BlackSilver
Some of you may have already found out and thanks Pita for telling me, but BlackSilver was hacked or taken over by some little pissbrain with a GED and scrawny arms. Far as I can see they've boxed tons of members, and the takeover has forced some, many of the MLP players, to withdraw. BlackSilver has a match tomorrow night against Bearskins as well, a match that hopefully MLP Admins will step in and reschedule because I can't quite see how the whole problem could be fixed by then. As if BS doesn't have enough problems, they're 0-4 as it is, if the problem gets so bad they can't fix it they may need to withdraw from MLP entirely, and that of course would be very bad. Surely the admins will simply move their match to a later time so Cases can step in and fix this whole fiasco, and as soon as that's finished then they can play a little catchup. That or...Bearskins could insist on making this a Yankees vs. D-Rays deal and demand a forfeit. I don't think they're like that though, they won the Sportsmanship Award season 2, I haven't seen much negative change in their attitude since then, so they'll surely understand. Among the players withdrawn so far of note: Fox Fire, richm (tooth), slam n pray, and cha0tic. Many have also been boxed for a ton of days, including Lisa, X_Monkey, and just a ton of others. People are still being boxed and withdrawing at the moment as well, but it's just an ugly situation at the moment. So if you have a name in BlackSilver I'd suggest you get it out of there fast, if you have a premium membership and bux, get them out if ya want, but like I said, ugly ugly situation right now over in BlackSilver. Here is a direct link if you wanna see how ugly it's getting:
