"Need a Ride to School?" - ArtNJ - 07-11-2012 05:36 AM
I just noticed that this is the message displayed beneath the Master League banner.
I think its borderline creepy and, even if its not, its ineffective in conveying a sense of accomplishment.
I dont have a suggestion I am overly fond of yet, but just about anything would be better.

I think it's apt.

Did you have a bad experience involving a ride to school, Art? Do you want to talk about it?

I'm no native english speaker, but the way I understand this 'motto' if you want to call it so is that Master League players offer other players a ride to school in the sense that they completely humiliate them with superior strategy and thus 'teaching' their opponent something or at least making them feel like they belong in Outwitters-school to improve their skills.
Sorry that this was one sentence, my supply of '.'s is running low.

LOL, ok, ok, no one else thinks its weird. I guess no one else has young kids, and has had to teach them that its bad when a stranger offers you a ride to school. That is what comes to mind when I read that. I get that it seems like its just me, and thats fine. Overruled. If there were more that felt the way I do about it, I would suggest something congratulatory, but maybe also with a touch of humor to show that there is a way to go. Something like "The Best of the Best. Almost"

Crime is a lot better in most of the US than it was 35 years ago when I was growing up. But even in a nice town like mine, many still dont let young kids walk to school because of fear of perverts, and if you do let them walk to school, you make sure to teach them to say no if offered a ride.

I dont have a problem with the current one, but I do love "best of the best, almost "

Speaking of that, what are the mottos for the other leagues?
