I guess nobody wants the split UCLA squads. So the guys who wanted UCLA were not fans of the team, but just looking for a great team that they thought could win.
As I said, I would do it.

Never heard from Copernicus about my offer of a free team. I guess he's turning it down just like ash. Right now we're at 15 teams. I'll give the same offer to anybody who will come in a take a team from now on. If you take a team I will pay for it. I'll paypal you $10 after your team shows up on the league page. This includes the 2 guys who had teams and dropped out.

Okay, if we can get a second owner for the other squad, you're in.

In a recent league someone (not me) did post a note with a similar sentiment, so there is no reason to believe it is not legit. Neither is the post consistent with his style, of which we have a large sample. As over the top Savoy may be, I don't think there is any evidence he is not a straight shooter.

Lots of shots, though.

Probably lost focus. Too busy managing a league and running a business on the side.

I do disagree with you on one thing - I come from a literary background professionally and "They seem to have some very cliquesh behavior and don't like to let new folks in, especially when they kind of stand out - such as you." reads pretty on brand actually

I didn't think he would. He clearly wanted to remain anonymous, that why he SM'd me instead of just posting it. Doesn't want to get involved feuding with you guys.

Why would I have to continue denying it? It was a real SM from someone on the forum, not myself. If you don't believe me, fine. So you don't want the free team I offered you I guess?

As I recall, I think that was a part of the essence of the allegation which is why it stood out in my mind. Also, a little too self-effacing a characterization to come from Savoy.

Now if it stated, ... "especially when they kind of stand out - such as 'me'", well then...we have our man.

Okay, you're in. After you put your team on the league page send me a SM with your paypal address and I'll send you $10.
