Title: OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 04, 2012, 10:53:47 AM
No trades etc. can take place here, just a general place to talk about the game whether be question or a bit of smack talk.

Quick question. The questions asked in our teams' threads, do we answer them there?

I'm glad you finally got this game off the ground Ian.  Should be fun.

I agree.  I like the idea of the press conferences and how we have the draft eligible players and all that jazz.

Thanks Mr. Death.

I haven't created a FA list for the simulated game yet. However, I might be able to make around 8 players or so sooner rather than later. Leave that with me mate. Obviously if we get players who dont sign with teams I will have to do just that :)

We're gonna turn this league upside down lol
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Hondo on May 04, 2012, 02:19:01 PM
Alright, question time again.

So lets say I wanted to approach a free agent and sign him, but I still have my two draft picks, I assume I'd have to cut one of my players, right?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 04, 2012, 02:21:36 PM
I think we have to negotiate with draft picks too, meaning that drafting someone doesn't guarantee signing him.

I love the drama Justin is creating. Very entertaining.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on May 04, 2012, 02:24:09 PM
This is more fun than I thought it would be.

I'm interested to see the grades for the draft prospects.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Hondo on May 04, 2012, 02:26:27 PM
Oops, I misread. Justin's guy isn't a free agent. Sorry for misunderstanding that.

Thing is draft picks are going to eat up cap space as well and you might not settle on the deal you want with them. So be careful there. Yes you are correct Hondo on that score.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on May 04, 2012, 02:28:20 PM
Hondo, feel free to join the trade discussion.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Hondo on May 04, 2012, 02:32:34 PM
I know I'm wearing you plumb out with questions and I apologize for that. But I have one more and I'll do my best to leave you alone.

I assume since we're adding years to the deals, this game is for more than one season. Do players appreciate and depreciate over time? Meaning, as a player gets older, his grade decreases and younger players stand to have their score go up?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 04, 2012, 02:33:32 PM
I'd hope so or all my building for the future crap will be for naught.

Yes, but the simulator has them set up as certain position so they might struggle a bit if its not natural. Of course we can retrain them over time, but you might find they lose morale and other things because of this.

Well realistically it seemed to be a choice between the asshat and our best player. I would've preferred the both of them together, but if Larry absolutely couldn't work with Jimmy, then, well... I figured it was worth using that as leverage.

That contract would be honoured, you could try and change it, but the player would be unlikely to take less money.

Something of an irony that, right after passing up Fan Mu, Vick Calamenta won't re-sign. I swear, some of these players are complete divas, lol.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I have got sort of character points about each guy written down so I am using them to express how they would negoiate and whats important to them. Quite amusing sometimes the way you guys are working them...lot of fun.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 04, 2012, 07:57:34 PM
He's still on the table Jen.

I really like how the players are reacting to everything, very well written Ian.

When I called in Jerry second I had planned to offer him veteran status while I had a team of young guys and was surprised when he wanted to go elsewhere.

I thought I would have to sweet talk Street down to 10mil but that worked out.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Okay there goes my saving throw. Hopefully Calamenta himself is a little more reasonable than his agent.

Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 04, 2012, 09:22:43 PM
Apollo got 9 mil, your draft pick is going to command money. Nevermind that Mu wanted 11 from me. At least I saved 2 mil on that deal lol.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 04, 2012, 09:25:26 PM
That's 21 mil for those two. I think I can manage it with 3 mil each on average for the rest of the team...lol it'll probably backfire.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Post by: Jennifer on May 04, 2012, 09:40:51 PM
Aww man. If Jones is this timid I think Bogolov is going to break him.

If Jones remains on the same deal, that leaves me with something like 21 million to play with for the other five slots. I can see Shaw asking for quite a bit, so it might see me rolling with seven in the team...
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 04, 2012, 09:42:37 PM
It's likely Texas will take Rivers because they already have a top PG really leaving Cross on the board for you at 6.

I might have to roll with 7 too. Hondo is gonna win by default because a bunch of us are gonna have 6 or 7 players lol.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 04, 2012, 09:47:07 PM
They probably won't sign since I'm the asshole owner of the league so it'll just be the rookies, my Chinese guy, and four guys who will actually sign with the team.

I kinda like the whole array of GM personalities we have too - Justin is the take-no-shit revolutionary who doesn't care about treading on toes, Hondo is the warm-hearted team dad, BD is the no-prisoners win-at-all-costs type, James is the bad guy, I'm the slightly underhanded wheeler-dealer...

Fun stuff!
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 04, 2012, 09:52:05 PM
I managed to grab 4 picks, I dealt pretty good.

This is still a gem. xD.

I thought it would probably have been a decent deal (considering how your hands were tied) if you hadn't immediately cut the guy.

Considering how badly I wound up tying my hands with Street and Calamenta, I came out of this okay.

You better hold a parade for that boy.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 04, 2012, 09:59:39 PM
It was either him or the team captain. Not cutting the Captain but the salary cap space of not signing Light will be the best part of this. Besides I already pissed him off so I think it was a good move. Got some draft picks so I'm happy.

Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 04, 2012, 10:03:10 PM
Man, you got a PG for 6mil cheaper...

I'm just glad that my team is racist and not upset how I shipped away the Reds.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 04, 2012, 10:04:24 PM
Racist and doesn't care about offending disabled people either, apparently. xD.

Yeah... I'm kinda amazed by how well that turned out. I managed to turn offending Vick into solving the PG issue.

-- That said, looking like the Hayseeds will be getting Vick for 4.5 mil less than he was asking for me, wowza.

I'm doing okay. I've got 12.5 million to play with for my last three spots. Vraba will probably come with a bit of a tag since he has pro experience, but the guys I'm looking at for another draft pick probably won't break the bank. Depends on whether Watchen is A) Ticked off about Vick and B) willing to accept that playing the same position as our star man means your value goes down.

Sooo tempting to try and trade Jones for Byways, but poor guy would probably have wet himself and I've been screwing with the fans enough already. Was an intriguing offer but I'm not hurting for cash and I'm banking on Jones getting over his injuries and lifting his game whilst being Shaw's understudy. 26 year old with potential > 31 year old grouch.

only thing is everyone had contracts and shit figured out before they made their draft picks....I rushed to pick to help the game keep moving because I was away, but I dont wanna draft someone who I wont be able to afford, fuck. Not sure what I can do, cant really delete my pick or anything, even tho no one went yet.

I just have like .5% of the info everyone else has ATM, soooooo

See what Ian says, I'll deleate my draft pick, and see what happens, take note Jennifer...since your trying to ship it might stall for a bit. I'll quote my post tho incase I cant go back and I need to take what I posted. So if you wanna help me out just kinda pause with the draft till Ian's back tomorrow.

Post by: Jennifer on May 05, 2012, 08:30:25 AM
Well, I for one don't want to overstretch my resources, and there's just no way I can bring in Johnson and then only have 3.5 million for Watchen and whoever else I wind up hiring. It would be a massive coup, but it's just not plausible.

But the money we both have spent we need to have some old cheap players in there lol.

Its possible with the Cap (Just about I think)  3 high earners and 5 on no more than 2 mil.  Here's to finding that Gem!
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 05, 2012, 09:16:03 AM
Nice to see that the only point blank refusal has come from the only guy that I really, really didn't care about, lol.

Although he doesn't play SG, so the competition is kinda less than he's thinking...

Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 05, 2012, 09:19:09 AM
BD you made a good deal on the PG, but some horrendous deals elsewhere. I can't understand why your backcourt got 7 million each and then a back up player for the Waves despite his potential got 8 million as well lol. Plus you completed folded on Fletcher and the PR budget. Just remember the promises you made about making this team a contender.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 05, 2012, 09:22:08 AM
That reminds me, I have a couple of questions:

Is it possible for us to get fired?

Also, if a player wants to be traded and no trade happens, are we forced to release them, or (depending on their personality), might they come back to the table?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on May 05, 2012, 09:24:13 AM
I was wondering if with players getting released ect will there be a free agent thread? So we can add players to the team and see whose available/use as leverage during the contract talks
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on May 05, 2012, 09:24:36 AM
Yeah I screw the pooch on the Fletcher deal ... but I can  make up for it if this trade goes through and I have a good deal for ollie

If you do an incredibly shit job then anything is possible. If the fans and players refuse to deal with you, then yes. Releasing a player is very dangerous thing to do. What you could look to do is a sign and trade deal with them. Agree that they will be signed for a certain contract and then shipped out immediately, but wouldnt have to play for the team.

Every player is different. Vick being the best example so far. He was made on a team first personality level, but watched you tear that team apart for Larry Stevens ego. Despite Street's off the court antics, players for the most part are quite loyal to one another. Then you made Stevens Captain and told Vick nobody listened to him lol. By the time he was released again by Seattle he was desperate to make money and find a loyal home. Hondo's approach to players and team lends itself to that.

Blade taking the chance on another massive star in Lights given his veterans elsewhere...echos those vets getting one more shot at a ring, so they would also take less money.

Its about really trying to find out what the player wants before making a deal.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 05, 2012, 09:33:23 AM
Personally I just overestimated how much impact Street being a complete dickbag would have. I thought everyone else would be glad to see the back of a cocky high schooler who mouths off about 'special' kids (and has apparently done so more than once). I was kinda heavy handed with Vick overall, but then, I was NOT going to give him the captaincy again when one of the main issues I got in my team blurb was that nobody paid attention to the guy, lol.

Stevens just seemed like the logical choice. Mukwaza? Too young. Watchen? Not going to get into the starting line up. Donald? Knew/know all but nothing about the guy.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 05, 2012, 09:36:40 AM
Also I have TOTALLY lost track of who's signed with who and who has whose rights.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on May 05, 2012, 09:39:15 AM
wait Watchen want to play SG  and that why he unhappy
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 05, 2012, 09:41:26 AM
Nah, his issue was that Mukwaza plays SG and SF, and then I signed Vraba, another SG. Watchen is already competing with Stevens for the SF spot (or more accurately, getting owned for it), so he wasn't seeing where he was getting playing time.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 05, 2012, 09:42:12 AM
Thats all the contracts up to date. Someone has some extra draft picks than is shown on the sheet, outside that. Byways deal on paper hasn't been finalized by Seattle, only BD has given a verbal committment of 2 million over 2 years for him.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on May 05, 2012, 09:44:11 AM

Who have you got available at centre, then? (And how much cash are you playing with, so I know what I'd need to haggle Watchen down to)

Post by: Jennifer on May 05, 2012, 10:32:30 AM
6 million with Watchen.

Hence why the Johnson deal is now more appealing to me. Trading Donald and Watchen out and bringing him in would leave me with 3.5.

So if a player has point blank refused to sign, and then gets no deal before the start of the season... do they become a free agent?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on May 05, 2012, 02:14:21 PM
Again, maybe a thread for Free Agents would be helpful a tad.

For example, if a bench player wants too much money, we could look at free agency and see if there were any options there.

I cant wait to see what Ian does with Free Agency. Like, is he going to generate new players, will there be any B, B+ or higher rated players.

But at the end of the day I highly doubt anyone is going to have much cap space at all. Id be surprised if anyone had over 2 million left.

Yeah but hes not drafting anyone. No young talent, he's the Dallas Mavericks without a Dirk. Lets just hope not the Mavs of last year, as Hondo's team is very very solid. No real weak points.

For me, only piss off is the only position I really needed for the draft was a Center....and the only 2 good ones went in the top 3. Frig.

I wanted him, it just sadly wouldn't have panned out so well because it would've left me trying to get Weed off Cory - and Cory was the other guy who had trouble with the Centre position in the first place.

I'm up in the draft with pick #12. Almost definitely going for Cage Daniels - which I'm happy about because that was the plan from the start.

-- Kinda interested in seeing how Shaw reacts to this request to take Country under his wing. Really, with him already locked to a contract I don't have very much to lose, and how he responds will give me a clearer picture of his personality. I mean, he walked on the Toppers, but that was after being directly snubbed in a press conference, so...

I think I'm falling in love with Mark Brown.

-

Went with Flips over Devine... had a feeling that Devine would've just gone with the same stuff he was doing at Seattle, just using Stevens in place of Lights in the SF role, since I have the other two big pieces of that line up in Shaw and Johnson. And well, since that wasn't working, clearly, and some people haven't been happy with Devine as a coach, I went with the big PR move and the big personality. I think a strong personality is needed to make the team knit, and Flips seems to fill that just fine.

Also I will need at some stage confirmations about your team captain for the season. If you haven't already offered that to someone. Please make a note to speak to your team captain in your thread at some stage soon if you have offered it to a guy already or in the case of needing to offer it to a guy make it known to call them in.

GAME STATS

Ok we have some people not assured with basketball and some who are. So I am going to make the stats lines incredibly simple for games. There wont be mentioned on minutes played, FG, 3 point or FT percentage in the stats lines.

Just simply:

Points, Rebounds, Assists, Block, Steals and Turnovers.

There will be mention from time to time like a Coach might say 'so and so had a shit game shooting the ball he was 1-4' or something, but that just means we look at that from a GM's perspective.

Hope that this nice and simple way means everyone can participate fully and understand it well :)

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 06, 2012, 10:31:22 AM
That will be more of a coaching decision Bone. So for example when you sit down with the coach and talk about stuff, you can see you want:

stick with the starters a lot
get a rotation policy
use the 6th man, but not much outside of that

Because the simulator I have is built around a 12 man team I am having to cut a few corners here, plus I dont want to overcomplicate the FBL in it's first season till we are assured it's a complete and utter success.

Just to keep everyone up to date as of this post:

Stallions have signed all their players, but have just drafted someone as well. Still got 500k to spend

Vegas has one space with no draft picks and 2.75 to spend still

After the Calamente trade the Stars have 3.5 million to spend on their one vacant spot.

Wolves have a full team and are 2.25 under the cap

Bells have a full team and are 3.5 under the cap

Hayseeds have a full team and are at 40 million after the trade of Calamente

Wave have 12.75 to spend still. Two players in Fools and Farooq that wont play for him and a vacant spot still.

can we still make deals during the season  or are we set with the roster that we have .

if we can still deal , is there a trade deadline like after week 4... no more trades .

I ask because what if a certain player not playing well because of moral problems or chemistry with the team and ask for a trade or someone else to be trades ... things like that .

Since Blade has his logo here is an example of what you guys will get every week. I have formulated it so you will receive stats updates on season averages and totals so you can add some analysis.

Gary is working on the other four I believe, so we are pretty much ready to go. I shall run a simulation as soon as he is done and hopefully have half of week one up some stage tonight.

I have a few questions about the league here.

1) Are there divisions? Or is it just top 4 teams overall that make the playoffs?

2) Is there anyway for players to say, improve during the season? Or will it be more off-season when say a rookie may move up a grade? Vice versa, if you have a star playing whose playing poorly, will his grade be adjusted accordingly.

3) Will there be upsets? Teams like the Las Vegas & Kentucky have excellent teams, but with the simulator will upsets happen, or because they have the strongest teams will it reflect in their domination over the league?

4) The pace of the games. Will it be two games a week with us controlling the different aspects, or will like it be a game a day kinda thing. Like how is the game schedule going to relate to real-life time.

A. Just 4 teams, remember this is sort of a beta season as well.

2) Is there anyway for players to say, improve during the season? Or will it be more off-season when say a rookie may move up a grade? Vice versa, if you have a star playing whose playing poorly, will his grade be adjusted accordingly.

A. With the package I have yes there will be to some degree, but dont expect massive changes.

3) Will there be upsets? Teams like the Las Vegas & Kentucky have excellent teams, but with the simulator will upsets happen, or because they have the strongest teams will it reflect in their domination over the league?

A. Well there are more factors than just stats and grades. Like take for example a game of say NBA on a console. Best team doesnt win 82 games straight in CPU simulation.

4) The pace of the games. Will it be two games a week with us controlling the different aspects, or will like it be a game a day kinda thing. Like how is the game schedule going to relate to real-life time.

A. I play to give you guys near on a week to do any GM stuff inbetween "weeks" ie the two games played in the week. Again is beta season at the moment so once we got it done and dusted for the next season maybe we can discuss changes and improvements if they are manageable and I can do them.

I'm mostly there, I think? I'm a somewhat-underhanded type. A little two-faced, very political. Can be very genuine and honest but not afraid to get my hands dirty now and then either. Works. :)

--

Also bah. I had a lot of hope that Country would be graded higher than that. ...His blurb in the draft implied that in the right environment he could be on par with Apollo (said he could be the second best big man in the draft 'in a class that has Shack', if Bennett doesn't convert to centre).

Expected that kind've grade from Cage though. At least he's on the league minimum and should grow into the role. My bench is kinda weak, hopefully coach BJW was right and Jones is underrated, and Mukwaza can blossom under Flips. Looking forward to my opening game.

My team needs a sixth man to score off the bench to get more points. The inexperience killed us in game one.

I needed a center before off-season started.

I needed a center in the draft, couldnt get one.

I needed a center via trade in the offseason, couldnt get one.

I still need a center.

I like the 8-man roster. 12 man roster means 24 more personalities he has to manage on top of the 72 he manages already. I'd rather see team expansion, like 2 (16 more players) instead.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

2 team expansion ... Expansion draft you can protect only two players on your team and expansion has pick of the league

what do we do for the rest of the week? I loved the fast pace of the game from the off-season, but seems like during the week up to the games the tempo of the game is going to take a hit.

Rightfully so, I can only image how much time Ian has to put into this game, just wondering what type of things we can do during the weeks to keep the game as active as the 1500+ posts in a weekend, LOL

I assume talking to players and coaches, as well as the press conferences Ian supplies us with will be the usual weekly preparations?

It's something to consider, but it's going to take a lot of work so I might not be able to do it. Unless you guys are happy with percentages rather than say he went 4-11 or something. Plus it might mess up my formula.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 09, 2012, 10:21:19 AM
With regards expanding the actual roster this might be difficult, but I will put together more 'position friendly' players for the draft. Guys who can play multiple positions as I recognize when everyone went bannanas with the whole trading most teams allowed Justin to walk off with three guys who can play centre lol.

I will look at also expanding the league with two more expansion teams next year and yes...there will be an expansion draft as well. I just need to be assured that the people we bring in as GMs will be as into the game as you guys are.

We can get into this during the rest of the season. Remember you have to see your coaches and talk starting 5 and other stuff before the next set of games or anything else you need. You can also be looking at how to develop players, future trades which cannot be confirmed, but discussed and what not. Also...there will be some information flying around about college picks coming up in a few weeks. Remember as GM you can also speak to other players agents not on your team or talk about anything you want. Finding the right balance as a PR spokesman is crucial and is saying the right thing.

If you can swing something that'd be great. If a player scores only two points, there's a distinction to be made. Did he score two points because he only shot once? Or did he score two points going 1 for 11?

In all fairness your season was fucked because you didn't make the right moves. There is 8 teams in the league...3 centres on one of the teams. Toppers have 3 guys over 6'10, Aces have two, Stars have two, Hayseeds have two thats 9 guys over 6'10 not including the guys both you and the Wolves have making 11 guys who realistically could play a centre position. You add to that all the 6'9 guys as well and there is the means to have it. You choose to have the 2nd biggest player on your team be 6'7 mate. Nobody else did.

There will no doubt be freeagents next year anyways because we will have a draft class of 20 guys (if we have the expansion teams), guys for the expansion draft and also some free agents. This is what being a GM is about, moving the right players into the right contracts, doing the right PR, saying the right thing. You can't call foul because you told the press your only big man who is struggling was effectively an after thought for next season after the first week.

Well I'll base my knowledge on the fact that if no one had a "/C" to their position I assumed that they couldnt play the position, blame it on my lack of BBall knowledge on that/

Im not really calling foul, but as the first team to have a mini "explosion" if you will, I just wanted to see what was up with the free agency,as there is the topic these and I'd need someone. But I see how next year how free agents will be added and makes total sense.

Looks like I gotta talk with the dude......if anyone can find him. Gary, design me a poster that I can stick on the side of a milk carton to find my center Weed. .01% of the PR budget.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 11, 2012, 07:08:18 AM
Probably because I just work off the stats sheet when I do the segment...so let's see if we can't work something out here. Seems a bit unfair to scrap the match as the simulator has given the win to Bone's team.

The Boston Bells were due to meet the Toppers week 4. How would we feel about swapping that around...or we ignore the mention of inside the FBL and I run the simulation again.

Seeing as your the most effected party you make the call on what you want me to do.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 11, 2012, 07:16:27 AM
Well what I don't quite get, I guess, is whether or not the Wolves/Toppers game was actually simulated. The game described is completely different to the Bells/Toppers stat sheet so there must be something between the correct teams? I mean, you have the commentators talking about Larry Stevens getting 35 points (etc) and that has to have come from somewhere.


-- I think keeping the Bells/Toppers match as it stands is probably a little unfair on Franchise, considering that's supposed to have been two weeks in the future and he might've changed things up for said game. It also presumably lacks a fit Jimmy Street, which is a further spin on how the match could've turned out

As far as other names that play, there's a monster truck called the Virginia Giant. There was the old "Virginia is for Lovers" ad campaign. There's always the ever popular Virginia Ham.

Also I am going to wait on the All-Star thing until we get big enough to have two divisions. So maybe a few seasons. Lets not run before we have walked a bit.

Though I will be adding to the awards an 'ALL-FBL TEAM OF THE YEAR' so people can vote on the positions for that.

I am also a very big advocate that we have an 8 team league right now and that its very EASY to be award happy and basically award the 'best attendance on the bench award', just to appease everyone. By having 6 main individual awards, plus the All FBL team you guys can vote on then its about being the best of the best in some respects and it also means not everyone has a massive history they can refer to.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on May 11, 2012, 03:29:07 PM
What awards are we looking at?

1) MVP
2) Defensive Player of the Year
3) Rookie of the Year
4) Sixth Man of the Year
5)
6)

No BD, unless you have cap room and then you will still have to honour that players contract, so by cutting a player you will be responsible for the length of the contract and incentives till they run out. However, during the expansion draft you can protect up to 6 players. The other players will enter the expansion draft and lose their 'contracts' with the current team and have to negoiate new ones. Another team can pick them up. Any player not picked up will just be sat as a free agent. The current FA lot isnt availble till next season and were scouted by Bones' guy so he will have first dibs on either of them.

You guys said about helping I could really use some help in terms of cataloging information about trades this season before the season kicked off. Not bothered about ones for future draft picks, but where you traded actual players playing this season. Also need to catalogue as well players who have fell out with teams and left ie like a Vick Calamente who left the Wolves...then went to Hayseeds and somehow ended up in Hollywood.

So...try and report on your transactions of players so I can make a sort of general log on my FBL info sheet.

Also you will now note all players have pics in the league. Just thought it was a nice touch. Nicked them from TEW so some right corkers in there lol

Dave Johnson (from Seattle) and a draft pick for Chase Donald (after I told him I had no plans to trade him... lol) and Steve Watchen (who asked to get traded so he could get more minutes)

Vick Calament â€" Fell out with GM Jen over being dumped as team Captain, went to Seattle who then released him and went to Kentucky on a basic deal before being traded for Hdjak Vlakov and ended up a Star. Will have his number retired by Wyoming.

- Traded Season 7 2nd round draft pick for Cory McDoe from HOLLYWOOD

- Upset Sheldon Day with contract negotiations he requested Transfer (see above)

James Cross - Fell out with GM Cory after Cory said he wouldnt be an outright starter and needed to earn his way into the staring lineup. Dealt him to the Toppers, who in return traded Mark Brown and their Season 7, 2nd round pick.

Mark Brown - After GM Cory ripped on "Mark Brown appreciation night", Brown was unhappy and Cory quickly traded him to Hollywood Stars in exchange for a Season 7, 2nd round pick.

I feel like I need to see for 'myself' what exactly Flips is bringing to the table, because right now, he is looking less and less useful - and in training is the only place I can't really get a report from.

To not to try and sway attention from this....but a football one would be tough. Were only managing like 8 guys here, a football team has ALOT more players....24 starters and backups....yikes. But I'd love it, as much as I love this game about a sport I really have no idea about.

I can help...I personally was going to look at helping Ian do that (assuming he wanted to try another Fantasy GM league). But Id say wait off on it until this FBL dies down. Its really popular right now, and with the pace of games getting picked up I can see it going until either Ian gets bored or we need a break (Id project season 4-5ish). Before you get to into it BD, see what works with the FBL and what doesnt. I was gonna start creating a FFL, but I want to see what happens season 2 & 3 in the FBL and stuff, so we can make a effective game.

I see similarities that transfer over per GM type game ie all the player/GM interactions, off-season moves, everything. But its been complicated managing 8 players here for most of the GMs playing (contracts and attitudes)....having 48 (22 starters, punter/kicker + backups) players in a FFL...not sure how to effectively do that. Not only so that it doesnt take a week alone to deal with every player, but to generate such a huge mass of content is going to be brutally long. Ians going above and beyond this season, and hes managing 64 players (i think).

But I WAS thinking using Madden as a simulator. Just create the teams (random generate names), super/sim the games, and then use the auto draft to come up with the rookies, ect.

Anyways, I note that we stay on topic of the FBL....dont want to disrespect Ian and his game by talking about another game that doesnt even exist yet, seeing as how much work hes putting in and how much more of this game we all have to play.

QuoteCould do a bit of both really...that is what the PR budget is for (PR budget I use as you can probably tell for basic spending will probably change the name a little to just budget next season).

That makes a lot more sense. I know there were one or two things I didn't pull the trigger on purely because I didn't think that fell under 'PR', strictly.

By the way, as far as the budget goes, is it adjusted somewhat for the size of the market? As in, do me and Puerto Rico have less in the 100% (so things take up bigger chunks of it) than teams like Hollywood and Vegas?

On a similar note, can we get a list somewhere of the biggest-to-smallest market size? People bring it up a lot and I'm not 100% sure what it means... just that mine is small, lol.

I believe the Stallions have a better record over the Wolves and Bells hence their position. Also the Aces and Waves have split games, but Aces have scored more points in difference. Toppers and Stars, Stars have scored more points I believe. Those could be wrong, but in the next week I'd imagine we will get more seperation. Anyway thanks Blade.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 16, 2012, 10:06:56 PM
I'm putting speculation in here because I want to keep track of my thought process.

It's not Cage... that was a red herring that I fell for AGAIN. Dammit Ian. I might need a hand from him on this, hope he's not pissed.

It isn't Vraba. Vraba is too busy being a lovesick puppy.

Nick Shaw is too professional for this kind of thing. Highly doubt it.

Country has already HAD his issues... and if he were juicing etc probably wouldn't have been out of shape in the first place. It isn't him.

Brad Jones has been playing too badly to be on drugs, surely? Plus he's 6'2" and looks like a weed, so... yeah.

So it's Mutu, Dave Johnson or Larry Stevens. I haven't spoken with Mutu or Dave nearly enough yet, but Cage mentioned 'prima donnas'... so I'm leaning towards the one-two punch.

Wait hold up... Mutu is 6'8" and 199 lbs - bean pole! No way in hell can he be juicing surely!

Larry has been really up front and no bullshit with me... maybe the reason he's been so blunt is a smokescreen? I know he has an ego and all, but drugs don't seem his style...

Dave I know nothing about. I don't think I've even spoken with him once. Need to investigate without pissing him the hell off.

Flips might be key here. He's buddy buddy with the players, apparently... if he's more friend than coach he might be confided in.

Quick standings check after 10 games:

1. Hayseeds (9-1)
2. Aces (6-4)
3. Stallions (6-4)
4. Bells (5-5)
5. Wolves (5-5)
6. Waves (5-5)
7. Stars (3-7)
8. Toppers (1-9)

Not sure who leads the tie-breaker between the 5-5 times, just carried over from the last standings update.

I believe I still lead the tie breaker Cory. Bells and Wolves and Bells and Waves split the series 1-1, but the Bells out scored both teams. I don't know how the Wolves and Waves did head to head, but it probably the same deal as last week.

Wow, a loss to the Stars. I feel pathetic.

Draft prospects are in - shit just got real.

I'm looking forward to getting involved, and subsequently trading any pain in the ass players to Seattle, which is where they seem to be at home.

From an outside view, this is how the teams look to me at the moment:

Hayseeds: A close knit group with some 'unique' issues that may or may not cause some issues in the playoffs. For unique see 'dead pig.'

Wolves: A team of singletons and house burning drug addicts with a head coach that seems to live in his trophy cabinet.

Toppers: The equivalent of FBL jail/detention. This is where you go if you behave badly. Once you get there, the GM will reward you for it and any well behaved colleagues will be encouraged to leave.

Stars: If you play for the stars you're either rich or you're not. Or you have an appreciation night. Money might not be the GM's strong point.

Aces: Everything seemed to be in place for a winning season but something isn't right...oh and a grade A player now misses 4 games.

Bells: This is where you go to embrace your religious/cult loving side. Apollo has his head in the clouds...

Waves: Dual sports superstars, recovering alcoholics and underappreciated guards, but the rookie of the year hitting some ridiculous stats.

Stallions: A couple of awesome hometown boys in McLoo and Rogers but a centre that should be playing for Seattle...

I've really enjoyed picking up on the different personalities and tactics so far and I hope to bring something of my own to the game (other than my complete lack of basketball knowledge and tactical naivety).

Not sure if thats the plan and your just adding the new teams so they can start to get active or what...

Team ones will stay active so I can use it easier, for me its better for admin searching to be honest mate. Just make notes on your own PC. As for archives, I have asked Judge to make us one so I can archive some of the information. Stuff I dont need day to day.

With no Redford Shack in this draft there's lots more depth. They can get 2-3 starters right away by moving their big pick for multiple quality picks
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 21, 2012, 08:57:12 AM
There's no Shack, but the fact of the matter is, you need an anchor for expansion teams, and you're not getting one by swapping a 1-6 for two 9-15s, no matter how you slice it. Even a slightly lower pick is a potential kneecapper  *shrugs* (1-2 for 3-4)

And bear in mind that 3-6 aren't locked in. You've got a higher chance if, for example, the Toppers finish bottom, that their pick (and hence the Hayseeds') could be #3, but there's a reasonable chance of it being anywhere up to #6. I've spent way too long trying to work this out and it's giving me a headache, lol, I just know I'm most likely to have picks #5 and #15, but could have anything from 3-6 and 13-16.

So I think nows a good time to start discussing improvement for next season. I say this just cause I know almost every GM was behind a 5 million increase in cap space in the GM Meeting thread we had. I believe 6 out of 8 GM's already confirmed we should make this move.

- $5 million is enough to help teams (almost ALL) who fucked up last off-season.
- $5 million is enough to still make the aspect of managing your cap a big aspect. Suggestions of $8-10 million would make the game too easy, but 5 is enough to give teams a bit of breathing room for their draft.
- An increase in cap makes realistic In character. The leagues making more money than ever, apparent by the 2 new expansion teams. Bigger sponsors, big television deals = more money to infuse into the league.

Post by: Cory on May 21, 2012, 05:06:42 PM
another suggestioned Bone had mentioned was good.

Ask for fines to be handed out to players who break on court or off court rules to be handed down by the FBL. No more fights without consequences, no more breech of contracts without consequences. The contract needs to be enforced. If you sign a contract you are bound by it. None of this refusing to play unless you are traded shit if you expect to be paid each season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on May 21, 2012, 05:09:04 PM
but just wanted to see if there was any way of a cap increase...if not i wont be able to make some of the trades I want. No point having two 1st round picks and only 4 million in cap to sign.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 21, 2012, 05:09:31 PM
You were supposed to make that sound more elegant lol.

The one thing I'd like to see is more variety in the schedule. It was too linear and boring. I'm hoping we can switch it up to be more realistic.

I say this with an understanding that it is a beta season so I know why it was done the way it was done.

Otherwise I loved the game.

Well it should be noted these are all just suggestions based of Beta, not in any way a shot at Ian or the game. This game has been a HUGE success, and these are just the majority consensus of the players feedback.

Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 21, 2012, 05:13:48 PM
Cap wont be increased, you all got the chance to do something with your cap sending people to the expansion draft. Its not suppose to be an easy game lol. As stated in the expansion draft their contracts will become null and void. So can be renegoiated.

I'll take on board the whole deal of fines and what not and see how I can work that into the game. Expect agents to be more prominent in season 7 as well fellas. When you get the ratings back at the end of the season, you will see the ratings box is colour coded which will refer to an agent who represents that player.

The PR Budget will become 'your budget' next season. I will convert the contracts currently on the table (ie percentages) into DOLLARS and you can work out how to spend your cash. This will include PR stuff. If you have guys that refuse to play for whatever reason you will see an increase in the 'budget' as it will be tied into the player salaries as well. So...for example you will have a combined 50 million. 40 million is designated for players salaries...10 million for other uses which we can get into next year as well. Because I use a simming option I have to have some simplicity as well. Lets not run before we can walk a bit.

Gonna be tough enough coming up with a schedule now for 10 teams lol
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Post by: Jennifer on May 21, 2012, 05:27:18 PM
With Walton going to the free agency, I have a question.

Is it possible for me to release Brad Jones as a result of his off-court scandal without taking a cap hit? Usually that kind of thing factors into a breach of contract. I ask because if that's the case I have some in character phonecalls to make.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 21, 2012, 05:41:38 PM
Here's the order of what will happen:

The current 8 teams will decide who they want to protect from the expansion draft. They have a maximum of 6 protections. Can protect nobody if they wanted to.

Those unprotected will go into the expansion draft where the Spuds and Colonials will draft away till their heart is content.

Anyone not drafted will become a free agent.

If a player is unprotected, his contract is not honoured by his club. So for example if you were paying Brad 6 million over 2 years. Once he is unprotected you then have 6 million of your cap now as Brad has entered the expansion draft

This gives you guys who majorly fucked up the chance to get guys out the team from the Beta season...

Once the expansion draft is finished. Colonials and Spuds can either choose to sign players or just have them on the roster...I'd suggest to both to not sign too many before the ACTUAL draft.

Then people get into contract negoiations...couple of things to consider as say TIPS:

1. Anyone entering the expansion draft will automatically lose morale and worth so will probably sign for lesser contracts with the expansion team.

2. All those players incentives are null and void so that means PR budget stuff from Season 6. That has to be then renegoiated.

3. Say you wanted to resign Brad Jones, let him go to the expansion draft, he wasnt drafted and went to the FA pool. You could attempt to resign him on a contract of your choosing bearing in mind his demands would be even less lol. However, the question would be would he want to resign with the team that didnt protect him.


With questions about cap space and everything this is your guys real chance to free up space now you have seen how the game works. I have been planning this to help the beta guys who now have a grasp of the game recover mistakes, whilst at the same time present Boise and Virginia with options of guys who have actually played in the FBL.

Hope that answers any questions of what we are doing and how.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 21, 2012, 05:50:08 PM
Makes a lot of sense Ian, basically what I'm trying to get at is the Greg Walton situation where he doesn't want to re-sign. I take it the expiration would take place AFTER the expansion draft protections and so on?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on May 21, 2012, 05:53:09 PM
Im trying to re-sign him now (not for the trade....i just am FUCKED with cap space...didnt realize it till now), but if I cant get him to re-sign, I assume he'll skip the draft and just become a free agent.

Cory will have the option to protect him or not. He can protect him from the expansion draft in which case Walton would just go to Free Agency if he still cant get a deal or he can leave him unprotected in which case Walton would go to the expansion draft. Given its a no real win situation for Cory, I think its relatively obvious what he'd do..I'd like to think lol.

Ok, another question.

I already have 2 deals made for the offseason, (Bennett and Cappy). Will the moves be in effect pre- or post- expansion draft? Just checking who are going to get my 6 spots.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 21, 2012, 06:03:03 PM
Because you guys have done that which is of no problem that will go ahead as soon as the season ends and then you can do your protections. No problems.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 21, 2012, 06:15:05 PM
Last question from me for now; will there be any more head coaches available in the coming weeks? Ask purely because the field is kinda narrow at the minute, and after the debacle that was Mike Flips I'd basically like a reasonable range to choose from.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 21, 2012, 07:15:06 PM
Okay I lied.

In addition to bumping my question about the coaches, I have a couple more.

If you're under cap on salaries, does that mean you get more budget for other stuff?

Since I don't have a head coach for next season, is it possible to hold off on deciding scouting until I actually do have one, and then spend this season's budget on that?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 21, 2012, 07:22:22 PM
40 million on players is for a players cap only. Never a bad idea to leave some room though I'd say.

10 million on the budget.

You can do what you want with the budget, but once the draft rolls around it rolls around.

Cap increase - Denied

Not being so powerless as a GM, includes the fines and holding players to the contract they signed
Maybe a midseason trading deadline

I'm against in-season trading, it seems like it would only complicate things. I think a small free agent pool would be a better alternative, just a few players unattached in the event a Weed situation arises again.

Question about locking in players.  If we've made a trade do we need to include the person or can we not include them?  For example, do I need to include Ricky Hallmark in my locked in players or not since I've already traded him?

You need to protect them to trade them.

Greg Walton is a great bench but would cost more to sign then what he's proven. Molivaz too, averaged 10 points a game but at 4 million too much for that, maybe at 2.5 he'd be good.

Nope, Richards is going nowhere. Him, Cross, and Rivers are staying. I wanted Apollo and Davies but those deals got meshed up into the three team deal.

This is going to backfire even worse than it already did at some stage. Not everyone is a D'amore Richards. Exposure to that kind of attitude will ruin some players.

Like, take wanting Davies. Fits perfectly because... he's an egotistical asshat? Buh? You're just gonna wind up with all the douchebags, who are going to wind up racking up even more James Cross incidents.

Can we get some draft projections here? Kinda like the NFL draft where we knew Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III were going this year I'd like that for this... Need to see if I can make a trade for whoevers taking Danberry

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 24, 2012, 09:30:36 AM
I highly doubt you're going to get a trade for Danberry, just saying.

There ARE projections on the drafting list, but I'm gonna make my own guesses.

Danberry is going #1 or #2, if Arkia doesn't take him Dorling will.

Bishop ... between 1 and 5, in my opinion. Depends what kind of pickings the expansion draft has, but there aren't many guys who'd bang in a ton of points, so he could go early.

DaKool Fox - similar, but could drop further than Bishop on account of being a SG, which there are an absolute ton of. If worked at SF would probably go sooner.

Truck Lynch - 2-4. If Dorling isn't grabbing him then I think Hondo probably will.

Han Stimmar - Could drop a bit, considering the people with higher picks don't really need centres. Around 6?

Mason Griffin - Wild card. Could go from anywhere from 1 to 6. #1 is probably high for him, might get egotistical considering the late entry. 6 is probably low for him. But plays a lot of positions so versatile.

Chico Velez - I think he's gonna drop pretty hard. Escobar and Manuel were headaches, so I don't think people are going to want to risk an egomaniac. I think he might wind up in second round tbh.

Kris Keys - 6 to 8? I'm not totally sure, but I know the Bells scouted him and they're #6 pick...

Kevin Moose - 7-9, at a guess. SG/PG is a pretty great combo.

Sparky Weasel - Bit of a wild card. Only has one position after all. I can see him going like... 9-12, maybe creeping a little higher than that.

Bernie Class - Not sure but I can see him sneaking into first round.

Chris Jones - He might get picked up as a back up centre from someone a bit higher up the order, but there's some big big variance at play here. He could drop into the middle of the second round without me getting too surprised, or go like, 8. I can see both.

Gunnar Lugasoon - I think like... 11-14. I don't think he'll creep into the first round but versatility will see him go fairly early.

Smiley Huffers - Early second rounder, 12-15, considering he's a solid roleplayer and a professional, which is always nice taking into account the circus of this league.

Nyako Umjumbo - A lot of variance... there are other Cs a lot higher up so he could drop quite a ways off the basis of being listed as a project. I could genuinely see him going last.

Bobby Band - 15, because Franchise will want him. :P

Tony Luco - Something like 13-17, depending on whether other guys are passed up on.

Sunshine Stream - He could fluctuate wildly thanks to the number of positions that he has. Could go early second, could be a late pick... but as we know, attitude doesn't mean a bad player.

Ronko - If I had to make a prediction for #20 it'd be this guy. Country was #8ish and a 'project'... second round project and you're looking at some trouble.

Pete Trafford - Higher than his position, WIP but I think could do well. 18ish.

Post by: Cory on May 24, 2012, 10:04:25 AM
Yeah wanna see where Arkia is on Danberry...if she wants simeone else she can probably grab them at #5 where i am, plus i could sweeten the deal. thought Dorling was going after DaKool after seeing his press conference

Ok, I want a new rule enacted. Only TWO teams can discuss trading for a player, the player on that team and the FIRST team that wants to trade for them. No other teams can even be in the picture until the deal falls through. Until then NO other teams can talk to that team until the deal falls through.

Well that's not really realistic James, if the player is popular enough all offers should be heard. How will the person with the actual player get the better deal after all? Remember, I.Love.You.  ;D

Not realistic? Trade talks have to end before new ones start. It's logical. All offers be heard? It should be first come, first serve instead of the free for all it usually turns into.

I like the idea of pm for trading.

That way the person ultimately in charge is the GM dealing. Use the trade discussion thread primarily and use PM if multiple people get interested

Full disclosure, I've discussed trades in PMs before. If this is frowned upon, I apologize and will stop immediately.

It just seems like its easier to get someone's attention on a trade when you PM it, it's not to hide it from anyone.

we were offering deals in the pm... it solves your problem of just two teams talking about doing deals and not having another team try to come in.  think of it as the public line and the other the private line

like your trying to shop someone without them finding out type deal

Only thing I wanna mention James is that as a HUGE fan of the old Raiders of the 70s, they didn't always get problem players. Just remember that they also drafted Bo Jackson (role model/legend) and Marcus Allen (role model/legend) during their most notorious years.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 25, 2012, 01:26:36 PM
I know that. Jackson is why I skipped on Hallmark. Need an Allen on the team though. Thats what is missing. I also think ditching Bogolov was good. I think he had too much control and started some of the drama.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 25, 2012, 01:42:04 PM
Well... you kind've kept on making assumptions over his head (like saying you'd have Bennett in a Toppers uniform by the end of the week when you couldn't trade). Bogolov is a good coach, he just takes no shit and if somebody is saying or doing stuff he doesn't agree with, he's gonna ditch.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 25, 2012, 02:06:43 PM
The thing is he agreed to it. Every decision made had his consent before confirmation. Only thing that he didnt agree with was the Bennett speech if I remember correctly.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 25, 2012, 02:09:36 PM
Oops, my bad, I meant having Apollo in Toppers uniform, Bennett already played for you, derp.

COUPLE OF NEW CONCEPTS FOR SEASON 7

Based on the reaction and general chatter on the shoutbox, I think this can be deemed as a success. Thank you all first off for that. I have decided to add a few more things to the game to help a bit more with players.

Once you have your lock in for the season you will present your starting 5. You will also be given in the offseason the opportunity to send three players to specialist training to improve any of the following:
- Shooting
- Passing
- Rebounding
- Defending
- Fitness

Naturally based on last season and other factors players grades will improve or decrease, but this can help problem areas you evaluate.

Also instead of a 'PR BUDGET' it will be a budget of 10 million to give 'extras' for players and coaches whether that be presents (ala truck a season), help with language (ala YiFi) or something for the coach (Mike Flips) you will still at the end of the season need 10 percent of this to scout a player from the draft or 5 percent for a free agent. So effectively a college player indepth scouting costs a million and a free agent 500k. You cannot use this for salaries, but for Public Relations it can also help like ad campaigns etc 'Oh Captain My Captain' or 'Faith In Frazier'. Might be fun to come up with add campaigns yourselves...better the slogan, more of the budget will effect morale as well. These carry over from previously agreed contracts.

Also there will be more interaction with player problems and developing relationships. I recognize that just drafting players and fielding a team would be incredibly boring for you guys hence why this is more of a 'drama filled game' to add some excitement.

You can also add variables for matches. Like a concentration on causing turnovers, making sure players split time, all this sort of thing, just lay it out when you lock it in. The minutes strategy will stay the same ie whether you use your starters more and the same for style 'focusing on stars' or 'team ball'.

We can continue to look at things as we get into more seasons, but thats a few added changes for you guys. Looking forward to the season commencing and a special thanks to Bone for putting the schedule together.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Sorry gonna steal your fight thunder.

McLoo vs. Davies Week 1. And I'm suspended, and Bunt is secretly a serial killer. Nothing to stop the fight from happening.

Anyone else get the feeling that the Bells will be the new Bad Boys this season?  8)

Just the Bells brass.

You need to get suspended harder Franchise. Succeed at embezzling funds as opposed to just talking about it.

Then instruct your players to stick shanks in their shorts.

Glad you brought this up lol. Last season it was always the hometeam first, but a few USA folks didnt get that...so to clarify the team listed first on the schedule is the home team. I will also be changing the pdf this year so that the team at the top of the stats is the home team. Just a little housekeeping, but should be better for you all.

I raised this before, but is there any possibility of some kind of 'storyline of the year' type award? I know we don't want to have an award for everything and their dog, but considering the off-court drama had so much effect, I feel like it's worth acknowledging more than just the players and their numbers.

Y'know, stuff like "Weed goes AWOL", "Brandon and Bryan", "Urinegate", "BJW the gambler" and so on and so forth. There's been some pretty quality stuff.

Definetly need to work a lot with Luco. I see potential there with the right motivation. Maybe work a deal to get Band in there since him and Luco as well as Cross went to NYU. NYU, where the bad boys go to college and then come to play for the Toppers.  8)

I actually think 2-3 teams are due for a rise this season based on their offseason moves so the top of the table will be interesting. Also, I think given the amount of talent availble to both you and Boise, you guys didnt do bad jobs putting together teams.

I'm really happy with my squad. Starting 5 is all B and C, and the bench would have been better had Watchen not been abused so he declined from last year. Should be an interesting season.

I'm not sure. My bench is better (Gilkansious disappointed me though, but eh, he's cheap and there weren't any other options so it's not too awful), but Nick Shaw and Dave Johnson both declined and Mukwaza didn't notably pick up from the extra training (which is a shame, he's young so I had hopes). Chico might have done but obviously I don't know his original grade so it's anybody's guess. Larry got better on his own, which was sweet (although his agent is frigging Falls). Fox is the same grade as Vraba and probably won't get homesick, lol. I was also hoping Country would gain a little more than that purely because his dieting and fitness regimen started in the middle of last season.

So I dunno. My star man is now even MORE my star man, the glaring weakness in my starting five has been polished up a bit and I have a better bench, but two of my starters are now worse. We look a bit better than last season, but it's overall dependent on whether or not I get blindsided by player issues again.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on May 27, 2012, 08:32:23 AM
I got good guys , not massive egos , but no real scorers expect maverick. who did improve  ... which I am very happy.  My challenge will be to motivate my guys and help them maybe player over there heads
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 27, 2012, 09:12:19 AM
Oh Ian? Just as a point of reference, you added instead of subtracting a year from Larry Stevens' contract.

Out of interest, might we see changes in weight in future, to account for people getting into or out of shape and so on? Just curious cause I would've expected Country to lose a few pounds and Nick maybe put a little on.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 27, 2012, 11:25:25 AM
I made out like a bandit. Street and Deane continue to get better from last season. Deane was a C- when he entered the league, he's a B now. Though based on the last news update I fear the loss of Miller will hurt his game a bit.

I did expect Massimo to get better since he had a break out season last year, so that was surprising.

Plus, I got Davies who was a definite upgrade over Apollo defensively.

Overall I have a better team than last year and perhaps the best team on paper right now.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on May 27, 2012, 11:32:54 AM

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 27, 2012, 11:44:49 AM
Despite being weak at PF my team overall improved. Apollo, Cross, and Richards are all B level players and Rivers jumped to a  C plus. Got two solid bench guys in Day and Stream too. Overall could be worse.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 27, 2012, 12:51:45 PM

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 27, 2012, 01:02:36 PM
Actually I think the Aces are the best team on paper. Only team with three A level players that I've seen. Bells and Wolves also look solid.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 27, 2012, 01:03:11 PM
Yea but the Aces ONLY have those three players. The other 5 players suck.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 27, 2012, 01:05:18 PM
Are you serious? There are teams out with 3-4 D level players so they're in much better shape than you think. However I think Texas is the top team after seeing their report.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 27, 2012, 01:10:09 PM
I'd put the Aces around 3 or 4. They didn't get better. They got worse from where they were last year.

Mai improved and X regressed a little. Vlakov stayed mostly the same, but as long as he's scoring 20 points a game I'm not going to complain.

One thing that really surprised me was that GoGo didn't regress at all. I expected him to drop since he is the oldest on the team. So I'm pretty pleased by that.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on May 27, 2012, 01:32:44 PM
Well Truck ... could have been worse  that for sure .  Maverick increases so he going to be least a 20 point a game player , but that only real bright spot ... just got a team of grinders no real stand out expect for Maverick
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 27, 2012, 01:32:53 PM
I went ahead and calculated everyone's grade based on a 4.0 grading scale. The top 3 teams are very close. Some interesting things. If Virginia didn't have such a weak bench, they'd be a top 5 team. If as mentioned Vegas didn't have 3 A players, (replace one of those As with a low B) they'd be where Wyoming is. Boston and Texas have the same team on paper. Hollywood with 4 D players has the worst team.

Of course paper means nothing as Vegas had a better team last year and they got worse. Kentucky got a little worse. Texas got a little worse, Boston, Wyoming, and Seattle got better. Hollywood got worse and Puerto Rico stayed the same. Boise doesn't have a roster up, but I imagine based on first looks they'll be between Seattle and Hollywood. Maybe they'll edge out Virginia but I don't know.

Las Vegas - 2.4 Grade: B-
Boston - 2.34 Grade: B-
Texas - 2.34 Grade: B-
Wyoming - 2.25 Grade: C+
Kentucky - 2.22 Grade: C+
Puerto Rico - 2.15 Grade: C+
Seattle - 2.0 Grade: C
Virginia - 1.84 Grade: C
Hollywood - 1.62 Grade: C-

Just for reference

A+ - 4.0
A - 3.75
A- - 3.5
B+ - 3.0
B - 2.75
B- - 2.5
C+ - 2.25
C - 2.0
C- - 1.75
D+ - 1.5
D - 1.25
D- - 1.0
F+ - .75
F - .50
F- - .25
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 27, 2012, 01:35:00 PM
That's how my team is. Sheldon Day regressed a little but Sean Rivers improved. James Cross and D'Amore Richards both improved as well.

GoGo is your secret weapon. He's like the gift that keeps on giving. Vlakov is the wild card on your bunch.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Motivational =/= whipping into a frenzy. xP

Flips just... isn't an anything type of coach. He's oblivious to the team and provides them no real benefit in terms of court leadership and so on. If the coach has an effect on results, anyone is better than Flips.

...See Hawk turn out to suck.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on May 27, 2012, 01:54:29 PM
I thought flips as a great player , does not make a great coach because the things he did came naturally to him. He just did them , but it hard for him to teach the players that not as skill as him to do what he did. They don't have his talent, so they can not do what he feels is easy thing ... which now he kind of stuck in his own world . missing his playing days

Should had him work on shooting ... he was a great rebounder and shot blocker , shooting was the weak part of his game last year

Well I remembered his fitness was the biggest issue in Boston before being shipped to Seattle. Other than the diva part I was hoping that maybe fitness would improve a little all the way around (has a TOs tendency as well last season) Shooting would just focus on that one area and I wanted him to improve overall...overall joke on me I guess lol.

Mu did play well towards the end of Seattle's season last year.

Don't be fooled by the ratings. My leading scorer last year for most of the season was a C rated player. The 6th Man award winner was a C-

Some players just have the "It" factor.

MVP- Redford Shack
Defensive Player of the Year- OJ McLoo (EASY!)
Rookie of the Year- Either Mason Griffin or Hans Stimmar
6th Man- Cappy Fields (bit biased but don't know too many other people's bench)
All FBL- Rogers, Lights, Davies, Bennett, Shack

Playoff Teams- Aces, Stallions, Waves, Hayseeds/Bells
Champion- Stallions  ;D
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 28, 2012, 09:44:50 PM
MVP: Redford Shack, should've won it last season
Defensive Player of the Year: Either OJ McLoo or Jimmy Street
Rookie of the Year: Griffin or Stinmar
Sixth Man of the Year: Sunshine Stream (pot smoking hippie Ginobli  8) )
ALL FBL Team: McLoo, Shack, Fletcher, Bennett, Street

Playoff teams: Aces, Stallions, Hayseeds, Waves
Champion: Stallions

Rookie of the Year: Mason Griffin
Sixth Man of the Year: Cappy Fields
ALL FBL Team:  Street, Mays, Fletcher, Bennett, Shack

Playoff teams: Waves, Stallions, Hayseeds, Aces
Champion: Waves (Yeah I'm biased. :) )

Post by: Arkia Fisk on May 29, 2012, 10:09:39 AM
Predictions

MVP: Scott Fletcher (for some reason I think this new atmosphere is gonna help a lot more)
Defensive Player of the Year: Domingo Robinson
Rookie of the Year: Mason Griffin (Whoop! Whoop!)
Sixth Man of the Year: Gonna take a long shot on Sheldon Day. (I want to see that 'the guy the GM was constantly trying to shop ends up producing' story lol)
ALL FBL Team:  Mays, Street, Davies, Robinson, Shack

Playoff teams: Waves, Aces, Hayseeds, Stallions
Champion: Hayseeds. GM Hondo has that touch once again.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 29, 2012, 10:33:04 AM
I like Sheldon Day. And that may happen if Richards continues to act like an attention seeking diva, lol. Him and Stream are going to have big years if Richards flips out. Call it a hunch.  8)
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on May 29, 2012, 10:37:51 AM
MVP: I think Fletcher or Mays
Defensive Player of the Year: Jimmy Street
Rookie of the Year: Clint Danberry of course!
Sixth Man of the Year: Err...Steve Watchen? Nah, I think Cappy Fields if he stays sober.
ALL FBL Team: Don't have my player list with me so I'll predict this later...

Playoff teams: Vegas, Kentucky, Puerto Rico, Texas
Champion: Puerto Rico

I think it's going to be a good season. The expansion teams have managed to put good sides together, Arkia more so than me, but we both have starting 5's to trouble anyone. I think Hallmark is going to be great this season.

I also think that the whole 'players being ignored = failure' thing might have been picked up on a bit too much in this opening week. Everyone seems desperate to speak to their whole team (well, except T-Bone!). I think the lesson learned from last year is to moderate it throughout the season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 29, 2012, 10:38:40 AM
Attention-seeking, or reacting badly to you slagging off his mentor? ;)

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 29, 2012, 10:41:15 AM
The only reason I talked to all of them was because all I did last season was talk to Coach Bogolov. Talked to James Cross a few times and Kamil Bennett once or twice and that was it.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on May 29, 2012, 10:43:56 AM
That's entirely the lesson I think Ian was trying to teach everyone James, but I also sensed a slight panic amongst the GM's as a whole to get through a lot of people all at once. I'm guilty of it too, I spoke to six of them - the other two don't really speak English!

I think he's going to through us some more stuff to deal with and some of it will be pretty subtle - listening to inside FBL I think will be very important too - it's a good tool for him to set things up for us to react to.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 29, 2012, 10:45:12 AM
I wasn't allowed to speak to my whole team lol.

MVP: GoGo Frazier
Defensive Player of the Year: Willie Davies
Rookie of the Year: Cling Danbury
Sixth Man of the Year: Bob Breaker or Horace Hall. Fun fact, Deane was the #1 scorer in the league off the bench, Hall was #2. With Deane starting now, Hall could take the well deserved crown. Of course Breaker was good enough to start last year and now gets to learn behind Davies. I predict Boston getting their 3rd 6th Man Award, since it's the only thing we do right :P
ALL FBL Team: Street, Lights, Mogo, Davies, Shack

Playoff teams: Kentucky, Stallions, Bells, Wolves
Champion: Stallions
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on May 29, 2012, 12:17:43 PM

But again thanks for the effort and I might catch you Friday night.

I was initially unhappy about missing out on Mu, but then I got the Fantastic Four together and Molivaz I think is going to be important this year. Plus I've got Danberry at centre.

Ronko on the other hand...there's not much to develop there. I intend to use him entirely for rebounds and blocking - he's the biggest guy in the league so even if he can't do anything else he's good at getting in the way.

If you can get your top 3 firing Justin you're on to a winner, but you have 3 big personalities to sort out.

I was also thinking maybe we can do a predictions league for the FBL....could add something more to do OOC wise and give it more of a real life "betting" aspect, and I also see how it would be kinda unnecessary but just tossing it out here. Could give teams a real underdog approach and stuff.

I think a predictions league is good for where the game is right now (like you suggested on the last page).....if we go 3-4 more season a fantasy league would work...but its a little TOO much for where the game is right now.

Noticing I'm taking too long on things between weeks. If we don't interact with the players at all will that cause them to not produce that week or just if we don't interact with them overtime? Don't want to hold up the game like I've been doing anymore so we can just go lock in to the next week if we want right?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

For the most part, problems are highlighted by Inside the FBL, news articles, and talking to your coach and or captain. Keep tabs on players every so often, don't ignore them, and you should be fine to expedite the process most weeks.

Post by: Jennifer on June 07, 2012, 11:07:21 AM
It's the "thoroughly professional" aspect I take exception to.

A thoroughly professional player doesn't come to a league purely to score chicks, nor does he allow a lack of scoring chicks to affect his basketball, nor throw his toys out of the pram because the team won't pay for him to get a dating service.

Bearing in mind I offered him team budget at the start of the season to help him settle in and he rejected that.

That’s clearly true but I can’t diss my players to the press. Plus, there is the point that he has been 100% professional for me, averaged 27 points last week and………scored the game winning shot against the Wolves :)

I'm kind've ridiculously happy still about getting Chico, on that note, lol. He's been a livewire when he's played. When Nick Shaw retires/slows down a bit more, Chico is going straight into the starting role, easily.

As a side note, asking your players or the PR assistant or their agents for advice on the campaign before running it wont work. Although I felt this was made pretty clear, the objective for you to improve moral was to go with a campaign/tagline etc. and then on the basis of how inventive it was got you more moral points for a player or team.

It will probably need to slow down a little bit over time to make sure Ian doesn't burn out altogether. I'm happy playing the long game here.

I wouldn't necessarily go with this.  First, for the Olympics, you would need 10 players so you have more to choose from.  However say if he uses our roster style and goes with 8 there will be players that didn't make the All FBL team, but are better than the 6th man or RoY.  For example, last season Mays (I think) won the MVP, but didn't make the All FBL team.  I would say Top 8 players voted by the GMs.

Ohh Country *ruffles*.

So long as he keeps filling his role, I really don't mind if he's as thick as a brick. He consistently gets 8-12 points and boards a game, which is perfectly fine for the time being. It'd be neat if I could get somebody better than him and have him coming off the bench, but that doesn't look all that probable given my available bankroll.

I'm going to post this here just to remind Ian, not sure he read my PM because he didn't reply.

I'm off to Greece tomorrow, leaving really early. It's unlikely that I will get to see this weeks results before I go - I won't have any net access after tonight until Sunday 1st July, so it's your call on how you want to handle the game.

You can leave press conferences for me to answer when I get back, but I'll lock in the team for the following week against the Stallions and Wolves now - keep it the same and just have Ronko focus on Bennett and Sampson. Also, give Vraba a few extra words of encouragement against Wyoming :) (I would post this in my team thread but it's locked)

Have a good week people, here's hoping I return to some big Virginia wins!

I'll also post my predictions for the following week too:

Week 6

Boston vs Seattle
Puerto Rico vs Texas
Virginia vs Wyoming
Boise vs Kentucky
Las Vegas vs Hollywood

Hollywood vs Las Vegas
Puerto Rico vs Seattle
Virginia vs Texas
Wyoming vs Boise
Kentucky vs Boston

Not to be a downer or anything here, but I think we need to put some sort of rule in place for when there's only a few people not locked in. For instance, having a 24 hour deadline when 80% of the other teams already have.

We've all been in that position before, where Ian and the rest of the group is waiting for us to finish up. Nothing to be ashamed of or anything, but just a means to keep the game rolling and fresh.

Post by: Arkia Fisk on June 22, 2012, 04:03:37 PM
Sorry for being that last idiot again. I don't think I really have the time to do this anymore. Shit just came to a head family wise yesterday, I unfortunately may have to reevaluate my entry in the ET tournament too. Hopefully shit works out and I'm just getting ahead of myself. But right now it ain't looking good.

I'll see how bad things will b in this next week but i might have to drop for the sake of not holding up the game. I can't keep up and it's not fair to you guys

Post by: T-Bonizzle on June 22, 2012, 05:22:33 PM
This is actually the first week I talked to multiple people, and I really didn't need to apparently.

Take care of business and lock in. Ian gives us clues to who we need to talk to each week (usually 1-2 people). Some weeks we don't need to do anything but lock in, and it becomes apparent pretty fast when everyone says "Fine" when you ask them stuff.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I think alot of people have been finding it tough, and I know the first season ran through in about 4 weeks.  But I dont see a problem with 1 game week actually being 1 real week.  Im finding myself locking in early because I am not sure when I will catch Ian online.  During season 1, I was on all the time, but not so much recently

I'm on vacation with limited net access but luckily my phone has net capabilities and there's a net cafe down the street so I've been able to keep up. Only problem is it closes at 1 everyday but I can manage until the wireless net is set up in my great-aunt's condo on Monday.

Not you fault...your a new player and you do have some "storylines" going with your team. The last thing you want to do is to feel rushed because everyone else is locking in, but if you dont have to ask anything or dont repeat, it'll make the process go by quicker for everyone in the game.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on June 25, 2012, 09:00:18 PM
Shack's good, but as a break down:

1 A player for a B, a high-flying C, a C- and a D+
1 A player and (for the sake of argument) a C for a B-, B and C-

Deal 1 leaves Arkia with half a team and lacking real bargaining chips to get more, meaning she'd have to take what was left from next season's draft, and with retirements and so on, those pickings will be really slender.

Deal 2 is better overall, but still leaves BD short players - especially with Penny going back to England. Also at current BD will have three B level guys in his starting line up. Taking Shack leaves him in a season six situation of one big player and little support. (And BD is very hit or miss with his drafting. ;))

It's just kind've lopsided, imo.

Its also quite difficult to find logos to fit these teams as well guys. Some terrific ideas, but they have to be in the same sort of image as what we have currently. Bears and Imperials.

Chris Shields and Jag have signed up so can claim a team. I will add two more on top of this if we can get two more guys as well giving us four expansion teams next season!

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on June 27, 2012, 09:05:54 AM
FEW CHANGES AND INFO:

Seeing as we are adding 4 expansion teams the same rules about 6 protections will go into place this season. You automatically protect anyone you have agreed to trade so deals of guys been traded already will take away from your six.

There will be an expansion draft on the basis of that for the four teams in it as well as players availble via free agency for all teams post the Season 8 draft.

Season 8 will also see you have to agree contracts with your coaches and their assistants as well. Each team will now have an assistant coach.

At the moment you have 10 million of your PR budget allocated towards all things PR. This will be increased to 13 million in Season 8. In that 13 million you will need to secure a Coach and Assistant Coach.

Given the fact we will have 14 teams next season I am considering dividing the league into two conferences. Each conference will then have 4 teams make the playoffs.

Round 1 will be a one off game between seeds 1-4 and 2-3
Semi finals will be best of three
Finals best of three

Pretty stoked at how well this game has taken off. So some definite changes for Season 8 and some considered ones as well.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on June 27, 2012, 09:14:24 AM

Sweet ...like the changes .  when can we go searching for the assisant coaches. Soon as Season 7 ends

Here is a projected division break down

East Coast
Virginia
Kentucky
P Rico
Texas
Boston
Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay


West Coast

Hollywood
Las Vegas
Seattle
Boise
Wyoming
Montana
Roswell

I'm glad to see that this game has taken off so well.  I remember when Ian first made a post about it to see if there would be any interest.  This game is fun and exciting and we are not up to 14 teams!!  The conference idea is ideal and I like the 8 team playoff format.  Great work Ian!

Once I picked Molivaz and traded to get Hallmark, I made an effort to pick up guys that had reasons to be unhappy at their previous teams. Fixing their problems and motivating them hasn't been that hard. Momentum will be difficult to maintain though as next year they won't all have a chip on their shoulder after a good season, so I'll need some fresh impetus from somewhere.

And James, I think you trade has a snag if Day doesn't agree a deal with you - I don't think you can trade someone who is out of contract, as he's not yours to trade!
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on June 27, 2012, 01:04:43 PM
 he still under contract until the end of the season he still has his signing rights ...he just trade the right to me ... I now can sign him at the start of the season or trade his rights to someone else
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

He is under contract when traded. We can always modify it to take off him and Huffers if need be so itll work itself out.

Just clarifying something...

If we trade someone now will they be part of the protected '6'? or will they be an extra?

So say If I have 6 players I want to keep now, but trade one of the spare two, the player coming in will that mean I have 7 protected, or still have to let at least two go?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on June 27, 2012, 03:35:35 PM
If you trade a player they have to be in your protected 6.

So I've got this straight; it's league position rather than actual finishing place that determines your draft order, right?

As in, if a team finished top of the league, but didn't win the championship, they would still pick last in both rounds?

Nope unfortunately not. You dont have to do PR for anyone. However...depends how much you want to value the player or have the chance to talk about them. By this I mean you write a little column on the player, use your 100k and we put in general news. Anyone trying to find a way around this in an OOC topic will be fined 100k.

I have no issue with chatter about specific players, but anything which seems very PR like in OOC chat will not be tolerated.

Jag here's a time saving hint. If you're calling someone new in, just start talking to them instead of waiting for Ian to say 'Hello'. That's how I do it to ensure dealings are as quick as possible.

Next few days (probably up to Tuesday) will be crazy for me, and my activity >may< be limited.

After months of being unemployed and looking for work, I got a big in at a new truck stop being built in town.  Not the greatest job on earth, but pays better than my last and actually offers benefits. 

However, the place my Mom works has been slammed by a massive group of people quitting, so her Boss called me up out of the blue and asked me to help out, so I've been doing dishes down there just for some "folding money". 

The unfortunate thing about that (depending on how you look at it) is that in the last week, their business has more than tripled.  I'm doing this under the knowledge of all involved that once the other job starts I'm out of there.

The other job called yesterday and I've basically got it.  The lady on the phone never actually said the words "your hired", but I was asked to come in on Monday and fill out employment paperwork, and sign up for their direct deposit system and go over benefits packets, so I take that as "You're hired."

Since I'll be working in their deli, I'll have to go train out of town for a week, but they don't know when that will be.  The store doesn't open til August 1st, so sometime between now and then.

Nah, I have 11.25, which will probably go down to less than 10 when I renegotiate Rekov's deal. I'm most likely dropping Molivaz for the expansion draft which will give me another 4m and then I'll have my draft pick and one other player to find and I'll probably have over 10m to do it. So yeah, 10m+ and two players to find, one of which will probably come via Free Agency. Not too bad really.

To be honest I have pretty much stated that if you put it in the confirmed deals thread then I acknowledge it. This was also your "defence" of getting out of the deal you did with Hondo over Richards originally over PMs, that it wasn't in the confirmed deals thread.

Its a pretty simple procedure, can't have it both ways mate.

I think Seattle, Hollywood, Las Vegas, Boise, Wyoming, Roswell, and Montana are West Division. Everyone else is east.

I know this comes off as kind of a stupid question, but what are the benefits of doing a press release for the players in the year end awards? Is it solely morale-based, or are there other in-game benefits in doing so?

Morale in terms of players knowing you give a shit. Guys who have had budgets allocated for PR havent been used this season which I find incredible in terms of building morale about a player.

Also it allows me to send you some keys stats you could use in your press release to show why a player should be given the nod for a particular award.

I don't get how one bad decision causes a player's entire season to go to shit, especially since said bad decision was apologised for. I get anything substantial from Mukwaza and we'd have won like, 3 out of our last 4. I benched him without telling him for one week and then he might as well have not turned up for the rest of the season. It seems overblown to me.

I know I will have to update the information reference picks that have been traded away, but that was random.org's findings on who positioned were in the teams who didnt make the playoffs.

Teams not in the playoffs are now free to make decisions on:

- There six protections
- Coaching for next season
- Scouting on draft class
- Anything else they want

Closing on the awards voting is soon as well folks.

Also for anymore deals and to make it easier on me now the order is up do this

For example

Hollywood trade their season 8 2nd round pick (no.25) to Boston for their season 8 1st round pick (no.8)

makes it easier for me to track!

I took the Aces on without reading that they were previous champs and although I have had two good seasons, I kinda relish that challenge of Maybe Hollywood or Seattle
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

That's my problem too. Seattle was a multiple time previous champ but was in rebuilding mode. Team is in better shape than it seems. Only one obvious weak point which will be addressed in the draft.

If for example, a GM resigned, would they be eligible to take on another team?

and if a GM resigned, would someone be able to approach the 'board' and apply fop that job?

There may be too many complications..

I mean, If I resigned from the Aces, it means a team is in Limbo until a GM is appointed, and if only James from the Toppers applied, then the only GM job available for me is the toppers...

You know what I mean?

my list comes  with summaries

lol

SEASON 8 DRAFT PROSPECTS

Blair Smith (Kentucky) 6’6, 218lbs (SG/SF) â€"PROJECTION TOP 3
Classy scorer and all around good egg. Can make something out of nothing and highly regarded as the best scorer coming into this year’s draft

DeShawn Drummond (UCLA) 6’10, 258lbs (PF/C) â€"PROJECTION TOP 3
Intimidating defender with good shot blocking and rebounding skills. Will bring intensity to the middle.

Matt Foster (Duke) 6’9, 235lbs (SF/PF) â€"PROJECTION TOP 3
All around baller with defensive and offensive skills. Has the ability to find clutch plays when required.

Corbin Dallas (Texas) 7’0, 288lbs (PF/C) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Good rebounder in the mold of a Truck Lynch or Kamil Bennett with excellent box out skills. Has the type of voice to make people listen.

Blue Reed (Virginia) 7’1, 329lbs (C) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Quick feet for a man of his size and is like a rock on defence. Competent inside game to go with a mouldable attitude.

Joe Harding (Temple) 6’3, 235lbs (PG/SG) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Best combo guard in the draft. Is a good leader with nice point guard skills and a half decent mid range jumper.

Brian Beast (Colorado State) 6’8, 235lbs (PF/SF) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Does the dirty work inside nobody wants to do. Could be converted to play some centre as well in the FBL with relative ease.

Champ Martin (Virginia) 6’0, 199lbs (PG) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Pure PG in it’s purest form. Can pass and play lock down defence if required. Nice speed and floor general.

Joey Street (Temple) 6’6, 245lbs (SG/SF) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Cousin of Boston Bells PG Jimmy. He has a very versatile game like his cousin with the potential ability to win games as well.

Ramick Lazco (Poland) 7’4, 328lbs (C) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Smaller than some of the man mountains of the FBL, but probably blocks shot better. Not much is none of his play in Poland, but an intriguing prospect for the FBL.

Lucic Chachenko (Russia) 6’6, 245lbs (SF) â€"PROJECTION TOP 10
Nicknamed the Russian mawler, he takes no prisoners on the court and has one of the best work ethics in European basketball.

Mission (UNLV) 6’9, 251lbs (SG/SF/PF) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND
Legally changed his name to Mission on a determination to turn pro out of UNLV. Will do it all and everything to try and win ball games. Can’t teach heart.

Flan Bulous (Canada) 6’2, 189lbs (PG) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND
Has been playing pro ball in Canada were he has quite the reputation for eccentric clothes as well as an eccentric game on the court. Finally made the decision to come to the FBL.

Michael Free (Florida) 6’4, 245lbs (SG/SF) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND
Just wants to play basketball at a high level and has constantly pushed himself to obtain that goal. Good outside jumper and competent defender.

Ernie Bell (BYU) 6’3, 200lbs (PG/SG) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
Would settle well into most teams as that required combination guard. Can pass, shoot and defend with a strong competency.

Mo Daniels (Illinois) 6’8, 251lbs (PF) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
A project player with a big upside of determination. Can rebound, block shots and cover valuable minutes for teams needing a brash big man inside.

Peach Lang (Georgia) 6’5, 217lbs (PG/SG/SF) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
Multi positional Southern ball player with a knack for coming up big when needed. Certainly has major FBL value due to his positional versatility.

Vernon Nelson (Navy) 6’11, 265lbs (PF/C) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
Some have passed on Nelson because of his service commitments, however his size is the perfect fit for the FBL. He can rebound, block, shoot and do most things many centres do.

Zack Fields (Mississippi) 6’9, 251lbs (PF/C) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
Brother of Cappy Fields has a lot of the good qualities his brother possesses certainly could offer a lot to a bench in the FBL.

Malik George (Indiana) 6’7, 235lbs (SG/SF) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
Was the heart of a very successful Indiana team and has proved to be someone that any team can rely on to do his best out there on the court.

Aaron Paige (Duke) 6’0, 182lbs (PG) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
Turning down a lucrative modelling contract to try his hand at basketball, there is more to Paige than just good looks. Would be a welcome addition to most backcourts.

Miles Peters (UNLV) 6’5, 209lbs (SG/SF) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
Part of a very successful UNLV side that shocked a few people. Peters can score points and create mismatch problems for a lot of teams.

Billy Reeps (UNLV) 6’1, 179lbs (PG) â€" LATE FIRST ROUND/EARLY SECOND
The third part of the UNLV side making the draft and it’s floor general. Overall a very nice pick up for most teams looking for someone to run the offense.

Gary Boldeer (NYU) 6’10, 300lbs (PF/C) â€" SECOND ROUND
From the tough basketball program of NYU. Boldeer is a big friend of Bobby Band and Tony Luco and is looking to come and bring a smash mouth inside game to the FBL.

Larry Hardaway (High School) 6’6, 195lbs (SG/SF) â€" SECOND ROUND
The first of three high school players looking to make early entry. Hardaway has a lot of class and skills to make a real impact in the FBL, but will have to be taken as a project player.

Massimo Torre (Spain) 6’4, 199lbs (PG) â€" SECOND ROUND
A gamble to get the flamboyant Spaniard to come to the FBL might well pay off. How he will adapt is game to play in the FBL is yet to be seen.

Caleb Toom (High School) 7’0, 268lbs (C) â€" SECOND ROUND
Powerful, big sized and can do a lot of damage. Dominated high school level, but surprised many by entering the draft early, making some question this and allowing him to slip down.

Mark Daugherty (High School) 6’6, 199lbs (SF) â€" SECOND ROUND
A model shooting professional in high school. Can hit a variety of outside shots and doesn’t miss free throws.

Yea really, I thought we could protect up to 6 players, and the others are left to their own devices. In my case with Hall retiring I'd release just one player into the expansion draft.

This is were people have to start paying more attention to the game a little. Cory and the whole Nest thing for one. McCrackin has mentioned a few times that the agreement to let Penny go is seperate to the expansion draft as he is returning to England. He even went as far as to say

"Given that there is a deal for Chris Penny already done and dusted to release his contract, that leaves Team Captain Ollie Stambola, reliable Tuck Finch and promising backup centre Nyako Umjumbo on the chopping block."

He then went onto mention who he thought would go out the three. Saying two would have to.

Chris Penny isnt retiring. BD offered him a release on his contract to return to England. Horace Hall and actual retiring players are different as they are not receiving monies from the team to retire. Penny has a deal worked out with BD. As said it has been mentioned more than once by Chase McCrakin. If BD had done a deal for say Umjumbo, he would have automatically had to release Ollie and Finch.

Like I said, all this stuff is there in black and white to be read or hear. Chase and Dirk dont say stuff for the hell of it.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on July 04, 2012, 08:58:38 PM
The positive for BD is Penny agreed the deal as a PR move. Therefore it wont effect BD's actual player cap, but will effect his PR cap, which he probably has more control over at the moment. 500k of next season goes to his agent, 500k to him.

Here was what was said:

(http://www.efedknights.com/FBL/players/agentdonfigs.jpg)

(http://www.efedknights.com/FBL/icklelogo.png)

Hi there GM Death. Chris and his family would really like to return to England. What I was working on as a proposal was releasing Chris from his contract with you next season. If you can say make a tax avoidable PR donation to DF Agency I can give Chris his 500k percentage, plus some for myself say 500k to make it happen and you will be free of his salary cap for the Season 8 season. Does that work for you?

In terms that Horace has done the following:

1. Is not a player/coach which means you keep his players salary
2. Has agreed to retire from the organization
3. Has recommended he be left unprotected for the expansion draft
4. Will retire when the season ends
5. Will return to the Bells on an Assitant Coach contract to be agreed by the GM

The same thing is going on in Virginia with Steve Watchen. Although he hasnt got a coaching position agreed yet.

In the case of both Kentucky and Las Vegas who have agreed player coaches they wont have to dip into the PR salary to fund these guys as they are still active players.

MVP has 10
All FBL 1st team has 13

with the voting so tight please make sure everyone playing the game votes and votes 2 times on each category.

Either I messed up and should've let Hawk talk to Nest, or Hawk underestimated Nest's demands. He thought he could get him for 1.2 million. :/

Just for the record guys. I have a list I made of when guys plan to retire from the game and what circumstances could change their mind

ala Gogo or Rattle having second thoughts.

If these criteria are met, they will reconsider. If not then they will retire. Similar deal to Football Manager in terms of asking to reconsider retirement.

Obviously you cant have the list or the criteria lol

Nah not quitting, just frustration. I didn't know I could contact Stambola before the trade was final. But I fucked up not talking about him. I'm admitting my faults but it's just trying to dig myself out isn't working. Just a game but I also spend a lot of time and effort as well...

Take a step back and let the draft happen, then work from there.

You STILL have the 5th overall pick. Time to build a team around that player and Shack.

Don't overthink it.

Look at the NBA franchises for example. There aren't many teams who do teamwide turnover every season. You have a free agent signing here, a trade or two on occasion and that's about it.

Build through the draft, be patient with these guys, and everything else will take care of itself.

To be fair the original trade was good value (remember DaKool was #3 pick last season and scored a lot of points). It was trading DaKool that wasn't worth it.

Jag has passed out the expansion draft now. I assume Shields on the basis he has a full roster will also pass. That goes back to Rebel to see if he wants Closeness or Farooq and we finish with either TyTy/Jen making the calling on the other.

So...we are at pretty much final call on draft trades folks for Season 8. If you have pressing business get it down now. Or it will be locked in and the draft will commence!

QuoteJJ has no interest in signing a long term deal with Seattle after your comments towards him over the last few seasons. When I was asked whether he would play for you, he would do this out of being the professional he was, but at not stage did we indicate he would sign a long term deal with Seattle. He will be exploring free agency once his contract is up.

If Reeps doesn't sign I'm just going to go find a Greek dude.

I just don't get how the agent thinks it's a better career move to, y'know, not play for a season, diminishing his player's value.

I somehow think it's fair to assume that if a player doesn't sign he just plays in like Europe or something

I have his signing rights, having drafted him. I don't follow the American sports system, but I was under the impression that meant he couldn't sign for anyone else until next season.

Last season when I drafted Bobby Band, I already had a full roster. So I retained his rights until next season, where I could have traded him or signed him then.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on July 10, 2012, 11:48:34 AM
So anyway let me explain the schedule/division/playoff thing, since I made the schedule with all this in mind.

Each division has 7 teams (as BD noted). So originally we intended for everyone to play their division twice and interleague play once.

For weeks 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, there are six division games and one interleague game which will always be the featured game of the week (aka the last one). So when I posted the spoilers, that week Tampa Bay vs. Las Vegas was the feature game. Weeks 4, 5, 6 are all interleague plays.

Unfortunately because of us having 14 teams, it was not possible for me to create a perfect schedule where you play everyone in your division twice. So while Wyoming and Las Vegas play a perfect schedule in the West, the other 5 teams have to have interleague play. So for example Montana plays Boston twice and Wyoming only once. It's just the way things worked out.

That means some teams will have slightly tougher schedules. The only consequence of this is that divisional record cannot be used as a tie breaker because not everyone plays the division evenly.

I think we intended for the top 4 teams in with the best records in each division to go onto the playoffs. That could mean that the 5th place team in one division could have a better record then the 4th place team in another division, and it happens. Whatever.

I think that about covers it. Here's the Week 1 teaser again if you want to make plans. Note, despite this being an 'American league' the team on the left is the home team.

Boston vs. Pittsburgh
Roswell vs. Montana
Puerto Rico vs. Kentucky
Wyoming vs. Boise
Virginia vs. Texas
Seattle vs. Hollywood
Tampa Bay vs. Las Vegas
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on July 10, 2012, 04:13:29 PM
just thinking say if no new teams join next year do we still have something along the lines of a expansion draft? I know its the only thing that saves most team some cap space.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on July 10, 2012, 04:21:33 PM
My guess is they would go into free agency.  You can release however many players you want.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on July 10, 2012, 04:23:41 PM
Ian said earlier that some foreign teams might pop up who will pick up players.

But he doesn't want people to just be able toe release people because it's then too easy to compensate for screwing up and penalises the people who are doing a good job (his words, not mine).
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on July 10, 2012, 04:42:41 PM
I think being able to drop 2 players a season would make the most sense. You sign an injury prone player or something like that and need to dump him.

100% this. If you screw up and you want to release players under contract you should have to pay up their contract from your budget. Cap and contracts are there for a reason. I had a great season with loads of cap space, it would be unfair if others could magic up cap space put of nowhere when I've been careful with it.

The schedule is fine.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on July 11, 2012, 12:02:33 AM
Rather than an expansion draft, how about buying out portions of contracts?

If we're going to keep having drafts every season...we need some way to free up space. Whether we buy out contracts, or just are able to flat have a club option to send one player to free agency, that's the way I can see it being balanced out.

Or players start retiring earlier. That would work too.

Here are the grades for Season 8. Because Tampa Bay and Roswell aren't done they are omitted.

Puerto Rico Waves - 2.72
Wyoming Wolves - 2.56
Texas Stallions - 2.56
Boston Bells - 2.56
Las Vegas Aces - 2.53
Kentucky Hayseeds - 2.50
Virginia Colonials - 2.44
Boise Spuds 2.34
Pittsburgh Blades - 2.13
Seattle Toppers 2.03
Montana Bears - 2.00
Hollywood Stars - 1.90

5 teams this year break the 2.5 mark of Season 7. Puerto Rico, despite losing Shack, acquires JJ Rogers, and a better overall draft has them shoot to the top. Wyoming sits in 2nd this year, making the least amount of changes to their team (3), followed by Texas (4), and Boston (5). Wyoming may have better chemistry because of this fact and make a big jump from last year. Las Vegas who have been the bench mark for the last two seasons have taken something off. 3 of a Kind has carried the team in the past but with Robinson's decline, they won't be able to cover for their '5 busts' forever. Still 2.53 is better than last year slightly. Kentucky sits at 2.5 on the outside looking in, but the reigning Champs never let something like team grades keep them down. The Colonials improve massively to sit at 2.44, a far cry of their less than 2 grade from a season ago. Boise comes in at 2.34, the mark where teams such as the Wolves, Stallions, Bells, and Waves sat at a year ago. Pittsburgh Blades, despite being criticized for skipping the college draft lead the mark for expansion teams at 2.13. Seattle in it's battle to stay off the bottom have improved slightly. Montana nips are their heels not far behind at 2.00. Finally Hollywood rounds out the standings again, not improving much, and the rest of the league seems to pass them by.

Seeing as most folks forget to check in with the docs and use the guranteed PR this is the time to do it.

Once your happy with this. Tell your PR Assistant to LOCK IN PRESEASON and once everyone is locked in the coaches will return.

Then we get a bit more preseason before you lock in for week one. Once your ready to lock in week 1 bold LOCK IN WEEK 1

When speaking to the coaches remember to decide your minutes and rotation schedule for the team.

It's nice to find the distinction between a good coach and a mediocre one. Seriously though, he was this bad from the beginning, Ian just didn't want to make it immediately obvious, I figure.

You can choose to ignore it or use it. Tag lines are required to use it which you need to confirm which effects morale. You can do this at any stage of the season, but doing it early will have a better effect as a campaign.

You should have known you would need Bamba at the PG position.  That's the whole reason you got Shack.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Arkia Fisk on July 13, 2012, 03:22:01 PM
Not necessarily hes listed as SG first, I figured give it a shot since its a position he knows. I thought can still get the ball to Shack. I just didn't want to start Majorca but I am so it is what it is.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on July 13, 2012, 03:23:08 PM
But I ran into the same problem with him.  I had him at SG to start off with and then when I moved him to PG he flourished.  He then had a good season for you at the PG position.

Just wanted to toss this out for all of you to know. I am gonna try out for the biggest loser. There's a 1 in 100,000 shot of me making it on the show, but if I do I would potentially be gone for like 5 months. If this happens, I'd like for MaskedLucha to take over the Blades. I know it's usually first come first serve, but he really wanted to play and he's a cool guy.

As long as some GMs don't hit the panic button, we'll have some competitive games this season. Even if you're having a losing season, chemistry is important. Go look at what Dorling did with Croatian Nation. The longer players play together, the better they gel.

I'm the opposite! From an objective point of view I would have thought that, if I was to win one game this week it would be against Boston, but I beat the champs instead. And in the first season I beat all of the other teams in the playoffs, but lost games that I hoped to do better in. Maybe my guys are big match players?

To make the schedule easier on Bone next season I will be adding two final teams to the FBL. I'd like to only have committed players...basically carbon copies of yourselves lol. Domingo has been an avid follower of this game so I am offering him up a spot first and the second to be decided. I will stress for the record I dont want any Parttime Paul's in this. Reason being is that with work my online time might be lesser so I need the people to be checking in circa once a day to see if there is an update.

Thanks also going to have to pick a couple of cities. One in the East and one in the West.

I was thinking small cities not usually associated with having a NBA franchise or maybe a state like we did with Texas.

Finally, going to start nailing down names for your stadiums you play in. I think some have been mentioned before in Inside FBL, but I cant remember them lol, so if anyone else does let me know!

I agree with me probably being run out of Seattle but not with the Velez part. He wasn't interested in winning Hollywood and it's been more of the same in Seattle. Team is good but coach is the total wrong fit for the team.

I think the Columbia Sandlappers will work as far as name goes.  It's a name attributed to a certain region of the state that makes up 12%.  In my opinion, it's probably the best name for the team other than Hurricanes.

Actually, we could use a team in the middle of the country. It's a pretty blank affair.

I say keep Columbia, add a team in the middle of the country (Des Moine, Milwaukee, Indianapolis) maybe move Texas to the West as a result. Or instead of Columbia, a Team in the middle of the country and a team in Alaska. San Diego is a bad choice because of it's proximity to Hollywood and Las Vegas.

Take a look in my next post.

Some suggestions... to go along with the map...

Milwaukee and Columbia, move Texas to the west (or make Milwaukee West)

Milwaukee East, Anachorage West

Indianapolis East, Sioux Falls West

Little Rock East, Bismark West

St. Louis East, Dakotas West
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 23, 2012, 07:29:36 PM
Milwaukee already has the Bucks in the NBA and Indianapolis has the Pacers.

Like either of these options:
Little Rock - East, Anchorage - West
St. Louis - East, Dakotas - West

Well fuck the NBA for ruining my coverage maps. They have to occupy all the cities in our empty zones...

Which reminds me. By default the FBL teams named after states automatically play in their state capitols on my map. Except for Kentucky I accidentally put that in Lexington.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 23, 2012, 07:39:50 PM
Alaska and either Mississippi or Alabama are the best options. No close NBA teams to Alaska and the two southern states are not in any team zones. They're right in the middle plus could be a natural rivalry with Tampa.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on July 23, 2012, 07:41:17 PM
Still leaves every state the Mississippi runs through without a team lol.

Though with 15 main land teams, we're asking each team to cover about three states, and that's not happening.

I really like the idea of a team in Alaska. *If* I get run out of Seattle, that'd be the perfect place to throw me into. It's both away from it all and has a basketball team. Perfect for a GM running from the pitchforks his fanbase is chasing him with ala the Frankenstein ending. Plus they have the Iditarod and the Palins. :P

But you're already an established GM, so the only way that would work is to place a new GM in your spot and give you a fresh start. Don't really see Ian doing that.

