You have two teams. Ancient rivals.
The Damnatio: Team motto “Destroy or Be Destroyed”
On one side,you have a team full of individuals who care about their own glory. They only acknowledge their team mates when it suits them, because its really only about themselves. They are striving to make a name for themselves. The only sacrifices they make are ones they believe will get them more fame, more acknowledgment, more of what they want. They play to win, but only for the glory and power that comes with it.
Their coach, is one who cares nothing for the players, he only cares about winning and revenge. His players are only pawns in the game to get what he wants.
This coach is arrogant and self centered. He pushes his players to exhaustion, and when they get burned out, he replaces them without a second thought. In this world there is an endless supply of men who want glory for themselves, and this coach promises that. He promises glory, fortune and fame,(everything your heart desires, money, women, a name for yourself) but in the end, in his eyes they are all replaceable. Nothing but tools to get what he wants. At the end of this career, if you last that long, everything you thought you gained, will have been long gone. You will have been forgotten, along with the other men who made the same choices.
The Sarcologos: Team motto “One team, One dream”
On the other side, you have the definition of what a team should be . They are in this together. They are one, working together as one body to one goal. Caring, not just for themselves, but for each other. Its not just about winning, its about the game itself. At the head you have a great coach, one who has experience and great knowledge. He loves, and cares for his team. He values each individual for their own unique talent. They all work together to create a team. This coach knows when to push his players, and when to let up. He believes in patiently teaching them his playbook, but also believes in discipline. They are irreplaceable. He makes sure to know each one, to create a intimate relationship with each one of his players,offering encouragement and advice when they need it. He is an honest man, who expects his players to work hard. He also takes the full responsibility for his team. Its not easy being on this team, because he doesn’t promise fortune and fame necessarily. What he offers is much more valuable, he offers that if you play for his team, you will have some of the greatest moments of your life. And at the end of your career you will be honored forever, and your name will go into the Hall of Fame.
These teams have been fighting each other for a very long time. Each team has had their share of victories. They are tough competitors, its all or nothing.
Each team is constantly recruiting, always looking for new talent. Unfortunately, it seems The Damnatio recruits far more men into their ranks, then The Sarcologos. They exploit a man's inner desire for recognition among his fellow man. Every man wants acknowledgment, to be seen for the man he is. The Damnatio know this, they are flashy and brazen, they offer excitement. They seduce a man into their ranks with the promise of giving you everything you could ever want. Its not about talent, its about sheer number, they believe in overwhelming their competition. They make you believe you have freedom, when in reality your enslaved
in doing only what they want.
The Sarcologos on the other hand are quieter, more reserved. They let a man decide if he wants in, or not, the choice is his to make. They know their team speaks for itself. “One Team, One Dream”. They believe in honor, and through honor, you receive glory. They work hard in everything they do. They are champions to the core. They only want men who have the drive in being the greatest team . They know few men are able to resist the more flashy colorful message of The Damnatio, but they don't believe in compromising their team's principles just to recruit more men into their ranks. Once you become a member of The Sarcologos, you are a member for life. You will never be forgotten for your contributions you made for the team.
Every person gets to play in this game, no one gets to sit out. Everyone gets to choose which team they want to play for.
Which team do you think you play for? Which side will you be on when both teams come face to face on the field for the World Cup?
