Is Reunification still in the cards?

[Chicago]

Hey, how about we talk about whether/how much recent personnell changes in the NPPL camp aid the reunification effort?

 

[SPHEREPOINT]

Agreed. Who fills the void Chuck will be leaving and will they be stronger reunification proponents?

 

[Chicago]

The better question is "leaves NPPL" or "sells NPPL".

Since PP took a significant controlling interest in the NPPL, there is no need, as such, to replace him especially in the existing financial climate...and as for being stronger opponents???
You gotta be kiddin me Sphere, this wasn't done to facilitate a stronger opposition, if anything, it was seen as a move that could catalyze integration since soooo many of the PSP guys had a very real problem with Chuck after what happened some 4 years ago.

Jim, he's not even in the big 5 now, he's outa the loop in this one and the fact that he created the game is now pretty much academic.

And you also say the big four of Sergey, Dave, Billy and Adam can't support their teams in two leagues isn't right either.
All those guys mentioned can easily support their respective teams in both leagues so I'm not really sure of the point you are trying to make here.

hey robbo how can you say that he's not in the big 5 he gives more teams paint than anybody else and if the big 4 can really support all their teams and two seprate leagues than why is there such a call for reunification than????????????

Robbo can say Richmond is out of the loop because he has zero input on what happens with PSP or the NXL, and none of the people who do are asking him.

It also seems this is the situation because that's the way Richmond wants it.

I think he said PRO-ponents Pete.

Chi Town, do'h...apologies Sphere.

I'd write it down Pete, when your eyes start failing, memory tends to follow suit...

Jim, I am not sure how your mind is working here because you seem to be connecting things that are not really related, leastwise not connected in any causal fashion.
Richmond now works for the company that bought out ProCaps and although his day to day business is still at ProCaps, I'm afraid he has chosen to take himself out of the loop in some respects and just because ProCaps hands out more paint to a lot of teams has no bearing whatsoever on integration.


The call for integration is for other reasons not least of which is financial.

PS Chicago nailed it in one.
