Warrior General Games

I personally don't mind . I think it was a smart move made by a great owner/staff. DO whatever you need to improve your team. This game isn't really baout playing the nice guy, its about winning championships and having fun. I this Conn and his team are a pretty classy bunch, and don't rub anything in anyones face. Being respectful will take you really far int his game considering your online personality is all we have to base your character off of. Getting promoted would be great, but it isn't the end of the world if we don't. On my team we look to improve every season. Of course we'd love to win a championship, but we still have alot of work to do.

We are working in new GM's and helping alot of other players get to know the game itself. One day if/when those players get teams or offered a high position on a team they will have the experience to have a good time and make it a winner. As I have stated before this game is really all about relationships. All of the players on my team, I consider really good friends and I like it that way.

Yes Blood the Mules are solid, but lets not count our chickens before their hatched, you guys could very well win the Eastern Conference or even the league. But you have a few teams who may also wanna stake that claim. The top 6 in the Eastern Conference look pretty strong and 4 levels aren't going to make up for a bad game or great gameplanning by another team. Also don't forget about the West wanting to maintain their dominance in Championship games since this league was created. Maybe this is the Easts season, but the road will be tough regardless of the conference. Upsets happen .

having said all that, thanks for reading my book and GL to everyone the remainder of the season.

What part of WAS do you not understand? It is NOT a cap league now. Which means we can sign anyone we want that is interested in playing for our team.

I find what people do signing unboosted players to have them boost or double boost to get over the cap bad. We never did that. We brought in a lot of slow build players (and we lost a lot of games) who many are still on the team and better builds than Chris and some other high level players (no offense Chris ).

What we do in our systems is constantly improve our teams. Always recruiting, always looking. If we find someone that we like or has a player that wants to stay within our system and they have a build that is an upgrade to one of our teams we make a spot for them.

People want to play for an owner they KNOW knows what they are doing and is committed to winning. That is what we have here. Stupid to play for a random owner in a league where they may make the playoffs when you can play for an owner that you know how to put things together and is going to be teammates with some people you already know and know they know how to build.

I really respect what PP and you guys have done both in AAA2/WPL/Pro and here.

I agree with all that you say mike. A lot of my GMs and people who I have helped learn a lot in this game (including Chris here) have owned a team. The game is A LOT about building relationships and who you know. Especially these days when there are SOO many great teams in so many different leagues. It is really hard to pick a team and so you have to know people to get the best players.

I definitely didn't mean to count our chickens (knock on wood) and I apologize for that. But I do feel that we are the best team in the East. I know that on any given sim anyone can win and that the "best" team doesnt always win (whoever that best is). I dont know how strong the top 6 teams are. We beat the current 6-7-8 team by a combined 219-10. We havent got to play the other top 4 teams but we will. And if we win the East we dont have to win the league to advance Although it sure would be nice to end the West's dominance. I know the Fire have won the League before even though the other league was dominant or "better". I do think that the west is deeper
but I think the top teams in the east are right there with the top teams in the west

I am a big fan of long posts I get carried away and just type and type. Good luck to you guys and everyone else too. Will be some huge games coming up in both East and West this season and the playoffs will be fun.

We have two potential losses upcoming on our regular schedule and a fun scrimage against the Battletoads. We won't be counting much until we see how we fare through those games.

I appreciate the kind words Blood lol. You guys have done an amazing job yourselves . Glad your a fan of long posts because so am I . I agree 100% about getting players. It is so hard to recruit out there. Building relationships is definitely the way to go . I have a feeling though with how Bort is doing this constant every season realignment the conferences will even out soon enough. I always look forward to tough competition and I hate winning games by large margins. It takes the fun out of it. Im really glad everyone in this league has taken the next step forward to becoming dominant some teams are a season or two behind. But they are taking the appropriate steps and I love seeing that. Honestly whoever moves up is missing out, because this league is well worth being in .

well if you want a closer game, then tell me your tactics and we will make it closer

Ryan

I never condemned Chris, I just said its hard to compete when you bring players down from Pro leagues to a gutted team in A ball.

The part of "past" tense is, we are a TEAM that was here when it started. Therefore a majority of our guys have great builds and high levels but have no chance at say being a level 39 FB.

My point in general was.....people do their own thing...I don't operate that way. I play in two AAA Africa Leagues and have BUILT many many many relationships. We play the game how its supposed to be played, or how Bort intended it to play.

Bort does NOT want to see level 40 guys in Canada A.....

GLB is about BUILDing a team, developing the players, and MOVING up the ranks from the bottom. Not grabbing players from the top, bring them to the bottom, then move up the ranks.

But to each his own.

I'm not giving the Yellowknifes the title either.....we ain't no slouches.

Just look at my profile.....believe me I've built many relationships in this game....and its not JUST about winning. Its about playing a game how it should be played.

I wonder how many Bombs AROD would hit in the South Atlantic League?

Or how many points Lebron would average in the NBDL?

Doesn't matter anyhow, we'll beat the Mules this year anyway

Thanks mike.

How do you know what GLB is about for everyone? For me its about helping out "friends" I have made in this game and it is about winning by any means.

You can not build a team and expect to be a top team. You have to CONSTANTLY be attempting to improve your team. By doing extra recruiting and bringing in players. That is what Chris has done.

And I can promise you that levels are not everything. In fact they are absolutely nothing. My lower level CB is actually a better CB right now than my high level CB. Better in every single category that matters. Or at least will be when I finally boost him.

Bort may not want high levels in the lower leagues but where do you draw the line and if you go purely on levels then you are missing out on great low level players who know how to maximize building. Levels are a silly way to justify where people belong. Plus there are SO many players between the levels of 33-42 where do you arbitrarily put the boundaries? Should all 35s be in a Pro league and only Pro leagues? USA AAA2 used to be better (and probably still is) better than half the Pro leagues out there. They deserve and have high level players. If Bort wanted a level cap on A2 here then he would have one.

Lol Ryan your team should be fine. I was just stating all the CPU teams we had last season or the gutted ones ruined it. And that the realignment really helped . Thats all lol.

Of course not, you guys are also very solid. That's why I stated what I did earlier as well .

I just have issues with a successful HB (Lynch)...coming down to a 'lower' level to dominate. Sorry. It shouldn't work that way, he was already successful in a Pro league so bringing him to Canada A....yea thats cool.

Win at all costs is not the way to go either, burn way to many bridges.

When did you become such a little girl? Our average starter level is 33.53, yours is 31.50. To listen to your whining, one would think that we have a team full of level 40 players that dropped in from the sky. We have a number of players that started here in A2 at the same time that you did and we stunk for a season and a half. We brought some new guys in last year and a few more this year. We may get some more this season if we can.

You did condemn me, why I don't know. I generally don't like trash-talking but now I want to bury you nancy.

You did have a level 39 FB, a level 38 HB drop in from the sky.

That FB was level 30 when we got him I believe, the other FB was level 1 back when we started here and we recruited a level 34 HB that has boosted and is now a higher level - do you even have a point to all this nonsense? What a whiny little girl.

We sucked for a season and a half and were polite and friendly. We got better last year and were polite and friendly even to the teams that flogged us (who were better then than we are now) and wished them well. This year, we have improved some more.

I have never disliked any of the teams in our conference throughout the process. Thanks for changing that; I can't wait to whip the Niagara Nancies.

Your team starters average level is 31.50, do you think BBB teams that are one season from a cap think that is fair? I don't hear them whining and moaning. They are here and will get better through growth and recruiting. Hopefully, you'll still be here next season when they can whip you and you can whine about the players that they recruited in the off season.
