oh boy.

you would be surprised to hear this, but you guys have done very well in establishing yourselves in GLB and I would put you somewhere up near the top.

Nice avatars, very active team, history of winning, you guys are on the right track.

HERE IS HOW I WOULD RANK THE TOP FRANCHISES - NOT IN TERMS OF WINS/LOSSES ENTIRELY, BUT HOW THEY ARE RUN, AND THEIR CHANCES OF FUTURE SUCCESS GIVEN THEIR OPERATING MODEL:


1.) Santiago Benitos - I'm not sure if it was by luck or by chance, but Havoc decision to go to SA Pro was genius. He's had a strong lead in terms of levels and tactics since he arrived and has a dedicated group of truly friends there. They really get along well. No one is leaving. Playing in a weaker league has also led to many home playoff games which has led to a fat bankroll. I don't recall if they made many upgrades early on, but they are now upgrading at any position they can to keep up with the levels of some of the teams outside of SA Pro

2.) West Scranton Invaders - nearly the same exact formula that the Benitos followed, except I would say they have a little more competition from their league and believe in more depth than any other team in GLB. Nautilus is nicest owner in GLB. Hands down. Tenacious recruiter as well and they do it in silence instead of making a fuss on the boards.

3.) Halifax Explosion - this team is led by Gart who's personality and band (band imo) has endeared him to all of CPL. He is currently expanding that image in the last season or so to all of GLB. The fact that he gets along with everyone helps recruiting and he also generally follows the "keep upgrading" philosophy as he normally has all the gutted teams in CPL to pick players off. He is also one of the best recruiters in the game and knows his dots very well too. Since he gets along well with others, he was able to bring in some of the best help in the game too.

4.) Monmouth Evil Monkeys - coachviking is the best recruiter in the game. I'll give him that title. He's earned it. He puts more time into recruiting and upgrading than any other owner to the point where all of his past contact has led him to not need to recruit any more. His laid back "have a beer and some hookers" joking style has proven to work much better than some of the more anal/serious recruiters. Also has many active agents who post alot and used the draw of an active forum to help his recruiting.

5.) Adriana Lima Beans - SI was one of the first to decide to be active in the trade and FA forums to improve the team. SI also specifically targeted active posters and used the "most active forum in GLB" claim to land many top prospects. Certainly not near the top in terms of trophies (0), but this team is certainly near the top in terms of bring excitement to the game. Love the Beans or hate them, people are passionate about this team one way or the other. SI's calculating of every SP and clear direction of the team had led to many battles with all the ACTIVE, intelligent players he brought it. This and SI's cocky/arrogant persona has led to an image problem for the owner and team at times for sure though. Word is that he is a nice guy once you get to know him though.

6.) Marblehead Longhorns - much like the Beans in terms of the way they have been upgrading like crazy from early on and doing a great job in recruiting. the similarities end there though. texaninma takes a more much quiet role in recruiting , but is also certainly one of the best. This team has also had success at every level and took a different route to the top than teams like the Beans (who were moved to the top) or Halifax (who started at the top of CPL). texaninma is well regarded and has one of the largest GM rings with other successful teams and owners. One of the best websites as well.

7.)

8.)

9.) Detroit Demon Lions - This team was clearly the innovator for a few ideas that few other teams did at the time, that have now become standard - like valuing level above most other things. Or selling intangible things like build information for in game cash, loaning money to other teams for profit, or borrowing money from teams to finish their stadium. With the "level above all plan", TSE was able to change over time the builds of guys with more points, but in the wrong places. This is still a work in progress. If Bort and the testers decide that SA's aren't working like they were supposed to and make them all work, this could quickly become the best team in the game (again). Like the Adriana Lima Beans, DDL has an image problem that it needs to turn around.

10.) Cobra Kai - Were the first clear BRAND in GLB tat was known outside of their league. They decided to go for any kind of publicity and it worked. They decided to be a very active team and it helped them with recruiting and having a strong team early on. The problem was that at some point, I think they decided to stick with what they had while everyone else around them was improving. That decision has led to their downfall in recent seasons. The brand name is still there, but in danger of vanishing or being associated with a losing team.




I'm still deciding on the order and what other 2 teams to add. Maybe Bandar? SGA? Washington Wolfpack? Tire Fires? Monarchs? Pimps? Maulers? OFG ? Smugglers? Dryden? Drinkin? Trout? Brisbane Heat? Cheetahs? Legionnaires? Mean Machine? Lots of well known and well run teams out there. Whatever 10 I pick, I'm sure people are going to be upset. I'm quite used to it by now though. I can handle the insults.

Lima Beans @ #5 is a joke. If that's how this is rated the Brisbane Gods should be top ten too. At least be honest and admit it is because you own the team.

I was a member of your team for a season SI - I hate to tell you but your forum isn't even close to being the most active forum I've seen. If anything it was one of the least active I saw. An active forum does not equal the team owner making 3/4ths of the posts in the team forum. I've been parts of well over 50 different teams so I think I'm qualified to comment on that. Doesn't lessen the Beans or you as a team owner (you're certainly one of the more dedicated and enthusiastic owners I've played for), but I just wanted to say that the most active forum claim is overstated. Just my opinion, not that it's worth much.



Hate to tell you , but I had to make a 2nd private forum (we have 2 now) because of too many outsiders like yourself joining the team. We had to watch what we said because we had competing teams (3 from USA AAA) on the team and I couldn't share secrets and stuff anymore.

In the end, I chose to share info with TheDuffMan and OFG instead of your team or the Slashers. Sorry. You missed out on most of the posts and PM's that went behind your back.

So in some ways, you were instrumental in the killing of our forums. Thank you.

You will be happy to know that they picked up after you left.


(and I no longer claim to be #1 most active forum anymore. if you read my post I believe it says that I used that back when we were the most active)

I knew from the getgo this thread was going to cause a ton of blueballs for team owners that think far too highly of their own teams. Entertaining to watch.

Still a ways away, and when you say that, I hate to admit that SI is right, but you are. Won't be too much longer however

Will go this season with originals and see if we have improvement or if its time to upgrade some.. Ready for this offseason to be over TBH

Oh, nvm, I see. This is a shot at the fact that Asheme is a nicer team-runner than SI is.

there have been alot nicer guys than me lose their team over 1 incident or defection

it is was a personality contest, Asheme would be #1 and I would be in last.

I just think the 1 year deals is asking for trouble.



One of the reasons why I have the Benitos and Invaders at the top is that they not only bring in the free agents, but they secure their players for the long term - much better than Halifax, the Evil Monkeys, or even Beans.

Wolfpack and Osaka would be on this list, I would say.
