Bloody top work Barry.

Not surprised Dr Mantis Taboggan won. I had either him or Ned Ryerson winning this. Both very worthy, but Mantis just a little more worthy.

Looking at the stats, it's easy to see I will soon be king of the league.

That must be the part I was involved.
LOL - This got me interested, so yes it did start well.

I loved what you guys did but the drop off in S26 and the difficulties I faced in S27 with the midseason lull contributed to my decision to simplify things this season. I simply didn't have the time or energy to trawl through match threads on my own. I'd love to see a committed group go back to what you, GTG and BLERN did but keep up with it for an entire season.

I trust you are talking about the rookies themselves.

Good to see a more engaged crop come through in S28 :thumbsu:

Nah we totally dropped that ball lol
Dropping the ball is a little extreme but the lull hit us as well and as we got to the back end of the season we were all juggling additional responsibilities beyond the Rising Stars thread. The difference between S26 and S27 is we stayed on top of it much better.
 
History will show that they were quite silly!
Right you are my boy. Egg on their faces indeed.

I tried telling them, it was the vibe.

All these arbitrary things like decent stats and posting numbers were really just there to give those other S27 rookie losers a chance to compete.
