Lol minimum post count requirements

Almost sounds like an abuse of power…

Greetings loyal listeners, and thank you for tuning into what is sure to be scandalous, and club shaking, episode of PMBangers Perplexing Puzzles​

This week, your presenter was tipped off by a source that there was some unethical goingons within the league. This source pointed me towards the brilliant work of TheInjuryFactory and his Club Power Rankings for Season 36 . A widely respected and eagerly anticipated rankings, TiF uses an unbiased formula, which combines the off-field and on-field work of every club and ranks them, it’s frankly this forums best seasonally media work. At first glance nothing seemed off, but my dear friend Headless put it best when he said ‘The Wonders have gone from runners up to 5th in one season!’, or something along those lines.

A closer look suggests that the Wonders should, by all rights, be in the top 2 given they made the grand final in Season 35 and boast impressive posting numbers consistently. TiF mentioned that the loss of some key personnel played a part, two co-captains in Brenton Davy and Frothies Mcveigh left in one off season.

Odd don’t you think? Two senior leadership group members heading off in one go? It couldn’t have been for on field reasons, with both holding prime positions and the Wonders waltzing their way to the big dance, so that could only leave off field as the main motivation. Now some may say that Brenton’s pre existing, and suspiciously close, relationship with Royals representative Cadsky was the main factor in him going to the Royals, but we here simply do not accept assumptions, and respect hard evidence.

I reached out to both Brenton and Frothies for comment on the matter, and some of the things they revealed to me simply are too shocking to release on a public forum, so I’ve taken some snippets from the findings to give the picture.





Damning testimonials from the former Co-Captains of the club, but two former and disgruntled members of the club can’t be trusted entirely can they? Afterall there’s bound to be some tension regardless of how ‘amicable’ a break up is. Fortunately this isn’t the only source I have.

I was contacted by multiple current Wonders players when rumours of this investigation broke, after much negotiation, one member risked it all to meet with me and reveal some of the shocking truths about what is happening inside the Colosseum.


And with that evidence in front of us, it has to be asked, is the culture the Wonders are producing crap? Just this reporters opinion of course, but if you ask me, something smells… Cheesy​

Incredible, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes!

Love it.

PMBangers did your sources reveal whether the posting enforcement also involved some clause regarding the quality of posting? I just want to ascertain the veracity of their claims.

Love it.

We get threatened with being moved to pockets, or the bench if we don’t respond to every team pm and react to it to boost the leadership groups reaction score!

Oddly defensive there Clarkey

Mang such information wasn't revealed or discussed, but based on the empirical evidence available, I think it's fair to say that quantity was the main metric being focused on

I’m a fan of what you’re trying to do here. I’d rather you have your little fun and then come back to me when you become a big boy okay .

Go Wonders! Undefeated, all 20 players posting, all the deadwood out (except for Crowwy)… what a club! Just the best club there is and always will be!

 

[Gralin]

Interesting choice of words given the allegations

What the Wonders have never gotten a grasp of is that all the quantity in the world won't do much good if you have no quality whatsoever.

Zero times four hundred is still zero.

Clarkey, as the longest serving member of the Wonders, and the 5th best poster in terms of quality on the list, your lack of denial backed by evidence is damning. Do you believe former West Coast Wonders greats such as SweetD and uh, um, well at least SweetD would be proud of the authoritarian rule that you have allowed to takeover your club?

Sure you guys are more successful on field now than in recent history, but at what cost?

 

[damicky]

Interesting, and not too surprising for anyone having witnessed the Wonders recently, things are not all sunshine and roses amongst their ranks.

The evidence here suggests the most toxic culture in the league, possibly even approaching BTGID if more gets discovered.

What say you damicky ?

Authoritarian? Did you mean to say completely fabricated?

No such rule exists. And if it does then I’m hearing about them now for the first time and colour me shocked!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

It's amazing that these things are out in the open for all to see, yet we remained ignorant to it for so long

never let it be said of you, young Bangers.

#lolWonders

go pull weeds from your team’s cemetery of players.

You can choose to remain in denial of the wrongdoings Clarkey, SOME people in the league and in the Wonders wanted a clean conscious and I commend them for that

 

[damicky]

One can only imagine the zingers being exchanged in the NC PM right now

I am certain meth is not good for one’s ability to be conscious. Please give it up lest you end up at the Boot Hill of the comp - the Cemetery Island Never Wazzes.

Oh dear Horry, the grammar deflection? I thought you of all members of the Wonders would be above deflection

Linguistic descriptivism is the way to go.

 

[PMBangers]

Linguistic descriptivism is the way to go.

And you've always said that

 

[Headless]

And you've always said that

Headless approved!

 

[serial_thrilla]

The Wonders Sweat Shop continues to slave away under adverse conditions. smh

Live scenes at the Colosseum as players strive to meet their quota:

 

[Gralin]

Oh dear Horry, the grammar deflection? I thought you of all members of the Wonders would be above deflection

Who do you think will crack first among the ring leaders?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

And you've always said that

while disappearing down his own neck hole as seems the fate of all deconstructivists…. Have Yorick and our beloved Headless ever been seen in the same room?
