I guess to each their own, but why spend (by my calculations) $249 per season to boost your team, and have no human interaction, when you could just shell out a few bucks for Total Pro Football? We can fit roughly 8 seasons into a year, so dude plans to spend almost $2k on this game this year?

After 10 seasons when players start to decline, he could retire them all and get the 70% back, but unless you want to start all over at that point, you'd have to start bringing in your new players around the 7th or 8th season.

Did he just not do this math in his head? Does he not intend to boost? Is he a retired executive with tons of cash, and doesn't care what we think?

Or, the most probable, am I missing something here?

Whatever the reasoning is, I just can't see the point in investing that kind of cash to a certain 30% loss.

With 38 players it will cost me 21600 FP to boost each season. Which will run me about $150 a season. So even though it is less than $249 it is still a chunk of cash.

Honesty - I don't care what you think, or anyone else for that matter. BUT since you asked - I retired a bunch of old players to get back some FP to start this out - and come season end I am retiring a bunch more which with the FP I have I will just about cover my first season boost.

I do have a plan with a couple of RL friends as to how I will be going about having a constant flow of "slow built" players for the Revolutionaries.

I don't plan on making many more players (if any at all) - until these are retired. But I have a bunch of agents that are ready to take part in the plan we have for doing what is previously stated (always having players ready to step in a few seasons from now).

As far as money - I am not a retired executive, and I actually work for a University - so you as you can imagine, I don't make too much as a working grad student. But I cut some corners here and there to save up enough to run my team.

And as far as the human interaction - I have been a member of a bunch of teams here, and what people describe as "human interaction" on this game is overrated. I have a couple of teams I am on where the Forums are OK, but most people I know on here I talk to VIA PMs.

For anyone here who is a grad student, y'all can relate that "time" is a nonexistent thing. So this slow build team with just me and a couple of RL friends is perfect for now.

(And yes I know, for not caring what people think - I sure did give an extensive answer )

Ah, I did forget about the FP discounts.

Hey, what you do with your time and money is up to you. Like I said to open "to each their own."

That was exactly my point to say you should just get Total Pro Football. I played a ton of that game until I found GLB, as I prefer the challenge of dealing with people's bullshit.

Yeah, don't make bets you can't win.

Nah, I knew I'd lose that friendly, but I was hoping it would motivate my players to be more active in the forums and such. I think it has worked fairly well.

One more week to go for this avatar lol

Although the forums aren't all that great - I have met some cool people here.

But I also like the rivalries and shit talking that goes on here, especially in BBB 4 .

Oh well. I look forward to stomping you while you're still a cupcake. May all your players builds turn out bad!

Man, Pariah is really paranoid.

I guess he couldn't come to grips with the fact that his team wasn't that great.

It seems that he did come to the conclusion that his team wasn't that good and took steps for a long-term solution.

By making a team comprised of his own players and no one to GM so people won't give away his super secret game plan?

Dude sorry to disappoint you - but I'm not gay.

And as far as my team - I wasn't happy with the direction it was headed in. We had some strengths and some weaknesses, and as I stated in the past I had some RL issues pop up along with a demanding schedule. So putting in extensive time to try and fix it was out of the question, - and dvd is right on the money - this was the best decision for a long time solution.

Now I know I have previously explained much of this, but it just seems that when any thread pops up with my name or team included alfies HAS to get involved - either he really has a crush on me, or he is a troll - I am deducting it is a mix of both.

I'm not sure what I said that made you bring up anything about homosexuality.

Must be that tolerant side of you?
