just remember those babies grow in strength and will come back and fight you when stronger.
beating babies is no fun when you get little xp from them.

Fair point - the only time when that`s fun is when you`ve had too much to drink, and your grem gets kicked in by everyone else (by no fault of your own) - then it`s acceptable to bully others below you in the league... If not, they`ll probably become stronger than your grem and overtake you, and you don`t want that to happen now, do you???
I`m sorry, but my grem isn`t living up to the standard of my past grems, and it`s annoying me somewhat... That, and my inability to pull, but that`s a different story..:P

Choose Grems. Choose likes. Choose dislikes. Choose a ****ing silly name. Choose the rabbit, deer, fluffy doggy, dinosaur, crow or camel. Choose low strength, high dexterity and high stamina. Choose a birthdate to coincide with your friend`s grems. Choose your enemies. Choose your friends. Choose a forum post with matching opinions. Choose your 10 challenges from a range of ****ing gremlins. Choose staying up for the league update, wondering where you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that chair, watching mind-boggling, bone-crunching fights, stuffing ****ing humble pie into your opponents mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, fishing around for opponents with 1500+ in dexterity and stamina, earning nothing more than an embarrasing 3 XP points from the selfish jumped-up brats that have spawned to replace your top spot.

As far as ethics go, it`d be rude not to challenge *any* gremlin regardless of XP, league position etc. At the end of the day, they have the right to refuse. Just bear that in mind if you ever feel guilty about bullying little gremlins... :P

I feel the same about my nancy grem bananasquisher... the only reason I`m letting him live is cause I know the ones around me are willing to challange me, he is loosing most of his fights and the only reason he wins any is cause he runs away....lol....few of my rounds last the full 20 when his bigger brother you could guarantee at least a decent fight.... roll on squishers pension...he`s a drain on the xp society!

Know the feelling Willy >:(
He refused me today as well, it`s those damn links being so close, i`m sure he ment to click accept :/ , why would he refuse, just think of all the XP he is missing out on (for free as well).
with al that extra XP he could be an even bigger bully to all those new baby gremlins ;)
