There is a huge flaw in your logic, and that is that you forget that this is a game and any kind of obligatory feelings that you hold are completely fabricated and should not, as your attempting here, be forced upon other people-because it is ever so slightly decreasing the quality of my experience playing that game.
Have a good day.
Pretty much nailed it. Only thing is that is different is that I was happy with how I was able to put the team together after day 20 and make a playoff run that was reasonably successful and that made me see that with a few changes or different approaches that I learned from my playoff loss that maybe I can improve for next season. Also, a big factor was the sim change from last season to this one. That almost singlehandedly made me want to play again around day 20 and after watching a few games, I noticed how this sim was, although I know it now even better. I hope it doesn't change too much for next season because I would like another chance to play under this season's conditions.

So basically what you're saying is that, everytime you don't go to the championship game, you're going to "retire" and whine about it, then come back next season with a new excuse.
Sounds swell.
That's not what I said at all. What I did say was that season 26 was unusually disappointing. I thought and still think that team was my best team ever, even better than my season 18 championship team that went 20-0. I don't plan on retiring ever again with a post. The only way you'll actually see me retire is if I sell the team or run out of flex. I'm done with excuses, I just want to play for fun again and get back to that next season.

What he said was he lost a game, got mad, "quit", realized he either A. still liked the game enough not to quit or B. realized he had 100k+ worth of flex he didn't want to waste, came back but told people he wasn't trying when he really was, hit the playoffs and told people he started trying around day 20, lost again but realized points A or B or both still existed and nobody would believe him if he quit again and now is going to continue playing. The retirement posts were ego driven and more "look at me" than actual quitting. The excuses were pretty poorly conceived and I am surprised anyone would actually believe them. The reality, however, is that he provides great competition to a dying league/game and that outweighs the drama.
Some of what you said is true, but most of it is a complete lie. I did quit because I lost and did come back around day 20, not before as you seem to imply because I had flex left and because I liked the game. The post was actually not ego driven and if I had been 3-6 on day 20, I don't think I would have come back. But I guess I saw something I liked and now I'm here to stay for the lifetime of my flex, although no promises on not buying more, so I guess I'm glad you think I'm good competition because that's exactly what I want to be.
