So, what's with your manic/depressive state tonight?

I offer a little tactical advice (which you didn't take), go out to dinner for the night, and come back to find a PM asking me to GM the team followed by another saying "nevermind". Interestingly enough, you soon blocked me from the forums, PM's and everything related to the team.

I guess it's not enough that I kept my QB on your team for two seasons, getting underpaid, barely getting any sort of bonus, and playing for a team that doesn't even have complete 100 level seating. When you picked my player to be a "team captain" I turned down your extra bonus you gave him (because you can't afford level 32 gear for your players), so you could put it into your stadium for the following season. My bad, I'm kicking myself now for watching out for the well-being of your team.

I spoke up today knowing that you would fail if you tried rushing on only 1st down and going for passes (that is a waste of a down), and that you'd fail if you attempted to rush vs Camelot with your terrible HB builds. I also offered advice on how to fix your WR depth chart so you didn't have one player in each of the WR 1-5 spots which would mean a failure to sub properly. Well, you didn't do it and the team lost. Are you mad that I posted some common sense when you were desperate to find a way to be competitive with Camelot?

Well, apologies if I couldn't speak up earlier and run the team for you despite not even getting level 32 gear for my players. I'm actually surprised the team came as far as it did this season with the builds it possessed, but I think that only speaks for the lack of competitive opponents in this league.

But hey, that's fine with me. I guess you made the choice easy for me to move to SA Pro next season to play for a team that can afford level 32 and 40 gear for its players.

Wherever your team lands, good luck in finding a group that will allow you to compete to the level you have this season.

It would have been nice if you would have spent the effort with us as you did your other teams. Going to a WE A#2 forums...wow....how low. 3 hours before a game was hardly worth listening to "advice". And 4 hours after a game of our lives you check in. Nice! A 200k salary and a 150k bonus plus an extra 150k equip funding (which you took) for a team w/ very little expansion (1 corner section) I think is pretty generous. And you suggested building the stadium this offseason was more important than your extra 100k as team captain bonus. But you're right - in the grand GLB scheme - it's peanuts and we jipped you. We NEVER showed any appreciation to what you gave us. We just took and took from you. We gave what we could but it was a POS in the grand scheme. My apologies. I can only be glad that you put up with us for as long as you did.

I locked out your forum access on the team? Well...geez....go figure!

As they say - keep it classy.

Classy? Classy went out the window when you banned me from your player forum, private forum, and even blocked PM's for no other reason than guilt. It's obvious you did it to try to blame someone else for your team loss, not your coordinators or even yourself.

So for a bonus you require GM services for your poor excuse for a team? The last I checked, you're paying a salary for my PLAYER to be there and to perform. I could care less about your GM position, your "captain" crap, or whatever. You gave it to me without me so much as saying a word about it.

You're basically being bitchy because you lost. But hey, let's face it, when you field 3 out of 5 WR's with less than 70 speed, and some of the most mediocre HB builds in the game, how can you expect to win? I actually looked over your playbook last night and knew the moment I saw that you were going to lose.

You should be apologetic. My "other teams" are teams I have been a part of since day one, are owned by owners who have a clue as to what they're doing, and I have signed on as an actual coordinator. They're not teams with clueless owners who expect their players to run things for them.

Some examples of why your team failed:

A season 3 team with only two 100 level sections?

Worst WR builds in GLB (all with 60 or less speed):

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=44120
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=666702

Starting HB you thought could rush heavy against Camelot:

The list could go own an on. As I said, feel lucky that you've made it this far. My QB is my first player and definitely not the most perfect build in GLB, but he did bring your team to the limit of where they could actually perform and win.

I would never have bothered posting a thread here if you didn't cowardly who ban from forums and block PM's without notice, provocation, or even discussing the matter.

And, well, to anyone else that may be reading this... watch out for this guy. He may look like a clueless naive owner with good intentions, but he uses agents with any knowledge of the game as a crutch, and will screw you at the first opportunity.

I was trying to just let this go. Your contract runs out on day 40 of this season. Removing you from team communication seemed like the best path for both parties.

See, what you are not remembering is that I asked you if your player was re-signing quite a while ago. You know, so I could allocate a budget for the offseason. Because had you of said yes, then I would have no problem letting our backup QB hit the FA market. If you said you were moving on, I could have worked to retain our backup for next season. So you left this team in a Brett Favre type lurch.

Then I started a thread the night before the Camelot playoff game. Specifically, to brainstorm a gameplan as a team. Where were you? You were online but no where posting in our forum. Oh yeah, you had other teams you GM for. I don't fault you for being busy. But then you have the audacity to rip apart the gameplan we as a team came up with that whole night a mere 3 hours before gametime. You had some truly great ideas but not three hours before a game. C'mon now.

I, in no way, claim to be an expert at GLB. I have my moments of idiocy. Our OC had to step down earlier in the year because his real life was getting too much to balance with GLB. So I stepped up and OC'd for the rest of the season. Mind you, last time I OC's GLB was using basic settings. So are my gameplans perfect? Heck no. But for someone only doing it for 1/2 a season I think they were at least competent. Lackluster, to be sure.

Then the class act that you are, you go on here and rip apart not only me (which one can argue that I deserve) but then our "crappy" player builds. what did the "crappy" players on the team do to warrant such an attack?

I unblocked you from my PM's so if you'd like to continue this further in PMs, feel free. All the crappy things we did for morale on the team you really don't need to worry about as in two days you are a free man. It's not like you really participated in them anyways.

We all know I'm a piece of sh!t and so are the Parrots. So really, what more is there to say.

Correct. I admitted to the team earlier this season that I screwed up in that first season and didn't expand the stadium. So we're behind. Hence why I asked the team if they'd be willing to suck it up equip money wise and allow us to horde and expand this offseason. What part of admitting that I screwed up seems to you that I don't understand this knowledge that you are bestowing onto me?

GLB is fun, it is just a game after all.
I didn't want to cause another rift between us, but I just remembered how you always tried to grill us in someway.
All I can say is: BackAtCha

May you guys be happy together. The guy knows a lot about GLB and you guys should improve yourselves for next season quite a bit. I have zero problem acknowledging Taurran's GLB skills.

I like when proclaimed "cancers" show that they are really good guys.
So what the hell, taurran has himself a job

I never said Taurran was a cancer. We just weren't going to see things eye to eye on things.
