Warrior General Games

There are going to be a lot of changes coming up next season. I thought I'd try to make a thread organizing the changes that have been published:

West:
EZ - Moving up, but disbanding
Minnesota - Transferring Ownership
LilWeezyAna - Taking his ball and going home
Fresno - Curse of Scotty Bowman status unknown at present time

Columbus - Moving up
Martha's Vineyard - Team to be divided in half pending REDSOXFAN's divorce for spending too much time playing this game.
Pittsburgh - Gutting

Ok, last one is obviously a joke. What other ones am I missing? I'll update the first post in the thread as you post them here, and I'll keep it updated.

I believe these will be the teams that get relegated down, but I do not know that for sure.

I'm pretty sure only one of them is coming here. Not sure which one. If its the one from the East, the 15th place from the West comes down. Otherwise, the 15th from the East.

What place did your team finish before it moved down?

Wonder why it's only the top teams that have this kind of news.

And I wouldn't call it transfer of ownership. Secondfire still has a role in the leadership of the team, just a greatly reduced one. I'd call it the splitting of ownership.

It is really hard to play catch up in BBB. I have been sending PM's to players and not getting any response. I had the easy, built in recruiting to start the team (The majority of the Hawks players followed me over from another gaming site)

Beermen will start serving Light Beer so Montana's ass doesn't look like this.

Martha's Vineyard's not going anywhere yet, except perhaps into the playoffs for Season 5. That's our goal and we're sticking to it. I'll have more time now considering Tom Brady's out for the season and the Patriots probably won't be so exciting this time.

Dude, they will be more exciting! No more 60 point victories! They will ahve to try for all 4 quarters. It will be Scott Zolak all over again!

On a BBB note... why is recruiting so annoying. I must send out 20 PM's a day and I get maybe 1 response. Makes me want to choke someone.

I've got 2 to 1 that says it's back.

Made me want to pawn off ownership on a sucker.

Meech, aren't you a Patriots fan being from Maine? I cringe at the thought of the name Scott Zolak. It will be a VERY interesting season for the Patriots. Thank God my Red Sox are looking good. As far as recruiting goes, it's been an absolute nightmarish hell. Veteran players know what it takes to build a team and keep it together. Trying to recruit people is simply brutal though. There's always MANY teams to choose from. I'm glad I don't have to have my players recruited. It'd be too hard to choose a team.

Recruiting is a bitch. I spent hours each of the first couple days of ownership trying to find players. I had to find a few replacement players here and there. The first season, even though we were 7-9, we were able to use "Playoff Team" and "Almost Upset #2 Seed" as selling points. Still had to spam out tons of offers to get any bites. Between the 3rd and 4th season, we had a much better record and recruiting became a lot easier. We were able to bring on 2 players from existing agents on the team, and brought on a few other random people I found. If you have a team that is losing badly, recruiting is going to be a total mess. It's a real Catch-22- You need to recruit good players to improve, but you need to improve your record to get good players. The best advice for a lot of teams is to market your improvements.

I also was able to improve recruiting by giving a few people forum access during the recruiting periods. In reality, most agents you are going to be going for will get 30+ offers. Even if yours is a great offer, there are going to be a lot of people going for them. You have to make it stand out. Find people that make connections. Martha's- target New England fans, etc...

I'm glad I won't have to do any recruiting in the offseason- just trim some of the fat on my roster.

"Find people that make connections. Martha's- target New England fans, etc..."

It's funny that you mention that! I have tried that approach numerous times and even that hasn't worked. Do you realize I have more people on my team that hate the Patriots than the amount that like them? I have tried that approach numerous times and even that hasn't worked. The funny thing is that I have a lot of people on the team saying things like wicked awesome and bust some balls now. I almost feel like Bill Belichick, minus the arrogance.

Yeah, PaulYount came to the Milwaukee Beermen for one reason, a lot of us are from Wisconsin, and I'm a huge Brewers fan (duh).

I run searches for players with packer/brewer names...
