We appreciate the sentiment that you wouldn't hate to see us win. As you can guess from our roster we are in it more for the journey than the destination.

Despite how mean Krill is to me, I find your TEAM and the whole concept behind it hilarious, so I wouldn't mind losing to you as well .
I should mention that I am not going to be doing chats this game. Dial me up to talk about supermodels, football (global or American), politics, etc. anytime you want. Just no RBDG1 talk. Nothing personal, I'm not chatting with any of the teams, because a) I don't want to invest the time, and b) after PB2 I think chats ruin the game.

Perfect. We don't want to be in chat with them anyway. As an eventual enemy no instant reads from us.

Personally I think Darrell's full of shit hedging bs email deserves a meme picture response. Perhaps...

I am down with that if you are good with that.
No doubt they are thick as thieves with Paper Cut. To be expected given how much novice and 7 love each other.

"More in it for the journey than the destination..." Go fuck yourselves. 
I'm definitely good with the Scumbag Steve picture, though we should wait for Voice of Reason Krill to weigh in.

My proposed response:
Dear Trolls:
Krill has placed on his Darrell decoder ring, and thus we have the following understanding of your message:
Quote:We have an agreement with Gillette to keep our respective scouting information confidential without first obtaining permission to share, so alas we will be unable to provide any details on that subject. Our relations have been fairly amicable to this point, although given our proximity and the distribution of resources between us there is little doubt friction will develop.
We are super BFFs with Team Paper Cut because novice and 7 are besties from way back. We definitely plan on settling aggressively in your direction, but don't think we can admit that openly.

I don't really know what to say, but you guys said some nice things about our team and we better make some nice small talk that way it isn't so completely obvious that our diplo interests lie in befriending TPC.

What I didn't say, and hope you guys are too stupid to notice, is that other team members are doing lots of chats--just not with you. Scooter has been blowing us up with friendly chats on Gmail, but since we don't really want to be friends with you, I figured my refusal to chat might paper over that unsaid truth.
Our response:
Sincerely,
TEAM

That makes us look paranoid. Sending just the picture keeps them guessing about our intentions and current understanding of them.
