Warrior General Games

well, I lost the battle for Free Agents with a massive 100% strikeout rate. then lost other players due to apparently not caring enough to renew a contract.

so the team is pretty much dead. thought I'd give a friendly headsup to the league we have struggled in for 5 seasons. this 6th one is pretty much roll over and play dead...

yeah we can likely win 5... but so what... things will only be worse next season and I do not have the energy to turn the ship around.

So I presume an exodus will commence eventually. I'll try to ride out the season but if folks request a release I will give it.

lol, no no.

Indifference I was referring to is from MY team. Only got a handful on the team and none of them care that I am disbanding. I am getting zero reaction from them except from 2 players i.e. the ones who usually contribute. Course I spose after the death of things there's a whopping 2 other players who likely actually pay attention... the other 2 don't care. and the final one is barely aware of what shoe goes on which foot...

to the huddled masses outside my team, yes I have gotten your PMs and responded to almost none of them. that's not me being rude, it's me not certain how to proceed. I have players at just about every position. I'm getting offers for different things. So it's a question of logistics.

Just send them all to the Longhorns and we can go from there. We can always use the help.

or, bring them over here to our max stadium, and get the hook up on any and all upgrades day 1

no offense to austin.. but that stadium over there is looking a little rickety.

I was planning on just retiring all my players, but on second thought I'm willing to move a few of my guys wherever they'd be wanted or needed, even in a backup capacity.

It is right now, however, after hosting all of the playoff games this season, we will be making massive improvements to the stadium so that will make it more level with everyone else. Besides, who cares how your stadium looks if you can't win it all. If stadium looks mattered, then my Seahawks should be in the Super Bowl every year or in baseball the Kansas City Royals should actually be a good team.

We could definitely use High Fiver, Lightning McQueen and Ahiga Sunukkuhkau on the Wafers.

well, im guessing that all those 40s you got on your team care, because i cant see how you can even come close to affording all their upgrades. which, frankly, is a disservice to them, because your stadium is very weak considering the time austin has been in existence.

also, we have 'won it all' so i guess right now we have you in that and stadium capacity. lets hope you get all those home playoff games, because you definitely need the money more than us.

you guys seem to be pretty confident that we will pose you no problems.. i guess we'll see.

ugh! Just saw your stadium! Even if you have all the home playoff games you are leaving MILLIONS on the table! I am glad I finished my stadium awhile ago. Its let me put over 25mil into the Equipment fund and by "for the fun of it" gear for a few people

oops forgot about the trade deadline.

Yeah, the problem was if you started with a couple bad seasons like we (Austin) did, it took awhile to recover from. We won 2 games in season 1, and 6 in season 2. USA A#1 was in the top 8 in average player level for the first 5 seasons, and it took us a ton of work just to get to a 10 win season. If we started in one of the other numbered USA A leagues we'd have dominated and have a full stadium by now.

If you keep the team, see if you can get it relegated/switched to a bottom tier league in another region. You'll find your team to be much more competitive. You won't necessarily be the best as other built teams will move to the league as well, but you'll be a contender right away.

I imagine being a middle of the road team season-after-season would be extremely frustrating. Too good to drop down, not good enough to make any noise in the playoffs if you make it.

Exactly. We have been building this team and bringing in players every season to help. We have had to get most of our players through trades as well so that is where a lot of our money was going to.

Actually, I have everyone's equipment pretty much covered. I had put a lot of money into stadium construction at the beginning of the season so when people hit 40, I could move the money over and then give that to them. Then when the playoff money comes in that can go to the stadium upgrade. You may think that there is a disservice to them, but they know everything that goes on and, if you go and look at who has just recently signed contracts to stay with the team, some for the next seasons, you would see that they don't have any problems. I thnk you are just trying to make more out of something than it is. We still brought in more than 15 million to start the season and we had only sold out 2 games at that point. We have continually received money from ticket sales each night. I looked at a lot of the teams in this league at the start of the season and we had about as much cash as they did. I am not sure if we just have higher ticket prices that work for our fans or what, but we have been generating close to the same money in ticket sales when compared to this league.
