Pungry,

Time is at a premium, so I will be as brief as possible. Many years ago, I discovered that the internal structure of the Super-League was not as resilient as I had once hoped. Ultimately, there were certain interconnected portions of the Super-League that relied on mutual support in order to survive.

To explain this concept in another way, I would ask that you consider the concept of the geodesic dome. The popular conception is that a geodesic dome grows stronger as it gets larger, as each section reinforces the other sections. That is, from a technical perspective, not true, as although it gets proportionally stronger as it gets larger, it is not as though a geodesic dome is capable of resisting fundamental forces such as gravity. Regardless, the idea that each section supports the other sections, and those other sections also support each other is similar to the workings of the Super-League.

I would explain the analogy further, but, as I said, I am pressed for time.

As I said, the structure of the Super-League is made of these interconnected sections, and to remove one is to potentially cause a great deal of damage as a result. As you have probably surmised by now, the section of the Super-League that has been removed is the South Bolton Eazy W's.

Though I am, as stated previously, pressed for time, I do think it is important to briefly restate my rationale for removing the South Bolton Eazy W's from the Super-League. As it stood, there simply was no good end for the team other than retirement. To have them face the Macho Men as they were was pointless, as the entire premise of the Macho Men is present the sternest challenge I can muster, and having a team controlled by myself face of against them is little more than the world's least interesting thought experiment. Although, to be fair, even calling it a thought experiment overstates its meaning, as pitting my own wits against my own wits proves nothing, says nothing, accomplishes nothing.

I could have, I suppose, given them to another owner, but the thought giving that storied of a team to an unknown quantity, and very likely to then have to see said unknown quantity run the Eazy W's into the ground was not a particularly palatable idea. After all, haven't we all seen that story enough in real life as it is? I am sure you, as a fan of Seattle sports, such as they are, know all too well that a poor owner can lead to misery, and I do not see the point in proving that people in the Super-League can be as foolhardy as a franchise owner.

Again, I am pressed for time, so I will leave my explanation for the decision I made at that for now, although, it may be necessary to discuss in greater detail, at some point in the future, why exactly I chose the moment in time I did to remove the W's, as, after all, it would have been just as appropriate the year before.

Indeed, as I am pressed for time, I must now pivot back to the crucial matter at hand, and that is about the stability of the Super-League as a whole. As you have noticed, the update in Week One does not contain any of the Pokemon LP that I had been using to fill space, and there is, in fact, a good reason for that decision as well.

Indeed, while my belief is that the Pokemon LP has generally been well-received and, even if that were not the case, is so much easier to create that any ire it generates is vastly outweighed by labor it saves, we stand at a moment where there is simply no time for such frivolity, as the very future of the Super-League hangs in the balance, and I am running out of time to give you an absolutely critical instruction that you will either follow, and thus have a chance to save the Super-League, or not, and therefore drat my creation to utter ruin.

This imperative, which I am about to relate to you even though, as I type these words, I see that I am only seconds away from being unable to communicate with you, is essential. Everything that ever can be from this league is dependent on you heeding these next words:

Pungry, you must not
