1. NO MATTER WHO THE OPS ARE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. SO STOP DREAMING THAT GOD WILL COME AND RUN THE LADDER FOR YOU.
2. SURE WE HAVE A FEW (AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) THAT TAKE PRIDE IN LIVING ON THE EDGE OF THE RULES AND THINK THAT THIS IS A GOOD THING, WITHOUT REGARD TO HAVING FUN AND GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP.
3. THIS LADDER IS COMPRISED OF A GROUP OF PLAYERS OF MANY ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS, RACES AND RELIGIONS, MALE AND FEMALE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, PLAYING A COMPLETIVE GAME MEANT TO BE ENJOYED, IN A RELAXING SETTING AND FOR MOST IS FREE. YET UNLIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN THE ROOM OTHER THEN THE FEW MANIPULATORS.
4. EVERY MAN AND WOMEN OF THIS LADDER HAS THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN, MAKE SUGGESTIONS, AND DO WHATEVER THEY THINK IS GOOD FOR THE LADDER AND ITS PLAYERS. BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME WHO WILL USE EVERY SITUATION THAT ARISES TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE. THEY THINK ALL THE PLAYER ON THE LADDER ARE NOT AS SMART AS THEY ARE. PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT THE PLAYERS ON THIS LADDER ARE NOT BY ANY MEANS DUMB. THEY SEE WHAT'S GOING ON, AND YOU THAT MANIPULATE, AND JUST CANT HAVE FUN STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB.
5. I SEE PLAYERS TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT FLIPSIDE AND I PLAY. DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE ANY BETTER? DO YOU THINK THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR SHARE OF JERKS AND REAR-ENDS? THE GRASS IS NEVER GREENER.
I SEE PLAYERS SAYING THINGS THEY THINK WILL IMPROVE THE LADDER. I ALSO SEE PLAYERS SAYING "THAT MIGHT WORK" OR SAYING "THAT IS DUMB" IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO SAY WHAT YOU FEEL. THATS WHAT MAKES THE LADDER WHAT IT IS. IF THERE WAS ONLY ONE COLOR THINK OF HOW BLAND IT WOULD BE AND HOW MANY WOULD CONTINUE TO PLAY IN A BORING PLACE
6. I KNOW WP HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS AND ALL THE PLAYERS CAN DO IS BYTCH (LOL), AND MANY HAVE TALKED ABOUT GOING OTHER PLACES. LOTS OF LUCK. THINK ABOUT STARTING OVER AND HAVING TO "BREAK" INTO A NEW PLACE. HAVING TO LISTEN TO THEM "BYTCHEN" ABOUT THEIR RULE BREAKERS, THEIR MANIPULATORS, THEIR "BYTCHERS" AND IN A FEW MONTHS, WHAT YOU WILL HAVE IS WHAT YOU HAVE NOW!
THEN YOU WILL START "LOOKEN"FOR ANOTHER PLACE. AND THE CYCLE WILL GO ON AND ON. BUT THAT'S THE "AMERICAN" WAY.
7. WHY DON'T WE ALL JUST STAY AT WP CONTINUE TO WATCH THE FEW TRY AND JERK PLAYERS AROUND, PUT UP WITH THE OPS WHO DON'T COME AROUND, READ AND LISTEN TO THE COMPLAINTS, GET HACKED WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE BEEN SCREWED, LAUGH AND JOKE, HAVE FUN, PLAY THE "FREE" GAME PROVIDED FOR YOU IN A RELAXING SETTING, COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NUMBER OR LACK OF TOURNAMENTS, LISTEN TO THE BRAVO OF THE "BIG" GAMBLERS WHO WANT TO PLAY FOR "BIG MONEY, AND WILL FLY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO MEET, BUT MOST OF ALL ENJOY THE FELLOWSHIP, AND FRIENDSHIPS THAT COME ALONG WITH THE A COMPLETIVE GAME WE CALL "GIN"
