| Right. We were talking about this tonite and a few of us had a chat about it. There's a few things I have to point out :
If we do this thing, I know it's sposedly "all for Irish Quake" and the practise etc., but it's basically a fuckload of work for me, Sonic and the lads. First off, we have to lend people machines, I have to drive them up to the college, we have to set them up, take them down etc etc. That's not that big a deal, although I think some people have to bear in mind that Sonic, however generous and obliging the guy may be, he's nobody's slave even though he has been treated like one before.
What it comes down to is this, we don't mind bending over for Team.ie or for nD, but believe it or not, Sonic, Gman, Podgeen, Myself etc do actually play Quake when we aren't posting bullshit up here. nD has nine members, a Quake3 team has four players. Quite a few nD players didn't get a fair crack of the whip in the last league, we ended up putting our first team forward for an awful lot of games, it was our first league, we wanted to make an impression, which is surely understandable.
If we go and do this thing, there will more than likely be seven nD players not getting games, those seven being the ones who are expected to book rooms, haul machines, lend machines etc. I'm not doing this because of any "uh-uh nD-PS" bullshit, and I appreciate that it would be good for the Irish to get a team into the Eurocup, but basically the next league we are in, our talented players who havent yet had a chance, like Guinnessman, Sonic, Wario etc are going to be playing their fair share of games, we aren't going to be a team that stands on the currently weaker players to keep the top 4 or 5 going, because we aren't just a team, we are now a group of good mates too, and since I more or less run nD, at least I usually have the final say, I'm not about to ask the lads to go through all that shite again without even getting a game.
So I'm sorry, nD won't merge with PS for the Eurocup. I think if PS wanted to be decent about it, if they cant get players on the net, they should tell Godsmurf that they can't take part in the league, and should give nD the chance.