Plus it would be much more fun to watch you try and dig yourself out of this hole. :)

I went back to the beginning of last season for the Toppers, and I have to say that Flips looked like he was doing decent with the team considering all the off court issues with the team. Not to mention two unhappy players, and the Bad Boy experiment.

He's just an assistant on your team, so the situation is a bit different, but like I said... He didn't seem that bad. have not looked at what he did for Jen though, as I think I remember him having coached her team as well.

As far as the Velez's go, you never know how things are going to go. They don't like GM Franchise, so that may factor into the results and how they go about coaching.

Mississippi and Anchorage it is. I have also got to check with this guy who PM'd me about a month back about the other GMs spot. I offered Domingo as well so MLL, it depends on whether the other chap wants to do it or not.

Fair Enough just know that you have a willing and "ready" competitor ready to fill the role.  And just throwing out the idea how do you have a team in Alaska and not call it the Crabs or King Crabs?

I have no choice but I honestly don't see it happening with me and the Velez father and son there at the same time. I think it will be either me or them leaving and more than likely it will be me getting shipped to an expansion team while they stay with the new GM. Need to see what players are siding with me before deciding what to do. Sure I have a few who still like me.

I know I'm late to this one; but Flips is a dire coach. Velez is okay, he's just a dick, so with Stars/Toppers he's just stopped giving a damn because he doesn't like the GMs.


"Country is a decent centre, but he needs to learn from someone good. He has never had a supportive GM there...I know...and here."

Let's pull a Lance Storm and get serious for a minute here.

This thing was inevitable with Country from the beginning. It was clear from the start that he wasn't the sharpest peanut in the turd, and that he wasn't given to reason like normal folk. Honestly, I'm surprised you got this far with him. He's far too big of a manchild.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on July 25, 2012, 09:31:08 AM
My coach quit, but I saw that coming.

Yeah, Country needs to be handled in a certain way.  However, Jen, in my opinion Ian gave you a chance to turn it around when he gave you the option to send him to school.  Unfortunately you chose the wrong school when you sent him to that surfer thing.  I think if you would have chosen the other school then he would be a little better to deal with.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Jen... He just need reassurance that you  had his back... You bulk at spending the money to do the dating service ... It was not about the money , to him it would have told him you care about his well being.  He felt that you did not care about him at all and he got mad... also if you had gave him the week off to get himself right . that would have help also.   So Vraba going to hate  you for long time


Velez is a good coach ... terrible person.  I handle him wrong ... He  did not like the team and was just coasting . I put together a good team , but below average to rest of the league  and I blame him for not getting them to play well.  I should not have confronted him about it.  I pissed him off ...  I should have bypass him and went to scotty and got his input ,  but by time I talk to Scotty  it was to late and he wanted out

I know Vraba hates me and I know why. That doesn't mean it's cool for him to spread blatant lies about me in the media.

And hindsight is 20:20, maybe I'd have sent him to the other school in retrospect, but in retrospect I would have done a lot of things differently. I didn't go with it because it was the cheap option, I went with it because 'refined boys' was the last thing I'd associate with somebody like Country.

Your comments openly touting for the opportunity to join the Alaska expansion team franchise is considered a slap in the face to this organization which has supported you through thick and thin. As Chairman of the Board here in Seattle, it is with regret that the organization has decided to part terms with you for the remainder of the Season 8 season. The Seattle organization would like to wish you well in your future endeavours. Also, you have a small penis.
Sincerely
Shazam Singh

I do wonder how that would work though, like who gets first dibs on Seattle, whether it be an existing GM or Dom or Strike.

Just being honest though, I think if I were in that situation, I'd take the expansion team. Mostly because (no offense to James intended) Seattle is in shambles with some poor signings and contracts. I'd rather start fresh and build through the draft process.

Of course on the other hand, Seattle's got Mason Griffin, which is about as good a player in the league.

Decisions, decisions.

I do wonder how that would work though, like who gets first dibs on Seattle, whether it be an existing GM or Dom or Strike.

Just being honest though, I think if I were in that situation, I'd take the expansion team. Mostly because (no offense to James intended) Seattle is in shambles with some poor signings and contracts. I'd rather start fresh and build through the draft process.

Of course on the other hand, Seattle's got Mason Griffin, which is about as good a player in the league.

Decisions, decisions.

Do you really think an existing GM would drop their team to go run Seattle?

Tbe people in the market for Seattle are BD, Dom, and Strike. But really you could almost treat it like an expansion team when you come in and build aroundMason Griffen. Seattle has a leg up over the expansion teams though because of him.

Very true. Been reading back onto all the teams, starting from the newer ones to the older, more established to get a feel for the game and just got to Seattle...whoever gets it does have a lot of work to do ahead of them. It's basically playing the game in "extreme" mode, for those familiar with Metal Gear Solid. <_<

Seattle's new GM needs to send Mission, Beast, and Franks to the expansion draft to save 17 mil and get new coaches. Problem easily solved.

Go by this formula and it will work. The other five guys are decent. Keep them. Drop the three I mentionned and use the draft and a free agent to fill out the roster.

I'm trying to figure out how many picks you have left in the draft... Well, when you were GM. I saw that you traded away 3. 1 first rounder and 2 second rounders, but got 2 in trade. 1 in each round.

Oh, the challenge is enticing. Seeing if you can get the Velez's to work with you instead of against you; something to really challenge you.

Yeah we have 1 in each round. Made sure of that in the Rogers deal so there is something to work with.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on July 25, 2012, 06:17:48 PM
I'm not totally sure, it's not been tried before. However I'd see positional training as like, looking to school players in certain areas, making up a certain amount of their training workload (otherwise how do they have any aptitude in that area?). De-training could be a matter of re-focusing on the other positions he has - SG/PF/SF and neglecting C. Like, say you have a McLoo who has always been natural at SG/SF, then I doubt you could tell him to just concentrate on SG because he's always played both positions, but when it's a rookie who is trying to cover four different positions, I don't see why it wouldn't be doable.

After all, you already have some players (like Miles Peters) who have been stated to be better at one or the other positions that they play.

According to Ian every character has a key. Some are just extremely hard to open than others. Dem Velez's aint worth the effort really. I do agree they seem to want to coast and not work. Fact of the matter is no team is just established each of the GMs had to make moves and adjustments to become successful or even 'somewhat' sucessful and to have a coach who's not willing to work through those moments (ie Velez, Devine, etc) aren't worth the time truly. I mean Devine gave me a hard time but what he did to Rebel was just fucked up.

Just saw this in the Boise thread, a letter from Singh:
"Miss Fisk
Our official offer is this to you. We believe you have done a tremendous job turning around a mediocre team into a contender in the West. Given our history of success here in Seattle, we feel we are two good coaches away and a fantastic GM from being back in contention. What we would like to offer you is to sit out the rest of Season 8 with the Spuds, but before you do we would like to offer a trade to you of the following players. Seeing as we have no GM to do so, I will be involved in negotiations.
Redford Shack, Bamba Smalls and Flan Bulous for Mason Griffin, Brian Beast, Mission and Ramick Lazco.
Further to our offer we will also be pursuing new coaching opportunities here in Seattle, under of course your advisement if the job is on the table.
We are also working with an organization to trade away Moses Franks as well.
Naturally this would mean sitting out Season 8 and allowing the Spuds to carry on without you, however what this will mean of course is the chance for you to come to an organization that wants to be behind you 100% with a proud history.
Sincerely
Shazam Singh"

Look closely at this. Looks like the coaches are out, they want to trade half the team, and they only want to keep Huffers, Peters, and Harding. Very interesting indeed.

He traded Truck to me because he pissed him off and Truck wanted to leave. I let him go because he wouldn't work with Rogers. Both a good and bad move for me.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on July 26, 2012, 02:56:00 PM
There is no way Jen, Hondo or Cory would be approached. It's like Barnsley needing a new manager and approaching Arsene Wenger.

Seattle is a lost cause right now and nothing will change until the next season - why would any of those 3 take that kind of a hit, and why would the 'owner' think that they are viable options?

Crazy talk. Has to be one of the new guys, expansion guys or BD. And the coaches hate BD so he's an outsider.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Post by: Domingo on July 26, 2012, 10:14:48 PM
Oh, I'm pretty sure the outcome was inevitable. Thing is, every decision a gm makes in this game has a consequence; some are good and some are bad. If I'm an owner in the league, looking for a gm to run my expansion team, my first choice is not going to be the gm that made poor choices then threw his arms up when it looked bleak and no hope was in sight.

Bone kept saying that Franchise should bow out gracefully. Had he came out and said that he felt Velez was going to sabotage his attempt at turning things around, and admitted that the situation ultimately fell on his shoulders and resigned. Things may have turned out different.

Or not, but the route taken makes GM Franchise appear undependable.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 27, 2012, 12:04:25 AM
If I had quit then you would be correct but that isn't what happened. A firing happened instead which is a totally different scenario. Also I don't think saying the coach is trying to sabotage the team is bowing out gracefully which is why I didn't do it. In fact that would be the opposite of it. That would make things much, much worse in my opinion.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on July 27, 2012, 12:51:40 AM
Actually, they fired you because of your comments about running the team in Anchorage. Comment sounded like you had already given up and were looking forward to your own future elsewhere, instead of working things out and trying to right the ship in Seattle.

Not that it matters either way, just tossing that out there.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 27, 2012, 01:30:38 AM
Well anyway you look at it I'm getting fired either sooner or later and it happening sooner probably will keep the team from self-destructing and give whomever takes over a chance to make a run at it so it was a good thing in that regard. Too many factors working against me to make it work but I think it will all work out in the end.

I do hope Ty realizes that the trades will not go into effect this season, that the comment about the coaches is vague (meaning they could be keeping the Velez Father and Son), and that Reeps will not be going to Seattle with him in the deal and instead will stay in Roswell.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

He also needs to sit out the rest of the season, but since he won't start to coach Seattle until next season when they move will be the same time he gets there so it should be fine. Also, Ty's letter did say they would like to include McCay and Flips.

If he takes the job he'll most likely have to sit out the rest of the season, so why does he care what the Roswell players think. The ones that he trades over to Seattle should see it as him wanting to have a strong team, and them being his best players. If I was him, I'd jump on this. You keep Seattle's best, take your best, lose the crap players, and hopefully get to bring in new coaches.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I missed the part about McKay and Flips but Flips is in legal trouble so that may be an issue especially considering he creatd Flipsopoly last season and McKay is old so he may retire during his tenure. He should do it but it'll make Roswell tank the rest of this season in my opinion.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I meant in Seattle. Okay sure I'd get to play on a strong team, but they want to do well in the current season, right? I dunno, I know that if something like that happened to me I'd feel kind've screwed over and upset. It depends on their individual loyalty I guess.

I was thinking that it was the team style that had Harding getting better stats. Like James played team ball, i focused on Smith. I had the stronger team, maybe thats why?

Maybe people disagree?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on July 27, 2012, 12:52:54 PM
To be fair they are both rated a C. And if TyTy wants a PG to run the offense, Reeps is a better choice. Harding is a scoring PG.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

An expansion team making the switch to Seattle is a steal. Hopefully TyTy's demands didn't scare the owner off.

I like the idea on the logo, Ty, I just think it could use a different color than red - seeing as you're trying to move away from old Toppers colors (which I think were black, red and white?). I know a few teams out there already use some shades of blue, so maybe like a light, green color of sorts with white and maybe silver? Possibly similar to the old NHL's Hartford Whalers color pattern? Just throwing it out there as a suggestion: http://images.wikia.com/icehockey/images/a/a3/HartfordWhalers.png (http://images.wikia.com/icehockey/images/a/a3/HartfordWhalers.png)

Exactly. The MLS' Sounders also have similar colors - this would be literally a way of embracing the city of Seattle once again after the "Bad Boy" era experiment pretty much alienated a majority of that fanbase.

lol, I think they are all fair conditions.

The Valez one sounds done already
The trade one will be of no issue
The Flips one is good logic (and lets me keep a loyal player in a different role in case injury comes up or something)
The staff one is the only difficult one but Im sure he's approve it
The announcement one is just pure logistics

Yeah, I edit and then un-edited one. Ive been jumping back and forth whether to include it and then Hondo's last post scared me off adding it yet.

Im going to add it as a request should these ones be offered. Mason Griffen  needs a contract extension.


Im sorta partial to the black white and red colors. My old high school team was the Copper Kings (mining town mind you) and based on Nostolgia, i love that logo there lol

Can someone help me make sense of a couple things. My basketball knowledge on the positions is actually no word of a lie supplied to me via wiki. I dont understand why James has positions that read G and F. How do they compare to the rest of the league?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on July 27, 2012, 01:10:55 PM
A contract extension for Griffin is your job, I don't think the owner will do it for you.

G and F means they play both Shooting Guard and Point Guard, or both Small Forward and Power Foward

Post by: T-Bonizzle on July 27, 2012, 01:14:59 PM
He was drafted to play all 5 positions last Season. He entered the league with that ability. Basically, you can play him at any position you desire.

Yeah it means they can play multiple positions.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

It means he has the ability, but he might do better at different positions. Because of his size he creates match-up problems at the smaller positions. I'd play him as a PF/SF if I were you.

I take games seriously, what can I say? It's just that, from an in-game perspective, it seems a bit much for an agent to outright refuse to deal with me for what I, at the time, viewed as a fairly minor falling out that I already apologised for once already. It's not like I insulted him.

-- I'm not taking it personally, it's just an agent doing this has fairly heavy 'gameplay' repercussions in that it makes drafting a minefield and restricts what players I can get. Ultimately I just feel that yes, this is a game about characters and personalities, but this is kind've a heavy penalty contrasted with what I actually did and how I responded to it subsequently.

(On a sidenote my Vraba!hate is kind've tongue in cheek)
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on July 27, 2012, 08:44:29 PM
BD insulted an agent to his face, I basically said "I have other options, so if you don't want Reeps to sit out this season, it's to your advantage to sign this deal", so whilst yes, I did get testy I think this is pretty severe considering I've done all I can to say sorry. If I wanted to be a bitch I could've NOT traded Reeps and then told the press that Goldsmith is a dick or something.

Edit: And get in his face that he went on vacation with Vraba when he was supposed to be playing with me.

"We're done, hope it's worth it to Billy's 'career' when the Wolves are walking out of this season with rings"

- is what I said. That's not an insult. It's ill tempered, but it's not an insult.

When I got asked about it, I said this;

"I will hold up my hands and say that I made a mistake. I was and still am a great admirer of Billy Reeps and Roswell are lucky to have him. I did not make the type of offer that he deserved, and then I said a few things that I shouldn't have done. Pre season is a bit of a stressful time, especially with a lot of protracted negotiations going on, and I let that affect my overall professionalism. I'd like to apologise to the organisation for missing the opportunity, and to Mr. Robert Goldsmith for my behaviour."

- Which is nothing but contrite. And then I tried to make another apology. This locks me out of a chunk of the entire market, that's a REALLY heavy penalty considering my entire response has been wholly apologetic, and no offence, BD, you basically told Sales to get the hell out of your office, which is a lot more severe, and then your apology was backhanded.

I'm a little worried about that, but I wanted to show early on that there would be no crap taken in Pittsburgh. DaKool is being made an example of basically. Could work out, could backfire. If it backfires I just drop him into the expansion draft.

They're under contractual obligation to play. He can't make me trade them.

Seriously if he starts getting cute I'm calling in the lawyers. What's he going to say? That he's bitter over me getting mad? Fuck that, he's just straight-up being a cunt by not accepting three apologies in a row.

If he's a dick to me, I'll be a dick to him, simple as. I said sorry to him, and he effectively spat in my face.

I dunno, I might leave it till the end of the season and then offer another apology, but if he decides to continue on this tack then it's a war.

Well I don't see it as a bullet dodged. I got to the bulk of the problem, are you still pissed about our previous conversation or not? I never said I would adjust the lineup in that question. I just wanted to get to the root of the problem and then fix it. Either Bamba still hated it, I again apologize and try to make him happy. Or, he warms up to it and I try to make it work under his conditions. The only person who will probably hate me on this is Majorca and I will attempt to speak with him before the week closes. I have a guy producing triple doubles on the bench! Hello?! You wouldn't want him starting? lol

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on July 27, 2012, 10:44:06 PM
I think we're only sending 1 player to the expansion draft, as there are 14 teams now. A couple of teams should send two (like expansion teams) but with 14 teams we should only be required to send one.

Sending two would be disastrous for me, Dorling, and Cory...

Dear GM TyTy
We are currently researching opportunities to fill the vacant spot here in Hollywood for next season. We have made an offer to another GM being up front as we can with you, but have had no response. Coach Ted MacKay being a first rate coach has been in touch with us and has talked about the opportunity of himself, yourself and Mike Flips coming to work as our GM and Coaching Staff for next season.
We would love to have you!
Unfortunately our previous GM left us in quite the pickle with players going forward. We would like to offer the following trades future dealed if you indeed would sit out the season and come to us next season.
REEPS - STREET
RIVERS â€" DANIELS
SMITH â€" BOLDEER
Naturally this would give us a strong looking franchise to build on next season
Sincerely

Storyline wise it would create two automatic storyline feuds and would set up the Western Conference to have playoff contention warfare going on full blast between the three teams involved.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on July 28, 2012, 03:13:02 PM
It pretty much set

next season it the rebirth of two of the original fbl teams ... Hollywood cusp of greatness before I took it and wrap it around a tree

Seattle who was the first great dynasty of the league and was on downward spiral before James grab the controls an  drove it head first in the ground.

Honest , I see Seattle actually far better next season because Dom has little room to move this off season... Hollywood is a season away, there going to have a good season 9 , but season 10 when they do real damage  because they can get a bench that there going to need if there going to want to make a deep run in the playoffs
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 28, 2012, 03:16:14 PM
I actually think Hollywood will do better than Seattle next season. Seattle will be a playoff contender season 10. I see a lot more potential in Hollywood especially after that trade.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on July 28, 2012, 03:45:12 PM
Reason I see Seattle   doing better this year, is because they have a few draft picks to play with this off-season .  He can drop some dead weight and replace them with no problem.  Hollywood going to be tougher this off-season because  I left them with no picks this off-season. They might have to work little bit hard to get backups ... They could play with season 10 picks , but I learn the hard way,  the draft picks are gold and so not be taken lightly
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 28, 2012, 03:48:55 PM
Didn't realize Hollywood has no draft picks next season. However getting Blair Smith, Sean Rivers, and Billy Reeps should get them through the season without the draft picks being an issue. More depth.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on July 28, 2012, 03:52:23 PM
funny missed because of all this movement is one of Hondo's rare in game mistakes ... actually pissing off his head coach.  I know he got Gogo to help pick up the slack , but after working so hard to keep the coach for one more year .  Making him mad during the middle of the season is just strange and might be the mistake the derails the three-peat

TyTy if you need a draft pick for Hollywood, we may still be able to work something out.

I think James in Roswell will be good. If all ya'll draft well, you might be able to contend for the 4th playoff spot next year.

That's 3 West teams without GMs this year. Does this create an opening for Montana to run wild and get that 4th playoff spot?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 28, 2012, 04:05:30 PM
Yeah Ty will need picks. I had no clue about Hollywood not having any.

Already looked over the Roswell roster post trade and know what holes need to be filled. Should be an easy fix.

Montana could easily make the playoffs at this rate.

Honestly in retrospect I would've paid for the Vraba thing if I'd understood the budget better. At the time I thought it was purely PR and team stuff vs the sort've general purposes budget that it actually is.

With Nest it was just a case of getting told "I can get him for 1.2", him coming in at 2 and then basically turning me down when I negotiated, so yeah.

I think you will be in good shape if you draft someone who can play both sides of the court that will compliment Reed, Lugasoon, and Massimo. You get one more guy who can score and you can do some major damage.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on July 28, 2012, 10:02:46 PM
I'm hoping the teams without GMs will suffer some sort of penalty so they don't take wins from the GMs actually playing. Especially in the West, Montana should get that 4th playoff spot because Jag is still playing this season. Seattle, Hollywood, and Roswell can just phone it in for the rest of the season as far as I'm concerned.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on July 28, 2012, 10:38:36 PM
They probably will. Best chance to make the playoffs is Roswell out of that bunch but with the lowered morale from Ty bolting from the team I think Montana will sneak in by a game over them.

How do contact extensions work in terms of salary cap and starting date?

As in, if I have somebody expiring at the end of this season, do I have to take into account this season's salary cap, or does the contract not start until the end of the current deal?

I ask because it becomes apparent that people are picking to leave/considering themselves undervalued and I'd like to tie off a couple of deals, but I don't have the cap to do it if the deals start this season. So yeah, can we get some more information on how that works so I know what I can and can't do and don't waste time?

If you have a player in the last year of his contract and say for example...he was on

1 million (1)

and you wanted him for 2 more seasons on top of this and he wants 3 million contract becomes

3 million (3)

any contract is instant unless your player holds out.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on July 29, 2012, 07:24:51 PM
Ok folks here are a couple of things:

Cause of the movements of GMs although their teams will be autoskipped I am allowing negoiations with players and coaches to appear in their threads so Mississippi, Roswell, Seattle and Anchorage. These can be extending current contracts or enquiring speaking to coaches. Anything though that is done which isn't part of the current team will be future dealed ie if you sign a coach for next season or a free agent.

Their teams as stated will be simmed for Season 8

The expansion draft will mean the protection of up to six players as normal. You must protect anyone involved in a future trade so for example at this stage Montana must protect Kevin Moose as one of their six. To compensate this for teams there are a few teams with players entering the last year of their contracts. These so called 'free agents for season 9' can begin discussions with their current team or a team looking to get their services for next season. Again remember you are allowed up to six protections, you don't have to use all six and if a player chooses to sign via free agency with another ball club...you dont have to protect them. Any deals with another club outside their own must appear in the future deals thread.

I am scrapping the PR budget for promoting players for awards. Experiment failed in that regard. I will pick the nominees this season, you guys can vote on them. I will be basing it on stats and contribution to team etc..

I also have kept zero track of your deals involving scouting reports. This was not an official part of the FBL game and something you guys went for. Probably a few folks have missed out on this unless they can make a claim.

A coin flip has seen Anchorage secure the first pick in the Season 9 FBL draft and Mississippi are second. The Steamers will have first pick in the expansion draft therefore.

Any team not making the playoffs will go into the lottery to make up the other picks. Based on Wins and Losses will determine how many 'balls you get' in the lottery. The set order of the rest will be determined on standings. Basically same as last year.

Mike Flips has been signed as an Assistant Coach for Hollywood next season and Ted Mackay has been signed as a Headcoach. Their contracts will be negoiated by TyTy as their new GM.

Roswell has traded their 2nd round draft pick in Season 9 to Seattle for Moses Franks as part of the reason to sign GM Franchise. Franks will be a player/assistant coach with the Aliens next season. This was done to bring more coaches into the game as well as 'in character' a supporter of GM Franchise on the Aliens decided by their board in the absence of a GM making decisions. The head coaching job is still open.

Coaches work differently to players. They can quit and walk out on contracts. As stated no coach can start coaching a new team half way through a season or whatever. So in the case of PR and TEX neither Black nor Chart can suddenly coach another team in Season 8. However, both can negoiate Season 9 deals for any team. Furthermore if a team had an interest in a coach currently with an organisation say for example...Horace Hall of Boston...they can negoiate with Hall for Season 9, but he will continue in his coaching capacity at Boston.

Manuel Velez, Escobar Velez, Bert Miller, Moe Christopher have all left their teams by 'mutual consent' and are free agent coaches for next season. Frank Devine is finishing the season in Spain, but can be hired for next season.

The two Spanish teams will be trying to negoiate deals for your players. These are what I call 'dead wood salary cap moves'. The negoiation will take place between yourself and their agent. You will receive nothing in return, but its a chance to get a player off your books as they will play in Spain for a season before anyone else can sign them as a free agent. I am far too nice!

I think thats it. Onwards and upwards. Should add a bit of spice to the game and give folks something to do. Remember the importance of the future deals thread and logging stuff.

Only protecting 6? We'll be releasing way too many players into the expansion draft. With 14 teams, that's up to 28 players they get to select from. It only hurts the existing teams...as someone of us are being forced to release an extra player we don't need to.

The head coach you're replacing next season, by kicking him off the team.

He tried to make a call and the PR lady asked if he really wanted to do that.  Then he asked to speak to him specifically.  I don't think he realizes he is my coach for now.

Nope you aint got to protect them mate. Expansion draft is more geared to players on contracts I guess. Chance to filter out the shit for you guys. If a player is traded thats different cause you are getting something back for that.

What if we have players retire? Like in my case we have Faarooq and Closeness retiring. Would I have to send two more players to the expansion draft or just those two?

Exactly.  And Dorling did me a favour anyway, I was going to leave McDoe unprotected and let his contract run out, so no complaints there

I figured I wasn't majorly stepping on your toes in that regard Blade. McDoe could be a good fit for me though.

Unless the deal is secretive or something, I don't see why you can't look at the reports too (if not decide who to scout yourself)

I got a deal to show Hondo two of mine, but I can pick whoever I want to scout. He just gets to see a couple.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Didn't think about that. It was an agreement for 3 scouting reports. I'm sure we can make it work out somehow.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on July 30, 2012, 01:02:26 PM
Not to get all nit-picky, but what I said was "I'm going to scout whoever, you can pick two out of those that you want". (paraphrasing but that's the gist of it) I remember because I was specifically hostile to the idea of someone else picking for me.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on July 30, 2012, 01:09:45 PM
Well If I can do that with Jen (pick 2 of her reports) and then with Dom (pick 3 of my own reports and share) that could work?

Seems like high risk low reward.

Honestly, Sparky is a top 5 PG, Bennet/Stimmar/Peters all have pretty good contracts and are legit.

Dont see what I could possibly gain by swapping them for this draft class.

Again, need to do my scouting....I should have around 7-8 scouting reports tho come draft time, with the 5 that I have from other teams plus my own PR budget (4.5 mill extra after Chart left)

3. There is no missing piece. We have everything we need to win already here.

4. Yes. I knew they would work together the moment I signed Chris here.

5. We take on the world champs and an expansion team from out west. I think we can win both games and continue our path to the playoffs. We can do this as a team. Now if you'll excuse me we need to lock in before my coach goes on a homicide spree.

Me too. I'm pumped up about being in Roswell despite how in shambles the team is.

Yeah I think we need to move on and maybe have a storyline where Fisk is on vacation with Mason Griffin since they've made up after last season...or some sort of a vacation scenario to explain everything.

We should be given a chance to counter offer, as well. Ultimately, it's random whether or not they stay or go but the home team should at least be given the right to make an effort.

Indeed. The NHL has this with Restricted Free Agents where they get 7 days to match the offer. But yeah, in this game's case, a 3 day period to match the offer/counter would be a good option to have.

Well I cant dick around with the formulas to trade during the season. Honestly, let's not get THAT serious. Also in regards to players contracts, everyone knows were they are at the beginning of the seasons in terms of who has one year to run on it. You got the preseason to negoiate, not really that hard folks.

Again, this game doesnt have to be too complex!

The market drove up his price. He started somewhere around $4m, I believe. You were best served taking a big man in the draft, IMO, especially with the number of bigs available in the top-10 this year.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on August 02, 2012, 11:17:14 AM
Rebel, I was wondering how you figured you'd have a top 3 pick? 1st and 2nd are going to go to Mississippi and Anchorage. Your team is doing okay, compared to the way the 3 teams under auto-pilot are going to end up by the end of the season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: J-Reb on August 02, 2012, 11:26:04 AM
That was my thought before I started winning and teams started tanking. Before the GM swap, I was headed to a 1-2 win season. I'm probably going to end up falling to the middle of the first round.

Can't. Need to draft a SG. Plus Cage Daniels will only have one year left on his contract next season and I need the C position covered so I can get a back up SG/SF in next season's draft with my one pick. It was either him or Weed and he is the better option of the two in my opinion. Got a gameplan though, think I can turn him around.

I was hoping I worded it in a way that would make it work, but it looks like I'm going to have to try and convince Fan to come off the bench from time to time. I plan on trying it out this week and I'm kind of hoping Class has a lackluster game in the starting spot. That way I can keep him in that 6th man spot, and not have to deal with this anymore.

That is, if I fired Farthering, he'd still be owed 2.4 million. Would that be immediately removed from my PR, or would two chunks of 1.2 be removed from my PR for seasons 10 and 11? I'm assuming the former.

I wouldn't take it so personally. We know by now that in this game you get one chance to handle things right. And if you don't, you don't. I forgot to send Cross to therapy, so he got violent again. In the real world it's a problem that can be fixed, but this is a game so we need to take liberties. It keeps everything exciting though.

I'd have thought it was relatively obvious that anything future dealed couldnt be changed. The player has signed an agreement. The only person that can walk out on an agreement is a coach or assistant coach. I have mentioned this. Then again I also thought it was obvious that the new GMs couldnt sit there discussing the price of tea in China with their players for next season lol.

Wow, Vraba's being what the Croatians would call a massive "govno jedno."

Seriously, that's a minuscule thing he's flipping out over.

Two factors are always going to make this.

1. The personality of the player will always determine if they can be reasoned with. Someone like a Vraba as Jen knows...although a dynamite player cannot be reasoned with much and obviously has a chip on his shoulder.

2. How much attention you pay to a player and help them. IE in Cory's case he was about 2 weeks late to the party with Hans Stimar who was a guy who defended him to the boo boys of Texas. Stimar was a placid character, but it was mentioned a few times before Cory reacted and then Cory's reaction was sort of crap in offering to pay PR money to Hans to imply he wasn't a Nazi basically. Line has to be drawn somewhere!

3. There will always be players like say a Sampson, Fields, Cross who I have made as baggage players. Easily influenced and carry baggage. If you can address it correctly then you wouldnt have a problem. Great example has been Dorling's response to Jordan Brandon in Virginia.

I completely recognize that the drama is way over the top and sometimes very stupid or it seems guys flip out for small reasons. That of course is the FBL element to it, if this didn't happen it would be a boring game trust me. You need a little spice to make it interesting so a broken toe nail, might be a big deal to a guy. All these guys have egos dont get me wrong, some are just big headed, some are fucking nut jobs, but its about you guys actually running a team or in some cases an asylum.

Things like drafting the right players, managing a simplistic budget, dealing with agents, coaches and morale. A very basic job of running something like a team or a game.

I hope everyone continues to enjoy this hybrid sports/rpg game.

Vraba scores a lot of points but I have 3 shooting guards in my team, not to mention a small forward that has been getting 15 points from the bench the last few weeks, so if he wants to play from the bench he can. Brandon adds a lot more to my team in terms of steals, rebounds and assists. In Vraba’s 50 point game he had 0 in every other stat line. It might shore up my defence a bit and mean less for both myself and my opponents in my matches but I won’t be playing him if he acts like that!

Well figured if I didnt weed out all the guys who were still pissed from the George Nest thing, or the guys who are pissed about the guys that have LEFT from the George nest thing, now is the time.

If im going to lose big players, now I can rebuild with all the draft picks, as oppose to having a guy be a ticking time bomb and wanting to leave a season or two away when I don't have the appropriate picks to replace him. I think everyone will stay but Keys.....and I have a small fear about Kamill, but I dont think he'll leave...we'll have to wait and see I guess.

This is a good draft to have to rebuild on. It's a very deep one.

Cory you build around what's left and you got 3 or 4 players who'll respect you tremendously, especially if you don't black ball your assistant coach like Justin did.

Chris just lost the respect of his coach, and probably any chance he had of sneaking into the playoffs.

Sometimes for the good of the team you gotta play hardball with the trouble makers. I think had I not fired Cross, it would have caused more problems in the long run.

I've been biting my tongue on saying it for a while now because y'know, there's that history between me and Vraba and I didn't want to seem bitter, but I have been looking at his numbers and observing, well... what has been there other than scoring? He's had MONSTER games, it's true, but who have those been against? For the majority of the time, weak sides. Don't get me wrong he's good, but he gets pure points and that's it.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Chris Shields on August 06, 2012, 02:03:39 PM
I have a good reason for not wanting to just send DaKool home right away. Mutu is at his best when he can get a few minutes rest in the game, and if I send Fox home then he doesn't get that. It forces him to play the entire game, and that could end up hurting his play or worse get him injured. No one else can play the SG position. So while DaKool may be a head case and an asshole, I have to have him on the bench.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on August 06, 2012, 02:05:21 PM
The sim rests players. It means that sometimes during the game you'll have two PGs instead of an SG on the court. I don't have a back-up PG right now, so sometime the players on the court make it weird. But it works out.

Chris, keep in mind your strategy is team ball and rotational minutes. The advantage to that is that players are rotated in and out constantly.

As you may have noticed, the Aces are having fatigue problems, but that's because they focus on mostly starters. So in team ball your starters are probably playing 40 minutes a game, but the Aces are probably playing 55 minutes a game.

For that, you just gotta ask the doctor. He'll keep you up to date on everyone's fitness.

I'm at work so it's difficult to check many threads by Vraba has a new contract? Or is he still on the one? An that's why I'm inquiring, he plays tremendously week against weak teams and playes above average against good teams, so he better not want a 7-8 million contract when IMO he's worth around 5
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I'm not sure where all this 'Vraba only plays well against weak teams' talk comes from.

He was high scorer of the game against Texas, he got 50 against second placed Boise, he was second high scorer of the game against Wyoming, he got 40 against Puerto Rico, 37 against the Bells, 25 against the Aces (second behind Eddie Lights).

It depends on what strategy you play but in the 'big' games he is top or second top scorer. His other games this year have seen him regularly hit 35-40. He has 160 points in the last two weeks, which is probably the same as the Toppers.

Show me someone that scores more, apart from Eddie Lights.

He's by far my leading point scorer and I'm top of the league scoring good points every game.

To those who did offer me trades (that'd be Jen and Cory), discussions will occur once this week is past us. Gotta look at scouting reports and the like along with talking with coach and etc. But yeah, not ignoring it by any means, just need some time. XD

True about Umjumbo but you left me with no SF and no SG going into next season. He would've had to go regardless just so I could fill those open positions.

The General News stuff and the relative ease with which I convinced Nigel to trim Fletcher's contract by over 4m suggests to me that he's finally ready to work towards being a champion and not just the captain of a team. I think he'll be great.

Thing with Scotty though is that he looks desperate for a ring - I think he's at the point he might be willing to take a backseat to an extent on captaincy and all else to help do things. If he doesn't...he's not going to have a great time in Virginia. Dorling don't take no shit, yo. >_>

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on August 09, 2012, 10:06:51 AM
TBH its an either way scenario. The Spanish team are after him so you could either allow him to go with a chat with an agent or you could just release him from the deal.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Arkia Fisk on August 09, 2012, 10:10:42 AM
Well the reason I'm asking is to make sure I don't have to protect him under any weird circumstance if he were to be 'traded' there or something. The expansion concept scares me now since last season lol
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on August 09, 2012, 10:22:15 AM
Ah sorry, I missed your point there Arkia.

If you make a deal with a Spanish club it acts in the same way as a trade so yes he would be required to be protected in terms of a trade.

Positives in making the trade:

+ Gives players what they want
+ Allows means of communication between Spanish clubs

Negatives:

- Requires player to be protected

In the case of Sonny remember he is keen to join the team, his case is slightly different from others because his contract is due to expire so he would become a free agent and not enter the expansion draft.

Expansion draft basically is a chance for established teams with players over X amount of years of their contract they dont want to off load. Anyone with an expiring contract goes to the free agent pool and not the draft.

If this helps people get this better after the season ends:

- Any free agents will enter the free agent pool if a contract isnt agreed
- You will then submit up to 6 protects for exsisting teams
- Those not protected will enter the expansion draft
- BD and Chris will then draft these players and look to agree contracts with the option of passing any time
- Anyone not drafted in the expansion draft will then become a free agent
- Normal draft will then commence

I have asked Chris and Dorling to finalize some jerseys for us. Also a few teams will also be getting retired jerseys. Next season you will have the option for a fee to retire a players number.

Really like this. Great addition!

I think I'll try my hand at Hondo's Hayseeds in a similar format to the one home jersey he made for them a few pages back and I think, besides that, Dorling has got the remainder covered. =)

Quote from: Trumpers on August 09, 2012, 10:22:15 AM
Ah sorry, I missed your point there Arkia.

If you make a deal with a Spanish club it acts in the same way as a trade so yes he would be required to be protected in terms of a trade.

Positives in making the trade:

+ Gives players what they want
+ Allows means of communication between Spanish clubs

Negatives:

- Requires player to be protected

In the case of Sonny remember he is keen to join the team, his case is slightly different from others because his contract is due to expire so he would become a free agent and not enter the expansion draft.

Expansion draft basically is a chance for established teams with players over X amount of years of their contract they dont want to off load. Anyone with an expiring contract goes to the free agent pool and not the draft.

If this helps people get this better after the season ends:

- Any free agents will enter the free agent pool if a contract isnt agreed
- You will then submit up to 6 protects for exsisting teams
- Those not protected will enter the expansion draft
- BD and Chris will then draft these players and look to agree contracts with the option of passing any time
- Anyone not drafted in the expansion draft will then become a free agent
- Normal draft will then commence

Question...again.

In the case of trade with Spain team if I do trade with Sonny that does mean I'm getting someone back right? Do I get to choose from a roster right then and there? I understand the positives and negatives as you posted earlier, I just want to know in Sonny's case do I get someone back this first time around?

It's what I went for with it along with keeping it simple. Due to the jersey design on owayo saying it was "Boston," I was thinking of using it for the Bells instead but T-Bone's jersey basically was much better than my idea for it. But I still want to use the design, so that was a way of doing that. XD

If we can both games this week, we'll go in with a 6 game winning streak. The team has gotten hot at the right point in the season.

Damn skippy. One thing is for sure, the Blades were the absolute best of the expansion teams. Looking at either 12 and 6, 11 and 5 or 10 and 8. No matter what, I think that's more wins than Tampa Bay and Roswell combined.

Have to agree with that although Roswell is more like half an expansion team considering the GM left halfway through the season. They were playoff contenders before Ty jumped ship.

True, and I in now way was trying to say anything negative about the other GM's. It's just the way the game shook out. I could have easily ended up with a 2 and 16 team, and Rebel or TY could have had their team go 14 and 4. Hell, my team could fall flat on their face next season. That's part of what makes this fun.

All the GM changes in the West helped kill the division this year.  Roswell, Hollywood and Seattle all becoming GMless kind of sealed the fate for the four play off teams.

Next season should be different though.

The Aces with a 50% new team.  The Glaciers looking to make a mark.  Roswell could potentially make a massive jump.  Boise will be stronger.  Montana can make a mark in the draft if they draft big.  Wyoming may struggle if Jen keeps upsetting the balance (lol) and Hollywood and Seattle under new management.

its going to be much closer next year i predict.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on August 09, 2012, 06:09:21 PM

As far as the Class thing paralleling with Ronko, I don't know that we'd see the same situation. I think a lot of that stuff has to do with player attitudes. Ronko's kind of a douche, and Class is more of a character guy. I'd be surprised  if Bernie gets mad.

Just take my deal. It's the best deal for both of us, and as I said earlier, do you really want someone in your conference getting the #3 pick in the draft. Cooper is your type of player, he put up great numbers for me this season, and he'd be a good team captain as well. He may be controversial, but he's not a bad player or leader.

Class is bound to improve after this season, and while one of them is an A player, what's the other one. Taking a great player and a bad player isn't really better than taking a good player. One deal, yes you've got a great player, but you're also stuck with a bad player. The other deal, you just get a good player.

Post by: Ty on August 12, 2012, 08:01:14 PM

I speaken first to team gathered here...then you speaken...then we lock in. Team...many of you are like a distant cousin to Vlad...a cousin Vlad is not concerned of personal problem nor marriage guidance. But family all same. Family who was given plot of land on which to grow farm, but soon realize that selling female cousin to slave sex trade much more profitable. Through the want of money...and fame...and power...it bring bond of distant cousin together so they laugh and drink vodkas together...and plot one another death secretly. Before we plot death...let us win Championship and continue to sell attractive cousin into sex trade. I hand microphone to GM Blade...head of our family.




lol too funny


Why do you think he ditched me?

LMFAO at Bogolov's speech.

Quote from: Chris Shields on August 12, 2012, 07:58:15 PM
Class is bound to improve after this season, and while one of them is an A player, what's the other one. Taking a great player and a bad player isn't really better than taking a good player. One deal, yes you've got a great player, but you're also stuck with a bad player. The other deal, you just get a good player.

Class is bound to improve, but you're not offering Class. :P. Not really sure what you're saying tbh.

I'm offering Stevens + a late second round rookie or a somewhat banged up star and a good young player. That's not getting lumbered at all.

Some late second round guys have played great this season, just saying...

Carl Cooper is your type of player. He's a proven talent, and he's a strong leader. You end up with a damn good player and a top 10 pick in the draft as well. Not to mention, you keep someone in your conference from getting the top 3 pick. If you're going to trade that pick away, doesn't it make sense to trade it outside of your conference, and still have a top 10 pick. Not to mention, we've been discussing this deal for quite some time. Jen came late to the party on this.  I would dare say that we had a gentleman's agreement.

I kinda already said most of what I wanted to say about this deal behind closed doors, cause, y'know, I don't think deals are for the discussion of everyone.

Buuuut since it's out here, one thing I will say... Trading to somebody in the same conference is a null argument. He's also strengthening at the expense of somebody in the same conference. That cuts both ways. Besides, in the end you have to do better than every team to win.

Otherwise... I honestly don't think it's really fair to try and dissect the vagaries of another person's deal. It's your decision in the end, James. All the offers have their pros and their cons. I've laid those out where this type of discussion belongs which is, again, behind closed doors.

QuoteJen came late to the party on this.  I would dare say that we had a gentleman's agreement.

Not sure what you're implying... kind've unfair to insinuate I'm gatecrashing when I've said numerous times this was going to get tabled to basically anyone who wound up with #3, but I'm not psychic so hence didn't know who was gonna have it...

It all depends on who you make the mistake with. I didn't make a single mistake season 7 and got my expansion team to within a game of the final.

This season I made one tiny little mistake - if it was with Danberry he would probably have shrugged it off but it was with Vraba and therefore killed my momentum.

Depends on the personal priorities of the player, their personality, and the scale/type of fuck up. I don't think that there as many divas as people are suggesting.

Nope you failed to negoiate this in time and he left as a free agent before the season happened so no progress there, but you didnt lose something and it also means now you have still your full six protections.

Once he is done and the Expansion draft is underway I can start moving the excel cells around better. So if you see him push him to get it confirmed and we can start the expansion draft.

Its introduced as a season 9 thing. A few jerseys have already been retired to add authenticity to the game which will be revealed once I can lock in some lineups for Season 9 and you get your start of season info.

From now on no player will wear number 1 (GMs number) or 99 (coaches number)

This deal was perfect for me. Get Cooper and Finch back together plus gives me the extra SF I need. I can train Massimo to be an SG/SF and my team is covered. Almost had to keep the pick. Going to send Street to rehab and worried that he will get relapse or something. If it backfires I need coverage.

They seem to be a lot more responsive when you present them with a concrete idea. Better input this way, helps with making a decision where all parties get a proper result rather than GM fleecing Coach in some way or Coach seeming to be in more control of the team than the GM itself.

Could be one of those things where he tries to make a name for himself to be within one solid franchise but for all we know, it could just as easily backfire. Because apparently, karma just hates Jen sometimes when it comes to some of these players. <_<

His attitude will need a bit of a facelift, though I think moving team again/not being captain will take some of the wind out of his sails. Kind've a matter of "Look Griffin, we know you're good, but you're not the best thing since sliced bread"

Moving to a more team based play will help that as well, I think. But yeah, I'm going to try and be more careful with my general interactions this season.

The market for aging players is pretty low at the moment, regardless of how good they are. She wasn't gonna get much for him, no more than a 2nd round player probably. So it's almost like she's trading Velez for Griffin with Stevens thrown in as sweetener.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on August 14, 2012, 03:25:48 PM
I think Stevens is much better than he's given credit for but that's just how I look at it. Now that I think of it it also frees up $4 mil in extra cap space for Jen which is good for her in the long run.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on August 14, 2012, 03:30:10 PM
It is, which was why I was reluctant to do the deal earlier, but, well, fact is that Chico wasn't interested and I've been encouraged to move Larry. I still have the draft picks to complete my team so it isn't such a big deal. The only big gap in my team is a PF, and I don't think that will be too hard to get.

Plus I've wanted Mason since he entered the FBL (his scout report was awesome). I reckon he'll hit the A grades by the time he passes 26, if he can get a consistent berth in a team.

Stevens isn't bad let's be honest, he scores major points and he's not A- grade for nothing. He's going on 28 though, as Hondo points out, and whilst that's never 'past it', it's getting older for a player who only has one dimension to his game.

Also I've had four or five hints that he isn't a very good captain, and I don't think I could demote him without pissing him off. Best to hit the reset button.

Actually both teams got good parts of that deal. Cory got a good player cheap and Rebel got a ton from it. Good deal by you both.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on August 15, 2012, 01:26:01 AM
Really it was:

A) Take either Shakers Lee or Lincoln Frazier for our starting C, both arent ready to start
B) Gun is two things I need. A) very cap friendly, and B) a legit starting threat
C) Gun is better than anyone i'd pick up at 6th overall. I dont have enough room to sign my second round pick, and next season I'll only have 1-3 million in cap space left...hardly enough to sign a 1st round pick.

So Tampa gets some ammo to help them next season and I get what I need to win now. Plus Gun has some experience that can help my young team....he was practically Tampas coach last season.

I have five players. NO draft picks for me, had five different trades fall through last second, denied on every signing. I lost a starter because of a slipup. I have tons of cap space but I can't use any. This is so bloody frustration. On top of that, I'm out of town on my phone
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on August 16, 2012, 02:35:04 AM
Hey could be worse, I've lost the biggest players for some of the most frustrating things.

Litterally lost JJ Rogers, OJ McLoo, Kamill Bennett, and Hans Stimar (all A rated players, Stimar a B) because I simply didn't realize that Assitant coaching came out of PR budget and not cap space.

So your situation could be worse but then
Look at the future a season after destruction I think I may have the best team in the league

My team is a disaster just waiting to happen. My owner wants a happy go lucky, peaceful team and I've got the Ballers, Controversial Carl, Deante Weed, Pete Trafford, and Coach Flips all on the same team. It's going to be chaos just trying to keep the peace but it's the kind of challenge that I want. However my tenure in Seattle was a disaster from start to finish. I needed to get out of Seattle and Roswell is a really good fit so it all worked out. Now my real challenge is going to be keeping the players out of trouble and getting them to gel as a team at the same time.

Post by: Strike on August 16, 2012, 02:45:22 AM
Don was meant to be nothing more but a desperation scenario in case I couldn't close in on a PG...well, thankfully, still 11 mil or so of cap space left, so when I get to dumping him, it won't horribly cost me.

Besides that, decent team...PG situation will be my Achilles' heel but it could be worse.

Because some people went mental in the FA signings and still had draft picks this has made the teams slightly lobsided. I am going to introduce a few Spanish players for those who have made contact with the teams and need roster members, but it also might be worth thinking about just allowing these players to go into free agency who you've all drafted and have no use for.

Or...I offer as a sweetner for those overstocked. The chance to swap one player in and the other player to go to Free Agency. That being only for those who have too many players.

My team is going to have amazing chemistry but the drawback is all of the PR headache players but they all want to play together so it may translate to on the court chemistry. The news feed is going to be filled with Aliens stories though unless I get the players under control quick.

Sans point guard position, I'm excited for the rest of my team. Definitely going to try to make a move on that, at least to get the trainwreck out the way - at the same time, I'm just hoping the guys haven't grown attached to him and I suddenly have a situation like Texas where the chemistry just goes to shayte without we even starting a game. XD

Quite pleased with how that panned out actually... wasn't expecting such a positive approval.

Nice to see Abrax has kept the 'D+ -> C' trend alive with my Greeks. Hopefully Baal makes it a hat trick! lol

Edit: Yianni's a C+ now. :( . So sad I didn't move Johnson at the beginning of last season. Might've have the cap to re-sign him them.

Damn, the league is going trade crazy. Those of us that have put a team together and kept it are just sitting back watching all of the team chemistry built during our opponents' preseasons slowly draining away (or disappearing in large chunks).

Some of these trades seem to be a bit frivolous from the outside looking in. I read all of the team threads and some of the trades that have happened have come out of absolutely nowhere.

BREAKING NEWS...MACKAY NOT OKAY

Ted MacKay alongside Assistant Coach Nick Shaw walked out on the Hollywood Stars last night as he found yet again maverick GM TyTy had traded away players...nulifying any work in preseason.

“Its very disappointing to see that someone will take all your hard work and then throw it down the toilet. He was desperate I came to Roswell when I did, I then followed him here under the guise we had a team, he has swapped that team twice in a matter of weeks...for no reason. Nick and I discussed whether we wanted to be part of a franchise again in so much turmoil and the answer was no.”

The return to the Stars of Jimmy Street alongside FBL bad boy Dakool Fox seems to have been the final nail in MacKay's coaching coffin with Hollywood.

I really don't get it. Some of trades have been necessary, like Bone shipping out Richards after he pissed him off, but some are insane. The last trade Ty did, bringing Street, Fox and Weed to Hollywood?! Two PR nightmares and a player that has been suspended by his own team?

It just seems like some teams have no strategy in place. Or, if they had a strategy for the draft and preseason they've now completely abandoned it. There is pretty much zero benefit in doing trades after preseason - this is the first season we've done it after getting the PDFs isn't it?

It's insane what's going on at the moment. It certainly makes it interesting but I'm not sure at all on some of the strategies being enacted right now.

But as we should have learnt by now, consistency is a key.

Anything you did in pre season training was pointless.  All the 'un needed' trades should have been going on while the draft was in place, and as a learning curve, I got all my renewed contracts sewn up and in place before the lock in.

Its certainly crazy, but anyone that has done major changes will more than likely do it again post season and you lose all the momentum and stability you have got.

Wow, didn't expect to see McKay walk out. Only reason I did the trade was to keep the PR headaches to a minimum this season and to alleviate some cap room. Plus with Truck, Rivers, and Finch all playing together all last season with Flips figured the chemistry issue would be a minimum. I also think that stability was gained by doing the move considering all Street cared about was money and Fox only cares about partying. Plus Truck is much more reliable overall than Weed. Only guy left I need to get rid of is Trafford and I'm set. Thinking about trading him overseas. Considering I don't have any contact overseas it would be a good move and save me cap space. Other than that I like the team and it'll be much better off without the headaches than with them.

Looks like I'll be trading more soon. I'm confused though about Richards. I haven't even talked to him yet n he doesn't like how he's being treated in Boise. But either way he'll be on the trading block soon, hopefully Chris Jones won't trip n join him. I'm done with people thinking they can drop the team, I'll get value out of em before lose em to free agency.

Ah, but in parody-land FBL, Michael Jordan doesn't exist!

You can use it if you like - I'll remember it for future favours though!

All of my PR has gone pretty well up to now, hopefully this season will be a repeat. My suggestion? If a player has a great name that can be used, don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

Also, players want to feel special with their PR, not 'like' another player. It's very dangerous to do PR which compares them to others or recycles ideas IMO.

Good example of that would be last season for me, when GoGo suggested Rattle Lee for the assistant coach's job. I replied something to the effect of, 'Makes sense, since you're the FBL's version of Isaiah and Magic'. He didn't know who the two were, and thought they were dancers.

but i have a feeling, anywhere else that he trades to will have the same problems with him where hw wont sign a contract, and i still sign him as a free agent for next season

He still has three years on his contract, he won't be a free agent for quite a while. I thought he wouldn't sign with Arkia cause he was pissed at how that specific trade went down.

I understand. I more do it because I find it easier to discuss the particulars of a trade via the PM system. It's not that I'm trying to keep it in secrecy, I just find it a better way of contacting somebody and in particular negotiating a deal when a number of counter offers go through.

And to keep track of everything. I'd be lost purely in the trade thread.

Exactly. I got plenty of cap room to spare and signed Joey and Kris rather cheap to boot, which does give Arkia some room to work with as well.

To clarify he hasnt got an attitude problem, you treated him like shit and bad mouthed him to the press and then expected him to be your buddy afterwards lol.

He left Boston like the other guys because Bone was sucked into a trap of putting a load of cash Toom's way when really Richards was a massive key if not THE key of why his team got to the finals.

He doesn't want to play for Boise because Boise cannot afford a salary increase for him this season. Arika blew her budget on Shack and Flan...to the extent she cannot even agree Chris Jones.

Aces would be a natural choice for any player. They have cap room and are the reigning Champions. Blade doesnt do a lot of stupid trades and move players for the sake of it. He adds and subtracts players when he needs to and has built a reputation "in the players minds" as a good GM to work for.

There isnt a lot of conspiracy to this at all. Richards was pulled into a long term shit contract...he has proven to be a player in this league and exactly like team mate Rich Deane did. Wants to be rewarded.

It just shows how amazing a job Blade has done since the beginning of this game, really...guys WANT to play for Las Vegas because they know they're going to get used to their full potential. Only other team I can think of that comes close is the Hayseeds and they're already set and ready to go.

This is also my point as well. I have notes on a lot of the players as I think I have mentioned before (no none of you can have ANY! LOL). I also evaluate your decisions as GMs in terms of signings, how you speak to players and also financial control. In the world of FBL, these will be measured by coaches, players and agents on how they react to you. For example if you make a huge gaff ala Cory last season or say Bone this season that is gonna hurt you. If your cool concise ala Blade or Hondo that helps you. Johnny is a little hot headed so is Jen so naturally some players are going to get wary of that.

I pointed out a couple of key things this season. How you are also accountable to your bosses as well for PR and how the team is performing. This off season being honest...is going to be a complete disaster for a handful of teams in terms of morale and respect they have earned from the "components" of the league.

If your real life sports team did half the moves you guys did you'd find another team lol. I completely appreciated that I have had to up the player "drama" in order to make it more RPG compatible, but even when I dont there are some bizzare moves in this game.

season 6/7/8 - Mays, Robinson, Lights, Byways (now assistant) and McDoe were the main five that were with me.  All i messed with was draft picks which usually got put into the expansion draft.  I think hardaway is the only draftee that has made it more than once season

I think team chem is just something that suffers in general if you make changes after training camp. However, I'm going to stay out of the room for a while to let this blow over a bit. xD

I know. But equally I have a B+ level player leaving next season and there's no immediately obvious replacement. So I'm to sit on my hands and then try to figure out how to fill a HUGE hole without even considering the options?

NB: Not saying he's not justified, but we have different opinions on how we need to move forward.

I think the guys who don't speak English well know it from old television shows. That would explain Lazco's fascination with Bea Arthur.

Personal experience, prior to my mother and I moving to the U.S. twelve years ago from Brazil, we watched a SHIT TON of U.S. sitcoms and whatnot along with taking English courses - Friends, Spin City, the whole nine yards. It actually helped a bit.

This trade business is being overthought by everyone involved.

Vegas or Hollywood needs to trade their PF to Boise

Anchorage trades Keys to Boise

Boise trades Jones to Hollywood and Richards to Vegas or Hollywood

All three exchange picks. One team is left out. Hope that makes sense.

I drafted a player she didn't want (Rick Emerson) I figured his personal stats would drop for the lack of synergy between em or something, I didn't think she would flat out leave. I'm thinking to start a petition or something against her cause that's three weeks of being paid and not doing what your supposed to do. Not to mention she just left, unprofessional and (sigh...) stereotypical.

It's not worth the upset and hassle.

I'm gunning for the number four spot myself. Traded the partiers for two solid guards, improved my bench with a rebounder, got a nice looking backcourt, and some vets with championship experience. My biggest weakness is coaching. Both coaches are pretty weak to be honest about it.

I suspect he's hovering in the doorframe and will leave if one more thing happens. That's kind've just theoretical though. Might be it's just gonna happen after week one.

BREAKING NEWS...CHEMANKOCOV RELEASED, POLICE SUSPECT FOUL PLAY

Viska Chemankocov was last night released and the police are on the manhunt for one or two possible suspects in cases pertaining to setting up Viska Chemankocov to appear drunk and disorderly. A police spokesman said

“Normally, we wouldn’t give too much into this, but lets be frank here some weirdos have gone out there in an attempt to embarrass a public figure of merit...and in Montana...we don’t allow people to mess with our own.”

There has been no comment from the Bears head office.

For all that Cross is a nutjob I'm not sure I did too much of it myself. There were a few hints about what to do. I mean, all I did was be willing to drop two million and give him a bit of a speech. I'm sure Ian would be able to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the speech itself necessarily knocked Cross out the park. I can only solve the blatant issues, xD.

Would that prevent the uber weeks, though?

As in, there are sometimes weeks when a LOT needs to be thrashed out, usually midseason when things start to hit the fan. Equally there are weeks when everyone just locks in with hardly a word. It might've kind've skew things off a bit.

A schedule would help, but in a way wouldn't it cut down on creativity?

An alternate route would be instituting a 75% Rule. As of now there are 16 teams in the league. Once 12 of them have locked in, the remaining 4 have "X" amount of time before they are auto-locked.

I like this idea best, actually. It allows us time to get stuff done and well, early birds getting the worm deal. We can figure out a fair amount of time to give the 4 remaining teams the best chance to get their stuff settled and done too.

75% lock in deadline will be in effect from now on for 24 hours. So...if 75% of the teams are locked in...the rest who havent have 24 hours to do so or its an autolock.

Excellent suggestion Hondo.

I don't know that I do, to be honest. I think $40 million is reasonable if you manage it correctly. We up that cap number, and someone's gonna sign a mediocre player to a ridiculous contract and set a precedent.

I think a slight creep up might help just because there's been some inflation (it seems like, anyway) lately and it's getting pretty hard for people to sign those low, close to league minimum deals unless they truly suck.

I think 40 IS fair...I mean I sitting at exactly 0...but I wouldnt oppose to going up to $45, no higher than that. Enough for wiggle room, not to sign an all star team or something. Maybe make PR an even 15 oppose to 13.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on August 25, 2012, 02:26:32 AM
$40 mil is fair and PR should be upped to $15 mil. That is the most ideal situation in my opinion.

I think that a 5m cap increase is reasonable, there's definitely been some inflation. Season 7 I got D rated players like Watchen for the league minimum. Farooq was on league minimum, as was Closeness. This year players of the same grade like DeAnte Weed wanted 1.5m to sign a championship contender and ended up signing a 2m deal elsewhere.

Here's the issue and the one of the keys to this game.  If you know a player isn't worth a shit and you offer him the league minimum he will eventually take it.  The problem is the other GMs don't need to pay astronimically high prices to someone who doesn't deserve it.  That way these guys want come to expect the high salaries.

PR doesn't need a hike. The issue is when everyone keeps offering it to try and haggle prices down. I've never actually PUT PR in any player's contract and I've still managed all right.

I only suggested a hike simply because 13 million is a weird number. 15 is round and just makes thing a little simpler. Honestly wouldnt care about a PR hike.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on September 01, 2012, 11:27:40 AM
Basically there's going to be a cap increase of five million. Falls is arguing that if he'd known about the increase he would have angled for more money in Shack's deal. Shack is leery of Falls because he's been tied into a long term deal to a team which is losing its lustre for him.

Falls wants to push through a motion to allow agents/players to renegotiate their deals when the cap increase goes through.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on September 01, 2012, 11:46:43 AM
It's going to be on an agent by agent and player by player basis, I think - so if they're happy with their deal I don't think they'll try and fleece their team.

I have a feeling that if this all happens, it's going to turn into a bidding war for Shack.

That's exactly what's going to happen. Basically who's willing to give Shack 20 million a season or more. That's really Fall's entire reasoning for wanting the cap bumped up and the chance to void current contracts. Ian said it on Inside FBL, if Falls would have known about the salary cap bump, he would have asked for 20 million for Shack.

Depends on the player and agent. A happy player might not be too concerned about a higher pay packet (see Maurice Mays). I have the idea that high morale goes a long way towards more reasonable demands.

I'll be interested to see what sort of cash James Cross is after, considering we basically salvaged his career.

We can - it's what I did with Scott Fletcher. He agreed to sign a new contract once he arrived in Virginia.

I also did it informally with Danberry's agent. He agreed to sign a new deal at the start of season 9 because I didn't have the cap in S8.

I dont think this would be the case....Nigel seems like the only guy whod go crazy and I just paid his client one of the richest contracts in the FBL.

Plus its only 5 million, I dont think many people will be having negative issues from this. Its only 1/8 increase in cap.....not like were tossing an extra 15 million or something crazy like that.

Then again, you never really know with this game. I've rid of all the divas on my team and they all seem very happy to be playing so I dont think their will be lots of drama.

Yeah or maybe just an international league with teams from all over kind of like how they do in football with teams from all over the world playing each other. Spanish league could work.

Given Ian's workload, not sure if he'd be willing to take on other teams and what have you but with GM firings and such being possible, we'll wait and see what happens.

Personally, I'd be down for something along the lines of a mini-World Cup where we get to GM different countries' teams and what have you...again, wishful thinking here, but considering how broad the game has been expanding (international players) and such, it's not too far-fetched to consider, right?

None taken, this is all just wishful thinking and whatnot on my end as we pass the time in between posting in the team topics and such. Yeah, the number being at 16 is more than plenty to handle and I don't see the game going beyond that number.

While some of these ideas are very interesting Jack is dead right. It's a lot of free time to do this with 16 teams that we have now, plus I do this for free.

I appreciate the enthusiasm for the game, but none of this is plausible in being done seeing as I already have committments of TFWF and MFX ontop of this for "internet wrestling related committments"

I agree. It's going to be a war out west. I think there's going to be more rivalry's set up throughout the league which will make things even more interesting. I think the Moses Franks thing is going to lead to something with Roswell and Hollywood which should be good considering the history of the GM's, players, and coaches involved in both teams. Lots of heat there.

Well Anchorage and Vegas didn't play each other the first four weeks of conference play and it was hard scheduling the last two weeks so it kind of ended up that way.

Something about the schedule doesn't seem right, it may be me being picky, but it seems really off to me. 

From my division I play

Boise x3
Wyoming x2
Hollywood x2
Anchorage x2
Montana x1
Roswell x1
Seattle x1

and then 6 games from the other division (Tampa, Kentucky, Waves, Virginia, Steamers, Blades)

The fact that I only play some teams once, and then Boise 3 times seems a little off.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Post by: FXBlade on September 04, 2012, 11:15:30 AM
Theres more buddy..  This is Anchorage.  The Play Hollywood 3 times, and dont even play Montana.

Hollywood x3
Roswell x2
Boise x2
Wyoming x 2
Vegas x 2
Seattle x 1

+ 6 from East

Should every team not play everyone in their own division twice and then 4 from the opposite?  That would be 18 games right?

BREAKING NEWS...VRABA FAILED SUICIDE ATTEMPT

In a sad piece of news unlucky in love Cazluc Vraba failed a suicide attempt last night after it was revealed he was benched without anyone speaking to him he took it very hard. He climbed on top of his car and threw himself off onto the soft grass below. Most people thought he was just being a goof until he screamed about trying to commit suicide. One onlooker said

“He has a fear of heights so he climbed onto his car top and threw himself off...he also has a fear of gravel so he made sure to land on the grass below. He scraped his knee...after I told him it wasn’t a fatal injury, he admitted it had been a suicide attempt. After I stopped laughing and my children also stopped pointing at him and laughing, we took him to a local hospital.”

Vraba will be unavailable for next week’s action while he recovers from his ordeal.

Boise vs. Seattle
Texas vs. Kentucky

Anchorage vs. Boise
Roswell vs. Las Vegas
Montana vs. Hollywood
Puerto Rico vs. Boston
Tampa Bay vs. Virginia

Am I supposed to be facing Seattle or Anchorage? I figure since Boise is the team on there twice, and I'm the one missing, I should be in one of those games. Kind of need to know so I can answer my last question.

No, i don't believe that is possible, Ty.

If you release the player then you have to pay him. If the player decides to leave the team i believe that constitutes as a breach of contract and you don't have to pay him.

If you fire a player you have to pay out his contract

However you cannot add a player at this stage I believe, you would be a man down forthe season

BREAKING NEWS...MIKE FLIPS FOUND SLEEPING WITH MOSES FRANKS SISTER

Mike Flips has driven a wedge between him and Moses Franks after he apparently wooed and seduced Franks sister at a Franks family function....

“Flips got talking to her at a wedding reception...proceeded to have sex with her...film it...and then play it during a team meeting unaware it was Moses’ sister.”

Flips then went onto have some blown up pictures of the sex marathon dotted around the locker room and when asked about how it effected Moses didnt seem to register who Moses was.

Sometimes the team just doesn't click, Cory. I had that (and albeit we were doing much better by the end, but we had a few lucky/fluke wins) last season, where my team wasn't playing nearly as well as the players involved would suggest.

This season I almost seem to have the opposite, where my team performs much BETTER than you'd expect - but that's probably the James Cross factor, given he's rated C and yet is pumping out numbers comparable to y'know, Rogers, Mays and Hallmark. Makes me both happy and anxious, I keep expecting him to explode.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on September 17, 2012, 09:39:25 AM
It's also possible that your coach's style doesn't fit the team you have at current. Sui took the helm decently last season, but he has to be rated C for a reason, you know?

James, why don't you call out Flips? You keep encouraging him and it isn't helping. I think you really need to put the blame on him the way the season is going. He was a great player, but instead of telling him how bad he is at coaching you let him believe he is doing a good job. Your starters look to be playing pretty good, but as soon as Franks and Trafford go in things seem to go down hill.

lol, my comment was 'If they try to foul you or hurt you at all...', never said you would. I was more dismissive than accusing. I encouraged my team to play smart, safe ball. Your ass coach accused my player of helping an old blind lady cheat to beat at a free throw contest and you encouraged it. lol, then again, we both knew Street had it in for him for some reason

Then why say it? If you say something about hurting then it gets in the players minds and makes it even worse especially if there is not heat. My assistant coach but it was not in a news story but in a team thread which are two entirely different things. He said who he thought was doing it (Street) to which I kept him going to probe for information. That is not encouraging. Encouraging is what I do with Flips, lol. I do agree on the last part about Street. Maybe something happened in training camp that no one knows about. That's my theory on the matter.

If you survive the season, I think that you eat Franks' contract, possibly eat Flips' (or get rid of him somehow) and just try and make a good draft. Don't mess with things too much. If you can replace Trafford and Franks you'll actually have a semi decent team. But Franks is appalling and Flips is a dire coach and they're both hurting you. Rebuild over a while, y'know?

Trafford's issue, from what I can see, is an unjustified ego, given how highly touted he's been by Falls. I think he needed some more guidance when he was younger.

He's not though, from what I can see, a major time troublemaker. How much of his contractual demands come from him, and how much come from Falls?

Cancers are guys like Street and Fox, though I don't think any player is truly unsalvagable right off the bat, they're probably beyond the point of no return now (which was probably caused by them being on the same team together). Cross was getting there too, and I'm not sure he's out of the woods yet in terms of his issues. But in any case, it often depends on the player and on the outfit they were a part of - I've definitely seen some events affect the attitudes of players for the worse. Cooper turned from a real team player into a loudmouth with an arrogant streak, Vraba was always stroppy but now he's gone completely mental. Chris Jones definitely started developing an attitude.

I love watching the personalities in this game, just hope that it goes well when I have to settle with two of the bigger ones (Griffin and Falls) later in the season...
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on September 23, 2012, 02:17:22 PM

I'm crossing my fingers they don't catch fire like Boston did towards the latter half of the season. In specific, I hope it doesn't start this week. <_<

Because if they do...shiiiiiittttttt, this could get interesting.

Post by: Jennifer on October 12, 2012, 10:11:40 AM
I think it just depends on the combination of guys... it's not even necessarily needing time to gel - my team got almost completely overhauled from last season to this one... some groups just don't operate as well together. The whole is bigger than the sum of its parts and the grades aren't everything. It could be that Sui's 'fast break offence' lends itself to more mistakes and doesn't suit the players involved.

I dunno, but I don't think the highest-grading team automatically has anything sewn up, the Hayseeds are testament to that.

A good way to weed out the Primadonnas is to give them the chance to be mature. I lost a game last week I shouldn't have done, and Elbomu has outperformed McDoe from the bench pretty much every week in terms of blocks, rebounds, points and steals. So by that rationale, yes, McDoe is playing badly, because his direct counterpart is outperforming him with less minutes. If he was mature he'd take it on the chin and up his game, not bitch out, especially as I assured him he's my long term PF, AND there's proof from the Aces that rotation can help. Basically, f**k him.

Mistake!

Mcdoe was my starter and didn't like the challenge from fools.

Mcdoe left because he didn't like the competition. And the sad thing is, fools consistently put up the same if not better points from the bench.

It's an inferiority complex deal. McDoe's good, but it seems every time he's 'competed' for a position, he's failed miserably.

It is what it is and Elbomu does deserve a shot at playing starter.

Man... the difference between East and West this year is even more striking than before. I'm just amazed by my team's hot streak. I'm faiiiirly sure this is the most we've won in a row since the game started.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the Falls Clause... I can see a bunch of teams resetting entirely. I'd like to stick with mostly what I have, for obvious reasons, but I could do with a centre upgrade. Have a feeling I won't be able to talk OJ out of retiring though, which will be a big blow.

...Fingers crossed Hawk doesn't quit on me and Griffin doesn't waltz off.

Well y'know, the Inside the FBL guys had some advice in that regard, right? Don't make so many snap decisions, think about the kind of guys you're bringing in, don't sign F- grade players to eight year deals...

Though to be fair I'm not sure you could have seen Trafford coming, he got really bad, REALLY quickly.

Haven't listened to the show yet but you are dead on about Trafford. That guy went way down this season. However I think I did better about the snap decisions this season than in previous ones but the other stuff is dead on. Signing Flips as a coach was another bad mistake, lol.

I have just gone to look at the schedule so I can answer the last question in my press conference and came across this.  Is this the right copy?  its the one Ian has posted in the results thread

QuoteWeek 6

Boston vs. Roswell
Kentucky vs. Las Vegas
Mississippi vs. Wyoming
Puerto Rico vs. Boise
Tampa Bay vs. Hollywood
Anchorage vs. Virginia
Seattle vs. Texas
Pittsburgh vs. Montana

Wyoming vs. Boston
Roswell vs. Kentucky
Boise vs. Mississippi
Hollywood vs. Puerto Rico
Roswell vs. Tampa Bay
Virginia vs. Seattle
Texas vs. Montana
Pittsburgh vs. Anchorage

Roswell have 2 games in week 2, and Vegas have none.

Also, Vegas played Kentucky on week 4, surely they shouldnt be playing again?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on October 21, 2012, 06:32:42 AM
This was the copy of the schedule I was sent. We SERIOUSLY need to get on top of this. I need some help here because I can't do everything for the league myself, hence why when the schedule was volunteered by someone I defaulted to them.

I suggest we work out who has played each other so far and go from there. Obviously the major thing is if you've played a team once at home you need to play them away as well.

Next season I suggest we limit the teams to playing inter-conference games with 2 weeks were they play teams from the other conference.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on October 21, 2012, 08:48:21 AM
I have played - assuming the order on the PDF reads home team vs away team:

Aliens (W) (Away)
Aces (W) (Home)
Stars (W) (Away)
Toppers (W) (Home)
Glaciers (W) (Away)
Bears (W) (Home)
Colonials (E) (Away)
Stallions (E) (Home)
Waves (E) (Away)
Hayseeds (E) (Home)

I'm set to play Mississippi and Boston this week, neither of which I've played yet, so for me at least it seems accurate.

The only issue seems to be weeks 6 and 7. Actually week 6 is good now but week 7 will have to be reworked. Not everything just a few of the games. Working on that now.

Week 6

Boston vs. Roswell

Seattle vs. Texas
Pittsburgh vs. Montana

Wyoming vs. Boston

Double check that but it should work. I'll check weeks 8-11 too.

Presuming we'll have a new player come in as well seeing as Fisk has been MIA for a while now, correct?

As for the schedules, was the original plan to have the inter-conference games let each team play one game against all eight teams on the opposing conferences or just play four of those teams on two occasions? Considering there are a few repeat matches from Week 4 (Kentucky/Vegas, Anchorage/Pittsburgh come to mind). Just curious.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on October 21, 2012, 11:41:55 PM
Falls Clause:

Every player can choose, if they so wish, to renegotiate their contract at the end of this season.

Every team has the right to choose to renegotiate any given player's contract.

So a player can basically opt to leave a team by jacking up his contract demands ridiculously high to the point where the team say 'no', allowing them to leave.

But a team can get rid of a player by offering them a ludicrously low deal, because if they don't accept THAT, the contract is also void.

I'd like to see the following if we can do it. Everyone plays a home and away game with the people in their division.

They also play a one home game and one away game with a team outside their division.

To many games a season will burn me out in making it and this should be able to manage in future. Can you also PM me the new schedule for this season since you made the changes.

Will do. For next season how many weeks do you want it? This season is 11 but what messed everything up was the interleague play being multiple weeks.

I can do that easily for next season's schedule if you want. Will send the PM ASAP.

I think Ian's idea was one home game and one away for the interleague play.

So, using my own team as an example, I'd just play one week at home against Kentucky, one away at Mississippi. At least that's the idea I got, so it's just reduced stress on the scheduling and less weeks to worry about.

Its obvious the its running slower than usual and completely understanding seeing as how running this game is very time consuming and I personally dont know how Ian does it. But we're currently getting around an update a day, to where as back in the summer when there was more free time we could usually rattle off 4-5 things a day at least.

So my suggestion would be if we could find a way to "list" the things we'd want to discuss and Ian to get to them while hes updating. Say like set a maximum of three discussions or "moves" so it wont take forever to update, but it could help the game if anyone else agrees. An example would be for my time.

1. I'd like to talk with head coach Sui about the teams performance.
2. I'd like to speak with Sparky Weasel about his turnovers.
3. I'd like to add 250k to Malik Georges PR.



Something like that. I donno, im fine with this pace as I'm in school and working 30 hours a week, but just figured id suggest it if it would work with everyone and with Ian.

I have made the call that it will be interplay for the league. So East coast teams will only play East coast until the Championships. I hope this can develop an East Coast/West Coast rivalry. It makes it easier on me and that means its a 14 game schedule.

Maybe we can also look at All-Star teams next season as well.

Interesting concept on league play, lending more to Major League Baseball than the NBA. I like it. The ONLY issue I could see from this would be if one league is stronger than the other. If there are, for example, two good teams in the east and five good teams in the west, when playoff time rolls around and the fifth best team in the west misses the playoffs despite being better than the third place team in the east. But that's only a minor quabble, so I'm in favor.

As far as All-Star teams go, I like the idea. I'd even take it a bit further and have an "All-Star Weekend" of sorts. Of course there's no real way to have dunk competitions and three point contests in a simulated league such as ours. So most of this would have to be done "General News" style.

I know the burden of running this game is a tough one, so if you need assistance with any All-Star Weekend items, I'll lend my services. Feel like I need to give back to the game somehow, since I've enjoyed it so much.

The leagues will balance themselves out. It's always cyclical - the East may be better one year but with the type of changes that Ian likes to throw in there to keep it interesting should make up for it. The league is essentially going to reboot with this Nigel Falls amendment anyway.

I like inter-league stuff, particularly as is said one conference has always been a bit weaker than the other one (and I feel I've built a couple of informal rivals in the East that I'm far less likely to run across now). That having been said... I understand the logic behind keeping it just to our own conferences and I think it's fair enough in terms of reducing your workload, Ian. I'm sure it'll work out fine.

I don't know what all star games are. Help a basketball noob out?

Basically, the fans vote for who they think are the best players from each conference. Those players will then play against the other conference to see which conference wins. So it's more or less the best of the best playing a game.

In the NBA, All-Star Weekend has a lot of other contests, like the three-point shooting contest, the slam dunk contest and the rookies vs. sophomores game. Things like that.

This is what I am working off guys. I am pretty disappointed on how the constant schedule reshaping has effected Season 9. Hence with Season 10 we CANNOT go wrong with inter conference play only.

I didnt factor in any mistakes of morale etc. in simming with GM scheduling blunders for week 6 because I know some locked in before and I also thought Franchise had made this schedule clear to all, but apparently not.

Hopefully this clears everything up.

Its been a bit of a balls up to say the least, but I appreciate Bone and Franchise helping out in this regard as FBL is quite a time consuming exercise with its expansion since we started.

It's hard to turn down overtures from one of the best players in the league with Shack, but sometimes I think it's best to stay the course.  Shack may be an upgrade from Kamil, but it isn't worth blowing up your team.  I know if it wasn't Shack, it'd likely be something else, but for me, I'm going to keep my head down and plow forward until hell breaks loose.  This game is too unpredictable to look too far in to the future.

I think it was less upgrade and more the principle of having both of them on the same team.

I don't blame Strike for missing their old rivalry, considering it came up only in the first season for the most part, and only incidentally.

Right now I'm just... wow, my team is flying high but there is like, one thread to unravel and my entire team could fall apart by next season.

I was operating the assumption of Kamil having to be a part of any trade for Shack.  Perhaps I'm wrong and it's not a big deal but I don't see any solution where the two can work together and it doesn't explode in Strike's face.

I'll deal. I have a certain idea on how to go about this one. If it works, grand. If it doesn't, you know, move on forward from there. Would hate to lose him, though, given what I gave up in the first place to get Kamil.

QuoteKaden Apollo - C â€" Duke â€" 7’3 â€" 235lbs
Apollo for many can get you around 12-13 points a game in the FBL, but it’s that shot blocking which has scouts drooling. With the league having the likes of Frazier and Lee, this mobile big man can go toe to toe with them. For some he will jump Bennett in the draft because of this. In college The Shack vs Apollo matchups were a must see. A confident pick in the top three...he won’t fall out of there.

My mistake, although I'm sure there was talk of Bennett vs. Shack stuff. Maybe it was Inside FBL...

Their salary also comes from a different budget, and coaches have always been able to leave whenever they felt like it.


Edit: Just realised my guys are on a 9 game winning streak. That's nuts. Really takes me aback; wasn't expecting to be doing this well.

Now if only I can beat my last bogey team (Las Vegas), at some point and this season will be remarkable.  ;D. Even though my team has some real weak links in terms of off-court fragility, I'm really looking forward to the fallout from this season.

I really hate to be a pain about the schedule, but I was just checking through it and I'm slated to play Anchorage in weeks 10 and 11, and we've already played each other once.

I think I'm missing a game against Pittsburgh, as by the current system, they're the only team I haven't played at all, and I have two games against every team in my conference.

Found the missing match, I think.

Mississippi and Pittsburgh are scheduled to play each other in week 11 having also already played each other twice.

So in week 11, if you change it from:
Mississippi vs. Pittsburgh
and
Wyoming vs. Anchorage

To:

Mississippi vs. Anchorage
and
Wyoming vs. Pittsburgh

I think that sorts out the issue.

Guys I am kind of getting to the stage with this schedule where I am thinking we call time on it in a few weeks. I will make a deal to the GMs there will be no more "firings" and we can end the season.

This schedule is really ticking me off and its not worked as planned. I'd like to hear from everyone and see if they are keen to do this so we can properly lay it out.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Strike on November 06, 2012, 03:31:37 PM
I can work with that - last year, it was only a total of eight weeks that were played out, right? Give it another two weeks of in-play time to determine some of those final playoff spots where races are tight, move on to the playoffs/offseason/Falls Clause/draft bits that will come, lay out the schedule prim and proper for the next season while at it and go from there.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on November 06, 2012, 03:33:50 PM
I understand the logic behind ending it early and... well I'm going to say that I feel it's more the call of the Eastern Conference, as theirs is the one where a few more games are going to make a big difference, considering how close it all is.

Like, I don't object to it because I know the repeated issues with the schedule must have been a huge headache, I'm just not... all guns blazing full speed ahead because, y'know... my conference is largely a  foregone conclusion.

Just for Ian's info, from what I can gather with Fisk (I read something on the PW forums) her cousin was shot and killed. I think anything e-fed related has understandably taken a back seat.

As for the season, I think simming straight through the playoffs would be a bit too much of a rush. There are guys that are there for the first time.

At what point in the season do contracts expire? Like, I have a couple guys on my team with one year left on their contract. Do they leave immediately after the play offs and are considered free agents then, or is it a sort've 'once we hit off season' thing?

I want to double check cause... well I don't want to lose players just cause I'm not clear on exactly when the contracts come up.

The general consensus of the league seems to be to end this week which we will be doing in terms of the regular season.

Any teams making the playoffs will infact have a choice to sim or participate as that seems fairest.

No offseason moves will come into play till AFTER the playoffs. Feel free to discuss trades and what not, but nothing will be finalized till after the playoffs are done and dusted.

Very excited with the schedule Justin has produced and sent to me. So the sooner we lock in this week the quciker we can move it all on.

I have been working on a new way of setting out your team sheet. Please see my test pdf below. I have added some formulas to this. It will give you the amount spent on PR with the league budget in brackets. Amount of salaries on players with a budget as well.

I have a feeling this will be very useful for the FBL.

I think there is far too much focus on resolving. As I said we have an offseason to go at when the season is over. I am happy to spend time going through most of that then. No players are going to extend contracts now nor coaches agree anything.

We have time to negotiate with our players in the off-season before they hit free agency either by an expired contract or Falls deal right?

Unfortunately, I think it's a case of your owner's personality combining poorly with the situation. He obviously thinks with his heart more than his head.

I wouldn't be surprised if the coaches' biggest effect was on team chemistry - hence why Hawk was incredibly miffed at the idea of bringing in somebody new after training, and hence why the buzzword around Texas has been 'needing to gel'. Sui's grade isn't that great - maybe he has a good strategy but his flaw is that he can't adjust the strategy to fit the players. That and a little bit of bad luck and I can see why trouble would be being had.

I feel for ya though Cory, tough situation you're in.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on November 08, 2012, 01:34:51 PM
But I dont know whether to take my chances and build a team that can play this scheme, and risk losing all my talent, or disobey the owner and fire Sui and bring in someone who can work with the team.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Hondo on November 08, 2012, 01:50:38 PM
Looks like you're in a no-win situation, so why not go for broke? Fire the coach and take your chances with the owner. The worst that could happen would be landing in Boise.

Post by: J-Reb on November 08, 2012, 02:01:28 PM
You can't sit idle.  You have to do one or the other - it's probably easier to work with the owner and build bridges there than lose all the talent that you have acquired and start over.  You won't have the bevy of draft picks to work with this time like you did last year.

It'll mostly depend on the player. The Falls clause is an opportunity for change, but it's not like EVERYONE is going to want to drop everything. I mean, why would, for example, Eddie Lights want to leave Vegas after the great seasons he's had with them? Not everyone is money motivated and not everyone is going to want a bigger slice of the pie.

Another example - James Cross completely turned his career around by coming to Wyoming, it would be pretty weird if he just randomly left. I can see him wanting more money, but not just quitting pointlessly. (I'm actually hoping his demands will be quite reasonable because of high morale).

I never thought I'd say this, but if OJ retires I'm considering making Cross my captain.

Ok no Inside FBL and the results are jumbled.

Right there are some limitations for those non playoff teams right now in what they can do. They can discuss with current roster members contracts for effect next season...if you get an agreement...they MUST be in future deals thread agreed. Playoff teams can also talk to players as well on their exsisting team only.

You may also start talking to coaches about being your coach for Season 10 if you need them. Again must be futured dealed.

Against for your remaining pr budget and the big thing will be i will be doing the draft prospects this weekend.

Once the playoff teams are all locked in...the rest of you are locked as well.

ROUND ONE OF THE PLAYOFFS IS UNDERWAY!

He needs to be in Boise with Franchise immediately!

I need him and that Russian coach Chemaneckov who used to coach Montana. He ran naked through the streets one time. Imagine the chaos.  :D

Just wondering - is Mark Peck supposed to be a PF rather than a PG? The description and height implies PF but he's listed PG. Like I said, just curious, cause that would make 3 out of the top 5 Point and no PFs.

Couple of errors I believe new copy has corrected.

Main thing, yes, I do realize the voicemail was a key mistake on this department here. But when your team captain's walking off practices and swearing off from them as your team is in the playoffs...hell, there's only so much I can take too. Kamil just seemed a little more mature than this, if anything.

But live and learn. Making the playoffs in my first year as a GM means I've done more right stuff than wrong, I'm hoping. XD

Yeah. I feel like all I could do was be up front and honest though. I've been trying hard to keep my head down and not do anything dumb, deflect the questions about where Hawk is going to go and defended constant accusations that we like, hate each other when other than that one spat at the start of the season we've been getting on pretty well the entirety of season 9. I was actually going to leave it one more week of the regular season to say something similar, but y'know, early end meant that I wound up saying it now.

I was hoping to get it out BEFORE another Magiko story though. :P

(For the record, even if he leaves, I really doubt he's going to up sticks BEFORE the play offs. Man's a professional)

Yeah, Rebel... Reed won our game for you. If I had a better centre then it'd have been something else, but unfortunately Simon 'late first round' Frame turned out to be nowhere near as good as I was hoping. I mean... okay late first round pick, not expecting an amazing player but ... he's worse than Country Sampson. I have a feeling that the weakness in my starting five may cost me in the playoffs.

I just like how I've drafted top 5 twice and both have been busts of enormous proportions for me. I wish I'd gone with my gut and traded ... I think it was #3 + Mukwaza or #3 + Johnson... or Mukwaza + Johnson for Griffin. That'd have worked.

I suck at drafting. Seriously, if I still have Free next year that'll be the longest any draftee has been with me, and tbh he's probably going to wind up in Spain by the looks of things.

This Anchorage situation is unreal. Benching their best player? Chart is clearly not a man manager.

Seriously though, Franchise? 6 million is an insane contract. That's more than any coach other than Chart (whose deal was equally ridiculous). They might be unproven, but I'd have a look at one of the college guys rather than pay somebody relatively untested that much. I mean, Jin Sui was a national coach too and he's hardly exceptional. The college coaches can't ALL be ragingly homosexual or crazy homeless guys.

That is what I'm likely going to do. Marcelo I thought would be good but probably not. I think Coco Flames will end up coaching Roswell. I think I'll end up with the college guys and Roswell will have Chemaneckov and Flames.

It depends.

He got ticked off with Seattle because you encouraged the team to start fights and then praised James Cross for getting into a scuffle with JJ Rogers, and he didn't want to be a part of that.

He got ticked off with Texas because of the fallout from Nestgate (Chart's departure), which was probably one of the biggest FBL snafus to date.

I... don't necessarily think that's being moody. I still think there's more to the Shack/Bennett thing that hasn't been uncovered, particularly bearing in mind Strike made the move for Shack before the kind've timeframe given on Inside FBL
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on November 11, 2012, 04:13:53 PM
Yeah but if Bennett wanted the team to get better then wouldn't he want Shack on his team even with not getting along with him? Team first mentality is what he needs. He seems to have a problem with management more than anything.

I don't know. Like I said, I feel that there's more to this than is being let on right now. There have been a few implications from Chart that it's not necessarily about a rivalry between the two players, and the original story suggested Bennett was looking to get an improved deal... which signing somebody like Shack would probably put a dent in.

FBL is never as open and shut as people think, is all I'm saying, but the first two fallings out Bennett had? Completely understandable. I mean, if you look at Bennett's manner in conversation and the views he's put forward on certain topics, he strikes me as being a guy who wants to play ball without drama, y'know? This is the first time he's done anything that's made him look like a prima donna.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on November 11, 2012, 04:25:35 PM
Actually I think he showed it during Nestgate. He's one of those my way or the highway type of guys. He's a primadonna. I said that after he wanted out of Texas last season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on November 11, 2012, 04:31:24 PM
Having just re-read Nestgate, I can 100% see how you would get upset at the situation without being a diva. Nestgate itself was pretty dire in terms of shaking the team's foundations, then Chart left (because he was getting snubbed after press conferences), and then Cory went fire and brimstone in multiple press conferences and tore into several players.

