I know that all of you remember my last blog about this sacred FPL group called "no trade".
The rules could not be more simple.


Yet someone thought he would go unnoticed. He was wrong.
100% of his posts are FPL related - this was no mistake!

Okay sure. He joined a total of 70 FPL groups, among them "Sweden", "Canada", "Québec", "Oklahoma" and "Belgium" so one could argue that he is not quite there mentally or has a very interesting life.
But there is no excuse.



I am here to publicly shame "yakmonay" who we let dwell amidst our ranks, believing him to be one of us. We let him wield the sword of NO TRADE but he poisoned our family from within, seeking to destroy us and everything we stand for.

For shame I say, for shame.

I am the representative of the 1-man group, "LOTS of trades". My group is the enemy of the no-trade group, yet we (I) agree with your sentiments. I am here to say that this man must respect the trades that he is allowed, lest he sink into darkness. He shall repent and leave our sight or be publicly humiliated for all time.

I thought there were two in there last season. I noticed you. We may be sworn enemies but we agree that one has to depend upon one's comrades, otherwise chaos ensues !

“Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.” - Brene Brown

“Shame is a soul eating emotion.”
― C.G. Jung

Kirsty Eagar
“Shame isn't a quiet grey cloud, shame is a drowning man who claws his way on top of you, scratching and tearing your skin, pushing you under the surface.”
― Kirsty Eagar, Raw Blue

“To be shame-bound means that whenever you feel any feeling, need or drive, you immediately feel ashamed. The dynamic core of your human life is grounded in your feelings, needs and drives. When these are bound by shame, you are shamed to the core.”
― John Bradshaw, Healing the Shame that Binds You

As long as he does not join The Templar in his crusade of error, he is forgiven as soon as he leaves. I do not want to harm him, I just want him to stop harming us.

Sir, I would never harm your beloved group. But it is disrespectful to call my motives in trading a third of my team each week a "crusade of error". Trading, as we all know, does indeed add a safety net when a bad pick occurs, such as Hydra in round 1, but it also introduces a complexity into the game and requires analysis after the initial picks are done.

I fully understand its fiendish appeals. On second or any thought, putting RorO and Shine on antiteam might have been a bad idea but how can I betray them ? I chose those hopeful warriors of failure and believed into my choice until the very end. I cannot find any reasoning in betraying my past-self and doubting his intentions. I am sure that everything unfolded just as he intended.

Hello there. I was with you in that group last season where I made the maximum possible 12 trades (3 trades a week for 4 weeks) and actually got a mention in this article http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=442785. Unfortunately, I am not sure whether I can join this round because I have only made 2 out of 3 possible trades in the first week (I really couldn't find any good deals for my anti-team.) Just to clarify, how many trades is considered LOTS of trades?

@OP
I'm with you in RorO anti-team (balls of steel), which is now the 6th highest group! Hopefully I don't find a good trade for RorO, if not I will have to leave the group in shame.

What bugged me most in that article is that some unknown hero got the award for best team without trading but did not join no trade. :/

I would like to know yakmoney's thoughts ....."There are groups ? I will join all of them."
Team LR, grubby's mods, Liquipedia, he even is the third member of the "Double Dutch Dragons"

@Pangpootata Oh god I did not even notice that there are only two members in RorO anti-team (balls of steel). If you leave I am the only one left

Honorary shoutout to BisuDagger for joining the "First Time FPL" group just so that he can be first somewhere, sometimes I think this is all just a game to you guys ..

At least as many as possible minus 1 is minimum. So you could still join.
