Indeed a basement battle. We where hoping to win this one game, as it was one of the few we had some remote chance at winning. Next game it would take a miracle, but we will look for said miracle!

I loved the "Battle of the Basement" title for our game.


I just watched our Battle and it was a good one. Fighting for a little respect I think. Your guys made a valiant comeback effort. Onward and upward to better things next season.

Jlyman and Brucehum,

I love the positive attitude. Understanding that it takes time to both build a winning francise and still using each game as a measurement for future success is the key to this game.

Every single game is a learning experience, even if it just teaches you what not to do. I applaud both of you for your competitiveness despite your record as well as your dedication to the longterm success of your teams.

The beauty of this game is that it can take seasons to achieve success but it's all about the process that makes this a great sim. I like to give the example of my team in the Arena league. When I took it over, the team was a mess and in a division with 2 great owners that dominated. It took me 6 seasons to finally reach the playoffs but that made it that much sweeter.

Unfortunately that league, now that I'm primed to make a run at the title has stopped spinning because we dont have enough owners. If either of you wants another team, it's a good opportunity to grab one you can mold into a winner.

I'm not questioning jlyman's game at all....I just love the long term vision.

It gets old when owners join a league, dont have immediate success and bail after 1 season or less. This game isnt designed for instant success.

So basically, I was applauding both of them for having a high level of commitment.

Sorry Jlyman, if it came off like I doubted you game, didnt mean to at all

No, no I knew what you meant. Jlyman is sneaky. Few leagues but I've put it into my memory for when I face him that he's tough competition. :)

I also know how you feel running 4 leagues and having GMs bail at the first sight of struggle/conflict.

They can't deal and biz-ounce.

It’s all good! I didn’t take anything the wrong way, knew how you meant things. :)

I knew taking on this team it would be an uphill battle for at least a few seasons. But our defense has actually done a lot better than I expected given the slowness in the secondary.

I would take another team to help out, but I’m kind of swamped in real life and just don’t think I would have the time necessary to take care of business. Disappointing, but such is life.

Hopefully in the future you'll have the free time to take it on. :)

No worries Jlyman. I understand if you cant but I wanted to offer both of you an invitation. Taking on a team is a fulltime commitment and we all have a limit on time to invest.

I really don't have time for another team... but... I got Toronto in Arena, as I'm dropping my most succesful team so far:: Houston in MFN-82, with whom I reached the semifinals. Why? Because Houston says nothing to me. I had joined that league to help it stay alive, so I might exchange 1 team...

Doubts to get the pirates, as I many of my teams are pirate themed, or a Canadian team... I went for Canadian team.