Fair enough if that's your opinion though, but Bennett went from being reasonably happy to wanting to leave two weeks later, and that was after some serious fire in press conferences (calling negative attention to the team), mishandling Stimar (and Keys, to a lesser extent), and then basically just saying "There's the door, if you want to go, then go" to the entire team.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Main difference is, when one starts putting up abysmal stats for a player of that caliber and then walking off from practice just as it's going into playoffs - there's consequences for that kind of behavior in real life and to me, I can't accept it either, especially when it's the team captain doing it. I dunno, I just feel that while I did mess up entirely, that taking it out on the entire team by not showing up to practice and half-assing the last two games of the season (that could have upped the spot in the standings, as the Dragons did beat Wyoming as well IIRC) and then refusing to be at practice on the eve of the playoffs...even if I made Kamil happy somehow and it all worked out, there'd be that looming threat he'd resort to behavior like this one again if he didn't get things his way again.

Yeah, not gonna work. It's unfortunate, but I've gotta do what's best for the team overall. See what happens in the postseason first, go from there.

Oh, I understand that too. But again, the team captain thing...it'd be one thing if he was just one guy. When you're THE guy, skipping practice is not exactly setting an example or showing yourself to be a reliable leader for your teammates.

This is my point. Bennett is a great player but at time cannot be reliable especially when he's mad at management. All he cares about is his image and not the team.

I feel Stallions circa Nestgate (the end of season 7) are very worth reading. That basically DETONATED the team.

Aces are like, the example of what TO do. Kentucky seasons 6 and 7 were a great success story, too.

Oh Ian, regarding incorrect numbers of 'years pro'

* Country Sampson and James Cross should both have 4 listed and each only has 3.
* This should be Yianni Gilkansious's third year, and it's listed as his second.
* I'm not sure how many years Fan Mu should have, but I know that 4 isn't correct, as he was on the Bells' starting roster in Season 6, and it's the season 6 draftees who have 4 years experience.
* There seems to be some discrepancy with Eddie Lights, as he was rookie of the year in season 2. This should mean he has 8 years experience as of this year, meaning he would have entered the FBL at 18 years old, but he's listed as coming from Duke rather than high school. I'm not 100% sure how it works so that might not matter, but in any case, this should be his eighth year, not his sixth.
* Yi Fi was out of the FBL for a year, so I'm not sure if he should have 4 years or not. It depends on whether the number represents purely FBL experience, I guess. 3 accounts for all his years playing in our league.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on November 14, 2012, 02:25:41 PM
no problem ian ...I took to long  not your fault


here the speech

First thing ... I want to thank you all for a great season . You have all done a great job this year.  You all have work hard ... You don't know how proud I am to be the GM of such a fine team .  I thank you all for your hard work and dedication in making this a great year

Bad news , Country not going to be available for this game.  It my fault , I want to say that I am sorry I fail , I should have taken better care of him this year ... I did not do my job as a gm as well as I should have . if I have done my job better He would not be in this situation.  But I can not change that at this moment .  Al I can say in the future I will be a better GM to you all .

I did not call you here to talk about my failings as a GM... Guys I can say right now with all my heart  we are the best team in this league with the best coaches. Dragons think they can win ,  They think they can beat us. They only have a few good players , they are not the team that we are ... we are going to show them what it is to be a championship team each one of us is going to show them what it is to play as a championship team. Hard work , team work , each man playing there hearts out when they step on that court.  Each man giving there all for the team. That what Steamers Basketball is all about . We know that Steamers basketball is real , because you ... all of you  have been winning games week after week after week . You proven it .

This week does not change that , we will show them , we will show the whole league ... everyone else in the league thinks we are going to lose.  I seen there predictions , They all chose us to lost by 2 points or 3 points . I say bull shit to that .  They don't know what I know, They don't see what I see  , Winners ... Champions ... I see you guys practice week after week.  I know that all of you are champions in your heart.  It time to show the world that heart of champions. I want you all to say it with me ... Champions  , that what we are and that what the world is going to see . We are the best ... we are champions.

Say it with me , Champions! ...Champions! ...CHAMPIONS!...




OK ...Coach  Poppdikos  and Coach Brown   

Let get us another win 

Starting Line Up

McCool -pg
Bell -sg
Johnson -sf
Fernando -pf
Beast - c

Bench

Massimo - SF
Paige -pg

 

Lock it in

Forgive the ignorance here, but could you explain that last post in my thread like I'm a five year old? Maybe it was me sitting up all night watching college basketball, but I don't quite get it. Not the mold part, I get that. The other, "Phase 2" part.

QuoteYes, trades I understand from FBL.com are going ahead, but after these trades are finalized, players willing to opt out of their contracts via the 'NFCC' ruling or teams using the 'NFCC' ruling to their releasing player advantage will happen, they are calling that stage 2...I have some mould on my under carriage...

I think what it means is that trades will go through just fine, but after those trades go through, players/teams still have the option of:

a) Opting out of their current contract altogether using the NFCC
b) Teams have the option of releasing a player using the NFCC

I think that phase two thing has to do with regardless if a player is traded, if they are not happy with their current deal they can still opt out of that contract. Which means it is not a guarantee that they are going to stay with your team even if you traded them.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on November 17, 2012, 10:55:08 AM
First off thank you to all of you for another fantastic season of FBL. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Congratulations to Dorling who put together the team which took him all the way to the FBL Championship. I also think a top mention has to go to Domingo who assembled a team with so many problems that challenged all the way to the Finals. Well done lads.

Now...I know what everyone is thinking what happens next with the NFCC in play. All of your PR people will be called in by you when your ready. Trades made already and future dealed will now go into effect for Season 10.

Your first point of business is to tie up your off Season 9 PR. So basically if you want scouting reports etc., this is the time to get it future dealed. Priority number one. Once you have decided this, your PR person will advise which players have acted on the NFCC ruling and will not be part of the team for Season 10. You will then also be able to use the NFCC ruling in response to release any players you dont want. You dont have to speak to them about this. This will give us a compiled list of all the Free Agents for Season 10.

I will then lock the topics while I get a list together for everything. We need to try and get this done pretty sharpish.

Season 10 offseason will begin with the Season 10 draft as well at the same time you can begin speaking to FA's about signing for your ball club. A combination of the two.

For anyone looking to add coaches you have two options at this stage either wait it out till the FA list is finalized or do it alongside the first part of the off season ala the PR stuff. Anything you agree MUST BE FUTURE DEALED for Season 10.

I'd suggest getting the PR stuff and scouting you want first out the way. That's a one way conversation between you and the PR person so assume they will be there. Once your happy to be locked in we can move onto Stage 2 (NFCC bit).

Using future deals and lock in will be the key to moving this along fast. So it's on you guys to make this happen. Coaches and players will be in some cases on vacation so it's up to you to be wise in how you approach this...

Good luck and here we go again!

It was an interesting experience playing the game this season instead of sitting on the sidelines watching as a fan and wondering if the choices you would have made would have been better than the ones made by those running a team.

It's always easier to sit there and talk about what you would've done, but being in control is a whole different experience. Had fun this season and cannot wait until next.

Ian, in terms of the NFCC, is it possible people will exercise it by saying "I would like more money, I am using the NFCC, such that you either give me more money, or I walk out?" - or is it literally only a case of people will either go or they will stay? (and hence it's in our best interests to offer improved deals before the NFCC goes through)

If the deal doesn't work for them I'd imagine they would use the move. Then again the quicker you lock in the less chance someone will use the move if you fuck up the negoiations. You will get a list of those departing. They will go...as stated the PR person will be advised by you people you want to NFCC. After that people cant use the clause anymore once the FA is finalized.

So...do you gamble by too many conversations...or not....and if you dont gamble...will someone have decided to leave anyways?

Nope...hence it's a gamble. You are inviting in players to discuss their futures with those players and their agents KNOWING a new deal has gone into play with more cap room. So think about it...are most of them going to be like 'yes I love my deal'...probably not unless they really like the team or love their deal.

So your choice is simple...you bring them into talk...a good percentage will want a new deal, but at a cost to you. Some will leave the team, because of this NFCC rule, but that ultimately depends on how well you have GM'd them and the team or how well your reputation sits with them.

Welcome to life...pull up a seat :)

Your first point of business is to tie up your off Season 9 PR. So basically if you want scouting reports etc., this is the time to get it future dealed. Priority number one. Once you have decided this, your PR person will advise which players have acted on the NFCC ruling and will not be part of the team for Season 10. You will then also be able to use the NFCC ruling in response to release any players you dont want. You dont have to speak to them about this. This will give us a compiled list of all the Free Agents for Season 10.


We still have a chance to release players right? I was under the impression we do that after we learn who's left on their own, but you've already posted a free agency so that worries me.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on November 18, 2012, 11:15:02 PM
I did that because I am away...I doubt highly given the talent anyone wants your shitty players anyway Bone. Just future deal the NFCCs so people can pick them up for 10 million a season if needs be (franchise)

Hey, just something really quick to point out - I remember from last season w/the Damore trade that I ended up getting a first rounder from Boise that was originally Puerto Rico's for S10. Wouldn't that be the #8 overall, in this case? Still listed as the Waves having that pick on the draft order.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I wouldnt have backed away if I didnt have to.  Seeing the forced lock in was painful for me, and fortunately for the playoff game against Seattle, Ian caught me on a morning that I had computer access.

This has been a great experience and have been proud to be a part of it.  I had fun and it made me think about next moves and what I could do to improve each season.

Ian, Kudos for running this, it really was a great addition.

Really will miss the run ins with other GM's.  Winding BD up for fun, Raping the Franchise Toppers for Eddie Lights, Dorling and Hondo for an awesome feud with the Colonials and Seeds Respectively.

Oh, and good luck with the Aces DnK, hope you had as much fun as I did.

VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!

Could be in a situation like me though where he has zero budget for scouting next year and tight financials for salary. That's why I've taken a guy in the draft in the first round that was predicted second. I scouted low because I only have a small amount of cap to fill my bench.

Traded Fields to the Stars for a season 11 second rounder. I went .5 over my budget after the Walls deal so I had to do it. Other than that team is good to go.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on November 23, 2012, 02:12:01 AM
Like, here's what his options look from my perspective:


His team is kinda looking like this right now


PG: Champ [C+]
SG: Rivers [C]
SF:  Malik George [c]
PF:  Peck = B-/C+, [possibly as low as C, more than likely C+/B- range]
C: Williams  [B-]

Bench:
PF/C: Truck [D]
PG: Tiny Scott [C-]
SF/SG [safe assume a D or lower]


Pretty balanced, weak on the lower part





if he takes your non-Abrax deal Jenn


PG: Champ [C+]
SG: Rivers [C]
SF:  George [c]
PF:  Peck = B-/C+, [possibly as low as C, more than likely C+/B- range]
C: Class (C+)

Bench:
PF/C: Truck [D]
PG: Tiny Scott [C-]
SF/SG: Michael Free [C]

Huge improvement



If I offer him some things:

PG: Champ [C+]
SG: Rivers [C]
SF:  George [c]
PF:  Peck = B-/C+, [possibly as low as C, more than likely C+/B- range]
C: Apollo [C+ (though he will be a B this year]

Bench:
PF/C: Truck [D]
PG/SG   Brandon Jordan [C]
SF: Brother Leo [D]

Apollo is a much better player than Class imo (as seen in his performance last season) and definitely better than Williams (stat line from their game last year, week one , Apollo had 17p, 19 rb, 11 blk, 3 stl and an assist to Williams 15 points, 18 rebounds, and only 1 block with nothing else. Im crazy to even be going after Williams imo) and yeah, I honestly feel this on is the better oe for him. For either deal. Either deal imo works out better for him

Actually, I dunno why I'm even going after Williams so hard. I already offered Apollo who's a better player (style wise I feel Williams would fit better), I'm making big sacrifices to help Steven field the best possible team (Im pulling a BD in softness, my deal was waaaay to good), and yeah, I dunno, I must be going crazy I think

Yeah, I think Steven got a lot of good advice. Much, much more than I did at first (hmm people who gave me bad advice to get me to make bad trades lol. Though we do help each other good nowadays lol

I was under the impression that Steven wasn't going to make trades anymore, tbh.

Even if you're banking on potential, a guy projected top three shouldn't be that poor.

-- I mean, the grade isn't the be all and end all, but it's usually a reasonable indication, bear in mind that I had trouble when I started a D+ level guy.

Your bench looks solid, Jen as do the starters - although let's see how Mays factors in as a coach.

The D+'ses sorta wave me off a bit from Terry and Sven, but besides that, I'm happy with where the team is at, considering it could have been much, much worse.

Third rookie coach of my FBL career. One was diabolically bad, one was great. Let's see how this goes. xP.

So, doing the whole grade aggregation thing out of curiosity. Each grade = .5, so a D- is a 0.5 and an A+ is a 6. (then dividing by 8 as that is the number of players)

Hayseeds: 3.2
Aces: 3.2
Waves: 3.1
Toppers: 3
Wolves: 2.9
Blades: 2.6
Dragons: 2.4
Bells: 2.3
Glaciers: 2
Spuds: 1.8

Some random things about this all:

Hayseeds and Aces have the same grade... I'd say the Hayseeds have a better team all the way through, given their worst grade is a C-. Aces though, to be fair, do have two of the highest grade players in the league. (possibly THE highest grade players. Depends largely on Colonials, who I can see improving)

Waves seriously grew as a force by comparison to last year, as did the Toppers, adding good players and seeing improvements too.

Spuds aren't terrible tbh, they just lack any standout stars. There have certainly been worse teams in the FBL.

James Cross over Ricky Hallmark and Ty Williams over Clint Danberry?! You're in dreamland Franchy! Front court of 2 A's and an A- over in Virginia - the exact reason I won last year! Hallmark is the best pure PG in the league bar none and Danberry outperformed Shack all last year. I'm backing my front 3 to do serious damage again. Delighted with the way off season has worked out for me.

I'm looking forward to an Allstar game.

Just analyzed the team roster. Your team is good starterwise but the bench is one of the worst if not the worst in the league. That summed it up. They do like your starters a lot and that will be what gets you into the playoffs with the fourth spot.

Hey boss, thanks for seeing me before the team doctors or any of our coaches. Some might say this is something people should have learned about 4 seasons ago, but I assume your a revolutionary GM that doesn't care about team implosion and pissing off your staff.

I forget Roswell but they did like my coaching hires. They said Hans got paid too much, that GM Franchise has some sort of fascination with bringing Massimo to all of his teams, that Cage Daniels isn't the answer, and to not expect much points from Echo Walls. Said to expect a long season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Steven on November 25, 2012, 07:36:33 PM
For Roswell it was discussing the draft errors and what I could've done. They like my coaching hires as well and that to expect a better season from last season but don't expect to accomplish much this season.

Okay, so what happens when James runs out of teams willing to work with him? Players are already hesitant to sign for him, and coaches didn't seem eager to go there. Can he eventually get to a point where he has to hang up his hat and become a spectator?

Pretty much yes. I have to draw the line somewhere I think with someone not being very good at the game and everything I am doing I am trying to be somewhat objective. I recognize a lot of the players/coaches talk to him like shit, but then again he hasnt proven himself as a GM still...only a horrible one with bad decision making. It wasn't something I'd have anticipated that someone would make so many bad decisions and not really learn from it and I like James' enthusiasm (as well as being a nice chap) so it's a tough call, but one I hope I dont have to make.

I understand that. I'm bad at decision making big time. Although I do think I can salvage Boise. It'll take time and I botched it up pretty good yesterday but it'll work. Just have to keep from getting fired...again.  :)

That is my plan and it's already in motion. As you can tell I'm motivating the rookies and am going to build around those five. Hoping to keep the motivation going all season and keep it going into next season.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on November 27, 2012, 05:18:38 PM
The thing is, GM's like Dorling, Hondo, and Blade are able to negotiate their players contracts down because they have a good rapport with their players and agents recognize that. Jon (DnK) hasn't earned any brownie points with the agents and asking them to cut a players wages may not end well. Regardless of how enticing it is to play with Lights and Shack, no one wants to take a pay cut.

I overthought one thing and it spiraled out of control. However I do think what I have could be a lot worse. I do have every position covered, got some decent defensive players, and some guys that I think will exceed expectations. That's the positive. The negative is no big stars, coaches already bolting out the door, and bad moves by me. However I do think this can work out. I really do. The key is keeping McGwire, O'Neal, Morgan, Walls, and Ferndale as a unit. That is the plan now. Plan A is out out the window after last night. Now it's just make it to the end of the season and build on what I've got.

Man, Chase McCrackin was harsh on me during Inside FBL!

'I think Virginia have done a bad job.' 'I don't know why they signed Wally Weasel.'

I'll tell you why Chase, it's because I spent all of my PR money WINNING THE FBL, so I had no money to scout AND had to draft last. Replace a D- guard with a D- guard, replace a C- guard (that has mental problems) with a C- guard (that doesn't) and replace a PF/C that doesn't want to play with one that does. Don't think I did that badly at all...I've gone from having 6 usable players (that won the FBL) to 8.

Won't be an issue. It would have been if I hadn't won it last year. If I hadn't won it, Fletcher would have left Virginia by now. I gambled everything based on winning the league. He took a massive pay cut and was not offered captaincy because he wanted to win the FBL, and his contract was based on a promise that I would get him a ring.

We'll see I guess, but Scotty told me what he wanted and I delivered. He's never once said that he wants the captaincy personally or via his agent. If we keep winning and my front 3 keep playing as well as they are I can't see a problem occurring. Ian is likely to come up with new material to challenge us this season I think.

I'm already offering more than I otherwise would cause of having both Cross and Griffin. Aliens don't need Vraba and don't need Paul.

I am actually really irritated by that. Devine's ignoring logic and asking for a bigger pot. Me offering Breaker IS the bigger pot. -_-

It's often a roll of the dice when you're dealing with coaches/owners, IMO.  There is a human element that sets the FBL apart from simulators, etc...  sometimes coaches value players differently.

I guess. I'm just kind've baffled. I don't get why Devine is so fixated on SGs and PGs when that's the one part of the Aliens line up that is secure.

The last two guys I'd want to ship/displace would be Rivers and Martin.

Because the incentive is on the Aliens to ship Williams. I am not being greedy, I am looking to upgrade my team. Breaker is an upgrade, Class isn't an upgrade but he's at least a capable replacement for a player who is unhappy and wants to leave. Why would I throw one of my best players - and a guy that my coach literally just told me would be a bad idea to replace as captain, into a deal when I don't need to?

Steven does need to ship Williams, but getting capable players in exchange for a star player doesn't make sense. That's why I didn't like TyTy's offer.

Nobody is offering him star players, though.

It's not like it would hurt your team to give up one of you better players. You're getting Williams in return, so I'm sure it wouldn't ruin anything.

None of the teams trying to make a trade needs Williams and two teams will implode if Steven accepts their offer. Don't get so starstruck guys. There is only one team in the running that will actually benefit from this. One team will be meh for this and two teams will implode. I want to see implosions though so I'm not revealing my thoughts on that specifically. The teams in the running should really evaluate what they are trying to do. Just making the offer could set in motion an implosion kinda like Strike did with Shack and Kamil and Steven just did with Williams...

He was okay because he had Leo (who cost a premium) and you treated him with kid gloves.

That's like me trying to claim Cross isn't an issue player because he didn't act up last season. It takes more than one season to deem somebody's baggage gone. Apollo is a landmine that you managed to avoid stepping on, is all.

I had Cage Daniels with a contract you could've dumped after this season to save cap space. Also you don't know about Geek yet. He's only a rookie and the only we know about him is that he is his own agent. You got swindled by Ty.

Yeah but at the same time he's a major step down from Tuck Finch. Remember the nerds thing last year with Moses Franks and the Ballers? That might come up again and cause a disruption if an opposing player is anti-nerd like they were.

Everything we do in this game, whether it be through PMs or in-threads, is fair game to Ian. Just look, Steven never mentioned once in the Roswell thread he wanted to trade Williams. Williams found-out through the grapevine.

You might have missed the point Franchy, I believe the salary needed to be lowered right now, or Lights wouldn't be playing for Vegas this season, so the deal for Cage wouldn't have been beneficial at all.

True.

Oh man. This Williams thing is gonna suck for the three teams who don't land em. I wonder how all those players will feel about being expendable?

Jon, I know it'll probably come back to bite me in the ass, but I felt like Jen's deal was best for my starting line up. We'll have to see what happens now. Maybe I just want to be the next Franchise, who knows.  8)

I just have to get Lights contract extension done and then talk to Coach Byways, then the team. Then I'll lock in.

Question about the whole strategy thing... is there a list of things we can choose from? Or can we make up our own style of offense?

FOr minutes strategy... I see post people put "Play Starters Mostly" or "Rotational Lineup"... for example I would like to rotate two positions around during the game... PG & PF... but play my other 3 (SG, SF, C) mostly.

And in terms of offensive strategy... I've seen "Stallion Offense" what is that? Can we create our own offense? How does that work?

Basically you have three things to decide on each week.

Your style of play. Does your team focus on getting the ball to a few players on offense or does everyone get to play? (focus on a few players or team ball)

Your minutes strategy. Does the starters tough it out and play most of the game or does the bench relieve a lot of minutes? (Mostly starters or rotational policy) As for timesharing a position, maybe. I don't know.

Third you need to set your line-up, and your 6th man, and then what order the 7th and 8th man come off the bench.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on November 28, 2012, 08:35:05 PM

Unfortunately I'm kind've betting the farm on Williams, but such gambles occasionally have to be taken. One thing's for sure... I'm definitely going to have to move Nezorov unless he turns out to be a truly exceptional player, as I just plain won't be able to afford his contract against my cap with some of the upcoming extensions.

Ian, if we trade a player with PR in his contract, and it was spent on their old team, do we get another chance with the money? I took a PR hit with the Yianni trade, so technically I haven't spent his PR money.

Well I mean the money is autospent because it's in his contract, for those of us who make trades with players who have PR, can we repurpose the campaign and change the tagline?

So does our trade push through for week 2? Like it doesnt make sence....call it a "deadline deal".....it happens all the time in the real. Its not like the trade deadline has passed, teams that didn't rush to lock in can still make moves.

I thought all along that we'd have our team pre-trade for week 1 (considering that I locked THAT team in for week 1) and for week 2 we'd have the players from the trade.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Strike on November 29, 2012, 12:02:52 PM
Deadline for trades has always been week 1 and players would always be with the team come week 1 of play prior to the first games of the season. Once you lock in, that basically means you're ready for that week altogether, no trades, no nothing.

Its not like every team was locked in and complete and we did this last second....were still a little aways from everyone being ready for week 1 (Bears)

Its a long and boring task on occassion putting all the stats together and I have stated on more than one occasion why I dont allow trades after the season starts and you locked in.

B) You have been a part of this game since the inception and know this

C) I never forced or told any of you to lock in. That was your choice. I havent pushed anyone on these forums to do that at all. I take great offence to you pulling the 'Judge forums change' card. If you didnt want to lock in before a forum change you didnt have to.

D) Duckman clearly posted on the 26th about Judge's issues/revised time table in a thread you posted in. Your last post was on November 27th so you werent using Judge's lock in thing AT ALL, your just pissed that your not getting your way.

To A) & B) point.....   my teams in the shitter so its no real skin off my back...it was legit my claim to make a case to "give me a break.....barley anyone else has locked in yet" approach. I understand the sim and I dont want to make your life more difficult for a free game.....hence why I said in my post its just a game.....I dont really like how your quick to find offense in my post....been a loyal player since it started, would like to think I have a bit of a rep to be a calm, casual player, and not that of a hot-head or anything man.

C) I didnt see the Judge thing till after....70% of the time I check in on the forums on my phone and its only the FBL page....I only look around the forums when im home on my CPU. Its a fantasy game...im not gonna try and weasel things my way by pulling a "card"...it was legitimately what happened, and if there was a chance to turn the other cheek on the trade, so I said "hey I fucked up and rushed".

So I dont know if you want me out of this game or what, just wanted to defend myself.

My advice would be to hire Jerry as the head coach, and ask one of your bench players (Massimo, if he'd take it) to be a player/assistant. Maybe scoot him a little extra PR money as incentive.

You may need to talk to him anyway. Tell him the situation, explaun that no one else is as qualified for the job as he is. Appeal to him that the team needs him to step up if he would. If he's a competitor and a team player, he'll accept. If not, you may have to think outside the box a little.

Or if all else fails, you could pull an Al Davis and name YOURSELF head coach...

That is the plan now. Hopefully he goes for it but not getting my hopes up.

So guys, Steven is going to try to get Flan on his team. He has almost the cap space (8 million) and tons or PR space (like 7+ million). He could use a B ranked PG.

Only thing is, it would put him at 10 players. So, advice here guys.

Not much to copy paste. He got knocked out by James Cross back when the Toppers were animals and started seeing an imaginary friend call Brian. He also started trying to pass to his imaginary friend on court and causing a lot of turnovers.

This transitioned into hearing voices, seeing stuff in a parrallel dimension (like the NBA and stuff) and then getting nightmares. I cured him for a while but he slipped back into it.

Franchy, I think you've overestimated how easy it will be.

You have the worst coach and the worst team - I don't think you'll win a game this season and will likely be fired!

Plus there's the fact that you've somehow managed to avoid the easy fixes every season and get progressively worse!

I think Ian will give him some time.  This is his first season in Boise.  He should at least get a second to show some progress.  However, it's not going to be an easy fix.  You're going to really have to work hard to fix some of the mistakes you've made.

I know. Bunt bailing didn't help but I screwed myself with the Mu trade and then it spiraled out of control after that. Roswell was an easy fix, yes, but I did have a good top 3 with Rivers, Martin, and Williams to build around. Rest of the team wasn't all that good though especially the bench and coaches which killed me.

Then Franchise would say 'Samsonite...I was way offf....'

Hope Cory comes back to deal with this, because I don't think Toom wants to be acting captain. Nice that Cory wants to move things along and lock in, but this won't end well if he doesn't talk to Toom.

I know he is fine with being captain, but Cory pretty much said for him to just be captain this week(acting captain) and they could deal with it later and thought locking in would just solve he problem. Toom doesn't want to do that.

I don't have a lot of room to give advice - but don't say "we'll talk about that after the season" and then in the next sentence push him.  I haven't done many things right but I think I did well handling Davies - who is a similar player to Johnson.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Yeah, Strike really laid into Boise.

Franchise really needs to sit down with Massimo and find out what he can do to get the guy to produce. If I'm not mistaken, Peters did good last season for the Waves so he needs to get him on his side. Also, plead with Hall to help him out as well.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on December 15, 2012, 01:43:27 AM
Peters is on Tampa. Massimo is pissed over his contract situation. Massimo is the key though. Just need to deal with that issue because it's really killing me scoring wise. I can use the Strike thing to motivate Cage Daniels though considering my past with him.

Call his sister to your office. Then put the hot moves to her. Then let Franks know you shared the sweet meat with her and that should do it.

Post by: Ty on December 21, 2012, 02:13:34 PM
Okay, James. Just straight up, I know you need to do something huge but really... its week 3.

Step 1. Stop calling your team awesome, be realistic.

Step 2. Stop signing Moses Franks to more money than is even remotely... he would have signed for .5 mill, your paying him 4 for 4

Step 3. Come up with goals and a long term plan.

Step 4. Fan Mu and Echo probably will want to stay. End of season, do a Nest-gate and see who want to be traded and who wants to stay. Use your draft picks and hope to God that they are Redford Shacks (or whatever).

Step 5. Know your team probably will suck will you rebuild your rep. Dont make trades on whims, keep your team relatively stable. Dont make any trades unless you have to.

Step 6. When you ignore the first 5 steps, trade me your first round pick and Ill get Chemankocov to quit so you can be my assistant coach
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

BREAKING NEWS: GM Black Death Self Admitted to Hospital, GM Franchise Accused of Drugging Him

Things aren't going great Mississippi after GM Black Death has been acting bizarrly eccentric but a solution to the problem may finally be in sight. Last night, an ambulance was called to the home of Mississippi GM's home after he was found passed out covered in peanut butter with his pants down last night. Two men were reportedly seen leaving his home shortly after who witnesses claim were more than likely the Closeness brothers who just yesterday were released from jail. Regardless, GM Franchise was swiftly arrested despite there being no evidence at all to connect him to the crime. The Boise police had this to say:

"Yep, it was James. We know it. We have proof and everything... yep, we swear we do. Its not like we are just accusing James of a random crime to keep him from ever GMing in the FBL again... we swear."

BD had this to say.

"O ya, must b Jame. That y i act strange this season, I tink I been drug."

Franchise throws money at him
He counter-offers
Franchise then asks about his qualifications
Franchise then throws money at him again
He walks away
Franchise then takes his original counter-offer

As FBL becomes more indepth I would ask for any donations for my time to be made to t_f_w_f_wrestling@hotmail.com via paypal.

I have asked Russ to help with the graphics of the two new teams and two current FBL GMs are looking over the schedule I made for any problems they can see.

Actually TyTy should move to Boise, and Franchise to Hollywood. 

Hollywood would be perfect for Franny.  He could make "decisions" while Biology smile at him and just do whatever the fuck they want.

And If I went to Boise for example I wouldnt cut everyone...hell I drafted McGwire, it was just a hypothetical. I'd try and land Kradle tho in the offseason, since last I spoke with him we seemed to made up and were on good terms.

Basically you have to release players from your team to go into the draft.  Usually it's two.

We protect x amount of players (6 in the past) and the rest get released from their contract to be drafted by the new teams.

I'd protest only having 6 protects...there are enough teams that some can protect 7 and there would still be plenty to choose from.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on December 25, 2012, 10:17:26 PM
2 teams, 8 players, 8 teams in each conference... some people are gonna drop more than 1 but I see it as us each dropping one

I like it. Only change I'd make is Griffin over Harding but that would be it.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on December 30, 2012, 04:08:05 AM
Taking all aspects of the game into account, i.e. Black doesn't get along with Griffin, Griffin plays SG/SF, Harding puts up better points and assists than the PG's available, etc...he wasn't my first choice.

Ty Williams was someone I was thinking about adding as well, since him and Frazier have similar stats, but wasn't sure of his versatility.

Post by: J-Reb on December 30, 2012, 09:18:15 AM
I don't think as it's so much who is going to take the job as who's forced to take it.  Honestly, it might be more in the interest of the game at the moment to allow James to continue on there.  He's fired and gets an immediate roster upgrade for whatever team he takes, even an expansion.  Meanwhile, whoever comes in has a big job to clean up his mess!

Oh I'm so sorry that we only made it to the play-offs three times under me. Y'know, quadrupling the number of Wolves play-off appearances. What a tool. It's easy to slag off someone after they're gone.

I think its more of a question of why Franchise who is incredibly shit at this game should be given a chance to start YET again because he cant put a team together. If another person applied to play this game as stated I'd have to give loosing him a lot of thought. But since they havent I cant do that nor am I actively wanting to do that to him.

So yeah is it fair he is fired from Boise and gets a relative clean slate with someone else? I personally dont think so given how badly he has screwed Boise.

Yo...its time for me to talk right now. My legitimate business empire has put this great basketball team on the map and well this TyTy guy he didnt deliver nothing to Hollywood except get us in the bedroom with those freaky science geeks. So effective next season I am getting the equivalent of the Iron Lady of basketball in here yo...all business GM Jen. I have already come to terms with the deperature of Coach Leo and will use the expansion draft to release Kadeon Apollo, Jordan Brandon and other players linked with the science freaks. Next year we are hiring the glitz and glamour to bring basketball back to the big screen here in Hollywood...

Anyway I had an interesting...I guess that's the word...conversation with Reggie, which boils down to him mentioning being aroused at a few things. This concerns me a little bit. Maybe he's feeling some pressure about being thrust into the starting line-up, I personally don't know. Can you keep a closer eye on him this week Coach Robinson? If something is causing him undo stress, I'd rather he not have a breakdown say...in the middle of a game this week.

I guess it depends on how you look at it... In your opinion I should wait for it to become an issue before dealing with it, but that usually is when it is too late. Going by what you would do, in my opinion, makes it seem like I'm ignoring the situation and hoping it doesn't end up blowing up in my face.

I already got my coaches seeing as they're migrating from Tampa to Texas, so not too big of a deal.

Post by: Domingo on January 02, 2013, 06:09:50 PM
not a bad idea, but it was more about remembering a few seasons ago when I think Blade rested his starters a bit more against certain teams to make sure they were fresh for the playoffs. he went on to win that season, which is why I thought about it. if it bites me in the butt, so be it. I just wanted to make sure I dont ignore the players stamina even if they arent injured.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on January 02, 2013, 06:28:35 PM
I think the key thing here is that the season has only just started - nobody needs a rest yet.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on January 02, 2013, 06:53:56 PM
He only rested Dom Robinson and Maurice Mays since they were older to save them for the playoffs. That is the key to it. If they don't need the rest then the player might get upset.

QuoteWe'll be going against the Wolves and Glaciers. With a full team, I really don't see a reason as to why we can't win these games. We've beaten the Wolves before and after the firing of their GM, there probably will be some issues with the team still. We can more than likely pick up a win there. If we do our best, we can certainly beat the Glaciers as well. If we get two wins this week, we'll be in a VERY close run for playoffs, and that's what I expect out of us. Let's hope for the best this week!

My prediction:

The Aliens have 4 games against GMless teams and a game against Montana and Seattle each. I can see them going 4-2.

Season end, both the Aliens and Stars will be sitting at 6-8 with the tie breaker going to Roswell.

I think the best way to figure out how it works is to look over some of the team threads and the stickies in here and in the archives. That's what I've done in preparation for joining the game but I'm sure the best way to understand the game is to play and experience what goes on.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on January 05, 2013, 06:46:35 PM
Basically, you're the General Manager of a team. You're responsible for putting together a team by hiring coaches and players, and then you're responsible for dealing with all the bullshit that arises.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on January 05, 2013, 06:50:18 PM
So lets say this

Dorling is GM of the fantasy basketball team, the Virginia Colonials. On his team, he has 8 players, a coach and an assistant coach. Each have their own personalities, skills, quirks and ways of being happy or angry. Dorling must manage each of their salaries, keep them happy, and get the right pieces in place to make them successful. For some players, it could be paying them money, others could be paying for a male order wife, others could just avoiding all drama. Each player and coach is unique.

Now, Dorling has a budget of 45 million for his 8 players salaries and 13 million in 'pr' funds for his coaches salaries, scouting, and anything else that could happen.

Dorling is the only GM that can post in the Virginia thread. That thread is for his interactions with his team. If he wants to contribute to the in char aspect of the game, it must be done in that thread. The ooc thread is us just having fun and discussing, the trade thread is where we discuss trades. The future deal thread is where we sign off on the trades or sign off on spending money. The news thread is where Ian posts most anything that happens with our teams like for example, a player getting arrested or a coach being involved with a scandal.

Each week starts with the results from the previous week. After that we answer the questions asked by the 'media' at the post game press conference. Then, we discuss the week with our coaches to gain insight into everything that transpired behind the scenes. After that, we deal with crap and build relationship with our team until we have to lock in the roster and stratagy for the week.

Off season, there is a player draft and we get to sign and trade players to build our team. Each player interacts differently with each other so its a game of learning each player and keeping on the ball. The coaches are invaluable as they see things we can't.

Dorling and Franchise are the polar ends of the system right now. Franchise can't handle the budget as well, his players dont like him, his coaches aren't helpful, and he doesn't handle the media well. His team hasn't won in two years and he's been fired a bunch. Dorling on the other hand managed his budget well, kept his players happy and made Virginia into a team that every player wants to play for. Because of this, he was able to win the FBL Championship and is very likely on his way to another hugely successful season. That being said, one mistake and his entire team might blow up.

Its a very deep, fun game.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on January 05, 2013, 06:53:52 PM
Oh yes, important detail. If you make the player happy and do all the right moves, they play well for you.

If you dont... Franchise's team scored 12 points in a game last week. While most teams get between 80-120 a game.

Moral is a huge factor

moral is a booster that can make good teams , play great

Post by: Ty on January 05, 2013, 07:06:52 PM
That would have done it.

@Mike, the signs are all there. If you ignore an issue, it will probably explode on you. Like say, Coach mentions play X has a limp and I ask player X and he says, nah im fine and then he gets hurt because I didnt act on it. Well, thats gonna blow up in my face.

A good example came this off season. One of the players of a team blew out his knee. The GM talked to the doctor about it and the doc said he would have to retire. The GM talked to the player and the player thought he would recover. Now, two options would be to take the docs side or take the players side. The GM however, asked the player to become assistant coach for next season as they sought out more medical opinions and if they found a way to recover his knee, he could become a player coach as well. Team moral skyrocketed because of how well that situation was handled.

Had the GM just said, sorry bro, your done, moral would have plummetted. Had the GM said, nah, youll be fine, lets get more opinions, it would have blown up.

I think I get it, sounds like fun.  One question is, HOW is it done?  Does Ian make up each scenario and decide the outcomes himself?  Is there some sort of program that he uses/follows?  Something else that I don't understand?

For example, how is it determined that XXX Player has a bad knee?  How is it decided that Team A beats Team B by 4 points?  The mechanics of it, basically.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on January 05, 2013, 08:21:48 PM
Ok so the draft is up. What can you do and cant you do right now:

- Your men being sent to the expansion draft is determind. Dont whine and bitch. Shit happens, the company didnt freeze in time while you were busy moving your family into a studio apartment waiting to start next season and finding out where your fat kid can go to a private school and not be bullied because his Dad or Mum is doing a shit job as a GM of the cities basketball team.

- Outside the two expansion teams who will pick 1 and 2 respectively, the draft lottery is in place for the teams which did not make the post season. The worse you record the more chance you will have of the highest pick ie number 3 in this case. In the event that two teams are equally shit in terms of record and from different divisions I will put the same amount of 'balls' in the lottery for them.

- In terms of teams who have made the playoffs I will flip a coin to see who goes before who if they have the same record.

- Right now all auto-locked teams may begin talking trades, confirming trades for next season and doing what they want much like non locked teams. Once a deal is decided on and confirmed in the trade discussion thread by both parties, one member of the party needs to put it in the future deal thread. You can trade Season 11 draft picks and Season 12 ones (ie future draft picks), but nothing further in the future. You can also trade players as well. I am not posting team sheets as grades are altering during the season. You will have to rely on stats and other info being posted to work out what a player is worth to you. I will advise salaries if asked in a PM as well as years to run on contracts.

- No auto-locked team may approach a coach or player about signing for them. You are only playing with yourselves...pardon the pun.

- You may use your budget from this season to scout players. If your team has no Assistant Coach from Season 10 or one that has been fired it is incredibly unlikely he is going to help you out, but if he moved onto pastures green he might do you a favour before he goes.

STARS: Chemankocov still with team
STALLIONS: Marcelo quit team due to Sui firing
WOLVES: Calamenta still with team till end of season has limited reports due to promotion
DRAGONS: Davies now with Texas left on good terms
GLACIERS: Watchen still with team
STEAMERS: Brown contract extended stil with team


Please future deal scouting reports you want to see and make sure its within the budget. None of Season 11's PR budget can be used for scouting reports. The expansion teams have 6 freebies each.

Well technically...as much as it pains me to do this...if there is a genuine interest then I havent had Franchy fired because well...there wasnt enough interest, but realistically he should have been fired as I have said all along.

I certainly don't feel Powers shouldn't play because it costs Franchise his spot in the game, because if anyone wanted to play that would happen, but thats kind of where I am at. I have to play this game as the moderator as realistic as I can do and nobody would keep a GM on who hasnt won a game in 2 seasons and all the other stuff which has happend...

Mike the choice is yours. If you wanna play you can do.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on January 05, 2013, 10:28:20 PM
Damn, this is like Sophies Choice, LOL. 

The way I feel is this: Yes, a real life GM would get fired under these circumstances, but this is not real life, it is a game which is meant to be fun.  And in all honesty, it wouldn't be fun for me if I knew that I ousted someone I view as a friend, when they really wanted to stay. 

So, I guess what I am saying is, I wanna hear what James has to say, before I make a decision.

Thank for that Powers. :)

Well I can see why I'm the chopping block. I've managed to find new ways to screw up every season every season especially this curent season. However I would be interested to see if I can turn around one of my teams after a bad season. Didn't get a chance to turn things around in Roswell and Boise is an even bigger challenge than that. Considering I'm a big time Clippers fan and they were a disaster when I was growing up but now have turned things around I think it'd be the huge deal if I could turn a team this bad around over a few seasons. I mean that (turning the Spuds around) would be the biggest challenge of all in this game going by how bad the team is right now.

No matter what Powers chooses to do I'm fine with it. Maybe run a small Spanish team or something before coming back to run the San Quentin Showerpals in Season 13. :D

Thanks for the opportunity to let me say something before deciding, Powers. +1 for that. :)

Maybe Powers can work with James instead (but leave final decision to Powers lol)

Otherwise, James could bow out and do some dirt sheets OOC. Hell James could be a parody of himself and offer bad advice to everyone in blog form. Maybe (for his benefit) he can ask some of the better GMs in the league why they do the things they do. I think if James isn't playing for a season he can learn to be better when he just has to observe.

I guess my question is, for those who the team has not sought to renew contracts with, my assumption is that those players would more than likely not want to be a part of the squad if you tried to renegotiate once Season 11's preseason/draft is under way, I assume?

Nonetheless, should be a pretty nice challenge. The protected pieces for Texas are a good block to start building around.

In regards to the whole Powers/Franchise thing, I think I have put Mike in a shitty position now.

Franchise, you deserve to be fired from the Spuds plain and simple. Going to put the big boy pants on here now. If there is an interest of another GM joining the game then you wouldnt be hired by another team right now based on that.

Sorry, but it is what it is, or it loses all sense of realism if we feel sorry enough to keep a guy in the game then whats the point of firings and hirings, you have nothing to aspire for.

You will go away and GM an unknown team in Spain where you will in 'FBL eyes' gain back a little credibility.

Start looking at who you want to draft.

Don't listen to the other GM's who want to trade you players for your draft picks. Keep them. Unless of course they are trading you a star player for them.

Look at the Season 10 Results thread and start looking at some of the released players stats. Keep an eye out on who you'd like to pursue when the offseason comes around.

Look at the draft prospects, figure out how much money you have to scout (ask Franchise or Ian) and begin making a draft board of sorts.

Get familiar with how the game is played. Watch good GM's and see how they approach questions and situations. Ask questions. You guys (new peeps) have it a little better then when I joined. You have time to get your questions answered and ease your way into it. I joined right as free agent signing opened up... I was so lost, haha.

Start from the beggining of the Boise thread and read. Learn it's history... what not to do, etc.

Mike, I made list of released players in this thread a page ago. Pm with James about it, his decision making hasn't been the greatest but his knowledge on the game is invaluable. After you've read a season of What dorling did, have James go over said list with you. Figure out a plan with him. The players I didnt attach grades to are the d rank players, I'm not good enough to fill you in on which have potential or not, i focused that list on What was graded high and red flags only. But again, a team of well used c players in theory beats a team of mis used b players.

Sorry Powers but that's a shite deal.

-- Someone who couldn't really hack it as a starter, single-handedly threw away the Aces' season 9, and has just had a news story about going on a wild bender as a focal point of the team?

I'll reserve judgement I s'pose. Just think that Flash has consistently underperformed in a starting role.

Won't shed tears to see Griffin and Williams out of the Western conference  :P. We're gonna get stomped in the next all star game.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on January 06, 2013, 08:13:57 PM
To say the least I was surprised when I was approached by him about Flash. I thought I lost the opportunity to get a deal for him after James was fired.

Hopefully a change in scenery is what Flash needs. Get out of the bright lights of Vegas.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on January 06, 2013, 08:20:17 PM
Also, according to the future deals thread, James has already traded my 2nd round pick to the Steamers. I have the Stars 2nd rounder (which is the one I traded for Flash), which will be significantly less valuable.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on January 06, 2013, 08:21:37 PM
No, because you're depending on luck of the draw for non-playoff picks. Should have waited till after the draft order is released.

No problem at all. I usually have been saving those up in a specific FBL folder since Season 9 so I can access the info whenever.

Do believe I linked the free agents one over on the free agents thread as well, if anyone needs that (although that's BEFORE most of us went crazy with Spanish players and swaps and etc).

Vegas, one of the teams Hollywood have to face just beat Anchorage, a team Hollywood just beat by 5, by 2. If Hollywood beats Vegas in the unlikeliest of scenerios, it could be a tie for the final spot between Aliens and Stars. Aliens would get the playoff spot though. Its a long shot but I just want to see it happen once for the thread sake

That definitely won't happen. Vegas put 106 points past the FBL runners up this week, the GMless teams averaged about 70 points. Hollywood only got 82 themselves.

Nah, I see that as an easy issue to work out. Had Strike been more open,I think they could have built a strong relationship. 'Haters will hate, you will always be Bolak Huir. It doesnt matter your name, who you are matters. Now go make your name mean something!'. I think that would have worked

Yeah...except the part where I did and we got back to .500 on Week 3. >_____>

Bolak and I got along okay. It was amusing. Hell of a guy you got in your hands, though, Ty.

Well, we'll consider the fact it's a deep draft class and that by high, it could easily be in the 3-8 range. Which...not entirely all that bad. But what spot one lands on is nowhere near guaranteed at all until the lottery itself happens and Ian has the order up and ready for us come the season's end.

So I'm just sitting patiently here at this point and seeing what the heck happens next. =)

So much for that. The one sided loss to the Wolves settled the Stars fate for the season.

Even with my implosion, I'll be a playoff team. And you never know, maybe I can somehow turn this around.

This off-season is your chance to rebuild. Your not Blade, a large reason Blade found so much success is because of the relationship he had with the players and how they played for him. You lost that team when he left, those two retirements shook the team. Relax, rebuild, and with Eddie and Redford, come back and kick ass :)

Honestly, I didn't know Flash was that big of a problem. Only reason I started him because I didn't know how good Mazuka was going to be. And the only reason I kept him in the starting position was because I didn't want to piss him off and kill the team chemistry. In the end, the coach wanted him gone... and Mazuka wanted to start or be traded. So in the end, I had to fuck the team chemistry. However, where I fucked up royally, was not even talking to him about it... and trading him mid-season... but oh well. Lessons that I needed to learn. Like Ty said, I'll need to rebuild and get a bench to work with next year so I'm not just relying on 2 guys producing. But, I'm gonna have to be smart about it as 33 mill of my salary goes to both Shack and Lights.

Not really mate, cause the pdf would have edited values of players evolvement during the season. I would however be willing to say you have not future dealed the Timms stuff so he is still on a 1.5 million 1 year deal.

Your salaries are 42.5 million out of a possible 45 million

PR is 10.25 million our of a possible 13 million (not including Timms extension obviously)

Scott Fletcher has a 3 million pr campaign
Ricky has a 2 million pr campaign

QuoteHallmark - 10 (2)
Daugherty - 3.5 (4)
Fletcher - 10.75 (3)
Elbomu 0.75 (1)
Danberry 11 (5)

I vote, especially for MVP based on a player's resume. You can have great stats but if you're on the Spuds well you really didn't do shit for your team for example. MVP, DPoY, 6MoY, RoY, is not just about stats but what the player did to make their team better.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on January 20, 2013, 09:29:03 AM
Ok so the season is over...this is how it is going to work for those teams not involved in the playoffs...

1. You may start to talk to coaches and staff, be mindful most are on vacation so probably not the best idea to be all over them, but if you want to start making inroads to signing coaches etc. you can do.

2. You can negoiate with a playoff team ONLY if they are unlocked. IE one of their coaches etc.. Once they are locked it ceases to negoiate. Further to this once all playoff teams are locked in all chatter is suspended.

3. You are free to discuss with the owners the expansion draft, players have already been submitted so you cant pull them out of that, but you could put more players in if you wanted. Hopefully that makes sense.

4. You dont need to use PR for the awards thing...I thought that was pretty clear.

5. If you make any alterations to the expansion draft players ie adding one you must future deal it. If you dont I wont know its happened.

6. Coaches if agreed to sign for you wont start work till Season 11, so dont go saying 'what do you think of this and that' as soon as you sign them. They will tell you to go fuck yourself.

7. I will be announcing the draft lottery shortly. Stay tuned.

What's wrong with Vlad? He coached a team to an FBL championship and aside from being a slight bit batshit crazy, all he wants as far as I can tell is a GM he can respect and some players that can potentially win.

Nothing, the opposite actually. Nice pickup, as long as you keep up being firm.

Vlad was a great pickup for that team.  It's just a matter of avoiding the land mines with him.

Fender will prove to be valuable in scouting reports.  Well done.

Just for my clarity sake, do all the expansioned players go into free agency and the expansion draft picks from that pot or are they two seperate pots?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on January 22, 2013, 11:49:39 AM
All the same, and whats left after the expansion teams is what we can try and get.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on January 22, 2013, 11:50:48 AM
What do you mean?

Players that are not protected are not 'free agents.' Free agents are guys without a contract.

The question should be - are the the guys that are currently free agents and have been all year going into the expansion draft?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on January 22, 2013, 11:55:59 AM
Im pretty sure its who ever is without a team, so unprotected players that havent gone overseas and last years free agents are all in the expansion.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on January 22, 2013, 12:01:28 PM
Seems a bit excessive considering the huuuuuge amount of guys getting expansionised this season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on January 22, 2013, 12:05:51 PM
That's what I thought - this isn't how league expansion works in Pro Sports, or so I thought. In American sports doesn't the player have a central contract with the league, so while still under that contract he can be unprotected and deployed to new teams to expand the competition?

Free agents would be outside of that agreement as they don't have a contract with anybody.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on January 22, 2013, 12:44:49 PM
only players in the expansion pool  can be pick in the expansion draft ...  meaning the players that teams put in , each team giving least 2 players ... been like since we started .

once the draft is over , the players left over in the pool not pick become free agents and can be signed by any team...
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on January 22, 2013, 12:49:19 PM
Ty... the expansion players not pick become free agents ... ones  release  from there contracts are just that release and are not in the expansion draft
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on January 22, 2013, 12:56:28 PM
I guess what Im wondering is if the expansion teams have access to free agents during the draft
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on January 22, 2013, 12:58:25 PM
yes ...

but after there expansion draft is over

once the college draft starts , they will have chance to sign free agents same as everyone
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: J-Reb on January 22, 2013, 01:45:51 PM
BD is right.  Free agents do not go in the expansion pool. 
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on January 22, 2013, 03:02:15 PM
The expansion pool is for all free agents, but obviously both teams are limited to who they can sign and salary will be a factor as well. Both Rob and Josh will have to plan for high draft picks wanting high cash and also sign the players to fit around them from the Free Agency pool.

The question for this off season are the teams going to roll the dice on a lot of nice FAs again or throw themselves into the draft...

Should be interesting

Can I also ask that those who dont have anymore use for PR this season let me know in their threads by talking to the PR woman or man so I can begin to move players to free agency. So if you are scouted up for the draft and have used your stuff then thats great.

Also those who havent used money for scouting please start looking at this ASAP so I can as I have said start moving things around for Season 11.

I'll need to wait until after the playoff game so I can speak to Conrod. I also need to address the Fletcher situation with him because if I trade Fletcher away I'll have to use my scout report to pick up likely replacements. Basically, I don't know what I'm doing until I'm out of the playoffs.

I see it as a pretty fair trade but, to be honest, with Vegas having Joey/Joy, I dont see how that benefits them. I say actually Anchorage got the better hand out of that deal and I dont even see Hardaway as someone who can benefit them too much

Chi Chi will be a nice edition off my bench, which was my weak point this season. Now I have two PG's that can play, a huge plus for me, in my opinion. Not to mention, Chi Chi can swing and play SG as well.

Chi Chi is a nice two guard. Vegas definitely got the better end of this deal. I think Chi Chi is a much better overall player than Hardaway. His 8 assists a game are going to be a big loss for Anchorage unless they get a top level point guard either via trade or in the draft.

I see Reb's method to his madness given the draft and then there's fact Chi Chi is versatile and should help the Vegas bench.

Honestly think it's a good move for both and I'm glad to seeing the Spaniard get a good home. He was money for me during my time in Anchorage.

Chi Chi is going to be a sixth man of the year candidate. The guy averages 8 assists a game and 9 points. Hardaway averages the same point totals but is weak in the other categories. Unless something magical happens I don't see that changing unless he's in the right system.

You and I are in the same boat with Asst. Coaches... I'm not sure who to talk to. I tried my Top 3.

Also, Mike...

Your salary cap would only be Flash Davis and Eddie Lights.
Flash - (Not 100% on this) was worth $3 mill over 2 years.
Eddie Lights was $16.5 over 6 w/ $3.5 in PR.

That would give you $25.5 million in cap room. (Flash might have been $2 million though, which would give you an added $1 mill.)

Self destruction is what happened to Hollywood & Boise last year.

I'm doing what I should have done when I took over the GM spot, start a new. Lights had no respect for me, he, along with Shack also ate up too much of my cap space to get anyone worth a damn around them to help out. Now I have the 3rd pick, 11th pick, and 26th pick in a talent rich draft class. I think Vegas will be alright. We'll be young next year, but it'll at least be my team... not Blade's.

Normally I would... but I wanted that 3rd pick.

I probably should have waited to see if at least Josh or Rob had any interest, but if I was them, I wouldn't budge from the top 2 picks. I'm more than content with my decision.

I would have said no to Cory's 1st and 2nd pick for next season, which would have been unknown and I doubt the draft class would be as highly touted as the one for Season 11. I needed something in return for this season for Lights. I felt like Pick 3 in the draft was as good as I was going to get. I'll be able to start fresh and build around Shack now.

But how is it going to look to the Vegas management, for their already under-pressure GM to be trading away a championship winning player - one of the only remaining pieces to the puzzle that won said championship, a multi-time all FBL SG and perennial MVP candidate?

Mull that one over.

Are you suggesting I might get some company in Mexico?  :P

It was a risk I had to take. Keeping him on the roster would have ended up costing me my job next season anyway. He doesn't like me, that he made clear at season's end. With him and Shack on my salary, I couldn't afford to get the pieces around them to form a Championship contender. I did what I had to do. If management wants to give me the boot still, then I at least set the next GM up with something good.

Well, with the picks you have you should be able to find a SG that can score the points Lights did, as well as give you the defense Lights provided...the thing is knowing which one can do that. The thing about scouting reports, is that your asst coaches let you know how the particular players fit in your system, so getting one from someone else may not be beneficial to you as much as it would be the GM that offers it to you.

Being honest, in the theoretical situation where I was GM of Vegas at the end of the season, I think that I would've had my mind on trading away Lights too. Don't blame Jon for it necessarily but with his job security bad already it wasn't a good idea.

Thoooough there was probably a better balance to be found with the personnel Vegas had. Team chemistry was woeful.

Ok so I am uploading the Championship addition of Inside the FBL

it will reveal:

- winner of Season 10
- notes on the teams going forward

right now unfortunately Jon was as they say in FM very insecure as GM and the Lights thing tipped him over the edge. Therefore he has been 'fired'

Jen has been offered the Aces job which she can choose to accept or decline. Please can all those requiring coaches and scouting reports and to also protect their six or indeed negoiate contracts with their players move it along because I need to also put together the free agency list for the expansion draft.

Trying to tie together as many loose ends as I can.

As far as I can work out we need the following to happen:

I owe some scouting reports I believe to Seattle, Kentucky, Virginia which I can get sorted. Also Puerto Rico and Montana will have their off seasons protected 6 to do and whatever else is on their agenda.

Tampa Bay do not have a coaching staff which needs to be addressed

Las Vegas are GMless as well as Assistant Coachless as well, Jen has declined the offer to join them and the offer has been made to Steven. If Steven rejects they will offer Domingo and then Bone in that order.

Jon and no doubt Franchise will fight it out for the vacant team that presents itself.

I will then hopefully have a full list of the expansion players availble which is growing. There might be some colour coding things on there which if you ask me I can explain, it will probably reference retirement or indeed assigned to a foreign team.

Josh will pick first, Rob second. Once both teams have filled up their rosters to what they want to do (ie they can pass at any stage) we will start the college draft.

All coaches and players will be on vacation as soon as the expansion draft starts. You deal with agents only. The rest of the league can only speak to agents about free agents ONCE the expansion draft is finished.

Hopefully we will have some resolution soon. Thank you all for another wonderful season of FBL and congratulations to the Champions.

Hello Mr Diamond,
My apologies fall calling out of the blue but I would like to apply for the vacant position as GM of the Las Vegas Aces. As you know, I have a winning record in the FBL and a championship ring to my name. I feel like I might have got stale in Virginia and I would love to take up the challenge of returning the Aces to their glory days. I would also like to try my hand in the Western Conference.

My offer would include some caveats and I would like to do the following, should you be interested in hiring me.

As you know, Eddie Lights and Flash Davis have been traded away for picks, and Chi Chi Gonzalez is coming in for Larry Hardaway.

I would like to protect Redford Shack, Joey Mazuka and Da Odemwuyio alongside those, authorising a trade for Odemwuyio for Clint Danberry before my departure, meaning that we can set up with Danberry at PF alongside Shack at C – ferocious.

That would leave us with 4 draft picks, including number 3 overall, and a decent amount of cap room. I work on a team ethic and look for loyal players who will give it all for the cause. Should Shack's wages look to become a problem in terms of cap space, I may ask Falls to renegotiate – the loss of Lights' PR gives us some wiggle room with Nigel there, but I am hoping that we can avoid the need.

As you can see, I've given it some thought, and in contacting you I've likely placed my position at the Colonials in jeopardy, which should give you some indication of my desire to work in a city that I am personally very fond of.

I look forward to hearing from you.   

GM Dorling.

They already have Joey and Chi Chi, Ricky as well would also create budget issues because 3 players would be on 37m.

Plus, like Dom said, if I take all my players and stuff with me, where's the challenge?

Also, he hasn't hired me yet. Next scenario is he says no and Virgil fires me.

Couldn't find information - Roswell, Puerto Rico, Montana, Seattle


That's the list I've started but still missing a few teams.  Got caught up at work in the middle of putting it together (who knew I'd actually have to work at work?)  But it's a start.

*Edited to include Matt Foster, Bamba Smalls and Fernando

This is accurate. Tiny Scott is in there, McGwire is a PG/SG. Don't have the info on the other Roswell expansioned player. The other three teams I don't remember.

There is no second Roswell player in the draft as our Player Coach Stimar retired from playing to become strictly a coach.

You might not get the chance again.  It could be a season or two before another GM slot opens.

Way I see it, Domingo Was only gonna sign for 7 million (maybe it was 6)......and 2 years might help him since of my bad rep. Short term, and if I can improve my reputation, hopefully resigning wont be a problem. But I need a good head coach, no a insane maniac.

Right looking through this...and note if you are doing deals confirm them!

BEARS: LIORADA AND DALLAS DONT HAVE CONTRACTS FOR NEXT SEASON
DRAGONS: DONT HAVE AN ASSISTANT COACH
BLADES: PUNDER'S CONTRACT HAS EXPIRED
VOLCANOES: HAVENT APPOINTED ANYONE
ALIENS: MARTIN AND GEORGE DONT HAVE CONTRACTS FOR NEXT SEASON
VIRGINIA: NO GM NOR HEAD COACH


Captain Josh since this is kind of an open forum I am starting to wonder whether he has the time to keep pace with the game. We also have an opening in Virginia we need to fill as well. I am going to start employing the lock in rule sooner or later for some of this stuff because its dragging on a bit. I have a free agents and coaches free agents thing I cant post until I know what folks are doing with the above.

So if you see someone online badger them to get going with this.

Captain Josh since this is kind of an open forum I am starting to wonder whether he has the time to keep pace with the game. We also have an opening in Virginia we need to fill as well. I am going to start employing the lock in rule sooner or later for some of this stuff because its dragging on a bit. I have a free agents and coaches free agents thing I cant post until I know what folks are doing with the above.


James?

I have obviously no problems with Franchise playing the game, lovely lad. Just got to give Josh the benefit of the doubt, but unlike Rob he hasnt actually done anything really and if he hasnt got time to devote it will slow the game down.

Accurate description is accurate.

That is mixed in with the free agent list.  They can only select from guys who were exclusively put in the expansion draft list.

Newb question.

On the free agent list, certain players are highlighted different colors (red, yellow, etc).  What dat mean?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

They are with teams outside the FBL. Barcelona, Madrid, and Tijuana (Franchise's team)

It does make a difference.  Teams send those players over their to build relationship with those teams for future instances.  For example, I drafted Mo Daniels a couple of seasons ago and sent him to that team.  So in the future I can contact that team and potentially get him or another player from over there because I've created a working relationship with them.  HOpe that makes sense.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on January 24, 2013, 05:18:08 PM
So, if a player isn't doing very well, I can send him to Barcelona.  Is that considered a trade (ie, I have his roster spot and cap room), or is he still on the roster, to be called back up at any time?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on January 24, 2013, 05:19:44 PM
The teams contact you, Mike. you can't just call them up and say, hey I'm going to give you this guy. It has to be someone they are interested in.

And more times than not, if one of the teams contact you to acquire a player, it's best to send that player so you can build that relationship.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on January 24, 2013, 05:21:59 PM
You can approach them though, and that is met with varied success. It really depends on your approach, you as a GM, and what you have to offer.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on January 24, 2013, 05:22:08 PM
For the newbies with expansion teams, the guys Franchise recommends are Apollo, Kradle, Foster, Stream, Vraba, Walls, Chachenko, Paul, Walton, Weasel, Cross, Giankonopolis, Free, Johnson, Peters, Smalls, Scott, Huffers, and Frame in that order.

Ian just indicated in the shouty we could get in touch with Spanish teams and open negotiations ourselves, actually...

[Jan 24 16:08:42] T-Dungeon Master:How would I, never haven't dealt with Spain before, be able to possibly deal with Spain?

For the newbies with expansion teams, the guys Franchise recommends are Apollo, Kradle, Foster, Stream, Vraba, Walls, Chachenko, Paul, Walton, Weasel, Cross, Giankonopolis, Free, Johnson, Peters, Smalls, Scott, Huffers, and Frame in that order.

Walls higher than Chachenko and Walton? You're mental.

Actually that's was a mess up. He should be behind those two and maybe Giankopolis too. Somewhere in the middle just for defensive purposes.

I would put Vraba far down that list, impossible to keep happy for more than one game. Then he tries to commit suicide.

Walton carried a team on his shoulders and is a solid player, I'd have him higher up the list. Chachenko is beastly in defence. James Cross is also now broken so approach with caution, put him further down the list. Sparky Weasel is a good pick up if he has some physicality around him, Bamba Smalls is a solid pro. Walls has so far been a bust, take him above the likes of Chachenko, Walton, Paul and Weasel at your own risk.

Also what Jen said about you being mental :)

Chechenko is also 30. Age was a factor in this as well.

More like Kradle, Stream, Apollo, Chachenko, Walton, Giankololopolis, Paul, Peters, Weasel, Huffers, Free, Cross, Johnson, Smalls, Wall, Scott, Frame, Vraba, Foster.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Chechenko is too low, Kradle and Stream too high, Walton maybe a tad too low.

Just for the record any new guy thinking Franchy has the answers and is wise...he failed to win a game for 2 seasons with 2 different teams. He destroyed the Toppers franchise and also almost broke the game/stat simulator his Boise side was that bad.

And he also traded to obtain the unknown 8 million dollar paid Ecko Walls...and despite being told DONT DO THE TREEMAN OFFENSE...which was a joke offense...he did it in the process of telling Tony Massimo he was effectively Michael Jordan.

So yeah...he's not exactly the FBL's version of Jimmy the Greek

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on January 24, 2013, 05:47:28 PM
There are only a couple of bits of advice you need to play this game:

-Use common sense
-Don't get excited and trade just because it's fun
-Have a plan and stick to it
-Don't completely disregard your owners wishes

Classic examples of doing the wrong thing:

-Cory hiring a coach then trying to veto the deal because he got his head turned
-Ty setting himself a new job with a great team and the best coach at the time, but then trading away all of the players he had kept for no reason whatsoever, losing his coach and losing his job
-Dom talking about the expansion draft and destroying team morale
-Strike annoying his star player because he got a sniff at Shack
-James hiring Moses Franks for more money than Conrod Class
-James signing someone he knew nothing about that was earning 8m

Doing the right thing:

-Hondo hiring the Closeness brothers (before they went criminal)
-Justin scouting Xavi
-Jag putting his foot down with Malone
-Blade/Me having a strong team core and sticking with it
-Most things James has done.

Just be sensible folks, the game isn't rocket science. I know nothing about basketball other than the ball goes in the hoop, so if I can win then anybody can.

For clarity's sake, Nestgate happened in the first place because Cory had a deal in place then tried to change it to less money, as he thought that coach's salaries came from salary cap, not PR budget.

I was hoping to use Matt Foster in that spot.... Is he more a SF?

I'd say so, yes. Going by his stats from last season he's better suited for the SF position than the PF. Hopefully he can get more rebounds this season because he had a low average in that category last season which is why I think he's better at the SF position.

PF/C   Shakers Lee   3   9,000,000      
PG   Massimo Torre   3   3,000,000

Rattle not playing is a big loss but I think you'll go deep in the playoffs. Filling out your roster with the right guys will be the key to this season. You definitely need a SF and a third PF/C or PF to fill out your big man rotation.

There is a reason for this, and that's because in the East overall the SF position is stronger than the PF position. So when Foster was playing SF he was matched up against guys like Mutu Mukwaza, Scott Fletcher, Dave Johnson...and when he was PF he was matched up against such big names like...Sabba....Cook....

Ah, that makes sense. I think Foster is one of those guys that it depends on the match up for what position to play him in.

Reggie Jones SF __
Yanni Gillsokanis PF 5.5m
Blue Reed C 9m

Bobby Band PG 3m
Zizac Rekov PF/C 500k
Randy Ferndale SG/SF 2m

I still got 16m cap tho no idea what Reggie will cost me but I think he'll be the top scorer from the draft outside of Cunnigham. I looked at 4 different reports and seemed legit. Give Yani some fitness training this offseason so he can jump from 6th man to starter. Like my FA pick ups for my bench too. Rekov was gettig like 12-14pts a game for Jag off the bench for 500k and Ferndale was getting 8-12 a game for Boise.

PF Chris Jones 1 year/$6m
C Ty Williams 4/$14m

SG/SF Paul Wheeter 1 year/$3m

Total salary - $34.5m

A work in progress.

I like this roster but the SGs are weak. I recommend resigning one as a back up for next season or drafting one. your big men and Scott are guys that I like. SG is the clear weakness. Walton is a strong leader and so is Williams. Jones is a guy who you should resign. He was one of the three best players on the team last season. With the guys whose contracts are expiring signing him to an extension should be an offseason priority or do it before this season starts. Jones and Williams will be a moster frontcourt. Keep them intact and you will go far if you draft well and pick up a scorer next season in the draft. Not a 20 point guy per say but a 10-15 pt guy.

EDIT:
Las Vegas trades #11th overall pick for SG Larry Hardaway.

This changes everything. Smart trade there, Rebel. I like it, I like it.

QuoteWith the eleventh pick in the Season 11 FBL draft, the Anchorage Glaciers select SG, Nik Bliss, Ohio State.

Alright you fixed my one issue with the team already. Good work. Fill out the roster with PF/C and a PG and you'll be good to go. I might recommend Jimmy Street as a wild card. I also like Suziki Hondo as an underrated guy and who can forget about Bamba Smalls. Bamba would be the best option out of the three in my opinion.

Peaches is the wild card on this team. If I remember correctly he SUCKED when he was in the FBL before. In other words he played like a guy that I would've drafted to put that in perspective. The rest of the team I like a lot. Not a playoff contender this season but next season I think you'll be in the thick of things. Also depends on your last three roster pick ups. You need a PF or PF/C, a C or PF/C, and a back-up PG. So-so team but like I said Lang is the wild card and he is the main reason I'm not sold on this line-up until the grades are released.

To be fair, Lang's been brought in as a way of playing a diverse role on the bench - whether he even comes close to cracking a starter spot does depend on the grade. Hence why I'm negotiations with Miles Peters at the moment and PF/C is my next step here along with another back-up - more than likely a combo guard as well.

Peters would be PERFECT for your starting line-up. Skip the combo guard, get a PG, and then a PF/C and you'll be set. It all depends on if you can sign Peters.

Flash is $3 mil over 2 years I believe.

I don't like Luco at all. Probably the worst guy I ever drafted not on last season's Spuds. Hopefully he is better now. Lazco will put up decent numbers but nothing spectacular. George, Reigns, and Flash are three solid players that I like. The other three roster spots will determine a lot. Go get some scorers and another defender and you'll be ok. This team like Texas will be a team to watch next season but is rebuilding this season. You need to get a PF/C or C, PG/SG or PG, and either a SF/PF or SG/SF.

On second thought, carry on.

It's the PERFECT Franchise team city. Every team there has a horrible history. Chargers always, other than one season, seem to fall apart in the playoffs ir during the regular season. The Padres made it to two World Series and won one game total in the two appearances. Yeah, Heartbreak City.  :)

Pretty sure he has retired. But you could always take the risk of asking Nigel Falls about it.

I think Fletcher is going to Spain for a season. Also I think there's a few GMs who have been blackballed by agents and I'll throw Spain in there too due to what's going on. I think this'll be the main storyline outside of the team threads this season.

Post by: Dorling on January 26, 2013, 06:50:09 PM
The story says Fletcher has retired, and he has also says in previous stories that he doesn't want to go to spain. He can't just leave as he's under contract, the only way to do that would be to quit. He's no longer available.

It's either that or continue to be blackballed. Go with the most logical option.

Falls seems pretty high and mighty of himself and the power he holds so I thought it would be a hilarious humbling experience. Sort of like a lockout but only to an agent. Maybe get woed to players if they want to get paid don't use falls.

I'm probably going to be a little slow on the activity front for the next few days (and the last few). 

I've mentioned in the Shoutbox a bit of my Moms problems, but haven't gone completely into it.

Since I'm real slow on the uptake on medical issues I'm not sure if I can explain it all, but here is my best try.

For the last year or two the veins in her right leg have been bad.  She's had a few stints, a bypass and such.  That's all been documented in the Fuck List. 

This time, it wasn't that bad when she went to the hospital (the last few times she's waiting a month or so of showing symptoms before going).  They did a stint then filled her full of blood thinner.  Kept her in ICU for about a week.  Wed they let her out.

I got her home by about 12 or so.  By 5 pm she was back in the ER then back on her way to Rapid (because our Hospital doesn't have the resources).

It appears what happened is that a little plug or some such hey put in where they made the incision for her stint came out.  This with the blood thinner cause massive bleeding in her leg/groin.  I've been shown the pictures and well... almost threw up.  She's got a massive hole in her leg right now.

Apparently today they changed the packing(?) they had in it, but she started bleeding real real bad at that point again, and they had to do more surgery...

I'm just kind of mentally drained at the moment, so please forgive slowness.

I know that probably sounded snippy but honestly didn't mean for it to be.  I wasn't referring to you in particular.  It's part of the draft strategy.  No major sports league has an open drafting period.  I know we can't all be on at the same time but a 12 hour window should be sufficent.

12 hours should be, but look at me.  I went to bed last night around 7 or 6 PM.  Internet wasn't flat out down, but was real, choppy.

I get up at 1 AM to get ready for work, and internet is DOWN.  Work till 11 AM and internet is still down when I get home.  However it's up about 30 mins later but still....

I agree on a time thing, 12 hours makes sense. Not to not pick, I think we've all took extra time at some point trying to make a deal, but much like a REAL draft it shouldn't be open time limit.

Considering people slow down their picks because they are waiting on Ian's responses, a hard time limit is unfair. He doesn't hawk FBL 24/7, even if the rest of us do. Had Josh and I not wanted the same player I would have stopped the draft dead too when it was on my pick.

Just wanted to comment on this whole tampering thing...

If asking someone whether their client would be interested in playing with another of his clients, without mentioning a trade offer or Jon's name at all is hardly tampering. Other people have done this as well to see if a player would be interested in playing with them, but we play the game to play the game and now I have to play the hand I was dealt.

Okay, I see people wrapping up their threads, having to pick a PR campaign or two. Do only certain players get them, if so how do I know who I need to give one to on the Spuds?

Also, I see people locking up and forging the rest of the draft. Is there an updated order of who is left to draft, who still intends on using their pick?

Last question. If someone doesn't get drafted at all, do they become a FA after the draft?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

PR campaigns are for players who have PR in their contracts - that's what that cost is represented by.

If people aren't drafted they become free agents but it'll be very late on and most people will have locked in by then.

You only have to pay PR and come up with a campaign only if they have it in their contract.

And yes, if a player doesnt get drafted they fall to FA

B vowel double consonant Y - Both anglicized common names, got two of the 3 names right

Yi Fi, 4 letters - 2 syllables, southern Chinese, 'commoner', mandarin . Chui Mai, 7 letters - 3 syllables, Mai means elegance which means its more of a nobility family name, Cantonese.

Actually you don't win because you made the mistake in the game thread which will annoy said character whose name you got wrong whereas I did not. Said character will question why you even contacted him despite not knowing his correct full name and tell you not to bother which will not be good for you considering the next best options are going to give you problems.

Yeah it's not too bad. It allows you to save files in Office formats so you can create something in Open office but open it in a Microsoft package elsewhere. I had a problem with my computer so I lost my basic office package, open office has been a lifesaver in many respects. It's not as good, but hey, it's free.

Post by: GM Franchise on January 29, 2013, 07:14:13 PM
FBL Franchised, Vol. 1 -
GM Franchise Preseason Predictions for Season 11:

Anchorage Glaciers –
I like this team overall especially the starting five and coaches. Jones, Walton, and Williams are a good Forward and Center trio which will take them far. The rookie backcourt is solid as well. Bench is weak because of Sabba. I like Scott and Wheeter though. Sabba will be the reason this team falters if they have to play Williams at maximum minutes.
Prediction: Will just miss the playoffs by no more than a game or two.

Las Vegas Aces –
GM Dorling takes over this team and outside of Mission is a STRONG roster. Chi Chi is an underrated point guard. I like him a lot. Getting Eddie Lights back is huge. Odemwuyio, Remo, and Shack are, on paper, the best big man trio out west. Flan Bulous and Findi are above average bench players. They would be starters on most teams. Mission sucks but then again I caused that by adding Center to his positions. Coaching is also very strong.
Prediction: Western Conference winner, FBL Champion

Kentucky Hayseeds –
Perennial contenders Kentucky are solid again...almost. I have to bring this up because there is one GLARING weakness on this team. Chuckles Tree...I repeat CHUCKLES TREE. Are you kidding me?! He should be here in Tijuana with my Bullfighters not playing on the Seeds. The rest of the team is solid. Everyone else on the roster is a starter level player, I like this team a lot sans Chuckles who as I said should be playing in the Mexican or Prison Leagues...or the WFBL. Eastern Conference is strong and I think the Seeds will just inch past Virginia for the last playoff spot.
Prediction: Eastern Conference playoff team

Puerto Rico Waves –
This is not the same team that won the Championship last season. HUGE difference an offseason makes. GM Justin pisses off Spain and the downward spiral begins there. Shakers and Richards are the clear leaders. Marshall brings an all-around touch. Wright and Djem are solid. As I've said to a few people Suziki Hondo is the most underrated player in the league who comes cheap. Recommended him in the preseason and glad someone got him. Kholov and Braize are weak. Hopefully they play better than their grades. Coaching is also a plus here.
Prediction: Just misses the playoffs by at most one game.

Boston Bells –
Most solid overall team I've seen thus far. No weak points. Every player is starter level even the bench guys. Best coaching combination in the league. I would be shocked if this team does not make it to the finals. They have defense, offense, and solid overall players. Gets my seal of approval. This is the team I believe can win the FBL Championship and will at minimum make the finals.
Prediction: Eastern Conference Champion, loses in FBL Finals

Texas Stallions –
Rogers, Madrid, AND Torre from the champion Waves are here in Texas now. I like this trade a lot and GM Strike deserves a ton of props for getting it done. Add to it Peters scoring ability, Toom's all around big man presence, an improved in Spain Peaches Lang, and rookie rebounder Mack Ryan to the mix and this is a solid team. Dawson is a big weak but there are worse options out there. Great defensive minded coaches too.
Prediction: Eastern Conference playoff team

Virginia Colonials –
Can we just rename the Eastern Conference the Conference of Death? Almost every team is solid and this team is one of the best. Hallmark and Danberry are the clear leaders. Chin Chik and Ramos are back as well. Getting Perkins in the draft is a HUGE plus. I like him a lot. He was in my top 5 non-top 10 projections in the draft. Emerson has a better grade than I thought given his stats for Boise the season previous to mine. Cross and Vraba are good players but also wild cards at the same time. They will be the determining factor in how far this team goes. Like their coaches as well.
Prediction: Will just miss out on the playoffs

Providence Diamonds –
Can you say best expansion team ever? Because I sure can. Chang and Cunningham together again after college in Michigan as well as having a Michigan coach is going to take them far. Kradle was the best player in the expansion draft. GM Rob was smart to get him. I like Kadeon Apollo. He should do well now that he's not in a cult anymore. I also like Butch Paul a lot and Matt Foster was a great pick up as well. Jack O'Neal's grade jumped up from a D+ but surprised he has a better rating than Bael who I think is the better player. Bogolov is one of the three best coaches there is. Signing him was a huge plus. This team will make the playoffs, no doubt in my mind.
Prediction: Loses in Eastern Conference Finals

Pittsburgh Blades –
Well...yeah, given how powerhouse the East is this team is definitely going to finish at or near the bottom. Dre Majors and Mutu will be the top guys on this team. Sampson should be a good rebounding presence. I would start him over Vlakov but that's just me. Or switch Cook to the bench and start Vlakov and Sampson. Evans was a good pick up in the draft. Grey and Funk will be solid but unspectacular and there are much better bench players than them out East.
Prediction: Will not make the playoffs

Wyoming Wolves –
Well the Wolves have a team. This team is like the Spuds from last season except for with three good players. Griffin is the clear leader of this team. Rookies McCarthy and Kurtz are solid rookie pick-ups. Both are starter level guys and the next best players on the team behind Griffin. The rest of the team is meh. Chui Mai is decent but not at the level of other PGs in the league. Sven is ok and Bu, Anderson, and Ferndale are just meh. Going to be a long season for them even with the Stampede Offense.
Prediction: Will not make the playoffs

Hollywood Stars –
The Stars are kind of a mixed bag. They have some high priced contracts but overall have a solid team. Valentine is the steal of the draft from what I've seen. NO WAY he should've dropped as far as he did. However they also have the bust of the draft Chucky Dorrance. Getting Sunshine Stream and DeShawn Drummond were huge for the Wolves. Brian Beast improved a lot overseas rating wise and Zack Fields should be solid but is in a contract year which might be a factor in his morale and play. Stagiousous is 29 but a solid bench guard. Maverick Peters is going to be a scorer again but his play needs to improve overall. However I do like what he brings to the Stars. Mogo will be an interesting head coach and Chemankocov is...well, Chemankocov.
Prediction: Will miss the playoffs

Seattle Toppers:
I like Ronko, Harding, Velez, and Deane a lot. The supporting cast is another story. Bunker is a bit of a flop at PF, Diablo and Tanner are roleplayers at best, and Blackstock is nothing special. Too many low player grades to reach the levels they did last season despite the coaching. I predict this will be a rebuilding season for them.
Prediction: Will miss the playoffs by at the most three games

Tampa Bay Dragons –
Leighton Lee and Blue Reed lead this team that I think is a dark horse team out East. Reggie Jones is a solid rookie pick up but Carlos Moreno not so much. Gilkansious was a good pick up for them. I like his game a lot. I'm also a big Randy Ferndale fan from my time in Boise. Also like Bobby Band and Zizak Rekov was a guy I recommended to people in the offseason. Overall decent team dynamic but the coaching I have a problem with. One on hand you have the best coach in the league Conrad Class and on the other hand you have the worst coach in the league Mike Flips. Not a good dynamic there.
Prediction: Will miss the playoffs. Flips factor will be the reason for this.

Boise Spuds –
Getting Ernie Bell and drafting Dennis Reigns was HUGE. This team got beefed up big time by drafting Ronnie Stanza too. Three guys to build around for the future and all three I really like. Really like this team dynamic too. Kingman is meh but the rest of the team is solid. Trading Tony Luco and Jimmy Street for Bell and Nyako Umjumbo was a major deal. Trading to get Flash Davis was a good move as well as getting Malik George from Free Agency. Truth be told I gave Powers some advice about where to go and advised him to take Ty's deal before he came to his senses. Glad he listened. This time went from so-so to awesome just in one big trade. Lazco was a decent pick up too. He did well for me in Seattle a few seasons back. Art Smith and Horace Hall are great coaches too.
Prediction: Western Conference playoff team

Montana Bears –
The Western Conference champions look solid this season. However Pepe Liorada and Simon Frame worry me. The rest of this team is solid. Despite the two players I mentioned they are one of the best teams around. Nick Gravin is the best point guard out west. Malone is solid, Frazier and Dallas are an awesome big man tandem, and Harry Allen is the star of the future. Billy Russell was a solid draft pick as well. He was on my list of guys to draft.
Prediction: Loses in Western Conference Finals

Honolulu Volcanoes –
Honolulu has already pissed off number two pick in the draft Creed Jackson and that is not a good sign. However, that said, I do like their starting rotation. Lucic and Bonba are both solid guys who will put up good stat lines. Sparky Weasel is good when motivated. However I TOLD YA'LL about Darren McGwire. Oh yeah, GM Franchise had no reason to be optimistic last season...right. McGwire will prove my optimism to be correct with his play this season. Echo Walls too. Kris Keys and Davis Newton like Walls will need some work but overall a solid team. I like Nest as a coach but Callahan is going to be a wild card.
Prediction: Will not make the playoffs

Roswell Aliens –
Solid roster with no weaknesses that I see. Martin and Rivers were brought here by me and I'm glad Steven kept them around. Solid backcourt that I always have been a fan of. Sheldon Day was a great trade and Bernie Class is one of the best around. LOVE their starters. Peck should improve this season too. Tees, Rushmore, and Flynn were good pick-ups in the draft. Coaching is solid. One of the best out West.
Prediction: Western Conference playoff team

Mississippi Steamers –
This team is basically Krease McCool, Bolak Huir (who is going to want out after this season), FBL party machine Jimmy Street, and the Little Rascals. Truck Lynch is a mess. The guy amuses me and gets a lot of rebounds but he's volatile and easily pissed off. Grizla's ranking is lower than I thought it would be but he could be a nice roleplayer during the season. Mark Daughtery and James Storm are project players while Tony Luco's claim to fame is breaking a stripper pole during the Bad Boys Toppers era. With all of the preseason shenanigans that went on here I'll be shocked if GM TyTy makes it through the season. Head coach is good but Amos Farthering? Not good.
Prediction: Will not make the playoffs

Season Finish Predictions:
West –
1.   Las Vegas Aces
2.   Montana Bears
3.   Roswell Aliens
4.   Boise Spuds
5.   Hollywood Stars
6.   Anchorage Glaciers
7.   Hollywood Stars
8.   Honolulu Volcanoes
9.   Wyoming Wolves

East –
1.   Boston Bells
2.   Texas Stallions
3.   Providence Diamonds
4.   Kentucky Hayseeds
5.   Virginia Colonials
6.   Puerto Rico Waves
7.   Tampa Bay Dragons
8.   Pittsburgh Blades
9.   Mississippi Steamers

Playoff Predictions:
East –
Round 1:
Bells over Hayseeds
Diamonds over Stallions
East Finals:
Bells over Diamonds in 3 games

West –
Round 1:
Aces over Spuds
Bears over Aliens

West Finals:
Aces over Bears in 3 games

FBL Finals: Aces over Bells in 3 games

Final Thoughts:
I think the Aces are the team beat especially out West. I do see some upsets happening. West is going to be a crapshoot for the fourth playoff spot. The clear top three out West are Vegas, Montana, and Roswell. Everyone else is going to have to fight out for the fourth spot. Out East is the Conference of Death. I think on paper Virginia is the top team but I like Boston. They have the most solid team overall in my opinion for making a run at the championship. Waves, Colonials, Hayseeds, and Diamonds are going to be fighting for the playoffs. Seeds I would rank higher but Chuckles is a liability for them in my opinion. Colonials are good on paper but without GM Dorling and Coach Class? It's going to be an interesting season. Waves went down a bit after the trade with Texas. Speaking of which Stallions looking good. I really like the Diamonds. I think they will make the playoffs and pull an upset to make the Conference Finals. Overall a lot of good teams but shocked that a few players and coaches were even signed by teams. Amos? Flips? Chuckles? Yeah, they should be with me in Tijuana. Just saying. Anyway Bells and Aces are my finals prediction with the Aces winning it. I also would not be surprised if Providence or Texas made the finals either. That's it for now. From Tijuana this is GM Franchise signing off and off to go sign Felix Johnson, JD Morgan, and Cheese King to my team since I need guards and a SF. :P

Inside the FBL is processing as an upload, I suggest listening to the preseason analysis of the trio. Also note as well, that the threads are now open. Rob/Josh/Libre/Mike as newbies your first point of call should always be to your Head Coach at the end of each game week (after dealing with the media) or in this case straight after training camp.

CoCo needs to man up.

I think I handled this ok, but we'll see if she reacts crazy.

- If they are an item, I was right and she can't be mad. I also effectively gave them my blessing.
- If they're not an item, I have apologised but stated my reasons. If she leaves and they're not together it won't effect Shack.

We were discussing this in the shoutbox earlier. I think you made the right call, as you followed a hint given to you and put forth a plan of action before it became an issue. Others suggested otherwise, saying that meddling in a non-issue would cause her to leave.

Well, it was mentioned in the press, and everything else the game is based on is General News/Inside FBL. Plus, what she said was ridiculous. I already have a plan in place in case she leaves, but her previous behaviour was good until her advice was completely ignored by Fisk, so perhaps she has some common sense - would be nice for one character to be mature and for the only woman coach not be an emotional stereotype!

FBL Franchised, Vol. 2 –
Preseason Power Rankings and Random Thoughts:

In this edition of FBL Franchised I'm doing something new. To give the FBL a more real feel I'm doing weekly power rankings much like the ones used in other professional basketball league websites. Also going to be doing a weekly Franchise Player of the Week (one for each conference), weekly Rookie Watch, and weekly Bench Watch about the underrated bench stars of the week as well as weekly team power rankings.

FBL Preseason Power Rankings –
This is how I'm ranking the teams before week one. The General News stories are quite interesting and also were part of this as well as the team sheets. This list will change on a weekly basis. A lot of the reasoning behind the rankings are looking for teams who have guys that put up consistent stat lines as well as the overall team morale and having "newsmakers" on teams lowers the score.. Seeds would be in the top three but Chuckles lowered their ranking. The rest of the guys are good enough to challenge the Aces and Bells for the top two on my list. Waves trade with Texas hurt them which is why they are so low. Colonials picking up known troublemakers Vraba and Cross lowered their score. I think those two will single handedly, unless they have been reformed, cost Virginia. Stars lack of a legit big center hurt them. Toppers took a dive this season. They have too many players who are D rated which is how it was when I was there which is not good for GM Domingo. Anchorage and Boise are dead even with the Stars. I think those three will be fighting for the last playoff spot out West. Wolves, Blades, and Steamers are the three teams that are going to have a rough season this year. Volcanoes too unless they can get this Creed PR situation under control.

1.   Las Vegas Aces
2.   Boston Bells
3.   Texas Stallions
4.   Providence Diamonds
5.   Montana Bears
6.   Kentucky Hayseeds
7.   Roswell Aliens
8.   Virginia Colonials
9.   Puerto Rico Waves
10.   Boise Spuds
11.   Hollywood Stars
12.   Anchorage Glaciers
13.   Seattle Toppers
14.   Tampa Bay Dragons
15.   Honolulu Volcanoes
16.   Wyoming Wolves
17.   Pittsburgh Blades
18.   Mississippi Steamers

Other Random Thoughts...
Guys I want to sign to Tijuana: Felix Johnson, Cheese King, Bamba Smalls, Aaron Paige, and Bobby Joe Rodick as the assistant coach. Bamba is a solid overall player and Rodick is a coach I think has a lot of potential. I like Johnson a lot. Someone needs to give the kid a chance and IF I ever get a team in the league again I'd sign him. Sure he likes the women a lot but he's a player with unlimited potential. Paige is another undervalued guy. He never really had a bad season. I think he'd be a solid contributor on most teams. Cheese King turned down scholarships to go pro. Under the radar guy? I think so. Just my thoughts. Obvious what guys I want down here to fill out my roster here in Tijuana. I get these guys and I see nothing but good coming from it for all involved.

