[Doubtful Demon]: welcome everyone!!!
[Empty Waves]: Hello?
[Doubtful Demon]: GROUND RULES: You are only allowed in this chat if you have never been on a championship-winning team before. If your current team wins the championship, you’re out. If you transfer to a championship team, you’re out.
[Doubtful Demon]: special situations determined on case-by-case basis. feel free to add friends and teammates if they satisfy the above criteria! but try to keep it to us (sorta) rookies
[Tide]: So what’s the point of this chat exactly…?
[Ghost Firefly]: camaraderie!
[Soul Healer]: commiseration
[Doubtful Demon]: competition :) it’s a race to get outta here!
[Doubtful Demon]: oh yeah no leaving unless you’re no longer eligible to be here. you are all now stuck here with us :)
[Empty Waves]: Oh, sounds fun!
[Carved Ghost]: with all due respect you have a weird definition of fun
[Ghost Firefly] added [Cross Knife] and 6 others to the chat.

[Doubtful Demon] added [Cross Knife] to the chat.
[Doubtful Demon]: no no no, lil xiangxiang, there’s only one way out of here :)
[Cross Knife]: fuck you im muting
[Dark Forest]: Is this hazing
[Doubtful Demon]: no don’t worry we are all very nice people :)
[Dark Forest]: Oh
[Carved Ghost]: hm
[Tide]: Actually, logically speaking shouldn’t we want a certain level of toxicity in this chat?
[Tide]: Like, so that there’s actually incentive to leave?
[Ghost Firefly]: huh i dont think thats what we were really goin for here
[Ghost Firefly]: you want ppl to be toxic?
[Doubtful Demon]: well i can be really mean to you if you need that incentive! i need practice anyway
[Doubtful Demon]: your
[Doubtful Demon]: face
[Doubtful Demon]: .
[Carved Ghost]: …
[Ghost Firefly]: …
[Tide]: …You know what? Never mind
[Empty Waves]: I think we should keep this chat nice and nontoxic
[Ghost Firefly]: like glue
[Empty Waves]: like glue!
[Ghost Firefly]: okay fang rui i know you said way back not to add any of our seniors
[Ghost Firefly]: but consider
[Ghost Firefly]: legendary two-time second place finisher
[Ghost Firefly]: zhang jiale
[Doubtful Demon]: ….oh fuck you’re right
[Doubtful Demon]: the comedic potential of the no.1 no.2 stuck in here hahahahahaha
[Wind Carving]: Um… please don’t bother Captain
[Doubtful Demon]: ok ah well
[Doubtful Demon]: a moment of silence for the season 7 championship, which failed to liberate any of our number from this chat
[Delilo]: fuck tiny herb
[Wind Carving]: :(
[Ghost Firefly]: next year boys
[Soul Healer]: maybe we’ll see some transfers this summer though?
[Doubtful Demon] added [Firebird Messenger] and 5 others to the chat.
[Doubtful Demon]: hi friends
[Doubtful Demon]: lost a few members to transfers but it’s still getting crowded up in the chat
[Doubtful Demon]: shall we start a betting round to see whos the next outta here
[Cross Knife]: me

[Delilo]: fuck you
[Cross Knife]: 1v1 me right now

[Ghost Firefly]: /eating melon seeds
[Doubtful Demon]: ah, youth :’)
[Soul Healer]: guess he didn’t mute after all haha
[Cross Knife]: Ha fuckers get fucked
[Cross Knife] left the chat.
[Dark Forest]: I can’t believe this chat is my primary source of transfer news
[Doubtful Demon]: ughhhh we’re not living up to our chat name! it’s “and you’re kicked” not “and you can leave”!
[Doubtful Demon]: defeats the whole point :(
[Soul Healer]: ok just for you
[Soul Healer] added [Cross Knife] to the chat.
[Cross Knife]: ???????
[Doubtful Demon] removed [Cross Knife] from the chat.
[Doubtful Demon]: ah that feels much better. as always my healer’s got my back :)
[Firebird Messenger]: HAHA
[Delilo]: incredible
[Firebird Messenger]: question so like, what about if you personally have never won a championship before, but your team has at some point? like it’s not like YOU’VE won a championship right? so why not be in this chat?
[Doubtful Demon]: nah, it’s about the team you’re on.
[Doubtful Demon]: at least for the purposes of this. championship teams, different vibes. even if you then transfer out, it still leaves a mark on you
[Doubtful Demon]: but if you wanted you could make another chat called Small Players ONLY Win Championship And You’re Kicked
[Dark Forest]: Small Players ONLY 1.75m And You’re Kicked
[Firebird Messenger]: HAHA yes please
[Firebird Messenger]: wait i have another question, what happens with relegation?
[Bright Blossoms]: None of us are in danger of that though right?
[Ghost Firefly]: hm yeah this kind of ended up being a midtier team gc
[Soul Healer]: but
[Soul Healer]: you see ee now, it can happen to anyone
[Doubtful Demon]: well there’s no reason to be kicked since you haven’t won. but i guess if you want to leave in that case it’s okay
[Doubtful Demon]: same if you end up retiring, but hopefully that’s still some ways off for all of us
[Ghost Firefly]: yes this is our springtime of youth
[Dark Forest]: Does Excellent Era’s relegation cancel out its championship team status?
[Doubtful Demon]: no???
[Ghost Firefly]: yeah with their record theyd have to get relegated three times to even begin to consider it hahaha
[Empty Waves]: We’ll be taking our leave now :)
[Empty Waves]: Everyone, it’s been good
[Cloud Piercer]: mm
[Cloud Piercer] left the chat.
[Empty Waves] left the chat.
[Doubtful Demon]: BRO wtf we’ve been over this! you can’t remove YOURSELF that’s CHEATING
[Doubtful Demon]: i had such faith in you guys too :(
[Soul Healer]: so do you wanna…
[Doubtful Demon]: sigh no it’s not worth it
[Doubtful Demon] removed [Moon-Luring Frost] and 4 others from the chat.
[Firebird Messenger]: wow, samsara had a lot of people here!
[Soul Healer]: yeah their team has a lot of recent debuts
[Doubtful Demon]: congratulations to them, the rest of y’all here better behave
[Ghost Firefly]: damn too bad zjl nor ljy were in here
[Ghost Firefly]: wouldve really felt some kinda way to finally kick em out, and for THIS
[Ghost Firefly] added [Blue Exorcist] and 5 others to the chat.
[Ghost Firefly]: welcome to our noobs!
[Blue Exorcist]: if this is a “small teams” chat why aren’t there more players from seaside, radiant etc?
[Ghost Firefly]: ask fang rui
[Doubtful Demon]: ok well when i was adding people i was mostly going by like
[Doubtful Demon]: activity in the main chat
[Doubtful Demon]: and how well i knew them
[Doubtful Demon]: and then when others add people it’s mostly their friends anyway
[Carved Ghost]: you sure it’s not because the author was just too lazy to think of a whole bunch of new characters and account names?
[Doubtful Demon]: no it’s very natural
[Ghost Firefly]: tyranny vs samsara the monopoly continues F
[Soul Healer]: F
[Bright Blossoms]: Good run to everyone in playoffs, though!

[Boundless Sea]: no! only the ppl eligible
[Carved Ghost]: which is like half of them
[Boundless Sea]: i firmly believe in the motivation this chat provides ok
[Loulan Slash]: Could someone please explain what this group is?
[Ghost Firefly]: fighting back against the gold monopoly of the elite ruling class
[Ghost Firefly]: viva la revolution!
[Loulan Slash]: …I see
[Soul Healer]: actually can we nerf samsara please this is getting kind of ridiculous
