This man clearly knows what it means to be a Captain.

Lucas, please...you know I'm never biased against you on anything and would gladly defend you when I know you're right because you're my friend and I'm not stupid enough to hop on the bandwagon to bash you, but...

This is getting out of hand. Like I told you last night after I talked about wanting to be part of this, the title means nothing. If you're there and you help the crew out significantly, it won't go without recognition, if that's what you REALLY want that badly. Still, you shouldn't want to be in this to prove all the haters wrong regarding their opinions of you.

The title of captain should go to someone who has great synergy with the team. You're used to what you think being right (with good reason, because you are right a good deal of the time), and are often close-minded to the opinions of others. You won't be the only one calling the shots here, and when that's happened in the past, it's led to arguments and negative energy. We can't have that piled on top of an already-stressful battle against the best of the best from the rest of this country. If you changed your attitude and were more willing to work with others (as well as be more considerate about what you say to other people), things would work out better.

They're not voting against you because you're the big bad Inui. You've given them reason to disapprove of your position as captain in this thread.

EDIT: Also, coaching other regions just proves that you only want to be in this for yourself...or at least, backs it up/makes it seem that way. You're supposed to want your home team, your friends, your region, your state, to win. Don't be spiteful and angry because they didn't pick you to be captain or some dumb ****.

If we do poorly because you weren't elected as captain...then it's our loss, right? You'll have the last laugh. Alternatively, you could continue to help us out without any form of title or special recognition (see: do what's right).

When I saw what Infern quoted, I kinda felt like I had to say that. I didn't notice him post that before.

Inui really is being selfish. He only helps out his crew if only he gets credit? srsly? This should be a crew effort. Even if your not team captain, u should still help out your crew, not stab them in the back and go help others to make them lose. Well im done messing in ur guys affairs. Hopefully Inui opens his eyes and decides to help u guys out, but even then Im sure u guys will do great. Looking forward to meeting u all at Pound 4 :p

so much unnecessary drama. Just split if it will make both regions happy.

Its not like were playing for money..... were all playing for PRIDE! Plus we would mop every region in crews if combined. You have to split EC because out of all the regions were gonna have our strongest players regardless (every top player on ec will attend due to distance). Every other region is not gonna have all their top players even tho they say they are coming. If it were FC again I would understand EC being together because not all the top players could attend a far away tourney.

So what would it be then? EC and then MD/VA? That's kinda saddening...MD/VA really is EC and they can add a great deal of **** to the crew battle.

*disclaimer* Not meatriding, but he just posted so...

Meep would be so **** for the EC crew...1 grab = minus 1 stock? Imagine?

i suggest people leaving inui alone and letting him have time to reflect on things. im sure he has a burden way past just wanting to be captain and i hope whatever it is things straighten out.

I voted to unite with my idea of having Chu create a separate crew with the remainder of MD/VA

or why not have a B team crew? Atl. North could have 2 crews after all... maybe thats a suggestion in the wrong directoin

Indeed, crew battles are for pride only. And let's face it, MD/VA is very prideful of its talent and ability. I would be for not splitting under these conditions though:

1) M2K is not used. He is not a part of EC anymore. Whether or not he decides not to crew battle is of his own inclination.

2) Ally is used. I have to agree with the rest of NJ/NY that if the *** is putting money in the pot just to take it all, multiple times a month at that and more than in any other region, he sure as hell is an Atlantic North smasher.

3) There is no team captain. End this trivia talk. No other region is talking about Pound 4 crews as much Atlantic north, and yet we are more guaranteed first more than every other region. Why are you all disputing over this? If anything, the title of captain claims personal pride over regional pride, which is selfish, and therefore not at all surprising coming from Inui.

Speaking of which, Inui, your reputation fails to precede you. You're all talk, and then you try to back it up with data. If you have results, let it speak for itself, otherwise, just stop arguing. The fact that you have to constantly bring up results only means that to us, the information you're providing is fruitless and not an accurate portrayal of your skill. MD/VA can accurately measure who is good in NY and NJ, contrary to popular belief. You're not exactly high up in our eyes compared to others of whom you talk down to (like an elitist at that. How absurd.)