In other news the Volcanoes forgot about Creed Jackson's PR campaign. Don't worry, Honolulu fans. I'm sure he'll be "happy" to be there after this.

I saw this guy on the General News...

And I thought to myself "That kinda looks like Champ Martin a little bit." I dunno, they look similar. Hopefully Cunningham lives up to the hype.

Sabba, ice cream is not your friend. Just ask Chuckles. Frankly right now we're taking bets on who has a heart attack during a game first, you or him. Sabba needs to get in shape because he is a liability to the Glaciers team.

This is the list of guys I recommended in the draft just so I can look at my post-season draft record to see how well they did. Mind you these are guys not projected in the top 10:
Swoop McCarthy, Ronnie Stanza, Ben Williams, Bryan Holmes, Chris Poole, Chris Perkins, Andreas Kurtz, Carlos Moreno

This is the list of free agents I recommended to people, just another FYI list to see how they did at the end of the season (although it should be noted that some people were looking for specific positions so I went with the best available at the time):
Greg Walton, Sunshine Stream, Remo, Jose Caballero, Simon Frame, Suziki Hondo
Bonba Elbomu
Bael Giankopolis
Grizla Verenka
Sabba
Zizak Rekov
Ramick Lazco
Jamie Dawson
Cazluc Vraba
Flan Bulous
Jimmy Street
Felix Johnson
Bamba Smalls
Aaron Paige
Eko Kholov
Ching Bu
Craig Gary

Not the best guys to recommend but going by the people left at the time those were the best options. Shocked Felix Johnson, Bamba Smalls, and Aaron Paige didn't get picked up. I'd take all three in a heartbeat if I got a team again. Not kidding. They put up stats lines I like. Expect them in Tijuana soon. I like both of their games a lot. Sabba is the only name I regret recommending but despite his fatness he's still better than Anders Von Hooten.

Before anyone rips on me, let me give you a run down of my original roster in Seattle Season Six: Kamil Bennett, James Cross, D'amore Richards, Sean Rivers, Fan Mu, Sheldon Day, Chase Donald, Chuck Fools, and Coach Vlad Bogolov. Yeah I have an eye for talent.

Funny story. Yesterday after practice Moses Franks asked me why I never bought my woman a watch and I said "Because there's a clock on the stove." He didn't laugh but Geek Andrews laughed so hard he almost had an asthma attack. Speaking of Franks and my time in the FBL hey Mike Flips call me tomorrow. You too Echo Walls. Miss you guys.

That's all for now. Going to drink a Margarita while listening to Margaritaville on my Ipod. Power Rankings and MVP Rankings will be updated weekly on here. Also running Predictions League this season. Get your picks in. I'm sure I'll have more in my next column which will rate the best players in the league. Adios from Tijuana, Mexico. This is GM Franchise signing out.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on January 31, 2013, 12:09:56 AM
Few thoughts...

- You don't really have a team in Tijuana, therefore you can't sign players or trade them, etc.

- Bamba Smalls wasn't signed because of his demand for PR, he's not good enough to have $2 in PR.

- My only guess why Felix wasn't signed was due to the talented draft class.

To be completely fair, I wanted BOTH of them in the same squad (and had the budget to do it too). Kamil took it as he was getting siffed as the main player on the squad, thus, the lack of showing up for practice and forcing my own hand.

It was a silly mistake, but it was done with the intent of trying to build a "super team" of sorts. *shrug*

Still love the way the guy plays regardless.

I took the question as if you were drafting a Fantasy FBL team... which goes by... STATS!

I'd take Shack who will give you points, boards, blocks, FG%, and not a lot of Turnovers.

More often than not, Shack, Bennett and Danberry would be the first three going followed by Lights, Hallmark, Rogers, etc.

Another occasion where the GM did something stupid, rather than Kamil himself.

But Kamil was team captain all three times and all three times he bailed on the team. That would have to be factored in.

This ain't Fantasy FBL although I did suggest that idea during Season Six...maybe a new thing I could do in FBL Franchised. FBL Fantasy League.  :)

Centers are nortorious for good FG%. And since he's a replica of Shaquille O'Neal (Someone who had very good FG% numbers), I'd think it's safe to assume Redford Shack does as well.

Ty should have taken the hint when McCool snuffed him for saying the same thing. Player's don't want to be told they can come in at any time partly because we initiate 99% of the action, and partly because they'll probably turn to the media well before they'll turn to us if they have problems.

Kinda like what Franchise and Jenn did last season. You keep having pointless conversations, you risk digging up more problems you had no idea were there.

General News stories get addressed first. No question.

I like to speak to each player at least once per season, so I may talk to one or two extra each week. But talking to four or five guys a week not only puts a burden on Ian, but it drags the game down to a snail's pace.

Ive been speaking English all throughout school, I know the words and grammar and all that,  its just the understanding how its used and why things i say have the effect it does confuses me.

Kinda can tell my heart aint into this game right now eh?

The off season killed me, I almost quit then. Between working off my phone and the language barrier, it just overwhelmed me. I cant bloody well seem to get any names right and seem to pay a price every time. This game has been draining the last week or so, it just aint as fun for me right now.

Sorry, but that is a load of bullshit and I am calling bullshit out on this. You havent done hardly anything in this game. I bust my ass to make this game run and you arent enjoying it because your team isnt brilliant.

Dont waste my time signing up then! I see this sort of negative posting and all your bullshit PMs back and forth with Franchise about trying to institute a team swap as crap.

There is NOTHING tasking about the game from your guys point of view what so ever so all this burnout talk, all your heart not being in it...honestly do not bother putting this in the FBL OOC thread. You barely GM'd last year, you have had the preseason and thats it this year...

and you dont have to do anything except post...no rping, no coding, no nothing.

Damn straight Rob. I dont see how this game is a chore to anyone and if anyone doesnt think the want to play or doesnt have the time. Dont sign up. The instructions are on the tin. The game doesnt work if people dont have a committment to it.

Its the same bullshit you see when people sign up to tournaments or maybe a better example was Dorling's Ruins game where after the sparkly novelty wears off for a week people cant be fucked to put in some effort so they bail. I have probably accepted with e-fedding people do that over the last x years, and I call them out about it as well. In this case I specifically said dont sign up if you cant committ to the game. The same thing I have said to everyone. I brought in two new teams this year because there was an increasing demand for two new teams. I wanted guys like you and Josh to have a crack at playing and before all this happened I had commisioned for two more new teams next year (or in the future) if we had the numbers whos logos etc are on our server already.

I cannot express enough to people that it takes a lot of work behind the scenes to make this go right and I have no problem doing that with people who appreciate it. Not people who want to give up after 5 minutes because they probably realize they didnt do a good job and label it as 'pressure' or 'burnout'. Neither of those two words apply to this game, when at most you check in once a day and write a sentence.

What really fucking pisses me off is that Franchise was out of the game for storyline reasons for this season because he couldnt win a game for the last two. The game has to have a purpose of being accountable in character for winning and decision making or its a pretty dull game. I felt pretty damn guilty about Franchise being out of the game because of his enthusiasm for it, I came up with this in character idea to move him to Tijuana and have him rebuild his rep and had one of these expansion teams earmarked for him to take over next season. I had all this planned out and to see them behind the scenes with PMs trying to move a team from one to the other is a load of BS to me. Franchise is out of the game for a reason and TyTy was supposably signing up to a game to be committed to it.

If he didnt want to play he could have done it after the end of last season, but instead all my hardwork of all the stuff for his team is down the shitter because he feels 'burn out'. I could say a lot more harsh words than fuck off, but I wont.

My rant is pretty much done with this, but I am pretty sure I could put something like this together on a seperate site and with the right marketing charge people to play it. I dont want to do that on EFK, but if people are going to treat my hardwork and effort like shit they can drop when they cant be arsed, maybe I should ask people to pay so they feel committed to participating something they agreed to play.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on February 04, 2013, 09:31:00 AM
I wouldn't mind paying to play, I have no issue with that at all. This is going off on a tangent a little bit but hey you hijacked my thread about homophobia and turned it into something about politics and Polish people so here you go, I don't think you could realistically say in the middle of season 11 or between season 11 and season 12, "hey you guys, I want to start charging you £5 a season" or whatever it is you want to charge people. I think there's enough people out there who realistically wouldn't mind paying at all and obviously have the desire and passion to pop on for 15-20 minutes every day at the absolute maximum to play, but alternatively, I think there'd be enough people unwilling to pay that it would shake up the league quite a lot. The only realistic fix to that would be re-start the league and randomise the player stats and personalities again, I think, although I can imagine that restarting the league in this way where everything is reset and changed could be a lot more effort than what you're in for.

I just don't think that as it is now on this forum you'd be able to find 17 other people that would like to pay for this. Although if you want to go for it then I'd say go for it. At least then everyone that signs up and pays will at least think "I should give this a proper go seeing as I've spent money to play this"
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on February 04, 2013, 09:33:33 AM
My paying thing is more of an idle threat if I am honest Rob. I don't doubt the committment of a lot of the people in this game, all I know is if I tied people into paying they would probably wouldnt sign up unless they werent keen and if they did flake at least I wouldnt feel like I was burned as much.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on February 04, 2013, 09:36:17 AM
Fair enough. Is it worth in that case taking an even stricter approach to people playing the game and saying to those to do show some non-commitment "look, either you play or you don't play" immediately. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to bring in a few replacements.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I also wouldn't mind paying for it.

Post by: Justin on February 04, 2013, 09:38:31 AM
I say you should actually think about making it an online game where people do have to pay for it.  I can honestly see people signing up to play the game.  The FBL could be a nice little income for you.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: J-Reb on February 04, 2013, 09:45:52 AM
Agreed.  It's a fun concept - it's basically a MMORPG simulator.  Realistically, there isn't another game out there like it.  You have sims that have set parameters and eventually the playability levels bottom out.  However, the FBL maintains it because of the constant changing personalities and the human element of dealing with other GM's and characters.

I can't imagine the work it takes.  I have a hard time managing my personal and in-character Twitter account.  If I were you, I'd be walking around with hundreds of multiple personalty disorders. 

I understand Ty's frustration, however, he's brought a lot of it on himself.  You're playing a basketball sim where you're basically roleplaying as the GM.  If you wrote a RP and spent the majority of it getting your opponents name wrong, etc... you'd be knocked down a few points.  You have to find a few ways to make it easier for yourself (I use a physical notepad - I'm a doodler/scribbler by nature) and it helps me keep track of my own players.

Finally, I think it's important to note that this is a game.  If you aren't having fun, winning or losing, then it's probably time to hang it up and pass the team on to someone else.

I think he's had a couple of personal issues happen, or at least I think I remember him posting that somewhere.  I say give him a couple more weeks of the season to see if it gets better. If not, then re-evaluate and look at other possibilities.  But I know as of now, he's tried to talk to both of his coaches and asked them the same exact question...don't see the point in that, but he's new to the game.

Not to sound like a dick or anything but this is a serious question, how can you only spend a few minutes a day playing this game? I spend probably like half hour a day minimum on this game. Granted, I play from my phone more often than not but still, are you guys just good enough at remembering all the names and histories to just jump in an post? I swear i've read every post posted in this game like 3 times and I still have to go back and read more history every time something happens.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on February 04, 2013, 10:32:13 AM
I know I made that spreadsheet, but I really only need that for offseason. During the season I would say that the only things I check is who I'm playing and listen to inside FBL.

I read the General News and pick up anything that needs to be looked at, check with coach and one, maybe two players if I feel the need. The season I won the FBL I just locked straight away for at least 3 weeks.

You don't need to know what's happening in other teams threads, just focus on your own 8 players. Inside FBL and General News are the indicators to how much work you need to do. Less is more.

I spend more than 30 min. during the off season every day. But during the season... noth much time is needed. I just go off my spreadheets, etc.

But I enjoy FBL so much that I find myself reading threads from the beginning a lot. Trying to learn the history of players, etc. What works well, what doesn't.

As for names... I usually do remember them. But if I don't, I'll pull up my spreadsheet.

Nope.  The only time I truly pay attention to another team's thread is in the offseason when I may be trying to sign someone as a free agent.  I will go to their previous team's thread and see how they acted.  Other than that I don't see the need to pay that close attention to another team's thread.  It has nothing to do with you.  You  have your 8 guys, if something is brought up in the News or Inside the FBL then deal with it and lock in.  Remembering stuff from other's threads won't help you.

Not as a priority. You can't use what's going on in other teams threads in game anyway, if you try it will confuse your players and isn't in the spirit of play. So you therefore don't need to worry about it. Other teams threads only come into play at the end of the season, and sometimes not even then if the players have been in general news anyway.

The end of season stats and start of season PDFs are the most useful things by a mile.

I look at the results and stats to find patterns and set my tactics (people suffering poor matchups, players out of position etc). Everything else isn't needed.

My other tip is don't spend so much time trying to wheel and deal. In 4 seasons in Virginia I got playoffs every year and won a championship and I traded 3 players with other FBL GMs.

Vraba for Fletcher
2nd round pick in season 7 draft for Ricky Hallmark
Ronko for Bonba Elbomu.

If you focus on your team and what you need, not what you might be able to get, you will end up only making trades that are good and serve a purpose.

Jenn, right now you have my favorite coaching two-some in the league. Chemancokov is perhaps one of the best assistant coaches to have and X seems to be shaping the team in. Come end of the season, I see you doing quite well

FBL Franchised, Volume 3 –
San Quentin Blues:

Hello again FBL fans. I'm here at San Quentin preparing for the Showerpals big game against Folsom Prison. Folsom's been talking smack for weeks so I'm here for the big game since Tijuana doesn't play again for a few days. With that said I've caught up on all the FBL action this week, looked over all the stat lines, and listened to Inside the FBL. Now it's time for another edition of Franchised.

Alright to start off this week here's the Unofficial Week 1 FBL Power Rankings:
1.   Las Vegas Aces (2-0)
2.   Virginia Colonials (2-0)
3.   Roswell Aliens (2-0)
4.   Mississippi Steamers (2-0)
5.   Montana Bears (2-0)
6.   Kentucky Hayseeds (1-0)
7.   Puerto Rico Waves (1-1)
8.   Boston Bells (1-1)
9.   Anchorage Glaciers (1-1)
10.   Boise Spuds (1-1)
11.   Tampa Bay Dragons (1-1)
12.   Hollywood Stars (0-1)
13.   Texas Stallions (0-1)
14.   Honolulu Volcanoes (0-1)
15.   Seattle Toppers (0-2)
16.   Providence Diamonds (0-2)
17.   Wyoming Wolves (0-2)
18.   Pittsburgh Blades (0-2)

These rankings are going by win/loss percentage here at the start. Seeds would be 2nd or 3rd overall if they played two games going by how dominant they played against the Bells. Strong, strong team other than the guy who took the hot dog break. Chuckles may be lovable and an inspiring player but I think he'll be a liability at some point. Luckily the other seven guys are top notch players. Steamers are a big surprise. Will it last? We'll see. Aliens are a solid overall team. Aces are looking like championship contenders and Colonials haven't missed a step with GM Jon at the helm. But, much like the Steamers, will it last? Cross and Vraba are X Factors that will determine how far the team goes. Both have histories of behavior issues but one week down and so far both have played well. Glaciers and Spuds are about equal. Glaciers won the head to head so I gave them the advantage there. Ty Williams was the reason the Glaciers won that game and I'm expecting a similar result in the rematch. Tampa Bay, Boston, and Puerto Rico were mixed bags but the Waves and Bells were overall the best out of the three. Going to be a long season for most of the teams without a win. Stallions were the best of the bunch going by week one. Toppers followed by the Volcanoes and Diamonds. Wolves, Blades, and Stars need a lot of work to be competitive.

Franchised Players of the Week:
East –
Troy Marshall (Waves, vs. Dragons): 33 pts, 6 rbs, 4 asts, 2 blks, 1 stl

West –
Redford Shack (Aces, vs. Stars): 37 pts, 13 rbs, 5 blks

Franchise MVP Ladder:
Going to start keeping a MVP ladder starting Week 4. With the Byes I think it'll take four weeks to get the full scope of the FBL MVP Race especially with so many players playing well. Will be looking for consistent stat lines, big plays in the clutch, and overall play in general. Going to be a good season going by how week one went.

Billy Russell (Bears, vs. Volcanoes) – 9 pts, 3 rbs, 3 asts, 1 stl

Danny Rushmore (Aliens, vs. Glaciers) – 9 pts, 3 rbs, 1 ast, 2 blks, 1 stl
Findi Muwama (Aces, vs. Wolves) – 9 pts, 6 rbs, 2 blks
Swoop McCarthy (Wolves, vs. Aces) – 16 pts, 3 rbs

Scott Cunningham (Diamonds, vs. Colonials) – 28 pts, 2 rbs
Reggie Jones (Dragons, vs. Blades) – 14 pts, 4 rbs
Mack Ryan (Stallions, vs. Steamers) – 8 pts, 10 rbs, 2 blks
Reggie Jones (Dragons, vs. Waves) – 19 pts
Bobby Chang (Diamonds, vs. Bells) – 11 pts, 2 rbs, 8 asts
Scott Cunningham (Diamonds, vs. Bells) – 14 pts, 4 rbs
Rey Rodrigo (Bells, vs. Diamonds) – 10 pts, 2 rbs, 3 asts, 3 stls
TJ Bailey (Bells, vs. Diamonds) – 9 pts, 1 rbs, 5 asts, 1 stl
Jose Caballero (Bells, vs. Diamonds) – 12 pts, 6 rbs, 2 asts, 1 blk
Chris Perkins (Colonials, vs. Blades) – 6 pts, 2 rbs, 2 asts, 2 blks

A lot of good gameplay from the rookies this week. However I must admit I was only planning on doing a top 5 but I'm going to upgrade it to a top 10 just because there's too many rookies playing good. So here's the Franchise Rookie Ladder from Week 1:
1.   Scott Cunningham (Diamonds)
2.   Dennis Reigns (Spuds)
3.   Creed Jackson (Volcanoes)
4.   Reggie Jones (Dragons)
5.   Swoop McCarthy (Wolves)
6.   Andreas Kurtz (Wolves)
7.   Nick Bliss (Glaciers)
8.   Ben Williams (Glaciers)
9.   Jamal Tees (Aliens)
10.   JR Valentine (Stars)

On the bubble: Bobby Chang and Thomas Morgan

Bench Watch:
Here are the best bench stats from week one...
Henry Allan (Bears, vs. Volcanoes) – 10 pts, 2 rbs, 4 asts, 4 stls
Billy Russell (Bears, vs. Volcanoes) – 9 pts, 3 rbs, 3 asts, 1 stl
Flan Bulous (Aces, vs. Wolves) – 10 pts, 2 rbs, 6 asts, 2 stls

2.   Harry Allan (Bears)
3.   Sunshine Stream (Stars)
4.   Jamal Tees (Aliens)
5.   James Cross (Colonials)

Random Thoughts...

Interesting batch of results this week. Steamers are the big surprise of the week. After all the preseason chaos there in Mississippi they are 2-0. They are still a powder keg waiting to explode but were a fun team to watch this week.

Carlos Moreno is a bit of a week 1 bust. I was honestly expecting more. Luckily for the Dragons Reggie Jones came to play. That guy is going to be big time.

Dennis Reigns is a bad boy. This guy is the next top level defensive maestro in the FBL. I think he already should be in the running for Defensive Player of the Year for his week one play alone.

Stars need to draft a Center or get one from free agency this offseason. Their big man problems are going to be their undoing.

Las Vegas Aces lived up to the hype. GM Dorling has a team that can make a run for the championship and Flan Bulous is back and better than ever.

Seeds have a monster team. Chuckles Tree shouldn't be a factor...but if he does become a factor I think they can make a run with seven guys.

Williams and Bliss are going to be the next big backcourt in the FBL if they are developed over time. Really liking what the Glaciers are doing with their rookie tandem. Could be the best rookie backcourt since Cross, Richards, and Rivers for Seattle Season Six.

Speaking of James Cross I think the Colonials will do good with him. I've said before Vraba is the one they need to worry about. I think he's more of a wild card than Cross in my opinion.

Jimmy Street getting a contract extension will work short term for the Steamers. Long term? We'll see but if he goes back to his old habits then it's going to be an eventful season in Mississippi.

Going to be a long season in Pittsburgh. The Blades need to find some scoring and fast. Nothing is clicking, Dre Majors is already a handful, and Coach Stambola is running out of answers. This team is like Boise last season but with more scoring.

Cedric Malone is the catalyst on the Bears. How he handles himself will determine a lot for Montana. He was a big piece of their Western Conference Championship team. I think how he is handled will determine how far the Bears go this season. His scoring last season was a big part of the Bears success. He did average 11.5 points a game over the first two games but I think he can do a little better than that as the season progresses.

And lastly the big news...not one but TWO new expansion teams are coming to the FBL next season. One in Birmingham, Alabama and one in San Diego, California. The teams names will be the Birmingham Green Hornets and the San Diego Seagulls. Knowing full well that my responsibilities running the Tijuana Bullfighters and the San Quentin Showerpals are both on the west coast as well as my frequent visits to La Jolla during FBL offseasons it's obvious where I'm looking at. However I'm going to but that on the backburner because both Tijuana and San Quentin have some big games this week that I need to focus on. We got a shot at the prison league playoffs and Tijuana is already in the midseason here in Mexico since our schedule is different than the FBL. MBL All Star Weekend is next weekend. Hoping one or two of my guys makes it.

That's all for now. Check back next week for the next stat batches and unofficial rankings. FBL Pick'ems will be updated later tonight. Good night from San Quentin. And remember, the Closeness Brothers are watching you...always.

(OOC: Here's where I got the ideas for all of this –
http://www.nba.com/ (http://www.nba.com/) - Inside NBA.com section at the bottom

http://espn.go.com/nba/ (http://espn.go.com/nba/) - ESPN.com NBA section with rankings, rumors, True Hoop, and Daily Dime

Going for the realistic approach. Next article coming after the next batch of games.)

I think that sums the Seeds ranking pretty well. Bye week basically.

Based on quality of opponent and impressiveness of win, I feel the list should look...

1.   Las Vegas Aces (dominating so far)
2.   Hayseeds (Beat the Bells and made it a good game)
3.   Aliens (mutual opponent as the Aces in the Wolves, played great)
4.   Colonials (vs. the Blades were impressive)
5.   Steamers (beat Waves)
6.   Bears (faced slightly weaker teams week 1 and weren't dominating)


But its just week 1

actually, looking back. Comparing the Bells performance against the Diamonds compared to the Colonials, I would switch Virginia and Mississppi on that list

That's my whole point. It's only week one and some teams have only played once. Gotta wait until around week 4 to see where the teams starts lining up rankings wise. Need a few weeks to see who's consistent and who isn't.

Just to clarify. If you fire a coach you are liable to pay off his contract same as if a player is released as well and they still have years to go on their contract.

If the coach quits you get your PR back as he quit the job. If a player asks for mutual termination you are again not liable.

So in the case of Dave Chart that PR has been returned to the Anchorage Glaciers. Rebel can approach any free agent coach he wants or a coach from another team, however he can only approach a coach from another team provided that team is NOT locked in.

Alright, here is the stats spreadsheet. I'm pretty sure everything is working correctly. It's up to you to keep yours updated as I won't be posting this every time results come out.

A part of me would prefer this wasnt done Jon although I know some hardwork will go into things like this. Assuming this is a players stats thing, I really dont want to get into debates at the end of the season if there is a difference between something I have recorded or havent recorded ie missed off by accident.

Which is bound to happen if this sort of stuff is kicking about. Again making an assumption that is what it is.

Street and Krease seem to be a good 1-2 punch, Bolak is a defensive maestro and the other guys do play their roles.

I mean, the Tampa game was a landslide but the first two against Justin and I were close bouts. As long as Ty doesn't rock the boat much over the course of the season, I can definitely see him competing for a playoff spot.

All true.  And I realize I'm a "newb" here.  From what I have seen though, wins/losses have a LOT to do with team chemistry, and that has a LOT to do with the words of the GM.  Just surprised that he made so many missteps, and still has a functioning, winning, squad.

Oh no, I do agree it's very surprising, given the circumstances from the offseason.

But the team itself isn't bad at all and giving Street the money and PR could have easily been the right move that set Ty on this course rather than the opposite way. But we'll wait and see what happens.

FBL Franchised, Vol. 4 –
A Sign:

I'm GM James Franchise with another edition of FBL Franchised after another good week of games and a TON of drama going on. Good thing I'm down here in Tijuana away from that. It's nice down here. Good change of pace from the FBL. Been able to think down here. Now let's get down to business with the weekly FBL rankings and stats analyzed by yours truly.

Franchise's Unofficial Power Rankings, Week 2:
1.   Montana Bears (4-0) Up 5
2.   Kentucky Hayseeds (3-0) Up 5
3.   Las Vegas Aces (3-0) Down 2
4.   Mississippi Steamers (3-0) No movement
5.   Puerto Rico Waves (3-1) Up 2
6.   Roswell Aliens (3-1) Down 3
7.   Texas Stallions (2-1) Up 6
8.   Virginia Colonials (2-2) Down 7
9.   Boise Spuds (2-2) Up 1
10.   Seattle Toppers (1-2) Up 5
11.   Hollywood Stars (1-2) Up 1
12.   Honolulu Volcanoes (1-2) Up 2
13.   Boston Bells (1-3) Down 5
14.   Tampa Bay Dragons (1-3) Down 3
15.   Anchorage Glaciers (1-3) Down 7
16.   Pittsburgh Blades (1-3) Up 2
17.   Providence Diamonds (0-3) Down 1
18.   Wyoming Wolves (0-4) Down 1

A lot of movement in the power rankings this week. Bears are the only team with four wins so that locked them into the top spot. Hayseeds and Aces are the two teams I think overall are the best going by the game results. When the Bears play the Aces will determine a lot out West. Steamers, the surprise team of this season, were the only team not to change positions from last week's rankings. Biggest mover up was the Texas Stallions who moved up 6 positions while both the Virginia Colonials and Anchorage Glaciers dropped 7 positions. Not a lot of movement in the middle of the pack but the two teams that seem to be in the most trouble are the Diamonds and Wolves. Going to be interesting to track the movement week 3.

Franchise Players of the Week:
East –
Troy Marshall (Waves, vs. Colonials): 42 pts, 11 rbs, 12 asts, 3 blks, 4 stls

West –
Redford Shack (Aces, vs. Aliens): 40 pts, 17 rbs, 6 blks

Honorable Mentions –
Mason Griffin (Wolves, vs. Bears): 28 pts, 6 rbs, 1 blk, 1 stl
Nick Gravin (Bears, vs. Wolves): 27 pts, 14 asts, 3 stls
Harry Allan (Bears, vs. Wolves): 27 pts, 5 asts, 2 stls
Champ Martin (Aliens, vs. Stars): 25 pts, 3 rbs, 13 asts, 4 stls
Ernie Bell (Spuds, vs. Wolves): 28 pts, 3 rbs, 6 asts, 4 stls
Damore Richards (Waves, vs. Colonials): 40 pts, 1 rb, 2 stls
Krease McCool (Steamers, vs. Dragons): 38 pts, 8 rbs, 9 asts, 2 blks, 3 stls
Kamil Bennett (Hayseeds, vs. Diamonds) – 32 pts, 20 rbs, 1 blk
Scott Cunningham (Diamonds, vs. Hayseeds) – 29 pts, 3 rbs
Kamil Bennett (Hayseeds, vs. Blades) – 28 pts, 10 rbs, 1 blk
Damore Richards (Waves, vs. Bells) – 30 pts, 3 stls

Franchise MVP Ladder:
Ladder will start in two weeks but as of now Redford Shack and Troy Marshall are the BIG favorites going by the fact they both have won the Franchise Player of the Week Award two weeks in a row. Damore Richards and Kamil Bennett are right on their heels followed by Krease McCool, Damore Richards, and Scott Cunningham.

Rookie Watch:
Here's my list of top rookie stats from week 2...
Creed Jackson (Volcanoes, vs. Toppers) – 15 pts, 8 rbs, 1 blk
Jamal Tees (Aliens, vs. Stars) – 15 pts, 2 rbs, 5 asts, 3 stls
JR Valentine (Stars, vs. Aliens) – 10 pts, 8 asts, 1 stl
Ben Williams (Glaciers, vs. Bears) – 12 pts, 11 asts, 2 stls
Nick Bliss (Glaciers, vs. Bears) – 15 pts, 4 asts, 2 stls
Dennis Reigns (Spuds, vs. Wolves) – 7 pts, 7 rbs, 2 asts, 3 blks, 2 stls
Ronnie Stanza (Spuds, vs. Wolves) – 7 pts, 15 rbs, 4 blks
Andreas Kurtz (Wolves, vs. Spuds) – 16 pts, 4 rbs, 2 asts
Ben Williams (Glaciers, vs. Volcanoes) – 13 pts, 3 rbs, 8 asts, 1 stl
Nick Bliss (Glaciers, vs. Volcanoes) – 15 pts, 3 rbs, 2 asts
Creed Jackson (Volcanoes, vs. Glaciers) – 15 pts, 7 rbs, 1 blk
JR Valentine (Stars, vs. Spuds) – 10 pts, 2 rbs, 11 asts, 1 stl
Dennis Reigns (Spuds, vs. Stars) – 9 pts, 9 rbs, 3 blks, 1 stl
Ronnie Stanza (Spuds, vs. Stars) – 9 pts, 12 rbs, 1 blk
Swoop McCarthy (Wolves, vs. Bears) – 18 pts, 2 rbs
Andreas Kurtz (Wolves, vs. Bears) – 11 pts, 5 rbs, 3 asts
Billy Russell (Bears, vs. Wolves) – 9 pts, 5 rbs, 3 asts, 1 stl
Thomas Morgan (Hayseeds, vs. Diamonds) – 11 pts, 11 asts
Bobby Chang (Diamonds, vs. Hayseeds) - 13 pts, 3 rbs, 12 asts, 2 stls
Scott Cunningham (Diamonds, vs. Hayseeds) – 29 pts, 3 rbs
Reggie Jones (Dragons, vs. Stallions) – 17 pts, 3 rbs
Mack Ryan (Waves, vs. Stallions) – 8 pts, 10 rbs, 1 blk
TJ Bailey (Bells, vs. Blades) – 9 pts, 2 rbs, 2 asts, 1 stl
Jose Caballero (Bells, vs. Blades) – 9 pts, 6 rbs, 1 blk
Mack Ryan (Stallions, vs. Colonials) – 6 pts, 14 rbs, 5 blks
Rey Rodrigo (Bells, vs. Waves) – 8 pts, 5 asts, 2 stls
TJ Bailey (Bells, vs. Waves) – 8 pts, 3 rbs, 5 asts, 1 stl
Jose Caballero (Bells, vs. Waves) – 11 pts, 5 rbs, 1 blk

More good play from the FBL rookie class and here's how the Franchise Rookie Ladder has shaped up after two weeks. Not much movement but I'm loving what the Glaciers rookie backcourt is doing. Bliss and Williams will become a dangerous combination if they are kept together. Reigns has moved past Jackson for second on this list. The guy is a legit Defensive Player of the Year candidate and had a big week again.

1.   Scott Cunningham (Diamonds)
2.   Dennis Reigns (Spuds)
3.   Creed Jackson (Volcanoes)
4.   Ben Williams (Glaciers)
5.   Nick Bliss (Glaciers)
6.   Andreas Kurtz (Wolves)
7.   JR Valentine (Stars)
8.   Reggie Jones (Dragons)
9.   Thomas Morgan (Hayseeds)
10.   Bobby Chang (Diamonds)

On the bubble: Swoop McCarthy, Jamal Tees, and Ronnie Stanza

Bench Watch:
Here are the top bench stats from week 2 of the season...
Jamal Tees (Aliens, vs. Stars) – 15 pts, 2 rbs, 5 asts, 3 stls

Random thoughts...

Really like what I'm seeing from the Hayseeds. I think they are overall the most solid team in the Eastern Conference. However, as I've said time after time, Chuckles Tree will be a liability at some point. That said I think they could pull a Bells from a few seasons back and make a FBL Finals run with a seven man roster.

Bells need another scorer. It's that simple. That is BY FAR their biggest weakness and the biggest reason why they only have one win right now.

Aces are playing like a team that wants to win the championship badly. However overconfidence is the only thing that worries me. With all of this championship talk what happens when they don't win it? Just a thought.

Am I sensing a feud between the Stars and Bears over Drummond? I think so especially over Lincoln Frazier's comments on the matter. When these two teams play it's going to be very interesting.

To sum up the Seattle Toppers, they need an overhaul in the offseason. This team is not the same team as the previous two seasons. They will be lucky to make the playoffs going by how they've played thus far. However they did get a win this week. They need to build off of the momentum from that win and move forward.

Blades need to start Country Sampson. Never thought I'd type that but it's true going by how much of a spark he is giving them at the Center position.

Glaciers have a nice looking team but the coaching situation is a total disaster. Might I suggest to GM Rebel that he go for George Nest who is reportedly interested in the position because of the disarray that is going on in Honolulu right now.

Diamonds have the right GM and Coach combination with Rob and Bogolov but they need to get the right players for the team. No nonsense, gritty, hardworking players are what the team needs. No primadonnas allowed so to speak.

Volcanoes are a disaster. I like their roster as a whole but the Creed Jackson PR situation and the coaching situation are both massive PR headaches for this team. They need to get all of this under control and fast because this is quickly becoming a wildfire that cannot be put out.

Steamers are a HUGE surprise this season. GM TyTy should be proud. Just hope he can keep it together so the team can make a run for the playoffs.

Cazluc Vraba isn't too popular in Virginia. As I've said before him and James Cross are the top two reasons why the Colonials are a powder keg waiting to explode. GM Jon needs to get these two under control before it backfires on him. Both are good players just have a history of stirring up trouble.

Could Leighton Lee end up playing in Spain next season? If I was GM Cory I'd be very worried about that scenario.

What's up with the question of a Spuds move? Something to watch. Even though I'm not too popular there I'd hate to see the team move although I do hear the Dakotas are nice this time of year.

Chi Chi Gonzalez had 24 assists against the Aliens. TWENTY FOUR! That is not a typo. The entire Aliens team only had 15.

Another non-typo: Corbin Dallas has 28 rebounds against the Wolves. The ENTIRE Wolves team only had 23.

Also I had a sign today. I was sitting in my office here in Tijuana and a Seagull sat on the ledge by my window. It then turned, looked at me, and then flew toward the ocean again. I think it's a sign. Hopefully it is since San Diego is just across the border. Anyway got to get my team ready for the games this week against Monterrey and Acapulco. I'll be back next week with another edition of FBL Franchised. Adios, amigos!

For Rich Deane he took on two good defenders. Dennis Reigns and Lucic Chechenko. Both those guys have limited each player they have faced in each game to a very limited role.

Blaire Smith was up against Mutu Mukwaza. He's a good defender, but 8 steals against the Bells best scorer... I think it had more to do with something going on internally there.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Why? Why not? The Aces and Bears are the top two teams out West and both are undefeated. Seeds are undefeated and the Waves are coming off a big week including a game which not one but two 40 point scorers and are the defending champions. Those are big time games that have four of the top five teams in the league in them.

Thank you for coming in guys. I know we have a game against the Volcanoes coming, so I'm going to make this as brief as I can.

Now, I know that it is going to take a little bit of time for the team to gel, to get a feel for how the other members of this team can benefit one another and work together as a cohesive unit, so what we are going to do is take it one game at a time...one opponent at a time.

This week we need to go out there and just enjoy doing what it is you love to do, go out there and play a game you've been playing since you were kids...let's go out there and have some fun, and the winning will come on it's own.

Coaches...

PG - Velez
SG - Harding
SF - Deane
PF - Bunker
C - Ronko

When we're rotating, I want to make sure we keep two of Rich, Joe, and Chico on the court at all times even if we have to play Joe at PG and Rich at SG in order to do so.

Team ball, rotation policy

Lock in.

Why would I bench Chico? I'm running a rotation, not mostly starters, and wanted to make sure that during that rotation I keep two of the three good players on the court.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Hello FBL fans, this is GM Franchise back with another edition of FBL Franchised. Firstly let me say that I LOVE the new Inside the FBL opening montage. Secondly been in San Diego a lot the past week or so. Not saying any more than that but it's obvious what I'm looking at doing FBL wise. Now let's get started with the Power Rankings.

Franchise's Unofficial Power Rankings, Week 3:
1.   Kentucky Hayseeds (5-0) Up 1
2.   Las Vegas Aces (5-0) Up 1
3.   Mississippi Steamers (4-1) Up 1
4.   Virginia Colonials (4-2) Up 4
5.   Montana Bears (4-2) Down 5
6.   Hollywood Stars (3-2) Up 6
7.   Seattle Toppers (3-2) Up 3
8.   Texas Stallions (3-2) Down 1
9.   Roswell Aliens (3-2) Down 3
10.   Puerto Rico Waves (3-3) Down 5
11.   Boise Spuds (3-3) Down 2
12.   Pittsburgh Blades (2-3) Up 4
13.   Anchorage Glaciers (1-4) Up 2
14.   Honolulu Volcanoes (1-4) Down 2
15.   Providence Diamonds (1-4) Up 2
16.   Tampa Bay Dragons (1-4) Down 2
17.   Wyoming Wolves (1-5) Up 1
18.   Boston Bells (1-5) Down 5

Kentucky is a monster team but they do have one problem. Seeds scandal with Jay Chill is going to be huge for them. It is going to be a big factor this week. Seeds move up to the top spot this week. Aces take the number two spot because I feel the Seeds' wins this week were more impressive overall. Aces still are the CLEAR top team out West right now due to the Montana drop off and the Aliens starting to show signs of weakness. Bears dropped to fifth after losing both games this week. Biggest movers were the Stars who moved up 6 and the Bells, Bears, and Waves who dropped 5 spots each. Shocked to see the Bells at the bottom. They need to get something going. A lot of movement due to teams who were at the bottom last week winning games this week which caused a lot of it.

Franchise Players of the Week:
East –
Troy Marshall (Waves, vs. Hayseeds): 36 pts, 12 rbs, 16 asts, 2 blks, 2 stls


West –
Eddie Lights (Aces, vs. Spuds): 32 pts, 3 rbs, 2 stls

Honorable mentions...
Troy Marshall (Waves, vs. Diamonds): 30 pts, 8 rbs, 6 asts, 2 blks, 1 stl
Scott Cunningham (Diamonds, vs. Waves): 32 pts, 5 rbs, 2 stls
Jimmy Street (Steamers, vs. Bells): 27 pts, 6 rbs, 6 asts, 3 stls

Freddie Bishop (Hayseeds, vs. Waves): 27 pts, 7 rbs, 3 asts, 1 blk, 2 stls
Kamil Bennett (Hayseeds, vs. Stallions): 26 pts, 18 rbs, 1 blk

Franchise MVP Watch:
Troy Marshall now is the clear favorite in my opinion. His all-around stats from this week and from the season as a whole are unreal. Best baller in the FBL right now. Redford Shack, Eddie Lights, Krease McCool, and his teammate Damore Richards round out my top 5 in the MVP ladder brought to you a week early courtesy of Corona, sponsor of the Tijuana Bullfighters.

More good rookie play. This rookie class is playing well. However this week was a drop down from last week's rookie play and stats but Scott Cunningham is a star in the making.

Random Thoughts...

It was a weird week this week. A lot of games did not have the end result that I was expecting to see. Also from the outside looking in the East is WAY more stacked than the West. The West is just the Aces and then everybody else. Out East it's wide open but the Seeds are the clear top team even with Chuckles and now the Jay Chill drug scenario playing out.

Diamonds are a good team on paper and have the foundation for a good future with Chang and Cunningham. This team needs time to grow. Hopefully Bogolov doesn't murder a hooker before the team gels.

George Nest is leaving another team? I wish he would stay on one spot. He's a good coach just has issues with staying in place.

I hope Leighton Lee stays in Tampa and gives GM Cory a chance to turn things around. All they need is one more big time player and an all-arounder on the bench to have a good team. Not many pieces are missing from the puzzle. Just two players and, well...Flips. Speaking of him hey Mike Flips call me tomorrow. Gotta have a vacation out here with me and Franks.

Harry Allen to the SG position I feel will backfire. It's not that he can't play. The guy is a baller. It's the size as mentioned on the FBL General News. I feel as if his size will hurt him at that position. Darren McGwire is the perfect two guard size and he's a lot taller than Allen. However the Bears might want to gamble on this since Cedric Malone is becoming an issue.

Country Sampson has turned his career around. I'm happy for the big guy and he's one of the few positives in a dismal season in Pittsburgh. I'm also glad to see that the Blades aren't on the bottom of the league anymore. This is a team that is improving.

Jay Chill's involvement in a high profile marijuana ring doesn't surprise me. He is from Jamaica after all. However I think that the Seeds will be in trouble without him. He is an underrated point guard that doesn't get a lot of attention. Luckily the Bells can move Morgan to PG and start Free at SG without losing a thing. Only problem is their bench this week will be only Bob Breaker and Chuckles Tree.

I agree with OJ McLoo about the Troy Marshall "not being a team player" comments being rubbish. Look at his overall stat totals most notably in assists. He's won my Franchised Player of the Week Award for the Eastern Conference all three weeks this season. He is overall the best player in the FBL and I believe him to be a team player going by everything I've seen during his FBL tenure.

Mission is a feel good story. However time will tell if the Aces will win it all or if their overconfidence will be their undoing which is what I've been warning about week after week after week.

Wolves need to get it together. The team is a disaster and they will still be rebuilding next season unless some moves are made to turn things around. Griffin and Mai's comments are only the beginning.

Stars played great this week but they have two nagging problems. One is the lack of a big man presence outside of Drummond and second is the ongoing drama between Maverick Peters and coach Mogo. It's obvious those two will have a showdown by season's end.

Xavi Madrid's kidnapping is an interesting story. Unless my pals the Closeness Twins have a third brother I think the suspect will be someone you'd least expect. Look at what was said on the news. The person was speaking both Chinese and Japanese. That might be a big clue right there. Next Franchised I will do an expose on who could be the kidnapper and go through all of the suspects.

Spakki and Bolak Huir got married. The big question is will GM TyTy be able to keep the happy couple happy in Mississippi after this season? Only time will tell.

Mrs. Vraba vs. Geoff Fardy in a wrestling match? YES! I'm ordering this right now. This is the most EPIC feud in wrestling since Jerry Lawyer vs. Andy Coughlin back in the eighties. Good stuff. GM Death, Moses Franks, and Cage Daniels are coming to my place in San Diego to watch the match. Who else wants in?

Vernon Nelson is leaving the Bells after this season. I don't blame him. The Bells honestly should be a playoff contender team not at the bottom of the league. GM Bone has a good team but it's not gelling and not winning games.

Mark Brown to the Glaciers is a good move. Getting Bobby Joe Roddick as his assistant is good too. I'm very high on Roddick and I think he will be an excellent FBL coach.

Mark Peck is speaking to Chris Benwah...yeah, his team the Aliens are hearing voices too and they are not good. Aliens are starting to show cracks in the foundation. I feel as though they need to pick it up otherwise the Stars and Spuds (possibly the Toppers) will pass them in the playoff hunt.

Ronnie Stanza was a good pick up by the Spuds in the draft. The Wolves should look for a player like him in the draft or free agency. Just a thought. Spuds are a playoff contender out West and I've been a big promoter of them as making the playoffs.

Ronko's injury is going to hurt the Toppers. FINALLY they get something going and then this happens. Going to be a long week in Seattle.

That's all for now from here in Tijuana. The Bullfighters are playing Guadalajara and Juarez this week. San Quentin has two games this week on our push to the playoffs. Big week for me. Heading to San Diego in the morning for some business meetings before going to the games to see my boys play. Until next time, this is GM Franchise signing off.

Maybe he's lost it a little because of his injury.

It's an ankle injury...
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on February 21, 2013, 09:24:17 PM
I'm talking mental. Maybe the injury has effected him psychologically. Meaning maybe he doesn't want to let on how bad it is. Just a theory though, nothing more.

other words Cory forgot to read the Memo

reason it still relevant is because at the time Cory had put together the best team in the league ... all he really had to do was keep morale up and they win the title that year and maybe the next year also .  once he hit the red button , the team blow up , scatter to the four winds and it was the start of his downfall in Texas... it pretty much change the history of the FBL

"Shooting forward" is, however, a slang term for a small forward who takes the majority of a team's shots. Sort of a portmanteau of shooting guard and small forward.

There's also a "point forward", when the small forward has enough ball handling and passing skill that he brings the ball up the court and lets the guards move around to get in position for quick scoring plays. It's a bit unconventional, but it causes all kinds of matchup problems.

Don't try to blow my mind Hondo. I know the 5 basic positions and I'm almost at the stage where I know what each guy is supposed to do. I don't need your highfalootin' alternative basketball theories jackin' my shit.

Basketball terminology can be a bit of a mother...I'm slowly, gradually learning a good chunk of it myself.

Guess I should thank all my time playing NBA 2K13 so far for that.

FBL Franchised, Vol. 6 –
All Star Breaking It Down:

Hello FBL fans. This is GM James Franchise with another edition of FBL Franchised. A lot went on this week. A few teams are gelling finally while others are disasters that are headed straight for the dungeon that will keep them from leaving to the promised land of the FBL playoffs. After this break the FBL will go insane on the road to the playoffs and the FBL Season 11 Championship. But, that said, it's time to get on with my report on all things FBL.

FBL Power Rankings:
1.   Kentucky Hayseeds (7-0) No movement
2.   Las Vegas Aces (7-0) No movement
3.   Virginia Colonials (5-2) Up 1
4.   Roswell Aliens (5-2) Up 5
5.   Boise Spuds (4-3) Up 6
6.   Mississippi Steamers (4-3) Down 3
7.   Hollywood Stars (4-3) Down 1
8.   Texas Stallions (4-3) No movement
9.   Puerto Rico Waves (4-3) Up 1
10.   Montana Bears (4-4) Down 5
11.   Anchorage Glaciers (3-4) Up 3
12.   Providence Diamonds (3-4) Up 3
13.   Seattle Toppers (3-4) Down 6
14.   Pittsburgh Blades (2-5) Down 2
15.   Boston Bells (2-6) Up 4
16.   Honolulu Volcanoes (1-6) Up 2
17.   Tampa Bay Dragons (1-6) Down 1
18.   Wyoming Wolves (1-6) Down 1

Lots of movement this week. Biggest movers were the Spuds going up 6 spots while the Aliens rose up 5 spots. On the other side of the coin the Toppers went down 6 spots and the Bears went down 5 spots. The top two teams, the Hayseeds and Aces, will likely only be competing with each other for the top spot. They are clearly the class of the league. Aliens, Spuds, and Toppers are making moves out West while the once mighty Bears would be out of the playoffs if the season ended now. That in itself is shocking considering they started off 4-0. Steamers and Stallions are both vulnerable in the East. I'm looking at both the Waves and Diamonds pouncing on them for those last two playoff spots since I don't see any scenario where either the Hayseeds or Colonials miss the playoffs at this rate...unless the Vraba situation gets out of control in Virginia. That is the only possibility where I see that happening. Glaciers and Toppers are both still alive out West. I think the Blades, Bells, Volcanoes, Dragons, and Wolves are out of the hunt at this point. Bells are the best of that bunch but with the protests going on it'll be hard for them to make any moves up the board on the road to the playoffs.

Franchised Players of the Week:
West –
Eddie Lights (Aces, vs. Toppers): 40 pts, 3 rbs, 8 stls

East –
Ricky Hallmark (Colonials, vs. Bells): 26 pts, 6 rbs, 20 asts, 3 stls

Honorable Mention:
Eddie Lights (Aces, vs. Volcanoes): 37 pts, 2 rb, 3 stls
Ty Williams (Glaciers, vs. Stars): 26 pts, 15 rbs, 4 blks
Redford Shack (Aces, vs. Toppers): 37 pts, 15 rbs, 3 blks
Troy Marshall (Waves, vs. Blades): 28 pts, 5 rbs, 5 asts, 2 blks, 2 stls
Clint Danberry (Colonials, vs. Bells): 25 pts, 15 rbs, 2 blks
Blair Smith (Bells, vs. Colonials): 32 pts, 2 rbs
Kamil Bennett (Hayseeds, vs. Dragons): 30 pts, 11 rbs, 2 blks
Freddie Bishop (Hayseeds, vs. Dragons): 23 pts, 6 rbs, 6 asts, 2 blks, 1 stl

MVP Watch:
This week saw Ricky Hallmark make a big push into the MVP rankings with his monster game against the Bells. Marshall keeps the top spot in the rankings but Lights is on the verge of passing him up despite Marshall's all-around game. Damore Richards dropped from the top five but Krease McCool is still in the rankings despite Kamil Bennett being the bubble.

Random Thoughts...

Looks like the Spuds gamble on Flash is paying off. The country is clearly doing some good. Like what I'm seeing from Boise this season thus far.

I have a feeling Ronko is having some mental issues. Call it a hunch. I'm good with these type of things since I'm used to do with mentally unstable types.

Brian Beast loves to talk. If you talk to him he will ask you a million questions. In fact I've got exclusive video footage of him when he was five years old.

uncle buck - whats your record (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZMWgW6QNuw#ws)

See? Told ya.

Wolves are turning into a disaster. Swoop McCarthy, who should've been given a longer contract years wise anyway, wants out and I'm certain Coach Sui isn't happy. Lot of disarray in Wyoming. Hope GM Death can turn it around.

Eddie Lights should lead the league in scoring by the end of the season by my calculations. Only Marshall, Shack, Bennett, and Richards should challenge him, maybe Cunningham as well. Speaking of scoring totals the East has a lot more top scorers than the West does. Disparity is very noticeable from the outside looking it.

I like Champ Martin's leadership ability in Roswell. Who traded to bring him in there I wonder? Oh, it was me. Glad my best trade ever is working out for them in the long run. GM Steven has done a fantastic job of getting him and Sean Rivers some other guys that are turning into a contender in the West. Hoping Champ wins the Skills Challenge.

Cedric Malone wants to leave Montana. Not surprised. He'd better hope one of the expansion teams takes a chance on him because he's going to be out of the FBL next season at this rate unless that happens.

Can't believe I'm saying this but Mark Brown is an upgrade over Dave Chart in Anchorage. I think he and Roddick work well with GM Rebel moreseo than their predecessors did. Think they will sneak into the fourth playoff spot or just miss out by a game or two. Bears handling of the SG position will decide the last spot out West.

Deuce Callahan's scandal is just another PR disaster in a string of them for the Volcanoes. Don't worry. I'm sure Moses Franks, who's coaching MY Tijuana Bullfighters into the Mexican League playoffs right now, will be willing to save the day before the volcano really erupts and causes the entire franchise to be burned up in molten lava by the end of the season.

Scott Cunningham is the star of the future. He and former college and current Diamonds teammate Bobby Chang are going to propel the Diamonds into the playoffs next season. I'm calling it right now. Also if he is not an All Star this season I riot. GM Rob, get the armory ready for battle just in case he is left off the Eastern Conference team.

Jimmy Street fighting in a bar...yeah, not surprised. Steamers need to get it together otherwise they'll be out of the playoffs at the rate they're going.

Dragons having a coaching issue with Mike Flips...yeah, not surprised by this either but I gotta side with Flips on this one considering what Rekov said to the media. GM Cory is in hot water with coaches again. This seems to be a running thing with him and what bad timing. Dragons are in the cellar out East which is not good considering how well they've played the previous two seasons.

Micah Grey has a reason to fear a long second half of the season. Blades are struggling but I think they will finish ahead of the Dragons and possibly the Bells but that might be about it. Being optimistic with them.

Jay Chill's cannabis issues are a big issue for the Seeds who are the ultimate good guy team in the FBL. He's good but I'm interested to see how the Seeds handle him considering they are championship contenders. Chill possibly might be gone after this season due to the PR issues but I'm interested to see how they handle him.

This just in. Xavi Madrid is sitting out the rest of this season. There goes the Stallions playoff hopes. Someone set him up with that kidnapping and I want answers. I'll send my spies...I mean, sources to find out more on this situation.

Mrs. Vraba blames GM Jon for what Geoff Fardy did to her. Not surprised and not surprised that her husband is pissed off about this. Hey Vraba, come out here to my beach house in La Jolla so we can hang out over the All Star Break. You too Mike Flips. Moses and Zapporah Franks are coming out here to chill. You two should come over too.

Vernon Nelson, a TRUE American patriot, is causing a protest in Boston over what he perceives to be better treatment for foreign born players than American players on the Bells. I have no comment on this matter but Nelson is a true American and I respect his playing ability.

Troy Marshall guaranteeing a dunk contest win is like Chucky Dorrance guaranteeing that he will put up almost nothing on his stat lines every game. Just saying.

Now for the fun stuff. The OFFICIAL GM Franchise picks for the All Star Contests:
Dunk – Troy Marshall
Three Point Shootout – Damore Richards
Skills Challenge – Champ Martin

That's all for now. Chilling on the beach in La Jolla this week since my teams are preparing for playoff runs and I want them focused on practicing than dealing with me. Going to be a good week. That's all for now. This is GM Franchise signing off from the beach. Seen a few seagulls this afternoon. It's a sign.

Once I have the full lineups and stuff PM'd to me by the GMs of East/West will run a sim for the game. We wont lock in and then just continue as if going into Week 5.

I also used 'post' instead of 'most' in some of the questions this week, no penalty for interpretation of the media question...cant say the same for some the others though lol.

Even if I do, I'll probably be too busy looking at stuff to do any FBLing/Efedding. I'll give you any team instructions closer to the time Ian.

I gotta defend Jag a little bit here, since everyone else seems to be railroading him.

At the end of the day, NO MATTER who he picked, there's always gonna be a snub. ALWAYS. Never fails. It's a thankless position to be in. If you put Dallas in, you have to leave Ty Williams out. Then you'd be up in arms over that.

Also, it's probably not the best thing in the world to load up an All-Star team with your own players. Karma goes a long way in this game, no need in upending things.

not saying it was bad also ... but look at this way , he snub three of his starters  for guy on the bench.  Look at it through eyes of them ... They will wonder why he took a bench guy over them. They help lead the team to second place. Remember things are little overblown in the FBL. For something like this , you may have to be little selfish and think of your guys relationship toward you when comes to picks.  Honest I would put Dallas over Drummond and no one would have care that much. plus he left off a few other guys that quite honest should have been on that team

Not saying  he did wrong , but he may have open a can of worms for his team in the second half of the season that he did not need too ... that all

Trouble is, it's not all about grades - I picked the best team to cover all positions based on grades, but lost. Gotta take into account performances more than anything. I haven't really been paying attention, but hasn't Drummond been suffering a bit with being in a short team and playing out of position at times?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on February 26, 2013, 02:19:33 PM
I've not played him out of position. I was going to give it a try so he said no, so I shrugged and kept playing him at PF.

He's still consistently amongst the best performesr on my team. If I had a natural centre he'd be doing better, but he's getting double doubles on points and rebounds most games.

Dallas has been doing very well, admittedly, but I'm just saying that people would definitely notice if DS was left out entirely.

I didn't talk smack.  I agreed that the choices were interesting. At the end of the day, he has his own team to answer to, so I think he probably shoulder picked one or two of his own stars to avoid problems at home. Nothing wrong with his choices, not by a longshot.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: J-Reb on February 26, 2013, 03:11:07 PM
I probably would have gone with Gravin, Lights, Griffin, Drummond and Shack as my starting five.  I would have selected Chi Chi, Ty Williams and Champ Martin as my bench.

The PF position in the West is pretty week at the moment.  Drummond is really the only choice.

It's like Hondo said, there is always going to be someone that feels snubbed, and it's always easy to sit there and say what you would've done differently. It is a whole different feeling to actually have to make the decision to place someone on the all star team over another, and what it will do to your own team as well as your relationship with players you may have to deal with in the future.

After the snub last season, do you think I would be able to sign Dallas to my team if the opportunity presented itself, or do you think he would hold it against me that I overlooked him as an all star?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on February 26, 2013, 04:20:22 PM
yes... because I think he would not hold a grudge with you on that point , he might have his agent move the price up a bit because it you , but I don't think he would refuse not play for you outright. 

real  reason I brought this  up is the news story .  It suggested that Gavin and Dallas might not be happy to see a guy on there bench get the pick over them.

Interested in seeing the fallout  after the all-star break

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

It more than likely will not have fallout until after week 5, unless Jag brings it up.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on February 26, 2013, 04:42:49 PM
From the outside looking in I would've gone with Champ Martin and either Gravin or Chi Chi at back-up PG, Eddie Lights at SG, Griffin at G/SF, Reigns at SF, Drummond and Dallas at PF/C, and Redford Shack (starters Shack, Lights, Griffin, Drummond, Martin). But that's just how I'd go with it.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Strike on February 26, 2013, 10:06:43 PM
While I thought Martin or Gravin not getting the call on their ends was unexpected, I actually like Jag's team on paper.

Plus, as mentioned already, there would have been "controversy" for fleecing one person or another regardless of how it went. I mean, a part of me was almost half-tempted to suggest a one-game only 10 man format for the All-Star game to Ian...but then I realize the controversies are half the fun of these All-Star games, thus far, and therefore, totally okay with just it being 8 players as usual.

Walton might be able to match up well against Marshall, since he's being thrown in on the SF slot. I also think the reason I was surprised Allen got the nod over Gravin was due to the fact that it was said Gravin's chemistry with Shack and Lights on last season's All-Star game was downright insane.

Yup, he got MVP. It was Gravin at the point, Harding at the two, Lights at the three, Drummond at the four and Shack in the middle. This is pretty much the same team this year with a different point guard.

If defense and matching up well was the reason then Reigns might've been a better option due to his defensive capabilities. Same applies to Lucic since both he and Reigns play SF.

All depends if their in a good frame of mind to begin with. A really happy player is more than likely not going to request a raise. There are exceptions of course, but it's unlikely. Guys who want raises are guys who aren't bottomed out in the morale column, but are becoming disenfranchised.

you did strike a deal with him  in secret to coach your team before the season was over and you still had a coach that you had not got rid of... than you realize what would happen when the deal would get out ... so you try to back out.

Well, no more hope for Cazluc. The only thing I could have really done differently with his situation is originally accept Mrs. Vraba to stay in my suit with me. But I foreshadowed that into us having an affair. Vraba was a lose-lose situation the second I signed him. Too bad, because I was able to get him to play like he can, we would have been a very dangerous team. Maybe he'll wake up from his KO and be a different team player-like Vraba, lol.

The new owner of the Greenhornets runs in and causes interference, thus causing Fardy to get distracted and get the roundhouse of death from Vraba, thus granting them victory.

FBL needs more rivalries.

Scouting reports for existing teams seem to definitely depend on the assistant coach and the style of play one's team has got going.

So, if you are wheelin' and dealin' often enough, a guy that might have been a fit on one team the previous season may not quite do the trick on the current team. Just a theory, though.

Ian, way back when Abrax entered the league, the report that I'd got on him specified that he was a combo guard. I've mentioned this I think once before, but he's listed as only a PG. I know it's kind've dredging things up from quite some time ago, but I bring it up cause it would be pretty dang helpful were he a combo guard right now >_>.

Is he PG/SG or just PG? When I picked him up I'm pretty sure it was specifically because of playing both. I can dig through my PMs for the original stuff, if you'd like.

Edit: Found it.

QuoteTough defender. Can play both the PG and SG position. Not a brilliant scorer and that might his one let down here in the FBL, decent passer of the ball. But he is a scrapper and works hard on defence. He is also a big minutes reliever. A starter for the Greek team, he would be a bench player here in the FBL, but take valuable minutes off either guard for them to rest.

But I see your point(s).

Im forever ruined in this game with my lack of appeal towards coaches. Im either going to pay double what a coach is worth or have someone like Flips.

When I get fired, do I go to "canadian basketball league" like Franchise.

Either way, he's gotta be fired now. Undermining the management = goodbye Stelios and goodbye playoff chances

Well, to be fair, if I can start to get back on track with coaches then I'm sure you can too. I mean, I went-

Bogolov
Flips
Hawk
Mays

Mogo

- And had Farthering leave in there, too. It's just going for Class may have been a bit ambitious.

TyTy, I didn't think you did or said anything wrong. Just Ian making things fun.

Cory and Rebel on the other hand are at fault for what transpired.

Mark Brown needs his appreciation and why would you basically offer an Asst Coaching job to someone when you already have one locked up through Season 12?

Post by: Cory on March 03, 2013, 10:05:15 PM
I simply asked for Zizacs opinion on coaching after he retires, as usually you have that bound in a contract. Mike Flips wasn't coming back next season, and he took it as a "controversy".

My fault for playing the game for the future and not for the now. Seems the only way to plan for the future in FBL is contracts only, no personelle or other changes of the like.

Yeah, coaching the Dragons when he retires after this season. However, you already had a HC and AC binded by contract for next season, so it didn't make sense. I understand you don't Flips as a coach next year, but Zizac didn't. Should have handled Flips first before approaching Zizac.

Going for a risky move and starting Davis Newton this week, he's been improving every week and his numbers off the bench are close to Lucic's.  It's either Davis's time to shine or will light a fire under Lucic to turn in some bigger numbers
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on March 04, 2013, 12:07:03 AM
Rookies - especially high schoolers, need development.

This isn't a great idea. Lucic doesn't score big numbers he locks opponents down.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on March 04, 2013, 12:09:56 AM
Yeah Lucic is a defensive player not an offensive. He's one of the best defensive players in the league.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on March 04, 2013, 07:29:26 AM
Other then Lucic being one of the best defensive players in the league... You also benched him without letting him know. From personal experience with doing that myself... It rarely ends well.

Random thoughts...

Brady O'Shady doesn't seem too pleased with GM Bone. Upon analyzing what was said, I think GM Bone is going to be headed out of Boston. Honestly I'm shocked by this considering how good a team on paper the Bells are. I think they will need to talk with Bone before making a decision since he's been there for so long. I think Bone stays but I won't be surprised either way.

GM Hondo is one lucky guy. So is Jay Chill. The way the Seeds handled this was great and this is why I think the Seeds are hands down the best team in the FBL. They're still undefeated even with missing Chill for a few games. I see nothing but positives from Kentucky...and Chuckles Tree.

GM Jon and Geoff Hardy vs. Cazluc Vraba and Mrs. Vraba? I'M ORDERING THIS ON PPV RIGHT NOW! Moses Franks, Mike Flips, and Zapporah Franks will be there. My entire Bullfighters team will be there too.

Maverick Peters shattered his ankle, is done for the season, and his career is in jeopardy. I think it's safe to say the Stars playoff hopes are also shattered unless a few other teams fall apart. They will need to draft a scorer next season and should dare I say it expansion draft Peters. That is an option but Peters will retire if the injury is bad enough.

The Wolves are the luckiest team in the league. Mason Griffin wants to be a member of Wyoming for the remainder of his career. GM Death has to be a happy man. With how the first half of the season was for his team now they're on a huge success streak. Griffin wants to stay around, they win two games including being the first team to beat the Aces, and now all they have to do is get some rebounding and pay Griffin what he wants. Things are looking up for the Wolves.

Point guard controversy in Las Vegas. With losing to the Wolves and now this going on, I think this is a down week for the Aces. How the Aces handle this will be interesting but GM Dorling is a good decision maker. I'll be interested to see how he handles it.

Toppers should pay Joe Harding what his agent wants. He's worth it and is the best player on the team. Pay the man, he's worth it.

Same applies for the Aliens and Sean Rivers. GM Steven has done a tremendous job in Roswell and Sean Rivers is a big part of it. Rivers is one of the best players I've ever drafted and is worth the money. Solid team player who is a baller on the court.

Mark Brown has left Anchorage...yeah, he wasn't too appreciated. Maybe he'll be appreciated somewhere else. If I had a team he'd be an assistant coach that I'd be looking at but that's just me. GM Rebel needs to work better with his coaches. Same with GM Cory. A few GMs are getting bad reputations as being not good to work with as far as coaches are concerned which is not good for them in the long run.

I like how GM Strike handled the Xavi Madrid situation and his dealing with Spain. Great move for all involved.

Malik George is right about the Spuds. GM Powers has done a tremendous job in Boise turning it around. All they need is a scorer and they're set.

Robbie Wright wants to go to Pittsburgh. Dre Majors for Robbie Wright is a good deal for both teams considering how badly Majors meshes with his teammates in Pittsburgh.

Speaking of the Blades Mutu should be in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year. Dennis Reigns is the frontrunner followed by him in my opinion but that's just me.

Montana should let Cedric Malone sit out the rest of the season. He's not a good fit for that team at all and is creating problems for them that are unnecessary.

Mike Flips is the latest coach to sue the Dragons. GM Cory has made a mess of the team and it's not looking good for him. He needs to evaluate his approach to coaches and personnel in my opinion. Those are the two areas that cause him a lot of problems.

Bolak Huir says that the Steamers have lost respect for GM TyTy. TyTy in late breaking news has quit and wants to go to San Diego. The question is will any team let him GM with his history of leaving teams midseason after good starts that are soon followed by him single handedly destroying the team? It's a big maybe. He's the Mark Brown of GMs. He can't stick with a team for longer than five weeks without bolting. Hope he finds a team and sticks with it before he finds himself in Mexico replaced by a certain talon clawed GM hopeful I've heard on the grapevine is interested in joining the FBL.

Coach Buck Fender collapsing at practice is scary. Hope he is alright.

Creed Jackson thinks GM Josh is on the outs. One of the names that appeared in the running is my name. GM Cory's name popped up in the conversation too. Interesting...I'm intrigued by this. Hopefully they realize that I'm more of a people person than other top candidate Cory but you didn't hear that from me. :D

Two new teams coming to the FBL! I'm excited. Both teams have awesome logos and some interesting team owners. Sam Derango owns the San Diego Seagulls. El Stingo the famous Mexican wrestling superstar owns the Birmingham Green Hornets. I know him from my time here in Mexico and I HOPE he's a fan of me. Either way I have connections with both expansion teams so I'm HOPING one of them will pick me up as a GM. Oh yeah, Stingo, you're invited to my place to watch the big team wrestling pay-per-view wrestling match. You too, Derango. So is everyone else. I want to have a nice little party. Anyway, hoping to be back in the FBL next season whether it be in Honolulu, Birmingham, San Diego, or anywhere else. I WANT to come back to the FBL. I've sat out my season and watched other GMs, some of whom that have been making jokes at my expense, screw up just about everything. Been turning around two basketball programs at the same time so that is something to be taken into account. So, if anything, the playing field is level now. I hope everyone realizes that considering that GMs are in jail, have had multiple coaches leave their teams, and benching players without talking to them. The playing field is EVEN with the exception of GM's Hondo and Dorling who are running their teams at an elite level but that's nothing new. I'll be back next season but the question is where. Tune into the FBL to find out.

Now, with that said, adios amigos. Got to get ready to make my pitches to GMs and make my return to the FBL. Adios!

Not much happened this week as far as MVP Rankings go BUT the top 5 ladder is now expanded to a top 10 because of what's been going on player wise. Freddie Bishop, Scott Cunningham, Damore Richards, Kamil Bennett, and Mason Griffin along with the five previous ranked players are now the top 10. Here is the new top 10 MVP ladder. Scott Cunningham and Kamil Bennett are the biggest movers. Both players are in the top 5. Krease McCool has dropped and will likely continue the trend now that GM TyTy has bolted and his Steamers are now a GMless team for the rest of this season.

Franchise Top 10 MVP Ladder after week 4...
1.   Troy Marshall (Waves)
2.   Eddie Lights (Aces)
3.   Redford Shack (Aces)
4.   Kamil Bennett (Hayseeds)
5.   Scott Cunningham (Diamonds)
6.   Ricky Hallmark (Colonials)
7.   Damore Richards (Waves)
8.   Krease McCool (Steamers)
9.   Freddie Bishop (Hayseeds)
10.   Mason Griffin (Wolves)

The Return...
Now my search for a GM job is still on. I will not be going to either expansion team. GM Bone was hired to run the Birmingham expansion team and GM Jon is leaving Virginia to run the San Diego expansion team. That leaves both Virginia and Boston GMless. Virginia not having a GM is HUGE for the Eastern Conference. I like Jon's move but he has to stick around a team for more than a season again in my opinion and I think he will. GM Bone needed a change. I like this move as well. I think GM Stoner will take over either Virginia or Boston. There's a rumor GM Shields might return. I can see him in the other spot. Either him or GM Josh. Speaking of GM Josh he was fired from Honolulu for calling the owner "coach" according to my sources. Not a good move. GM TyTy also is on the market after leaving Mississippi which is his third team in three seasons. It'll be interested to see where he and Josh end up. GM Cory is still running the Dragons for now. I hope he can turn his luck around with coaches and make it work. My name is being talked for Honolulu. Honestly I hope it happens. I've been sitting on the sidelines for a season itching to get back into the grind. Like I said in my last edition, the playing field is even because of all the mistakes that happened this season from several GMs. Going to be interested to see where everyone ends up.

Anyway that's all for now. I'll update with a new edition after the next batch of games. Also don't forget to get your predictions league predictions in on time. For now, this is GM Franchise signing off from Tijuana.

You both should just wait until you're offered a job. Sending a letter to every team that is GMless, until you find one doesn't show an owner that you want to work for that team...just that you are desperate to find a job wherever.

Post by: Domingo on March 06, 2013, 10:06:11 AM
Yeah, but at this point do you think any owner is looking at James or Ty? No, they want a GM that they feel is going to benefit their team, and they are going to offer the job to the person that can do that before they are forced to settle.

Right now there are still other options out there, options that regardless of how much James believes he is more dependable and experienced, or how great Ty thinks he is at building a team and winning...I don't believe James ever had a winning season in the FBL, and Ty jumps ship as soon as his team starts having problems. Ty was ready to quit before the season started, and James wants us to believe that Franks became the best coach ever in Mexico and led a rag tag team of FBL failures to the playoffs...that isn't exactly what an owner is looking for.

Dom, did I ever say anything about Franks being a good coach? No. All I said was I was the current GM of the Tijuana Bullfighters. That was it since I don't know how the team is doing since there hasn't been a new story about them.

I'm just going to wait if I don't get Honolulu. Been waiting since last season which is why I want a team so bad. lol

Actually, James, you have mentioned that you turned the teams around and were making playoff runs...that kind of means Franks and the players have to be doing something right if they are making a case for the playoffs. I understand that there have not been any updates from Tijuana, but there doesn't really need to be, because it doesn't exist. What you should have done is sit out and relax and enjoy the game like Ian suggested, and I'm pretty sure in time he would've posted up something to give you an in...as was being hinted by in general news and in the volcanoes thread. Instead you got the name wrong of the owner who fired the last gm for calling him coach.

If they didn't exist then why are there players from there on the FA list? They're like Barcelona or Madrid but in Mexico. Same type of a deal from the looks of it. Secondly that stuff you mentionned was posted in my FBL blog, not in the team threads. Two entirely different things. Thirdly I mentionned turning around the lives of criminals specifically as being rewarding but of course you'll ignore that just like I'll ignore that you got Creed Jackson and Echo Walls mixed up in your comment this morning in the shoutbox about which one wanted to learn behind a veteran center. Fourth I have been sitting out. Have you not noticed? I'm not GMing a team, that's sitting out. Sitting out is not running a team for a season. That's what I've been doing. Also I like how you're ignoring the fact that Ty has been applying to every team to become a GM which has forced me to basically either do the same or risk sitting out another season. The risk is there again with Shields being back and there being more GMs than teams. Just wanted to point that out as well.

As a successful GM of the Manitoba Airplanes of the Fantasy Hockey League, I had begun to get disheartened by the politics of the league after its second lock-out and after my team was relocated to a 'bigger market' and renamed the Arizona Wild-Dogs. Known for making the big deals and being a friend to my small-market team, I planned on using the skills acquired in the FHL to find the same success in the FBL>

Mine would be a GM looking to redeem all of his past mistakes with the pressure to succeed knowing that this is his only shot to redeem himself and run a winning basketball team. Sent out of the states to run a team in Mexico I plan on returning to prove myself as a capable GM not just to myself but to the other FBL GMs, players, and fans alike.

There's probably an inversely proportional calculation between people posting in the OOC chat and success in the game.

You guys all over think it waaaaaaaaaayyy too much, to the point where logic goes entirely out the window. Look at the guys that have won the FBL (if winning the FBL is what you want to do) and learn to chill out a bit from them.

As for my persona? I'd be telling you all to sit down and learn some lessons right now, you bitter, jealous, FBL losing GMs. Mwuhahahaha.

I think you were better off in Boise ... you were one player , maybe two away from being a top team there , now you have to start from the bottom in the tough east ... you will have great players , but it not  a given there going to play well together or match up against other teams in the East

that is all I am saying ... got to do what you think it right ... but it same little to easy ... that a red flag

I just think the Spuds/Steamers thing has to be too good to be true. I mean, Dorling did get Lights back which was maybe the last 'too good to be true' moment, but made sense because of the bad trade that Lights had.

You we're essentially given a phenomenal team to work with next season, and unless you struck gold, something is brewing me thinks.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on March 07, 2013, 08:35:44 PM
Given a phenommenal team?  Stanza/Reigns/Bell I already had.  Coaches Hall and Smith I already had.  The Steamers bench and the Spuds bench are comparable (Spuds bench is probably better as a matter of fact).

I gained Krease McCool.  Yes, he is one HELL of a piece of my puzzle, but to say that I was "given" a phenommenal team, when I already had 3/4 of the core (or 5/6 if you count the Coaching staff), is a bit of a stretch.

I still have work to do.  I need a starting Center.  I'm probably going to move a few parts around on the bench.  I have contract issues to work out. 

People are making it sound like I was given a guaranteed 3 peat team or something, LOL.

I have to agree with Powers here.  After a historically bad team in Boise the past few seasons, Powers had that team competing for a playoff berth.  That's an astronomical feat and deserving of all the credit in the world.  He earned his "promotion" with Mississippi.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on March 07, 2013, 09:31:53 PM
Let's see what we have here...

GM Franchise
Honolulu: Called the owner Mr. Twinkie. Not getting a job there.

Boise: Make the franchise the laughing stock of the FBL. Put together the worst ensemble of a team in FBL history. Not get his job back there.

GM TyTy
Honolulu: Made his attempt, but used a EBWOP. Still not out of the realm of possibility of him landing there.

Boise: A franchise that is used to seeing GMs come and go may not have a problem with Ty.

GM Josh
Honolulu: His old job, was fired for calling the owner "coach". He's not getting re-hired.

Boise: I'm think he'll be Boise's first choice.

GM Talon
Honolulu: Not sure if he is playing or not, but this might be a good fit for him to com into.

Boise: If Josh doesn't land in Boise, I'd assume Talon would have a shot over Ty or Franchise.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Well then it looks like Josh in Boise and Ty in Honolulu because I can't see either team going with James for the reasons I already stated.

James needs someone to leave there job to go to Honolulu if he wants a shot to GM in Season 12.

Post by: Ty on March 07, 2013, 11:24:41 PM
Honolulu is in a bad spot right now, tons of cap room to play with though. Boise, despite losing a lot, have 4 draft picks picks so there wont be worry there.

What Id do in Honolulu: Step 1: Get George Nest back. Ive never worked with him, hopefully itd work out. After that, offer Lucic Chachenko the spot of assistant coach (assuming Duece disappears). Send  Keys to the expansion and, assuming Sparky still finds me scary, trade him to another team. Trade Echo for a SF and draft a PF with my first pick, SF with my second.

What I'd do in Boise: E
Malik George-7
SG/SF
5- 26yrs old
C
3
$4.50


Nyako Umjumbo-7
C
5- 28 yrs old
C
$4.50

Flash Davis-33
PG/SG
3- 24yrs old
C
PS
1
$3.00

Barry Kingman
PF
NC State
2- 27yrs old
D
DS
2
$2.00

Ramick Lazco-00
C
7'4
4- 29yrs old
C-
PS
2
$1.00

and with Jimmy (2 y. 7 mill) and Grizzla (2y 4 m) coming in, thatd put the cap at 25 mill with 20 to spare. With 4 draft picks, Id send Lazco and Kingman to the expansion and thatd give me 23 million to play with. The easy fix would be to play the draft but with two first round picks, Id weight my options. I might even trade both first rounders for a 'star' player and draft with the other two. For coaches, I would weigh me options but id see whats available first
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on March 07, 2013, 11:26:09 PM
Of course, this is all speculation. Things change too fast to be set in your ways here in the FBL. Getting Bolak was never in my plans but nobody doubted it was a good move lol
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on March 07, 2013, 11:34:19 PM
What I'd do in Honolulu: Keep the 5 starters and Walls. Draft a scorer, trade Walls for a decent PF/C, and draft a bench guy. Get two decent coaches and build from there.

Boise: Keep Umjumbo, Davis, George, Street, and Grizla. Trade two second round picks for a player and then draft two first rounders. For coaches same thing as in Honolulu. Get two decent coaches and build from the ground up. Priority would be drafting two guys who can make an immediate impact considering that the top guys from the team were traded.

Chucky Dorrance scored a point and four boards.

No turnovers.

Forget Cunningham, Creed, Reigns... Rookie of the year, right there.

For the record before anyone asks this season, I know there is less players than teams picking in the draft. This is done for a reason because I think one of the fun parts of this game is free agency and moving the right pieces of your chessboard into the right places at the right time.

If a team passes in the draft it goes to the next team...so teams will have to be on alert for free agents as well as college picks. This is so the league isnt overloaded with players as well if I am honest.

In terms of free agency signing for next season you are more than welcome to start looking at this in a few weeks so be prepared. Teams will also only be allowed to protect 6 players (max, but not min) for the expansion draft so bear that in mind.

Just a couple of notes.

PR increase hasn't come from Ian, just us GMs wanting it. Don't bank on it.

Malone reminds me of Cross...except with a bit of Vraba in the wackiness.

It's definitely a pet project for anyone gutsy enough to take it.

Q's Corner
Volume 2

Welcome to Q's Corner for my post Week 6 FBL column.

Lots of craziness happened in the league this week. The biggest news is of course coming from Boise, where GM Powers has reached a mega deal with the Mississippi Steamers that will send himself, his coaches, Ernie Bell, Dennis Reigns, and Ronnie Stanza to Mississippi in exchange for Mississippi's draft picks, Bolak Huir, Jimmy Street, Grizla Valinka, and Truck Lynch. Things are shaping out to be a good Season 12 for GM Powers and the Mississippi Steamers.

That wasn't the only trades that occurred this week. We also saw Creed Jackson traded to the Pittsburgh Blades in exchange for Country Sampson, Bernie Evans, and Pittsburgh's 1st Round pick. This gives the Blades that scoring threat they will need next season.

With that said, huge props to GM Powers and GM Lucha for impressive first seasons in the FBL. They are set-up to have successful sophomore seasons as well.

This week also saw the GM spots in Honolulu and Boise filled. GM Franchise is back!!! And on a island all by himself. But he isn't without pieces he can work with. With two 1st round picks under his disposal, he also has a re-emerged Country Sampson, a veteran Sparky Weasel, and a lock down defender in Lucic Chachenko. If Franchise can get a scorer or two in there, he might field his best team in his FBL career.

Down in Boise, they went with GM Ty. An interesting decision since Boise has just received players that Ty just left. It won't be an easy offseason for Ty, but he has been successful in the past in making up good teams in a offseason.

The last undefeated team suffered their first blemish this week with the defeat of the Kentucky Hayseeds by the red-hot Providence Diamonds. I don't think it's anything for Seeds fan to be concerned with other then they ran into a hot team on the road.

And about Troy Marshall? What a week he had, finishing with 97 points, 20 assists, 19 rebounds, 6 steals, and 4 blocks. His game against the Dragons might have been the single best individual performance in FBL history. He has firm control of the MVP race as he has now left Redford Shack in the dust. As hot as the Diamonds have been... the Waves might be the team to beat currently.

And lastly, playoff races are starting to heat up. It appears that Kentucky and Las Vegas have the 1 seeds locked up, barring any meltdowns. Puerto Rico, Texas, and Providence also find themselves sitting pretty in the East. In the West though... it's going to be a shootout to the finish. Seattle has pulled into the 2nd seed currently with Roswell in 3rd. For the 4th playoff spot, it's really up for grabs. Hollywood currently has it, but  Wyoming and Anchorage have risen from the dead and are tied with Montana and Boise just a half game back. Sure is going to be a fun finish in the Wild Wild West.

Now let's take a look at the goods...

If there is a cap increase this WILL NOT effect having free cap room for Season 12 for scouting. All scouting is done in Season 11 from Season 11's budget. I am saying this because every year someone asks me this.

The two expansion teams will receive their complimentary scouting reports as per usual.

FBL Franchised, Vol. 9 –

I'M BAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!:

Hello folks once again with FBL Franchised and I have excellent news...I'm BACK in the FBL. I am the new general manager of the Honolulu Volcanoes and boy am I excited. There's some talent on this team next season that I like. There's Darren McGwire, Echo Walls, Sparky Weasel, Lucic Chachenko, Bonba Elbomu, Bernie Evans, and Country Sampson. PLUS I got not one but TWO first round draft picks. Yeah, I like this team already. We got defense, we got scorers, and good ball handlers. Even though Creed is gone Echo Walls is still around and he can learn from Country, a veteran center, like he wants to. Evans and McGwire are good scorers. Add in Sparky's ball handling and Lucic's top level defense this team has it all minus the two first rounders. Good dynamic on the team. I will have to decide what to do expansion draft wise but it'll look good. Alright enough rambling from me. It's time to go to the Franchise VOLCANO CHARGED Power Rankings.

FBL Power Rankings, Week 6:
1.   Kentucky Hayseeds (9-1)
2.   Las Vegas Aces (9-1)
3.   Providence Diamonds (7-4)
4.   Puerto Rico Waves (8-3)
5.   Seattle Toppers (7-4)
6.   Texas Stallions (6-4)
7.   Wyoming Wolves (5-6)
8.   Roswell Aliens (6-5)
9.   Hollywood Stars (5-5)
10.   Montana Bears (5-6)
11.   Anchorage Glaciers (5-6)
12.   Pittsburgh Blades (5-6)
13.   Virginia Colonials (5-6)
14.   Mississippi Steamers (4-6)
15.   Boise Spuds (5-6)
16.   Tampa Bay Dragons (2-9)
17.   Boston Bells (2-9)
18.   Honolulu Volcanoes (1-9)

BIG changes in the power rankings. Ton of GM movement this week and some teams are without GMs so they all took tumbles. The big mover is the Wolves who are playing like a force of nature right now. Same with the Diamonds out East. Toppers made a big move as well. Diamonds and Wolves are my teams to watch. Both team are catching fire and I don't see anybody stopping them except maybe the top two teams the Aces and Hayseeds. In the playoffs I mean.

Random thoughts...
Willie Davies coaching the Glaciers is a good move by GM Rebel. However I hear they are interested in Lucic Chachenko and Bolak Huir. In related news I hear they'd have to give up an arm and a leg for Lucic according to my sources.

More point guard controversy in the Aces with the benching of Chi Chi Gonzalez in favor of Flan Bulous. I think the Aces will have to think about dealing one of them next season.

Joe Reed's mental issues with his second year slump is something GM Hondo will have to deal with going forward especially considering Chuckles is the back up. If Reed has a meltdown then the Seeds are going to be in serious, serious trouble.

Chui Mai wanting to get a contract extension is another major positive for the suddenly resurgent Wolves. First Griffin wants an extension then Swoop wants one and now Mai. Wyoming fans are rejoicing over this turnaround team.

I hate to say I told you so about Suziki Hondo but I did Waves fans. FBL Franchised, Vol. 1 –
QuoteSuziki Hondo is the most underrated player in the league who comes cheap. Recommended him in the preseason and glad someone got him.
Yeah, I called it before the season. Didn't expect Wright to fall apart this much but glad Hondo is getting a shot. The guy is a baller. I like the Wright for Dre Majors trade. Good deal for both teams involved.

Cedric Malone has lost his mind although what's he's been doing since leaving the Bears has amused me. I'm quickly becoming a fan. Watch out for those unicorns.

Bright Starr possibly being behind Xavi's kidnapping? This is not good for the Stallions. Hopefully this doesn't effect them going forward morale wise.

Carlos Moreno is now hunting dragons to rid the world of them. In related news he's still hunting down his basketball skills on a weekly basis in the FBL.

Country Sampson is trade bait alright. He'll be joining me in Honolulu next season along with Bernie Evans. This is smart trade by the Blades and the Volcanoes but also puts me in a bind expansion draft and college draft wise with what I'm going to do. Got a lot of thinking to do.

Colton Bunker is struggling to come to terms with life. His friendship with Chucky Dorrance will help them out in Mexico next season on the Bullfighters. Just a prediction.

Mark Peck is trying to rid the world of Wookies. Him, Moreno, and Malone should team up to form the FBL's version of the Justice League to rid the world of all imaginary creatures that are a nuisance to humanity.

Chucky Dorrance gets a pass from me since I'm his hero. Go slay that photo copier with your sword, kid.

Season 12 draft class has been announced. Good looking batch of talent.

Now for all the GM movement and trading. The Spuds got raped by the Steamers when GM Powers became the new GM of Mississippi and traded Ernie Bell, Ronnie Stanza, Dennis Reigns, and coaches Hall and Smith to Mississippi for Bolak Huir, Jimmy Street, Grizla Verenko, and Truck Lynch as well as both Mississippi draft picks. HUGE DEAL. Spuds got screwed big time on that deal. Luckily they have four draft picks to work with now. Another big deal was the Blades trading Bernie Evans, Country Sampson, and their first round draft pick to the Volcanoes for Creed Jackson. That's also a big deal but it helps both teams out. Volcanoes are going to be more solid all-around next season and the Blades get a scorer. Alright now to the GM movement. GM Jon went to the Seagulls. This move surprised me to be honest. He had a good team in Virginia but the pressure of being in the shadow of GM Dorling might've been a factor in this move. GM Bone went to the Green Hornets which is a good move for him. He needs a change of pace. GM Stoner, a new addition to the FBL, takes over the bells and GM Shields returns to run the Colonials. Shields is a good fit for the Colonials with his team managing style. GM TyTy will take over the Spuds and I hope he sticks with it. Stability is his biggest weakness. Mine is team managing skills. I will be back as GM of the Volcanoes. Got a solid team all around. Liking the pieces to the puzzle that are there. GM Josh is the odd man out. I hear that the Tijuana Bullfighters are on the market.

That is all for now. Moving to Honolulu. I'll catch ya'll next week. Go Volcanoes!

Looks like James has brought his same over-the-top, over hyping philosophy from when he was at Boise.

I want to help you James so let me show you the error in your line of thinking.

1. You don't have scorers. The best scorer on the Volcanoes will be a Blade next season. You're wrong, McGwire and Evans are not GOOD scorers. They are average at best.

2. You don't have that great of ball handling as Honolulu is the worst TO team in the league this season. Sparky has more turnovers then most other starting PGs this year.

3. Get rid of Echo Walls. He is a bust. You should have learned that the last time when you were in Boise. Echo needs a Redford Shack or Ty Williams to learn behind, not a Country Sampson. He should be the only player you don't protect.

4. You do have defense. Lucic is one of the best in the FBL, but it looks like he may be getting dealt to Anchorage potentially. Not sure if you will have a say in that or not. And Bonba is a great roleplayer. He does a lot of great things.

5. You need to get a scorer or two into Honolulu if you want to win games next season. Defense can keep you close in games, but offense ultimately will win you those close games. Sorry, but McGwire and Evans will not be the 1-2 punch to get you to the playoffs. Together they might average 20 points a game.

You need to start looking at things from a r elastic stand point and stop putting your players and your team on this pedastool of epic proportions. That's what landed you into Mexico in the first place.

Looks like James has brought his same over-the-top, over hyping philosophy from when he was at Boise.

I want to help you James so let me show you the error in your line of thinking.

1. You don't have scorers. The best scorer on the Volcanoes will be a Blade next season. You're wrong, McGwire and Evans are not GOOD scorers. They are average at best.

