Bigly Important GLB Announcement!

FS Glossy Eyes (S5 birth, S16 WL MVP) just played in his 1,000th regular season game! He is now over 2,440 days (>6.5 years) old, sits at #9 on the All-Time FS HOF list, and is just shy of 8,000 Fame.

Glossy has been pumping iron and popping pills in the retirement home for almost 50 seasons. The hammering effects of decline initially dropped him to an EL of ~8 and a Player Value of ~200, but through hard work and determination he has slowly but steadily built back up to an EL of 50 and PV of 800...and rising! He now has 45 VAs maxed out and 10+ points in 15 SAs.

So what does it all mean!?

.................yeah, idk, OCD most likely...XD

He played for the St. John's Salty Dogs in Season 18.

Probably, it's been so long I can't remember, but I do know you DC'd for his offspring, Bastard Son of Glossy Eyes, who was on BDS back in the mid-50's seasons.

Glossy Eyes made his mark by winning WL D-MVP in Season 16 with Bonn Dynamo thanks to legendary DC Kurieg (last login 2014; RIP)

Glossy Eyes was the first FS to win WL D-MVP, and I know no others won for quite a while afterwards while I was still active, but I haven't checked probably since like S30ish. Anyone know if another FS has won since? I assume so, it is S68 now, lol.

That sounds right, though I think he was into decline by then.

When I go back to look at past seasons, most of the teams are no longer in existence or have changed their team name. Anyone know how to see what team they actually played for? Like the Salty Dogs, I remember playing for them, but when I look at S18 under my player's Game Log it lists the team as "TIM" and it's a dead link when I click on it.

I was DC for him with the South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice in s14. He was the MVP of our defense! The code was much less interception-friendly then, but Glossy's build was cutting edge at the time, so he could still get them. He really was a game-changing dot.

Good to see you still around!

every season an old season of GLB records gets wiped from the record books. I suppose they don't
want to increase the memory they can store to save the old seasons. At this point, everything before s20
seems like it is gone forever... unfortunately. I feel its a shame, because like you illustrate with this player,
there is a history here which is being lost as the data disappears

Haha, yes, the Mice were a fun squad! And if I recall correctly, I believe nexill helped me out with the end-build for Glossy!

well that really is unfortunate...especially since it appears (at least from the posts in this thread) that a good amount of agents who are still active have had accounts since the early days (2008-2009). I could possibly understand if it was cost-prohibitive to save all the game replays indefinitely, but just the basic teams/standings/stats/records? That's not much storage space...
