Hello.
There used to be a time, when coaches would come to terms and title shots, were handed out, with some form of honor, and, new coaches would not get a shot, unless they knew how to defend, and, if a coach found a DUCKER, they posted in their subforums and the Shout Box and coaches, from EVERY ALLIANCE, would recognize and avoid that coach, as, to not screw other rightful deserving coaches. Now, some of us are in the belief that if we tell new or returning coaches, they gave a shit shot, we may scare them away, when, days past, new and returning coaches would own up, apologize and defend appropriately, or GET SKIPPED UNTIL THEY LEARNED... with coaches returning, this notion that coaches should defend properly, which, has been the cause of many arguments, due, to deep passion and love for this game and EFC BELTS FUCKING MEANING SOMETHING, should make a return. Coaches, should be given an opportunity to be explained how t defend and if they willfully ignore, how to choose rightful contenders, they should be skipped.
Now, some of you are under the impression that title shots should be AC generated as to avoid missed resets from the rightful challenger not showing or the game taking it out of the coaches hand, I 100% disagree, as, I feel if there is a way to exploit, like, how some coaches sit on streaks and magically log in for AC's they are invited to (Wow, how did they do that? Ya thunk?) and magically can find the "Accept Button" then an AUTO belt challenge WOULD AND WILL BE EXPLOITED, UNTIL EOPLE COMPLAIN FOR IT TO GO AWAY.
I ask my fellow coaches, will we honor EFC BELTS OR NOT? Are we so desperate, that we are willing to let coaches give shit defenses intentionally? And just say, fuck the rightful challenger?

And willfully ignores the message without inquiring, what happened. I get it, there's camp with four thousand something fights along with ZERO EFC BELTS. I don't expect everyone to just defend with honor or have the knowledge, but, to ignore it completely...hey.
That Xtreme Grappling guy skipped me a while back, I left a polite message, they deleted it (Fine, long as they read and defend properly, you do not have to like the other coaches) when I sent a PM to ask their thoughts, they removed themselves, without responding, see, that's a dick move, but, I would not skip that guy, because, he's unsavory, because, it's not about my feelings, it's about, what's best for the overall game. Game needs some form of integrity at some levels and, if the coaching base has gone fucking soft and we can't educate those who are new and returning, peacefully, before taking actions, how can we truly say, we deserve the growth we want, the updates we want, or the community we want?
Game was at the height and we were straight forward, abrasive, and not afraid to confront shit shots, that was just another day. We do not have to do the arguing anymore, but, we should be mindful and intentional with moving forward as a unity and community, by recognizing and enforcing consequences for shit shots, with the ability to forgive and accept coaches who come around
