there is more than one way to look at what that team has done
1 you can say they gutted the team
2 you can say the owner offered his loyal players a chance to play on a team that they want to play for
if you wouldnt offer your guys that chance before turning over the team then good for you
it seems to be common practice in this game to gut the team then sell it shit happens and get over it
im not siding with lotsa and im not siding with scace who happens to be my teams owner
everyone looks at this situation the way they want and not from everyone elses view
but it does happen why waste time arguing about it
melbourne all the way

i look forward to reading the lash back from who ever

No backlash from me, that's fairly well-articulated.

Though I don't agree with your conclusion ("Melbourne all the way" ), I appreciate and respect your point of view, and it does have merit to it.

no backlash from me. i am the owner of Chinese Bandits and this is what i have to say. our team consists of people from an LSU fan website. we started talking about putting a team together during the middle of season 2. i applied and received a team, so we tried putting some players together. everyone from the website has been talking with their owners on a trade, being cut, whatever they can do to get on the team. we have many high level players that want to be on the team that we are still trying to get.

as far as our high level LB, he is my player, and of course, i want my player on my team. we lost three games in a row, and now we are playing a team with a roster full of players that are on the same level as our best player. should i not try to help our team?

we have been talking with our new QB for some time, trying to work out an equitable trade. the team owner finally said okay, lets do it, so i used a player that i signed from another trade and paid over $200k, when i couldn't really afford it, to help my team acquire a good QB. in all honesty, it wasn't to help us win, it was to help us from being completely embarrassed.

melbourne, you have a roster full of great players and you have done a great job of putting them together and i have nothing against any of you. so good luck in your season, i know we don't stand a chance today, i'm just trying to help our team get out of the bottom of the conference.

Beouf - no issue with you at all, PM sent. You are an asset to this league - more competition is great for Oceania AA and Oceania as a region.

I guess what everyone is probably most upset about here is a mass influx of high ranking players to the league when we are setting up gameplans. Kind of hard to gameplan for something as drastic as this.

I am speaking from a clear view here (sorry, forgot the euphimisim I was going to use here) cause we won't play you guys till the playoffs.

I guess, GLB as a collective needs to decide if this is a simulation, or is it a game. That determination could sway rules either way, be it game strategy vs. cheating the sim engine.

If this is supposed to be a simulation, and not a game, this type of thing would never happen mid season in any football league.

I dig hanging out in the forums, watching gay assed dots run around a slightly odd colored green football field, playing with a football almost as big as the players themselves, and trying to figure out how I can make my DE give QB's nightmares. Though I haven't posted on the Oceania forum much, I do enjoy the commradarie we all share, even the smack talk!

Ultimately, I think that is what most people are worried about, losing the satisfaction we get checking in our teams everyday & making sure AA#2 doesn't get cheapend or sullied by outsiders.

I'm off the soapbox!

Welcome to AA#2!

I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese.
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today.
You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say.

I like Chinese.
They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese food.
The waiters never are rude.
Think of the many things they've done to impress.
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess.

So I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

I like Chinese thought,
The wisdom that Confucious taught.
If Darwin is anything to shout about,
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt.

All together.

Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Ni hao ma; ni hao ma; ni hao ma; zaijien! (How are you; how are you; how are you; goodbye!)

Great post! One of the best I've seen in my time there, really.

And that song two posts above me is funny.

Well it looks like I got here late and missed a fun chat. I still wanted answer SCACE's question about how he is as an owner since Lotsa has no clue.

The only reason my guys are playing on his team is because he was so friendly and helpful. He didn’t even get the player of mine he wanted originally, but he kept giving me advice and checking in to see how things were going. Because of that I made a player just so I could have a guy on his team. It has been so much fun playing for SCACE I brought my LB over too.

SCACE is just an active owner that is fun to play for, treats everyone on the team great and is ethical to boot. He has my players on his team for as long as he needs them.

Good luck today Bandits. It should be a fun game

As an American that lived in China for 3 years and has a Chinese significant other, I'd appreciate if we could try to stick to football and lay off the stereotypes about the Chinese...



Speaking of football, looking at our team, we've got a hugely disparate level in some players too thanks to upgrades. We've built our team from all players that game on another website. If the Bandits want to do the same, I couldn't care less. The levels even out over time anyway (my level 17s get what feels like no experience for games now, while our level 4s are booming away).