2. You don't have that great of ball handling as Honolulu is the worst TO team in the league this season. Sparky has more turnovers then most other starting PGs this year.

3. Get rid of Echo Walls. He is a bust. You should have learned that the last time when you were in Boise. Echo needs a Redford Shack or Ty Williams to learn behind, not a Country Sampson. He should be the only player you don't protect.

4. You do have defense. Lucic is one of the best in the FBL, but it looks like he may be getting dealt to Anchorage potentially. Not sure if you will have a say in that or not. And Bonba is a great roleplayer. He does a lot of great things.

5. You need to get a scorer or two into Honolulu if you want to win games next season. Defense can keep you close in games, but offense ultimately will win you those close games. Sorry, but McGwire and Evans will not be the 1-2 punch to get you to the playoffs. Together they might average 20 points a game.

You need to start looking at things from a r elastic stand point and stop putting your players and your team on this pedastool of epic proportions. That's what landed you into Mexico in the first place.

Dude, calm down. This entire post has me shaking my head.

1. The fact that you actually are taking any of what I said about what I'm planning with a grain of salt is hilarious. I even posted that I was rambling about it which should tell you something but of course you'll overlook that. I don't have end of the season stat sheets so nothing is set in stone yet.

2. You actually think I don't have a plan. I've saved all the team stat sheets for the Volcano games on my laptop which should tell you that I'm evaluating EVERYTHING especially player game statistics. In other words nothing is set in stone until I evaluate contracts, game stats, etc. So what I'm saying is RELAX. Season isn't even over yet and I'm not making any immediate snap decisions that have screwed me in the past.

3. Funny how you're telling me to get rid of Walls when almost everyone warned you about Vraba preseason and you didn't listen. To answer this I'll redirect you to my previous response in #2.

4. I agree on this point. As far as Anchorage goes, it'd have to be a good deal for me to even consider trading one of the top five defensive players in the whole league. Ty's point about retirement is a good one. I do have an idea of where to go with him if he does want to retire.

5. You think I don't know this already?! smh I have two first round draft picks so what do you think I'm going to be doing with them? Get two all around ball players. Rome wasn't built in a day and this team won't be either. McGwire and Evans both average over 20 combined. I know McGwire alone averages maybe 12 a game.

Don't tell me to look at things from a realistic stand point when I flat out said this when you did this same similar reaction week one...

I'm trying to keep it as in character as possible so I went that route with it. Figured it was logical and would add some character to it.

Like I said, calm down and relax. Now my advice to you is to relax and quit getting worked up over nothing. Think of Charles Barkley meets Skip Bayless as my in-character blog persona. Funny quips mixed with stubborn stances, i.e. putting team on a pedestal, saying that the season 10 Spuds were a "force of competitive nature," continuing to be positive about the Spuds after they scored 33 points in a game, etc. In other words that's how my character was in the past so decided to keep it going as the in character blog persona. Just wanted to point that out before you "drop another bomb"...other than signing Vraba that is. :P

This is probably why the Owners hire GMs, because they expect GMs to make sound basketball decisions. I like this mechanic of the owners being a little more gullible. It means GMs aren't rewarded as much for changing teams.

Walton is playing well this season - very up and down.  One game he has 20, the next game he'll drop 2.  I had to overpay to get him last season, so he's got an ugly contract.

Pretty much what Reb said. Walton has better upside I think, but the contract difference is $3 mil. I'm not sure Walton is $3 mil better than George. Walton did seem to have good leadership qualities while at Pittsburgh, so you'll have good captain potential there.

Look at it like this. There's one positive to come out of this: a San Diego vs. Honolulu rivalry out West.

Also BD exceeded his salary cap which is not good for him.

Now, the game is very fun to play and has even got me interested in NBA. I know positions and how to read stat-lines now thanks to this game. regards to basketball, I've been trying to get into it more, but still struggle to watch anything thats not the final 2 minutes of a game.

I still think this a one sided trade and basically made Anchorage the best defensive team in the FBL next season and they're in my conference. This doesn't help my team short term or long term when you look at it at a team perspective considering we play them twice next season and also this...

Chris Jones was at 6 million but his contract is expiring. He's want 8 million which might put him into contention zone for trouble (hopefully not).

41 million so far

If he keeps Tiny, that'll have him at 43 million with 2 players  left to sign.

If that salary cap increase doesn't go through.... please lol. I wouldnt mind getting Chris Jones though, seems like a good starter

I like how it's assumed that only the GMs who've moved teams have protested too much. May I direct you to last season when Dorling and Hondo protested the fines/suspensions of their players during the Colonials/Seeds game altercation and the Waves earlier this season going over the PR cap which was protested as well.

FBL-A-Palooza Part X7: The Showcase of (Non)Immortals
Where the weird is just more likely to get weirder!
By "That Strike Guy" on March 11, 2013


If there is one thing that always holds true, it is that we're overflowing with killer story lines as we head closer and closer to an eleventh season of FBL playoffs! We've already seen what happens when Chucky Dorrance gets exposed to this thing we call "real life" and more likely than not, another player is going to see somebody climbin' in their windows and trying to snatch people up like Alex K on Mardi Gras. But enough about Kenny Freeman's distant cousin, let's get to banging out (hold the Mike Flips jokes, please – we'll have plenty of time for those here today) a late midseason mailbag. As always, these are actual e-mails from completely fictional (and delusional) readers.

Q: Who will win the tag match, The Vrabas or Geoff Fardy and GM Jon?
- James V., San Diego, CA

TSG: Ah yes, the entire debacle that has taken on a life of its own since the events that have occurred in Virginia over this season. We all know Cazluc Vraba was one missed shot away from going into "jumping on gravel from the top off a car and calling it suicide" mode and the All-Star three-point contest proved to be the absolute perfect storm for him. Between Fardy's devotion to these Colonial men translating into crappy poetry and wrestling moves to a woman that makes Zipporah Franks look like a fair maiden and the in-office sexual/racist events that led to GM Jon's arrest in a Manassas jail for the better part of a week...

Welp, between all the missed roundhouses, crowd spots, possible El Stingo interference and an anti-climatic ending, it's going to be an overbooked barn buster. Kinda like Eddie Phoenix's reign as CRW World champion, except with a bit more heat.

(Kidding, Eddie. But ¡ARRIBA DIEGO! for life)

Q: What teams do you think are the most fun?
- James F., Honolulu, HI

TSG: I'm totally into those Denver Landslides of the FHL – they just got done beating the Illinois Whitehawks and California Dolphins in a row. Trust me...big wins and all that. Oh, I guess I'm a fan of the way that the Puerto Rico Waves are playing as of recent too – they play an up-tempo style of basketball and Troy Marshall leading that offense has been the stuff of legends this season. I don't think we've seen this level of a MVP-caliber season since Eddie Lights during Seasons 6 and 7...and that is some high praise, right there, given that it's not as if Lights has lost a step. Although he did lose his smile when he was a Boise Spud for the better part of 48 hours. Speaking of the Spuds...

Q: What in the world is Pu Ta To thinking?  First he trades for all the Mississipi Steamers players but leaves behind their best one while trading every good player he had AND every coach he had ... and then bringing back the same GM who assembled that Steamers team in the first place after being caught with his coach in the middle of coitus!  There has to be an answer that involves the words "nude photos" and "or else"
- "The Last Spud Fan Alive" Curly Fry, Boise, ID

TSG: You do realize this is also the same owner who once hired Franchise to run the ship with a bunch of roleplaying rookies (whose only bright side was seeing one of the Ferndale trio, which got stale after they watched Mason Griffin put 37 points on their squad in a row), Moses Franks at coach AFTER the prior GM let Redford Shack and Flan Bulous basically walk for greener pastures (and with a few extra stylish coats, given Flan's taste in fashion), yes?

Q: Who makes worse trades, the team owners or GM Franchise?
- El Matador de Pollos, Tijuana, Mexico

TSG: Valid question. While the ingenuity of a pair of owners (we won't be speaking names...but one is associated with potatoes and the other made his living/retirement home/a coat made of hookers' faces on smut) pretty much landed Anchorage a shutdown pair that's very likely going to haunt the Western Conference in Season 12 (and beyond, provided Lucic doesn't hang up the sneakers), let's take a look at the history of Franchise trades:

• The number #8 (which eventually went to Boston, Bob Breaker) and #16 (D'Amore Richards) overall picks in Season 6 from Las Vegas for Eddie Lights
• Three-team trade where the Stallions got Kamil Bennett, Toppers 1st round pick (Season 7 – Hans Stimmar), Bells got Willie Davies and the Toppers got Kadeon Apollo, Stars S7 2nd round pick (Sunshine Stream) and their own 2nd round pick back (Tony Luco) from the Stallions.
• Eventually turning around and trading Apollo (even if Biology had taken him over) alongside James Cross and Sheldon Day to the Hollywood Stars for Truck Lynch, Smiley Huffers and Sparky Weasel
• ...D'Amore Richards to the Bells for Tony Massimo
• ...then sending Tony Massimo to the Stars for a S8 2nd rounder (Ramick Lazco) and...get this...SCOUTING REPORTS!

Note that this is just his history during his time in SEATTLE...

Seriously, not even Jordan Brandon could dream up a more reckless GM than this guy!

(Don't you bring up Spike Spillbury, former GM of the FHL's New York Peninsula and Mick DiVietro's 15 year, $67.5 million contract...DON'T YOU DO IT!!!!)

Q: Will Chuckles Tree or Sabba have a heart attack by the end of the season?
- Clipper, Los Angeles, CA

TSG: Sabba's already a few steps ahead of Chuckles, given what happened during preseason. Y'know, clumsy and dim as he may be, Chuckles is probably one of the nicest players one will meet. He always seems to have a fun time just getting in the court, bless his soul. Not to mention signing autographs for all five of his fans during pre-game warm-ups. Although Hayseeds fans aren't too happy with the fact that last call has been adjusted to happen just after half-time instead of the third quarter, too afraid that Chuckles over there tries to raid the entire supply if he scores more than a point in a game.

...you watch it happen, Hayseeds fans. You just watch.

Q: What's your verdict on the two new expansion teams that came into the FBL this season?
- Eileen, Chicago, IL

TSG: It's been a very interesting thing to watch – Providence looked a little rocky at the start, but with a top-tier coach like Bogolov, the FBL's future in Scott Cunningham (you just watch, world) and a good core behind him already with his old partner Bobby Chang at the 1 spot, a resurging Kadeon Apollo and guys like Kradle, Butch Paul, O'Neal and Bael playing their roles, Providence is looking to make some noise in the East. Honolulu, on the other hand, not off to the best start. Their GM seemed a bit too overwhelmed in press conferences, George Nest decided he enjoyed the beaches more than coaching a basketball team, then there was the Creed Jackson PR debacle and now that GM Underpants was relieved of his duties, Franchise has taken the team over, Creed Jackson is off to Pittsburgh in a multi-man trade, Lucic is a Glacier due to a trade done by their owner and...well, survey says that it may be a while before the Volcanoes erupt in the West.

Q: Did the Commissioner give GM Franchise Honolulu because he expects Global Warming to finally rid him of the GM that won't go away.  HOW DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB!!??
- The Hot Lava Crew, Honolulu, HI

TSG: (Thinking)

(Still thinking)

...

(Still thinking)

...I got nothing.

Q: When did "SHACKPOT" become the catchiest phrase in all of sports? I was so confident that it'd be something more like "The dice comes loaded!"
- Sandy, Las Vegas, NV

TSG: ...

Shut up Sandy, you're drunk!

Q: Did GM Shields just pull a Michael Shawn when he lost his smile?  Michaels didn't want to drop the belt so he faked an injury to avoid Grett Bart at ManiaWrestle 13.  Fast Forward to November and Shawn is screwing Grett over throwing him out of the company and taking the belt off him.  How is that any different from Shields retiring from the Blades out of concern for his schedule and then coming back no less than 6 weeks into the season on the Colonials!!  I get the guys got a good reputation but he just went from Greg Walton and Dre Majors to Clint Danberry and Ricky Hallmark!
- Diego de la Vega, Mexico City, Mexico

TSG: The accompanying video for that e-mail...

Shawn Michaels - Tell Me a Lie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hScbdBtJaM4#)

Q: You have established the Levels of Losing. This whole Cedric Malone thing has got me thinking of the Levels of Indefensibly Defending Sports Figures. There has to be a certain level to where you can't defend your favorite stars without coming off as a pathetic, nonsensical fan. If there were five levels in all, the Bad Boys of Seattle supporters would be the highest (Level 5). Closeness Brothers' fans are a 4 but dying to be a 5. Every Montana fan that's even dreaming of defending Cedric right now would probably be a 3 (with the chance to climb). This idea is in its infancy stages, how can you help?
—Joe, Syracuse, NY

TSG: Oh come on, you barely need any tweaking! You were right there like the Hayseeds on the verge of a title until X and GoGo retired! Oh fine, I'll help. You should have gone with six levels (you missed one).

Level 1: Reserved for harmless stuff — like Texas fans defending Willie Davis every time he acted like a bully or a complete a-hole after blocking a shot on somebody (just due to the whole 'because he's on our team and we love him and that's what you do when it's your guy'), or Cowgirls fans blindly defending Antonia Roma's litany of choke jobs just because they love Antonia Roma, or Hollywood (and Puerto Rico...and Virginia...) fans refusing to admit that Scott Fletcher is an occasionally dirty player, or Wyoming fans arguing that Larry Stevens really DID have some clutch moments (cue Seattle fans sighing and shaking their heads). All benevolent fan-defending goes here.

Level 2: A blown-out version of the first level — the stakes are a little higher only because there's a little more of that hits-too-close-to-home sensitivity. Like how Crows fans fly off the handle every time someone jokes about Bay Louis's incident from 2000 or Stallions fans after Nestgate. Yes, you could throw Calamenta and the Wolves fans in here.

Level 3: Any longtime R.J. Gimpson fan now making the "If we're going to make excuses for Senior Beau, why can't we make the same excuses for everything that happened to R.J. after he retired? What if he has CTE, too?" defense. This gets its own level. Jury is still out on the CTE R.J. defense. I wouldn't start pushing for it yet – could easily go the way of Cazluc Vraba's Wacky Adventures in Puerto Rico.

Level 4: Any Wyoming, Virginia, Puerto Rico, Anchorage and Virginia (again) fan pushing the whole "Look, Cazluc is the one who's a victim here!" scenario. If you play the misunderstood/tortured soul angle hard enough, the "victim" door is juuuuuuuuuuuuuust open enough that they don't sound completely insane. Just marginally insane.

Level 5: Anyone defending cheaters of any kind with the always hilarious "We don't know for sure" defense or the equally hilarious "Come on, everyone may likely be cheating, any competitive person would have done what they did" defense. All PED defenses go here. So does everyone defending Mance Barnstron's last two decades of lying/cheating/bullying/threatening/intimidating because "he did some real good, too."

Level 6: Not gonna lie...definitely the Seattle Toppers' Bad Boy era. Just, there's really no way you can defend that nonsense. At all. I still credit it as the reason why Ted Mackay went senile after a trip to Hollywood and why Mike Flips went from sound basketball mind to the guy better known for porking Moses Franks' sister and Flipsopoly.

Q: Who is better, Chucky Dorrance or Moses Franks?
- "BBFL" Jim, Seattle, WA

TSG: Somewhere out there, Mitcah Verenko and his 3.1 turnovers a night are crying that he's not in contention for this "esteemed" award.

Plus, Moses Franks blocked five shots once. Yeah. That game actually happened.

I still wonder who was on top of his sister that night...

Q: While we may have been the last undefeated team in the FBL, the idea of a Dorling-led Las Vegas Aces meeting us in the FBL Finals scares the living piss out of me. That no-good, loudmouthed S.O.B. has seemingly been our practical boogeyman ever since he started GMing the Colonials. First, it was fun and games...his teams would get close but not beat us. Then, all the sudden the bastard gets his hands on Fletcher and we're biting his damn dust until he moves to Vegas...God almighty, let it be anyone but the Aces in the West.
—Josh, Paducah, KY

TSG: With the exception of their Week 9 game in Season 8 (104-88 Hayseeds) and Week 5 of Season 10 (105-98 Colonials), if research does not fail me (more often than not, it doesn't) no game between points in Hayseeds vs. Dorling era Colonials games did the winning team win by more than 5 points. Which is downright impressive. Then consider the team that Dorling assembled in Vegas and well, Josh, I can understand why you're scared. However, don't think for a second that much like BJ Winchester that GoGo Frazier would LOVE to stick it to old Johnny Bunt for a third time in some odd years, if both teams do get to that point. The road to the FBL Championship is a trick one, my friend. Nobody ever saw the Montana Bears making it to the dance last season given the rough patch they went through since the franchise's inception.

Q: I know you are all for conspiracy theories and such, but doubting the good word of a great American like Vernon Nelson when he claims GM Bone is an unpatriotic swine leads me to ask you this, Strike Guy...are you, indeed, a filthy terrorist from South America?
- Paulie, Boston, MA

TSG: Welp, time to start our competition for snarkiest e-mail to end this mailbag...

Q: El Stingo...great Mexican luchador...buys an FBL expansion team and moves it to Alabama.  Ned Zolter does not approve.

Q: TyTy burns through more FBL franchises than the Ontario Maple Leafs run through #1 centers before trading them away and stockpiling for mediocre talent that never turns out to be anything special.

TSG: Ladies and gentlemen, your Season 9 Ontario Maple Leafs. Oh, almost there...

Q: Weeks ago, your declaration of support for a possible Texas Stallions playoff run just couldn't be more preposterous. They're now missing their second best scorer in Xavi Madrid, operating on a seven man rotation and Brandon Carty's probably soiling his pants now that his son declared for the draft. C'mon Strike Guy...that's like saying Leander Apollo, and not Jason Proctor, was the better half of the Marriage of Convenience!

I like the second deal of getting Walls to play behind Nelson.  I think that's a good fit and someone will finally be able to get something out of Walls.

This was what I had planned if I got San Diego, lol. Walls playing behind Nelson. I like that deal.

A lot of money for a poor player, a big risk, probably not worth it at all
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on March 12, 2013, 09:53:35 AM
Realistically I'm looking for a bench guy with my draft pick (and POTENTIALLY might not even use it at all... I have something I want to have a look at). Didn't want lowball Twinkle too too much, not with lock time closing in and a bunch of deals having already been made.

And I scouted Walls at the beginning of the season and got told he needs someone experienced to play behind and learn from. In fact, I got encouraged to sign Walls if I had the chance. Nelson is exactly the sort've player who can help him develop. Walls is only going to be 24 next season, that's plenty of time to learn.

Also, so far as cap-space goes, it's not like I'm going to be hurting for it after losing Maverick - especially if the cap increases. I only have one player who is on a lot of money (DeShawn). - my next two highest contracts are Valentine at 6.5 and Stream at 6. Walls effectively makes the same as Fields (when you take Fields' PR into account). My weakness has been consistently pointed out as a lack of a natural centre and a lack of overall height, this covers both bases. (and heck, I've still done okay even with that issue and a terrible terrible player on the bench. Both of which were my fault, ofc, but y'know)

Heck, I'm not calling it the best move in FBL history, but I do think it's one that works well for my team. And if nothing else... he can't POSSIBLY be worse off the bench than Dorrance.

It's a decent move on Jen's part. Though Nelson wanted to test free agency and his agent wants some big PR money so there's that, he might not have wanted the trade. The deal hurts Boston a little bit as Stoner is forced to protect Nelson now and release someone else more useful to the team.

I was trying to figure out the Nelson deal, too. In my opinion Bells lucked out, because they actually dont have to protect someone they don't have under contract.

Thank you kindly - and to TyTy, Hondo, Rebel, Libre and BD for the kind words as well. It was a ton of fun to write and once Ian does finish the regular season sim, I'm confident in going for a second, All-Playoff mailbag edition. I'll give you guys a heads-up when I start so you can just PM me questions - be it serious, silly, a mix of both, etc. This is for fun, after all. lol

FBL Franchised, Vol. 10,
Dormant Volcano:

Hello once again FBL fans. This is GM Franchise with another edition of FBL Franchised but I have to warn you. The volcano known as GM Franchise is dormant...for now. Got a lot to say about the trades that have gone down in Volcano Nation especially one in particular. But, for now, it's power rankings time!

FBL Power Rankings, Week 7 –
1.   Kentucky Hayseeds (11-1)
2.   Las Vegas Aces (10-2)
3.   Puerto Rico Waves (9-4)
4.   Providence Diamonds (8-4)
5.   Montana Bears (7-6)
6.   Texas Stallions (8-4)
7.   Roswell Aliens (7-5)
8.   Seattle Toppers (7-5)
9.   Anchorage Glaciers (7-6)
10.   Hollywood Stars (6-6)
11.   Wyoming Wolves (6-7)
12.   Pittsburgh Blades (5-8)
13.   Tampa Bay Dragons (3-9)
14.   Virginia Colonials (6-7)
15.   Mississippi Steamers (4-8)
16.   Boise Spuds (5-8)
17.   Boston Bells (2-11)
18.   Honolulu Volcanoes (1-11)

A lot of movement from the teams that have GMs. The teams without GMs moved down. Simple as that. Strength of the team's play this week decided the res t of the positioning in the rankings.

Random thoughts...
The Dragons both lost a lawsuit to Mike Flips and found out that both Rekov and Gilkansious are retiring. Dragons out of all the GM'd teams are in the worst shapes.

Djem Maluka is the unheralded hero of the Waves. He's a under the radar guy that deserves more attention. But that said with all the weapons the Waves have they are going to be a force this year in the playoffs.

David Kradle and GM Rob are about to go to war. *gets popcorn* Hey Dave, there's a place for you in Honolulu next season. Get at me, bud.

Chuckles Tree was wedding crashing for food. In other news the sky is blue and the Hayseeds are at the top of the league table.

JJ Rogers has become the most dangerous point guard in the league. The Stallions are rolling even without Xavi and are going to be a handful for whayever team gets them in the playoffs round one.

I'm sorry but Dre Majors is right about the Blades. They traded two of their only four guys who can score a decent amount for Creed Jackso. LOL LOL I'm laughing out loud. Mutu would've been a nice edition to this trade but I know GM Pancho wouldn't have budged on him. Solid trade for the Volcanoes.

The Montana Bears are officially back. Aces, watch out. They're coming for you and the way they're playing they will beat you. Not kidding.

Bad news for GM Death. He has a player revolt on his hands after the Ferndale Scandal because of going over the budget. Ching Bu is not amused and I'm thinking he's not alone. He will have to tread lightly or trade some of the disgruntled players to other teams. *cough* Bu for Chin Chik *cough*...I mean, trade them in the offseason.

I feel bad for Maverick Peters. He's got a lot going on in his life. I sense a Maverick vs. Stars war on the horizon. In other news GM Jen traded her first round pick to MY Honolulu Volcanoes for a first rounder next season...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! *ahem* I mean, now I have to protect him for the expansion draft. Lucic and Creed too but I'll get into the Lucic part in a second. First...

SABBA!

Sabba was mistaken for a yeti in Alaska today and was shot in the ass three times. In other news the Glaciers literally stole Lucic Chachencko from my Volcanoes for Malik George. Am I happy over this? Hell no. For one thing ANY trade proposed to me for Lucic would be vetoed because he was NOT on the trade block to begin with. But that's not the only reason I hate this deal with a passion. Look at it like this from this perspective. Anchorage will have Lucic AND Bolak Huir next season. We have to play them twice next season. That equally makes this a bad trade just for that fact alone. If I had my way, this trade would've been vetoed on the spot. Instead I lose Lucic in a trade that I think is a joke and there's nothing I can do about it which really set me off when I first heard the news. I hope this trade backfires on the Glaciers next season. I really do. Ok rant over, let's move on the other things in the news. I've said my piece and am officially done talking about it.

Toppers bench guys are boring. Yeah, no shit. In other news the other five guys have them in playoff contention.

Bernie Class wants to move back to PF next season and I agree with him on this. It's the best place for him to play at.

Redford Shack blew up about Chi Chi Gonzalez and I gotta side with Chi Chi on this. Chi Chi has been playing good this season and was disrespected. He'll likely want out of Vegas because of this unless something majorly changes between now and the offseason.

That's all for now. Tune in to FBL Franchised next week and also Predictions Game will be updated shortly. Later peeps.

For what it's worth, I think it'll pay dividends should you keep that tandem for the next two seasons. Could possibly see Echo's rising at least rise to a C- like Lazco's has been for seasons or better. #WaitAndSee

Still don't think he was worth trading a first rounder for when you need a SG to replace Maverick.

Abrax will do for now.

I can't stop up every hole simultaneously. Abrax is a decent starter at either guard position. If the opportunity arose to trade up, then yeah, I'd be thinking about taking it, but there's only so much I can do.

Question guys.  Last season, Franchise got fired, and I took over Boise.  The thread was locked, but I made a deal with Jon to trade my 2nd rounder for Flash Davis.  It went through, and there was no issue.

Now, it seems that GM's that have changed teams (myself, Ty...) have to wait until the end of the season to make trades.  I don't understand what is different between now and then.

You guys made a gentlemans trade and everyone was nice enough not to botch it. Truth is the teams did not belong to you yet, so if someone wanted to do what is happening now, you would have no say in it because you were not the GM's yet.

I think once the season is done and the draft is done we are going to have a break from FBL. As much as I enjoy it, I obviously have quite a bit on my plate right now. Further to this, people seem to be getting either frustrated with the game or a bit snipey with it. I created this whacky world to have fun and be completely bonkers in some arenas, some stuff I have seen lately in reaction to OOC and what not has made me feel we need a BREAK from the game and not just for my own reasons.

So...once Season 11 is done and we have got the Season 12 draft out the way. I think a few weeks hiatus plus would do the game good. I also realize there are some people who are happy with the extremity of the FBL and play the game for fun only. The break is more to do with my own personal reasons than anything else, but like I said the factor of some of the OOC recently being a bit unexpected and it becoming a bit obsessive for some I feel this is the best interests of the longevity of the game.

Dude, you're getting married. Don't worry about it, we can definitely wait until you're all set.

Until that time, we'll just continue to torture James, BD and TyTy (in good fun) and keep ourselves busy in other forms, etc. I know things may seem a little on the edgy/crazy side (especially as of late), but at the end of the day, I definitely think you couldn't ask for a better group of guys and gal to play this out.

This is the FBL after. First off I'd like to offer my condolences to Chucky Dorrance and his family. I'm sorry for your loss. The kid was a fan of mine so hopefully his killer is brought to justice. Now it's time for the usual Franchised FBL rankings, analysis, and stat lines.

FBL Power Rankings:
Here are the FBL Power Rankings after week 8...
1.   Texas Stallions (10-4)
2.   Montana Bears (9-6)
3.   Kentucky Hayseeds (12-2)
4.   Puerto Rico Wave (11-4)
5.   Las Vegas Aces (11-3)
6.   Seattle Toppers (9-6)
7.   Anchorage Glaciers (8-6)
8.   Roswell Aliens (8-6)
9.   Providence Diamonds (8-6)
10.   Hollywood Stars (7-7)
11.   Tampa Bay Dragons (5-9)
12.   Pittsburgh Blades (5-6)
13.   Wyoming Timberwolves (6-9)
14.   Virginia Colonials (6-8)
15.   Boise Spuds (5-9)
16.   Boston Bells (3-12)
17.   Mississippi Steamers (4-10)
18.   Honolulu Volcanoes (1-13)

Rankings are all over the place. Top six are a crapshoot for the FBL championship as far as I'm concerned. Aces, Hayseeds, Waves, Stallions, Toppers, and Bears all are legit threats to win the championship. MAJOR props go out to GM Domingo and GM Jag for turning their teams around this season after poor starts. Same can be said to GMs Strike and Justin but to a lesser degree. More of team chemistry taking a few weeks to come together . Tampa Bay has shown tremendous improvement the last two weeks. I'm excited to see how they gel next season. Timberwolves need to get it together because they are starting to fall apart. Everyone else is doing about the same as last week except for the motivation issues for the Aliens and Wolves.

Franchised Players of the Week:
West –
Eddie Lights (Aces, vs. Volcanoes): 32 pts, 3 rbs, 6 stls

Top 10 MVP Ladder –
1.   Troy Marshall (Waves)
2.   Kamil Bennett (Hayseeds)
3.   JJ Rogers (Stallions)
4.   Scott Cunningham (Diamonds)
5.   Eddie Lights (Aces)
6.   Redford Shack (Aces)
7.   Freddie Bishop (Hayseeds)
8.   Damore Richards (Waves)
9.   Reggie Jones (Dragons)
10.   Krease McCool (Steamers)

Troy Marshall and Kamil Bennett are a two horse race for the MVP. Overall, spanning the entire season, those are the two best players with Rogers, Cunningham, Lights, and Shack being on their heels. However there's one name I want to bring up that isn't even on the radar and that's Reggie Jones. Very little fanfare and putting up MONSTER stats every game the past three weeks or so. Second best rookie this season yet he's not getting much hype. If I was a Dragons fan I'd be very excited for my future now that Lee, Jones, and Reed are the three man knockout punch that the Dragons have been looking for. And how did this guy not get drafted higher is what I want to know. He's playing out of his mind. Only rookie I can compare to Cunningham who is hands down the rookie of the year. But Scotty, watch out. Mr. Jones is coming for you and he's a baller. Looking forward to many Dragons vs. Diamonds games down the line with those two going at it.

Honorable mention goes to both Ronnie Stanza and Dennis Reigns. Their team being in autolock is honestly the only reason they are not in the top 10. Both are having a tremendous rookie campaign.

Top 5 Bench Ladder:
1.   Sunshine Stream (Stars)
2.   Harry Allan (Bears)
3.   James Cross (Colonials)
4.   Jamal Tees (Aliens)
5.   Massimo Torre (Stallions)

Sunshine Stream is basically the entire bench for the Stars and is still putting up a tremendous stat line. He had only one so-so game all season and is my frontrunner for Sixth Man of the Year. Torre has come on strong the second half of the season. Cross and Allan along with Stream are the front runners. Tees has been great off the bench as well all season long.

Random thoughts...

Brady O'Shady calling out GM Rob in public is not a good thing for the Diamonds moving forward morale wise. Honestly I don't blame O'Shady and I'm glad he stuck to his guns. We need more of that with GMs trying to raid the teams without GMs before the offseason. For obvious reasons I'm siding with the Bells on this one. Good for them.

The Hollywood Stars are now taking a cap hit for SIX...yes, that is not a typo, SIX seasons because of the Chucky Dorrance firing which will effect them going forward. With these mentally unstable players you have to tread carefully. That wasn't done here and this was the result. Feel bad for all parties involved. Not a good match for either the player or GM personality wise from the looks of it. Dorrance needs both basketball help and professional mental health help in my opinion.

Increased cap and public relations cap space next season. Liking this a lot considering I'm back next season. Going to be good times.

I like how Leighton Lee put that idiot fan in his place. The Dragons are going to be good next season if managed correctly by GM Cory. Just needs one more piece to the puzzle and they can contend for the playoffs next season.

Kamil Bennett has every right to take a shot at Troy Marshall. However I think Marshall needs to come back this week and show some fire about this because I wouldn't mind a showdown in the playoffs between these two. Let the war of words begin.

Gotta agree with Damore Richards about the Waves. They are becoming a force in the East again and I think a lot of teams should be worried about them going forward.

The natives are restless in Providence and David Kradle is the voice of their restlessness. GM Rob is going to have a tough task this last week to try and get some momentum going into the playoffs. How he handles this latest PR flap will determine a lot.

Bernie Evans, the mild mannered kid on the Blades, has questioned GM Libre's managerial skills. This will be an interesting situation to follow this week since Evans is out of there following this week.

Cowboy Bob Starr has called GM Strike the best GM in Texas history. I don't blame him after how well this season has gone. Although it might be a bit premature. He might want to wait until the Stallions win the FBL Championship to make this proclamation but that's just my opinion on it.

Redford Shack lost it and got ejected from the Aces/Bears game and is suspended this week for the Aces game against Seattle. This is the second time in a week that Shack has blown up about something and GM Dorling may have to lay down the law once again in Vegas.

Rich Deane and GM Domingo have every right to be happy with how the Toppers are playing. Seattle is headed back to the playoffs and Deane is putting up monster stat lines again.

Vegas wanting to deal for Harry Allan? This intrigues me greatly. I wonder how this will play out? Allan is a hot commodity on the trade block and I'm assuming more than one GM has made an offer for him.

Champ Martin says the Aliens are coasting to the playoffs. At this rate they won't even make the playoffs. Glaciers and Stars are on their heels this final week. They need to find something and soon otherwise it'll be a long offseason in Roswell.

Coach Jin Sui possibly going to Milan? More good news for GM Death who's team is in revolution mode. GM Death needs to ride out the final week and lock in for the offseason before the natives get even more restless. Cut his losses and move on from there.

Nick Bliss is apparently a doomsday prepper preparing for the zombie apocalypse...well at least that job goes with his glasses. He looks like a doomsday prepper.

One last thing. Let me show this.

Someone needs to get Swoop McCarthy a blow out kit. My aunt was a cosmetologist. It's something you do to the hair to get the kinks out. And get him some green grease. We need to get that hair relaxed or do something, man. Need to do something about that hair.

Alright that's all for now. Until next time, this is GM Franchise signing out. Predictions League update coming soon. Get those picks in and get those lock ins soon so we can get to the playoffs. :D

I'm a perfect example of the image going a long way. Look at how my image has effected me in this game. Image can be a powerful thing both positivitely and negatively.

And Drummond will ragequit if 'he doesn't see improvement'... I still have no rebounding because the player I went for to get rebounding didn't sign with me.

I've gone from needing a centre to needing a centre, shooting guard and non failtastic bench guy, and like, no drafting for it.

I think the easiest issue is that BD get's Kentucky's 2nd round in this years draft

Kentucky still gets Jose Caballero but trades its season 13 2nd round pick ... simple and everyone gets what they expected for next season.

As an impartial observer, I think this is the best option.  I also feel that Hondo should have to pay a small fine (500k - 1M pr or something) for trading something that he does not have.

Boston pretty much gets nothing in that deal.

It's simple. The deal is null, Kentucky couldn't make the trade legally, and if people still want to move players around maybe they can work a new deal. Maybe even let Stoner change his protections if he really wants to get rid of Calballero.

They can have my own 2nd round pick from this year that mysteriously went to Honolulu in addition to the one that Hondo would send them in Season 13.  Anything to make this as copacetic as possible.

Random thoughts...
Let's look over my predictions from the start of the season.
Season Finish Predictions:
West –
1.   Las Vegas Aces (actual: 1st)
2.   Montana Bears (actual: 4th)
3.   Roswell Aliens (actual: 5th)
4.   Boise Spuds (actual: 8th)
5.   Seattle Toppers (actual: 2nd)
6.   Anchorage Glaciers (actual: 3rd)
7.   Hollywood Stars (actual: 6th)
8.   Honolulu Volcanoes (actual: 9th)
9.   Wyoming Wolves (actual: 7th)

East –

1.   Boston Bells (actual: 9th)
2.   Texas Stallions (actual: 2nd)
3.   Providence Diamonds (actual: 4th)
4.   Kentucky Hayseeds (actual: 1st)
5.   Virginia Colonials (actual: 6th)
6.   Puerto Rico Waves (actual: 3rd)
7.   Tampa Bay Dragons (actual: 5th)
8.   Pittsburgh Blades (actual: 7th)
9.   Mississippi Steamers (actual: 8th)

Well my picks were a little off for the playoffs. I did pick 5 out of the 8 playoff teams which was pretty good considering how much heat I got for some of these picks. Boise missed out because the general manager movement, Boston shocked me with how bad they did this season, and Roswell underperformed. Overall I didn't do too bad as far as rankings go. Here were my playoff predictions from before week 1 so here's what I posted before the season started.

Playoff Predictions:
East –
Round 1:
Bells over Hayseeds
Diamonds over Stallions
East Finals:
Bells over Diamonds in 3 games

West –
Round 1:
Aces over Spuds
Bears over Aliens

West Finals:
Aces over Bears

FBL Finals: Aces over Bells in 3 games

Yeah, I was way off. For the first round I'm going with Texas, Seattle, Montana, and Kentucky.

Now here's the list of guys that I recommended before the season started to draft: Swoop McCarthy, Ronnie Stanza, Ben Williams, Bryan Holmes, Chris Poole, Chris Perkins, Andreas Kurtz, and Carlos Moreno.

Well Swoop, Stanza, Williams, and Kurtz all ended up being pretty solid. The others....well, yeah. :P

And here's the list of free agents I recommend for the people I advised to pick up from free agency taken from the exact lists that I sent out in separate messages:
Greg Walton, Sunshine Stream, Remo, Jose Caballero, Simon Frame, Suziki Hondo, Bonba Elbomu, Bael Giankopolis, Grizla Verenka, Sabba, Zizak Rekov, Ramick Lazco, Jamie Dawson, Cazluc Vraba, Flan Bulous, Jimmy Street, Felix Johnson, Bamba Smalls, Aaron Paige, Eko Kholov, Ching Bu, and Craig Gary.

Bit of a mixed bag there. Stream is up AGAIN for Sixth Man of the Year. I remember someone told me that they weren't getting him because I recommended him. Shame on you. Don't say I didn't tell you to get him, lol. And yes that was during the expansion draft. Also want to point out that I was the ONLY person promoting Suziki Hondo for being a free agent pick up. He was totally off the radar and now is the starting PG on the playoff bound defending FBL Champions the Puerto Rico Wave.

Speaking of that...
Quote from: GM Franchise on January 24, 2013, 05:22:08 PM
For the newbies with expansion teams, the guys Franchise recommends are Apollo, Kradle, Foster, Stream, Vraba, Walls, Chachenko, Paul, Walton, Weasel, Cross, Giankonopolis, Free, Johnson, Peters, Smalls, Scott, Huffers, and Frame in that order.

Yeah, that list isn't too bad other than Walls, Foster, and Frame. Yeah, look at the season stats from this season. All of those guys that were in the FBL put up solid stats all around and yet I specifically remember being ripped on for those picks and that order. I guess I'm the El Dandy of this place. Who are you to doubt GM Franchise? lol :P Just wanted to point that list out too since it wasn't as bad as originally thought. Here's a trip down memory lane for ya'll...

http://www.efedknights.com/boards/index.php?topic=14845.7665 (http://www.efedknights.com/boards/index.php?topic=14845.7665)

That's all for now. Until next time this is GM Franchise heading off to the draft war room to do some analysis and planning for the Volcanoes Season 12 campaign. Later all. I'll be back with a post playoffs, post drafts edition of FBL Franchised.

How important/effective is preseason training? For example, I plan on sending Dennis Reigns for scoring training, as he wants to build that part of his game. If I were to also send him for defensive training, where he is already a great defensive player, would it make a difference?

It'd still go towards increasing his rating...so he'd probably become an even better shutdown defensemen in this case - a few more blocks, less points against any opposition he faces a.k.a. a nightmare for anyone in the East playing the SF position. <_<

This. Go for either ratings increases or decreases in problem areas such as ball control for example.

FBL-A-Palooza X8: Now With Just As Many Sequels As Megaman X
Yes, we are eighteen of them. Where are the first sixteen, you ask? Hell if I know...
By "That Strike Guy" on March 20, 2013


Needless to say, time has flown and the most exciting time of every season is upon us...that's right, people, it's the FBL Playoffs! Where epic speeches are made, crazy good basketball gets played by very good teams; yes, we separate the wheat from the chaff in all of those games and in this mailbag, it shall be no different. Let's not hog this further with introductions and get to it. As always, these are actual e-mails from completely fictional (and delusional) readers.

Q: Will the ghost of Chucky Dorrance haunt GM Jen for seasons to come?
- Dave, Pasadena, CA

TSG: Well, we might as well knock the heavy stuff out of the way. As we all know, Chucky Dorrance wasn't exactly known for his basketball prowess but the circumstances that involved his death are completely unfortunate and very shocking. No human being deserves to have his or her life cut short that early, let alone somebody that was living their dream like Dorrance did. At the same time, let's get into the facts (and I know I'm going to catch crap for this)...the idea that Hollywood fans are calling for his jersey to be raised and be right next to Scott Fletcher's is downright stupid. It's about as asinine as the squad that GM Death built around Captain Scottie in Season 6. I know GM Jen gets a lot of crap for being "cold hearted" and all these other things. Holding her ground may not be the popular move, but at the very least, it's not an extra addition to the Hollywood Stars' Hall of Shame, which seems to have grown larger and larger since Season 6.

Q: What players and coaches do you think will bolt for Europe?
- Matthew, Parkersburg, WV

TSG: Ooooo, we're getting to this one earlier than what I'd usually would, kids. We've been hearing the rumors about this "Super League" that Europe is bringing together for a few weeks now and a lot of big moves are being made in question. While we haven't heard much from the Madrid camp due to Moe Christopher's imposed exile/suing of the FBL, Milan's made their move to grab the Sui System and have it implemented within the newly found Milan Sharks, all of England is rallying to get their greatest basketball player in Chris Penny take the reins of the London Mavericks (even though he wants nothing to do with it...much like Samy Blackhouse refusing to go to rehab and writing a song about it before she passed) and Burt Hawk's sights are set on grabbing a franchise player from the FBL and bringing him to Barcelona.

Sui is a given and considering their friendship, I wouldn't be surprised if Marcelo follows suit to be his assistant in Milan. As for London, I could see them reaching out to Conrad Class after his contract with Honolulu is up and as for star players...I'm willing to bet the house that Mason Griffin goes to Barcelona. Hawk knows him and what he can do from their days in Wyoming and given the multiple issues within that franchise, Mason might just try to find a way out of his contract and to go for a bigger bank in Spain.

Time will tell...but this offseason is going to be a crazy one if Europe decides to bring it, kids. Count on it.
Oh, given that we touched upon Griffin a few moments ago...

Q: Will GM Death have any players by the end of the season?
- Jason, Casper, WY

Q: If Swoop, Mason, or Andreas want to leave...wouldn't the easier option be to just get rid of Black Death?
- "Common Sense," Cheyenne, WY

TSG: (Thinking) You both might be onto something here. However, while he may be a fool, GM Black Death has always been considered a (somewhat) loveable fool. But, at the same time, costing a Ferndale triplet the rest of his playing season (where he wasn't doing too terribly) did seem to set quite a few guys off. I haven't seen Ching Bu wanting to murder somebody this badly since his Tampa Bay Dragons days when he was elbowing the crap out of Stallions players during the GM Rebel hard-nosed defense days. So yeah, he mightaaaaa just pushed his luck a little too much this time. Another wait and see situation.

Q: Why aren't more people talking about Reggie Jones?
- Francisco, Jacksonville, FL

TSG: Valid question. Given his consistent of level of play, he has considerably gone under the radar – especially if you consider some of the numbers that he's been posting ever since Maurice Mays took over as the Head Coach of the Dragons midseason. Averaging 18.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 steals through the entire season is no joke, but when you then throw the new coach (who just so happens to be a multi-time All FBL player, 3 time FBL champion, multi-time MVP and the greatest point guard to ever play the game of basketball) getting hired right as they went into week 6, not only do Dragons go 5-2 on that spree, but check these numbers out in for Jones (rounded to nearest decimal and all):

22.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1 steal per game

There's no doubt that having a guy like Leighton Lee passing the ball to him is a big help, but I'm confident enough to say that had it been Mays behind that bench from the beginning of the season until the end of it, the Dragons would probably be looking at a playoff berth over Providence and Reggie Jones might have, just perhaps, ousted Scott Cunningham out of the Season 11 Rookie of the Year award. He'll likely be second place in the voting...but Cunningham's had the better overall rookie year from start to finish.

Q: I get why Leighton Lee would be pissed that fans are asking him to lose games but shouldn't he be able to see where they are coming from? Where do you come down on this? Frankly I think they should win as many games as they can at home and lose as often as they can on the road.
- "Most of Tampa Bay's Fanbase," Tampa, FL

A: ...they went 5-2 over the last seven games to end with a respectable 7-9 record – it is the Eastern Conference, after all. I think they'll be okay. Besides, do you really think that Maurice Mays knows what the word "tank" mean, let alone how to do it? Guy's been used to being a winner since he was destroying guys on the court that were two to three years older than him in his freshman year at UNLV!

Q: Who is the most hated GM in the FBL?
- Chris, Denver, CO

TSG: Without a doubt in my mind, it has got to be GM Dorling. The loud mouth, the mannerisms during press conferences (including him walking out of his own conference on Week 8 after a less than stellar night for his Aces), the fact that he has done nothing but build winning franchises since arriving in the league alongside the Virginia Colonials (not to mention, being the first and so far only GM to commander an expansion team to a FBL ring) and that he will tell you all about it if you ask him. Dorling is the guy we love to hate, he's the 'villain' that the league needs and let's face it...the fact that rumors got around that he actually told Commissioner Trumps to go chase himself over the phone during the Kentucky/Virginia debacle that led us to Civil War II – aka epic playoff basketball – would make this man an absolute legend on the same level of Billy Mavis, Mike Flips (when he played basketball) and Ted Mackay if there's any reality to them. So yes, Dorling may be the most hated, but I'm sure he revels in it like this guy:

tony montana scarface badguy speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNiiHVYnQ6A#)

Q: Will we see the return of Biology to the FBL next season?
-  Jordan, Newark, DE

TSG: Primo Pancho and I were actually legitimately discussing this the other night in between episodes of our Match of Monarchs marathon on OBH. They have been very, VERY quiet since Kadeon Apollo was excommunicated, given the fact he was just using them to show many women where the REAL Block Party was at – which they should have seen coming...I mean, has everybody forgotten his rookie year in Season 6 and the madness of those parties out in Boston?!

Anyways, back on point, considering that Jordan Brandon seems to still be hanging around with the group in Hollywood, I have no doubt in my mind that we haven't seen the last of them just yet. The great Lebron Cupboard is one full of surprises, apparently. While Pancho and I are still trying to make heads and tails on what jackass came up with the name "Lebron" for their supreme being (because we all know anybody with that name just won't succeed at anything...it's science), we do realize that they will attempt to find homes within the FBL. It could be one of the newer franchises in San Diego or Birmingham. It could be in a bigger city like Boston. Hell, it could be Boise.

Oh crap, Primo, IT COULD BE BOISE! TYTY IS INSANE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN!!!!

Q: Will the Volcanoes erupt under GM Franchise or become dormant for a season as he turns them into a car wreck?
- Aimee V., San Diego, CA

Q: What happens first, Alex K loses his V Card, or James wins a game in Honolulu?
- Lance A. Boyle, Hell, Michigan

TSG: Relatable questions get grouped together on this one. I covered a bit of this on the last mailbag, but to be frank, it's all going to depend on how Franchise handles the offseason after being a season away from the FBL. If he does everything that he did during his many seasons...you can say they're going to be very, very dormant. But if he plays his cards right and builds a team within the next one to two seasons, that eruption...could very well happen. It may not be immediate, but it may happen.

Second of all...let us remember the fact that Alex K once won a porn draft. A PORN DRAFT! By a landslide, I might add!!!! I'm willing to bet he loses his card two weeks prior to Franchise winning a game in Honolulu. Which means (and I emphasize this once again) that if we see "Bad Boy Era/Alienopoly/Your Season 10 Boise Spuds" Franchise, it gives Alex K the wiggle room of an entire season. GET TO THE BABY MAKING ACT, ALEX!

Q: We've been warned since the 80's...first it was the USSR...then it was China...now Europe is trying to take over the USA...RISE UP WOLVERINES!! Red Dawn remake a third time.
- All of Hollywood's producers, Hollywood, CA

TSG: ...speaking of crazy e-mails...

Q: It goes without question that GM Franchise is the worst GM in the history of the FBL. Who do you feel is the second worst? GM Black Death has the most losses in the history of the FBL while GM TyTy is surrounded by drama with every team he goes yet GM BD seems well loved and GM TyTy's team have a decent winning record. Do you feel that the second worst GM of all time was GM Fisk aka the GM who tried to have sexual relations with her team? Whatever happened to her?
- Heart-broken that Dakool Fox dumped me for asking too many questions, somewhere in the U.S.A.

TSG: Not 100% sure on GM Fisk's 10-4 at this time – remember hearing it was family issues (and on that note, hope all is well with her). However, before we go any further, there is one very key thing that trumps that argument entirely...Fisk has been to a Western Conference finals with the Spuds.

Something that TyTy and Black Death haven't been able to do as GM's.

At all.

And to his credit, Black Death also did make a playoff appearance with the Steamers two seasons ago.

Thus, by order of elimination, that would make GM TyTy the second worst GM in all of the FBL...

Jonas Brothers - Oh How The Tables Have Turned (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gne8o_hfPuQ#)

Q: Will any other players join Nik Bliss and become doomsday preppers?
- Michael, Boise, ID

TSG: Give him a bunch of trashy girls and cameras and I'm pretty Jimmy Street would be game (hell, he could probably convince DaKool Fox to join the festivities if the right amount of girls and the guarantee that Moses Franks' sister would be there to witness it all). Hell, I honestly would love to see Nik Bliss taking a few survival courses with my good friend and excellent marksman in Mr. Talon Wilkinson (yes, ladies, THAT Talon Wilkinson of CRW ownership fame) – it could make for a fantastic mini TV series if GM Rob is willing to throw a bit of PR towards it. Might do Nik some good to quell some of those paranoid fears he's been showing as of late.

Q: For a guy named Bliss he sure lost his cool pretty quickly...
- Aaron Tree, Anchorage, AK

TSG: (Shaking his head in disapproval)

Q: Nothing like a vote of confidence from an owner about a GM that didn't need it.  This has set up written all over it as Bob is pissed that Strike sent away his daughters one true victim...I mean love. No...I meant victim. 
- Not Xavi Madrid, Barcelona, Spain

TSG: (Too afraid to say anything)

Q: Who do you think will co-star with Fan Mu in the next Tree Man movie?
- James V., San Diego, CA

TSG: Tony Massimo. Massimonium needs to be brought to Hollywood. Just make sure he doesn't go anywhere near GM Jen – she takes good notes and I'm pretty sure Tony would never pass an audition in which she sits in.

Q: So, why haven't you tweeted a live feed of Bogolov's playoff speech from the @EMBRACEBOGOLOV account?! Hell, if you need any ideas, I'm pretty sure all you have to do is find your way to Providence, sneak into Bogolov's house, somehow plant all sorts of cameras and wires and I'm pretty sure you'd get something related to basketball in between all the hookers he takes to his home and makes squeal like Billy Joel Winchester's old, dead pig Murtel.
- James, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

TSG: Yup, these are my readers!

Back in olden times I once walk in my mother having sex with a goat. A big goat who drank vodka and thought he was mayor of town. I walk away, I say nothing to cocky goat till one day when in the barn...I rape his goat ass with my broom handle. In front of cow, in front of horse, in front of cheeky rooster. Now the goat know he not mayor of town, that Vlad mayor of barn. Barn respect Vlad. We go to Barn this week, we see our Mother Buck Fender bent over performing oral sex on GM Hondo the Goat. He stand there with happy look on face...his horse Frazier, his cow Bishop and his cheeky rooster Bennett all like what they say...Diamonds will be Vlad's broom handle...prepare to be entered Hondo...prepare to be raped...and after we drink vodka over your body of filth...

Epic.

Interesting to compare the degree of speeches from coach to coach, isn't it?

Farooq is obviously the one that stands out as particularly not-so-great... but I'd pick out Bunt as well, seenas he's always been a bit suspect. Could be the coaches having an effect on fortunes, in places.

I am out of hospital! Have hobbled over to the PC and simmed the Western game. Sorry I havent had much more General News I am in a bit of aches and pains at the moment, but should be enough for you guys to work off of. Also teams out of the playoffs, locking in will lock you out the rest of the season ready for the offseason. Advantage being no human players can nick your coaches!!!

We still got the playoffs going on, as soon as they are done the coaches will all be going on vacation where your scouting and protections should be locked in by then (future deal thread). Assistant Coach if you ask one will provide information. Then we will do the expansion draft, college draft, sort out stuff for Season 12 before locking in.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on March 23, 2013, 06:22:13 AM
Well that season ended in disappointment. Not really sure what else I could have done. I had a couple of problems and the feedback from the players involved suggested it was sorted, but they still underperformed.

Mind you, this is why I enjoy the game. Well played Jag, make sure Hondo doesn't win anything.

AVAILBLE PR FOR SCOUTING: 

STONER - 500K so could only really scout an exsisting player
SHIELDS - 4.35m so realistically 4 draft picks
TYTY - 1.5 million
POWERS - 3.85 million
FRANCHISE - 0 million

BONE AND JON you have your 6 free scouts as expansion teams.

I think it's probably a good idea to see why he's calling first.  You immediately jumped in to "I didn't do it!" mode... I know it's likely that it's something cap related, but can't be too cautious when dealing with the commish!  He'll throw down a fine before you know what happened.

I received a PM with my scouting reports saying the commish had already fined me. Went to my thread and assumed it had already been announced. My bad. I thought with contracts unless like stated by BD in his situation to start immediately was assumed to begin next year. My mistake for assuming in the FBL.

What my ramblings mean is that if a player didnt play for a team last year he hasnt earned a year in the league so to speak so there is also three rookies who were rookies last season who have a '?' as their years in the league because they didn't play at all last season: Cheese King, Sammy Bach and Dean Daniels. However, they have gone up in age.

Just as a teaser there are 9 new coaches this season including one former player.

Is it 500k or 250k to scout a free agent?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on March 24, 2013, 02:16:28 AM
I got it wrong, actually.

500k for existing players

250k for overseas players your coaching staff has ties to.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

So I can't scout an overseas player with no ties for 500k?

Err, why does my owner think I extended Shack's contract by SIX years? I agreed to the terms his agent set me, which was to add one more year on, meaning he has 3 years left.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on March 26, 2013, 06:04:24 AM
But he explicitly said 'We will make it 3 years to run on the deal provided the salary becomes 19 million.' He went to great lengths to explain that.

Unfortunately I now can't check the future deal thread to see what I put because it's been cleared, but there's no way I would have agreed to a 6 year deal on purpose. Nevermind.

Out of interest Ian, is it because I wrote in wrong in the future deal thread? I'm just not sure how this happened, since Shack only had 2 years left, so if I had written 'extend by 3' by mistake he'd only have 5 years...not 6.

F that noise, he hates me! I'll just talk to his agent instead. If Shack is happy for 6 then fine, I just don't want Shack and his agent thinking I've committed them to a longer term deal than they wanted. If they just want three they can sign a new deal.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on March 26, 2013, 07:53:50 AM
Its quite interesting reading actually because there are teams who have one star player who arent fussed about throwing money at said star where as there are proper franchises who have a star and then other Pippenesque supporting star players.

So yeah BD paying 17 million for Mason Griffin a poor man's Troy Marshall says a lot.

The secret is in the bargain players. The Elbomus, the Malukas, the Odemwuyios, the Remos, the Ronkos. If you have a couple of those, you can have more than one star player on the squad, earning relatively big money.

OFF-SEASON TRAINING

3 players, one training category apiece.  Or you can double up on one player meaning you can only choose two players.

Training Categories:

scoring, defense, passing, rebounding, and fitness.

To be fair I was prepared to offer Scott more than what I was asked for so I'm not too worried about that. In my opinion 13.5m for a ROTY is a great deal. Also, with Kradle gone I'm spending the same amount on PR with an extra .5 for Scott.

Either way, I'm prepared for next season.... I think.

I just hope Dusty and Bliss aren't complete busts.

Its quite interesting reading actually because there are teams who have one star player who arent fussed about throwing money at said star where as there are proper franchises who have a star and then other Pippenesque supporting star players.

So yeah BD paying 17 million for Mason Griffin a poor man's Troy Marshall says a lot.

To be fair, in BD's case, he really had no other option.  If he lost Mason, he'd be up a creek.  He's Wyoming's best player...and with the way FA's gone over the past few seasons, he would have had very little chance at replacing him.

I guess he could have let him walk or tried to orchestrate a trade to one of the Super League teams, but he would've been lucky to win a couple games without Mason next season.

He left himself with no other option because of his skills as a GM, which makes our point even stronger.

And its James, what success?

With James, he was looking at starting to season with 5 rookies. Not to mention, he drafted 6. He needed to fill some voids.

Stoner drafted Washington, which put a wrinkle in James' plans on drafting both him and Holly.

After he made the move to send both his PGs that he drafted late for Chu Mai, I told him he should trade Holly and a 1st Rounder for Kolo Rolo. It gives him one of the premier defensive players in the league and it untied Holly with Washington in Boston. And he loses the 1st Rounder I gave him when I acquired Elbomu. So he'll still have his 1st rounder next season.

With Bone... I told him about a thousand times last night to go for Farooq. He ignored me... quit... came back... failed a few more times... then gave in. Although, it was one of the most entertaining nights I've had here at EFK, thanks to Cheese King.

But really... I wouldn't really take credit for anyone's success in the game...
















































Except for James. :P

McDoe doesn't.  When you agreed to a deal with Holly in the draft, did the agent ask for PR money?

Random question/idea.

I know that the salary cap is a firm number for each team (hence "cap").  But the PR money is called 'budget', and that has me thinking.....

Can we utilize the PR money for trades and such?  For example, I'd trade Player XXX to Team AAA for $3 million of their PR budget (provided they have it of course).  That would make their PR budget drop down to $12 million for the next season, but bump mine up to $18 million.

Good idea?  Bad idea?

Q'S CORNER: SEASON 12 PRE-SEASON ADDITION

A lot of moving, signing, and trading took place over the offseason heading into a very exciting Season 12. The addition of new expansion teams, San Diego and Birmingham, made teams scramble to find the missing pieces to a FBL Championship run.

1. Hollywood - Echo Walls
2. Providence - Nick Bliss
3. Wyoming - Brock Landers, Melvin Smarts
4. Boise - Tony Luco

----------

TOP 5 BONEHEADED MOVES OF THE OFFSEASON

2. GM Franchise signing first year and unproven HC Oswald Touche to $7.00mil contract.
3. GM Black Death signing Moses Franks.
4. GM Jon making up some random college coaches name and scaring off potential AHC, Ben Legacy.
3. GM Franchise trading for Chi Chi Gonzalez and then not being able to sign him.

Wouldn't it technically be Charlie Murphy?

I mean, he did replace Wesley Snipes as one of the darkest dudes on the planet, if the Chappelle Show is something to go by.

Q'S CORNER: SEASON 12 PRE-SEASON ADDITION

And that'll do it for this addition of Q's Corner. Hope you enjoyed. Until the next time...

Q OUT!

I don't think you can judge who's a good and bad trade until these players have played some games. You call Davis Newton a bad free agent signing but I wanted a cheap bench player that could play both PF and SF and that's what I got. I don't see what's so bad about that. Everyone's so quick to pass judgment on the Nik Bliss trade but you've not seen him play a single game for me yet. And finally, I don't see how I am 8th in the East now? I have a player that actually plays in the PF position, Cunningham and Apollo have both improved, I have a dedicated, focused captain, I have potentially the best coaching set up in the entire FBL. Both worked wonders to get Foster, playing in the wrong position and Kradle, a bad choice all round, to go on an 8 game winning streak which included beating the FBL Champions.

No worries Rob, he also noted that my trade to obtain my backup combo guard (who last year called Boise the perfect place for him to be) and my assistant coach (when on a tight budget) a bad trade. Ill show him yet

I see both 8th place picks from his predictions making the payoffs.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: J-Reb on March 28, 2013, 12:37:45 PM
It's a slow day in the office and I've got literally nothing to work on - so, I decided that I'd put mess around with some FBL stats.  I'll do one of these for every position in the FBL but started with point guards - one of the most competitive positions in the league.

I came up with a formula to try and decide definitively who was the best PG in the FBL.  Basically, I took in to account three major statistical categories - points scored, assists and steals per game.  I gave bonuses for players who performed above league average and took away points for turnovers per game.  Players who served as captain of their team also received an additional bonus.  The final metric was contract value - did the statistical value of the player equal their contract?  If so, they received a bonus.

I realize there is more than statistics to a player but the top-10 came out much as I would have anticipated.

Anywhere, here goes nothing:

Best of FBL: Point Guards
Season 12

1. J.J. Rogers (Texas Stallions) - Composite Score: 18.9
2. Ricky Hallmark (Virginia Colonials) - Composite Score: 17.8
3. Leighton Lee (Tampa Bay Dragons) - Composite Score: 15.8
4. Champ Martin (Roswell Aliens) - Composite Score: 14.4
5. Nick Gravin (Montana Bears) - Composite Score: 14.2
6. Jay Chill (Kentucky Hayseeds) - Composite Score: 12.4
7. Ernie Bell (Mississippi Steamers) - Composite Score: 11.6
8. Ben Williams (Anchorage Glaciers) - Composite Score: 10.8
9. Bobby Chang (Providence Diamonds) - Composite Score: 10.6
10. Chico Valez (Seattle Toppers) - Composite Score: 10.3

No surprises really in the top-10.  J.J. Rogers has claim to being one of the top players in all of the FBL, if not *the* best, so it isn't any surprise that he's number one by a wide margin.  Ricky Hallmark and Leighton Lee have been at the top of the position for a few seasons now and Lee continues to rise.  Probably the biggest snub in our list is Dre Majors, Puerto Rico's new starting PG, who didn't even register in our top 15, falling behind backups James Cross and Jamal Tees.

The next five went like this - J.R. Valentine (Hollywood; 10.2), Flan Bulous (Las Vegas; 10), Jimmy Street (Boise; 9.4), James Cross (Virginia; 9.4), and Jamal Tees (Roswell; 8.4).

My list didn't include rookies because we aren't quite sure what we're getting with them quite yet.  It isn't a stretch to say Cam Drake (San Diego) and Tim McDonald (Pittsburgh) will challenge for a spot among the leagues best next season - both seem to have clear paths to putting up big numbers, especially McDonald with Robbie Wright in Pittsburgh free-falling.  Ben Daniels is blocked in Kentucky behind Chill and Thomas Morgan, but could challenge Morgan for a starting SG slot next season.

Among back-up PG's, San Diego's James Storm (4.2) and Birmingham's Tiny Scott (5.36) finished last in our statistical analysis.

Finally, here's how we'd rank the PG's of the FBL in tiers:

Tier 1
J.J. Rogers - Texas
Ricky Hallmark - Virginia
Leighton Lee - Tampa Bay

Tier 2
Champ Martin - Roswell
Nick Gravin - Montana
Jay Chill - Kentucky

Tier 3
Ernie Bell - Mississippi
Ben Williams - Anchorage
Bobby Chang - Providence
Cam Drake - San Diego
Chico Valez - Seattle
J.R. Valentine - Hollywood
Flan Bulous - Las Vegas

Tier 4
Jimmy Street - Boise
James Cross - Virginia
Jamal Tees - Roswell
Dre Majors - Pittsburgh
Tim McDonald - Pittsburgh
Chui Mai - Honolulu
Mossimo Torre - Texas
Rey Rodrigo - Anchorage

Tier 5
Reggie Ferndale - Birmingham
Flash Davis - Boise
Suziki Hondo - Puerto Rico
Washington Owens - Boston
Spearky Weasel - Honolulu
T.J. Bailey - Birmingham
Bobby Band - Tampa Bay
Ben Daniels - Kentucky
Robbie Wright - Pittsburgh

Tier 6
Butch Paul - Providence
Tiny Scott - Birmingham
James Storm - San Diego

Thanks for reading!

Virginia is playing him at the SG position this season, so, he didn't qualify for the PG spot this season.

FBL Franchised, Vol. 13 –
Playoffs and Preseason Edition:
FBL Franchised is back and here's the story of the post season. The Kentucky Hayseeds won the FBL Championship again beating the Seattle Toppers. After that was the draft and all offseason moves. This is my analysis of the teams.

Boise Spuds-
This team had higher ratings than I expected. The trio of Walton, Rogers, and Street will net them some points. However I am worried about Street and Davis becoming the new Foxy Street considering both have had off court issues with partying in the past. I like the pick up of Class as a coach but Tony Luco as a player coach I have reservations about. Strip club pole destruction incident anyone. I also like the drafting of Baldo and Treble.

Montana Bears –
Gravin, Frazier, and Dallas are the clear leaders on this team and will make this team a force to be reckoned with in the West. However the supporting class isn't as good as last season with the loss of Harry Allan. Bryan Carty was a good draft pick but with Roy Ferndale, Scottie Tanner, and Craig Gary this team will struggle to reach the level of success they have had the last two seasons.

Kentucky Hayseeds –
Best overall team in the league. WOW. You know the team is good when your lowest rated player is Jose Cabellero. Solid team all around. However what worries me is Freddie Bishop's expiring contract this offseason as well as the expiring contract of Jose Caballero. Other than that expecting a repeat of last season.

Providence Diamonds –
Diamonds will take a step back this season in my opinion after their magical playoff run last year. Nick Bliss is a disaster waiting to happen. The moment he became a prepper all hope was lost. Kadeon Apollo FINALLY is playing to his ability level and Cunningham and Chang make up a killer young combo but the supporting cast is going to be a problem. Dusty Britches was a good draft choice and Butch Paul should take over the starting SG spot from Bliss but Newton and Bliss will lower this team with the trade of Kradle.

Tampa Bay Dragons –
The big three of Leighton Lee, Reggie Jones, and Blue Reed has now become a big five with the additions of Bernie Class and Malcolm Hayes who was the steal of the draft. I like the combining of Bobby Band and Tony Braize. Jack O'Neal being on a four year contract...yeah, don't like that. And for 3 million? Pfft. That guy sucks. Other than that I see playoff contender in this team.

Honolulu Volcanoes –
My team should be interesting to watch. Kolo Rolo was a solid edition as was Chui Mai. Jason Howard and Jarrett McLoo were decent draft picks that can learn from big man Country Sampson. Fred Flanders is going to be a project that I hope works out. Some of the contracts are high but likely Franchise didn't want to rock the boat too much given his horrible reputation...I mean, he needed to get them lower. *ahem* Ok, I do like Jarrett McLoo. Another possible steal considering he was the last guy on the draft list him being a D+ is a pleasant surprise although I do think his rating is high possibly because of someone taking a chance on him and *crosses fingers* hopefully he rewards me for my gamble. Only Weasel remains from last season's horrid Volcanoes team and that's a good thing. Best Franchise team since season six. Wont contend for the playoffs but will win games here and there.

Anchorage Glaciers –
All FBL Defensive Team all on one team. Much like Kentucky there is no weak point on this team. Also interesting to note that there's four international players on this team as well. However there is one glaring problem for this team long term. I like what I see on paper and think they are a candidate to win the Western Conference Championship this season but they have three contracts expiring after this season which will be a problem for GM Rebel considering he only has 5 mil in cap space and likely will only be able to resign one out of Ben Williams, Rey Rodrigo, and Gary Boldeer.

Las Vegas Aces –
Another solid overall team in Vegas put together by GM Dorling. Bringing in Bamba Smalls was HUGE. However Eddie Lights and Redford Shack are going to start showing their age this season in my opinion. Getting rid of Chi Chi, who is a punk, will do wonders for this team morale wise. I gotta side with Shack in the Chi Chi/Shack feud after how that little punk treated me this offseason...*ahem* I mean Shack is a good judge of character. Flan Bulous, Smalls, Lights, and Shack all on one team is scary. Odemwuyio, Remo, Mission, and Yallop are all solid as well. Solid team all around.

Wyoming Wolves –
Looking over this team I think it'll be a long season in Wyoming. Griffin, Kurtz, and Swoop are the clear big three. However the rest of this team is atrocious and I mean that in the nicest way possible. You know it's bad when Melvin Smarts is the fourth best player on the team and likely starting point guard. Brock Landers is a turnover maching waiting to happen, Hans Fuhr and Jamie Dawson are not starting level centers, and Darren McGwire has gotten worse each season. This team is the top candidate to win the draft lottery just going by how they look on paper and not even factoring in Moses Franks being the assistant coach. That might be a good thing so they can draft a scoring big man next season.

Texas Stallions –
Stallions are going to be a major contender for the FBL Championship again with this line up. JJ Rogers, Miles Peters, Caleb Toom, Mack Ryan, Gun Lugasoon, and Massimo Torre make up a solid six man rotation. Add in the majorly improved Nick Standers and rookie Ernest Trash you have one of the best eight man rotations in the league. Top level team in Texas.

Hollywood Stars –
Hollywood has a great six man rotation with JR Valentine, Harry Allan, Brian Beast, Deshawn Drummond, Reg Blackstock, and Sunshine Stream. Getting Allan may be the catalyst that puts this team over the top. However Sammy Bach and Echo Walls are two guys I don't see much potential in. Good thing Bach is only on a one year deal. However the other six guys are great and this team will be a scoring machine out West.

Birmingham Green Hornets –
Like the starting five of Ferndale, George, Hurtado, Dreams, and Umjumbo. TJ Bailey is a strong sixth man. Tiny Scott and Chuckles are the weak points but with Chuckles having a ring now he will likely play better. Those two are also on one year contracts so they can upgrade next season. Solid team but will likely challenge for the playoffs next season.

Boston Bells –
Bells overall have one of the most solid teams in the league. However there is one thing that worries me about this team and it's the fact they're playing SIX rookies. SIX! Sure they have good ratings but the leadership will be lacking. Washington Owens and Rex Holly being brought together is a plus. Hank Gray is a bit up there in age which might be a problem considering they have ONLY two guys who can play Center and PF. REALLY bad decision there not to get another big man. Cheese King redeems GM Stoner but the lack of a big man will hurt them as this season progresses.

Virginia Colonials –
This team has a solid eight man rotation. Hallmart, Danberry, Cross, Chi Chi, Chin Chik, Zack Fields, and Chris Perkins are a solid seven man rotation. Duke Brisco is going to be a project from the looks of it. GM Shields might want to think about starting Perkins at SF. This team should be a playoff contender again this season. East is deep but they should challenge for a playoff spot with this line up. Cross and Chik are in contract years which should be a priority as well.

Puerto Rico Waves –
This team is going to be a contender again. WOW. Damore Richards and Troy Marshall might be one of the best combinations in the league. Add in Dre Majors, who is an upgrade over Robbie Wright, and Larry Stevens you get a monster team. Not to mention Djem Maluka and Suziki Hondo you have a solid seven man rotation. Marcus Wear...yeah, this guy sucks. And a two year contract?! That's a "Franchise Signing" if I ever saw one.

San Diego Seagulls –
Cam Drake is the star of the future. Smart move getting him. Drake, Michael Free, Matt Foster, Bonba Elbomu, and Findi Muwama make up a solid starting five. The bench of James Storm, Paul Wheeter, and Mark Peck is a major weakness. I like this team on paper but if any of the starters gets injured or has foul trouble then GM Jon should worry. A work in progress and will be a playoff contender next season if they make the right personnel moves.

Mississippi Steamers –
Getting Ernie Bell, Dennise Reigns, Ronnie Standers, and Ramick Lazco around Krease McCool has created a dangerous team. I also think that Kev Standers was a good draft pick. One of the best picks in the draft. Ching Bu will be a project as will Chuck Ginge. This team overall is solid but there's better teams out east. Also Stanza's contract is expiring so that's something that will be a priority for GM Powers in my opinion.

Pittsburgh Blades –
In my opinion this team is Mutu Mukwaza, Creed Jackson, Tim McDonald, and the Little Rascals. This team is probably the worst in the East going by what I'm seeing. Robbie Wright is a bust. Blades fans are lucky that GM Pancho drafted McDonald and only have Wright on a one year contract. Vlakov, Fernando, and Marks all were bad free agent pick ups. Micah Grey I'm so-so on. I like his ability as a player but don't think he's the answer at SG. Going to be a long season in Pittsburgh.

Roswell Aliens –
Champ Martin, Sean Rivers, and Jamal Tees got some back up this season in the form of Scott Fletcher, Cal Roberts, and Chris Flynn. Marty Brown and Randy Ferndale will be projects. Brown was not a good pick. Luckily the Aliens got Roberts and can switch Roberts to C, Flynn to PF, and can move Brown to the bench to develop him. Overall I like this team and with the addition of Roberts and Fletcher that's going to make this team a playoff contender and a Western Conference Championship contender. Also Flynn, Roberts, and Fletcher  all only have one year contracts so there's that issue as well.

Seattle Toppers –
Joe Harding, Rich Deane, Chico Velez, and Ronko are back and have some back up this season. Vernon Nelson is in Seattle and that's a HUGE pick up for this team. Also CC Ale was a great pick up. Kris Keys and Truck Lynch will be great bench players for this team. This team is better than last season's team and will compete for the Western Conference Championship again with this team. Going to be a good season in Seattle.

MVP: Troy Marshall
DPotY: Kolo Rolo
6th Man: Sunshine Stream
Rookie of the Year: Cam Drake

I would have been interested to see how he stacked up last year though.

Running through the same metrics - he would have had a composite score of: 8.4  His scoring brings him down a little but he'd rank among the league leaders in APG (which is obvious due to the massive numbers he was putting up at the beginning of the season).

First, Butch Paul will not be a free agent. He is a better player than Nik Bliss and will most likely start ahead of him now. Second, I don't see where I've taken a step back? Sure, Kradle was graded at C+ but he wasn't good enough to be a starter or a captain. Foster may have been fitter than Britches, that's yet to be seen, BUT, I have a better choice in captain in Apollo, I have a PF who actually plays in the PF position, that is undeniable. Aside from the Bliss trade I'd like to know where exactly I've fallen back? My bench this season might not be as strong but my starters are definitely a lot stronger.

One thing you have to remember is Ian knows a lot more about what's happening with these teams that even we do. And the Inside the FBL isn't just an entertainment piece, it also offers clues and hints into the game itself. So if the ItF guys are saying someone is about to make a mistake, heed the warning.

Post by: Dorling on March 28, 2013, 04:52:01 PM
I also think you may have misinterpreted James' list Rob, as it's a list of players with just one year left on their contracts, so they will all be free agents if no action is taken.

Butch Paul and/or Nik Bliss would rate among the worst SG duos in the league.  You have Cunningham, Chang and Apollo - outside of that trio, there isn't much there. 
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on March 28, 2013, 05:07:32 PM
What has anyone said about Butch Paul being bad? I'm sorry but this I don't agree with, he was very good off the bench last season, undoubtedly being as cover for Kradle. Way I see it, even with the trio you mentioned plus the hinted rebounds and blocks of Britches and whatever Paul can offer, that's an upgrade.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on March 28, 2013, 05:16:22 PM
Perhaps Rob, but it's not very often that inside FBL is completely wrong. Kradle was a good player misused, Paul is a role player - nobody said he was bad. Bliss isn't an upgrade to anything and Newton is very bad.

I hope you do well and perform above predictions, but I don't think, objectively that your team is better than last season.

You don't want to start Paul.  I did for a season... and it was pretty rough.  Find a way to 'solve' Bliss.

If I had Bliss, I'd ask him what was the root of his paranoia (not in those words, lol).  Try to get to the ultimate cause of why he feels that doomsday is around the corner, then help him overcome that issue.

That's just me though.

Hell yeah. Turn a weakness into a strength. This is how I got people like Joey Street, Ronko and Jordan Brandon playing great basketball. Get Joey to use his loud mouth by giving him a rap record, use Ronko's aggression and limited intelligence to set weekly, rebound based challenges, talk directly to Jordan Brandon's imaginary friend Brian.

Think outside that box.

I think Ian likes to award creative approaches - it's easy to do the same thing over and over again, relying on the team doctor or something like that.

Just remember when you give him a record, make sure he knows he's not allowed to call the first single 'jizz on your mother.' Yeah, I've been there.

I'd like to try and get us locked in by the end of next week and then FBL will be on hiatus. So really a chance to get all your pre season shit out of the way. It does mean I dont have to sim any matches which is the time consuming bit.

We will be back towards the end of May when I am free to make it happen.

Do you prefer that we wait for the person we want to speak with to respond with a "Hello..." or "Yes?"? Or do you prefer that we jump ahead so-to-speak and talk to them before their response?

Or does it not matter?

I will allow some trading as we havent fully locked in for the season yet (to new players no trading during the regular season) be mindful though seeing as the players have been away at camp this will have an impact on team chemistry if you trade and what not so only do it if neccessary. IE if you scrap your entire team you will be pretty much fucked.

I'm sure there are a few teams out there that would like a shut down defender.

Take ALLLLLLLLLL the discarded players.

I mean, if it's gonna make the team better, then why not? It's been proven that being able to establish a connection to one of those European teams (and keeping it) is actually a good thing - the Bob Breaker for Larry Hardaway deal in Kentucky to make room for Bishop's contract is kinda proof of it.

That idea is what led me to add the no trade clause

I noted two flaws in the no spain clause 1) Nobody would go for it, agents would almost certainly say no and 2) There isnt a way to in force it. With the no trade clause, it seems more of a gentlemen's agreement (of course, with severe consequences should I break my end. I think its been discussed before, we should keep it simple and contracts should only be years amount and pr with the possiblility of a tangible benefit (i.e.: starter, captain, wont sign X player etc)

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on April 03, 2013, 12:09:11 PM
All the no trade clause does is is an encourager/morale booster for 1 player. He was a B- ranked player just 2 seasons ago, trading has hurt him, its affected his performance. I believe it to be a player specific clause, not a new idea.

Besides, this is a game of power and theres no way the players would relinquish that much power, binding contracts prob wont be accepted. I find that players who have long-term contracts & stay on one team tend to improve better. I use the rule of thumb that each trade makes the player go down by a third grade (from C+ to C for example). Same with coaches, its not coincidence that the best graded coaches are the ones who are established

I made the mistake of not taking any time off after my wedding, didnt get a honeymoon. Circumstances didn't line up well for me so two days after wedding I moved towns, next day I started new job. My best advice to Ian who no doubt already knows this, screw us and take all the time in world. If you feel any reluctance, it's not the right time to step back into swing of things.

Yeah Strike told me it was all basically bench players. And I did not try to shag the Shack lol.

Yeah it was a bunch of bench guys and it was a total disaster, lol. And to top it off I've gone two seasons without winning a game. The Curse of the Franchise is about on par with the Curse of the Bambino or something like that.

When I googled it, the only thing that popped was the Urban Dictionary that said:

"another name for a queer. also known as someone who is gay"

The vaginal fart is called a queef. Not a quiffy.

BREAKING NEWS...GM JON AND FARDY WIN WRESTLING RUMBLE

Geoff Fardy and former Colonials GM Jon won their epic wrestling match against the Vrabas after GM Jon pinned Mrs. Vraba. Soon after Mrs. Vraba filed a lawsuit for being held down by a man, which was later dismissed. An onlooker said.

"Jon and Geoff were on fire, the turning point came when a distraught Cazluc seemed to do a suicide jump off the 1st steel step. As he laid there in no obvious pain, Mrs. Vraba was easy pickens."

After the match, Geoff Fardy turned on GM Jon and took him out with a finger poke of doom. The Colonials fans cheered their hero and generally spat in the direction of GM Jon who now works for the San Diego Seagulls.

Oh no, this wasn't meant sarcastically. I actually thought it was nifty and have been doing something along those lines too, just about since the time when the FBL got mentioned in a TFWF Monday Night Mayhem show (I think Hondo and BJW were in said segment).

I was more curious as to him comparing his team to a locomotive and needing "steam". You know... the guy that was there before you took his talent to the Mississippi "Steam"ers and their logo has a locomotive on it.

Different word. Bollocks refers to testicles, bullocks refers to an expression of frustration used when something is incorrectly blamed on yourself. At least, thats how it is here. Pretty much what I said was I disagree.

The funny thing, the whole Flash conversation, I followed exactly what my management text book told me to do. Confronted the situation before it began (expectations), gathered opinion from the person in question (asked Flash what he wanted), didnt make any accusation or point fingers, and everything it else it said (i dont have my textbook with me). I did exactly what I wouldve done in real life... still didnt work lol, now Im talking to the owner and when that happens, its never pretty.

EDIT: Steamboat and trains are different lol

Yeah, in England we say people are talking bollocks when we think they're talking rubbish. So if I said Tottenham were the best team in the world, my friends would correctly say 'that's bollocks.'

You're thinking too far in advance.  I think Ian puts speed bumps in the way to keep it interesting, for us and him, to keep it interesting.  You have to manage today.  Hondo and Dorling have mastered it but the rest of us seem to find ways to put our foots in our mouths!

Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 28, 2013, 12:14:15 PM
I dont think that Jacko and Dorling are brilliant at the game as they are just sensible people who make sensible points and think well sensibly.

TyTy has been in a job 2 weeks into the season, tried to move Flash Davis who was upset about his treatment in Las Vegas as a starter and claimed to have found a home in Boise...out as a starter after announcing him as the starter mere weeks before. Followed by not knowing who his team was playing and then trying to argue with one of the more demanding owners in the league.

Franchise hired a coach he knows nothing about, tried to make himself a shooting expert for the team. Realized his coach was a FBL fan not a coach, continued asking bizzare questions and has once more done a fine job of assembling crap players.

Any scouting report on Duke Briscoe would have said he had an attitude problem and needs to be handled with kid gloves.

Rebs is trying to put all his offense through one man and then asked him to give more than what he can give on offense when he surrounded him with scorers who would have failed Franchise's scoring camp.

Jon found a way to insult his coach off the back and hired Mene Gene Okerland as his Assistant

Like I said. Jacko and Dorling just make sensible decisions, I would put Strike in that category now as well with Justin occassionally making a little hiccup he'd be there also. The scouting stuff is there to scout guys well, you got to make sure you are scouting players who will benefit your team at positions you want. How many of you wasted PR on scouting guys that you couldnt get in the draft? And then drafted someone else entirely different...plus all this sharing sneak peaks at reports makes no sense if your in competition with one another.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love running this game and the speed bumps whoever said that is dead on, put in there to make it fun and exciting during the season, but to be honest...most the time you guys create speed bumps and I aint got to do anything lol.

This is exactly it. I never think about other teams, only my own. I know when I have a good thing and never trade away good players if I don't need to. I think I've still only made 2/3 trades with other players, most of my team building has been through effective use of the free agency pool and the draft - even that I have completely avoided twice.

I never got this either. Having scouting reports can be a massive advantage. My PR is always maxed out so I get 1/2 reports and I always use them for lower rated guys that have potential upsides in their descriptions. I've only ever had to pick blind once...and that was a bad move.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on May 28, 2013, 12:34:25 PM
I dont really see it that way as all. Flash was originally never announced as a starter, he was the backup PG. I announced him as starter only for the games, never mentioned it for the season. And, am I really arguing with my owner lol, seems more trying to defend myself.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on May 28, 2013, 12:44:18 PM
I think the issue Ty, is that Flash was started and then panned in Vegas. Regardless of whether you stated in pre season if he would be the number 1, you started him and then panned him. Of course he isn't happy.

Guys...

It's part of the storyline. There aren't going to be any multiple leagues or any "World Cup" type games. It's just a device the game uses to keep the Free Agent lists trim and to help us in trades.

Just the media, I'd say. Morris is a decent coach and Steven's actually made Roswell a legitimate, will-fight-for-a-playoff-spot-every-season in the West since getting the guy to coach there.

I knew it was coming sooner or later, given Caleb's nature - was hoping I could have avoided it for at least another season, but it is what it is. However, on the other hand, I'm not opposed to paying players that are worthwhile. Rogers has been on par, Miles has been fantastic and really, Toom is a part of my core guys.

I'll play this one accordingly. If it works, great. If it doesn't, I may have to tweak some things here and there to make sure the team altogether is working. It's the nature of this game.

Probably means your bigs are weak and that Sy and Walton don't want to be the leader which would be logical given what Sy has said.

Q4. Does this team lack a presence inside?

Basically this is asking if your team is lacking someone down low who can score points, play defense, basically be a threat and contribute.

Q3. Are you concerned Sy Rogers and Greg Walton are too similar in terms of style?

Judging by the last two games you had, I would say that it has to do with them having near identical stat lines.

Also true. San Diego and Pittsburgh are the "better than what the record shows" teams ATM, if you ask me.

And while Reb's team wallet is probably dry and empty by now, the deal with Williams absolutely helps get shit together there in Anchorage. Happy for them.

Okay, someone help me with this. Cause of my lack of understanding of basketball (and the fact that I cant find good definitions of what I need on google), does this answer address the inside presense thing (does your team lack inside presence_

4.
I can see where someone could say that. In the western conference, we have some of the greatest centres and power forwards who've ever played the game, some nights its hard to feel like you have a strong inside presense when the Redford Shacks and Corbin Dallas's of the league playing against you, its hard sometimes for us to look like we're strong on the inside. We have a lot of great shooters, I think we have a great outside presence, but yeah, we might have a weakness on the inside.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

In real life, people stutter and misspeak all the time in interviews, call people the wrong name and correct themselves right away.  It's not like I accidentally called the commissioner bd or Sampson lol. I don't think Ian is nitpicky, he's fair enough to see it was a minor error that I corrected before the interview ended (James interview was in 2 posts, it's not unheard of to have multi post interviews.

Besides, literally I can't help it. I write from my crappy phone browser, I do read through but flipping between four tabs  on my phone is hard enough, no way I can  be 100 accurate

It's just a game man.  Shit like that is what makes it fun.  You have to learn to deal with your mistakes.  I used to type stuff on my phone and I fucked up one time and called Ronko, Rondo and had to trade him after that.  Just figure out a way to deal with it.

Alright, let me ask a question. Would a players refusal to enter a game make them in breach of their contract? I would assume it would.

At least Flash Davis (for example) is putting up the pretense of faking illness. Outright refusal to come off the bench?!?

I thought that was a very good move for you Stoner. Reminiscent of what Powers did.

Looks like Franchise or TyTy will be looking at Boston as their next home, unless Boston can lure away someone else.

Bone could easily end up in Honolulu, as I doubt he'd take the Boise gig.

Curious to see what offers some other GMs might get for jumping ship. Libre, Rob, and whoever else.

Ty, is your sole net access through your phone?  Reason I ask is because it seems like 90% of your trouble (lately) has been getting names wrong, not saying what you exactly mean, things like that. 

If you have other access besides the phone, maybe it'd be best to post solely from that.

Same here but at the same time you have to be realistic about it and realize that we're both at the bottom of the GM pool so that's less and less likely to happen.

When I was approached about joining the Hornets I asked if I could bring Owens, Holly and King with me.  The players that were traded away were El Stingo's idea.  I kinda wonder if it were possible for me to salvage my relationship with the Bells owner before hand, like if we would have understood why I benched Smith for that week, but now that's obviously an impossibility.  I was going to try and push my luck and see what kind of response I got from the Bells owner but El Stingo was pressuring me to act quickly so I pulled the trigger.

So I take it this means I am basically sitting out the rest of this season, correct?

I didn't think things would be handed to me on a silver platter when I made my move last season, but I didn't anticipate a 1-3 start, which led me to stick my foot in my mouth and make things WORSE.

If I can stay the course and get through the year (especially if I can get the contracts of my bench wiped out), I think that next year will be much, MUCH better.

Ty, your team isn't motivated and you ignored your coach when he said to lock in. Congratulations, you've turned into me when I was in charge of Boise.

Yeah but you could've done that after locking in. Now your coach is pissed with you and apparently your team morale is lost judging by what he said. Whenever your coach says lock in, LOCK IN.

If you look, both me and BD have been notably improving. BD hasnt really messed up in dealing with his players and I have been doing better at patience in the offseason. I have noticed that you dont seem to be in denial as much about the quality of your teams (which showed in your soft firing)

It's true. If I remember correctly the last time you got fired started because you didn't lock in when the coach wanted and kept talking which led to a similar situation in Mississippi.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

No, you recall slightly wrong. I shouldve locked in but I didn't. Preseason, I tried to lock in but my PR lady said two players had contracts to be renewed and I misintrepreted as advice to go finish it, similiar but different lol

Ty, nothing EVER goes according to plan in the FBL, lol.

It does if you actually have a plan and stick to it. So many GM's get tempted by trades they don't need and mess up their team. My plan for my winning season was confirmed as soon as I knew Fletcher was going to be available. I blocked everything else out and focused on my team. It went EXACTLY according to plan.

Observing Hondo and Dorling is sorta how I initially began to approach - sans a few mishaps, I think it's paid dividends.

