Effects of playing for the Gold City Royals.

I felt the same when I played for the Dragons, so either previews aren't my go, or what you've suggested is right.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

You've made a mockery of match threads Son of God and not for the first time.

[Marlowe]

It was brisk, another bitter cold morning in Gold City. The stale stench of defeat hung in the air, clinging to you like cheap wine to a failed movie star. I wash the sleep out of my eyes with a garden hose and then board the hovercraft to Dunghole Island at 7:30 sharp. It's a swift ride, the thirty-minute journey sobered me up but the storm made me sea sick. Through a thick cloud of fog, Dunghole Island suddenly appeared, rising out of the water and towering over me. A foreboding sense of dread and panic surged through me, as did a feeling of déjà vu. "I've been here before" a voice whispered in my head. My partner didn't seem to think so. At least he's calling himself my partner. I've never seen this man in the Marshalls before. But I'm going to have to trust him if we're to discover the mysteries within Dunghole Island...

Gee, there's not much between these two teams.

Ladder position excepted.

Make or break for Dragons top four, Royals finals at all.

At the very least, the crowds will be delighted by another showing of Rub Power, ya hear me Marlowe?

 

[The Filth Wizard]

okeydoke7, I believe the match thread title is an outrage and is bringing the game into disrepute.

Got the nads to berate your own team mate over this glaring offence?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I might play at FB again and allow boncer34 to kick 15 in spite of Bengwatkins selfish attempts at more individual honours.

Do it, I need a challenge in the ALF race.

You could always do with the reverse ALF award to.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Strange.

Sorry. I just read an Uncle_Leo thread.

Actually, should we call this match the 'Uncle_Leo Cup' in honour of our collective fallen champion (of last year...)?

He was only a champion at the Royals. He won nothing at the Dragons.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I dunno. He won two finals.

Hell, he played in a final.

"Marlowe... Marlowe", that name rung in my ear like a bell. Where have I heard it before? Is he the man I've come to Dunghole Island to kill? Too many questions, and the storm is beginning to rage.

Meanwhile the Dragons were relaxing at Sizzler, a short walk from the Dragon Island Oval, enjoying some potato skins, cheese bread and all you can eat buffet. The Dragons were contemplating their fortunes after narrowly beating the new but well performing Warriors, blissfully unaware that their upcoming opponents were boarding vessels to the wrong island.

 

[Marlowe]

Go be boring someplace else, Danoz. Like, over there. *points aimlessly in no discernible direction*

 

[The Filth Wizard]

akkaps also played in those finals, so too did Danoz, and yourself.

Certainly.

But certainly not you or most of your kin.

Have you ever won or played in a final SOG?
