Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 18 Las Vegas Bears v West Coast Wonders at The Stadium in the Sky

[Chipmunk]

I thought the Chess factor was the bigger similarity

You haven’t ever tried to recruit a certain other Brit so I can only assume that you joined because you miss Australia and are sick of your fellow Poms anyway

Shh … one day I’ll get everyone in the chess team and they’ll be the new expansion team

More likely to be the replacement team the way things are going

 

[BFew]

BFew did the “West Coast” factor draw you to the wonders in your rookie season?

Conversely for the many non-Eagles Wonders, I wonder if it puts you off

Absolutely.

First come first served too.

I didn't even bother looking at the alternatives teams when I was approached by Ressie.

Plus Wonders, WCE and Claremont WAFL colours (Navy Blue & Gold) are not too dissimilar either.

But when I saw how SEXY the Wonders team were, it was more a case of when than if.

Not surprising that I hadn't been attempted to be recruited earlier.

Since until I played my first BF Werewolf game a few months before that, I deliberately had my BF privacy settings set to not allow other BF members people to initiate new DM conversations with me unless I was following them.
As I found out early on in my short initial Werewolf career, when the Werewolf game mod could not include me in a DM to be able to play, and had to get someone who could BF DM me to message me to urgently change my BF privacy settings.

And now that I've semi-retired from playing BF Werewolf, I've gone back to my pre-Werewolf game BF privacy settings, which also makes it much harder for other teams to try and recruit me, which AnUltimateRessie will be pleased to hear.

I’m still on the high from the draft haul earlier in the week

I retired from werewolf over a year ago and I don’t see myself returning anytime soon or ever

But I have too many non-werewolf and SFA links to close my PMs

I’ve had my fair share of horrible PMs but luckily almost all of those were years ago

 

[BFew]

He lived in the UK when younger so I dropped the ball on not sending a recruitment message

It wasn't until my 3rd WW game in a row Nov/Dec 2023 that AnUltimateRessie (also playing WW then) first ever DM'ed me and asked me to join the Wonders.

I just checked and you (Chippy) were also playing in those first 3 games.

Was there anything in my Werewolf playing that put you off approaching me like Chippy did, or was it just the timing of the SFA season cycle and the Bears having such a top gun team, that they were in no need of a refresh or backup?

Understandable if your recruitment manager was just in hibernation then during the off-season.

I was retired then, and just inking the deal to come out of retirement to join the Bears!

 

[Pamcake1]

Have they. I wouldn't know.

Also this persons noted practice of only baiting Demure Princess and me, reveals that they have a misogynistic issues that they need to overcome.

 

[Pamcake1]

This season we've had poems, country songs, dad jokes, stories, and more to announce the team each week.

This week its just the team.

B: NinjaSwan / akkaps / jezzajay
HB: SSwans2011 / AnUltimateRessie / Rubber Arm
C: BFew / Giant YoYo / Cubs2Lions
HF: BigChippa52 / DenieD / BallaratBulldog
F: Roonescape / HARPSichord / croweater 41
FOLL: dogs105 / Pamcake1 / ClarkeM
INT: Ressies SwampPig / JT_the_Man

Time to beat the Bears and head into finals.

Well that is something different from you El Capitano. Not even a graphic to inspire. Keeping hopes at a low ebb to save any disappointment eh.

 

[BFew]

I have too many non-werewolf and SFA links to close my PMs

Likewise, I have rarely or ever closed an existing PB DM (Conversation) from my 7 years on BF, which I joined for the crime threads as opposed to chat about footy. Possibly never.

I retired from werewolf over a year ago and I don’t see myself returning anytime soon or ever

Apart from your guest entry into the recent Town of Salem and Dr Who BF WW games I also played.

I think you are mistaken here, but he has been baiting the whole league for many seasons and hasn't just been targeting women. I understand you don't like him and you are entitled to that opinion but I think you might have this one wrong.

 

[Pamcake1]

It would normally have me pinching my nose being a fundamentalist old school AFL peep but I came here bc of knowing GUH in WW and then you know how it goes, El Capitano made an me an offer and I said, 'what the is Qooty?' and the rest is history.

 

[BFew]

I think you are mistaken here, but he has been baiting the whole league for many seasons and hasn't just been targeting women. I understand you don't like him and you are entitled to that opinion but I think you might have this one wrong.

BF Baiting 101 states the bleeding obvious, that thou must bait widely, lest one be accused of targeting an individual or a particularly group, or demographic of poster.

Oh he does

So if AnUltimateRessie had attempted to recruit you then, and changed his BF avatar to something like the below, in hindsight, what would have been your likely response?

Because of running the RSA Award I have been all over the SFA this season, following what is going on in all teams because of the Rookies, it is exhausting but I know what I have seen Tony. Maybe there is more that I haven't seen of player baiting but it is notable the targeted attacks on us. Anyway safely back on ignore now, so I'll pipe down about it and move on.

I’d say you’re not allowed to doxx people on BigFooty and can you please take down that gif.

 

[Senor M]

such a damicky move

Nah— I’d make an entire media thread dedicated it blaming the league, suggesting that I’m going to delete my account and never come back.

Only to return before Season 39 starts

 

[BallaratBulldog]

that I’m going to delete my account and never come back.

Gee, that would be nice.

We’ll accept card or cash, you may choose your bear.

 

[Pamcake1]

It is against the no bikini policy openly stated as part of the rules BFew

Not sure anyone or Pamcake1 1 got my joke with that giphy.

Alvin the Chipmunk's girlfriend is the Chipette Chipmunk called "Brittany".

Hence I posted a Brittany Spiers giphy.

Just don't choose the Panda BB, they are a nightmare to maintain.

Oh, I just assumed that was what AnUltimateRessie gets up to on a normal Saturday night.

It wouldn’t have been a bad shout, when I was first recruited to the Hawks their Captain used Alvin and the Chipmunks lingo. Better than just a ‘we like how you post, we’re the best, join us’

 

[BFew]

(what have I missed?)

I think I hashtagged you early on in the thread when I needed a player with the initials BB for my joke, and you were a perfect match.

See below as it's probably classic BFew enough to be repeated for the latecomers who don't read back to the start.

Ursidae loving had me a blast
Ursidae loving happened too fast
Met a Bear, Millky and free
Met a Dog, cute as BB @BallaratBulldog

Ursidaes, fading away
To uh, oh those Ursidae nights
...... etc etc
