 'turning their back on their -former- teammate. I think many on the teams DO see it as a sense of TEAM and we play to -win-. We are here to have fun, but it ingenders a sense of betrayal. When the guy that was in the fox hole with you, gets up, and tries to shoot YOU, it is a sense of betrayal and they do feel like turncoats and traitors. As you stated noone forced them to join the team. When they jump ship and start trying to make you lose, they're in comititon with you for the win. We do play for fun, but we also play to win. Compound this when people jump ship for the 'current winning team' or because your team has been losing lately and that makes it worse. "Oh well we're not winning so I'm gong to join the winning team and make you lose worse so I can get a win" I think the feelings are perfectly fair and Valid. That being said I don't talk alot of smack on here. I might need "that guy" to hook me up with a hard to find figure at some point. (( Thanks be to all those that have helped me in the past!)) But I totally get the sense of betrayal. When somone that fought with you is then trying to kill you and make you lose the game.. yeah it sucks. Talking smack is kinda jerky but... noone made you jump teams. You sign up for a team, help us out and then leave, it's kinda on you for doing so. You shouldn't expect cheers that you're going to try and beat those you fought with. You kinda should expect the jerkyness. No one that I've seen (( and I only hang out in the Joe thread)) has gotten out of hand with it.. but if you turn traitor on your team and someone calls you one. You shouldn't cry. I've never understood people that get upset when that sort of things happens. If I catch someone lieing to me and I call them a Liar, it's not really 'nice' but it's accurate. They can't really get mad at me for calling them a liar if they are.. If you turn traitor on your team and are then trying to kill your former teammates, don't whine about them being sour about it and calling you a traitor, if that's what you did. I don't do it. Like I said I don't like to burn bridges. I'm in ann area of the country that gets jack shit for figures or vechiles and a NUMBER of really stand up guys on hisstank have really helped me out in the past.. But for those that want to do it.... let um do it. Yeah switching teams is an 'option' but look at the NFL. look at the utter load of HATE that Bret Farve got when he did what he did. He played on GB for years and years then.. .he switched teams and Green Bay felt betrayed. They LOOOOOOTHE Him now.. He got death threats. LOTS of them. Look at NFL or NCAA team rivalry's. That's part of the fun too. If the Joe's are ragging on the IG's or the IG's on the Cobra or the Cobra on the Joes.. it's part of that team rivalry's.. and yes.. if you switch teams, expect some of those bad feelings. It's ALSO part of the game. If there's --no-- loyalty and anyone can be on any team at any time.. it destroys that team comrodery. It destroys that esprit de corps. It lessons the game to 'not mattering who wins or loses because we're all on all teams at all times' If you can switch teams with out any reprecussions what so ever, then you don't have a ----team----- you're a mercenary. It might be how some people have fun in the game. It's not in the spirit of the game though. I play to win. I'm on here late at night every night of the game, not just for me.. but LARGELy.. because of my TEAM. The Joes count on me. Every night. Never fail to be there with my shield. And I'm there for them. How do they know? Because I'm a joe and I'm THERE For my boys. Leave no man behind. We all go home or none of us do. LOYALTY to friends. You kick that in the teeth and get called a few names? Suck it up. |

I think we'll pull through alright. But if the next to shoe or is it Joe to drop happens . I think the shaking up is almost done. Then we focus on the rebuilding.

This is an incorrect statement. The leader is here and we will lead this team to battle. We fight the good fight and put the best strategy forward we can. Sometimes we win, sometimes we loose. The records says we have two half wins the last two rounds so lets build on that and be stronger than ever.
We still have a good core group. And with rookies like we had the past few rounds, we'll be fine! |

Here's my take, both SE and PJ care very much about the hobby and about the game, as evident by your posts. They've both invested time and effort into their respective teams. In a way if we are the respect the spirit of the game, and respect the team building aspect of it. SE should get recognized for his time and effort put into the Joe team. We recognize and honor it by not call him traitor(like burning his/Favre's jersey). Eventually if he finds his way back then we welcome him in. Winning is great, but you can also build a greater team with how you deal with adversity. Every team will go through it's ups and downs. We will regroup like BS says and fight back stronger than ever. Yo Joe.
