I must say the Terror picked up a few key people, and will be doing some fundamentally different things. I expect them to do well again

I would think I learned my lesson last year about certain builds and have things corrected with boosts and training.

I think Tunis should be a top four team this season.

StingTalk 16-0...nah dont think we will go 16-0 but i do think we will improve on 10-6. That being said, I think the Bulls look to take the regular season crown and the Sea Wolves will be the team that continues to scare me the most.


I like hearing that we're the team that scares you the most. Hopefully, we can keep that up.

Pay no attention to those Killer Frogs over in the corner.

We liked sneaking up on people last season. Zak was like our good luck charm every time he picked against us. Hopefully that trend will continue this season.

Both conferences in Africa AA #2 have improved. There are a lot of tough looking teams floating around. It should be a great and challenging season.

Good luck to everyone!!!

P.S. For those teams that are going to be visting the Frogs in The Swamp this season, please tell your fans to drink more beer and eat more hot dogs!!!

Eugh our teams pretty much been axed hard. For every player we somehow managed to recruit we lost at least 2. Being that we came across the team in such a funny way from DaGray58 we opted to allow him a GM spot...Which came to bite us in the ass when he re-signed all our good players to short contracts that ran out at end of season. Being that we were already in debt due to over spending on the salaries before we came in we've had little to work with except for the money we made on a loan. And nobody good wants to join a team that looks like this, no matter what you try, unless you know them personally. We have a few peoples players we will acquire eventually but it's not enough to save the team in it's current state.

Sorry we couldn't be more competitive guys. We tried so hard, even went against our gut and tried for players we didn't necessarily like the build of. Just had no selling points whatsoever, as it's difficult to sell good GM/owner in a situation like this. No money, no win streak, low tier league, holes all over the Roster etc etc.

First thing I thought when the new schedules were announced was, "Who are the new team with the Nazi themed name?". The second thing I thought after looking more closely was, "Wow! The GM's players are named after Nazi generals!"

This was a tough market for GMs & owners to find players. I'm not sure you did yourself any favors by doing what you did.

Few people have actually made reference to team or player names. It's not the "nazi" theme as you put it, though I can assure you our team has little to do with being nazi's. While one of my players was in fact Nazi inclined, the other 2 are far from it (Hoepener was executed after the failed assassination attempt on Hitler), as was the original general of the Korp, Erwin Rommel. While I don't expect everyone we contacted to know this, I'd like to defend myself in that retrospect. The naming was purely based on an "interest" in World War II and the german war machine of that era, not on personal beliefs as few may actually believe. There's a reason we removed a certain aspect of the original logo, and that's to reflect that the team in no way stands for such a thing. Though if/when we can the name will have a slight re-tooling, to what we think some might find a little more friendly while retaining the same principal to the axis army.

But yes on that level I understand what you meant, though I've yet to hear someone dismiss the team name wise. Though that doesn't mean it never happened, but I still feel it was more to do with roster state and the greed of one hell of a horrible off-season for recruiting for most owners/GMs. I know I would of been skeptical to join a team that's pretty much gutted and in a low division

Kenya Naturals have pretty much stayed pat with the roster. We are hoping the added chemistry helps out!
