I'm the original owner and had the team for season 5 and most of season 6. For season 5, the team was just one agent, me. For season 6, I brought a handful of agents on board that I'd known for at least a couple of seasons, including StoutOne. However, I decided to sell the team when I decided to stop spending as much money on GLB. Immediately, S1 asked about transferring the team to one of his friends. I had no problem w/ it since I had built up a nice stadium, the team was in excellent fiscal health, and I felt that I had a good relationship w/ S1. However, after ownership transferred, things did not go as I had hoped.
A) Yes, I wanted S1's DE and OT but he strung me along w/ BS until the ownership transfer was complete and immediately signed his guys to An8. That's crap. He was blowing smoke up my ass because he's a duplicitous opportunist.
B) He said he was creating a farm team for the Waxers. More BS.
C) He traded off the existing roster of season 6 guys w/ day 40 season 6 contracts to the Cocks to make some extra bucks even though the team was in great financial shape. I went along w/ it because it wasn't a big enough deal to cause a lot of drama and, well, by that point I wasn't the owner anymore so what could I do. I'd say a significant part of S1 and his buddies' success comes from collusion, and I have no respect for it. I think they'd be successful anyway since they have good GLB minds and are great at networking, but the fact that they feel the need to cheat and/or bend the rules says something about the people behind the avatars imo.
D) If I had known beforehand that he would bring a bunch of immature children to An8, I would have just sold the team back.
Fact is, if S1 had been honest about the intentions of his players/my team, I wouldn't have transferred ownership to his buddy. But S1 just had to continue being S1 and tell me what I wanted to hear in order to get what he wanted. And now, apparently, that isn't enough. He and his pack from the kiddie table insist on puffing their chests over an internet game, throwing crap at other people and reducing their enjoyment of this game. I just don't get S1 or his buddies. It's just shit behavior all the way around and hopefully some life experience will straighten them out. I'm hopeful but not optimistic.
I apologize to everyone else in this league for my part in this since my bad judgment opened the door for the new version of An8.
I'll leave it at that. No doubt the An8 crew will retort w/ "clever" quips and retorts, so I have a request. Just one pun please. I rarely see them on GLB. It would be refreshing.
Thanks,
Nate