Take a break from the game. For everyone's sake.

Since I know requirement 3 won't be met (some douchebag is going to try to take credit if Atlantic North wins, blame another if it loses,) I'd rather have MD/VA win/lose on its own. And if it does split, I expect every good MD/VA player to participate (looks at the likes of Candy, Meep and Neo.)

Omni, my vote is for splitting.

Yet MD/VA lets me come down and profit at 100% of their events I attend.

Atomsk is awesome. We own together. I know that. But still, if I was only half as bad as you people think I am, we wouldn't take 1st in doubles every ****ing time no matter how many of your good players are there. There have been tournies where 100% of your powerhouses attended and we still got 1st, like CH4.5 and BTYF (2nd to M2K/Omni). At CoT4, we took out your two best doubles players at the time combined. Atomsk also loses to plenty of MD/VA when he's on his own. He got 17th in singles at the same tourny we won doubles, the Summer Championship one. Atomsk is better in doubles than in singles lol and it makes him mad... :p

I dunno what you talkin' about son, I clearly am a pimp in the highest degree.

Lol, I actually never dress up. I wore a suit to Viridian City 2 and Kosha Boy, then the jacket/shirt/tie at Powerplay.

IMO people need to stop being butthurt about it.

First off, how many different crews are we going to have at pound 4? MW, Atl North, South, WC? I honestly think that if we combined into one big crew since we are all technically from the same region, that we would be strong. What are these regional crew battles for? Showing which area is the strongest. If we have one extremely powerful crew which dominates the others? So what? That's what we want to aim for :D

The only problem if we only have those crews is that there is an odd amount making the crew bracket weird unless we do round robin. However, I DO see the point on the other side due to the fact that not every top player from a region can make it stacking the odds for the east coast for example APEX.

If you're in it to dominate the other regions combine the two. If you want crews to be more hype and more unpredictable, separate them. From what I'm reading, the main argument for splitting is because they can't have all of their best players. I still believe that Atlantic North should be one full crew. Just to show we're dominant and show off our pride as an entire region. MD/VA and Tri-state are both mini-regions within the whole atlantic north.

The thing is. I'm not a major player in Atlantic North nor do I even play Brawl anymore. I request my vote not be counted, but my post considered just because I'm some guy on the side. Honestly though, if we split, there would be a lot more excitement for the spectators. Though it might also sound like we're being elitist and sandbagging by splitting our best players up. If we split I can already hear people making excuses, but if we don't I hear people crying about it. If both crews think they're good enough to beat the rest of the regions and each other, then go ahead. I don't know what the placings look right now, but if all of the crews are mad close to each other, then go ahead. Make it exciting. If we lose though, no Johns.

You can't put aside SUB-regional pride for REGIONAL crew battles? That's pathetic.

Honestly, I don't see why drama between both Atlantic North regions has to split us up for the biggest tournament to date. A few select people arguing about having "too many good players" and "winning anyway" is really going to risk even the tiniest chance of not completely crushing every other team?

Stay as one crew. I don't care who thinks that each team would still be enough to win on its own. We can go back to stupid drama, unnecessary fights, sub-regional pride and random pictures that make me laugh AFTER this is done.

Captains? Really? You guys are like a bunch of kids picking teams on the playground, whining that you want to be the captain and you'ld be a great captain and nobody else could ever be as good of a captain as you could and you wouldn't play if you couldn't be captain and you might not even be the best on the team but oh man, you just HAVE to be the captain and it's not fair if you can't be captain because you would be a great captain and ON AND ON AND ON(!) until somebody slaps you or you go out and get crushed by a team that actually works together. Again, focus on the TEAM here. If we're all apparently good enough to seriously consider splitting, then our skill level should be at the point where it doesn't really matter what order people are sent in since we're "so good" in the first place. If you think that this is wrong because people can be counterpicked by stages/other people, then stop trying to limit our options. You all really need to get along for at least one weekend.
