I never personally wanted DC but I went with what we chose but I don't think it was a bad choice at all. We probably won't win no, but we wouldn't have regardless since Virtupets all teamed together. Remember this is meant to be fun and I still love that we are all playing for the same team.Do your beat, hopefully we'll get on the Podium and bloody enjoy the AC.

Hmmm, I see where my post may could be seen as a DC forever-type campaign. xD I was just trying to be motivational with the DC stuff because everyone seems to want to just give up. Whatever team ck decides next year, I wouldn't be so out with the fact I love DC because I support the site, although I will always join DC on my main account. Whatever team everyone decides next year I will support on sides, and try to help and motivate the community.
What my issue was and what I was saying I felt very negatively towards was switching teams just for the sake of being the one on #1. All that is is giving up and looking for an easy win (and I know I'm on ck talking about not picking a team just based off chances 0:-) ) and I would just feel so lame doing that. If you joined a team, you should join because you really want to play as them/support them. I'm not saying anyone has to join the same team each year as I do or that ck should, but that when things look rough or people aren't getting their way that the solution is to just hop onto another team while they can still play for their original choice.
And if people didn't have this mindset, I think the AC would be more prominent and productive on here. There is still a chance of making into the top three or scoring pretty darn close this year and if we focused on that just trying our best to get into the top three, I think that is the big accomplishment. Out of all the available teams, and I know first place is the big thing, but 3rd is still impressive especially if we know that we definitely, as a site and community, influenced that place in the Cup.
I know other sites chose other teams from reading the thread - and some of those teams were VP and HW. Our reaction shouldn't be to just get frustrated we aren't #1 and just split - but to give it our all and have some pride and stick together. Although I would have chosen DC regardless, it does feel really great to be able to play on my main with the same team that ck chose and most of the members joined.
Even if we joined another smaller team, VP would most likely still take Gold. We should just have fun and look at this as a chance to spend time working together and hanging out with the community and having fun.
I said: "if you guys generally have a team you really like than fine, go join them. I just think all going to help out a cram you think has the best chances are pretty weak :/ And not impressive by any means... The easy road isn't always the best."
I never said I felt anyone was forced / pressured to join any particular team. I think team hopping is really weak. When things get rough, the thought shouldn't be to give up and abandon and go to some other team. Nor should you like a team just because of their chances. :/ That is a really unfun way to play AC and make it less enjoyable for you and other players who are relying on you to back the team you first joined.
Oh, and KI is another great ck idea for that comparison you came up with. I like it.

Blah. I haven't had too much interest in the AC this year as there doesn't seem to be any mac-friendly things for it and doing it legit is just incredibly tedious, I did get to rank 3 on my own, but sitting still for too long when I'd rather be out of the house.. not good.
That and I've spent most of the last few days tanning my white as fuck legs off at the beach, and being my charmingly drunk self. I hate being inside when it's been so nice out.
Oh wait. I may have found a way around that. THERE STILL MAY BE HOPE FOR ME YET.

If we all pull together i think we can get into the top 3.

Yeah, let's not give up guys. We still have a chance. We might not give the highest scores/numbers but consistency might get us that spot.
Continue sending them scores..
We can do this!
We still have a chance on being on the podium. Dont give up!
I don't know why people are losing hope now, come on guys it's just the beginning! Also @(you need an account to see links) that was a beautiful DC speech. I've also supported them since ACI so fuck DC hate. I'm never changing my team.

Aww but you could've gone easy on poow widdle us in LD. On a more serious note, that was way closer than I thought it would be.