Keep a solid core of players, make the right moves, don't stick one's foot in one's mouth...and you've got a recipe to compete accordingly, at least.

How long of a commitment are we talking about? I definitely have free time now that I'm out of school, and I'm sure when I find a job I can adjust when I'm posting here to keep within deadlines.

Guesses:

"Hooks" - Harlem, Harrisburg - Would love Harlem team, also a team in Philly would be cool.

"Riverbandits" - Raleigh, Rhode Island, Little Rock, Baton Rouge - I like Baton Rouge, would also work with the name.

"Defenders" - Detroit, Denver, Des Moines - All 3 would be nice.

"Jaguars" - New Jersey, Juneau, - Team of Guidos? or a team in Alaska

You should try a heart-to-heart pep talk with the team.  It's better to actually try and salvage your team before jumping ship....again.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on June 06, 2013, 03:56:05 PM
I dont intend to jump ship every season lol

In Roswell, things were going perfect. I was new to the game though and made a huge mistake.

In Hollywood, I stuck it out and got fired, I never tried jumping ship at all. (curse the biologists, I lasted 2 seasons and was poised to make the playoffs)

In Mississippi, I admit that I may have been premature, I honestly thought I was about to be fired. I shouldve stuck.

Now, its near inevitable I think that Im going to be fired, I could try but with a coach that is walked out, its going to be near impossible


@James, Shack scored the 51

You're not fired till you're fired though dude. Till then fight for it, tell the owner why he shouldn't fire you, tell the players why they should be confident in you. Consistency is going to be the key here, look at how successful Hondo and Justin have been with consistency.

The coach hasn't walked yet, Ty. The owner can choose you or him. How you handle it will be the determining factor. Look at what happened to me. I ended on good terms with the owner because of how I handled things. It's all going to depend on what happens this week in your press conference and interactions.

aye, this season I just got hit by a lot of bad luck (the two press conferences) with a cherry of an idiot move (should have locked in)

I think I can turn things around in the next city for sure


I cant work at Walmart, they have papers on me

You're really scratching the surface if you can't get a job at WalMart!

(http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/images/walmart14a.jpg)

I had a job at Walmart, for two years. Got promoted and everything too. Was in line for another promotion, got passed up on it on account of being too young and not fitting in to the 'management structure'. Went above the managers head and made a case to district management (they rehired a person who had been fired for getting high and no-showing a week of work and offered him the promotion to get him back... a week later, he got high and no showed. Crackheads eh?). District (who I had met and built a good relationship with) agreed with me and had a meeting with me without telling my manager. Long story short, two days later the manager pulls me into the office and I get accused of stealing a roll of duct tape and, kaputts, there goes any chance I have of working at Walmart again

after I got fired, I took up by other two jobs more seriously, got on at a union job (with great benefits) and ended up meeting my wife at work shortly after.

I went from Walmart to government job, dont think ill be going back down lol

(sorry, side story)

Also thanks to Jon for pulling together the info on All-Star Weekend I now have a tab on spreadsheet 2 of the FBL just to keep records.

My next project is I am going to try and pull together a GM's list of where people GM'd and for how long and what their record was at the team before getting the boot or moving on or whatever...

So we have had Seasons 6-12 since we made the game "real" so to speak. Some years we have added expansion teams and other years we havent. I'd like to keep a record of yours guys stats and who moved around the most and what not for future FBL articles. I guess with having so much data for FBL, it was something I overlooked.

If you know stuff that would be helpful. Like your record. Obviously for you and Hondo you have only ever been with one team so its a straight record thing. But I cant always remember what seasons we brought in expansion teams and also in some cases when folks got fired and their record with said team before they got the can. Think it could make an interesting piece to speak about.

Yep, I'm sure I'd still be in Virginia if I chose not to leave. But I really wanted the opportunity to start a franchise. It was tough to say the least to follow in Blade's and Dorling's footsteps.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I cant decide, does an expansion draft favor or work against Dorling and the aging Aces?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on June 07, 2013, 10:51:59 AM
It probably favors him depending on the draft. Makes the expansion teams a bit stronger too, gets them off the ground. They've got a great chance of reaching the playoffs
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on June 07, 2013, 11:26:11 AM

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on June 07, 2013, 11:46:04 AM
Considering most teams let their problem player's fall into the expansion draft, o player's that they overpaid or signed to long contracts they don't want to honor any longer...it really helps to have an early pick.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on June 08, 2013, 02:15:27 AM
After this season ends, usually during playoffs.

First things you need to think of, download your team sheet. It will look slightly different then the one in your thread as you no longer have Rogers or Prince on your team.

(here's what your current team sheet is, salary is in same order as players)


Name:         Pos.      Years as pro/age       Grade
Greg Walton      SF      7- 27 years old      C
Grizla Valinka      PF/C      4-27         D
Baldo         C      R-26         C
Flash Davis      PG/SG      3-25         C
Jon Treble              SG      R-22         C-
Tony Luco              SF/PF   6-28         C-
Hank Gray              F/C      R-28         C
Michael Watchen   PG      R-22         C-

3-8m
expired
4-6m
4-2m
3-4,5m
4-1m
3-5m
4-3.5m
28m total

Coaches
Conrad Class    B ranked   3 years at 9.5m
Tony Luco   ?? ranked   his player play covers this


Finances – 1 million to scout with (the rest was used to scout earlier in the season)

PR sits currently at 9.5 m (of 15 mill)

Players salary is 28m of 50




Now, your owner should automatically send some players to the entry draft, Flash and Grizla are almost guarenteed lost to you

Your coach is expensive but worth it



Anything else to add?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on June 08, 2013, 02:17:32 AM
You'll likely lose Grizla and Flash to expansion from the looks of it.

Now the question I pose to you, based on your rep and inability to secure tight contracts, would you seek to do a huge trade (like the, who was it, Bennet for first overall pick a few years back) or do you gamble high and hope for a good pick?

Now the question I pose to you, based on your rep and inability to secure tight contracts, would you seek to do a huge trade (like the, who was it, Bennet for first overall pick a few years back) or do you gamble high and hope for a good pick?

Masterminding that one with Cory (Anchorage's first overall for a first rounder Texas had that turned out to be Bolak Huir for Kamil Bennett) and then getting a deal done with Fisk to get Damore Richards and Chris Jones for Kris Keys, Vlakov and a second rounder for S10...

Fucking hell, why did I call Redford Shack that season? WHY?!?!?! D:

Honestly it would depend on scouting reports and the information in them, draft positioning, strength of the expansion draft players when I'm up to draft, and the contracts of said players when they sign. But that's a long way off so I'm not even thinking about trading nor did the thought of doing that enter my mind until reading your post.

Its intriguing for sure, he has the experience to make this expansion draft... unique. If he gets Dorling or Hondo (whatever conference he's in, the other one) to help him form a plan, he can do some major damage and form an awesome team.

James, I say entertain offers on your picks. In theory, you could build a team of players already signed to contracts

From somebody who has had experience with the expansion draft...wise use of the scouting reports will help make the decision on whether you're better off sticking to your draft picks or looking to make some trades.

Also...the expansion draft should be filled with its fair share of folks. Thus...um...try not to go after bench player after bench player, maybe? *shrug*

Realistically you just need a good knowledge of the players going in. I drafted in some good players but they ended up playing out of position or started when they shouldn't. Your knowledge should help you in that aspect.

This is true. I remember I put out a list of guys to go after pre-draft out of the expansion draft list and you picked the bulk of them compared to Josh. The only thing that did hurt you was the position thing but you did end up making the playoffs so that worked out pretty good for you that season.

More or less, time is the big one. If you dont mess up and change things all the time, things should be fine. Also, if you say, 'x player is better than y', it causes dissension. The longer they play together, the better chemistry and morale is

Good coaching plays a part in it. Also being able to manage your players accordingly, keeping them upbeat and all does help.

Chemistry played a part for me last season where things clicked after the All-Star Break and I ended up winning 8 in a row before getting stopped in the playoffs.

All of these things are a factor in what happens. How you manage things overall also is a factor, meaning contracts, have few problem players, win games, etc.

He was supposed to be the next Gretsky (Troy Marshall), got drafted by Quebec City (unpopular french city, your team in the scenario), refused to play, Quebec traded him and got an amazing set of players.

End result: Quebec became Colorado and won the cup, Eric busted

Nah, you've been appointed as the GM of the River Bandits. Once offseason is upon you, stuff like the expansion draft/college draft will start and you'll be able to go through and draft players. Plus, since you've got an expansion team, you get 6 free scouting reports w/no bias whatsoever to use as you see fit on the college draft guys.

I have no idea.  But I saw the term "Former Soldier" and wanted to prevent Prancy from getting a player who was going to be pissed because of someone not realizing he was in a different branch of the military than was thought.  Most people in the real world would likely write it off as a whatever, but in the FBL that tends to not be the case.  lol.

I am amazed at the 713 pages of posts though.

You can ignore the 619 of those that belong to Prancy...

No point reading anything before your intro to the game B. I would have a look at a few game threads though and take a look in the archive for some of last seasons actions.

Great win for BD there... the opportunity to send Fox packing with no penalties is huge.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on June 08, 2013, 09:52:39 PM
It's not really a good thing for BD, because he doesn't ant to get rid of Fox...he wants to control hm and use him for the rest of the season. Getting rid of him doesn't help BD unless that boosts the morale of his team, which he won't know until after he does it. Benching him seemed to have not helped with morale as they began to lose games, but you never know what firing him will do.

BREAKING NEWS...GREAT BALLING WEEK FROM CROSS MARRED BY MASSIVE PARTY...WRECKS STREET HE LIVES ON.

Dr. Refined might be a busy man this week as James Cross who had a sensational week off the bench for the Virginia Colonials, celebrated by throwing a massive party and smashing up his street. The actions of Cross have been typical of a man who was so badly scared in his early FBL career and has never truly recovered. Assistant Coach Nathan Spots said.

"He has had such a troubled career with flashes of brilliance at times...but I think people are less likely to remember James Cross for his play on the court, than his life off the court"

Duke Briscoe is currently seeking anger management consoling with Dr. Refined and Cross a regular at his clinic will probably find another spell there.

On one hand I'd like it to hurry, but at the same time I'm a pretty patient dude who wont lose my shit if you guys take a little extra time to do what you need in order to maximize your chances of winning/having fun.

Further to this, I dont plan on rushing the game at all for this season cause folks are sitting out. Merely at the moment with my new job role I am doing stuff as I find time, so for those desperately wanting folks to hurry up and finish this season, they will all be playing at their own pace. Not their fault you got fired/quit lol.

Quick shout-out to Pancho - I was shooting the breeze with him while doing these and he gave me some good ideas on the color schemes for the Defenders and Jaguars jerseys.

As a gift, I kinda tried my hand at the Blades jerseys and well, here:

QuoteQ4. Are you at all concerned with the Bobby Joe Roddick story?

I don't know that "concerned" is the word I'd use. "Creeped out" may be better. Or possibly "always make sure no one else is in the room before I drop a deuce". I'd hate to be the subject of one of the Lifehour movies with those ridiculous titles. "RAPED WITH A BASKETBALL: The Jack Hondo Story" or "CUMSTAINS ON THE COURT: The Twisted Tales of a Mentally Deranged Basketball Coach". I don't know what it would do to team morale, but it was most definitely ruin my own.

This is hilarious.

Idea: Much like how Ian and TFWF use WWE 13 to simulate their big PPVS (or used to) I was thinking we do the same with NBA 2k13 or something for the FBL Finals.

If anyone has 2k13 for the 360 and wanted to hook a brotha up, I have recording software for my 360 to capture HD gameplay. Wouldnt be nothing to create FBL teams/players and play out the sim.

Yeah, they do have a PC version for it - I'd have gotten it on PC instead if mine was powerful enough to run it. There are some pretty good custom set-ups done by members of that community for it with an anime basketball series I like (Slam Dunk, for the one or two of you curious).

Yup. And since Stanza has got one year left, this is confirmed for next season, so it is fair game.

My mistake was going after someone too early. Stanza has reason to be unhappy and its 3/4 of the way through the season, makes sense that he would be looking forward

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on June 18, 2013, 03:50:11 PM
PREDICTIONS DUN DUN DUN

Texas 13-5
Tampa Bay - 13-5
Puerto Rico - 12-6
Providence - 11-7
Kentucky - 11-7
Pittsburgh - 10-8
Virginia - 8-10
Mississippi - 7-11

Las Vegas - 14-4
Hollywood - 13-5
Wyoming - 12-6
Seattle - 11-7
Roswell - 10-8
Montana - 9-9
Anchorage - 9-9
San Diego - 8-10

I cut the GMless teams because they have no shot. Out in the East, Providence and Kentucky stay even, but Providence holds the tie breaker. Pittsburgh gets close, but doesn't do enough. Texas also takes advantage of Tampa Bay's late problems to take the #1 seed. Tampa might have fallen further, but they have a favorable schedule down the stretch. Puerto Rico stays the course. Out in the West, Las Vegas takes the #1 seed by virtue of having the easiest schedule down the stretch. Conversely Montana has the toughest schedule of the remaining teams and could drop out of the playoffs. Hollywood stays the course, while Wyoming and Seattle ride their late season momentum to snag the last two spots. Roswell misses out as they also have a more difficult schedule.

I agree on the trade thing. McCool wants out if the Steamers too. Maybe trade one for him and then trade the other two in separate deals.

I actually think he's in good position.  Remo would have never been able to shine with Lights and Shack.  He's proven this season that he can play and without playing under Shack's shadow he can really flourish.

Remo wasn't a Vegas type player.  He clearly didn't like Shack as was evident in the team meeting.  He's young enough that any damage wouldn't be permanent.  But more importantly than what I got in the trade I got the security of Wright back and signed on for the same contract.  Won't know how good or bad the trade was for either team till it plays out next year but enough has already happened this year that I feel good about it.

What would Troy even be worth? Would the first pick in both round of the draft be enough? Would Krease + a draft pick be what it would take (I say this because Im not sure Krease would fit in PR)? Boston's 4 picks + a player seems to even not be enough.

I can't imagine what this trade would look like, I only see one option but whatever Justin does, the league's gonna be a different place next year

Someones coaching reputation is going to take a hit.  When a coach gives you an ultimatum you do what he wants or you tell him to fuck off.  You rode that fence all the way to his resignation.  And you'll probably expantion those guys anyway now.

1) don't ignore the advice your coach gives you.

2) figure out what questions you can ask to get the best out of them.

People still get this so, so wrong. Coaches won't pick the lineup, but they will answer questions about player abilities. Assistants will answer questions about players potential or likely effects of a position change (and complete said change according to their abilities). Coaches are there to carry out your instructions and to give you advice, hopefully leading to your instructions therefore being logical and effective.

I'm probably going to pay for trading Bolak again but getting Hallmark without giving up a first round pick was too good of a deal to pass-up.

I had a couple of other irons in the fire but when all Shields wanted back for Hallmark was Bolak, I was sold.

Post by: Jon on June 28, 2013, 07:48:48 AM
Well Hondo brought up some good points in the CB yesterday.

It's good trades in the POV of if Hallmark and Danberry jet for the SL. Then Shields gets nothing in return.

Now, I still think he should have tried to at least salvage the situation instead of just shipping them off. I mean, at the very least he owed it to Hallmark and Danberry to at least talk to them before he traded away from the franchise they helped build.

What happens with the fallout of these trades will be interesting though.

- Hallmark and Danberry could still jet to the SL to team with Conrad again.
- Jackson and Bolak could refuse to play for Virginia. Potentially could also jet for the SL.
- What will Mr. Hayes have to say about Shields dealing away the two faces of Virginia. Could it be his job?
- It could all be fine and Anchorage got their second scorer to go along with a sound defensive team. Pittsburgh got a steal for Danberry and will be immediate contenders for Season 13. And Virginia has good pieces to rebuild the team.

Interesting indeed.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on June 28, 2013, 07:56:56 AM
The Creed trade was okay, the Bolak one just... okay Bolak IS one of the best defenders in the game, but Hallmark is one of the best PGs. Are PGs a little easier to come by than great defenders? Yes. A grade point guards? Not so much. I just don't think it was worth the potential fallout of trading away the 'pillars' of the team. Remember what happened last time someone traded away a player synonymous with their team?

I also think that Danberry is classy enough to announce if he was intending on leaving Virginia, as he's a very professional type of player, at least in my opinion. I think if Shields survives this, he will be on his last strike with the Colonials.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Hondo on June 28, 2013, 08:07:01 AM
It's kind of a "darned if you do, danged if you don't" type situation for Shields.

It's hard to fix player relationships in this game. Impossible? No. But hard to do. I've only ever actually done it once myself (GoGo), and ended up losing guys like Sheldon Day and Shakers Lee and Carl Cooper. Danberry's a good egg, but there's no guarantee he wouldn't have left after being disrespected. Hallmark was a much better bet to leave.

So consider, if Danberry and Hallmark had just left for the SL, his owner would have fired him stone dead on the spot. Do no pass GO, do not collect $200. At least this way, he's given himself a fighting chance, with two pretty good players and an extra draft pick to play with. Are Jackson and Huir as good as Danberry and Hallmark? Nope. But those two are better than having to sift through the FA Pool after the Expansion Draft for replacements. I'll take two "B" players over two "C-" players any day.

Of course, everything that Jon says rings true. It's still possible as we've seen in the past that those involved refuse to report to their new teams. And Shields' owner may still can him after the season. But I'll give the guy credit for not taking it lying down. Going out in a blaze of glory and all that.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on June 28, 2013, 11:10:42 AM
The Bolak deal was not good. If I were in the same situation I would've tried to make a trade for a top level point guard like a Rogers or a Gravin, basically a top level ball distributor and All FBL Team ballot regular point guard to make up for the loss of Hallmark. Bolak is a good defender but that was not a good deal from my perspective. As mentioned earlier Hallmark is an A level point guard. That s RARE. Not a good deal in my opinion.

It'll be interesting to see if Shields survives this too.

I did those trades in part because I felt like it was all but a certainty that Hallmark and Danberry were gonna go, but also in part to get out of the shadow of Dorling. As long as I had "his players" and "his coaches", I was just gonna keep having people expecting me to do what he did. Now, I've got players I can work with and have my team. The only player that's gonna be the same from when I came in is gonna be Chik. I've saved the team some money, I've got younger, and I've made my own team.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Chris Shields on June 28, 2013, 12:02:55 PM
Probably, but a big part of the deal for me was the money. Creed's contract was basically the exact same as Hallmark's, so I just took that and replaced it when calculating cap space. Bolak's contract was 7 million and Danberry's was 11 million. So out of the deal, I got the SG I needed who happens to be one of the best defensive players in the league, a young talented center, another 1st round draft pick, and saved 4 million in cap space.

Salaries though are an issue. Plus then if you look at it, if Stoner has that problem then he might have to lose players of decent value for an average return to get his roster. So everything is not always a silver lining. That is how all you all should be approaching negoiations.

The value of the player in terms of his position in reference to the rest of the league players who can play that position

Why a team should want to trade a player to balance the books and then what does that make the actual players worth. Does an A therefore become a B if his current team has to get a load of F players around him to balance the books

I understand that and especially with Leon and Creed as the twin towers.  Reading the Kentucky thread I remember there coach making that same argument about having two big men and paying them both a lot.

The way I see it...Stoner's got some tools to succeed with this newly built Virginia team.

However, the man management needs to be there and I feel this could possibly be a SHORT time window to win it. Just due to the salaries. But they do look quite sexy for their starters next season.

Question.  For multi positions players, does the first position listed represent their preferred one, or is it irrelevant.

For example a PG/SG would prefer to play at PG.  A F/C would prefer to play at forward.  Or am I over thinking it?

Yea, you'll occasionally find hick-ups where SG is listed over PG or C is listed before PF, and things in that nature.

Jerseys. Ok so no doubt this year we will want to do something with this. The Colonials will be retiring both the Danberry and Hallmark jerseys due to the annoyance level of what happened there. Jen has also opted to retire Maverick Peters and Chucky Dorrance jerseys as well.

To team Chris' producing this, please make sure we remember to do this as well so I can update the team sheets for next season. Rob the Diamonds will also request that Buck Fender has the number 98 jersey retired due to his committment of getting the team off the ground.

Anyone who also wants to future deal their protections and unprotections please do. I wont allow it to 'count' in storyline sense until your season is finished. Scouting reports are also welcome at this time:

Portsmouth
Baton Rogue
Bismark
Colorado

all have 6 free scouting reports each to use and will get an accurate assessment on players. My advice is to not share these with the other GMs despite people trying to tell you its a good idea. They all get scouting reports from their Assistant Coaches which is dependant on how good the coach is, what the relationship is like and is specific to how they fit into the team. Please PM me who you want to use the reports on.

Outside that, I think we are ok. Dorling if you can share with Strike how you set out the jerseys that would be great, I am conscious you are potentially on the big move in your own life with career prospects and having to do the jerseys might be tough going forward.

Lets have a good final week to the season!

If Pitt wins both games they'd end up at 11-7, and I think they actually hold the tie breaker over Tampa and PR...but Tampa and PR play the bottom teams in the league as well as each other. Winner of the Tampa PR game ends up at 4, loser ends up at 6 if Pitt can win out. Pancho needs someone to lose to Boston or Birmingham for him to get into the playoffs. Technically possible, but practically not.

Damn not too sure what to think. I mean McCool has had some character issues in the past (i believe) and the 1st round pick wont be a high one, but McCool is elite.

But damn, 2 C+ and a B next year (fair bet) for a A  ...... nice trade Powers.

Thanks Cory.  It was more than fair to Strike though.  It may not be a Top 10 pick, but this years draft should be stacked, so Strike should get good value.

You jumped the gun on that very early man... Mays needed space, and yeah, he was going to leave for the week, but at least he ASKED you, as opposed to it being a case where it was another pure AWOL. If he had actually left, then yeah, I understand, but offering the job to someone else without Mays actually definitely quitting just shot the situation in the foot.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on July 02, 2013, 11:28:42 AM
I see that side, but a Coach asking to leave for the week the most important week of the season, I couldn't just push over and be like "oh well". I thought the outcome from Legacy would be "I've coached this team 2-0 in Maurices absence before, he leaves on the biggest week of the season and Im still not getting what I deserve" if I didn't say anything about Mays.

Oh well, I may need a break.

But if he isn't protected he has to go into the expansion draft, so teams will at least have an opportunity to negotiate with him before he rejects and disappears to Europe or Canada.

It seemed obvious to ask him why.  Why would someone ask for a week off, especially when they could just not show-up if they wanted to piss in your cornflakes.  I think that's ultimately what got you in hot water.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on July 02, 2013, 03:01:00 PM
So after giving Coach Mays the week off to handle his stuff, giving him no isses, breakdown what I said.

QuoteCoach Mays has informed me that he will not be joining the team next week. I've come to the decision that he no longer wants to be apart of this team.

- Didn't bash him for taking the week off, so theres no "gave him shit for seeing his ill Aunt", and Mays was unsure if he was going to return to Tampa for the last few weeks. Due to his two absent weeks, it became clear he wasn't fully committed to the team, ESPECIALLY missing the final week where its all or nothing for the playoffs.

QuoteYou were 2-0 in Maurice's first absence and your going to lead the team this week and try and get us into the playoffs. Id love to offer you the head coaching position here for Tampa next season Mr. Legacy

- Still have yet to take a shot at Maurice for taking time off, and offered Legacy a formal offer to be the head coach. Not figures, now "Id love to offer you a 5 million  @ 4yr deal" or anyting. Simply asking him to be the head coach next season.

QuoteNow I was going to come to you this week regardless of Maurice's decision to leave, because I wanted to see if you could tell me whats been going on with this team the last two weeks. From 10-2 to 0-4 there is something off.... was it Coach Mays?

- Again, a very fair question. Maurice had entered this DIVA mode and we went 0-4 during that time. I asked if there was something off about Coach Mays....he could have said there was a personal problem (his Aunt) or ANYTHING

I still think im getting a very raw end of the deal here.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: J-Reb on July 02, 2013, 03:03:41 PM
If one of my employees came up to me and said, "I need the whole week off," my first question would be - "is everything OK?"

It's easy to circle back and see how insensitive it may have seemed.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Thats fair but the big issue seems to be me asking Legacy to be the head coach....when Mays clearly hinted he was leaving

QuoteYeah I guess, look I am not 100 percent sure THIS is going to work, but I will ride out the season here looking to give the guys my best...

I think it was fair, especially giving Mays missing the all or nothing week, to formally offer him the job. Bad timing, perhaps a little, but to blow up like this is harsh I think.


I understand with my rep maybe, but I think I should be able to explain it....and if I lose em I guess thats punishment enough, but if Hayes and Jones go holy fuck man.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on July 02, 2013, 03:14:09 PM
My concern is Jones and Hayes wanting to leave. They were appalled at the way Coach Mays was treated which can only be: A) Me looking for a new head coach  B) Me giving him shit/no caring about his aunt.

A) He already said he was going to finish this season out and that was it. We were going to have to find a new head coach.

B) I didn't give him any trouble about taking the week off, nor even said anything "behind him back" about taking the week off.

BREAKING NEWS...MOOSE CONFIDENT HE HAS DONE ENOUGH TO STAY WITH STARS

Kevin Moose might not be the most breathtaking player at the SG position for the Hollywood Stars, but the 4th year man from Duke has been Mr. Reliable at the 2 guard for the Stars who finished 2nd in the Western Conference. Moose thinks this is enough to stick on with the team next year.

"I appreciate the coaching staff has to make tough calls, I don't want to get too much into that given we have playoffs on the horizon, but yeah I think I will be here next year."

The Stars are set to host the Toppers in what many pundits believe will be the clash of the semi finals across the two conferences.

AWKWAAAAAAAARD.

Alright, I was a little bored and got to thinking about a realignment in each conference... basically just adding divisions. I thought of 2 and 3 divisions per conference and here is how I think it would look.

TWO DIVISIONS

WESTERN CONFERENCE

DIVISION ONE
-----
Anchorage
Honolulu
San Diego
Hollywood
Seattle
Las Vegas/Boise (Depending on how important rivals like Vegas/Hollywood being in separate conferences would be.)

DIVISION TWO
-----
Las Vegas/Boise
Bismark
Colorado
Roswell
Wyoming
Montana


EASTERN CONFERENCE

DIVISION ONE
-----
Providence
Portsmouth
Boston
Virginia
Tampa Bay
Puerto Rico

DIVISION TWO
-----
Kentucky
Mississippi
Birmingham
Baton Rouge
Texas
Pittsburgh


-----------------------------------------------------------------


THREE DIVISIONS

WESTERN CONFERENCE

DIVISION ONE
-----
Anchorage
Honolulu
San Diego
Seattle

DIVISION TWO
-----
Las Vegas
Boise
Hollywood
Colorado

DIVISION THREE
-----
Roswell
Montana
Wyoming
Bismark


EASTERN CONFERENCE

DIVISION ONE
-----
Providence
Portsmouth
Boston
Virginia

DIVISION TWO
-----
Pittsburgh
Mississippi
Kentucky
Texas

DIVISION THREE
-----
Baton Rouge
Birmingham
Tampa Bay
Puerto Rico


-----------------------------------------------------------------


TWO DIVISION PLAYOFFS
-----
Division winners get first round bye.
Next four best records get into playoffs.
Best of 1 - First Round
Best of 3 - Second Round
Best of 5 - Conference Finals
Best of 7 - FBL Finals

THREE DIVISION PLAYOFFS
-----
Division winners get into playoffs
Play-In WildCard Game for 4 seed (Like MLB does)
Best of 1 - Wildcard
Best of 3 - Second Round
Best of 5 - Conference Finals
Best of 7 - FBL Finals

You have to pick a minimum of two players (I think) and a maximum of six.


So basically, you draft until everyone is finished,

I swear I'm never going to figure this game out. 2 seasons in a row I've been given problems to deal with and dealt with them, as confirmed by the players. I had my team playing the best ball with the best record in the FBL and then I lose to a shorthanded team that barely made the playoffs with no explanation while a guy who has pissed off most of his players and has no coaches beats the favourites...

I'm at a complete loss as to how to improve as everything in game suggested things were going extremely well.

I'm sorry to be a nit picker.  It's not time, it's that I've evaluated myself and I don't feel I have the passion level right now.

I just didn't want to take a spot from somebody who'd be way more passionate about the game.

I've looked back since coming back from the break, and you can see a marked drop off in my play.  I'm always way late in getting responses, and I seem to be putting as little effort in as possible.

Quite frankly (and no offense to Franchise) I find if I wasn't able to be as good at keeping most of my people happy, I would of been fired because to me my play was just like Franchises.

The other losing play off coaches were like 'tough luck' or 'wow that was bad'... I guess it's just me reading it as him throwing up his hands and walking off onto his holidays. Didn't get a chance to say anything, had I wanted to.

Essentially, I traded Krease McCool/1st Rounder/2nd Rounder
for
Damore Richards/Joe Reed/Mack Ryan


Damn, I still can't believe it all worked out that way!!!

Powers definitely making some good moves. 

I feel good about the guys I've picked up as well.

Rolo
Marshall (hopefully)
Perkins
Toom

Good starting line up. Just need to find a decent PG and fill out the bench.

Hated to see Reed go, but I benefit a lot more from a scoring SG in Miles Peters than I do Reed, who is more or less redundant alongside Kamil Bennett.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on July 06, 2013, 06:05:32 PM
And the only way I would've pulled that deal was if I could unload Tooms.....and Justin comes in to save the day!


Just did the math, and it isn't too bad.  My 4 players make $37 million.  Richards indicated he wanted to make $12, so that brings me to $40.  That leaves $10 million for a starting SF and some bench players.  Tight, but I think it can work.

He 100% future deal'd it. No additional years, so he will be on a 1 year $12 million deal for Season 13.

Bit of that, a bit of the news story about the SL being in talks with him, a bit of my rep, a bit of Blair Smith, a bit of me not being anywhere near in panic mode due to the 4 picks and ton of cap space I have. I wouldve loved to have him but the gamble wouldve been too high

So J-Reb had some one tell him yes to be a player/coach and he didn't get that done and is looking for more coaches?

He asked for Tony Luco... but couldn't get a deal done with Boise.

Now that Boise is under gm control instead of Ian, couldn't he try to work something out?

NEW PLAYERS:

Check the agent,  the initials tell you who it is, check the free agents posting for details on the agents in the game or ask a fellow FBLer. All in grey are for the expansion draft.

College players you can ask for the 'representation of the player' once you draft the player

Flins, you got yourself a great Head Coach.  He's been steadily getting better as an Assistant for years, and has finally decided to make the jump.   His scouting reports were EXCELLENT, so that goes to show that he has a great mind for the game.

He has Class/Timms at $9.5 total.
And then his PR players are Dreams ($3) and Jackson ($2.5).

The draft/free agent period (basically off season stuff) requires the most attention. In season, your looking at an average of 3-4 posts a day (and thats AVERAGED - some days you aren't posting, and are just waiting for others to get their shit together). Once you get the hang of it, the requirement is about 10-20 minutes daily.

That doesn't include time lost THINKING about this crazy game....

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Exactly....I like was saying in the shoutbox last night. You either take a gamble or get someone whose proven crazy/sucks at this stage for Assistant coaches. My case:

Flips, Simpson, Franks, Rodick, Callahan, are all complete shit.

Cappy is a drunk, whose PR for rehab didnt work last season,

Phil Bull was rediculous....another top Franchise signing, Tweed Bellham has no experience, Father Mura only ever taught kids basketball...wouldnt be surprised if he has like a pedophile angle lol, and Jerry Scott/Shanice Tulls sound like two good ones, but were given to teams/approached teams on their own, so no chance to get them.

So that leaves Hirko for me. A gamble, but a mystery. No one knows if hell be good or bad, but hes not already confirmed to be horrible....so we'll wait and see. But if he's good....he may have info on the Japanese players from the draft this year.

This is still a gamble as my pick tho...Its fair to assume he wont suck because of Bogolivs rating, but he never said how he knew Bogolov or even if he coaches basketball. Lol, this could be like a gambling debt paid off or something outrageous like that.

Anyway, I don't see that to be as big a gamble as hiring someone who doesn't speak any English. Who knows if he's the right guy for the job? None of us will truly know until the post-training teamsheets and next seasons scout reports.

My only this thats SOMEWHAT comforting is that guys with no experience/joke are pretty much always rookie....looking at the FA sheet, he has 8 Yrs experience .... I assume Ian would only put that if its Basketball experience....as the only other confirmed Assitant with experience (Jerry Scott coached in college) has 2yrs experience as well.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on July 08, 2013, 06:37:10 AM

I think, given it's Bogolov, who is highly rated and likes Rob, he won't be a dud. He might be Bogolov's variety of eccentric, but not a bad coach.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on July 08, 2013, 09:02:22 AM
Father Mura is looking like a great signing by Bone, if those two "orphans" end up being quality players.

I like Phil Bull, but I'm not sure if he's going to be a good coach or not. He's as much of a ??? as Hirko and Tweed are. Only thing is I'm not sure if he's a basketball coach or a football coach. But he's entertaining nonetheless.

And like Cory said, since Jerry Scott and Shanice Tulls approached other GMs, it's safe to assume they are of average quality at the least.

Tweed learning under Horace Hall is ideal though, so him landing in Montana is important for his development. He Ty gets him to work under Gene Okenfunk... oh man...

And Hirko... could be an amazing assistant or a complete dud. He doesn't strike me as someone who would be a dud though, so I think Cory has himself a decent assistant. Although if he turns out to only speak "I do a basketball...", he might be my favorite out of this crop of coaches.

This was my thinking as well. He did say in Bone's thread that he coached at both Swansea and Cardiff. Kind of a gamble, could either be decent or a dud much like the others.

Scott, Vlad and apparently Borgavich just decided to leave. I suspect with all the rumours Apollo will leave now too. Maybe I should just quit, save the team from losing anything else

When you said that last season you had the MVP, his chief creator and one of the best coaches. Now you have a drunk in charge and Sean Rivers. Pancho has Clint Danberry. I see trouble ahead GM Rob.

Why are people so quick to want to quit after they screw up? We all know, nobody ever quits because of mistakes.

And Alex... $5 million for Grizla?????????? That's crazy man! Need to start asking some of us before you make some of these decisions. We can at least point you in the right direction.

Your coaching will be suspect. But you'll have Bell, Rivers, and Apollo. That's a solid 3 right there. Just build around them a little and yes, you'll lose some ground from last season, but you won't fall off the map.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on July 09, 2013, 05:56:06 AM
Yes it will be. I have high hopes for Rivers and Bell.

I kinda wish this had happened to someone else so I could've got Rivers in as cheap as I did to slot in at SG with Cunningham and Chang. Oh well.


I hope you guys don't think I'm butt-hurt or anything. Not at all. I'm a little frustrated at having everything taken away but where's the fun in never having anything to do? Game is built on mistakes or unforeseen changes and how you handle them, I'm still having a blast.

For free agents, ask for their agent.

For coaches, ask for them directly.

Also, look on the thread "FREE AGENTS AND COACHES" on the main FBL board.  It's pinned at the top.  There will be a list of free agents and coaches that are available.  However, you're a little behind at this point, and many have already been signed.  Perhaps somebody who has been able to keep up a little better will have a more updated list to share with you.

I have one minor issue with the thing Dorling posted.  He makes it seem like I was fired, or something, from the Bells when that wasn't the case.  Or even close to it.  I was offered a job with the Greenhornets, which was the one I wanted to begin with, and took it(along with three of the rookies that I was surrounding Smith with).  In fact both teams I went to after leaving the Bells cited the way I handled Smith as a big part of the reason they wanted me to begin with.  So the one thing you commented on, in a negative light no less, was the very thing that got me set up with the team I am GMing right now.

I have a request that would be greatly appreciated.  Its just some stuff I need to keep myself organized for the season.

Any positions that the players on my team have as secondary.  I have no idea what teams they came from, so I don't know where to look on the other spreadsheets for them.

Also who their representatives are.

My current players are: 

Dre Majors      PG
Bolak Huir      SF
Leon Dreams      PF
Creed Jackson      C
Suziki Hondo      PG

Thats what I have for them so far.  Again, greatly appreciated.

Dre Majors      PG/SG   8      0   SM      2   C+
Bolak Huir      SG/SF   7      0   PS      2   B-
Leon Dreams      PF/C   13      3   NF      2   B-
Creed Jackson      C   11.5      2.5   YC      1   B
Suziki Hondo      PG   0.75      0   TC      2   C+

Would anyone be capable of providing me with the names to go with the initials of the representatives?  Namely SM, PS, NF, YC and TC?

Maybe we should collectively take a look at BD's roster and proxy his pick for him. He's been gone for several days. I know he's really sick, and because of that there's nothing we can do about that. We either wait or move forward without him.

Mowa's going to be solid. I really liked the report on him, but couldn't work a way to get him.  One of my ideas was to try to trade back and get two middle firsts and take Mowa and another to build my team around.

Pebbles Lane (SG/SF) Will Robins (SF/SG) are other swingmen who will be available at around #13. There's also Kazuko Lee the PF and Alex Bradd the PF who may drop to around there too. Probably shouldn't think PG at all with Weasel and Smarts.

Also Ty, thanks for the faith in nominating me to pick for you, but I would advise against it.

I have no idea who is on what team apart from my own and because I'm not in the draft I haven't looked at the draft class beyond a cursory glance.

I'm not really qualified to help in this instance!

Pretty well, pick who you feel is most likely to be your starting line and 6th man.

The minutes choose whether you want to focus on starters or if want rotation (rotate the bench in). A team like Pitsberg thats deep would choose rotation and Hayseeds who are a family enviorment while a team like Waves last season who were focused on individual accolades and had a weak bench would choose to focus on starters. If you have a weak bench, focus on starters.

A team like the waves last season or the diamonds would focus on getting the ball to their key players who can score lots of points. A team like pitsberg or the wolves who rely on team play would play team ball.

Another thing to keep in mind is PR. Each player with a PR budget needs a tag line for their PRs. That will be the piece that promotes them. Its got to be original, makes them sound/look good, and is catchy. Usually a pun off their name or what distinguishes them. (Bolak Huir's was the whatever country he was, Ukrainian Wall and Redford\s Shack's is Shack-Pot to show how getting him from a trade was the winning piece of the gambling themed Aces.). Ones that have bombed were generic or just confusing ones. Keep it simple

Once your roster is filled you will need to lock in for the offseason.  This includes setting your lineup (or at least what you think it will be), which would be your starting five, 6th man (first player off the bench into the game) then 7th and 8th.  You will also need to decide if you want to play mostly starters or rotate your guys as well as do you want to have a team ball concept where everyone shares the rock, or do you want only a few players doing most of the shooting.

You can send any three of your players to training.  The categories are offense, defense, passing, rebounding, and conditioning.

Then if any of your players have PR money then you will need to come up with a PR campaign.

You will need to select a team captain.

Let me know if you need anything else.

The free agents thread cover some of the aspects of the lock-in for the offseason/training camp, but basically to plug in on your info once you get all 8 players:

Training

Pick 3 players, you can send them to one of these five specialized trainings:

Shooting, passing, defense, stamina/conditioning or rebounding

PR Campaigns

(Set your PR Campaigns with all the players you got PR on)

Line-Up

Starters

Minutes Strategy: Play mostly starters or rotation of players?

Caleb Toom -- Caleb "The Tower of Doom" Toom
Rolly Pounds -- There is no distance long enough for "Rolly Range"
Kolo Rolo -- "The Super Resistor"
Rik Kluff -- "The Wall of Holland"


Bamba Smalls: Smalls was a revelation last year. Loved his play. He was an assist machine. Every assist was like a victory in itself and as we know 'Small Victories win the War.'

Eddie Lights: Eddie was majestic in his performances as captain, taking us to the playoffs. He lit up the court and the faces of the fans. You've all heard of the Northern Lights but out in this conference everybody comes to see the 'Great Western Lights.' On game nights he twists, turns and sparkles like a natural phenomenon.

Redford Shack: Last year we advised you to put it all on Red and Shack didn't disappoint. The man is focused and is back again, bigger and better. With the arrival of new faces and a team of players designed to get the best out of the big man, the Western Conference is facing it's 'Red Dawn.' The age of Shack and the Aces has truly begun and a red revolution is sweeping the courts.




Dorlings all got great responses, Justin's (the first 5) all bombed.

Dorling thought his out, used his history and the history of the league, related them back to the team and their roles and contributions. Justin's seemed quick and thrown together. DOrling is going into the season full of momentum, Justin's team will take a bit longer to mesh
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on July 11, 2013, 05:55:56 PM
6th man = Your top player off of the bench.  Gets more minutes than other bench players.  Usually a guard, but not always.

Team ball = If you play team ball, then your offensive philosophy will be to distribute among all 5 players on the court.  Good for teams that have a solid starting 5, but no real scoring superstar(s)

Focus on a few = Opposite of team ball.  You have 1-3 awesome players, and they get a lot more of the offensive focus.

Rotational Policy = The bench players get a solid amount of in game time.  Conversely, your starters spend a little more time on the bench, thus keeping them fresher the longer the season goes, and reduces the chance of injury.

Play Mostly Starters = Opposite of Rotational Policy.  Just like it says.  The Starting 5 play most of the game, while the bench only comes in sporadically.  Better for teams that have a weak bench.  The cost is the fact that older players will fatigue as the season goes on, and the risk of injury increases.

I do tend to get good responses from my PR campaigns (never had a red one) most of the time (not to mention coming up with the Air Marshall tagline for Troy Marshall) so if you're having any trouble hit me up.

I think it would have worked, albeit with the Marshall in Air Marshall being different to the Martial in Court Martial. But it's a good pun and if you put a bit of blurb with it to justify your choice it usually goes down pretty well.

I'm pretty sure you can continue hunting now.  It seems as if Ian has been taking a well-deserved break and taking things slow while the draft creeps along, so just may take him a few days to respond.

I have a question/suggestion for Ian regarding scouting.

How big a part of the game should this/do you want this to be? The reason I ask is that to put a decent team together at the moment, you have to be like Hondo and I and have no money left over. I haven't been able to scout so therefore haven't been involved in the draft for 3 seasons now, and my coaches aren't highly paid.

Should scouting be cheaper maybe? It doesn't seem realistic that $1m can pay for a years worth of PR but it costs $1m to send a guy to a University to watch a couple of basketball games. $1m per player, and with the top picks wanting PR means that scouting has become nearly impossible for some, especially when coaches are now asking for up $9m like Vlad. I don't know what I'm going to do when my coaches contracts are up - Bunt is on $5m at the moment - we've had some successful seasons so he should/would want a raise, but I can't afford it. So would my punishment for success be that I have to either get a worse playing squad to accomodate his higher wages, or get a crappy coach?

Its not something I plan on changing in terms of scouting costs and what not the whole SCOUTING thing is probably more indepth than people realize, the 1 million is not just him going to scout the guy, but also other information as well that brings up your summary. That and if you sign that player ie draft him there is a bond formed there between AHC and player. PR is something I might look to up in a season or two, but as for now the rest stays where it is. It is a difficult balancing act, but then you and Jacko have choosen to not build your teams via the draft. The other guys have done. No team that has a drafting system stays on top forever in American sports. Its hard work.

Fair enough mate, makes sense to me. I'm hoping that GMs with a higher rep will be able to secure coaches on smaller contracts to ease my pain! Looking forward to commencement of the new season, Hondage and I have some fairly beastly looking teams assembled right now.

I like the playoff format, but I hate that we're only going to play inter-division teams.

Well, not hate, just wish I'd get a chance to play some of the other teams.   I like the idea of two games against each divisional rival, but I think if you stretched it out a little more and did an NFL type of format of:

- x2 vs. each division rival (5 x 2 = 10)
- 1 game vs each other conference team (6)
- 1 game against 3 opponents of each opposing conference's divisions (6)

That would give you 22 games (11 weeks vs the 10 we have this season).

So a mock schedule:

BANDITS:
Week 1
- Puerto Rico @ Baton Rouge (division) (1/10)
- Boston @ Baton Rouge (conference) (1/6)

Week 2
- Birmingham @ Baton Rouge (division) (2/10)
- Seattle @ Baton Rouge (non-conference) (North West 1/3)

Week 3
- Baton Rouge @ Tampa Bay (Division) (3/10)
- Baton Rouge @ Kentucky (conference) (2/6)

Week 4
- Baton Rouge @ Birmingham (division) (4/10)
- Baton Rouge @ Las Vegas (non-conference) (South West 1/3)

Week 5
- Texas @ Baton Rouge (division) (5/10)
- Portsmouth @ Baton Rouge (conference) (3/6)

Week 6
- Baton Rouge @ Puerto Rico (division 6/10)
- Wyoming @ Baton Rouge (non-conference) (North West 2/3)

Week 7
- Baton Rouge @ Mississippi (Division 7/10)
- Pittsburgh @ Baton Rouge (conference 4/6)

Week 8
- Tampa Bay @ Baton Rouge (Division 8/10)
- Baton Rouge @ Colorado (Non-Conference) (South West 2/3)

Week 9
- Birmingham @ Baton Rouge (Division 9/10)
- Baton Rouge @ Virginia (Conference 5/6)

Week 10
- Baton Rouge @ Providence (Conference 6/6)
- Baton Rouge @ Montana (Non Conference) (North West 3/3)

Week 11
- Baton Rouge @ Texas (Division 10/10)
- Hollywood @ Baton Rouge (non-conference) (South West 3/3)


-----

So with that line up you get a two year rotation (with the second season having the teams play the teams they didn't play against.





Just offering an idea that lets you play more than just 25% of the teams in the league.  For the non-playoff teams, you're only seeing 5 opponents a year, which out of a possible 23 opponents, that's a really low number.

I hear what your saying Talon, but that is slightly over complicated. A simpler model just eliminates one piece of your model.

2 games per team interdivision (10 games)
1 game per team in another division (rotates yearly) (6 games)

8 weeks (one shorter than current; accounts for expanded playoffs)
16 games (2 shorter than current)

I am happy with the changes made. It will allow me not to be overburdened with the popularity of the game as well as allow a natural expansion of the game in the future. If you guys want to continue playing this, don't wear me out is the message I think. I think it's also worth bearing in mind I don't get paid to do this, but it is becoming quite an activity for me in spare time. Therefore as to the point as this will sound. It's of no benefit to me personally to make their more and more games at this stage.

I think with Gun as his AC, he's going to develop well.

Gun scouted him (builds a connection).

They play the same position (or he did, prior moving to the AC spot)

and Gun is a C+ as an AC, so should be decent.

Ian said he's going to wait until all the other teams have locked in before making a call on it.

Worst case scenario I think we should get a new GM for his team. We have three people waiting to play as it is.

Best case scenario we auto-lock his team, but that doesn't help find solutions for his General News problems that will arise.

I really do hope the big lug is ok though.

Taking bets now, how long does TyTy last after compiling the worst team in the history of the league. He's going to try to fight through it and survive the season but, he's honest.

Grade wise, James' Spuds team:

D+, C, C-, C+. D+, C-, D, D

Two C+ coaches

TyTy's Bells team:

C, C-. D-, D, D, C, F, D+

Coach: D&C

Yep, officially the worst team ever. Fuck I suck, dont really need anyone to tell me either

BREAKING NEWS...FALLS BLACKBALLING ANTICS HIGHLIGHTS STRAINED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GMS AND AGENTS

Nigel Falls has publically come out to say he will not deal with GM Doming, Dorling, Cory or Jon in the near future as an under pressure Falls who has seen a flurry of big name players drop his agency puts down his foot once more.

"The agent is key in this process, I have no concerns about the future of Falls Inc."

Falls isnt the first agent to encounter problems with GMs. GM Death and GM Jen are famous for their feuds with Pete Sales and Rob Goldsmith respectively, it is also on the grapevine that new GM, GM Rob isn't well liked by Slim Cash or GM Steven isn't high on Pete Sales list either. Falls outburst follows rumours of GM Justin offering male exotic dancers to Spanish powerhouse team Madrd Majico as well as insulting Burt Hawk by trying to trade him a drafting spot in the FBL. The FBL continues to prove to be more sensitive than an erect nipple.

Personal prediction? I think it'll be what it was during Season 7. A few bits of man-to-man conversation between the two, GoGo possibly taking a week off or two (which will also put Byways in the coaching spotlight, making that story of whether he extends to Kentucky or wants a challenge somewhere else may play out), but all's well that ends well kind of deal.

Games have yet to be played, so he would go to the team before the season starts. It is up to the GM that takes him on whether he wants to deal with the possibility of messing up chemistry in order to get Champ. champ doesn't want to play there this season. He wants to be traded or he is out regardless.

Post by: Dorling on July 21, 2013, 04:00:37 PM
I think it depends how Ian feels - we've had seasons where you can trade after training camp and season where you can't. With the extra teams and stuff this year I'd be willing to be we're past trading now.

Is the whole season done at once, or each week is a round of games played, and that allows teams to make adjustments mid-season?

each week is a round of games played, and that allows teams to make adjustments mid-season?

This one.  After each week of games check the General News thread to see what happened in reference to your(and other)teams.  You'll have a press conference with several questions that allow you to respond to the General News for your team, among other things, and then be able to do things like talk to your coach, or your team doctor or players and make any adjustments to your lineup that you may need to make.

It breaks down like this.

We lock in.

Ian posts General News, which gives some insight as to what is going on around the league.

Threads unlock with a press conference. You answer the press conference. THEN WAIT for your Coach. Always talk to your coach before doing anything else. You will be punished if you don't.

Then you can take care of whatever you need to take care of. Lock in for the next week. Rinse and repeat.

No.  Steven is strapped for cash.  That's why he can't give Champ the money he wants now.

Alright here is a possible solution for the Puerto Rico and Roswell troubles.

Puerto Rico gets:
Champ Martin (Sign him to a $10 mil deal)
Cal Roberts ($10 mil)
Hans Fuhr ($3 Mil)

Roswell gets:
Caleb Toom ($10 mil) - May want more (Can increase him to $12 mil)
Kolo Rolo (8.5 mil)
Chris Perkins (4.5 Mil)

------

Here is why it works.

The trade is pretty much $23 mil for $23 mil, depending on Toom, really. I think a $2 million increase will satisfy him.

Roswell:
Make Captain Scotty Fletcher the Captain. Might as well get your money's worth.
Move Tees to PG.
Rolo SG.
Fletcher SF.
Bradd PF.
Toom C.

Puerto Rico:
Make Champ the Captain. Pay him the $10 mil you sort of offered him already.
PG Champ
SG Ferndale
SF Rogers
PF Kluff
C Roberts

After you answer press conferences, just wait for Ian to post in the thread. Unless you did something to piss off your coach or unless you've done so bad your owner appears... It will always be the Head Coach who responds after the press conference.

The NS report (finally got to listen to it) was great as always as far as content goes, but it seems like both of you were trying to be quiet, so it sounds really muffled for me, making it hard to get into it as much as past episodes. 

Might just be because you record late at night and dont want to be yelling, but it made some of the conversation really hard to hear and takes you out of the zone of "listening to the live show"


That being said, keep it up, definitely look forward to the next edition!

It was late and the file ended up going on mono - so, it at least got the sound on both ears, but the quality was left to be desired. Next recording, I'm getting TJ to help me walk thru some of the Audacity editing, etc, so I know how to at least get that part down. That + record at a decent hour.

I'm almost considering getting rid of Deuce and bringing in Brown as the assistant coach. I just don't know if he'd take it without a huge appreciation thing. His ego is really troubling.

as an assistant coach , he is no trouble ... been proven twice now

Your coach just ran off at the mouth about you being a pushover.  You can't let the inmates run the asylum... and your response was "meh, I'm not a clown."

Here's your chance to earn a little respect.  You're probably going to piss off Sunshine but that's how the cookie crumbles.

I was curious as well.


I'm guessing that he was offended that he didnt want to wait until next season to have him stop playing as much and coaching???


That's all I can figure, seems like the guy would refuse to retired (but refuse to re-sign in San Diego) if he really wanted to show he wasnt ready to stop playing.

The assumption here is that as a player-coach, Bomba would be relegated to bench duty on minimal minutes while mostly focusing on coaching. The "losing starting spot, because Jon fucked up the AC thing" is probably why he got aggravated.

It depends on how much he wants. I'm exactly at cap and exactly at PR money at the moment. I've added to Tim McDonald's wage for next season and I have some excellent cheap players that will be very hard to replace. Da, Bamba and Mission's combined wage is 6m, which is insane value.

You asked your assistant coach if the only F rated player in the game had any hope of being more then a 7th or 8th man.  What did you expect?

Chuckles Tree and Marcus Wear are graded F as well. But that is besides the point.

I had a feeling I was going to get the cold shoulder. That last part just made me go "time to cut my losses before I end up like Cory and have a Sui System Situation in hands." It makes me feel bad, because I destroyed a really decent core to reach for one big star that then went off the deep end.

You know that's going to be an inevitability when the expansion teams come out. If they came out week 1 guys would quit straight away to join them. Besides in my case, if you go back and take a look, my owner was going to fire me if I didn't make the play-offs... 2 games I scored only 50 points, I took a risk to join a good team that I think I can do well with.

BREAKING NEWS...COLONEL LOOKING AT OPTIONS IN GM SEAT

Strong rumours are emerging that the Colonel Buford Johnson III is looking at potential replacements for GM Powers as continued doubts arise in his ability to manage the team correctly. A source inside has said.

"GM Steven, GM Jon and GM Rebel are all high on the Colonel's list to take over from Powers..."

Powers 0-4 start and the reckless approach to trades and player movements has upset the fans and it seems the Colonel's patience is running very thin.

Hmm... there's two ways I would look at this. For one, yeah, he's like 80% was going to be fired soon anyways and so the chance to work for the last expansion team was too tempting to pass up. On the other hand, sticking it out and stuff

Conversations with you were quiet and kept out of the game because they took place in a private message.  So even if we did/could agree to a deal in principle I could put it on a back burner till the end of the season.  While talking to the Colonel might get me a better deal it would be out in the open the minute i suggested it.

I'd suggest downloading TEW05 first, its free and you can get a feel for it.

Then If you like it, buy the newer version.

I'm currently in 2014 with my WWE sim, at Extreme Rules. If you make the frequency of random happens higher, you get more lols. Like Khali and Eve became friends over a love of poker. Cody Rhodes broke up with Layla to go out with Tamina only to break up with her to go out with Alpha Female (This german gender equality chick)

I'm at the point of the season where my thoughts start about the season after (in ways that won't damage my team). I'm in a fortunate place where my record might give me an advantage in contract negotiations, and getting new guys in doesn't mean having to expansion guys as I have 2 retirements in Mission and Lights this year.

So it makes sense for me to see what I can get for how much.

Not about money big guy. I can guarantee wins with my team. I need someone to replace Eddie Lights, to be a star in Vegas. In fact, the big players like Griffin, Marshall etc would earn less playing for Vegas than anywhere else except maybe Kentucky. Players will take less money to play for a winning team.

You barely talk to any of your players and when you do, it's usually more than one at a time.  You should talk to at least one or two players each week, separately to check on them and what not.

He's your captain on the court B, not your coach. He can't speak for the other players. Again, have a gander at other threads, nobody leans on their captain for anything other than on court. You especially don't no sell your coach to talk to your captain instead.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on August 22, 2013, 12:04:47 PM
You have to build relationships with the coaches and players, I keep expecting good responses from my guys and alot of times I only get a "uh-huh" or "Ok"  but its because you have to earn the trust and respect of the team and coaching staff.


We have to put in a lot more work than we get back from the guys, but if you do it right and start putting it all together you get to the levels of relationships like The Waves, Blades, Stars, and Seeds have where you get your coaches and players to actually open up and talk and help with decisions etc.




Just my .02 on the matter though, I'm 1-3 so take it for what its worth.

I just don't get this entire game.  It's very put-offish for someone new to it that has no idea what to do.  If it wasn't for some of you guys sending me PMs in the beginning and helping, I'd probably be playing myself on the court right now.

But every week I would check in with Vlad and Greg.  At the first I was told that talking to multiple people distracts them.  Greg wouldn't answer.  Then all of the sudden they all hate me.  Now out of the blue Vlad is a "poison" to my team and might be jumping ship?  I don't get it.  So now I'm going to go in and try talking to them all, and mark my words that now they'll take that wrong somehow.

Worst comes to worst, you can apply for the Roswell gig.


On the bright side, you had one of the best coaches in the game come to you to work, bring an AC and two highly rated players. 


It'll even out, just gotta talk to folks, always address your general news story (just dont believe everything you read, IE the Lincoln Fraizer story with Montana) and manage the problems as they come.  You have to be the diplomatic general manager who doesnt ruffle his players or coaches feathers.  I keep trying my damnedest to get my coach to open up, but he hasnt yet, but Im still working at it.  Its definitely a process.

You're probably overthinking it mate. Just treat the players as individuals and convey to them that you care and you're golden. I know I didn't send you any advice by PM, but then none of the new guys ever ask me for advice! If you need assistance let me know. I know nothing about basketball and I've managed to get the best winning record somehow.

I can't recommend enough reading the threads of the most successful teams.

It's either you read other game threads to get a feel for it. Or you learn from growing pains. Ian isn't going to paint the yellow brick road for you to succeed in the game. How you play the game is up to you.

Not all at once dude.  Let the coach give his remarks after your press conference then talk to each player individually!!!!

I think he's lamenting that you just addressed the entire team.  I think guys have told you 4-5 times that you need to do it ONE at a time.


So I have to address ONE fucking player a week? 

I hate this fucking game.

1. You also address your coach first. Not doing so will back fire on you. Most recent example is in Kentucky this season.

2. You don't address the entire team like that. Now you can say "Let's gather the guys so I can address them all." And then sort of give them a speech so to speak and you might generate a few responses from some.

Just treat the players as individuals and convey to them that you care and you're golden.

I can't recommend enough reading the threads of the most successful teams.

I'm not sure that what you just did follows any of the advice there B.

Like I said, look at what we've done. You wait after your press conference to get your coach's feedback and address any issues with him. Then you pick up on your General News story if there is something that needs addressing. Then you speak to one, maybe two players per week unless you have a set agenda (renewing contracts, signing new players etc).

I try to speak to each player at least once during the first few weeks of the season, but then I'm lucky most of the time and haven't had any nasty General News to deal with in a while. Get to know them. One conversation can often be enough to see if you have a psycho in the ranks.

I don't think anybody has ever tried to speak to all 8 players at once unless addressing them as a team.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on August 22, 2013, 12:34:05 PM


Step 1: 
Read General News, Game Results, and your Press Questions


Step 2:
Answer questions


Step 3:
Wait for Coach to chime in with his remarks


Step 4:
Reply to your coach, ask him a question if you have one, or let him know you've got nothing for him right now and then ask to speak to a player. (recommend whichever is in your general news that week)
(OPTIONAL): Page Break down and address player to save time.


Step 5:
Wait for response from player, and continue discussion if required.


Step 6:
Dismiss player and bring in the next one, if you want to talk to him.


Continue steps 5 and 6 until you're satisfied with your results for the week.


Step 7:
Call the coaches back in and send in your lock in sheet.



Step 8:
Pray for a win

Treat the game like exagerated reality. Someone is talking to you, you answer. Find out what they want, what advice they have and stuff before moving on to talk to the next person. Treat them with respect but still establish boundaries and stuff.

Just adding something to the game, as its been discussed before.

NBA 2K14 comes out October 2nd, and by that time we MAY be close to Season 15 of the FBL. With shared rosters and what have you, I'll be getting the game and if anyone else on 360 plans on it, I'd like to know a little ahead of time if anyone else would be down for the cause.

I'll be picking it up for the same reasons.  Not sure when I'll have the extra money, with Madden 25 being my next purchase, but I'm definitely gonna pick the game up for my 360.

Oh well, I dont mind creating players either, Im sure 3-4 of us will be able to do it, its not like we'd need to make a full roster, we'd only need 8 guys per team.

Plus all the free agents and SL we could skip for the initial creation of the league. But I'd be able to capture for starters say the FBL Finals and give the footage to Ian to commentate over or something like that, and we could probably at some point look to expand, but I recall Ian being down for the Finals at least.


How good is the team creation? Can you import custom logos? Can you make the same jerseys
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

In 2k13 you couldnt import logos but they had a decent variety of jersey templates to choose from.

Quick question: How far (many teams/positions) is the FBL expanding this season?

Also,
And even if I do not get a position...I get NBA 2K's for 360 every year and the concept of that is pretty cool. Gotta get Gold tho.

4 teams were added this year. Calgary and Montreal came over from the SFL, and then Tempe and Greenville were added. Currently, there's 4 divisions with 6 teams each, so next season it will be 7 teams in each division. I believe there's still a few teams left without a GM, but I'm pretty sure that all the expansion teams already have GM's, so it would be one of the teams that one of the other guys left or got fired from.

Players on one year deals are technically unrestricted free agents for the following season. It's the team he's currently on job to sign him to a contract extension.

Word for the wise... try not to let players you want to keep get to their last year of their contract.

I wasn't just referring to Griffin though.  His negotiation with Marcelo too.  And basically all of his negotiations.  He doesn't counter very many offers.

Just like he jacked up salaries with the Swoop McCarthy debacle, he has done it again with this signing.  Say goodbye to the extra $5 million in cap boys.....

You say that line it's a good thing, BD, but you must not pay attention to your General News because it clearly states you still have a problem. You're raise of Griffin effects your ability to puta good team around him, which you can't do because now even the crap players are going to want more money than they are worth.  You were just worried about one player being happy without thinking about what that is going to mean in the long run for you.

It's your team, and I understand you can care less what the rest of the league or gm's think of you, but maybe you need to understand that all that glitters isn't gold and one player does nota team make.  Your team lost by one point to the Toppers and I ended up beinga man down and Ronko is on his last leg...so you don't have all the pieces of the puzzle yet. Don't kid yourself.

I am pretty adament we have to stay where we are, given the deal for Mason Griffin, Shakers has a unique big man quality which would demand 16.3 million a season for 3 years. We are happy to stay with 2 million PR as there is a marketable quality to Shakers given his charisma, off court style and family name...

All a part of the game itself. Besides, if BD wasn't the one to do it, somebody else woulda signed a top caliber player to a ridiculous contract that would spike up these costs in the first place.

Just to clarify,  I'm not pissed at BD, or angry about what happened. I'm just giving my ooc opinion on a situation that effects not only the game itself but BD's team as a whole. I'm here to play the game and try and figure out a way to have a successful team that can win championships. I'm going to do that regardless of what happens on someone else's team, and like Strike said it has happened before and will more than likely happen again. Some of us will hold our team together, while others jump ship because they can't figure out how to make things work. It's the nature of the game, but if I have an opinion on it I'm going to give it.

This is what has confused me really, as compared to the rest of the league, I am middle of the pack. Owner wanted the team to get to the playoffs (which is as far as the team has ever been in it's past) and win or lose against Wyoming we're still in with a good shot of making the playoffs. I didn't handle the Lincoln thing particularly well, but it's not like he is demanding a move or anything drastic. And the Lucic move, I'd hope would've been knocked down by coach and player if it didn't have a chance of paying off, I had the option of Carty getting mauled or Lucic playing out of position. It was worth a shot. But like someone said earlier, it's probably just names being thrown in there. Or at least I hope it is, got big plans for the team! Haha.

Franchise,  you're not sitting someone,  you're cutting them from the team.

Find someone that you can cut that went hurt you that much. You don't want to cut someone your going to have to paya lot of money to.

He has two options...

1.) Cut Sunshine Stream. Pay $6 million in salary cap and $2 million in PR next season. Plus his $4 million PR penalty for going over budget.

2.) Cut Chuckles Tree and fire Phil Bull. Pay 500k in salary cap and $3.5 million in PR next season for firing Bull. Plus his $4 million PR penalty for going over budget.

I moved out of my old place yesterday and move in new place on Friday. Earliest I get internet is on 11th. I'm at a friends house for now but just no reliable net and being super busy.

That's half the story though. There's more I'm keeping quiet. I've been having crippling back pain for a long time now . My message therapist is  helping me just to walk. A little while back he found that my spine is distorting because of a growth on my spine. Doctor determined it is neither  tumour nor cancerous but needs to come out. I'm scheduled for surgery here next week. If all goes well, I'll be recovered really quickly. If not,, or this thing is actually growing out of my spine and not on it,i have no clue.

I guess what I'm saying is if I'm disappeared for a long time. Don't worry, I'll be sore but fine.

You're gonna have quite a few draft picks next season man so they're ideal to re-build with. Bael Giankopolis is going to be a Diamond for life!

Ideal way to start out. As for Bael...wouldn't have it any other way!

There is no war to be had here...they don't belong to the super league any more.

SL usually has played their seasons after the FBL season finishes, but they're all basically committed to finish their final seasons there before the move officially happens.

You can look at the end of season team sheets from each team that post at the same time though.

Each team gets a final sheet, as well as each super league team.

That will give you stats,  you can look at the pre-season sheets for the FBL teams to see this current seasons grade.

True, except those players have been placed into the expansion draft unprotected, so we can't approach them as we have done the players currently out of contract on FBL teams.

I don't think you understand the question. Your answer reads as if you think he's saying that the Canadian teams are coming in with their rosters intact. The question is, are the former players on this teams fair game for anyone to pick up, or are they reserved for the expansion draft?

To clarify, for me...

Is Troy Marshall currently playing in Spain, while his agent signs him with Seattle for next year, and Seattle looks to trade him?


OR is Troy Marshall sitting in Utah right now, at his home, waiting to play this off season in Spain, while being signed to Seattle etc etc....



OR, has Troy blown off playing in the Super League, since he's playing for Seattle next year, who is actively looking to move him?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on August 27, 2013, 05:23:59 PM
Not sure if there is going to be another Super League season before the draft. But if there is, Marshall will play in that then join the FBL, either for Seattle or whoever he is traded to.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on August 27, 2013, 05:40:52 PM
I know he'll join after the draft, I just wanted to know if anyone knew for my mental timeline's sake, if he's already played out his season with the super league or if it was in progress, etc.


Its no big deal, I'll just make up my own time line and roll with it.  I always assumed the super league was paralleling FBL and ran their season at the same time.

The way Ian's played it in the past suggests that the Super League season takes place during the FBL off season, being that it's a much smaller league with so few games, that's why I say I don't know if another super league season will take place before the draft (and after regular season end).

So, i was thinking and the comparison was brought up how the FBL works sorta like soccer (football for you non-american bastards <3) in terms of the contracts.

Now, I don't know enough to be sure of it, but doesn't soccer have a transfer window that's open for a bit of the season and closed for the rest? Now with only 10 games it doesn't make sense for that, but I think with a 20+ schedule next season, that maybe a transfer window is feasible? I mean something along the lines of from weeks 8 to 14 (or close to midseason for the SL) you can sign one year players, after that no more and then you go into free agency, there's some fun offseason bidding wars

Maybe I'm over-complicating the FBL, making it tougher on Trumps but I'm just throwing ideas out there (mainly because this player stealing just annoys me and the part I love about sports is the personal part of it)

Also, for people getting 2K, if we don't do a FBL type thing, we can do an online league with the NBA teams either way, which would be cool

Transfer window only applies to transfers - offering money for a player still under contract and buying them. Due to a rule called the Bosman ruling, players whose contracts are running out can negotiate with new teams - 3 months before contract expiry with teams in the same country and 6 months before contract expiry with teams based in other countries.

In this example trades=transfers, and we already have a trade window (the offseason).

What makes the FBL so unique is that it's not your typical sports game.  If half the stuff that goes on in the FBL went on in the NBA then there would be a shit ton of lifetime bans.  The signing players on other teams who is in a contract year is one of the quirks of the game and forces you to be forward thinking about your team.  This is really a simple game with a few oddities thrown in.  No need to make it complicated.

The one thing I'll say I don't like, even if you keep a player happy, and you do all the right stuff, and offer them a better contract, you could still lose them for no reason at all. Or, that you could lose them before even getting to do a counter offer. Especially when it comes to Dorling, because the majority of us are asleep when he's making his damn deals, but that doesn't get taken into affect sometimes.

No need to single me out! Unfortunately/fortunately depending on how you look at it, I've put myself in a position where I have a good rep so most players would like to play for my team should they get the chance. Also I think Powers is the only person that's lost someone to me that is in a different timezone.

There have been several occasions where the game has progressed without me, Ian is often awake at crazy times compared to me.

All right, here it is folks. Every single thing that is wrong with this "game". That's right, I'm gonna lay it all out here for each and every one of you. It will shake this so called game to it's foundations. Are you ready? Are you ready for my comprehensive 72 point complaint? Because if you're ready, I'll lay it out? What's that? You're not ready? Oh... well then, I suppose I'll just wait and say that this game is awesome.


Okay, seriously though, the game is awesome. I think it's just natural competitiveness that leads to the occasional complaint or gripe or something like that. It's a game, but we all want to win and get that championship. Most of the time though, it's just a simple "son of a bitch" moment, we vent, and then we move on. No harm, no foul with something like that, right?

Aye but its nit picky when I am doing this in my spare time. If you could see how I try and pull this all together and the information I go through to make it work then you would probably see why comments of a nit picky nature dont sit well with me. I am not paid to do this mate, I do it to add a fun element to EFK. If I was being paid 50k a year then I feel there is a right to be critical about aspects of the game.

The All Star selection thing seems ripe for someone to have fun with it.  Select only his team, saying everyone else is irrelevant.  Picking the worst players (Marcus Wear, Chuckles Tree) for the lulz.

You stole my line that I stole from Franchise!
Quote from: GM Franchise on August 28, 2013, 07:41:09 PM
Don't even get me started on how overused that line became...


So, Franchise is pissy about a line that was stolen by Hondo, which was borrowed by me, that he probably didn't even know he (over)used?


























































It'll be interesting to see what happens.

I believe the original post Ian made was in regards to people who were just locking in with 'same as last week.'

I've always only listed 6, that's all I'm saying. Back in Virgina, all the way through to now. If it's a problem now it should have been a problem then too. Just a tad frustrating for it to suddenly trip me up 4 seasons down the line.

QuoteHere are a few key PR numbers to remember before you get into this:

1 million PR - cost of an indepth college player analysis and assistant coaches verdict on fit within team.

250k - cost of scouting a player on a team you have formed a relationship with. You must cite your relationship with said team when doing so.

500k - Retire a jersey

Thank you to Justin for the generous FBL donation through paypal. Much appreciated mate.

Much deserved man.

I think Rolo should get some serious consideration for MVP as well.  Obviously his offensive statistics aren't there, but the man is simply a beast on defense and single handedly shuts teams down by stopping their best scorer.

I was impressed with Cunningham for not wanting more than 20.5

I think you signed him at the right time, if you waited too long he'd be wanting 22 or so once the other dominoes start to fall.

Post by: Sgt. Josh Underpants on August 30, 2013, 12:26:18 PM
That was the plan, figured if I signed him after the All Star break price would go up.

I fully expected to pay him more than Griffin was being paid, just didn't expect it to be that fair of a deal.  he's definitely worth it

Fair point.  They both are holding their respective opponents to 6.4 points per game. 

Mutu's Case:
He's stopped two players from scoring, albeit against the two worst teams in the conference.

Rolo's Case:
Hasn't allowed a double digit scorer, and has held two of the best scorers in the league, Damore and McCool to 9 and 7 points respectively.

Both should get DPoY and MVP consideration in my opinion.

I 100% agree with the DPOY stuff, but I'm still not sold on them as MVP's. Their offensive production just isn't high enough, IMO. Not saying that they're not tremendous players, hell, I'd love to have either one of them on my team, but, I just don't see them as MVP's. To me, an MVP should be a player who excels at all aspects of the game or is at least completely dominant in 2 to 3 aspects of the game. Plus, scoring will almost always win out over defense, especially when it comes to things like MVP awards.

Even I don't think Mutu should get MVP nods.  But I remember last year Justin and Cory talking about Mutu's game being a 1 game thing when it came to shutting down Reggie Jones or Troy Marshall.  Now Justin is using Mutu to elevate Kolo Rolo who won't even be on his team next year.  Brings a smile to my face.

It's all about who puts up more points. So, if you've got a guy who is great offensively and good defensively, it's better than a guy who's great defensively and only okay offensively. Not saying that defense isn't important, but I had to learn the hard way that it takes both offense and defense to win a championship. Mutu and Rolo are both tremendous players, and they bring a great defensive presence to whatever team they're on, but, if they don't have other people on the team that can score, 9 times out of 10, they'll end up losing. In my opinion, an MVP is someone who is great on both sides of the ball.

I lived by that, and it got me knocked out of the playoffs in the 1st round, 2 years in a row, and then not even making the playoffs in the 3rd year. Defense is an important part of the game, and certainly having a player like Mutu or Rolo is gonna be a huge help to the team. I'm just saying that I don't see those guys as MVP's. A big part of being a dominant defensive player, is actually being able to put the ball in the hoop. You look at the guys who have won MVP awards in the NBA, they were guys that put everything together. Scoring, rebounding, blocking, steals, these are the skills that an MVP needs.

You had a better team over all with the MVP Scott Cunningham and Bobby Chang.  That's why your team went farther than my team. But look at what players average when they dont face Mutu versus what they do. That's how you measure the man's defense

Josh's beginning of the season has proven that a killer offense doesn't make a team, you need the defense. Apollo was my defense. He was the bet defensive player in the league last year and he didn't get the credit for it, well that's a shame. For me, it doesn't count for shit if Mutu was putting great stats up against teams like Boston and Birmingham last season because, well... Which team wasn't? It's really hard to compare because Apollo went on to the play-offs and played against much better teams for a 3rd time.

It is, but a player that is on a one year deal and gets stolen from your team... is more or less a free agent for S14. If you don't resign him and nobody steals him, he goes into the expansion draft (if there is one) or into the free agent pool.

You have to think of it in terms of how many players you can protect, not how many players to 'have to' leave unprotected.

You can protect up to 6 players. That's all you have to worry about. 6 players you want to keep - you don't want to keep Lucic, therefore don't protect him. That means there's a maximum of one other player you can't protect.

Dom got bashed for not picking a captain too.

I think the Pebbles thing is because the All Star match is for the top of the top, the real great players of the league. When players like Griffin, Bishop, Lights, Frazier and Richards etc are missed out and rookies go over them, it raises eyebrows.

See, I went for team chemistry with 2 of his team mates picked. I guess it doesn't really count, you just have to pick the guys who have the best ratings for All-Star. But when you do that for your team...

Rob picks McCool as the point? Mutu and Pebbles, but swaps their positions???? and picks Washington Owens? CRAZY! No Creed Jackson or Leon Dreams... or Kolo Rolo...

And I laughed so hard that Dom made Shack a PF to avoid Nigel Falls players. So players like Drummond, Cunningham, Griffin are left out. I was sad panda face that Matt Foster didn't make it... but understood he had to go with his guy.

The fallout from all of this is going to be amusing to see. Nigel's going to go on the rampage and a few players might take out their frustration of not being on the team against the Toppers when they play them, i.e. being motivating and putting up monster stat lines.

The mistake you made was starting him at his unnatural SF position. It looks like you just looked at last weeks line up from my team which is where I tried that experiment and it failed. Every other week Lane was a SG and Mutu the SF. It's the snake mistake Dom made by making Shack the PF

Don't remember ever picking a captain for the all stars, so this was an interesting twist. As far as people left off, everyone knows we're limited to 8 players and not everyone can make the team. Every season someone gets butt hurt about being left off the roster, and I can honestly say I'd rather it be someone not on my team that gets upset. I could care less if Shack gets upset about being placed in the PF roster spot. His comments in general news claim he won't be giving his all, then fine. Before I lock in for the week I'll make sure to tell Coach Black to move him to the bench and promote Dallas to the starter and let Shack grumble, bitch, and moan with no minutes. Like I said, he isn't on my team and I can care less if he wants to be an ass about it. He should be glad he even made it on the team, because he almost didn't. I had planned to not pick any Vegas players either since I was grabbing Dallas and Ty...I actually was going to put Foster in.

I like the West Roster, I thought you might find room for Cunningham, but from the IC side, I would have left him off just for being a little bitch in the pre-season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on September 01, 2013, 11:07:38 PM
Just not sure completely leaving out Nigel Falls players for the sake of them being Nigel Falls players was in your best interest. But other then a few things you were forced to do because of that... not a bad team.... unlike the East team picked by Fogazzi.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Franchise on September 01, 2013, 11:16:33 PM
The West overall has a better team at least in my opinion although the East could win because of Shack being pissy about being put in the wrong position. He might tank it on purpose as a response to that to stick it to GM Domingo because of what happened.

Cheers guys. Starting to sink in now that if I do this, in 4 years time I'll be able to be in charge of something that weighs 37,000 tonnes. And has guns on.

Which would be awesome.

If its not a top ten pick, then better for me.  I also have Seattle's first round pick, and my own second. 

I traded back last season, its something I like to do. I wanted to trade out of the 3rd pick last year, just couldn't find make a deal with Justin or Franchise.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

I got to take three of my best players, have an A coach, and a ridiculous amount of draft picks and some wiggle room under the cap for the immediate future.  I never really recovered from the "Great Wall" defense I built in Anchorage cap wise.  I had to hemorrhage draft picks for cap relief and there wasn't really any moves in the future.  Anchorage needed at least three roster additions with minimal cap.  Hallmark was my "all-in" move and it backfired.

I now have multiple first round picks to fill out a pretty solid roster - and I don't need superstars.  Just need guys who will develop and be consistent. 

I thought it was a good move for me.

Talon has an exclusive set of skills.  Skills that he's acquired over a long and vast career.  If you back away from this team he won't hurt you.  But if you continue with your course of action.  He will find you.  He will kill you.

Not this time. Week 5 with the Mazuka contract extension was the root cause of my undoing. Even if I had hired Simpson/Rodick for 1 year contracts I was likely going to be canned because of losing Stream due to the league penalty. The loss of Stream because of the fine was huge and ended up being a major reason for my problems.

That was the same thing I was thinking. Birmingham's got some first rounders next season plus Marx and Findi so they should be in good shape. Didn't notice if Joey was protected or not. I think he was omitted from the list on accident in the Protected/Unprotected thread.

I look forward to where this latest flub takes me, hopefully not to the unemployment line. It was an honest mistake, but apparently only one I could make; I was wondering why no one else was asked something similar though...

This is line immaterial. He didn't score 20 the last time they played and only scored 20 or more 2x this season against Boston and Providence.

Yeah, that's why I was wary of signing him in the first place. I might have to take the issue to Commissioner Trumps on the basis Nest has had this history.

If he walks out on you (quits), you can sign a new Head Coach.

You don't need to contact Commissioner Trumps.

Now if you fired him for a potentially legit reason... like him walking out on you. Then you could contact Trumps to see if the firing PR penalty can be waived.

Honest to goodness truth? I didn't even realize my mistake until after Coach made the comment of "did you even look at the team sheet you sent me?" I looked at it again, and realized I goofed. So yeah, that's why my response in the press conference was how it was.

Talon to Birmingham, Arkia to Anchorage, TyTy and Franchise to the unemployment line.

Looks that way.

Could be Talon going to Anchorage and Arkia getting Birmingham, but I don't see TyTy or Franchise getting the job over either of those two. All though, Talon didn't have the greatest season, and one of them could opt to go with the experience of TyTy.

Not even sure Talon wants a job right now but if he did ... Talon screwed up on trading a great player who was related to his coach .... TyTy just built the worst team ever.  No offense Ty.

*Ahem*

Back when I came into the league, I was advocating for Ian to NOT fire you, because I didn't want to take the Spuds from you.  He did it anyway.

Where's my love brah?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ty on September 11, 2013, 10:54:28 PM
Talon, by accepting another team, it would help the game a lot more than by rolling over and letting James play because he is super committed. There are perhaps a hundred things James could do to either relieve some pressure from Ian (graphics and jerseys and the like) or add an extra layer of depth to the game (his articles, a version of inside the FBL, stats). He does have a knowledge of the game second to none but perhaps Ian (James seems to remember EVERYTHING).

You and Fisk however may just be best served to strengthen the game by being reliable, consistent GMs.

If I don't get a team, who knows, I might just try to get permission to add further depth to the league (something I enjoy doing). Whether that could be creating what could be the FHL (or FFL that Ricky Hallmark used to play for), creating a bit of Scientology depth or even collecting and creating histories of each individual player (maybe Id leave that to James), we can each contribute despite perhaps not all having teams.

OK Rob, you opened this gate. The blood is on your hands.


A guy is seeing his psychiatrist one day, and he's telling him, "Doc, you'll never believe the dreams I kept having last night! One minute, I dreamed I was was teepee, then I was a wigwam. First a teepee, then a wigwam! Teepee! Wigwam! Teepee! Wigwam! Over and over again!"

The psychiatrist looks up from his notepad and says "It's easy to see your problem. You're too tense (two tents)."

Id personally let him go to expansion. He's untradible with his contract, he's not gonna make or break you team. Get out of it while you can and rebuild.

He's coming off as a cancer, and hes not THAT good that you can disregard the rest of your teams.

Donno about your trades but looking at your roster:

PG- Smarts - Not a bad PG by any means, decent contract.
SG - Draft.
SF-  Juiama - Solid SF, C grade for a young player, he will develop.
PF/C - Boldeer another solid starter.
C - Mowa - A potential star here.

Bench guys - Aside from who you drop, solid bench. C rated guys all around with nothing outrageously expensive. Drop Sparky and Griffin and you'd have all the tools to rebuild, rather than try and suit an overpaid locker room cancer.

...just my two cents.

Mason a Franchise player, if I drop him into expansion... owner takes my head .  His selfish play comes from frustration  do to team underachieving... best move for me  because I have built credit with him his to call him on it.  explain to him that not what being a leader is about and  he better than that.  his numbers before these  two weeks were that of guy leading a team , now not so much ... his reaction to this  will determine how act after that

Griffen: Yo maybe we should go out on a date?


Fisk: "Well I just wanted to make sure you liked it but...ok. How about this...we come out with 2 wins this week, you get a date. A very personal, secluded date. Trust me, I'll make it worth your while. *innocent smile*"

Griffen: Yo that's kinda weird.....

Fisk: "What's weird about it? Do you honestly think we can be out in the open just frolicking around like two normal kids at the park or something? If we even were to date it would have to be completely hushed. The press and FBL would have a field day with something like this. Look, I'm attracted to you but at the same time our positions are obvious...I was just trying to make a friendly little wager to make things interesting. I was planning on going for the date either way. Come on Mason, it was just a joke. I didn't mean to bother you. But I don't want you to lose sight of our professions or the fact that even talking like this could get me fired. If we're winning, everyone's happy and no one is noticing the fact that we are trying to get to know each other...you get what I'm saying? I see something in you Mason...or else I wouldn't even be willing to risk it. Can you stay focused on the court so that we can have that opportunity?"

Griffen: I'm outta here boss

You could always try to sex him up. I mean, you thats what you've been grooming him for right? Why else spend 20m on him?

For what its worth to potential incoming GMs, I might not play next season.  Things have been kinda rough and I'vr barely had any time to be online, more or less popping on just to update my thread and make a post or two around the forums and then bailing for the majority of the day.  Basically if there are more GMs than teams I wouldn't mind being odd-man-out.

I would honestly say that you should hold off until next season. Sit out for a season, let your rep recover a little, and then come back ready to work hard. There's bound to be at least one open job, either from someone getting fired or someone leaving.

Josh will still get Cunningham and Chang and offload Majors and some draft picks to get that. Ty Williams I forgot alongside Holmes/Hogan have gone with Reb to Baton Rouge. Thomas went to Anchorage so Josh still gets three perinal players for next season.

Im probably the only lucky one.....none of my guys ever demand for pay raises, and no one is overpaid (MAYBE Blue Reed, but for the going rate of big men, his price is fair). Just got to get a group of level headed players, and avoid Nigel Falls at all costs.

Don't worry...Leighton is coming after the cash in the offseason.

Does anyone know off hand how the match ups work after the divisional round of the playoffs?

For example:

WEST NORTH: 1. Anchorage 2. Seattle 3. Bismarck 4. Montana
WEST SOUTH: 1. Las Vegas 2. San Diego 3. Hollywood 4. Honolulu

Say the top 2 teams each win in the divisional round.

Would it then be Las Vegas/San Diego & Seattle/Anchorage in the Conference Semi-Finals?

Or would it be mixed like Las Vegas/Seattle & Anchorage/San Diego?

If they finish in that order I believe it's 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 within the same division, so Vegas v Honolulu.

I know that...

But after the divisional round of the playoffs.

Does the highest South Seed face the lowest North Seed and vice versa or does the matchups stay in the division?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on October 03, 2013, 03:22:33 PM
Stay in the same I believe. Then you get a divisional champ, conference champ and FBL champ.

I'm pretty sure the match ups stay in the division, and then the final game would be the team that wins the East against the team that wins the North. Using your stuff, it would go like this.

WEST NORTH: 1. Anchorage 2. Seattle 3. Bismarck 4. Montana
WEST SOUTH: 1. Las Vegas 2. San Diego 3. Hollywood 4. Honolulu

Anchorage Vs. Montana
Seattle Vs. Bismarck
Las Vegas Vs. Honolulu
San Diego Vs. Hollywood

Then, the next round would be like this (Note, I just randomly chose a winner)

Montana Vs. Seattle
Las Vegas Vs. Hollywood

Finals would then be (Again, chose the winners randomly)

Seattle Vs. Las Vegas

Because offseason you can still make moves.  Once the season starts you can no longer make changes to the player's contract unless you are adding to it.

Bonehead move.

Such is why I always have at least two but usually four little spreadsheets of my team's salary. I keep tabs on what we currently have, what we've spent, what we'll look like next season, and sometimes hypotheticals too, normally when I'm trying to work out if I can afford another player.

Says who? I forget who it was, but they made an in season adjustment to someone's contract because they made an accounting error.

But just because it has happened in the past doesn't mean I'll be able to make it work. I have a good relationship with Cam, so that helps, but in the end, it's up to Gary Scott.

I did my contract adjustment before the season started - the draft hadn't even finished - only reason I had locked in is because I was about 2 weeks ahead of everyone, so I had time to correct everything. Nobody that has overspent mid season has got away with it as far as I can remember.

This is correct. Any trading cannot happen until the season is over and the GMless team has a GM. Since the season is not finished yet the trade hasn't gone through.

Quote from: Cory on October 04, 2013, 06:33:19 PM
That trade is awful one sided. If Alex coulda got a 1st rounder it woulda been fair-er, but damn Hondo...congrats.

I agree with this especially considering that Malone is the best player on the Jags roster that is being retained.

Our team is like this city and Clint said it best...gritty...but something changed the last year when we added flair to this team, a flair that the Blades fans have never seen before here and a flair which saw us dominate the individual honours this season, but right now its not about individuals its about a team. GM Shields was famous here for putting the grit into Pittsburgh, but he is the type of man now who would come here and probably want to have sex with our wives he is that horrible. Luckily, we went across and smuggled ourselves the GM with more spice than a hot salsa dip and he has brought us back to the playoffs. We have the team, we have the motivation and we have the thing which makes Pittsburgh so great...a cutting edge...over to you GM Libre...

So here's the rejected parts of my pre-game speech...mostly out of fear of incurring the wraith of Ian....

Quote'Let's face some facts right now, while I'm not the type of guy who rides success that is three decades old now, I am the type of guy who looks towards the future. A future that hopefully will contain less gopher sightings on the back nine. Hopefully...

A future that will put a lasting legacy here in Honolulu. I continue to stress that this is only the beginning. I'm sure the critics have us losing in spectacular fashion. There's even one critic who suggests that Shack might straight up murder someone tonight. Now...It won't be me, I'll be tucked safe away in the owner's box. But for everyone else... I mean at the very least if he does commit a crime we would win by default. So we should be prepared to do anything to win. Now I'm not suggesting you martyr your life for the cause or anything...but yes I'm suggesting that very thing. Winning fixes everything. Remember that.

I said this in the press conference. With the exception of a potential Shack capital crime, this is not the end. This is the beginning of something very special in Honolulu. We will commit ourselves to a grand revolution in the FBL. And that will start tonight. Look to this man standing next to me. Your Coach. He is here to fuel you on the blood of the gophers who have infected him with a rare disease. I'm sorry to report that after this game we will have to put down Coach Chart. I have been informed that the gopher that attacked him had a rare form of rabies. The first symptoms have already taken effect. Victims of this disease become insufferable to the point of foaming at the mouth. He will soon turn into a steroid induced gopher. Let's have a moment of silence for the late Coach... So if this is the last basketball game that at least two of you will ever be a part of, there's no better way to go out than with a win! Win at all costs my friends.'

Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on October 05, 2013, 10:24:43 AM
Just a note to all active GMs still in the game (ie ones not starting a fresh in Season 14) please let me know of any scouting you want to do in the future deal thread and it would also be helpful to know your '6 protections' you must protect players involved in trades that have been future dealed. There is a specific thread for the protections so please follow that format. It will make it easier for me going forward. I have already started working on half the major document for Season 14 which I run in conjunction with teams locking in for the rest of the season, so I want to make it as fluid as possible. Cheers for your help in advance.

I have contacted both Steven and B about their involvement for next season to make sure they want to play. If they dont we might need two more. We also have a vacancy at San Diego as well.

BREAKING NEWS...HAYES NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH SEASON DISPLAY

There seems a couple of hot seats in the FBL right now, with the departed GM Death of Wyoming and the debate over GM Jon in San Diego, Virgil Hayes has put GM Stoner in the questionable category after what he feels was a supbar season despite the team making the playoffs. Hayes said.

"We obviously brought in GM Stoner to act on a level of discpline here in Virginia and we hoped he would be able to do that, but the 5-5 record is something I would have thought we could do better, we are use to winning here..."

The fans of Virginia have seemingly never truly got over the GM Dorling era which bore the 'Pillars' in Ricky Hallmark, Clint Danberry and Scott Fletcher. Virginia also seem to have made some bold cash decisions of new contracts with Hallmark set to return next season on a big deal, Jackson and Dreams also signed mega deals as well. The 60 million cap budget to be introduced next season has given some room for teams to put together big and expensive squads, but for GM Stoner, time might be already running out for a fanbase and owner that demand near perfection.

Frazier - 2 yr - $10mil - $2.5mil PR
Dallas - 2 yr - $9mil
Morgason - 1 yr - $1mil
Sunshine - 3yr - $7.5mil

First round draft pick, two second rounders, Montana & Roswell. Also the Montana second rounder will switch position in the draft with Anchorages as per the Chachenko trade.

You can PM stuff, but if you agree to trade player A for player B with Hondo, for example, it can't happen or be future dealed until you take over. Which means if in the meantime I speak to your owner and make my own trade with them for player A...too bad.

Dorling
Bone

Domingo
Hondo
Shields
Pancho
Stoner
Justin
Cory

When I asked the question I meant never allowed their teams to end a season auto locked.

I think it might just be me, Hondo, Justin and Blade.

"He lit San Diego up for 19 points and gained another 14 assists... that's 33 points direct from his hand"

14 assists = 28-42 points from those assists

28+19=47

42+19=61

Not sure where you come up with 33 points.

47-61 points came directly from his hand.

But this is only coming from the GM who made a mathematical error, you know? >_>

Letter no need now but it was gonna be my pitch
Quote

I have always wanted to win at all costs. That has been my problem, I wanted to see instant wins. I employed a high risk high reward method that was foolish in hindsight.

I was my own worst enemy.

As things exploded around me in boston this previous season, life hit a rock low for me. I am truly hated. I went back to my fhl roots and spent some time being mentored by the man who first taught me to be a leader and I realized that instead of distancing myself from my past, I have to face it.

Half a year of repeatedly watching myself fail, mapping out burnt bridges and doing what ifs in my head. I realize that everything has been my fault.

When the fhl lockout happened all those years ago and I came to the fbl, Roswell was impressed enough to hire me. I know the gm they saw is still in me. I have eliminated the greed and glory and have learned humility.

Passion

Patience

Redemption

That is what I offer you.

I won't be making power trades, I will be protecting assets. I will build not create.

I can redeem myself to the fbl, will you give me the chance.

Welcome to San Diego TyTy...

The more I've been thinking about it... the more I think I should have stayed and taken whatever coarse of action happened next. Instead I took the easy road out... something I somehow talked myself in taking.

What's done is done though. Hopefully Wyoming is my last move for at least 5 seasons, lol.

San Diego only expansioned James Storm and Bonba Elbomu (Who retired)

Those of us that aren't in the draft at all, can I just go straight into free agent talks immediately after the expansion draft?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Dorling on October 10, 2013, 12:24:12 PM
That's usually the case Rob, though I fear slim pickings (I'm not in the draft either). There's a big draft class this year and they're not all going to get signed, there could be a gem in there somewhere - but they won't be available until after the draft is complete.

TyTy you will need to trade Griffin or Reed though.

Drake/Griffin/Reed is 51.75 million out of the 60 you have.

Add Juiama's 3, Porters 3.5, Lazco 3.5, and Boldeer's 5.5

You are currently at 67.25.

Ty needs to hire a mathematician to sort out that mess, lol.  :P

I didn't even think about it. I hired him because I needed an assistant and the pool was very thin, and then I completely forgot about him for the rest of the season. Plus, I did try to get Larry Stevens to come on board as the assistant coach.

Maybe my other option, if I can't get a decent value for Griffen, is to trade Reed away. I have 7 signed apparently, If I get two 5m players near the C level, that might work perfect for me.

My gut is leaning no on this. Why is my gut saying no>

Good press conference Jen. Genuinely excited for our playoff series, could go either way. I know I give you a hard time 'in character' so to speak (I guess I do that to everyone when I get the chance) but good luck!

No harm done man, it's all in good fun, and it's not like I never shoot on you either.  ;)

Birmingham, Baton Rouge, & San Diego - $4 Million PR Fines for exceeding budget for S14.

Pittsburgh - $1.5 Million PR Fine for Robbie Wright

BREAKING NEWS...WILL DRAKE HAVE TO SIT PLAYOFFS DUE TO OVERSIGHT WITH FINANCES

Rumours are all over the place that San Diego might well have overshot their PR budget for Season 13 after spending 3 million on scouting. A chief financial officer noted.

"Books indicate to me

- 3 million PR on Cam Drake
- 2 million on Jimmy Simpson contract termination
- 0.2 million on celebrations of the career of Bonba Elbomu
- 3 million on college scouting
- 6 million on George Lane's contract
- 1.3 million on Norman Speck's contract

..."

That would put San Diego 0.5 million over the PR budget for the season and Drake being the only person who has PR would be forced to sit the playoffs. San Diego would also incure a 4 million dollar PR fine for next season as well. More on this breaking story as it develops.

Because to be honest your protections have been pretty much worked out so I started editing your Stars sheet. Hondo had not put his in so Kentucky is now the only sheet I have to edit for the start of Season 14 offseason hence why I knew his PR budget remaining.

Off-Season has started. In the offseason you can sign Free Agents once the Expansion Draft is done. You may also speak to:

- Coaches about joining the team and/or contract extensions (if you dare for the later)
- Agents
- Owners
- PR people

Players are generally on vacation and will not want to be disturbed. Disturb at your own risk. Congratulations to Chris Dorling on the win. I really enjoyed this season of FBL from the admin side, despite the fact it was a lot more work given nobody seemed hardly capable of holding down a job. The divisions have been scrapped its back to two conferences. 6 teams go to the playoffs. Top 2 seeds get byes. I will put together a schedule at some stage soon.

Other than that, try and be patient, I know you all enjoy the offseason, but I am more limited with the work schedule and a quite bad back problem at the moment so bare with me getting stuff done. Also, if there is the odd mistake here or there I am sure with some communication we can work it out.

Welcome to our new GMs, welcome back to some as well and lets have the best Season yet!

How about you guys stop trading things before Ian has a chance to record where they are.

IE: if Hondo trades Bishop to Dorling, Dorling can't turn around and trade Bishop until Ian has caught up.

I made a temp thread to sort this out. So less chatter in here and in confirmed deal thread. Look at what has been done in the fbl draft and season 15 confirmed and any changes let me know. Also, Ortega and Prince have both moved already...I am talking about glaring mistakes here.

If your happy with that you see in that thread from your perspective just say so as well so I can cross you off the list.

I'd rather get this sorted than go back and forth. Mistakes are made, I am more frustrated than anyone about it, lets move on.

Or the Colonel and Spots decided to reconcile and Spots is sticking around Mississippi.

Because Blake Terry was under ownership with Texas through a trade in Season 13. Terry did not have a active contract as Season 13, his prior contract expired at the end. Texas failed to sign him to a new deal, therefore he is released as an unrestricted free agent and not into the Expansion Draft.

Part of the game YOU signed up to play. It's not like you are the first person to have a coach stolen from. You should have realized your Coach had an awesome season last year and paid the man what he's worth. Since he was on the last year of a 4.2 million contract.

If anyone knows of anyone looking to play the game who isnt 5 years old and an unneccessary abusive individual please let them know there is a vacancy with the Portsmouth Defenders. Cheers all.

I'll make some inquiries.

Also, Shields? Fist yourself.

TyTy's is getting anxious. He can't mess with his team right now and it's triggering his OCD to mess with his team badly.

Look for TyTy to trade his entire team after the draft.

I heard the real reason Shields left was he found out Portsmouth were going to be sponsored by In N Out

I don't think that's the In N Out that's sponsoring Portsmouth. I heard the In N Out that's being referred to is also sponsoring the EFK Porn Draft if you know what I mean.

He maybe could be an assistant with the right team...but just wait. You're only going to be saddled with a terrible coach if you are too quick to hit the panic button.

Besides...the coaches aren't going anywhere. You can afford to wait. The options CAN get better, but they CAN'T get worse then they already are.

Right, I didn't actually mean to call Rob stupid. It was a bad move, presumably based on the same kind of pressure I've started to feel in finding coaches.

On that note: guys on their last year of contract should generally be looked at for renegotiation ASAP, am I correct? (Just to clarify, I'm not ruling out trade offers yet, merely making sure I understand that concept before proceeding)

Players can't be poached until after the All Star break this season.  So, that gives you a timetable to work from.

Some of the people trying to extend contracts have been told they will wait till after the all-star break, or explore free agency.

Do so at your own risk. Players want to be in a good situation before signing an extension.

It's one thing to be bad...but when you're players are "mortally embarrassed" and you get one of your key player's name wrong, you negate the great team you have put together.

I had the team sheets dowloaded from last season, but all the trades messed me up.  Got confused after the Free Agent list came out as well and the protection sheet disappeared so there are a few players who I didnt know came from where because I missed the last few protections.

This spreadsheet should have:

- Current Rosters / Coaches
- Current Super League Rosters / Coaches
- Current Free Agent Coaches
- Current Champions Tab
- Current Awards Tab
- Current All-Star Tab
- Current Seasons 6-13 Tabs

If anything is wrong, I'd appreciate letting me know, so I can adjust it on my end.

Hey, I'm going to be driving and getting some errands done - worse comes to worse and my turn comes, I assigned Pancho and Jon as proxies, giving them my last expansion draft pick and my own "big board" for my first FBL College Draft pick. Should be back within the next hour or two but figured it was worth giving you the heads-up.

Ok no one answered this question when I asked it before and I didn't send em because at the time I was trying to deal for more draft picks but is it too late on the scouting report access? I see holding things up doesn't help but I was just wondering if I didn't have to go blind.

Scouting reports were due ages ago. Its blind luck now.

Gonna be a slight hold up @ 15 for me until Josh gets back online.

Im gonna be trading it, so will make offer here + trades thread.

Looking for S15 1st rounder + player @ or under 1.5 cap hit.


with that said, I'll proxy pick for anyone after me, so that if there is a long hold up between me trading my pick / when #15 is finally taken, im safe because im not drafting anyone this year.

Have a question about the training for the offseason, has Ian ever given a detailed description as to what each one does? I mean common sense like shooting and rebounding,

but ones like 'Defending' is that a bit of rebounding, blocking, and stealing? Does 'Dribbling' while lowing turnovers, help other attribues? 'Conditioning' is the hard one, I know its ideal for overweight players and rookies adjusting to a game, but would it help older players from "showing signs of age" and help lessen their grade deteriorating, maybe less prone to injury

But why move up in the draft,  only to trade back down and gain another pick that you may not be able to use.

People know we can only sign 8 players and anyone else you pick becomes a free agent,  right?

Because I was able to get a 2nd for Jarret McLoo as opposed to having to either

A) burn my second rounder because I can't protect them all
b) cut McLoo and take the PR hit.

It's all about building future assets. I've got four contracts coming off my books next year and four first round picks to supplement them with. I'm in a good spot after inheriting a team who's been perennially awful because I've made moves.

This game isn't just about having high ranked players,  it's how you treat them and the relationship you create with agents and players that can make a difference you wouldn't expect. 

Expectations in Boise are not high, so gaining favor with fans and building a team slowly is what I would have done. I took over Seattle in almost the same state.

No they're not high so him coming in and making a team that isn't gonna be getting the shit kicked out of them on paper which is what it looked like going into this season should be commended. Who's to say that he didn't gain favor by the moves in he made? He got rid of Rex Holly who was getting over paid, he brought in Malcolm Hayes and made his team somewhere a player may play for in the near future. And thats without playing a single game.

Now, he could have pissed everyone off for making moves, but given the state Boise has been in for the last couple years, I'd hope that the fans would at least give him a couple weeks before asking for his head.

I'm sure the fans will. Like I said,  not ragging on him for making moves, it's not my team so it doesn't affect me. I'm pretty sure the owners is going to be pleased with the moves he made to make the team competitive. I'm just saying that you never know what can happen so be weary.

Always need to think ahead. For me, I have a cash cow in Mason Griffin who is completely on a make or break season. For most teams he's their core piece, but because I have 3 1st round picks next season, if he WONT get me that title, cut him and be able to sign 2 1st round draft picks pretty comfortably.

I have Class, Free, & Band too all close to 30. It seems AFTER 30, players start to go to shit (unless your Eddie Lights), and all these guys after this season will be in their final year of their contracts. Odds say I can land one (probably Class) as a very good AC, and the rest Im going to have to replace, and probably let go to expansion. Again, thought for the future and went all out for 4 draft picks next season.

Did Shields trade pick #26 with anyone? If not then Portsmouth are out of the draft and I'll do Josh's pick #27 for him.

I don't recall them trading...I believe Shields exited before he made any trades.

I think you're right, there's nothing in future deals and Ian updated the draft order 2 days ago. I'm going to do it.

So does that leave Metro with the next two picks? Or did he trade on away?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

I have the #28 pick.  Ian never updated the list.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Gates on October 16, 2013, 03:30:20 PM
I was going to say...Metro only has room for 1 player so hopefully he didn't have 2 picks back to back.

Acquire a 2nd rounder via trade (for a 2nd rounder next year perhaps).  A quick look at the draft order shows a few teams with multiple picks coming up.

Whatever you do, don't make another awful trade before getting some advice from someone. Don't let other GMs take advantage of your niceness.

Powers has a good point. Acquiring a 2nd this year for one of yours next year is not a bad option.

Since the draft is over, and we're waiting for our fearless leader's return, we need something to occupy our time. So let's play a real quick round of 20 Questions: FBL Edition.

Standard 20 Q's Rules. Ask the question in this format and add your guess.

Quote

20.

Does he look like a b*tch?
Is it Marcellus Wallace?


And I'll answer it here

Quote

20.

No, he doesn't look like a b*tch.
Yes, it is Marcellus Wallace!


Whoever gets it right gets to pick the next question.

Basic ground rules, no super-obscure players, coaches or personalities please. We're here to have fun, not to get a headache trying to remember the backup small forward for the Season 7 Waves.


(It was Yi Fi, by the way)


Anyway, person is picked, ask away!!

I am back. The trading for Season 15 draft picks is ridiculous, you do realize all this trading is effecting team morale for players being shipped in and out? I have no idea what the last trade with Boise and Baton Rouge was about in terms of swap picks so I just threw something in the confirmed for 15 thread. Furthermore I am not even paying attention anymore to the people moving up and down this draft as its ridiculous I assume you guys have.

A labour of love here folks, can you check over and make sure you play every team in your conference twice. I appreciate there is not a distinction between home and away. Let us assume first meeting is home team, next time you meet you become the away team. Vitally important you check you play every team twice...I think I cracked it first time. Still a good 3 hour labour of love...or hate...or fucking hate.

It does tell me I think I am now maxed out on FBL franchises, so we will have more creative ways with the SL to free up roster spots and make it more challenging for you all as we progress the game.

Just a thought: what about shortening the draft to one round?

The rate of players moving OUT of the league is a lot slower than them moving IN.  We essentially added 32 roster spots to the league this season with the 4 expansion teams but if we're maxed out in the league, there will be a surplus of additional players each season if we keep the current two-round format.

Again - just a thought.

If its listed as for example:

WEEK 2: LAS VEGAS VS HOLLYWOOD

The first encounter is LVA at home and second encounter is HWS at home.

Basically because it took me so long to put it together, format it etc. I couldnt be arsed to go back and change the home and away teams back around. The way you all operate you pay close attention to a team if you have played them already and if you refer to it in your chats with the game you would acknowledge it.

As a side note the only thing I need help with is people checking they are listed to face each time (according to their schedule) in their conference twice. And anyone who has an updated FA list when we eventually close this off. Unfortunately being off the road for a week (FBL Road) a lot happened and its sometimes tough to catch up.

Post by: Jon on October 19, 2013, 07:07:56 PM
Oh, I see how the schedule works now.

Alright... so from Week 1 to Block 1 of Week 7... the first team mentioned is the HOME TEAM.

Block 2 of Week 7 and Block 1 of Week 8 are already reversed for us. Everyone will play the same team in back to back weeks. So the first team mentioned is still the HOME TEAM.

From Block 2 of Week 8 to the end season the schedule is the same as Week 1 to Block 1 of Week 7. What Ian is saying, if you were HOME the first time around, you will be HOME to second time around. So the second team mentioned instead will be the HOME TEAM.

So for example. HOME TEAMS IN BOLD

WEEK 1

SEATTLE VS ROSWELL
PORTSMOUTH VS BATON ROUGE
LAS VEGAS VS COLORADO
PUERTO RICO VS BIRMINGHAM
HOLLYWOOD VS SAN DIEGO
MISSISSIPPI VS TAMPA BAY
HONOLULU VS ANCHORAGE
TEXAS VS KENTUCKY
BISMARCK VS TEMPE
VIRGINIA VS MONTREAL
WYOMING VS MONTANA
BOSTON VS PITTSBURGH
BOISE VS CALGARY
PROVIDENCE VS GREENVILLE


WEEK 8 - BLOCK TWO

SEATTLE VS ROSWELL
PORTSMOUTH VS BATON ROUGE
LAS VEGAS VS COLORADO
PUERTO RICO VS BIRMINGHAM
HOLLYWOOD VS SAN DIEGO
MISSISSIPPI VS TAMPA BAY
HONOLULU VS ANCHORAGE
TEXAS VS KENTUCKY
BISMARCK VS TEMPE
VIRGINIA VS MONTREAL
WYOMING VS MONTANA
BOSTON VS PITTSBURGH
BOISE VS CALGARY
PROVIDENCE VS GREENVILLE

Quote from: TalonChris Thomas

I've said it over and over since the draft, but Chris Thomas is the future of this franchise, and is going to be a household name in no-time.  Chris is going to show everyone this year that even though he is being billed as "The Future" the Future is NOW for this franchises first ever draft pick and for the entire FBL.   We're using our 2 million dollars in PR this year on spreading that word with the Chris Thomas "The Future is Now" campaign.

Quote from: Powers- Thomas Powell "The Future is Now"

(A montage of innovation is shown, from radio in the 1920's, to television in the 1940's, to space flight in the 1960's, to PC's in the 1980's, to iPhones of today. Interspersed throughout are highlights of Powell's greatest plays. The montage ends, and the screen goes black. The lights slowly come up on Thomas Powell standing center court in Greenville. The tag line reads "Thomas Powell - The Future is Now".)

Hmmmmm.....

Well it was either that or spend another three days thinking of a campaign, which I've made no secret are by far my least favourite part of the FBL. Snappy catchphrases and puns don't come to me naturally, so I'd much rather go with something that I thought was semi-clever than agonise over something that probably wouldn't turn out that great for having overthought it.

I really like the idea of protecting players from a potential poaching. Not only from a "keeping your most important guys at home" approach, but the "rolling the dice" approach, on whether the SL will steal one of the guys you leave unprotected or not. A game within a game, if you will.

Capital idea.

Hello, PR lady person! It's Bob Bluntman, Stoner's assistant.

Our fearless leader is out at a High Times Hall of Fame ceremony, so I've wandered out of my office in the third floor broom closet to take on some of these negotiations. Coincidentally, we're out of urinal cakes, if someone could get on that. And by the way, why are they called cakes? They taste like cold garbage. False advertising, if you ask me.

Alright, enough about snacks. Who do we need to hammer out a deal for? And how much cheddar are we workin' with here? And also, are you familiar with the work of the Kentucky PR lady? I'd recommend you check out her blog and catch up on a few pointers. And if you ever need a test subject, why, ol' Bob Bluntman is always at your service, wink wink nudge nudge.

I like the move for both teams. Mississippi lacked a leader and now has one. Boise needed to rid itself of Walton and got a good center in return and showed his stock piling of draft picks paid off.

Metro has received a lot of slack for his playstyle and strategy, but I wouldn't be so quick to knock it until you see the results.

On paper, this is going to be one of Boises best teams.

While I can see where you are coming from, but Hondo will be focused on running his own team and attempting to earn a 4 pennant in his signature.

Much like TJ (Soul of Philly) did for Black Death last season, you could do the same if you are interested in getting your feet wet in the FBL.

I'm sure Ian would be more than willing to let you take over Virginia until Stoner is able to resume his duties as a GM.

Stoner's my bud (pun intended) and there's no way I'd ever screw him over purposely. But even with that, it'd be a conflict of interest of me to try to run his team for him. Signing a few free agents for him is one thing, running the team and balancing the personalities is another.

I'm sure if it looks like Stones won't be back for a while, Ian will look for a temp replacement, much like TJ served while BD was away a few weeks ago. I'm sure you could fill the job should that arise.

I know he's got his own team but at the same time I'm worried that if I were to take over the team I'd manage to make a total mess of it in the interim while Stoner's away.  I'd hope not to do that obviously but being new it would be more likely to happen.  That being said me taking it over would still be a better alternative to it being auto-ran which would most likely end up being the case should Stoner's absence become more prolonged so I could attempt to steer the ship I just can't guarantee I won't run it into any reefs lol

I also want to point out the ironic hilarity of the possibility of Reya being the GM of a team based in Virginia lol

Reya, I don't think Ian would have held anything you said against Stoner much like how if I pissed off anyone on Wyoming, BD wouldn't have been punished. In character, they'd right it off as an assistant being given control due to extenuating circumstances and the worst that would happen is everyone is indifferent to your actions.

I think outside of Smarts, no one player on Wyoming took to my "look, we all know this isn't my team. We all know that I'm only here because the big fella is sick and that's it. I'm not asking for you to give me respect or to look at me other than someone filling in on a temp basis, but I'm asking you win one for Black Death." went over all that much I could be wrong, but it didn't help since they lost the only game I saw over.

Stupid Steven not trading me Champ Martin which would have saved BD's job in Wyoming.

You could asked him if he was willing to spend an extra year training under someone else's leadership or he could have given someone else a turn as captain or something, he wasn't a bright guy so there's lots of possibilities.

Instead, he got

Commissioner Trumpers installs new FBL Suicide Watch after two tear filled phone calls from Echo Walls and Todd Yallop.  The Commissioner immediately notified authorities removing their shoe laces, belts, and any sharp objects in their home.  Todd was found crying in his underwear looking at a picture of GM Soul while Echo was sitting in front of a mirror telling himself he was too captain.

...he could lose to them and still dominate the rest of the west though, and make the playoffs... the west is W E A K after you clear the top.

I only see a shut down PG holding up Marshall at point, I was more concerned with the team being ok with him at the position.  I dont think talent-wise, many teams can compete with that set up, it was more so "how will the team respond" 

If they buy into the system and keep out of Gen-News, Seattle's gonna be scary, minus the front court.

Regardless of which team it was, I was talking more about why I put him at point guard more than about the news saying he had a good performance. Black's quote, without having told Ian anything, explains why I put Troy there.

Matchup problems.

Still have to see the stats from the game, but I'm curious as to how he distributed the ball and kept Joe and Rich a part of the offense. If he can pass the ball to the open man against a defense focused on shutting him down, then that makes them even more dangerous.

Doesn't guarantee Seattle wins the championship, but it accomplishes what I intended.

Create a new layer, do the text in your preferred scheme and you should be able to over lay it nicely.


Now if you're working on it and you've done it all in B&W so the color isn't working, you can take your layers you've already done and merge them, and then change the setting back to RGB color, which would let you do more work with colors again, without resetting the rest of your work.

BREAKING NEWS...LING DELIVERS NEW FRANCHISE TO TORONTO AS PROMISED

He said a hand of God would help and Paul Ling has delivered a new franchise to Toronto known as the Angels. Commisioner Ling said.

"The city of Toronto wants basketball...it deserves basketball...and it now has basketball again!!!..."

No doubt the high profile city will look to put together Canadian nationals to help the PR department get them off on the right foot.

(http://www.efedknights.com/FBL/players/columntheinformer.jpg)

This sucks for me big time considering I have two high profile Canadian players on my team. Here's a list of Canadian players in the FBL.

Donnie Henderson - Hooks
Chris Thomas - Hooks
Jamie Dawson - Tempe
Rhys Mitchell - Stars
Dean Daniels - Milan (SL)
Michael Watchen - FA

I think this storyline will definitely effect my team and the Stars the most considering those are three most high profile Canadian players in the league right now.

No its fine.  To be honest I have some stuff coming up in real life that encouraged me to attempt to step down from FBL in general but it looked like there weren't enough spare GMs to be able to do so.  The fact someone was able to step in at all is kind of a relief for me.

BREAKING NEWS...DANIELS CALLS UNNECCESSARY TIME OUT TO GET DRINK OF WATER AND OXYGEN MASK

Mo Daniels called an unneccssary time out during the game with Wyoming this week to get a glass of water and suck down some oxygen as Coach Cramp was livid with the decision .

"Oxygen is overrated as is water..."

Cramp said he would deal with the matter himself on his own time and Daniels would understand how he might have killed the game for Colorado.

Q1. Any comments on last week?
A1: It was a good week, we got our first win under our belt and hopefully we can start to build off of this.
Q2. Remo is upset you didnt speak to him. How do you respond to this?
A2: I completely understand him being upset and I plan on doing my best to rectify the position.
Q3. Are you worried you will not be able to produce a team which Scott Cunningham wants to stay for?
A3: No I'm not worried at all.  Great teams don't pop up over night, it takes hard work and thats what we are going to be doing here in Anchorage.
Q4. What does Larry Hardaway bring to this ball club?
A4: Larry brings consistency and a veteran leadership to the team.  He's been in the game since a young age and someone like him is extremely beneficial to the rookies here. 
Q5. What awaits you in Week 3?
A5: Another tough week ahead of us.  San Diego has guys like Joe Reed and Cam Drake, two guy who are hitting their peak right now.  Very excited to see Bobby going up against Cam.  As far as Tempe goes, much like us they are a mix of veterans and very fresh faces.  Flo seems to be off to a great start and I've been hearing a lot about Wilk Smith, going to be interesting to see what happens when he matches up with Captain Cunning.

BREAKING NEWS...GM Powers booted from Anchorage Glaciers Press Conference!

GM Mike Powers of the Greenville Bulldogs was forcibly removed from the press conference today in a surprise move that left many questioning how he even got there. Shockingly, nobody is able to explain how he present at his own press conference moments earlier. Greenville did not play Anchorage this week. Ian Glue glue had this to say..

"That guys a fricking nut!..."

Nobody is really sure why Mike was there and what his cold beef is with GM Josh. Inside officials have also reported that Mike may just be a male nurse.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

but without an expansion, we dont have to protect players. Seems like if their under contract they stay, if they dont re-sign they go, and anyone you want off your team needs to be traded.

Kinda works as itll challenge people who gave bench & filler guys huge $$$

Post by: Hondo on November 01, 2013, 04:24:48 PM
The way I understood it from Ian, you have the opportunity to protect five players from SL poaching. However, unlike expansion draft protections, just because you leave a person unprotected doesn't mean he is off your team. The SL could sign all three of the unprotected players, they could sign just one or two, or they could sign none of them.

In a way, it's a game within a game, a roll of the dice to see who gets signed and who doesn't.

Maybe i'm wrong, but I took it as if you leave them open for the SL to take them, and the SL expansion teams do take them, they get them the same way that the expansion draft for the FBL works, only difference is that if your player doesn't get taken, then you keep them.

It's been coming across to me that it doesn't appear that they have any issues to discuss.  That's why I haven't spoken to them.  Granted I suppose they could have issues they'd rather bring to me as opposed to letting the coach in on, but I only thought of that just now when you brought it up lol

Sometimes issues only exist if you go looking for them. My approach has always been less is more.

Plus I figured if there was an issue that the coach would let me know, which so far there haven't been either because there are none or because he isn't aware of any that may be there.

True less is more.....but a check in with your Captain is a MUST.  I think everyone will agree with that.

But, it is up to you.  I'm sitting here with a <.500 win percentage, so what do I know.  See what Dorling or Hondo says about it, and do what they say, lol.

I haven't done that since taking over the team so it might be a good thing to do so, but it might also be viewed negatively as I haven't done it since taking over lol

In any case, as I haven't locked in yet I've left it open to speak to him if I choose to do so which I would figure that most would agree that I should.

I tend to think it'll work out for you alright either way.  You'll get a little more slack than the rest of us due to the unique nature of your entry into the game.

Check in with one player per week unless something comes to your attention through general news or press conferences. For example, Shack is my news right now so I'm keep tabs on that, and Bryan Carty was brought up in the press conference so I spoke to my assistant coach this week.

New players are good to talk to, but ease them in. I have 5 new guys so I plan on talking to them one at a time over the coming weeks. Early and late in the season I also find it helps to do a little speech here and there to address the whole team together.

Bone is right that less is more but don't take it too far. Communicate with your players and listen to your coach - but keep it simple. Most of the mistakes people make are from over thinking every little thing.

You do well - say well done.

You don't do well - ask the players if they're ok. Only be a dick if your players are being dicks.

Hey, does your Dairy Queen sell the Ultimate Burger? Or is that just a local thing?

It's a double cheeseburger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle and Ultimate Sauce. I'm pretty sure the sauce is 90% Thousand Island Dressing and 10% pickle relish.

Just wondering.

The one I work at used to sell it but they don't anymore.  They stopped doing it before I worked there.  Don't know about other towns but as far as I know none of the other ones in this town do either.

There likely will be another increase in cap and PR due to what the SL is doing from the sound of it. I think the ante is being upped on both sides.

There isn't going to be another cap increase because some of you like to pay even crappy players large amounts of money.

Cap increase just means higher rookie wages, it balances itself out.

I think it's a little early in the season to try and extend contracts.  Plus as I'll only be able to protect 5 players from the SL even if I were to resign them all I may still lose at least 1 and as many as 3 of them.

Eye Test Thoughts

Season 6
Waves – Redford Shack
Toppers – Kamil Bennett
Bells – Kaden Apollo
Wolves – Cazluc Vraba
Stallions – James Cross

Shack and Bennett were good from the get-go. Apollo had some management issues at first, and really didn't blossom til later. Vraba and Cross was really talented, but were major head cases.

Season 7
Spuds – Mason Griffin
Colonials – Clint Danberry
Wolves – Dakool Fox
Stallions – Hans Stimmar
Hayseeds – Freddie Bishop

Griffin and Danberry were major stars, Bishop was a solid scoring starter, and Stimmar was pretty decent. Fox is my early favorite for biggest draft bust.

Season 8
Bears – DeShawn Drummond
Aliens – Blair Smith
Bells – Corbin Dallas
Dragons – Blue Reed
Spuds – Matt Foster

Drummond was always really good, but he bounced around so much that it's hard to tell what might have been. I always coveted Smith but never could find a way to get him on my team. Dallas and Reed are solid, Foster was so-so to below average until just recently.

Season 9
Stallion – Troy Marshall
Steamers – Krease McCool
Aliens – Ty Williams
Stallions – Grizla Valinka
Blades – Dre Majors

LOL Grizla. Marshall is cocky but backed it up in a big way. McCool is good, but I'm not sure if he's worth the 'tude issues. Williams is another guy who may have been better had he stayed in one place for a while. Majors is much the same as McCool.

Season 10
Bears – Cedric Malone
Hayseeds – Joe Reed
Aliens – Echo Walls
Stallions – Robbie Wright
Dragons – Felix Johnson

Dang, when Ian said this draft class was thin, he wasn't pulling our puds! The only real decent player here was Reed, but even he was a bit overrated in my opinion.

Season 11
Diamonds – Scott Cunningham
Volcanoes – Creed Jackson
Spuds – Dennis Reigns
Stallions – Mack Ryan
Dragons – Reggie Jones

Had Rob not pooped the bed with the whole Cunningham/Chang Incident, Scott probably would have been a multi-time MVP and Providence a World Champion. But since he's moved around so much, he too has lost his luster. Jackson is pretty good, and Reigns, Ryan and Jones have been solid.

Season 12
Seagulls – Cam Drake
Green Hornets – Leon Dreams
Spuds – Sy Rogers
Bells – Washington Owens
Volcanoes – Fred Flanders

Drake will be a star for years to come if handled right. Dreams is good, but I wonder if he'll cross the hump to Shack/Bennett/Danberry levels? Rogers has been a bit of a disappointment. Owens is good, but only if you play him at the point. Flanders... lol.

Season 13
Hooks – Donnie Henderson
Jaguars – Lou Malone
Riverbandits  - Chris Thomas
Defenders – James Grant
Green Hornets – Clarence Marx

A little too early to say at this point, but Malone, Grant and Marx look like they could be future stars. Henderson and Thomas may need some work, but they may eventually get there.

Season 14
Bulldogs – Thomas Powell
Squirrels – Flo Payton
Thundercats – Michael Barnes
Forresters – John Cunningham
Diamonds – Juice McClain

WAAAY too early to tell.

No wonder Cory's a good drafter ... HE DOES IT MORE THAN ANYONE IN THE TOP 5 .... 7 times!  Franchise is right behind him with 5 times

What BD said. I'm banking on some sour relationships letting me steal some players after all star break. The only way I keep Shack is if he lowers his wage demands, which isn't likely. Time to plan for the future.

He got fixed by Jen, then re-ruined by Jen when she made Cross captain.

Now he is decent in a limited role when he gets his treatment and you DONT talk to him.

Different being the franchise cornerstone versus being valued by your team.  Clint Danberry is the best player on my team ... but if i made him captain mutu would be slighted.  One is a failure of loyalty ... the other is a failure of team building.  Mutu can never be the best player on my team.

The data for top 5 draft picks has been completed .... each column represents a season and the order in which they were picked.  Clearly for my money ... Redford Shack proves definitively that he is the best FBL player of all time ... PERIOD. Let the rest sort themselves out ...


The bottom is quite ugly with Dakool Fox, Felix Johnson, Grizla Valinka and Fred Flanders.  For my money Flanders proves the worst not only because of his lack of skill in any category but just after a few seasons he is gone from the FBL. 

A special thank you to fellow NS Report That Strike Guy for doing the math on those missing season 9 stats and for of course our commissioner Trumpers for providing said stats.  To reiterate.

Season 9
Stallion – Troy Marshall - GM Cory
Steamers – Krease McCool - GM Black Death
Aliens – Ty Williams - GM Franchise
Stallions – Grizla Valinka - GM Cory
Blades – Dre Majors - GM He Who Shall Not Be Named

Season 10
Bears – Cedric Malone - GM Jag
Hayseeds – Joe Reed - GM Hondo
Aliens – Echo Walls - GM Steven
Stallions – Robbie Wright - GM Cory
Dragons – Felix Johnson - GM Rebel

Season 11
Diamonds – Scott Cunningham - GM Rob
Volcanoes – Creed Jackson - GM Sgt Josh Underpants

Based on the top five picks and how their careers have gone, I'd say 8 or 9.

7 was good but...Fox. 6 has three great players but two psychos. 8 has five solid players who have panned out pretty well, 9 has 4 good'uns and then Grizla.

I'd say it's too soon to tell. Guys from seasons 6-9 have delivered a lot of good basketball up to now. Cunningham is good, but Marshall has 2 seasons of great play over him. Others in 11 haven't really set things alight or demanded big money/won championships. They're not fully proven in my eyes.

I fully believe to achieve you should only have players in your team you know can do the job consistently, it's why my team won last season. Proven players. As such I'd take a season 9 draftee over a season 11 one if I had to choose (and they were similar, of course).

Post by: Strike on November 08, 2013, 12:11:11 PM
From a pure talent standpoint, I'd say Season 9...and possibly this season may match it, depending on how a couple of the guys do in a few seasons' time. If we're just going by the Top 5's, I'll give the edge to 8 just slightly.

Also, if anyone just wants the S9 final regular season stat sheets for their own recordkeeping means, I can attach those later on today here or send them thru e-mail/PM/whatever once I'm by my laptop again.

If Chris gets you more 20 point games and starts showing that potential he was supposed to have, then I'd agree.

If he only averages 15 or so and nothing else on the stat sheet, you might want to let them both walk to Toronto and really give yourself cap flexibility... Hell, then you could afford to give Grant a call.


but that's just my 2 cents, it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out for you. ;)

I think the issue came about probably in how you worded it and how the process works/differs between the US and the UK.

Cuervo is garbage.  Don't be cheap and get some Don Julio. And if you are going cheap ... get Kirklands Tequila at Coscto/Sam's Club its the same if not better than Patron.

Cuervo was the first one that came to mind not named Patron (which I know to be expensive)...I don't really drink tequila and figured at least that would be better than this Montezuma Talon mentioned.

Haha, it will happen to us all. Nobody is immune. I guess I can see it coming from further off - if I'd stayed in Virginia it would have been very bad for me, I jumped at the right time. There will be a time where the outlook in Vegas becomes pretty grim too, so you never know!

Also, my in game persona would be more than delighted to see everyone go down in flames.

cory , to be honest , you might have hurt yourself a little.

Lee scoring is down , because mason  taken up more scoring this season.  last season Lee was the more of the offense, with mason there he does not have to score as much anymore.

you call him out on something that is  a natural thing when you  get a big time shooter in town. Lee not getting the same touches as last season

You've shown yourself to be able to do things with teams, however. Maybe it means cleaning house. But giving up on it just off the bat, I dunno. I know, in hindsight, I should have fought to do more with Texas and this season probably is showing that, really.

It's probably something that has accrued over time - for instance with the Mays thing, Lee was stated to have lost confidence in you, or something to that effect, and then this has been the straw that broke the camel's back. So it's less that you've had problems with him, more that he's had issues with your running of the team and finally he has no more patience.

BREAKING NEWS...BENNETT MEETS WITH JAMES GRANT, DEAL LIKELY

Kamil Bennett has personally met with James Grant of the Portsmouth Defenders about becoming a Hayseed next season. No word on whether he has got permission from his own team in doing so, but it seems Kamil wants to find his own long term replacement. An Insider said.

"Kamil's actions might have ruffled a few feathers wrong with the higher management and coaching staff..."

Kentucky was always the favourite in the bookies mind for Grant to go to, with Bennett looking to slash his own salary for next season to 2 million a year for a 2 year deal as a bench player for the team.

He was probably really hoping deep down that Cory was going to say...

"Leighton, I know you want to stay here for the rest of your career... So I'm going to resign, and you can stay here and finish your career like the Dragon you are."


He's going to be Clint Danberry, he's going to want to come back as soon as Cory is gone.

Best part, you'd get better value in sending him back to Tampa than you paid, so either way you win.

Good play overall.  I was looking at doing Sorensen for Leighton straight up, but was going to have to then find a SF and move Regan James, so glad you got your deal done.

Well if you look at is as A players rights, the Defenders future confirmed that Tampa would have the rights of Hurtz next season, meaning Tampa traded the rights to Calgary.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Ahh... ok. I get ya. I guess it is a slightly weird one because technically Tampa Bay wouldn't have the rights to said player until next season.

First, Boise owns the Calgary pick I believe.

Also, how can you trade Free when he isn't signed next year? He is protected from SL btw, not from testing FA, so you can protect him from the SL, but WE as a league can still sign him, at least, after the all star break. Some feel free to correct him if I'm wrong.

Big difference in the two cases. Drake wanted to be a Seagull for life, thats why I didnt try and get Blue Reed or someone super loyal. Free has bounced around enough teams to not be considered loyal to one.

My guess is it was the Closeness Twins who were accessories to the murder attempt and Cramp was the mastermind who will get caught. Hunch is like an incompetant movie detective character so he'll be involved in some of these shenanigans somehow.

Just a small tip for some people. I notice that sometimes, GM's will speak to someone, and when they're done just ask to see someone else. Well, all that will happen is, that player will come in and say "yeah" or something like that. Why not place some sort of page break, then type whatever you want to say to them. It saves time and saves waiting for Ian to make an unnecessary post to keep things moving.

And you tend to get in hot waters a good bit.

Correlation? Possibly. If you don't know what you're going to talk to a player about, don't. Normally the best that happens is an "...ok?" sorta like we all, for the most part, (Myself included) did with welcoming players to knew teams and then sending them on their way without really giving a reason for the talk outside of that. I mean, if the odds aren't in favor of a positive result, don't have the conversation.

THink like this, if you have a bunch of random, no reason conversations, the more chance you have to piss them off and or put your foot in your mouth and risk getting put on the hot seat.

Dom who said the kids where his... maybe that one of the reasons he in the chair.


also you where pushing him to do something that he was not capable of...you could have just let him be and got rid of him at the off season. but you keep pressing it.  Like when I had the problem with Franks...He was not capable of doing it  and flat out refuse to do it.  I fired him , he sue and i told the truth , I ask him to do something , he did not do it and I fired him for it.  lawsuit went away


Basically the guy was damage and you feed into his craziness. you could have taken the hint ... left him alone and got someone better.  I understand you were thinking long term for the team. but he was the wrong guy for the team.  now you might take a hit for it.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on November 28, 2013, 09:15:57 AM
He was capable of doing it, BD, but he dropped in rating this season. Considering I only talked to him once about it, I don't see how I kept pressing him on it, but I know what you are saying. Still, considering it came up in my media questions over and over again about the bench, if I did nothing and ignored it it could have done more damage.

Regardless,  what's done is done and I have to deal with what happens.  It's part of the game, I was just pointing out to Talon that I never fired Ferndale.

In his defense, all he knew was it was a guy in a wheelchair and not his mental instability.

Sorry if I'm acting a bit on edge, if I'm under a lot of stress regarding my english and speaking skills irl. I can't raise my GPA about 84% in College because my instructors ride every single English error I make and, despite spending countless hours putting every effort into my assignments, I lose huge marks on each assignment because I use the wrong word here or there. I've put every effort into fixing it and if I don't raise my gpa, I don't get into my next year university. My language things is a very touchy topic for me, its something I can't handle being picked at here. Lets keep this game fun guys, mmm'kay?

Not saying a single word about your English skills. Its your (lack of) attention to detail that has practically become a meme around these parts. If you can't handle ribbing about the same mistake you make over and over again without dropping an f-bomb on me, might I suggest you stop making the same dumb mistake? After all, you stop doing it, and nobody has anything to make jokes about, do they?

Or, you could not be a douche about it and realize that people have weaknesses and make mistakes and that for me, it's a sensitive area that right now, I can't handle being poked at where I'm at currently.

You think Im trying to make the damn mistakes Mike? Do you think I purposely go out and make mistakes when I write and when I speak? Its not a fucking lack of attention, I read the damn things through and it looks right to me and I post it.

I'm not above being corrected about it, just I have asked that above that correction we leave it at that. At least until I deal with shit in real life, k?

Man not gonna lie, Im almost certain Lee will want to go back to Tampa this off-season. He might not if you can keep Grant, but Im feeling like 70/30 hell wanna go back. If I gave you Blue too, hes the same type of guy, would wanna go back and I didnt wanna completely whore you.

Felt like the 1st rounder I needlessly added would help incase Lee wanted to return, at least you'd keep something out of it....plus the pick meant absolutely NOTHING to me lol.

Actually that wouldn't be a bad move at all for BD.

You may have already done so but have you tried having someone else look over your assignments before turning them in?  That could cut the errors down having another set of eyes taking a look at your work.  Just a suggestion.

Not corrections as such, since what I said wasn't wrong.

I wasn't given him for nothing like Blade got him from Franchise...the point my heelish devil is trying to make is that with three of a kind I would have won every year. As it happens, I was rebuilding the wreck that Jon left  ;)

It'll be in Virginia.

Also, it's an understandable move here as well. But imagine this...Dorling CAN likely get a third ring in another season or two if he builds this there team up. Add that to the fact he'll have a decent draft pick to put to use and work it with his three peeps too.

No first round pick and enough PR for 2 scout reports. Going to be a difficult job there.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on November 30, 2013, 04:46:41 PM
I never said to him that I wanted to bench him.  I asked him if he would mind starting at point guard.

Granted, its likely a move that fucks my season, but Rolo is more valuable as the shooting guard, guarding the opponents best shooters. 

So it'd be nice to have the option to slide the line up around once every 4-5 games, letting Rolo cover the Mason Griffins and Petri Rovuks of the world, while James comes in as the sixth man for the game.

Similar to moving LeBron or Melo around in the line up, only more for the defensive aspect of it.



and it's too late at this point to back track and ask a coach to ask.  I feel like thats a cop out anyways.

- Franchise gets fired from Colorado after his entire team is murdered at the Closeness party (along will all others in attendance.. THE PUNCH IS REALLY "KOOL-AID!" DONT DRINK IT!)
- Steven gets fired from Mississippi
- I get fired from Birmingham by the end of the season
- Franchise takes over Tempe
- Steven takes over Birmingham

- Colorado and Mississippi are shut down and the league contracts to make up for the lack of available GMs.
- People notice that most of the GMs who bailed on their teams last season were fired this season.
- People stop quitting their team for "greener pastures" and play out the season.

- Dorling turns Baton Rouge into a beast, winning a title and becoming the GOAT of the FBL.

BREAKING NEWS...MALONE FACING WEEK 6 SUSPENSION AFTER FAN ALTERCATION

Cedric Malone is facing a Week 6 suspension after an altercation with a fan who accussed Malone of being a draft bust. Malone was benched this week despite GM Death wanting more from the former lottery pick player confusing fans alike. One fan challenged Malone and Malone then tried to bet the fan for one night with his wife. The fan won and Malone got angry. League officials said.

"Right now we are looking into the situation alongside Chris Flynn's situation in Texas...it seems a suspension will have to be served in Week 6 by both players. Teams are advised to contact Commisioner Trumps' office..."

GM Death inherited a tough team this year and has been given a major amount of slack, but his problems in maintaining James Grant has seen a noose tighten around his neck, Malone again adding more pressure to this.

Basically, everybody who went to the Closeness Party are being held Hostage in an Airport via the Closenesses and Colorado's head Coach.  May possibly be a Biology tie in.

No Press Questions this week, but GM's can give a statement on the events.

What the Closeness Twins don't realize is, I have a particular set of skills...

...and if this game wasn't run on a sim, I would make every attempt to fill in as center. What? I used to play center back in the day.

...crap. This is exactly why I should've gotten a backup center... -_-

I want to post this....but I'm a coward.

From the Laboratory of GM Bone

Hello, friends, fans, neighbors. I am here today to comment on a terrible but not unexpected event that will forever change the lives of a few FBL players, their families, and Mike Flips. I am saddened, but not shocked to hear that the Closeness Brothers, former Coaches of the Montana Bears, has taken a handful of FBL players and personnel hostage. The Honolulu Volcanoes are thankful that none of our players, family, or fans have been affected by this tragedy that everyone saw coming. Our hearts go out to those trapped in the siege, and we wish for a peaceful resolution.

Jerry, Fred, let me address you for a moment. I know what it's like to have people hate you, to be tossed into jail, and strip-searched at airports. It's not pleasant to say the least. But a man is judged by his actions, and your actions are wrong. But no one is lost, you still have a chance to redeem yourselves. Resolve this issue peacefully. No one, has to get hurt.

For everyone else, the Volcanoes will have to continue to play basketball with a heavy heart. But we will play on. We have a date with Boise and Montana this week, two of the Western Conferences premiere teams. Boise is a different team with GM Metro, and he's done a great job. But they stand in the Volcanoes way. Montana too is a different team without the Closeness Brothers at the helm, but they now sport the best record in the league. I think we match-up well against them. The All-Star break is next week, and we're going to do everything in our powers to come into the break with the momentum of two wins.

Once again, our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected by the Closeness siege. Thank you for your time.

Question.  Nobody on my team currently has an expiring contract.  If I sign someone new for next year, I won't get in trouble/draw a fine for having too many players on my team, so long as I trade/release someone before the start of next season, correct?

If you sign someone make sure to clarify that it's for Season 15.  Then you will need to trade/release/hope SL picks them up.

Ian has said we have enough teams and players...I don't think he's going to actually run the superleague as a playable part of the game. Unless you mean something else that I'm not picking up on?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on December 06, 2013, 10:51:34 AM
The SL is used to ferry people out of the game, create openings for the draft and a catalyst of a problematic rival organization. Nobody will manage a SL team unless that SL team becomes incorporated in the FBL and other SL teams then pop up in its place.

So yep...Rob unfortunayely mate you will be GMing them in your mind.

Believe it or not, this whole season begins for me around July and just goes on until the end of January.

Maybe someone else with a bit more free time can step into my slot and pick up the game and love it as much as I have. Ultimately, I don't think it's fair on you guys and especially Ian if I'm not spending my time actually reading what is going on. So yeah, that's me done for a while. Who knows?

Regardless, thanks

Just to note here is how everything will come together this week:

- Require Dorling's All-Star selections then I will run the sim on the All-Star game
- I will prior to this post Week 7's action from the FBL. Please do not answer any questions from the media till AFTER the All-Star game is simmed
- After the All-Star game is up there will be a General News story in regards to the Closeness Siege. Think of this as a way to eliminate a few more players from the game. I appreciate its a BIT DARK, but I will try and make it as lighthearted as I can do.
- From there on in, feel free to answer your General Media. I will be posting a list of the potential Free Agents, their desired locations and or plans. This should eliminate the requirement for people going mental over Free Agents.


We will probably need a few more GMs next season mostly cause I think some of the current GMs might bow out so if anyone shows an interest and they understand the committment format we require then let them know of the current openings.

BREAKING NEWS...CLOSENESS TWINS CRASH ATTEMPTED MOON ROCKET LOOKING TO FLEE SCENE

The Closeness Twins reign of terror ended last night when they attempted to fly a rocket made of paper, crisp packets and Geoff Fardy merchandise to the moon killing both men...or so it would seem, but the real tragedy occurred when it was revealed which FBL stars had lost their lives during the seiige that went on far too long for anyone to be interested.

Igor Slatizck - although its unclear at this stage it seemed he might have been murdered by a further maniacal hostege...unnamed for taking the last piece of pizza. It seems Igor's taste for a meat feast was his timely death. His head was then delivered back out the door on Day 4. Some police officers did partake in the pizza before realizing they were indeed eating Slatizck...it was a dead give away when someone realized his face was just sitting there.

Cheese King - Rumours persisted inside King attempted to get a game of Flipsopoly going, and traded his get out of jail free card for poison. King then drank the poison and died. His corpse has since been traded to the Texas Stallions as part of a deal for Season 15, though many feel his stiff like approach inside is better than most the current Texas roster. King who has been known from time to time can be contacted by the means of seances or just to mess with terrorist General Managers. Charles Munsen was thought to also have died or at least been disfigured, but he was not a zombie...just ugly.

Mo Daniels - A would be hero of the siege, Daniels changed his religion to the Church of Lungology which he founded whilst in the siege. Part of his ritual was to remove his own lung and then soon realized he couldnt breath...when he was dead. His tombstone is engraved with 'Mo Money Mo Daniels'. A senile Coach MacKay attended the funeral, but thought he was at bingo.

Baldo - Started to get a small enterprise of t-shirts going saying he loved 'GM Alex K' when people revealed he had only been living with his General Manager in his mind he envoked the 'Vraba Leap Of Faith', but instead of soft grass he lept into a bed of knifes...confused by this Western horticulture. He is survived by his life partner Alex K.

Caleb Toom - Complained about most things during the siege including the pillows in the night he was suffocated by one after asking for a trade to a better pillow. It is fortold that the hostages bonded over Toom's death with their captures as nobody liked him.

The Unlucky 5 or the 'WhoGivesAFack5' were remembered on the back of a commerative RC Cola can this week. The siege eventually came to an end, when Vlad Bogolov stormed the compound and proceeded to have extreme sexual intercourse with a shotgun, Mike Flips then used a form of legendary karate to free...himself...and then make sure he locked the door behind him. Finally, as the rocket to the meet the Almighty Lebron Cupboard a malfunction in the bottom crisp packet was thought to have caused the problem in otherwise what would have been a successful mission. Jon Howard from Slappy Days has bought the rights to the story for the feature film...Tree Man 9: Barking Up The Wrong Tree.

EXPLAINING THE FREE AGENCY TREE:

Each FA is listed. Anyone listed as wanting to stay with their current team should be considered to have the desire to do so. Anyone saying No will not stay with the team and re-sign. Undecided means he has options and really hasnt made up his mind so it will cost you!

- There are 4 teams per player in the possibilities thread. It is done in preference order. If there is a SL or FBL logo this means they are open for options 3 or 4 to sign for most teams but would prefer the other teams first if given a chance. If a FBL or SL proceeds the other it indicates what league said player would prefer to stay in or go to.

Outside that its first come, first served. Anyone is welcome to bid on any players, but please dont waste time if its fairly obvious you cannot sign them. Catch being...you have to be a current GM to talk FA with a player...and owners of the FBL/SL will sign players for teams without a GM.

Enjoy and may the bidding war commence!!!

P.S. You are not required to protect these players from the SL as they will officially SIGN AFTER your protections deadline.

I'll admit I didn't know. I wanted to get Cal signed tonight because we're going live next week with the ERP Implementation at work that I'm on and I wanted to be able to get my guy signed and then lock in because I have no idea if I'll be around this week.

If a trade is confirmed I can't see why you would need to protect them since not protecting does not mean they will be leaving your team. As I recall it would just leave them open to poaching, but as a trade had already been agreed... meh, I'm not sure.

Stupid mistake on my part, though I'm not sure how it came up in the conversation between my PR lady and Don that I did not personally request him. Guess I should've waited till I got home from work.

Wrong. You added Troy Marshalls career in there.

Drafted Providence
Stayed 2 seasons.
Rob trades Chang
Shit hits the fan.
Cunningham bounces to SL
Same post season.
Josh signs him to Bismarck.
Stays 1 season
Skips town to Anchorage.
Stays 1 season.
Skips town to Colorado
Demands trade away from Josh

The players you leave unprotected I believe, are on your team next year unless they sign with the SL. The SL could select them but it would be up to the players if they choose to leave. For Example, if I were to leave Yallop unprotected but he said no to the SL he would return to my team.

Couple of notes:

Please submit your protections when you can so I can put them on my sheet. Put them in the Future Deals thread. I think I misread what Hondo asked me, this wont effect morale at this stage as of course your helping me out with the game.

Also GMs for Season 15 if you have budgets for scouting please feel free to future deal them. Again this will just tidy up anything I can do as we are now well into the season.

Finally, if you know of people who might be interested in FBL, there is kind of a note in General News. I can only look to expand the FBL league if there are new GMs interested in joining, otherwise I cannot. As daft as it sounds I like to add 4 teams when I can two to each conference, but for the time being I wont be adding till we can see that we have more committed players wanting to play. Not a shot at anyone, just when it lags, it lags or if people bow out it then means we need to find someone else. Overall though I hope you are all still enjoying the game.

I know Ian loves getting more and more people involved with this, but If you told me we could have 25 total players, with varying levels of commitment or 12 players that have 15-20 a day to pop in and check around, are involved not only OOC but are invested in the game, its funner to me & it also makes the experience more time efficient for locking in and stuff.

When you get to the point where you have to ASK people to play this wonderful game, I think less is more.

Quick 5 tips from a dude whose been here since the beginning

1) Subscribe to your teams topic, so every time Ian posts an update, you'll get a notification
2) Free free to pop in OOC, shame the shouty isnt as good that was much quicker, but everyone helps.
3) As a new player, DONT make a trade within your first off-season, odds say someone like me is trying to rip you off.
4) Less is more. Dont do/ask anything without a purpose, it slows up the game, you'll see this when your actually playing.
5)  Welcome and enjoy this crazy fun game.

That was ill-advised, but I wanted out of Tampa soon (It was all in with Mason for a Championship, If we lost I would have tried and look for a new team.) They are the current Pittsburgh Steelers of the FBL.

All my stars were on the down end of their careers (Lee, Free, Class, Reed and Band) are all nearing the end, or past their primes, and taking up a lot of cap, but you cant move one or else the team chemistry would go to shit, so its a double edged sword. I had 3 first round picks, but with todays market in the game, that would have cost close to 30 million, which in no way I could sign.

I woulda loved to stay, I still had a plan for the team, but fuck it. They canned my ass, and I fucked their team over. No more picks, and no more Michael Free for canning my ass.

7) Download the GM history spreadsheet and look at the GMs who win. Then weigh up in your own mind if all the free advice you get is as god as it sounds. To this day I barely get any questions sent my way. I imagine Hondo gets more. But the people who offer the most advice tend to have a lot of time to do so as they don't have a team to look after :)

I donno man,

Class and Bands play dropped this year, and now you lost a very solid 6th man to the SL.
Reed and Lee with both be 28, seeing as the retirement age in most cases is like 30-32 in the FBL, their near their last legs. Lee used to get 12-15 dimes a game in his sleep, he was struggling to get 10 this season.

Plus with Mason and Reds massive contracts, it was difficult to work within the boundaries.

Im not saying the team is gonna be shit, but the conditions arent exactly ideal, at least for my likings. In my spread sheet I had three scenarios forcasted. 1 for if I won the championship and how to fit players in within a very minimal budget, 2. If we lost SL deals for Mason Griffin to accommodate some cap to sign some 1st round picks, 3. Jump ship from a soon to be museum to a fresh meat team.

All I can say is goodluck man, eventually you'll get the greatest coach in FBL history in Leighton Lee.

The main thing is the salary/PR jump helps. My plan is to get somebody who can fit at the three and play well with Leighton and Mason, while using the last spot for a decent bench guy...then start planning around the replacements for these dudes. We'll definitely see how it all plays out and as for Leighton? Yeah, he's got a future in the coaching department whenever he decides to hang up the sneakers.

Also, Alex? Don't feel bad. Calgary didn't win a game until I was fired too. <_>

Well, except I had a player quit on me early in (Cooper), I forgot to check in with Winchester first and he went off on a drunken rampage and killed a horse, made the same mistake again with GoGo and he quit, forgot to bench Country after he hurt his finger trying to use it as a key, which led to a series of events that got me blacklisted from Don Figs.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I dont think this would be similar to any of those as those are relatives, this is all representing their country in a foreign league, kinda like if the Raptors in the NBA had Steve Nash, Anthony Bennett, and got Andrew Wiggens.

I cant see it being an issue and for as much as I negative my good positives in this game with stupid mistakes, my in game reputation of team chemistry is well known, and I think having Canadas best all on one team could be like the Croatians (?) that Dorling had in Virginia a while back, with Class/Rekov/Molivaz/Ronko/Vraba.

I could probably wait for Thomas's contract to expire and pick him up there, and probably grab solid bench guys like Watchen and Dawson if they fall to F.A, but I think trying to get Rhys Mitchell off Jenn would cost to much for an experiment that I dont know if would work.

Judging by Muller's response, I'd say you're right.

Whenever possible, I let the agent tell me what they want. Unless you know about what they want, or they flat out want you to make the first offer, always let the agent get the ball rolling.

Also, we need to rename you Mike Death.

Or Black Powers.

YEAH. I like Black Powers much better.

Judging by his agents reaction, yeah I overpaid. It didn't seem like too big a reach at the time. Its only a $3.5 raise from his current salary. I added the PR because I wanna do a "2 Pow Punch" campaign next season.

I think it'll work out okay in the end. I'm going the "stability" route. No crazy trades, keeping my core guys in place.

A $3.5 million raise that wasn't necessarily warranted.  He's only a rookie and yeah he's played pretty good to this point, but a raise after the first season? Nah.  Stop drinking BD's water.

I also like the fact that it offers no help at all to the new guys - Hondo and I play the game completely differently but have managed to put some great teams together, so in some situations we would likely offer completely contradictory advice. There is no right way in the FBL, but I think the main thing Hondo and I have in common is that we always know whay we want to do next and plan/backup plan. And then hope for the best!

The team needs to win and make the play-offs. It's not going to happen with the shit that is out there otherwise so you make the necessary sacrifices. Chalk it up to learning I guess -- be John Gibbons, not Joe Torre.

There's usually a pop sale at one of the grocery stores or drug stores, (3 for $10 sometimes, 4 for $12 others) and that's usually when we buy ours. But if you're out and have to stop at a gas station to pick up a quick case, it's $4.50.

Metro did it backwards. Was better off with Okenfunk as HC and Deuce as AC.

Quote from: GM Franchise on January 14, 2014, 11:17:42 PM
This is very accurate. Deuce was the WORST coach I've ever had and that's saying a lot.

I think they are equally as bad. There is no "better off" situation when discussing these two coaches. One is a black market dealer and the other is a wrestling interviewer. Neither are coaches.

But hey, Boise got two wins last week, so Deuce is 2-0.

I saw it in the Viewing Online list... it said you were smiting someone. Then I just checked a second ago and it said you were applauding someone.

My EFK power went up 2 because it took off the smite and added a broc that you put on it!

Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on January 19, 2014, 10:10:34 PM
Should be an update at some stage tomorrow. I have the results in for those interested. I have also now got the draft order for the Season 15 draft based off the last sim for the Diamonds and Toppers teams. You will notice I have moved the trades of draft picks away from Season 15 to reflect those made. Also a good portion of the player deals whether be FA or trade have been moved so don't ask for a current roster. Those with PR attached haven't been moved so that I can update the PR portion of your sheet after I am assured no more PR will be spent of Season 14.

All in all with the info on the SL Season 4 ready to post as well, once the playoffs are done I am going to take a break so a longish offseason folks mostly because the time consuming part for me is running the sim and then inputting the stats data, followed by questions and news story for every team. So take your time over the offseason is kind of the message. Looking forward to seeing the playoffs best of luck to all and as I said...probably all ready to go tomorrow at some stage.

How does the Semi-Finals work? I made the assumption that the #1 Seed faces the lowest seed remaining and the #2 Seed faces the highest remaining, but not everyone agrees with me.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on January 20, 2014, 11:01:35 AM
Well there are two different ways...

The NFL Way...

#1 seed plays lowest remaining seed.
#2 seed plays highest remaining seed.

The NBA Way...

#1 seed plays winner of 4/5 matchup
#2 seed plays winner of 3/6 matchup
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on January 20, 2014, 11:15:23 AM
The NBA doesn't have byes though. I was assuming the NFL way since we have the same number of seeding and byes as they do.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on January 20, 2014, 11:24:17 AM
Even though the NBA doesn't have byes... the #1 seed matches up against the #4/#5 seed in the bracket.

But really, we could talk about what it is... but only Ian knows. I was just throwing out two of the options it could be.

My suggestion would be to sit back and see what happens. :P

This is for Hondo so he can do a Mock Draft, but obviously anyone can use it as well.

Early look at what S15 rosters. Might be some errors, so don't take it as a gold.

This document says that Ricky Hallmark has 2.5 mil PR on his contract.

The Google Doc spreadsheet doesn't say he has any PR on his contract.

Being that this contract was done prior to my entering the game, I'm unsure as to which is correct.

Everything else at least on my end appears to be correct.

Always look at your team sheet... it shows he has 2.5 PR.

The google doc isn't 100% accurate as thats why I look to you guys to point out anything I missed while making it.

Also... +1 to Hondo and Justin P for some COLUMNS!!! WOOOO!

Hondo, great Mock Draft as usual. Always fun to compare yours to what actual happens.

An Justin, liked the prediction column. Good stuff.

My intention when I did my first one was to keep it going, but to be honest I haven't done the best of job keeping up with every single team so I stayed away from doing another one.  Doing one for each round of the playoffs will be easier, but for next season I plan to keep it going after every two weeks of games.

I really need to stop staying up so late. My brain is half asleep. On the bright side, when I pass this test I'll be officially qualified to officiate MMA in my province. I will be one of the first 5 eligible, means I'm guaranteed to be working when the UFC comes next year. Its a bit of a long shot but I could potentially judge when the UFC comes. And here I was beginning to think all my years obsessing about wrestling, jitz, and mma were for nothing...

The break for me is more to do with break in games...thats the hardest part for me that and the stats bit. So its really up to folks. I am sure we can casually take care of a lot of the offseason and then maybe break for a bit.

I am pretty good to be honest Jon, I enjoy it, I wouldnt do it otherwise. I think just people staying committed to the game and trying to not drag on Q&A weeks, like some guys answer a question and then move on. That sort of thinking would help speed up my process rather than me having to go 'Yes' all the time.

Just to double check. How does the SL protections (like who they protect... FBL protections?) work for them when it comes to trying to raid their talent? Are SL talents not worth going after still?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

 I think the SL is there to take players away from our part of the game, so I doubt we can raid them.

Why do I have this ominously bad feeling that my offseason is about to get worse because when I wake up I'll be without a coach?

There is no guarantee, but I apologise in advance if I get him. OOC of course, I'll rub it in your face IC if I get the chance. Class likes it in Virginia though.

Im kinda hoping Ian rewards me somehow by not going all in on the first coach that comes my way, as he always stressed one way or another to wait with coaches.

In terms of when I produce a list and everyone already starts going for the ones prior to the list lol. The list is produced...thats what it is. Plenty of guys on there, but you opted for a bidding war with Franchise over Tees...

Hey just a quick piece to you rookies.



Four things to live by in the FBL


1. Never Delete A post

2. Never Edit A Post

3. Never blow off your Coach to talk to players.

4. After answering your press questions, wait for your coach to initiate contact before handling any other business, and refer to point 3 before doing anything else.

You forgot a couple.

5.  Don't try to contact your Coach when they're on vacation.

6.  Blame either Dorling or TJ for things that go wrong.

7.  Stay as far away from (Insert Ferndales/Closenesses/Flips/etc.) as possible.

I think I've proven I don't need useless scouting reports of players I don't have to put a quality team together.

Reports are great for future free agency plans.

...or knowing guys like Sorensen are good future coaches / player coaches (before Ian tells you in Gen-News)

I don't see how scouting reports are good for free agency, unless of course they are reports from your coach specifically.  Those reports can differ on the same player for different teams quite dramatically.  I would hope you create your free agency plan based on what that player has done since being in the FBL, not what his scouting report said two or three seasons ago.

Nah, I will just use S14 stats to base opinions/projections for teams.  I would just like the reports for the rookies to help me be as detailed as possible, but if nobody submits them, that is fine I will just come up with something.

I use it strickly to see if their a bust or not, find out character flaws, ect...that why Im always looking to exchange reports.

I dont think I've ever seen a major discrepancy in a report on the basic talent of a player, and if the player has issues you can judge by the quality of a AC if you can believe it or not.

I'm guessing something like that will have to happen, I think not having expansion teams messed things up, with our unprotected players all going to the SL rather than FA.

I had thought earlier that we may see contraction in the SL. But at the same time, with the current "The SL is getting bigger" storyline, I don't know.

My guess is that assistants will mention people they want to bring in (ie. with Mura and the Orphans) and rosters will be filled that way.

There's only 1 PG left on the FA list.

I wouldn't advise taking him unless you're desperate for Tryhards though.

There's 4 SF/PFs and 1 PF.  That's pretty much it.

Seeing how he isn't an offensive player and was playing off the bench, that's pretty decent if you ask me.

Decent is a generous evaluation...i had him ,Marty Brown, and Duke Briscoe in my "shiny turd" category for rating current FAs, but the fact he has major attitude concerns with the Bench Strike.

It had less to do with being on the bench and more to do with how Powers handled it in my opinion.  He ignored them,  then when it was brought up he called them all in at one time line a herd of cattle.

An onlooker on the scene said.

“A witness saw two men drop off Mr. Chemankocov outside the 8/12 and proceed to be standing over him doing “something” before getting away, the witness said they moved along about their night, but caught what appeared to be a Hayseeds World Champions sticker on the back of the car.”

Grades dont mean nothing. Last season, the Blades had the highest grades of any team in the league. We've seen plenty of times B ranked players busting and C ranked players getting amazing numbers. Itll be tough to get his numbers up but get him like a British hooker or something, he'll play like a B player Im sure.

Grades aint everything

Bad players can be overcome.  It's a matter of how you handle them.  We usually end up with 8-9 GMless teams by the end of the season anyway, which always opens the door for someone to sneak in.

Luckily, the authorites love foreign investors. My friend's dad told the police I was coming to China concerning business and the hotel ripped me off. The hotel apologized and gave me about $800 back. Between the price of the room and the ripoffs, it only cost about $500 so I think I've forgiven those rotten bastards.

Threads unlocked, take your time as we come out of training camp. You can still do trades and deals up until you lock in for the season. Note team morale a factor.

Once a team is locked in thats them locked in for the season. Finally, protocal is you speak to your coach first so over to you guys to do that....Coaches will be pissed if you dont speak to them first!

"This is a better looking stallions team then the one they had last year. In the mind of Cowboy Bob Starr, they needed to bring in someone like GM Talon and to be fair, he managed to make the most of limited resources. My worry is does he have volatile players. Dre Majors has had issues in the past, Krease McCool is volatile in the past which could upset this. Rik Kluff, what I like about Rik Kluff is that he's not your standard centre. He's not a great rebounder but by putting Jesus Chavez who did some big rebounding in Anchorage last season... this has got to be a good front court. This is a big team (lists the players heights). This is a big looking team for Texas, I think they're going to be good at rebounding. The question is going to be whether they can get Art Smith to re-sign. He's in that 1 year contract... or if they even want him to re-sign."

"No.. I think GM Talon will look to get him to sign early. He's a quality coach in this league. There's not a lot of room for negotiation with the salary caps, they gotta consider scouting. I could potentially see Smith landing a couple extra million, maybe a million or two more. Herman whatever might get some more for a longer commitment but its really going to eat into the PR budget and that's a really big thing"

You know what we have in common last year ... no championship.  Just because a coach or player demands that much DOESN't mean you have to pay them.  Part of the reason I let Mutu go was at that age and experience he was going to decline so a raise while market warranted ... wasn't player warranted.

Ah, but letting Mutu go nearly got you fired as well. The thing with this game is, it's nothing like in real life. In the NBA, when a player gets older, the team will cut him or let his contract expire. Doesn't matter what he had done before that or how many banners he hung, 90% of the time it's a "What have you done for me lately?" mindset. And that's perfectly fine.

That however is not the case with FBL, which is admittedly from its creator a total exaggeration of real life. Not to mention that the game puts a LOT of emphasis on morale. Sometimes it's well worth spending a couple extra million on a player, or using a little extra PR cash when needed. Keep the team leaders happy = wins. It's worked out pretty well for me so far.

But with that said.. yeah, some of those coach contracts were nucking futs. Seriously.

Thanks. I should probably have mentioned this before I took the job but, I don't actually know anything about basketball. I'm going to need all the help I can get.

I understand that the ball goes in the hoop about 100 times per game and that you get 2 or 3 points depending on where you score from. I also understand that being tall and jumping really high is quite useful.

The good thing about the game is, it doesnt require a whole lot of actual basketball knowledge. It's mostly 95% dealing with personalities and making the right decisions.

The most you would need to know about basketball is what each position does. Point guards are mostly passers and defenders. Shooting guards are just what they sounds like, they shoot and try to score. Small Forwards are halfway between a shooting guard and a power forward, they should be able to score and defend equally. Centers are the primary defenders and rebounders around the hoop, they're usually really tall and heavy. Power forwards are much like centers, only they are a bit more offensive-minded.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Hondo on February 14, 2014, 09:56:52 AM

Oh, and usually you want at least two of each position on your team. A lot of guys play multiple positions, so you may notice that someone is a PG/SG or a PF/C, etc.

Hey guys. Was wondering if you could do me a biggie. Since Kirk is new to the game and has limited knowledge if it, could you do the biggie of sending him scouting reports in his starting five. I don't need to see them but it's help him long term i think. It'd be nice of all y'all. Don't be a dorling, be a hondo.

Post by: Kirk on February 15, 2014, 02:46:41 AM
I asked Ty because I saw him mention scouting reports on the players a couple of times. I can see their present status in the spreadsheets, but I figured that any new GM in real life would get access to the team's scouting reports once they took over. I don't see how else I can properly assess the team or make good decisions about trades and drafting. I figured it was something that everyone looked at when they took over a team. If not, I'll try to get along without them.

Kirk, that is how real GM's would take over a team, but in this game the scouting reports your team has access to are the ones the GM requests using PR money. Other GM's may have scouting reports on the players, but they are usually reports fit for that particular team. They do give you general information on the players though.

Have no internet right now guys. At the on base library right now.

Fortunately, I can access EFK at work, but only if it's slow enough to hop on.

Not sure when I'll be getting net again, but for now, the spreadsheet(s) won't be updated until then. 

It shouldn't effect my FBL activity too much, but I'll probably a little slower than normal.

I get that there should be some fun and mystery to some parts of the game, but this was really a minor thing that I wanted to see if it could be done for the sake of not totally wearing Danberry down over the course of the season.  If it could, I'd just get it done.  I know Newton's shit but he's the only other player on the team with the size to play the position.  If it couldn't, I could just shrug and move on.  The fluff was fine at first, but when it gets to the third time I have to ask on a minor issue to get an answer on something I can/can't do all it does is annoy me.  Same thing happened with Sales last season and it could've been avoided with him simply saying he didn't want to negotiate the second or third time instead of dragging it out for half the season until I gave up on it entirely.

I barely got one free agent last season with more having some sort of a preference for coming to Virginia.  He was one of the preferred ones, but every time I tried to go anywhere near anyone else it was a no go.  I'm not expecting any different this time around.

You only went after one though Reya, you can't be complaining when you only went after one. You asked your coach about the orphans and bad awful bench players, but you didn't ask the agent. You didn't go after players that were interested in you outside of Peters nor any others but you admitted you needed players. Pittsburgh wasn't on Bael's interested teams, but he signed anyways.

The one free agent I got last year, I don't think he had Providence as a preferred destination (can't remember). Some of them might be more inclined to go with preferred (see James Grant with Kentucky), might just depend who you ask.

Reya, if you're needing a big next season I'll likely be looking to move Chavez so I can make room for one of the guys that is interested in Texas.

You only went after one though Reya, you can't be complaining when you only went after one. You asked your coach about the orphans and bad awful bench players, but you didn't ask the agent. You didn't go after players that were interested in you outside of Peters nor any others but you admitted you needed players. Pittsburgh wasn't on Bael's interested teams, but he signed anyways.

The coach discouraged me from going after them so I didn't talk to the agent, then who I wanted to go after next was already to the SL by the time I got to them.    The players that were interested aside from Peters (Weeter is the only other one I recall off the top of my head) were fairly awful themselves.  I stopped going after players when it became apparent that all of the ones left were either terribly awful or had gone to another team either FBL or SL.

I'm sure I'll look when it gets to that time assuming I still have a job, but as I said I'm not expecting anything different this time around.

It has the most effect on people who haven't decided whether to re-sign yet, but as a general rule the stronger a team's performances, the more attractive it is as a destination to players.

And just cause they're willing to re-sign doesn't mean they can't have their heads turned by a good offer from a good team.

Preferred destinations, however, tend to come less costly and with less aggro from agents.

The only place he ever left a "decent" foundation was Birmingham, but in hindsight, he really didn't... with the $4 million PR hit he left behind.

The GMs that take over typically need two seasons to turn the team around.

A good foundation?  I got there and I had Findi Muwama and Clarence Marx and a 4 million dollar penalty, which I accepted because I left one of those behind in baton rouge lol. I gutted that team and rebuilt it, and then I left a good foundation for Digger with James, Sorensen, Kolo Rolo (who got flipped for Pebbles) and Ty Williams.

In seriousness though, I had the chance to leave Hollywood a couple seasons back when I lost Drummond/Hayes. Got offered a job and a trade deal to take, iirc, Allen and Beast with me. Turned it down because the rate of people actually succeeding with those 'leave and trade' moves is extremely low. People have done historically better with clean slates.

But moreso done better with some stability.

I would still be in Birmingham had I not gotten irritated with the game and decided to sit out the rest of the season.

I was investing too much time into the game, thus getting irritated when things didn't go my way, so I decided to leave for Texas to get a season off, basically.

In the time off I re-evaluated how much time i put into things (not doing hrs of PR gfx for no reason, not doing 5 different spreadsheets, not refreshing the page every 5 mins when Ian is/was online) and now I can enjoy the game more. Texas is my last stop, I want to be here for seasons and seasons to come, but if I get fired I'll likely just bow out for a while.

If they had kept the starters from that team or at least four of them you would've had one. But instead the team got gutted before you got there.

Nothing, really.

If you fire a coach, you're responsible for the duration of their contract and it comes out of your PR budget.  Although, if you force him to quit, you are free of his contract, but your team morale/reputation with other coaches will take a hit.

That and there is absolutely nothing out there coach wise.  You'd be better to stand pat and wait it out.  Shaw may not be an excellent coach but he's not batcrap crazy.

You have two options.  You can play:

Team ball or focus on a few (scoring; you can either have the majority of your shots come from your best players or evoke a team strategy, where the shots are equally distributed)

and

Mostly starters or a team rotation (playing time; do you want most of your starters on the court and risk them wearing down over the season or do you want to use your bench more frequently to make sure your stars stay healthy as the season goes on).

I'm sure others will chime in with something more substantial.

Just don't pull a Franchise and run the "Tree man offense" - it's pretty rough.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on February 19, 2014, 09:29:18 PM
Strategies are:
Focus on a few (basically only let your stars touch the ball)
Team ball (spread the ball to everyone)

Minutes are:
Play mostly starters (just like it sounds, the bench mostly stays there)
Rotation policy (the starters get ample rest, spelled by the bench)

Pretty much.

A double double is getting in double figures in two statistical categories. Whether it's points, assists, rebound, etc.

Same principle for a triple double and the rare quadruple double.

Uh... no.

Those (the grades) are given out to help you set your lineups, figure out who is worth investing in, etc...

Why would the coaches be like... yeah that dude sucks, he dropped a full letter grade? It just doesn't make much in-character sense at all.

I'm guessing your response will be... "Yeah, Davey has also been struggling in math. We might need to get him a tutor."

Maybe it's a closed door meeting among themselves, or maybe I'm operating under the thought that the meeting won't take the entire week.  Probably the latter, though I'm sure I'm probably wrong.

From what I've understood, I could train him but it wouldn't have good results.  I chose to train him despite that and made it clear when I locked in.  I now want to know that the training actually happened or if it was simply ignored.  If it happened, I'll be more than glad to move on.  If it was ignored like I have a feeling that it was, it's probably going to end up in one or more people being fired...one of them being myself.

At this point, I'll probably be fired regardless.

It's going to happen anyway.  The writing already seems to be on the wall.  If it's not over this it would be over the team being near the bottom of the conference with terrible backups on the bench that can't even back up all of the positions (assuming the training didn't go through).  It's really just a matter of when it's going to happen, though I'd wager sooner rather than later if this keeps up.

In the short run, probably not.  Newton's a terrible player at best and whenever he's on the court he'll be terrible.

In the long run, it can make a difference.  Not having him be able to play center means that Danberry never leaves the games and that over time can lead to injuries/exhaustion/etc. that can have an effect not only throughout the season but potentially in seasons to follow.

I haven't been trying to put energy into it.  I was just trying to see if I could do it and then just get it done.  Clearly it's been more difficult than that.

Even when I move on from the training thing I'll still have to deal with the fact that his coach threw a water bottle at his head and people showed more concern for the water bottle.

I want someone with the size (6'11" - same as Danberry) and the training necessary to play the position to play it.  Newton is the closest available option.  I don't want to play a small lineup with my 5 best that aren't Danberry with the tallest of them being a mere 6'8" power forward that gives up 3 inches in height at least to other centers which will result him getting scored on constantly and in 20+ point blowout losses for the team.

Isn't that the sort of decision your coaches make during the games? If you have a good coach he'll pick the right guys to rotate into positions. If you keep pissing him off, he's more likely to make the oppisite choice just to spite you.

This is the same coach that walked out on Mississippi last season and apparently mows the lawn in his speedo.  He's more likely to continue berating/bullying/throwing things at Newton than to properly coach.  Also, he's already pissed off

Quote from: Blade on February 24, 2014, 07:36:27 AM
Reya, I don't understand why you are still pushing it. You were given a straight answer.

It should have happened before you locked in for training camp, you can't do it after.

I don't know why you can't let if go? You were given an answer, now you carry on digging. Just let it go.

That wasn't a straight answer at all.  Just because I could do something before doesn't necessarily mean I couldn't do it when I asked.  That's why I asked in the first place, and have been getting the run around ever since.  Not to mention in here alone I've gotten varying interpretations on whether or not I can do it now, which has only further served to make me more confused about it.

This is what I want to do.  Either tell me flat out that I can't or do as I requested.  It really shouldn't be that difficult, yet it's gotten to the point to where its become more complicated than advanced mathematics.

Besides, Newton is barely trained to be a BASKETBALL player.

Well, look at when I signed him and look at who else was available.  I'm surprised some of those guys were even able to talk let alone do anything else.  Plus they're mostly crazy.

Like I told... you might as well should have gotten a Flips guy. At least he would have been a cheaper sack of shit. Plus played Center.

You really should have done it prior to locking in for the postseason. Just because it has been done in the past, doesn't necessarily mean Ian is going to ALWAYS allow it. It's kinda like... you made your bed... and now you have to lie in it.

Just move on from it... it's not worth the headache your going through to save Danberry from getting a minute or two of rest.

My coach is going to do nothing and collect money and my team is going to be terrible regardless.  It matters little what I do, so I guess I'll just lock in without doing anything other than answering the questions.

Unlike the character I attempt to portray, I can't always pretend that it's all sunshines and rainbows and hope that things will be great when things are clearly all going completely to shit.  I tried to make the best out of an already bad situation and all it's done so far is make it worse.  Now I'm trying to make the worse situation and not make it even worse.  It's becoming the equivalent of trying to fight against being sucked into a black hole or something.

It's just getting tiring. You were the one that signed Newton, you were the one who didn't train him you are the one that let a good player go to the super league because you didn't want to deal with the headache rather than trade him to someone in the FBL that would put up with it and got something for it. You hired the coach that's going to collect the paycheck and continue to throw things at Newton.

Sorry, it's just frustrating to me that you're being down on everything you've done because it hasn't worked out.

Sorry, it's just frustrating to me that you're being down on everything you've done because it hasn't worked out.

It's just as frustrating to me, but what else was I supposed to do?  Fight Dorling over Class (which I would've lost), either keep Manic and deal with more looniness or trade him to Franchise (who needs less crazy players, not more to begin with...also he had little to give in return), sign Twat Features (who is a total twat), or train Newton at a position knowing absolutely nothing about him?  None of those things would have had a positive result either.

I'm just trying to play the hand that has been dealt the best that I can.  I'll admit that I had a better hand than before I discarded a few and took a few bad cards in return and that that's part of the game, but you can't expect me to be happy about simply having a pair of deuces when I know most of everyone else at the table has at least a slightly better hand.  I know I'm going to lose, it's just a question as to how badly and whether or not I'll lose all of my chips in the end.  I'm holding out hope that I'll be able to hold on until the next hand, but with each passing week that hope is probably going to dim more and more.

It's not easy being positive about it and I try but sometimes it's difficult and throughout most of the postseason and so far during the regular season it's been difficult.  If you'd rather I not discuss it at all, just let me know and I'll just keep my thoughts to myself.

You've been like Eeyore since you realized you were not going to be able to get the players you needed.

At first it was fine, I know this game can get frustrating at times. I have my own moments of poor ol' me. But it's time to cheer the heck up and try having a positive outlook. This is a game for goodness sakes. It's not like your about to lose your real life job. Or your significant other is going to break up with you because your FBL team did poorly.   

I play this game because win or lose Ian has provided a platform for us to be entertained. I laughed at my own misfortune... but rather then dwell on it... I moved on. I learned from my mistakes and I got better.

If you're not having fun playing it... then why play?

This is why despite Franchise never doing well in this game... Ian let's him continue to play. He always has a positive attitude and outlook. If he was also this mopey, oh man... we'd all hate him. But we don't... instead we laugh at his wrongdoings and deep down hope he succeeds.

I'm not trying to be mean here Reya, but don't go full Chris Shields... this is the time you do want to go full Franchise.

So, lost in all this pointless advice giving Hondo has run off his Coach for like the second time in 3 seasons (or two season?)... Hondo, how do you over come these things that would cost others their jobs?

All I'm going to say, there's a method to the madness. I'm not going to give anything else away.

Yeah.  You make Byways question his skills.

Then you make your captain question Byways.

Then you make your Assistant question Byways.

Then you make the team question Byways.

Then Byways quits, and you don't eat any money.

It's just as frustrating to me, but what else was I supposed to do?  Fight Dorling over Class (which I would've lost), either keep Manic and deal with more looniness or trade him to Franchise (who needs less crazy players, not more to begin with...also he had little to give in return), sign Twat Features (who is a total twat), or train Newton at a position knowing absolutely nothing about him?  None of those things would have had a positive result either.

I'm just trying to play the hand that has been dealt the best that I can.  I'll admit that I had a better hand than before I discarded a few and took a few bad cards in return and that that's part of the game, but you can't expect me to be happy about simply having a pair of deuces when I know most of everyone else at the table has at least a slightly better hand.  I know I'm going to lose, it's just a question as to how badly and whether or not I'll lose all of my chips in the end.  I'm holding out hope that I'll be able to hold on until the next hand, but with each passing week that hope is probably going to dim more and more.

It's not easy being positive about it and I try but sometimes it's difficult and throughout most of the postseason and so far during the regular season it's been difficult.  If you'd rather I not discuss it at all, just let me know and I'll just keep my thoughts to myself.

I'd have traded for Manic in a heartbeat. No jokes.

Reya, legit, being fired would be the best thing to happen to you. 

Get a new team when someone else gets canned, get out from that shitty coaching contract, and start fresh.


I know leaving your first team sucks, but in the long run it helps everyone because there is no way the VA owner keeps Spots next year with that deal, and balance is SLIGHTLY restored to the FBL-force.

Meanwhile you land in either Texas, Seattle, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Colorado, or Anchorage.

Instead of saying over and over you're going to get fired just play the game and find out. Seems like we're covering the same old ground here.

- Reya makes miserable comment
- Someone tries to offer advice
- Someone makes a joke
- Reya ignores advice
- Reya blames Dorling
- Reya makes miserable comment.

I've had coaches stolen too (well, assistant coaches), I've had players demand trades, players refuse to play, players get smacked over the head so they have an imaginary friend and keep trying to pass to him and causing a bazillion turnovers, players inexplicably dump their lady friends and become shite and guess what...I kept playing. I even had the sinister forces of FBL head office add 6 years to Shack's contract when I only agreed 3. I won 2 championships but Hondage gets Bennett on 2m deal and Blade gets Shack on 10m and an owner that brings him the best free agents - as reigning champion I didn't even get anybody on the free agent list wanting to join my new team, nor did I get an owner that signed anybody. But I kept playing, because it's fun and these are the challenges Ian has thrown my way.

So I stole your coaches. It's what I do. It was your choice to play the game in character and not want to steal somebody elses coaches, leading to Spots' big contract. If you're going to play the game in character, then don't keep moaning about the consequences out of character. It's a game, just chill out and play it.

Or go full Shields and have an epic meltdown so we can at least enjoy it!

