Go play a different game. If we had tiers in AL I would quit playing. Whatever you've done in AL to cause you to be in the position you're in is what you've done. Whether it be something you've done or a person you're associating with, you've made those choices and you either have the mental capacity and common-sensory
to move past and adjust your playing skills to overcome your adversaries or you wet yourself and cry in the corner.
Whatever players do against you should be a driving force to better yourself. Most of the little spats in AL are over in three days and never remembered past a month or so so if you're really being taken advantage of...remember them for their transgressions for a later time in the game when you've positioned yourselves accordingly and use your future to make them pay. ...or cry and quit. I guess I prefer to play this game around people with the mental strength to withstand a handful of unpleasant AL days b/c if you haven't endured that part of AL then you are missing the point of playing AL, IMO lol.
