You still didn't answer the question as to what happened to your team, did it go bankrupt? Congrats on winning when there was likely less than 1/10th of the competition.

I guess you don't understand the concept of a farm team either, god you are fucking dense.



I do, I am just not to impressed by it. I guess those level 2s will be ready for the Alexandria Greats soon? Awesome farm team.

No I think I'm better because I am, In my second season here I owned a team that won its conference, you won't even do that in this season.


Again, something that happened in season 3, when there were much less teams and quality competition just isn't that impressive. Not to mention you're bragging about something that happened 3 seasons ago. Talk about living in the past.

addddddum and I are the only two people on the team who game plan or recruit.


Then I guess the real question is, why does your team have 5 GMs who do no recruiting or game planning?

Of the 2 players you mentioned. The DE had a decent season and was a big part in helping us stop the run, and the CB will no longer be on the team. Again, I'm in the midst of recruiting, which when considering how crappy your "farm team" is in the midst of recruiting, you shouldn't be talking. My roster building was obviously good enough last year to get promoted and beat a couple of the other team who were promoted.

The real question is, and one you've yet to answer, is what the fuck are you still doing posting in a league that doesn't concern you? You might have been the "big cheese" around here last year, but you're irrelevant now. Nobody asked for your opinion, nobody is impressed, and quite frankly, it's sad.

You really are one of the stupidest people I have ever encountered in my life. A team that lost a total of 7 regular season games over 3 seasons go bankrupt? When no team has ever been removed for going bankrupt? I sold the team because a group of friends I made it with no longer wanted to play and I no longer had the time to run two teams.

The 1/10th of the competition thing is probably the dumbest thing you have ever said. Just because there were less leagues does not mean it was easier. If anything it was harder, what happens to any sport, or any competition when you add more teams, you need more players, so in translation there will be more open spots for lower level players. Do you really think the average level of talent in the MLB is even comparable when there were 8 teams to 32 today?

Your stupidity is making this too easy, you say you understand the concept of a farm team, but then you obviously don't. Those players are simply there to get max xp and slow build, some may eventually end up on the Greats some won't. Let me know if you need further description of such a basic concept.

Read above to squash your inept logic. I wasn't bragging about it, you said my merits with the Greats weren't good enough so I pointed that out.

Why don't we live in the present then? If your team has a better record in AA than the Greats do in AAA I will delete all of my players, if they don't you delete all of yours. Talk about living in the present.

No the real questions would be, who called the GM police? or Who the fuck cares?

Will someone, anyone, on the AA forums explain to this idiot the concept of a farm team. I don't know how much more clear I can be. I am not recruiting for this team, we don't want to win a game all year, we don't plan on it, we plan on getting the people on the team max xp and that is all. You said you understood the concept, but you clearly don't.

It is funny that you say that I went up against bad competition because there were less teams, when in fact you actually did go up against bad competition because THE 5 BEST TEAMS were promoted out of your conference last year and replaced with garbage ones, and you couldn't even win the conference lol.

This league certainly concerns me, considering my running back holds several records here and I want to watch the Hawks vs Pwoods feud unfold along with the performance of their HBs.

Get used to me being around, I'm not going anywhere:

1-3) Quit embarrassing ourselves and get out of this league finally.


Fixed all yo fuckin posts.


It seems as though you've only accomplished the second part of that goal...

Your team is in Africa A and looks absolutely horrendous...


Also keep in mind that you are the one that started taking the personal shots. Albeit it was just you being too stupid to realize that the team you talked trash about was a "farm team". But hey you have obviously shown you know what that means right?

My point was by the time any of your players on your farm team level up to be on the Alexandia Greats, either the Greats will have dropped down to 'A' level or it will be 12 months down the line or something. As for your superstar team you apparently sold to run someone elses team, they don't exist anymore, so congrats.

And no the top 5 teams in my conference did not movie up after my first season, 1 team did, the Tanzania Mountaineers (who were by far the best team in our A league). But nice try anyway. Do your research before calling my intelligence into question. Namibia and CAT are both great teams that moved up the season with us, therefore there was excellent competition in our conference last year.

The lesser competition argument does make sense, if you use your head. The rate of new uncapped teams has grown much more than the number of higher level players (which has remained near constant), therefore there are more teams competing for higher level player recruiting = more competition. The range of player levels has grown, thus the discrepency between players has also grown, thus the challenge to build a top team has also grown. In a couple seasons that may change as the influx of lower level players will catch up, however until players start retiring (after 10 or so seasons) there will always be those intial players from season 1 or 2 that are being highly recruited (as they are the highest levels). In reality until people start retiring players due to declining skills, the competition won't be truly balanced.

I never said my team was better than the Greats, you have players and a stadium that are a season or two ahead of mine. But then again, that team isn't even yours...

lol, you consider me defending the newcomers to the league from your arrogant grandstanding a personal attack? Fact is that anyone who moved up to this level is a competent owner, and have proved it. I'm not the one using 2nd grade sexual insults, that are borderline racist. Besides, I'm realistic, I'm not expecting to win the league this year, just to be competitive and push for a playoff spot.

I don't understand why you keeping throwing up 'THE TEAM ISN'T YOURS' or 'YOU DON'T OWN THE TEAM' bullshit, when in reality, he is in-fact a co-owner - there just isn't a title or option to show that.

The reason why we have so many GMs is because I had to recruit higher levels to compete, therefore, rewarding the key lower leveled agents a GM spot for being on my team. That makes up 4 out of the last 5. And the last one is my brother, go figure.

As for now, we have no intentions of bringing farm team players over to the Greats just because it would take many seasons for them to catch up. Nfrat and I had the idea of just putting our players on a gutted team that was regulated down instead of using the D-league services, this way all of our friends and fellow-leaguers would have a place to get max XP and not worry about the d-league rosters.

Simple as that.

Well at least you're capable of arguing without being an asshole, thanks for clearing that up.

As to his assertion I don't know what a farm team is, maybe he needs to look up the term himself. Last time I checked a farm team was a minor team used for developing younger players (with the intent of moving some of them up in the near future), not a little league team where wins (and having a complete roster) don't matter. If that's what it is then fine, but at least I know what the term means.

When all else fails argue semantics I guess.

It is a farm team, human owned d league team, slow build team. Anyone with common sense would know what it is and wouldn't use it as a corner piece of their argument.

Besides according to the definition of a farm team I think my use was spot on, I never said it was a GREATS FARM TEAM.

"In sports, a farm team, feeder team or nursery club, generally refers to a team or club whose role is to provide experience and training for young players, with an agreement that any successful players can move on to a higher level at a given point. This system can be implemented in many ways, both formally and informally."

You were the one who argued semantics in the first place. The assumption being that if you were fine with having a crappy team to max XP that you'd at least have the intention of signing them to your higher level team at some point.

Instead you have a crappy team, with no intention of winning or moving the players the up to your higher level team (as per your owner's words). Since you said it was a farm team, I assumed it would be somehow affiliated with a higher level team (as all farm team are). You should have just said it was a human D-league team in the first place instead of implying that you're developing players to play for the Greats.

Dude, you are fucking dumb. I can have players on a team besides my own.

Will it make you feel better if I say I have a crappy team?

It is crappy if you look at it with the purpose to win, but that isn't the purpose.

This is absolutely pointless, I argue circles around you and then every post you just tell me how crappy my team is, make assumptions, and argue semantics.

You've demonstrated that you don't comprehend the definition of semantics.

This thread went from entertaining to winning the dumbest thread of the season award and we haven't even started yet....

I want those 5 minutes of my life back.
