Remember those were gonna be our lasts games of Dotball but we had so much fun up the ladder talking smack with Monster than we decided to do it again.

I wonder how many of these Teams we actually went up against bossman. I will check for more later.

Think you went back to WL that season.

Nation was built for ladder not WL but Fun to remember back. Nation was a fun ride with rivalry with Lostensee Monster and Creepers


yeah - season 74 - we were still building with free agents back then - went to building farms the season or two before because we got tired of having holes in the lineup with less than stellar free agents and not being able to stay in WL because of it

My thing with the farm teams is, I really can't focus on both teams if I want them to be the best they can be, so I'd end up focusing mainly on the WL team and miss out on a lot of fun stuff. I personally enjoy going up through the ranks and starting with little kid dots (who, growing up in Ohio I can see in my mind's eye running around out there with their helmets and the ball too big for them running like turtles the whole game compressed into 10 yards because they can't throw any further) and seeing how they progress as we build the dots- plus I feel I learn a lot about tactics going up through the ranks, as well. We build for our end builds and give it our all and try to be the best Pros we can, but once those dots hit retirement age we do a retirement season for fun and then reset the whole team all over again from rookie.

On the one hand, it is frustrating having to wait over a year just to try to get back to WL to do better, but its a lot of fun to play up through the ranks and I personally don't have time to do both at the same time. Honestly, I don't know how some people keep track of so many players and teams at the same time! I have a hard time keeping up with the few players I have... but what I lack in volume, it has a personal touch at least lol. Some of our agents have suggested a farm team, but honestly doing one team at a time I can make the team as good as it can be. Some maybe can do that for multiple teams, but I couldn't myself. Often it seems to me farm teams do not do as well as they could in their leagues because the owners are prioritizing their time for the Pro team's success, which I understand but that's why I'd rather focus on one team.

agreed - 100%

even worse when you have a farm team for each WL team, and there are seasons when you have 2 farms for a team since you make them 5 seasons apart

Yeah, it get's a little confusing sometimes having players on multiple teams. Trying to remember which one is which, and making sure you are building that teams players to that teams specified build plan. I've always been more interested in the freelance versions. If I'm trying to build a dot exactly the way a team wants me to build, is it really my dot?

Is Bash starting yo sense sense.... Damn I must really be drunk on Hollogan pale ale. Good post kitty cat
