and there you have it, 10 reasons why serial_thrilla is the worst.

Feel free to give your own reasons on why the Dragons captains is a stain on the league.

5 reasons serial_thrilla is beloved and/or respected by many (I'm too lazy to do 10, so STFU already)​

5. Strength - the captaincy thrust upon him

At the end of Season 30, beloved former skipper now turned coach AceAndy was like "thrilla, you're the captain now. I'm going to play Animal Crossing. Ciao" and then serial was indeed the captain.
Some would cry for their mummies or ask that the admin should have given a heads-up, or something, but not serial. He stood up, took the weight upon himself and said "is that all there is?" and got down to work immediately.



4. Mentoring - the new generations of rooks wouldn't have a clue without him

Let's face it, all rookies after Season 30 suck donkey balls (except for Dragons rookies, obviously). The only reason any of them had any "success" is because of thrilla. Some of them would struggle to find the "New Thread" button, let alone work out how to create any form of media that doesn't immediately get landfilled. Now granted you can only polish a turd so much, but I would argue he at least has polished some turds into Ford Fiestas.



3. Recruiting - has an ability to pull some aces out of the deck, including bringing the big man himself onboard

It's no secret thrilla has also had some success pulling some stellar recruits, and not just the rooks - he managed to distract the big Chief himself long enough from his big money pile and BigFooty sponsored "companions" to join the Dragons. Who else has the owner of the entire site playing for them? No one else, that's who. On the flip side he also got rid of the traitorous MC Bad Genius , using his excellent foresight to realise he had to cut the future Judas quickly. Yes, MC would claim he left of his own accord, but it's kind of like when some disgraced CEO "steps down" instead of being fired. This is a big tick on the culture impact serial has.



2. Stats - the obvious one

No one does stats like serial. Some say he dreams stats, eats stats and even has a doona covered in stats. He is the stats man, and the league loves it. Okay so boring saps like ND say otherwise, but that's just because they can't count beyond 10. Now this is just my theory, but I believe every single thing he does and says in the league is weighted on his own special calculations that will tip things toward a certain goal. Whether that's saving the league or destroying, well... that brings us to the final point.


1. Revelations - he wants to destroy the league, probably


Okay, hear me out. Those with an IQ above 90 know that sometimes, just sometimes, where some might try to constantly renovate.... sometimes you need to bulldoze the lot and start again. serial, with all the ability to see things in stats and chances like some sort of SFA Neo, knows how the league REALLY needs to be saved - and it ain't with bandaids and lollipops. In reality thrilla, at the very least, wants to shine a spotlight on all the misgivings of the league and his approach may well be considered "be cruel to be kind".
Is serial really evil in this sense? I say no, quite the opposite. Am I also hoping for extra KFC by saying all this? Also probably.






And there you have it. Feel free to give your own reasons on why the Dragons captains is a star of the league. Or post some sock puppets in support of the man, that works too.

Bloody hell mate this isn't co-captaincy, this is human centipede.

More like "team your tongue is giving thrills a prostate check", amirite?

tbf. They're not really pies in the Aussie sense of the word. More tart/flan.
Pie has a pastry lid.

When are we going to see your MyAnimeList. Aside from the obvious 10 you've given Nichijou.

HaD to think on this (Outside of number 1)

1. Hajime No Ippo - (The humour, the story, the fact it's sport based, absolutely adore it).



2. PSYCHO-PASS season 1 (True examination into the mind, twists at every turn).

3. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood (No list is complete without it)

4. Steins Gate season 1 (Fantastic animation and story - TOOTAROO)

5. Mob Psycho 100 (Weird, funky, amazing animation and very heart warming)

Had a list of about 10 others that could have easily been part of it.

they are more interested in socks up their hands to represent some sort of autosockerotica.

Socks up our hands sounds like some form of body modification fetish.

Think you mean hands up socks... Although there are a lot of assumptions being made around what is inside the sock.

I'm just happy that you're keeping the weird gear in here rather than on the Freo board. Van_Dyke & Snuffaluphagus would ban the sh*t out of you in a heartbeat.

How many strikes do I have?

Tend to dance around the line a little, so makes it hard to tie down.

Then every now and then...
