@Chipmunk (confirm please?)

Should probably be Allies.

 

[serial_thrilla]

I'm on a team with Tarkyn_24. How I have waited for this day.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Should probably be Allies.

Chip nominated WA.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Should probably be Allies.

Had heard murmurings he was looking at playing for WA on the basis of being “West of Australia”.

Am happy for people to make their bed as long as they’re happy to lie in it given the sign up process is permanent in terms of allegiance.

 

[Agent93]

Chip nominated WA.

We're doing the NRL thing these days?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I'm on a team with Tarkyn_24. How I have waited for this day.

I felt it was inappropriate, so before posting the thread I made a last minute adjustment to remove the loveheart I’d placed next to your name.

I’d stewed on that decision for 28 days.

 

[serial_thrilla]

We're doing the NRL thing these days?

As Headless would say: we're on an online anonymous text-based football discussion forum.

Pick a state, stick with it forever, move on.

Oh. That's a little upsetting. What made you remove it?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

As Headless would say: we're on an online anonymous text-based football discussion forum.

Pick a state, stick with it forever, move on.

Please don’t speak of that Victorian Neanderthal.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Oh. That's a little upsetting. What made you remove it?

Perceptions of favouritism mostly.

Now no one could possibly know.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Please don’t speak of that Victorian Neanderthal.

He's Victorian? I always just figured he was Tasmanian.

 

[Agent93]

As Headless would say: we're on an online anonymous text-based football discussion forum.

Pick a state, stick with it forever, move on.

But he's from England! He probably has COVID.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Perceptions of favouritism mostly.

Now no one could possibly know.

A salient point. We don't want to create any sort of jealousy in here. We're a team of equals...until the team sheets are named.

 

[Barrybran]

He's Victorian? I always just figured he was Tasmanian.

Nah, you're thinking of Headmore

 

[serial_thrilla]

But he's from England! He probably has COVID.

He's also a rodent. He probably has rabies.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

A salient point. We don't want to create any sort of jealousy in here. We're a team of equals...until the team sheets are named.

That leads into my next point.

I’ve been a bit of a cuddly bear when it comes to team sheets in prior carnivals, giving everyone a bit of a rotation through prime spots.

I’ve decided this series I want to see our team engage in the competition closely, so the team sheet decision making process will be based on enthusiasm for the concept, quality engagement in the match threads and how much I personally like you.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Don't listen to them Chipmunk, you're one of us.

You'll need to quarantine tho.

I think he's more of a quokka.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I think he's more of a quokka.

Has that newspaper been discontinued yet?

 

[Barrybran]

so the team sheet decision making process will be based on enthusiasm for the concept, quality engagement in the match threads

 

[Tonga Bob]

I think he's more of a quokka.

He's currently in quokkantine.
