A tale of two candidates: A BRAB Investigations Special.

The Sweet FA, much to some's disgust, is one of the most diverse boards on this site. It doesn't particularly matter who you are, you'll find some enjoyment if you stay long enough.

As brief flickers in a longstanding league, we hold a great responsibility to uphold the spirit of the league. Most of the time, we all enjoy ourselves, and fundamentally, that's the key goal of this place. It really shouldn't work, but somehow it does.

Fundamentally, I think that's because there's always been an unseen understanding that there's a person behind the persona. By extension, I'm of the opinion that there's always been an unsaid rule in the league that if one of our own seems stressed to an unprecedented level, we step in to help. We are one big family after all, with one big legacy to carry.

Those dreams were shattered tonight, with suspicions I have had for months finally confirmed.

Most of you would have heard of our beloved Millky95, but for those that did not see him shine before he left us, Millky was a true great. He ran the best Sweet FA club in season 23 without any issues at all and regularly contributed to the legacy of the league by running the Sweet FA podcast. Millky was always active, and we never went more than a day without hearing his opinions on something.

He was truly a cornerstone of the league.

Which is why, when Millky announced his shock retirement, it was fair for all of us to assume something was amiss. Millky was clearly stressed, and his personal crisis had consequently became our personal crisis. Most understood this, but no more then Cloud_

brahj has revealed exclusively that upon Millky's exit from the league, he received two PM's. One, a vicious attack, demanding a please explain, and the other, a selfless offer of support for a member of the league.

One of those people is now the captain of the Swamprats.

Given what we've discussed so far; surely the poster who put personal gain over a callous power grab is now captain of the Swamprats?

No, fellow posters, it appears not. Ant Bear, whilst Millky's body was not even cold yet, first chastised him to finish the job, and then brutally ripped the captaincy away from him before anyone noticed what had happened.

We have to ask ourselves; can this stand?

Can we truly claim to uphold the values of the league whilst we gift someone who turned on another during their darkest hour a privileged position? Is this the legacy we wish to leave on the league? What would past league legends like Fred, EKA or Beez say if they saw a blatant attack on one of our own not only go unpunished, but be rewarded?

I digress, my friends, I must pull a quote from my 10th grade English class. We must be the change we want to see in the world.

Cloud_ is a selfless person and a wonderful candidate for captaincy of the swamprats. He has the best interests of the league at heart, and in one of the darkest moments in the history of the Swamprats, he proved his worth 10x over.

In the words of the late Millky95:

"I'm assuming Ant Bear is captain despite Cloud_ being the better candidate?"

Let us not stand for this.

I call on Hate to immediately strip Ant Bear of the captaincy; to not do so would bring the league into disrepute. A new election for leader of the swamprats can then be held with the full knowledge of Ant Bears repugnant actions fresh in the minds of all Swamprats player.

I will say this much;

Ant Bear is not my captain; and he's not the kind of person fit to hold one of the most respected titles in the league.

BRAB out.

BRAB would like to thank #Scandal for this exclusive Scoop.

Not even worthy of debate.

It is time for the mob mentality of the league to decide your fate, as has been the tradition of this sacred league for thousands of years.
 
Beautiful quote from a respected figure in the league that really just puts things into perspective.

One of the saddest days in the history of the league.

One reached out to Millky. The other knocked him down.

One stands taller today, and we all stand a little smaller for it.

Shame.

We are all Millky on this day.
 
You told me I was a ******* joke when I voted cloud number one poster!:D
Apart from that I don't give a **** about the swamprats.
This is about the league, Rodney.

Millky's greatest fear was a massive dick filling his vacated opening and that's exactly what's happened
 
Let's not stop there, Ant Bear recently admitted to owning 3 Nickleback albums. Enough is enough.

Cloud_ gives us a future to believe in.

The league deserves better.

Oie. I am 100% in your punting thread.
 
It's clear Ant Bear has wronged the Boys Club in some way.

This is the price he must pay.

I love how you can turn the disruption of the very moral fibres of the league into a boys club issue.

This affects all of us. We must stand together.
 
I'd applaud this except I essentially seized control of the Hawks to shape them in my own vision seeing as how Mr Eagle hasn't posted since June.

You just have to look at the OP to see Boys Club members themselves, BC associates and admirers.

**** I forgot about that thread. Think I have a live bet going in it too?
Been flat out.

Why was he fearing it?
Vote yes.

Not true.
The only other option at the time was brahj .
Hardly a better option.