Yeah, I let my real personalty get in the way of the game when having to handle decisions. If I could have kept my Stallions team and worked with the Dragons, Id be up there with Hondo and Dorling surly record wise.

I will say without tooting my own horn I can arguably build the best teams (easily had to rebuild the most with the Nest-gate (IMO my Season 7 Stallions one of the best teams in history lost OJ McLoo, Kamill Bennett, JJ Rogers and Hans Stimar , Mays-gate losing Reggie Jones and Malcolm Hayes) in the FBL.....but Im also the best wrecking ball at destroying those teams. Bascially learning you cant assume anything ever in this game, especially with player discussions.

Just got to sort out the latter and Ill have a fancy thing in my sig soon enough lol....but welcome to the club for the time being Panch.....lets just hope Justin successfully joins us this season.

BREAKING NEWS...CHAVEZ KNOCKS OUT LOCKS DURING STALLIONS AND WAVES GAME

Frustration on a poor start saw Jesus Chavez take it out on well groomed ham hands bench player Silky Locks by punching him out in the dying minutes of the 4th quarter during the game against Puerto Rico. The Stallions had already ridden a tidal wave straight to the glue factory when Chavez lost his cool during a time out and smacked Locks into the stands. He was ejected from the game and Locks was taken to a nearby medical facility. Coach Art Smith said the team would deal with the matter internally.

"We cannot tolerate violence during a FBL game, however irratating the recepiant of the punch might be..."

Chavez will be suspended for Week 3 games with the Stallions receiving a 500k league fine. Locks will be back in action wearing a protective face mask.

I am totally committing more PR to Jesus when he gets back to have a "Chavez Appreciation Night"  where we put Silky in a dunking booth and all the fans can throw softballs at him... erm I mean the target that dunks him in the booth.


Fuck yeah Jesus, Protect the faith brother!

Men, we are on the cusp of something great here. Last week we got two wins including defeating the reigning and defending FBL champions the Wolves. This week let's get two more against two teams that have winning records. This team still continues to get no respect from the opposition. It's time to give them all a wake up call that we are for real. San Diego's GM was cracking jokes about cheeseburgers as it relates to us in his press conference this week. Let's make him and his Seagulls choke on a cheeseburger this week just like the seagulls at Sea World on a daily basis when we beat them. Tempe has started off undefeated. Let's make a statement and end their undefeated streak. Let's show the entire league that we are exactly what I've been saying since day one, the most underrated and under appreciated team in this entire FBL. Last season the Glaciers was all about two players with barely any contributions from the rest of the team and was as cold as the weather here is. This Glaciers team is eight men deep and can compete with any team in the FBL. This is a team that is playing as a team and that's why we are having success. This is a team that is inspiring the entire fan base with its play. I'm very proud of each and every one of you. Let's show the league that this team is for real and show them that winter is coming for all of them...Go Glaciers!

I think I've drafted a friend in. He's also on FFL but hasn't been on EFK before. I think he still needs to be approved for registration before he does some research on FBL though.

Hi that's me.

I've had a quick look around to see how this works and I'm pretty interested in actually playing it. So using my usual strategy of picking whatever looks coolest I'd be happy to take the Nashville Venom.

Oh, Welcome new guy!  Ask for advice if you need it, but don't listen to Hondo, he'll swindle you out of all your valuables and make you think he's your buddy! (he has championships to back it up).


Don't pet the Pancho, and don't trade with Metro.


And never go Full Franchise or TyTy, because that just ends badly.  I know because I've done both.



lastly, yet most important (even more so than the old "HAVE FUN!")  NEVER EDIT A POST IN THE GAME THREAD.  It will spell certain doom.

Yeah, I read it like he was benched, traded, played from the bench and then after the second game, has gone AWOL.

I read it that he disappeared after the week.  The team was counting on him to give a lift off the bench like he did in Week 3, but now you will not have that to look forward to.

You can trade them if the other team accepts, but if the new team doesn't sign him to a long term deal (or the player signs as a FA somewhere else) then the other team is SOL.

You can trade whenever. But any trading will not go into effect until Season 16. You will also have to protect any players you trade.

If you trade a player on a one year deal, the team you trade them too will be responsible in negotiating a contract extension.

That's the option I've been thinking about. I'll have 2 million PR next season when I'm not paying the league fine anymore, but I agree that the PR figures for the players are far too high. The problem is that their salaries are too high as well, so even attempting to negotiate down their PR won't be easy.

Their salaries and PR are the main reasons you ended up with a lot of them. The coaches salaries are high. 6 mil for an AC is definitely high.

I realise that. What I meant was that I could possibly give them more salary in exchange for less PR. I've still got space there to play with. The problem there is that I could end up having to offer close to 20 mil salaries to players who aren't even worth 15.

It's still early in the season, so I'll have to see how things go. I'll review the situation again during the all star break. I've got a young enough team and nobody in their final year, so it might not even be an issue.

Again, you read it as, which means its wasn't clear.

All I asked was essentially for clarity of his position for next season, nothing more nothing less.

I needed to see what my starting lineup was gonna look like for trades, ect. Having Free want to start next season would change my plans, as would having him staying in the 8th.

No interest in Mark Black. Usually what is said in the gen news is something to consider talking about before you lock in. I read it was Free saying he had no desire to return to full time minutes, the bit in the story that said:

"No doubt though GM Cory would love to get more playing time out of Free who could be a real difference maker to the Calgary season"

Brought the context that Free was talking about this season. I needed clarity for what we were doing next year, and i guess I got it, losing all the morale my average team had gained. Perfect.

QuoteMichael Free has made it very clear he would not entertain a move back to a regular role with the Thundercats.

It doesn't say this season which, to me, meant Free wanted to stay as the player coach until he retired from playing.

Sorry for not being completely on the ball atm.  My Mom is back in the Hospital and have been driving back and forth.  She's ok at the moment, they put another Stint in her leg.

But, she's bitching about the Drs and Nurses being "mean" to her by chewing her out about smoking too much.  Kind hard to deal with, as I'd rather chew her out for smoking too. 

Smoking is causing most of this shit.

BREAKING NEWS...SAMPSON CAUGHT IN PYRAMID SCHEME

Country Sampson is now bankrupt after investing his money in a pyramid scheme to build pyramids...in a forest it was revealed last night. Sampson parted with oodles of cash for the deal which sees a lot of sand pilled up in a local forest which he then had to pay to have removed. A local resident said.

"He is quite...the dumbass"

Sampson has struggled most of his career to make intelligent decisions and the journeyman big man now finds himself without cash to fund...life.

I know you've taken note about just how bad this team is doing on the court and I think there is something that you can do to really help. The guys on this team really look up to you, and if you were there to offer up your leadership I think the guys would perform with more motivation.

What I'm saying here is that all this talk about Libre has to come to an end. You want Libre to regret giving up on you? Go out there and give the performance people will be talking about for the whole season! Go out there and give this team a reason to compete! I know you're capable of it Muku. We just need to give it all we got now.

With all this pyramid stuff it makes me think that Brick Rulla might secretly be related to Ozymandias from The Watchmen.

It's a pyramid scheme. It's MFX's Hulk Hogan. And he runs pyramid schemes.

It's not a type of offence, it's not Ozymandias.

YOUR COACH IS A SCAMMER.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on March 20, 2014, 01:51:23 PM
Gotta be Dorling, he has 2 banners in the sig. department....I got none, gotta be more hatred for a winner....right? lol

I think my hatred in part is I've been around since the beginning, more seasons to piss people off IC.

But as to me and Dorling, Dorling is the Peyton Manning (should have more championships based on his record) and im more.... well the Philadelphia Eagles. Historically good in the regular season/good teams, I've had my "dream team" with Texas, and have failed in the playoffs and have had the team blowup (Terrell Owens, Dream Team)

What? Why would I dislike anyone? What kind of person do you take me for, guys?  We may have had a few "incidents" in the past with a few general mangers, but flat-out hating someone just isn't Christian! Even Dorling, who has had issues with us and our coaching staff in the past, I don't dislike him. Most people might think I do, but you'd be wrong. At the end of the day, it's just business. I don't need petty grudges to drag this team down.

Q6. Is Jack Hondo not the most evil GM in the league?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on March 20, 2014, 05:39:08 PM
Q6. Well I mean, look at recent events. He hates his star player Bishop, and Coach Byways paid the price. Hondo has instilled such a culture of dictatorship and fear in the Hayseeds organization that the man who was leading his team to a perfect record was tossed out onto the streets, where Byways and his family will probably starve and die, because the Hayseeds breed such co-dependency on their players and staff that once they leave the organization they forget what it's like to be responsible for themselves. This is the GM who organized the death of former Coach BJ Winchester because he accidentally crashed a gift tractor Hondo gave him. You know how Hondo is, if you don't love his gifts like it's your first born, he will feel disrespected and come after you. You remember that time GoGo led the Hayseeds to a title, and Hondo in turn called him a selfish man for taking all the credit. I dare you to name a GM that is more evil than one Jack Hondo.

Long live the empire.

BREAKING NEWS...MCCOOL REMAINS SILENT ON RELATIONSHIP WITH GM

Rumours of a fire being lit under the backside of superstar Stallion, Krease McCool seem to be just more than whispers now as the main man and no doubt the key to any Texas success this season refuses to speak on the upper management model of the organization.

"Aint for me to comment, I am keeping myself to myself, speak to my agent..."

GM Talon has privately been highly praised for breaking the relationship, unhealthy one, between McCool and Owner Cowboy Bob Starr as well as his hardline discpline on Jesus Chavez which has meant the stable...is very much in order.

CREDIT: GREG KAIRNS
(http://www.efedknights.com/FBL/players/columngregkairns.jpg)

Then Talon said in his press conference that he was going to speak to Krease and His representation.

So I was the only one who read that as Krease telling the media to talk to his agent? I see it now, but bah... pretty weak IMO to have my AC bail on his project.

I think the problem was that Talon addressed the report at all. Krease made a pretty clear no-comment and it didn't require a response from the GM. He could have dismissed the story and made sure that it didn't become an issue. That's my take, anyway.

A lot of coaches seem to have picked this week to throw a fit. Not just at the struggling teams, either. Does that often happen in this game?

It's the end of the 4th week ... it's just that time of the month.

You've had Mack Ryan for 4 weeks and not a very good rep.

Jen has had X for quite a few seasons now and a good rep.

Well if you take a closer look it's not too too surprising. Coaches have their own personalities but no one likes it when their gm is short or aggressive with them, especially when it's not the coaches job or they already answered the question

QuoteKai's a foster child and he's turning eleven. FOSTER CARE ENDS AT ELEVEN. Now he must compete for a spot in an exclusive orphan boarding school. Hundreds enter the Orphan's Pyramid. Few reach the top. It's not so bad at first. He's given what every eleven-year-old boy wants: an endless supply of television, video games, and junk food. But the moment he finds a hidden message from the mysterious Barbeque Captain, he realizes there's more at stake than just school admission. As he moves up the Pyramid, the danger increases. A mutant squirrel, a chainsaw-wielding puppet, deadly chalupas, cyborg cockatoos, two man-size rabbits, one plus-size Queen, and several kabuki-masked middle managers are nothing compared to the shocking truth Kai learns in the end... Is this the solution to America's Foster Care Crisis?

This is where the game becomes subjective, for example, my coach this week refused to give an opinion on something where as others this week have asked similar questions and had responses. Their answers were usually not particularly helpful - but again that depends on who you are dealing with and what the question was. In my case, I am taking it as part the coach's attitude/part lack of respect due my inexperience as a GM/part misinterpretation of what I was asking.

There is a plan with my response, but it will most likely fall flat on its face.

I disagree, I think he's played it perfect. The bond between Cowboy and McCool is now broken. Hi unmotivated coach has walked. Talon sort of did what I thought was the impossible. Now he has a chance to build the team he wants.

He also had McCool playing the best ball he has in quite some time.

While his approach is a bit scary as a GM... Sometimes when you show no fear, good things can happen for standing up for yourself and the franchise that you represent. Most people, myself included, would have been content with the way the franchise was working instead of having the guts to make change.

Not gonna lie, it's all luck.  I just told myself at the start of the season I was going to go for whatever, take it and try to roll with the idea of discipline. 

Then got some advice from another GM who told me to keep on with it and to stick to my guns.

...this week I thought I was cooked and it was all going to explode.

I can't do anything in regards to filling player or coaching vacancies until the offseason starts.

In any case, if it were me doing something I can assure you that Nick Shaw wouldn't be first on my list for the head coach job.

BREAKING NEWS...POWERS IS OUT IN GREENVILLE

Clever puns to oneside, there is growing speculation that GM Powers might be soon feeling the bite of the barking Greenville management and shipped off to a farm somewhere...never to be heard from again. Powers has lead his team to a disappointing 2-7 start this season with critics feeling he hasn't built the team. There is light however as Bismarck have been alerted to the problem. An insider noted.

"Bismarck really want to do a deal with Powers and a few players to make them a force next season...can you imagine Powell and Majoe...or Huir and Yabla..."

Will Powers take the bait or will he continue to ride out the tough times in Greenville?

I have a hypothetical question: If a coach is on a 3 year, $9mil contract, how much does he have to pay the team to buy himself out of it? Or how much does another team have to pay in compensation if they poach him?

Because if they're good, they're worth having under multi year contracts, also stablity.

They tend to only walk away when you piss them off.

Didn't you hire Moses Franks in the first place to a long contract? And then to a long coaching contract?

I do feel for Reya though, not only is he on a 10m contract, he fired Duece so that's another, what 4m hit? How many years was the contract?

I'm active now but that activity level will be pretty unpredictable for the next while (probably past september). On top of everything else, it'd be unwise for me to commit to anything until I get things sorted out on this end. (elaboration.

I could be fired and out of the game any time, its no secret.

But your old coach is rocking my colors and Ive 100% support from the owner, So plink away about my first season ending like so many others, and then taking a better job after a solid start in Birmingham, which set the stage for Digger's foundation.

I opted to leave a team and not rape it, which not many folks do.

But that's just me, I also took Birmingham beacuase they had the same 4mm penalty I racked up in Baton rouge. Figured I'd take the same burden I left my previous team.

Don't know how he messed up in Birmingham, he left, was not fired. He had a good team set up and left because his coach didn't like Charles Munsen enough that it affected his job.

If that's what sends me out the door, then maybe Tampa wasn't a fit for me after all. I'll roll with my punches accordingly.

On the database, it says that Sven Morgason is a C- coach. Is that accurate or left over from Nick Shaw's time at the club?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on April 08, 2014, 09:27:50 AM
Probably left over from Nick, last season in the SL was Sven's first year as a coach, so I'm not sure if we saw his grade.

You can check the free agent sheet, as it has the coaches and their grades listed as well. I'd look but I'm unable currently.

I don't understand why Rip Wa Winkle and Jon Teas are still at their teams. They are causing so much damage to the rest of the players that it must be worth it to buy out their contracts and send them on their way. You'd be better off with 7 guys on the roster than those two causing so much havoc. I can't imagine you pay them much.

I've got your back. Give me a bit.

Also, Kirk - rotating players really doesn't happen very often in FBL and it's even less common only halfway into the season. The only time I can recall it being to a benefit was when two of the Aces (under Blade) who were quite old and getting news stories about getting run down sat out for a week, and they were pretty much a dead cert for the playoffs.

Basically probably not the best idea when the playoff race is this tight and there are only two games between 1st and 8th.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Kirk on April 12, 2014, 07:18:01 AM
Ah, I'd have thought that would be key to maintaining success during a season. I was bound to make a few mistakes in my first season. I'm comitted to it now, but I'll keep that in mind for the rest of the season. After the poor performances in the last couple of weeks, perhaps a change will shake the team out of their slump...or make things much worse. I think I've cocked up my protections as well. I should have stuck to not doing anything.

I would have easily protected Finkle over Hardaway.

Next season you have Plains and Cunningham on contract years... and you keep calling Plains best defensive player in the FBL... which means he's gonna want Yabla money now. And Cunningham is gonna want Creed money.

Having Finkle gave you some wiggle room that is now gone.

You can find a competent 6th man... cheap bench players are few and far between.

Next season you have Plains and Cunningham on contract years... and you keep calling Plains best defensive player in the FBL... which means he's gonna want Yabla money now. And Cunningham is gonna want Creed money.

Having Finkle gave you some wiggle room that is now gone.

You can find a competent 6th man... cheap bench players are few and far between.

But this is coming form the guy that didn't want to pay Marx... >_>

Valid points, but my bench has been my achilles heel in previous seasons, probably costing me at least one championship if not two.

That thought actually crossed my mind. But my answer to myswlf was he came straight out of high school and has put up ok numbers in his first two seasons but has a real chance to evolve into a great player.  So that plays into my philosophy of keeping one eye on the now and one on the future.

I thought Randle would have been expansioned, if I recall his scouting report, he was forecast to not really improve, but Im not sure if Justin had that report. (came from one of the expansion teams that year).

In the end though, Justin's rep is still strong enough to net a decent bench guy cheaper than he'd go to a team like mine or anyone with questionable rep, he'll be ok.

It would make sense if Tempe wasn't filled with young guys playing incredible basketball. They're young they don't need the rest

They were playing incredible basketball until two weeks ago when their numbers dipped dramatically. I put that down to mid-season fatigue. Guess I was wrong. Hopefully my changes don't screw me this week and I can calm them down after the break. It was a rookie mistake I won't be making again.

I don't remember Ian posting anything about this, but do we have to do protections before free agency?

Cause like... mine are sort of contingent on whether or not I successfully sign anyone, so if I don't have to I'd rather not send them in until after free agency.

Then how will people know if your players are free agents or not?

I havent seen anything but I assumed it was to be done before.

Why should you keep all the cards in your deck until you are satisfied?  Let the others see them!!!! lol

Post by: Jennifer on April 16, 2014, 07:40:36 AM
None of my team's contracts are expiring though. Not protecting people means that they are available for SL to sign (or expansion drafted) - it wouldn't make any difference to the free agent market in my case (plus, if contracts are expiring and haven't been renewed, the players could be signed by other FBL teams regardless of if they're protected or not).
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Justin on April 16, 2014, 08:17:29 AM
Just because you leave them unprotected does not mean they will sign with a SL team, just that they could. So if you sign a free agent and those you leave unprotected stay put then you have a potential shit storm.

I could use some help if anyone is interested.  After talking with Jen, Bone, and James in the EFK Chat yesterday I have decided to write a column based on statistics and how each team fares against the rest of the league in terms of the different team stats and also give an opinion on what directions the teams should go in during free agency and the draft.

In order to do this I need to compile the team stats for every game thus far.  I've gotten 10 teams done so far (Bears, Wolves, Waves, Greenhornets, Volcanoes, Glaciers, Toppers, Aliens, Steamers, Dragons).  I could use help getting the remaining 18 teams done.  All I'm doing is tallying the team stats for each game as well as how much their opponent scored against them each game.  I don't need the team they played, just the points. 

If anyone is interested in helping I will give you a bushel of broccoli.

QuoteA Florida woman is recovering after being attacked by bears who had ambled into her open garage and were sifting through her garbage cans in search of food, sheriff's deputies said Sunday.

The woman said as many as five bears "of various sizes" were rooting through her trash when she walked into the garage, Seminole County Sheriff's Lt. Pete Brenenstuhl said. The bears "dragged her from inside the garage out into her driveway," leaving her with scrapes and cuts to her face and legs, Brenenstuhl said.

The woman escaped and ran back into her home, where her husband called 911, he said. She was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission Lt. Jeff Hudson said the woman had an "encounter with a black bear," but could not confirm the reports of multiple bears being involved in the incident.

The Saturday night encounter came the same day Florida wildlife officials warned that black bears and their cubs have started moving around in search of food after winter. The agency urges residents to use bear-resistant trash cans to prevent incidents like Saturday night's.

"Now is the time to expect bears to show up looking for food," Dave Telesco, the head of the wildlife commission's bear management program, said in Saturday's advisory. "If they can't find food in your neighborhood, they'll move on."

TJ, if you want to GM my team so much, why don't you apply for the job when I get sacked. Otherwise, keep your clever remarks to yourself.

Reya, laugh it up. At least I made it to week 7.

TJ's just saying that there's consequences for every action you take.  You took that action and now you're paying the consequence.  It happens.  No reason to get upset with him.  He's taken bad actions too (see Caleb Toom last season).  It happens to all of us at some point.  He's just trying to keep you from falling into pitfalls that others have fallen in.  He's trying to help.

As for me I was just as surprised about it as you probably were.  Also, I did make it all the way through my first season and into the playoffs.  Every season's different though, as I have found out somewhat the hard way this season what with the offseason mess and then the whole Davis Newton thing...yeah.

Hell, my first year I told my backup PG to sit tight and stay the back up... when that happened my starting PG got hurt, then I had to let the the little back up fucker (who was now pissed) come in and start, and it wasnt long after I tried to trade the brother of my coach, leading him to quit, then I got fired for signing my new HC to a deal that put me over the cap... leading to Rebel stealing my job.

WOW, now that I think about that, WTF was I thinking?!

I wasn't gloating. I would have been gloating had is been the benefactor of your moves. Really, if anything I was making a "I sorta said this would happen" post, which a lot of people have done when someone makes a move they don't agree with. That's just my way. I do the same in fantasy football baseball and basketball.

Was I trying to help? No. But I wasn't trying hurt. I'm busting your balls it wasn't like I was trying to steal your coach from underneath your playoff team causing you to throw an all time bitch fit.

Good signing for Las Vegas.  Damore at $8m is a steal.  Great job, Blade.

And wow, Rhys asking for $16m?  He's probably worth it with the cap rising but that's quite a leap from one season to the next!

See, I got flak for trading Krease for Huir and Jurgasoon, but even if I need to give one a raise (which would be unwarranted currently) that deal gave me a starting and bench big man, both affordably priced AND the money to go overpay for Reigns.

I wanted Howard initially, but decided I'd rather get young bigs who have a year of Dorling's uber coaching staff training them up, and if I can keep my job for a change, I can develop them.

On note regarding expansion teams which again has been floated about. I really need to clarify the following:

1. Is everyone happy to return next season
2. Is Dorling returning or leaving
3. I have only Tauras who has PM'd me expressing an interest in joining FBL. We need to fill all 4 teams as well as replace any vacancies made by people leaving the game.

Just so you guys know, I knew that I was going to lose those week 7 games. I had a plan to quietly trade a couple of the players and talk the others round. It's those 40+ points that broke me. After that, there wasn't even a quantum of hope that I could turn things round. There was no indication from either of those games that those players would ever play for me again. Even the guys I gave a chance to played likethey couldn't give a shit. That's why I lost it (plus the chinese guy in thr seat next to me spitting food all over the floor).

Yeah but now there is no SL team to scoop them up so they are still on the team. Sure you can trade them for picks but their contracts are rather ugly.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on April 18, 2014, 09:44:02 PM
Well to break down what actually happened.

My original protections:

Rhys, Blair, Shakers, Beast, Ford, Sanders
(Owale and Tena unprotected)

'Oh I'll trade Blair and keep Shakers'

Which was revised to

Rhys, Blair, Beast, Ford, Sanders, Owale
(Shakers and Tena unprotected)

'I'm trading Blair, can't afford to keep Shakers' (as of coming up with my plan to get Howard and Thomas)

Which THEN became

Rhys, Beast, Ford, Sanders, Owale, Tena
(Blair and Shakers unprotected)

'With that Rhys deal I can't afford the trade I was going to do for Blair'


If I'd say, sent in my second set, I would put myself in serious cap trouble when Rhys's renewal came in at way more than I was expecting to pay - and I would have just dropped a budget player, making finding that bench filler even harder.

Basically, I just don't like playing cards that I don't actually have to play, just for the sake of getting them out of the way with.

By dint of being my captain and at-the-time not thinking I had any better options.

I wasn't expecting to land both Howard and Thomas (the latter wasn't even on my radar until right before free agency). Bear in mind that the albatross of a contract aside I didn't really have much way of getting anyone better and was already in the midst of replacing Blair, who is older and actively declining.

I think he's saying that should there be an expansion draft there would be a second round of protections, which she would most likely leave them unprotected for to dump the contracts without any penalty.  Or something.

I would say proceed with caution in that regard, I near enough forced Chart to quit but the owners weren't so thrilled with that. From the outset it seems that it would be better to get rid, but his team is performing decently (compared to previous Hooks seasons), so I'd say there isn't an immediate need to try and force out his coaching staff and entirely screw up his season in the process. Which, if we're truthful, is highly likely.

Dallas should make a great coach though, so I can see why you'd want to bring him on board. If anyone has any interest in Specks, feel free :P Then again, Corbin might not be my biggest fan.

But Fredricks doesn't want to play for him, Hughes is ok.

Both those guys are on expiring deals which means he can sign whoever he wants next season and not have to worry about being over the cap if he is late to protections.

Both guys are going to be on their fourth team in three year. That doesn't tend to help development.

Plus, who to say Cory will be there, yeah these moves are nice, but he still got news story saying the owner may have to make a move at GM. Are they enough to save his job? Maybe, we'll see. Calgary looks pretty average, at least to me, with Fredricks, Hurtz, Hughes, Olicha, Blake Terry, and Billy Hanger around Tarbla. But that's just me. If it doesn't pan out, odds are he gets fired, and he just screwed the next GM out of a 1st round pick in S17.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on April 25, 2014, 10:04:54 PM
My thinking, to make it a win win.

Watchen has better value, 1/2 price of Fredericks with closely comparable stats and still is 26 next year...can develop, but Fredericks wants out, and fair to assume he has a higher ceiling to grow over Watchen.

Huir is still effective...I had him as a band-aid from FA....on a decent team can pull 7-10 boards and a few steals, plus brings some needed starting experience that Tempe didnt have last year.

My S16 1st woulda been a shot in the dark...had no AC to give me reports...so wasnt really all the valuable to me.

I've wanted Hughes since I scouted him a few years back, thats where I give up the most in my S17 1st....but I think Hughes will develop into a star....so giving up two 1st rounders is tough...but I think it'll work out best for me and Kirk trying to save our jobs... I bring in two guys who can be stars hopefully is enough to keep me till next year.

....plus I have a deal this year with Flins to land me a S17 1st anyways.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: The TeeJ of Philly on April 25, 2014, 10:09:32 PM
I don't know about Hughes being a star

Day can/could score and that's about it. More than can be said for some first round busts. Secondary scorer rather than someone to pin the franchise on, though. A young Day would be all right value for a 1st if you didn't have a high pick and/or didn't have much information to go on.

Way I see it, with play-makers and a positive team around him Hughes has shown he can put up 16-20 a night, keep him paired with the front court of Fredericks and Hurtz who are both good passers, plus Hangor in the bench has averaged like 7 assists a game.

Need to make a move for a center....gonna see if I can land Krakovic from BD...maybe even try and enquire about Shakers Lee....but way I see it, gonna have a very solid team next year with a perfect combo of experience and talent at the right price.

My 1st round this year was a shot in the dark...Free didnt give me shit on my reports and I only needed a center. Outside of Buck Fisher who will be gone top 3....a pick I wouldnt have a chance if theirs expansion teams....I wasnt risking picking a bust, really that pick tho high, have very low value to me as a pick...high value for a trade.

- Fredericks needs stability, but reports had him as a back court general
- Hurtz is going to be up there in age, my only worry is a drop in his stats...but could move him to 6th with his PG/SG position...but on a good day hes good for 14pts, 7-8 assists @ 4 million, plus experience.
- Hughes I believe again with stability and will develop...15-20 points...nice contract @ 7 million.
- Tarbla is a monster, franchise guy.
- Need a center.
- Thinking Terry as 6th man....if his stats dont drop off too much he was hitting double digit scoring a night...thats all I need him to do with Hangor in the 7th....where he was with Anchorage and got 7 points, 7 assists a night seemingly. Then my 8th is Olicha, my former 1st round pick who just needs time to develop.

I think i'll be alright.

Yeah...figured that was the only downside...but its not like I was a playoff team winning every night and just killed morale...was already pretty low. Banking on the fact that he wasnt a long standing captain/franchise guy....this was his first year to minimize the impact.

I needed to "throw a hail marry" tho.....because just bringing in Huir and Terry wasnt enough to keep my job....but bringing in two former 1st round picks with lots of upside I think should be viewed as a positive move in game from my owner/coach

I think i'll be alright.

- Terry is hitting double digit scoring as as starter with Cam Drake and Joe Reed on the team.
- Olicha is going to go from starting to being the last off the bench, he going to say "Why do I need development now? I was good enough last year..." unless he's one of these rare guys.
- Hurtz is old and when you get get old, good days are few and far between.

I mean I like the trade, I like Lyle and Hughes, I just think you overpaid for them.

And it'll be viewed as a positive move in game if it translate to wins, which you're owner already gave you one extension, I don't think he'll give you a second if it doesn't work out.

You're thinking ahead but what about this season? You may be gone before you get to GM the players you've brought in. Low morale will probably go even lower which won't help you out currently going by what the owner said in the General News.

Seriously though, this is the truth, but I don't think his owner will give him an extension like he did this year, especially when the general news last week was trying to get people excited for basketball in Calgary.

BREAKING NEWS...JOHNSON AND HULL FOUND TIED IN LEATHER IN BONDAGE CLUB. GREENVILLE FANS PRAY FOR THEIR SOULS

A team outting with Yablo Yabla with rookie backcourt Flem Johnson and Cameron Hull has gone a bit wrong when the two were found tied up in leather when a fetish club was raided by police for suspected dildo smuggling. Coach Willie Davies who tends to overlook the eccentric behaviour of Yablo Yabla seemed less forgiving with his rookies.

"What the f*ck! Only leather these boys should be wearing is leather sachels carrying their damn playbooks in..."

Yabla was not at the club as it was rumoured he left earlier. Operation Dildo Heist was considered a major success for the local police, but Greenville fans have been left outraged by the news on their rookie players.

Still a top ten pick. And a shot in the dark with top ten projections are still better than no shot at all.

BREAKING NEWS...SQUIRRELLS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR PR LIMIT BREACH

Have the Tempe Flying Squirrels been in breach of YET ANOTHER PR cap problem. Given a 2m fine this year for GM TyTy's poor finances. It seems that filed reports indicate Tempe are now at 27m dollars this season...

"Fredericks, Falls, Barnes and 3m on scouting, plus the fine and the coaching contracts it would seem there is a problem..."

GM Kirk will be quizzed this week during the press conference. It is expected that they will be fined heavily next season and forced to sit Barnes or Falls for the rest of the season in Tempe.

It's just a press story. I have spent 750k on scouting (which I got from the cheaper coach contract). I scouted 2 players currently in the league, so that would be 1 mil even without the discount for scouting a team I have a relationship with.

1 million PR - cost of an indepth college/international prospect player analysis and assistant coaches verdict on fit within team.

250k - cost of scouting a player on a team you have formed a relationship with. You must cite your relationship with said team when doing so.

Whats the relationship?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Kirk on April 26, 2014, 10:35:47 PM
I didn't scout any prospects. I scouted two current players. One was from a team I recently traded with (which hadn't even gone through and has been cancelled). I've had 1 report and I had 1mil in cap space. I didn't push Tempe over the cap. I guess my request for a report just gave Ian a new idea for how to heat things up in Tempe.

Well there's your issue. If the trade wasn't official that I believe costs you 1 million, I know Metro had asked about non-amatuer player scouting in his thread and didn't get a clear answer. If you scouted anything else besides that, you went over. I'm just trying to figure it out because when I read it I was like, "Kirk knows about the spreadsheet, I know he's looked at it per the Nick Shaw stuff"

" To scout a player will cost 500k unless you have a relationship with the team in question i.e. have made a trade with them in which case it costs 250k for a scouting report. You must cite the trade you made in order to make it a 250k report."

I checked with Ian about the cost each time before I confirmed the request and even if I was mistaken, it doesn't add up to 3mil. My guess is the owner or one of my coaches did it.

Donno....looked at my team after being only able to bring in Huir and Terry in free agency, pretty average....looked at not having any scouting at all for the draft....and looked at the news story saying something needed to be done in Calgary to save the franchise.

I had to make a move before it was me getting fired was the only option....and I'm just not pleased that I firmly believe that was a good deal for Calgary and I still got canned.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: The TeeJ of Philly on April 27, 2014, 10:27:20 AM
You traded a probably top 10 pick, a future first (which will probably be high because you're going to be an average team in the west) and two players who are decent and got back Lyle Fredricks, Hughes, and two second rounds from a team that will be just as average at worst. Add that to the botch job of your offseason where you brought over Michael Free to start, then named him your player coach because you were "holding out" for Ian to reward you for not rushing, followed by asking Michael Free to return to the starting line up when he said he didnt, gave Jesse Cole 5 million to be on your bench when may be worth say 3.

you didn't just push that button you Five Star Frog Splashed it.

All I know is whoever takes over, needs to make it clear to Tarbla that they know what they're doing because he's that good.

I'll be serious and just echo a sentiment I had last season, as long as they people are committed as much as we are.  Rather have the 28 or so we have now than 32 with the last four being questionable.

Ian could just proxy a team like an auto lock if were one or two people shot...still would add 2 more people to the game and we can carry the teams over until the next season. Might be odd with the draft/expansion...but could work if we cant find two more people.

Oh, no doubt. He's said that the 28 are guaranteed jobs for next season, which I believe is why Taurus went for Baton Rouge. Worst case, the last team will become a scramble if we don't get two more.

Very slim.

Not necessarily in your case per se, but in this game, the wheel can come flying off rather quickly.

It gets that hot over here in the summer, which is why I run back to England in July and stay there until it starts to cool down again in September. I can't deal with that sort of heat.

No, don't get me wrong.  I was trying to rip off a comedy skit I saw, yet can't 100% remember where.  I think it was Key and Peele.

Extreme paraphrasing as a barely remember it, but one character starts out

"It's real simple all you do is.... " then he explains whatever he's explaining.

Then the other with a real confused voice is like "Wait, you mean, all I do is...." then he says the exact thing the other guy said.

The first case was resting players. This is replacing someone who has been playing like shit all season  and is off to the SL at the end of the it. Keeping things the same hasn't worked, so what else can I do? I was asking his opinion, not forcing a change on him. Am I supposed to sit back and just watch my team lose every week?

You basically crushed morale when you messed things up, hence why you're losing games. Unfortunately for you, it's probably irreversible for the remainder of the season.

Just sit tight, less is more right now.

Then rebuild in the offseason and go from there in Season 16.

Preview edit...

Right now, you haven't really established much of a relationship with your coach... and from what he's seen so far since you signed him... he probably isn't too high on what you've done. So that is something you'll need to work on slowly, usually by winning games.

I'm on my netbook while waiting for my Dad to be release from the Hospital (fairly routine surgery, plaque removal from Carotid Artery won''t get out till Wed) and I HATE typing on this thing.  Small keyboard and a few keys you have to push harder than normal to get to work.  So I won't probably do FBL stuff till I'm home.

the apostrophe is apparently the one key that really want's to be a bitch.

I think Breaker was brought in as an assistant and Huir went to Tempe as part of the Fredericks/Hughes trade.

But between Fredericks, Hughes, Yabla, Tarbla, Powell and Terry, that's already 70.5 mil right there if my math ain't wrong.

Like the call, personally, and on paper that's Calgary's best team yet. Just gotta work around the budgeting while not sacrificing dat quality.

If I was Cory, I'd challenge that trade as soon as I took over the Bulldogs. Powers essentially traded with himself so it's a conflict of interest. It's worth a go anyway as the chance of stopping the trade has got to be better than sitting back and watching your crown jewels getting traded in exchange for mediocre players and a 2nd round pick.

Oh you know what your gonna do :p

Id say Hughes is trade bait at this point. Decent numbers but without looking at stats, Id say he's the least bang for the buck of those guys. Terry is someone I'm high on, 15ppg off the bench will attract many offers no doubt. Other than that... I haven't been paying enough attention to know much of the others this season.

Post by: Kirk on May 16, 2014, 02:48:19 AM
What are incentives? I'm trying to figure out what Greenville have got at the start of next season and it doesn't seem like very much. As far as I can tell, Powers traded out/released 5 players and only brought in 2 (mediocre) ones. Greenville have both their draft picks and Brimingham's 2nd round pick. They have 1mil in scouting and incentives from Birmingham.

So 3 spots on the roster and 3 picks (2 second round).

Is all of that right?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on May 16, 2014, 03:31:33 AM
Greenville has 4 draft picks this season (1 First, 3 Seconds - their own, Birmingham's, and Calgary's). Next season they have an extra First via Anchorage.

Incentives is basically a gentlemens agreement between myself and Digger regarding scouting reports. That's more a personal thing between players, rather than teams.

Roster wise they have Hull, Johnson, Muwama, Olichia and Hurtz.

I'm still going through the team to see who's worth keeping and who I could get a decent trade for. I think Tempe would have been easier to rebuild, but I somehow managed to make sure I won't be the one doing it.

I've just got to remember not to rest anyone/give the players the hairdryer treatment/suggest lowing a player's salary. I still don't like the idea of kowtowing to the agents, though.

Post by: Kirk on May 17, 2014, 04:27:17 AM
I know I've asked something like this before, but I think it's now lost in the depths of the OOC thread: What do players in each position do? I'm confused because they don't seem to do the same thing from team to team. For example, Yabla plays SF and is a defense beast whereas Barnes played the same position and is a pure scorer.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Flins. on May 17, 2014, 06:13:03 AM
In terms of this game, it really just depends on the ability of the player. But generally for each position you'd be looking for:

Point Guards - Assists, Scoring, Leadership, Steals
Shooting Guards - Assists, Scoring, Ball Handling (no turnovers), Defensive Rebounding, Steals
Small Forwards - Scoring, Ball Handling, Offensive & Defensive Rebounding, Blocks, Steals
Power Forwards - Offensive & Defensive Rebounding, Blocks
Centres - Blocks, Offensive & Defensive Rebounding, Scoring

That is a really general outlook at what you'd want, obviously certain players offer more and there are varying ways for players to be effective scorers and defenders, but without FG%, 3PT% and the such in the statistics, we can only really go off scouting reports and coach feedback in that regard. Which should be enough to go by.

With the SG's and the SF's they tend to be the more versatile players, which is why you will get out and out scorers and lock down defenders. I don't think there have been many players in the FBL that can do it all like Jordan, Troy Marshall is the only example I can think of, but I don't know my FBL history as well as some of the other players.

Not sure how helpful that is but I'm sure some of our American cousins can add a little more insight into the game than myself.

So Guards are offensive and Forwards are defensive?

Not always. It's just more common for a guard to be more skilled offensively than a big man. They are usually better shooters.

What do people mean by the term "lottery pick"? I keep seeing the phrase used but I don't think I understand what it means.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 17, 2014, 10:21:09 AM
Basically if a team finishes outside of the playoffs they are entered into a lottery for who gets the highest picks in the actual draft. The lower the overall finish of the team the better the chances they have of getting a high pick, but it's not guaranteed.

Hence it's a lottery pick. A team could finish just outside the playoffs yet end up with the #1 pick if they got really lucky.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Kirk on May 17, 2014, 10:30:31 AM
Ah, I see. I just assumed that the worst team got the first pick and the best got the last one. This bit of information changes the value of some of the trades I've been looking at.

It's more the backcourt (pg Sg and sf) play around the perimeter and the front court (PF and c) play closer to the basket. And guards can be just a defensive as forwards. My pg is a solid defender who sometimes plays better than solid d. Ty Williams and Leon dreams and Clint dans berry are offensive big men.

Things to know.  Others will add to this, I'm sure.

1 - NEVER edit a post in your team thread.  EVER.  Bad things happen.
2 - Be good at math.  If you go over your budget, you'll get penalized.
3 - The characters you will interact with have hyper-inflated personalities.  They can get extremely irritable over the most innocous of things (spelling their name wrong for example).

Read some of the threads t get a good idea about what to expect, while we all want to be successful like some of the top GM's in the game we almost always have lapses in judgment and find a way to screw something up. Don't take it to heart and enjoy the game for what it is...a game.

This isn't the NBA, so expect the unexpected and be ready for the smallest of errors to be blown up to epic proportions due to egos and attitudes the size of Texas.

As far as what to do for your team first, get ready for the draft Ian set up for the expansion teams and start looking at coaches. you're going to want a good pair of them.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Have a look through the Tempe thread to see how quickly things can go bad and how not to fix it. The Waves thread is another good one for that (and was handled better). I've picked those as the best recent examples of a GM's decision derailing a season.

Also, buy kneepads and lube for when you have to deal with agents.

Hey everyone, Alex has talked to me about filling in as the GM for Reno in the upcoming season. I've spent the past 30-40 minutes reading through some of the pages, and trying to get a handle of what's going on, but as long as you'll all have me I'd love to get involved. I like what's been put together here.

Looking forward to it.

Noticed a mistake in the draft order. Specifically the 10th pick of the 2nd round. It currently reads San Diego --> Puerto Rico. According to the FCD thread, it should be:

SEASON 16: SAN DIEGO (2) -----> PUERTO RICO -----> PITTSBURGH -----> TEMPE -----> CALGARY

Sorry if this has been addressed anywhere else, but once the offseason begins will expansion teams be able to use their PR budget to scout the 8 prospects, or are we doing it blind just off the position/pictures and hoping for the best.

Also, thanks for all the help you guys have been offering/providing via PM, it's much appreciated and making the game much easier.

You may want to scout those rookie free agents that came out on the free agent PDF.

Protip: Free agents highlighted in a color are not actually free agents. The ones at the top of the list all play for International teams. Same deal with the coaches. You want the free agents with no color.

Yeah, I gathered that looking at the spreadsheet from this past season. My only question is why Chris Thomas and Jason Howard are highlighted on this list while being in the free agent section. Does that mean anything?

No because as I keep pointing out the new teams will have 8 players to choose from all of which will add value to the franchise...

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on May 27, 2014, 01:14:22 PM
I believe it is the 8 unbiased reports teams get when there is a full blown expansion draft.  The cost of scouting is 1mm per person, so 8 reports = 8mm theoretical dollars.

That's how I read it, but I figured long ago there was no free-report giving, and in a pool of 8 players to choose from, all should be at least serviceable for a new team to build with.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: FXBlade on May 27, 2014, 01:30:13 PM
I know Raven was on about trades in the trade thread, but personally I would build a team this year and not even contemplate anything to do with draft picks in s17.

You may not get THE best team this year, but you get 2 valuable guys. You may not have the greatest of seasons, but with 2 decent guys, and 2 highish draft picks next season, you can get a fairly decent team next year as I can't see 4 more expansion teams being added.

Just food for thought, but don't start messing with those draft picks for s17. Assemble what you can and survive this year, it's not as bad as you think
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on May 27, 2014, 01:55:19 PM
I think Cory meant to Scout the available free agents, not the 8 players available to only the expansion teams.

To that I can't see why the 4 teams couldn't use their pr for season 16 to scout free agents once they get assistant coaches

Yeah, Ian I was referring to the new free agents you added. I doubt you added MORE Flips players...but with maybe half of the FAs (not Flips players) having history, the other guys are shots in the dark.... was just wondering that with the 8million that expansions usually get for draft reports, we could use it on the new free agents/un-drafted players.

That's my point bro this is the right amount of commitment. You should aspire to be like me. I sent a player to his death and a year later, threw my best player at the time under the bus, ran him over, traded him away, forced my coach out and made the playoffs the season after.

Yeah. This season is over for most teams, including the Waves. It's pretty obvious that the contract is intended to start next season. I doubt Ian would be that cruel. On a side note, I can't believe people are paying their players that much money. Nobody is worth that, no matter how good they are.

Market value.

He's an MVP-calibre player who scores almost 30 points per game.

Cunningham decidedly is worth that if you've got the right team set up around him. If it's between having an A+ grade player at 23 million or not having an A+ player are you genuinely saying you'd rather have two guys maybe at the B, C+ mark if you're lucky for the same price?

I have very few advantages this season. The ability to act quickly right now will probably be one of them, ha ha.

I didn't see you were looking at Corbin too, but assumed a bunch of people would be. He was more important to me than Ray, honestly, I just thought it would be weird to approach an assistant when your HC job was open. You approached him first, I offered slightly more. You have an established team, I have a shiny new big man prospect. We'll see who he gets back to.

It's not like I have other options to spend money on right now. There's one key FA and my two draft picks, then a bunch of filler pieces. Plus, you got in touch with SP first, it was a hail mary on my end.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 29, 2014, 07:15:37 AM
I guess it depends on what you can afford to spend... it's daring when you don't know what the 'bonus draft' guys are gonna ask for though.

It also has the potential to drive up your own prices... agents are forming opinions of you right now, bear in mind, as to what kind of negotiator you are.

I suppose, but thats a killer influx in the market, Valentine is worth 5-7 million, MAYBE 8, your offering a million a point per game who isnt too great passing the ball..... safest PG out there...but I donno, scared me off, time to go after my backup Johns.

Considering there are 2 PGs left in this draft, and you dont really know what ones are gonna fall yet, risky business.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on May 29, 2014, 07:21:35 AM
PG is also by far the most abundant position in the league. A good centre is worth more due to the rarity of strong big men. PGs... unless they're elite shouldn't really be earning the big bucks. Still, it's all about assessing his worth to you, so if that's what you're willing to drop on him then that's your decision.

That's very valuable advice, and I appreciate it.

I want the key players that I need to want to come to me when I need them. Sometimes I'll overpay, sometimes I'll catch a break. Right now I have a wide open salary cap and only a couple of guys I really need to land quickly. That's a price not many others will want to spend on Valentine, because they don't need him like I feel I do. Once the initial dust settles and a foundation is in place I'll be much more selective about putting together the team.

As for the rest of the market, valid. It'll have a ripple effect, but he's a veteran, he's been a multi-season captain, he's safe, and he's better than most of the other FA's I could find info on. I'd like to be competitive, and without access to many elite players I have to put together as many pretty good ones as I can under my budget, maintaining room to move forwards with. I still think I can do that, unless Ian sees all of this and decides my rookies want Creed Jackson money out of the gate, lol.

  • Expansion teams panicked and signed awful guys to too much money.
  • People over paid a wee bit on some players over taking a flyer on the unknown players
  • The #5 pick got traded so much, Ian stopped keeping track the the S16 picks
  • Talon took Nick Jenkins with the #1 pick and stuck to guns and did not sign him to 20 million
  • I signed him
  • Rebel gave up Money Bag Griffin for Bernie Bells and a pick



The Expansion teams/money thing is true. JR Valentine got 10 million when his agent had asked me for either 6 or 7 during the season.

Super league guys are under contract with their teams... you have to trade with the SL team to get them.

In a two round draft and one of the only true down times Ian can get to be like "I'm not terribly needed, if work gets busy or something along those lines, it's alright"

That and 12 hours to select a first round pick? And if you don't within that time, you forfeit that pick. Basically that's saying, at least to me, "Shame on those of you that have lives where things that carry great importance happen. "

It's me and I was at work, had to be there at 7 and didn't get out until after five.

So...sorry.

And that shows exactly why the 12 hour limit is impossible, not only that but.. I'm not allowed to have anything with internet access -or- camera wise at work and out on the floor.  Which means if I wanted to check on FBL it would have to be on break or on lunch, and frankly, I only have 50 minutes off of the floor per day..

I'm against a 12 hour limit. 24hour should be the very least if one is considered (though I'd be against that, too). Just be patient and wait your turn. I'd never use a proxy anyway. The situation could change completely by the time your pick comes and I wouldn't want to be left with a player I didn't pick personally.

People need to relax.  It's a lot to run this game, so whenever Ian gets a bit of a break, it is well deserved in my eyes.  We've got people from all over the world playing this game, so time zones are for sure an issue.

I know that we love the FBL and can't wait to jump into the new season, but there is nothing wrong with a breather between seasons as well.  If the draft takes 4-5 days, then so be it.

There's no reason to have a limit.

I really don't care about the time... I was sort of joking about it.

But on a semi-related note... the speed of the draft has no bearing on Ian really. It's not like he gets a break with all the other chaos outside the draft is ongoing... trades... contract extensions... coach signings...

But I don't think anyone here is in a serious rush.

But, seriously... I'm about to make this time limit 4 hours if you all keep it up.

Out of curiosity, how does scouting another player in the league work? Do I have to publicly request info on that player in my team thread, and get a report back, or do I PM someone and just state in my thread "I'm spending 500k PR on a scouting assignment" so that everythings still private? Also, what sort of information do you get back on the player? Is it enough to make it worthwhile?

Please, help a noob figure this craziness out. Thank you.

Quote1 million PR - cost of an indepth college/international prospect player analysis and assistant coaches verdict on fit within team.

500k - cost of scouting a player on an exsisting team or a free agent in the league

You can PM Ian and post that you are scouting and how many players you are scouting in the confirmed deals thread.

Actually, you had him play the two guard when Shakers decided he didn't want to play in the final week of that season. You told him that he did a great job and asked if he would mind retraining to be a shooting guard permanently...

He was already trained at the position since he is a combo guard, and he he played well at the position. He never said he didn't want to play the position, he wasnt happy because you weren't paying attention and he lost confidence in you, not because you asked him to move to shooting guard.

Okay newb question -

Is the money that I am given, my cap... is that for one season or have to be considered for -each- season that one agrees to?

Say in my thread where McDuck's agent is saying 11 mil per season for 3 seasons.. Does that 33 mil go out of my cap?  Or just the initial 11?

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on June 01, 2014, 06:06:03 PM
11 million out of your cap for each of the 3 seasons.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rebel Child on June 01, 2014, 06:10:06 PM
But just effecting that cap right now? 

So say I had 100 mil for a cap.

It'd only be 89mil...

Not 67.

Just so I'm understanding correctly.

YES I do need a picture drawn sometimes!
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on June 01, 2014, 06:15:03 PM
You are correct.

The cap is $75 million. After McDucks $11 million, you'd be at $64 million.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on June 02, 2014, 01:33:45 PM
But how many of that are teams with multiple roster spots that don't even have picks and cannot get picks

Expansion teams cannot get into the Draft,  so take that out of the equation,  and take out all the complete teams that still have multiple picks they are not going to use.

Why would you trade picks from next season just to get a pick in this Draft that want going to be used anyway.

Position availability is a reason I can see as viable, but no reason to go into panic mode.

In regards to Black Death if he is up in the draft at any point he will have a maximum as you all do of 24 hours to make a pick. Gooch got screwed a bit because of the Colonel's no show, though the benefit is we welcome Gooch to the game!

Same for the draft. 24 hours to make your selection. If not...it's passed.

You could always (w/ the 24hr rule) do what NFL Fantasy does and do BPA and move on, kinda like an auto-pick. IE for BD, he needs a starting SG, so highest rated SG left goes to him.

Doesn't really work seeing as nobody knows apart from me what these ratings will be. If that was introduced there would be no need for scouting...I'd end up filling your rosters with the best pick from that position.

True. Looking at it, there's something like 27 roster spots from non-expansion teams with 37 picks left in the draft. Some of those 37 picks are held by teams with full rosters, teams that have already locked in, or teams that only need 1 player and have multiple picks.

From my eye anyways...

No, but BD missing the pick....I think its more about "punishing" I guess him for not being around/making prior arrangements before hand rather scrambling to make the pick for him when hes not here.

Just cause we all love him doesnt make him exempt from the 24hr rule we all abide by.

Id say hold your horses Ty until Ian at the very least gives an OK before you do anything and potentially make us have to redo draft picks if its not allowed. It'll be no quicker if we have to still wait for Ian to say its ok, and much more confusing when I assume he'll say no and we'll have to fix the draft.

It doesn't speed anything up to make a proxy if we're unsure if it's going to be accepted. Besides, if BD doesn't return, we'll be in the same situation in a few weeks anyways where the team is GM less.

Post by: Ty on June 02, 2014, 04:34:35 PM
When Ian comes on next, it'll have been past BD's 24 hours. I quickly weighed the options

Had I waited
If Ian said yes, BD forfeited his pick due to time, no harm no foul
If Ian said no, BD forfeited his pick due to time, no harm no foul

Had I gone ahead
If Ian said yes, BD gets his pick, no harm no foul and BD gets a benefit
If Ian says no, BD forfeits his pick, no harm no foul

So, either way, I'm cool with whatever happens. Just wanting to help BD out cause I noticed there was a where's BD thread and he hasn't been online in a while.

Again not really fair I dont feel anymore. I am just a big BD fan as everyone else, but the rules of this game are committment to it. He could have sorted this out with someone beforehand and hasn't. I don't see why we should second guess decisions he might make or slow the game up.

Looks like he already said no.

The main cause for concern is... Ian said 24 hours.

Now the person behind BD will have to wait until Ian makes a decision, because maybe that person wants said player you just drafted for BD.

Ian could just as easily be on in the next 10 minutes.

Yup. It doesnt help the situation at all man, just creates more confusion in the end. I'm sure BD appreciates the effort, but Ian already gave his answer on the issue.

Ty, your heart may be in the right place, but Ian has made it QUITE clear that it isn't gonna fly.  If BD doesn't come on in the next 5 or so hours, then he gets skipped and it is Birmingham's pick (or whomever they may have traded it to).  It's pretty cut and dry at this point.

See? Now spending $10 million on the only good PG this season isn't as crazy, especially when you had a wide open salary cap to play with... or maybe it's still batshit. I don't know. I'm sticking with it either way.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Cory on June 02, 2014, 06:27:54 PM
Valentine was the best PG and like me and Jenn said hes worth what your willing to pay, but he averaged like 6-7 assists a game, and that's about how many millions Id pay, for 10 mill you better be a double double PG.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on June 02, 2014, 06:28:43 PM
Ideally though, if your team pans out you dont NEED the 1st rounder as badly, and can replace whatever you might move/need with the second round.

Eisen has yet to be a gen news guy, and when he was 500K on Powers' bench (in MISS, I think?) he was decent IIRC.

---

Hannibal, I already told you I like Valentine, as long as he's not your franchise player, he's a serviceable PG, who again, is a guy I havent seen or recall being in any Gen News trouble since my first season in the league.

I'm just kidding on the Valentine front, just seemed like a good opportunity to jump in, ha ha. I've been pretty impressed with what Cory's done, and since the Konda move blew up in my face wish I had picked the expansion guys he had and kept both of them. Well played all around.

1) Its not punishing people to throw that in there. Please reframe from using that type of word to describe what is going on.

2) I have deleted Ty Ty's proxy pick

3) BD has 24 hours before the time stamp on the pick before to make his selection. If he doesnt then his pick is skipped.


Enjoy

Don't worry. There are about 10-11 picks in the 2nd round currently held by teams who can't use them. That round will fly by.

I couldn't proxy because I wasn't sure who I wanted. Was hoping the people ahead of me would take more of the players I was eying to narrow it down.

If thats the case I might pass on that $7 mil salary the second time around.  :P Let me know whats up. I'm good either way.

I went to the spreadsheet and see there are 20 or 21 slots still open until all teams have full rosters.
There are 20 draftees left.

So...the odds are ever in our favor to pick up rookies. Potentially one GM will end up with one of the FA's.

correct...but you could do something where you tell the team with the pick who to draft, and you then trade for said player. An extra step to essentially do a trade into this years draft,

Unless they are traded to you ie they are drafted by someone and traded to you or they become free agents after the draft. The rule is your not in the draft.

A lot of these picks were traded if I'm not mistaken and some might be since a few teams are locked in already so the order will be off from the PDF list.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Post by: GM Jimmy Gooch on June 06, 2014, 02:24:57 PM
From the Draft PDF, cut and pasted. Those who have locked in will have  Roster Full next to their team.

13 Boise Spuds -  Roster Full
14 Rebel's Dragons - Roster Full
15 Mississippi Steamers
16 Tampa Bay Dragons -  Roster Full
17 Baton Rouge Riverbandits
18 Montana Bears
19 Hollywood Stars -  Roster Full
20 Mississippi Steamers
21 Birmingham Greenhornets
22 Boston Bells -  Roster Full
23 Tampa Bay Dragons -  Roster Full
24 Portsmouth Defenders
25 Hollywood Stars -  Roster Full
26 Puerto Rico Waves
27 Honolulu Volcanoes -  Roster Full
28 Honolulu Volcanoes -  Roster Full

Steamers, Bears, Defenders, Greenhornets, and Waves are the only ones with picks left.

What trades have happened and can someone help update this list?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Gates on June 06, 2014, 02:29:57 PM
I have a much different draft list...I don't know if it was up to date with all the moves or not. My list has Roswell with the next pick? Metro trades too much to remember if he has the 13 still or not...

Based on what Gooch listed, Mississippi's second pick and Puerto Rico's picks will be with full rosters.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: T-Bonizzle on June 06, 2014, 02:32:28 PM
Rebel definitely doesn't have #14 as I traded that to Birmingham. I had that pick from the get go via Roswell. If Boise has #13 they pass and Gravedigger is on the clock.

He said he got it from the PDF, which is obviously the most recent one Ian had at the time.  We all know there have been a gazillion trades since then.

I know Jag has #16.

I just attempted to go through the trade thread and sort out the draft, but it is pretty confusing, seems to be a few points where people have traded picks that I can't see they have. That and no one really being consistent in the format they are posting picks, I can understand why Ian left us to our own devices with it.

But as T said, as long as everyone knows when they are up individually and what not, we should be good.

It seems to be just as often a GM pissing off their coaches or players that get them fired. I think someone will do something to implode their season before a string of bad results get them fired. Just look at Newtongate last season as an example.

Reya jumped ship, didn't get fired.

I just meant that GMs are liable to do things that impact on their careers much quicker than you might predict. It's easy to make one bad choice and then be looking for a new job. I'm not saying it will be Reya, but he managed to piss off his staff before the first ball was bounced and I'm sure it won't be the last time someone does that.

There's no doubt that Gates is under pressure, but I would be very surprised if someone else doesn't push the self destruct button before that pressure has a chance to build too much.

Well, if it helps (and if the 24 hour rule is still in effect), I believe Mississippi who was possibly #15 has missed their pick, so it's #16 now...which may or may not be Rebel/Tampa.

Well that's even more reason that the contract's valuable. Means you could afford to take on a bigger deal in exchange for a high salary relief guy in a trade, or go big in free agency knowing you have a cheap bench. I mean, if I had a guy on that type of deal I wouldn't have had to pick up Davis Newton...

Hmm, slight conundrum. Anyone think it is likely for Ian to respond before my 24 hours are up? Up in the draft, but I'm also trying to pick up Morales. I know he said he'll be busy with work this week, so just weighing up my options, don't want to hold up the game either.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on June 10, 2014, 07:40:36 AM
Just make a pick.

If you get Morales and have a full roster then your pick will just wind up going into free agency anyway.

In terms of the difference from the best team in the conf to the worst... yes, I agree. But argubaly the four best teams (on paper) in the West are in the South. Think of it like the SEC in College Football. Very top heavy. Where as the North is more like the Big 12.

$9 million for a player that was drafted at the end of the draft...

one I was surprise that he even was available that late in the draft .... two , I thinking he going to have chip on his shoulder for going so late after being projected a late first round pick  ... three , yeah i could have try to work a lower cost on him. but i did not see that need to because I have the cap space to pay him his asking price and still have enough left over. you have to pick your battles and think this was unnecessary fight here

Whoever has access to the FBL Sheet editing powers, my PR is wrong.  You need to subtract the cost for Corbin Dallas' jersey retirement.  So I'm really at 3mill left.


And that's where I goofed up in Brett's contract negotiations.  I looked at my PR budget and didn't see 3 mill.... instead I read it as 3K.  Hence why I told him no PR money left.....

AKA won't help him this season, where his co-captain and star player will be exhausted.

Plus this is the second straight year he's going into a season without a backup for every starter, last year it was Rina and there was a new story about it now it's his captain....should have moved him to one of the two expansion teams that don't have a C at all.

Biggest piece of advice after "never edit your posts" is always wait for your coach to reply after your media questions. Regardless of whatever is in the news. Just wait until after he checks in

So...

Gooch locks in without a center or even training a center.

Zeus locks in without a backup SG or SF to relieve his starters.

-------------

Tritch better contact Reya to trade for one of his big men. He can afford to give up one of them.

Zeus said the offers he was getting were shit when I talked to him on Facebook yesterday which is why he didn't trade, lol.

Gooch could've trained one of them to play C just like Tritch can. That is being overlooked in this entire scenario.

His bench is shit now, at least he wouldn't be running two of starters into the ground, one of which is his star player.

1) It's called negotiating, he can do that as well

2) two of his starters, unlike last year with one, and two that player where the better players play, are going to be gassed much of hte season and will likely cost him a playoff spot.

As for "ganging up" if people have an opinion on a roster or a move and voice it, why is it suddenly ganging up?

Thats what it looks like.  I knew he'd need to develop, but I didn't realize it'd be Gen. News worthy, and I dont think my team/line up was set up for a guy who needed to be eased into being the star player.  Very happy with my decision to just stand firm and let him walk.

Bingo. At least I hope so. He said Cordela would need to work on his upper body strength and a week later, he's putting up 9-13 points, 5-7 assists 3-4 rebounds and a steal or two.

Plus the scouting report I had was verrrrrrry bland in describing Nick.

Unless there are restrictions from the sim, NBA teams have plays designed for 2 PFs, don't see why the locked in teams couldn't do that as well. Case in point NO ONE is listed as a center on Jacksonville's teamsheet.

That would make sense except for the fact the actual reason why there's no one listed is because Jax doesn't have a center.

That sucks if I can't use a 2 PF system.

I will keep trying my best, but sheesh. Some of you guys should feel bad for the dishonest trades you sent. Some of you guys have been very helpful, for that I'm appreciative.

I started trying to turn chicken feed into chicken salad. I'm active and trying, which is better than some for our half month long draft.

But who knows, I bet there is a kind soul willing to trade a D- center for one of my B players and a first round draft pick.

Looks like I'll be running g 2 PF for at least a week...

Pancho never won a title but I bet he's got a good grasp of the game. Franchise has been around enough to know what not to do, sometimes the best advice comes from those who failed.

Doesn't matter how many provincial championships I won, trophies I earned or what my national rank was. You don't wear your medals on the mat, if you did they'd slow you down. The next medal is the best, the others are in the past. Don't fight for what you've already won.

I think this happens every off season after people have locked in...there's always the "backseat GMing" where people give their opinions and others always take it a bit roughly.

But it's part of the FBL...

Also to whoever (I think it was Hannibal) who suggested a beginners guide to the FBL like 10 pages back...I think the beginners guide is your first season. You'll learn a lot more playing then reading.

Don't sweat it Gooch. As an expansion team, your only goal is to build the franchise this season.

I've noticed I dropped a few points today so I figured I'd share this post by Dom since I'm of the same opinion on this subject.

Quote from: Domingo on June 15, 2014, 12:00:11 AM
And seriously, since I noticed I dropped a point, whoever smited me could do it until I'm below negative and I really wouldn't give a damn. This is a game, and if it hurts your feelings when someone speaks their opinion you might want to stop playing and go play jacks because you're taking it too seriously.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on June 15, 2014, 09:37:20 AM
Considering he locked in with Jamie, and he turned out to be a D, I'd fire Nerdstrom and fill the roster with the players left over from the draft. Unless there is only one, then keep Nerdstrom and fill the last roster spot. Chances are Helge is a better letter grade with potential to get better
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Steven on June 15, 2014, 09:40:33 AM
Yeah, I'll just move on with Helge. I'm just frustrated because I figured the trade never happened/lost an important part of the deal.

Is there a list of guys still available?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Flins. on June 15, 2014, 09:44:23 AM
Gurpet Singh (India) 6'9, 222bs (SF/PF)
Ljubo Babic (Croatia) 6'6, 200lbs (SF/PF)

These are draft guys yet to be signed.

Scrappy Dean and Bray Golding, I'm not sure if they have been picked up but the rest of the FA's are Flips guys.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on June 15, 2014, 09:46:02 AM
Singh and Babic are unsigned.

New Mexico has a contract ofer from Singh, but has not finished the deal. You're signing backups, and have two people at every position so any position players will work.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on June 15, 2014, 09:47:45 AM
Dropping Melvin and signing Bray may be your best move if you don't get both draftees, or don't want to undercut Tritch on the Singh deal.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on June 15, 2014, 09:49:15 AM
Novac ended up a B, and he was unsigned from Croatia. Babic may be pretty decent
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Steven on June 15, 2014, 09:53:43 AM
Tritch got to him first, I'll let that be. No need to extend this even longer. Thanks for the help guys! I appreciate it. I've been a little out of the loop in case that wasn't obvious.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Steven on June 15, 2014, 10:24:32 AM

That's just what every GM longs to hear at the start of a season. I must have spent 5 minutes laughing at that before I could think of a response. I don't know how Ian manages to give every coach such a distinct personality and come up with gems like that every week. It's why I love this game.

I wasnt one of them, but surly one of the deals HAD to be better than dropping a D+ at 5m (which he'll have to pay), rather than Wolfe being a D at 3.5 TO add a F rated player.

Learning curves though for Gooch.

I think what Boner is trying to say is, Mullet is an F rated Center. He's really not going to help your situation all that much. May make it even worse actually.

I had no choice. I HAD to have a center. I started with 2 PGs, end up not even having an opportunity to sign a Center. So, looks like I'll get an F center and take a $5 million hit. The fun is wearing off of this pretty quick.

To be fair, Conky should have been dealt for a center, not for an average player and 2nd round pick dude. But barely anyone has a good 1st season.

I didn't even have to sign any players in my first season and I cocked it up. I think this season is going to be a chance for you to get used to dealing with the press and your players. You can look to build from this in FA and next season't draft. I don't think there is any pressure on you to win, so don't worry about your line-up or the results too much.

Flins quit his job because his owner wanted Jag back for some reason; and I pissed off the super league and ended up pissing off my back up PG, my captain, my coach, and had a magician as an Assistant coach... after my coach quit (because I tried to trade his shitty and over paid brother to Providence for Malcolm Hayes) I signed a coach that put me over the budget, leading to my firing...

In a perfect world, that would've been great. But do you remember Conky-gate? No one wanted to make any worthwhile deals, I got one decent offer. I have some friends here and I'd run the deals offered by and they were like, "Those are terrible."

I'll go 0-fer this year and whoever got my first round draft pick gets a sweet pick.

At the end of the day, no big deal. But not being able to sign a center after the draft sucks. Starting off with 2 PGs and practically having to dish my draft picks to get other players sucks, too. I did what I could with what I had...and that wasn't much.

I can take my lumps and I normally don't gripe, but the deck was already stacked against me being an expansion team and was stacked even more by having 2 picks of the same position and then not having adequate selection in post draft. players.

I pissed off my all-star players by resting them and then told my whole squad that I thought they were shit. I never really recovered from that before I destroyed morale completely by trying to force Cabbidan Falls onto a lower contract before I tried to trade him away. I had a great team and spent the whole season tearing it apart. I dread to think what the squad would have looked like if I'd had time to make trades before the season started... I seem to be addicted to trading.

If you have to sign a Flips player, you're better off signing Issues. Mullet is undersized. I trained him to be a Center because I didn't have a center on my team last season.

There's no arguing that you had a tough start, but as long as you keep squad morale up and answer the press conferences sensibly, someone will gift you a couple of wins.

I don't know what the offers were, so I can't really speak for them. But in my opinion, you should've waited longer. There was no huge rush to trade Conky and once the rosters started to fill out, the teams needing a guaranteed PG might've been more willing to trade.

I messed up on my own spreadsheet when I went over PR cap by scouting one player too many which led to Cam Drake being benched during our round one playoff game and led to me leaving to Wyoming before getting fired.

I hired Mark Brown as Head Coach.

It was nice knowing "even if this guy is a pedophile from Mars, at least I know he boards with the best of them."

You could at least go for an educated guess based on what was implied in the tag line, for some of them anyways.

I do want to say something ...I think it fine to get your scouting in early but only problem I having is your not giving Ian any names . Your telling him you want to scout players , but you are not telling who the players are ...how can he make scouting report if he does not know to make the reports about... Ian could easily just send you say 5 blank reports and take your pr money because you never told him who you want the reports on and there would be nothing wrong with that because he follow your request to the letter .

just saying ... you know Ian does have that wicked sense of humor ...I can see him doing that

It won't change the report but it will change people's priorities. If I know a lot of people have been scouting a player, I'll draft him earlier than I otherwise might have or I'll draft him to force a trade/ make sure a rival doesn't get what they want.

i don't need to hide who I am scouting from any one and if I wanted to I could try to pick up someone's draft strategy just by following there  team thread and seeing how there team plays.

maybe when we were a smaller group , strategy matter more , but we are big group now... it think it best to try to build your team into the best team out there and not worry about there other guy to much . if you got the best team you are going to have a better chance at winning .   like I said it just my opinion

If you want to make who you scout public knowledge, then by all means be my guest. I love keeping track of it.

But I don't understand the criticism of keeping it between myself and Ian through PM. I'd rather not have anyone know who I scouted.

I don't have an issue with it. I was just surprised to see it happen so early. I don't really see any advantage to doing it early but I see plenty of potential problems. It people want to take the risk, it's up to them. If they want to tell everyone who they're scouting, that's great for the rest of us. I won't be doing either.

Basically Ian had said, the earlier you get scouting in, the more in-depth report you may get from your assistant coach. Of course, this also depends on who your assistant coach is.

Yeah. Plus you know he traded a player who went through training camp and for all intensive purposes wanted to be there. It's just a cringe-worthy move that harkens back to the Franchise of old. It's not like he made the trade for a superstar, he made a trade for a glorified 6th man... I mean, excellent job on Talon for swindling that deal.

It does. Talon gets a passer and I get a scorer. I think point production will be my team's downfall. Perm averaged more than Code did last season. It's a win/win for both sides. But if course it's a "bad move" apparently when I think it's mutually beneficial for both teams involved.

Just because his agent said Jacksonville would be nice doesn't mean a) there aren't other options and 2) his greivence is because the team he is on is "meh" he gets to a good team, or a team with promise and Tarbla is happy.

I don't believe his agent said he wanted to go to Jacksonville, I believe it was the man himself. Might be a bit different in the sense of what a team would be dealing with, even if just to struggle through this season.

I think he said "My agent has suggested Jacksonville."

Gen news stated his uneasyness was due to the lackluster team that was there and his agent suggest Jacksonville because jacksonville needs a center badly so it would seem so obvious a place for Tarbla because elsewhere would involve more pieces needing to be moved (or not depending on the deal).

What sucks for the teams locking in, like a Portsmouth, could offer Shakers and a first for Tarbla gives Calgary an expiring deal that is a lot of money to play with in free agency, an additional first rounder and a vet for Buck and Jargun to play with and in return you get an All-NBL PF that is still young.

So? Just because he's eating an orange and thinking about playing with King doesn't mean he won't play for another team that is a better, more promising team. He's agent has him thinking that because his agent know if he goes to Jacksonville, they have cap and they can renegotiate a better deal for more money especially with the Majoe contract...

But at this point, how much does it hurt Powers to trade Tarbla to the Juice for Patel who is on an expiring contract?

He could put Patel on the bench and move Jargun to the Starting PF position, and it does a solid for Gooch that needs a big man. Powers has no use for King with the backcourt duo he has that already has chemistry together, and he would need someone to fill in off the bench for the PF position when Rim takes a break or moves to the C position.

It hurts him a lot when I know for a fact three deals that send him quality players in exchange for a great player. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Gooch get Tarbla, but for what Tarbla can do, he'd be getting half of what Tarbla is worth and he still is expected to make the playoffs in a tough division.

What's wrong with that? Until insults are thrown around, I see no problem with it. Seriously can we only talk about how screwed someone is, congratulate people, or emphasize with someone's situation in the game?

Back to the debate, I'm just saying, everyone has made trades out of desperation and end up taking the first offer/the suggest offer (Franchise with Mississippi as an example) that the first time someone says in a team thread "Hey you're not going to Jacksonville because I'm going to do whats best for this franchise" someone suggests they don't have any other option but what was said, but there is more to every situation that if you're a team that is poised to win or is young and promising is a better situation than in Calgary, which is the root of this whole thing, and some GMs either are willing to put up with the consequences of trading for him/feel they have what will make Tarbla happy.

Oh, no, I was just wondering so I could brush up on my skills. That was all.

And to your point, yes, he could very well go somewhere else. A lot of other teams might have to move more to take on the contract which might ruin what morale the team has. Of course, there's also the option where a team thats not Jacksonville takes the risk and gets a half-assed Tarbla all season because he doesn't want to be there, and then he requests a trade to Jacksonville in the off season. Basically, anyone trading for him who is not Gooch runs the risk of not getting the value they should...

Or at least that's how I see it.

Like I said, I paid for the price of a first rounder and on the promise of a franchise player, much like I did with Cunningham. Cunningham failed to live up to said promise and wanted money a year ahead of his last year, to me, different scenarios.

You were forced to trade Yabla. Tarbla, in my opinion, was your own making. I still feel for ya, but you over-reacted to a flippant comment and it escalated from that. Better happening now than mid-season though. I guess.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

How do you figure that Tarbla was my fault? I asked how he felt, and he gave me the 'meh' comment. I asked what I could do to make him happy, fully expecting him to want a raise, and he dropped the trade bomb.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Flins. on June 23, 2014, 06:14:01 PM
I'm not saying it is entirely your fault, as the player has been unhappy in Calgary for the last two seasons. But, you pushed him on the topic, asked him a question, and his response was flippant but it didn't come across serious to me. If he truly wanted trading, it would've been a news story, and/or come up when you initially engaged him in conversation. If you had left the conversation at the 'meh' comment, who knows when he would've decided he had had enough in Calgary. Again, not entirely your fault, but you weren't forced into trading him.

Hughes over Fredericks?

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on June 23, 2014, 11:19:53 PM
Do you have a compelling argument as to why 1 is better than the other?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Gates on June 23, 2014, 11:34:46 PM
The only one I can think of is Fredericks has been a captain the past two seasons. Might not be the best, but he's at least got experience in the role.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Kirk on June 24, 2014, 12:14:36 AM
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that Fredericks will be too happy about Hughes being captain considering it was the other way around in Tempe. Fredericks is a touchy player as well, so I wouldn't expect him to just accept it happily.

Honestly didn't realize that he was Captain in Tempe.  Oh well, new start, new city and all.

And it's not like I am likely to survive the season anyway.....

Ian deffinitely seems to have decided to give some GMs a challenge this season... although Franchise's situation is all his own doing (I thought I was addicted to trading but he's shown what real addiction looks like).

I realise I've been very critical of other GMs in ny game thread. It's not meant as OOC criticism. It's all been said with an IC purpose and isn't just being said as cheap shots or to be an arsehole.

The reason fredericks was captain was because his scouting report said he was a leader. Hughes' said nothing of the sort

I had a peek at each of their reports, and the ones I saw said nothing about leadership for either.  *shrugs*

That'd be hilarious. Question, would Blade have to resign due to conflict of interest? Or because it's your sister in law and not in blood, he's cool, because if so, dibs on Flo Payton, y'all can have the Vegas job, I just want to go with the Flo!

I hate the deal as much as the other 20+ GM's, but I don't blame Franchy or Reya or BD... Because if you can afford to do it... then why should you care what others think. You're not trying to please the other 31 GM's. You're just trying to please one owner.

I actually liked the hire Franchy. It was bold and it worked, you didn't have to go around begging other coaches to come to Anchorage, your first pick worked out. So, don't let the man drag you down. Sure, you overpaid him, but you had plenty of PR space to do that and make sure he accepted the deal.

While unproven, I do think Worthy Green has potential to be a good coach.

Thanks Jon, thanks Strike. And I I think he has that potential going by his team's SL stats the last two seasons. I was going by his team stats with Auckland too and noticed that he did more with less compared to some of the other coaches over there I was looking at. His teams were competitive both seasons and had both high defensive stats and low turnovers which is what sold me on him.

Worthy Green is not McLoo, and should not be making more than any coach in the league. Your overpaying coaches is what makes everyone else have to pay the good coaches more money. Which of course makes you believe that you need to pay the mediocre ones more. It's a vicious cycle.

I agree with this. The contract was ridiculous and screws the rest of us. McLoo earnt his contract by being loyal and being central to the Waves' incredible run last season. Green has done nothing to earn such a huge contract and should be on half the money he's getting now. Whether you can afford it or not is beside the point. The fact that Franchise started his negotiations above the McLoo contract is staggering and the worst part of this. I'll be interested to see what the owner in Anchorage thinks of Franchise's generosity... I mean negotiations.

I say commit to your position, regardless of what it is.  If you make a guy your best buddy, have his back through out, if you tell a guy "this is how it is" don't follow up with "...well, we can maybe work around it since you're not gonna like me if I enforce what I said."

..but I'm not playing for rings and retirement banners, I'm playing with the hope of having fun and seeing how things play out win, lose, or firing.  Guess it goes with the mentality of "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees."

What's the deal with the trading deadline?

When we were in the offseason, everyone I talked to told me I had until the all-star break for trades, but from what Konda just said there's a deadline that's passed. Did I get bad information, and I've got him for the whole season now, or do I still have the option to trade him by the all-star break?

You could trade players week 1....kinda the grace period Ian gives us for fucking up/panicking over team grades/training camp issues.

Then from there until the end of the season you're locked in with the team you have, however after the all-star break you can make trades that will go in effect for the following season.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

You don't have to wait until all star break to make trades that will happen next season. You can do S17 trades whenever.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

To clarify, you can make a trade whenever you want throughout the season, but after week 1 it won't go into effect until the following season.

After the All-Star break, players who are out of contract can be signed up but they don't join their new team until next season. If a player says he's leaving during Free Agency, it means he's signing somewhere else then but is still yours for the rest of the season.

GM FRANCHISE REALIZES WHAT IS GOING ON AFTER THE BUZZ WEARS OFF AND HE SEES THE CRIME SCENE IN HIS OFFICE

HOLY SHIT! I'm going to be on trial for murder!

GM FRANCHISE INSPECTS THE BOTTLE THEY WERE DRINKING AND IT HAS THE WORDS "DELVECHIO BREWING COMPANY" ON IT

Ah, it all makes a lot of sense now. We'll have to give this evidence to the police as well as the tapes from the cameras I had installed in my office. Might help solve the Chucky Dorrance murder as well. Anyway this is what we're going to do. We'll be spending 500K on retiring Cappy Fields' jersey. We'll also spend 1.5 million of PR to build  a Cappy Fields Memorial Alcohol Rehabilitation Clinic here in Anchorage and 250k to hire Hunch the World's Greatest Detective to investigate who gave Cappy this bottle since that's the person or persons who should be looked at. And also someone figure out how I'm not dead right now...

Anyway....

GM FRANCHISE HANDS MING THE BOTTLE CAPPY BROUGHT IN TO GIVE TO THE POLICE

Now last little bit of business before we lock in and the trial is hiring an assistant coach. Let's see if Deuce Callahan will take 2 million for 1 year to work as our assistant coach for his old business associate from Tijuana, Frank Eyes.

Question, regarding my "performance incentive" with my players and future dealing it... do I future deal it as soon as the terms are named, and then just pay out IF the terms are reached, or do I future deal it once a player fulfills the requirement and the money is for sure being spent?

Also, since I'm asking about future deal stuff, when will I receive scouting reports? According to the boards I future dealed it on the 7th, and haven't gotten them yet. No rush, and not to nag anyone, I just haven't done it before and don't want to slip through the cracks.

Thanks guys!

You would need to future deal it now I'd imagine, just make sure it is clear.

Scout reports will be on their way, Ian will be working his way through them as there were quite a few of us that got them in early.

Yeah, I thought that was a possibility, and honestly considering how it seems this game is run it might be the probability. That said, I have a team that isn't going to win many games anyways, so seeing a week or two of a disjointed offense before going back to business as usual doesn't seem like the end of the world. Plus, it doesn't feel like something that would be held against me long term... at the end of the day all I'm offering to do is reward players with money that's available to me.

Can't fault you for trying, Hannibal. As an expansion team, sometimes you've got to take chances.

The intriguing thing to me, is that there aren't many players in the FBL that score 25 points per game normally...
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

That pretty much sums it up.

At the end of these two games I want there to be as little grey area as possible... if someone hits that mark, it'll be pretty obvious the incentive was a factor and I'll more than happily pay out and keep it going. If my guys continue to score 14-16 going forward, then it didn't do much and I can re-evaluate. If someone hits 20, I can talk to the team, see what the key coaches/players think of it, and go from there. Besides, the next two games show us some weaker front courts so 25 isn't impossible, but it'll absolutely be worth a reward if it's reached.

Offering a PG a bonus for 10 assists, a bonus to the highest scoring bench player, top rebounder, etc. is well worth it if I have the extra cash, my players like it, and it gets results. It's just an experiment, maybe it works, maybe it doesnt... but if I'm going to lose all season anyways I might as well try and steal a few games along the way.

What? This was a challenge for two games, not a standing challenge for the season... the absolute WORST case scenario (financially) is that all three hit 25 in both games, and I'm out $750k PR. I'm not going to keep issuing incentives if I can't afford to pay it.

Why are you getting pissed off at all? Why is this an issue worth getting pissed over? I am trying to figure out a game that I've never played before, and am only involved in because Alex asked me to take his team. I'm trying something that may or may not work. I've admitted that. Everyone else has acknowledged that. You presented a scenario, I said that's a non-factor because I won't issue challenges when I can't pay the rewards... and now we're splitting hairs over semantics, and why?

Because it's a boring morning, apparently.

If someone hits the mark, and it's obvious the performance incentive was a factor, I'm more than willing to keep it going (on a case by case basis, when I feel the situation is appropriate and my budget allows... though this is not a binding contract that forces or commits me to doing it eternally).

With the hand she was dealt? I left Tempe in great shape. There's no doubt that Rebel's doing a good job with their morale, but let's no pretend that was a bad team she went into. I signed Huir and Dekker, slashed the PR budget, brought in the coach and kept hold of Falls even though it cost me my job. Credit Rebel with good draft choices and the great morale there, but don't talk down about the hand she was dealt. It would take a GM of my morale crushing powers or Franchise's tendency to self-destruct to screw up that team.

To be fair, the news suggests that players might not move over and might go into other avenues. I assume the same could happen for the GM, if the owner wants them.

PROTECTIONS FROM SUPER LEAGUE

Remember you can protect up to 6 players from the Super League taking them at the end of the season. You don't have to protect 6, but you can only protect up to 6. You don't obviously have to protect any expiring contracts. Anyone you plan to trade you must use a protection on.

EXPANSION TEAMS

There is not going to be an expansion draft as such as they are not true expansion teams. In terms of the lottery, both the new teams will have the best chance of winning the lottery conducted by random.org.

FREE AGENCY

This year I want to do something a bit different, make it a bit more real. So...when it comes to free agency you will have up until Week 8 to future deal the players going into free agency who's representation you want to talk to after the All-Star break. You will then pitch an offer (in thread) of why they should join the team and then PM me the details of the contract you are offering (so others cannot better you so to speak) for that player. The players will then announce their decisions at some point during the rest of the season!
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Are we still free to talk to players with expiring contracts on our own teams, and get them signed and confirmed before the all star break?

2.  We pm Ian contract details
3.  Sometime after break player announces where they're going?

Combine this with the fact that at the moment I'm unsure if I'm going to be able to continue scraping together the scratch to keep my internet going much longer, I've kind of been unconsciously preparing to have to go into exile.

There should be a "Destinations List" in Gen News that lists the free agents this year and where they might want to go.

For more then just free agents, all the team sheets will (or should) list the years remaining for each player.

As for protections, I assume we're doing them in the Future Confirmed Deals thread. I think last year we just listed the team and if we were protecting the players or not. I think there are some "samples" in the FCD thread from the moves today - that's basically what you're posting.

No if you opted out of this season then you are out as per usual. So Strike, Powers, Franchise (assuming he has a job) and yourself will not be able to negoiate with free agents until your threads are unlocked.

As for the rest of you. After Week 8 (All-Star game) is when free agents for the following season begin their negoiations. Up until then you can FD (future deal) the players you know who are going into free agency and who you would like to speak to Week 8 onwards to get a feel for them and their agent. You then submit your offer to me (as if you were talking to their agent) via PM in terms of a contract offering. The player/agent will then inform in a General News item where they have decided to 'take their talents' so to speak. This will give you a chance to pitch your team in your team thread with a bit of magic I guess.

Incidentally there will also be some shuffling of divisions next year to move Champaign and Nashville in. Reno will move to the West North. Texas will move to the West South. Champaign will play in East North and Nashville East South.

I will update a destinations list soon, but its basically the same with obviously some players re-signing with their teams. Any drafts where Calgary/Montreal were to receive next year (as the final one) or their original drafts that might have been traded have now been nulified as neither team will be in the FBL next year. If they were part of a chain, that still applies.

So what's the deal with unprotected players when free agency opens up? Can we contact them when they're with another team?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on July 21, 2014, 02:10:26 AM
Same as last year.

Unprotected just means they CAN sign with the SL if they want.  If they aren't on expiring deals they can choose to return to their team (see Shakers Lee and Blair Smith last season in Hollywood).
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on July 21, 2014, 02:11:20 AM
I didn't play last season so I'm not totally sure of the process and honestly, it's one of those things I've not really explored before.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on July 21, 2014, 02:35:53 AM
Unless the player is going to be a free agent anyways, unprotected just means they Super League can sign them away from the FBL for next season.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on July 21, 2014, 02:37:53 AM
So players that are expiring and have been left unprotected are fair game?

Yes they are.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on July 21, 2014, 02:41:07 AM
Yes, you can't protect your player if they have an expiring deal, unless you re-sign them for next season.

BUT all this protecting is for the offseason, its no known to players currently and all the destinations where players are listed as signing has not actually "happened yet"

The free agents are the same as the ones we'd be able to talk to based on the destinations sheet.

Ian asked us last season to post our protections early so he could get things moving faster on his end, so the cool part of that is seeing where players are going next year before it actually happens.

If you trade player you have to protect them and the trading team protects the player you will later get.

ALSO: if you sign a free agent from another team for next season you do not have to protect them, as they do not join your roster until AFTER the time when the protections all take place in the FBL timeline.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Kirk on July 21, 2014, 02:54:13 AM
Basically, protect 6 players that you want to keep or trade. Don't protect 2 players you don't want to keep or who are going into FA.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Rob on July 21, 2014, 02:56:02 AM

Unprotected =/= gone, unless they have the ( TEAM NAME HERE ) next to it, they're still technically on the roster for next year.

It's just protection from the Super League. So Cory's interest in Helmet Heed is pointless. If Helmet decides to remain in the FBL, it's with New Mexico.

That's a good position to be in. I'm good with 6 of my 8. Wayo is a decent bench player but is not worth the salary, Kika is cheap but contributes nothing. In the end if those are my biggest roster issues right now, I'm not worried.

I just don't see how with this system locked out teams can't join in, especially if they're going to mostly ask for a contract offer. Like whoever takes over New Mexico is up shits creek with a shit team in a good division. Allows those who take over a team that got fleeced by a exiting GM and has little to no picks (using past examples don't think there are that this year so far) a fair chance a puttin together a decent team  and not get fired/leave after one year.

While I agree (and I will not be offering any stupid money, if I offer any contracts at all) I know people will throw way more money at players then they should, I just hope the players consider other factors outside of money, but its the FBL and these are some greedy players.

Then THEY shouldn't have left their teams before free agency.  Doesn't matter who it was, if you want to participate in free agency don't get fired or don't quit/change teams.  Strike's new team made a trade for Morrison and Pederson, and he still has a draft pick, so he's not in horrid shape either.

He could make his money AND maybe win a title... he can't do both in the FBL he could win a title if he accepted the role as a second star on a team with an established GM, but he's too wild for a Gm without a super reputation.

Krease is more of a "The Answer is Always 'Suck My Dick'"

I think I could've fixed him if I played it differently last season. I started off with him giving me some respect after I laid down the law for him, but I didn't follow it up because I wasn't sure where to go; in the end it worked out though since it broke the bond between player and owner, the same bond that cost my good friend GM Strike his job here in Texas when I was busy fucking up Baton Rouge.

If you're getting fired... thats on the GM. Usually for the team complied or something you did. In Franchise's case, it was both. In Strike's, it was the whole hitting someone with a chair. I think Strike could have saved face, but he decided to leave instead. Franchise's firing was more than warranted. As for you and Powers, that was just unfortunately part of Ian's storyline. But he didn't force either of you to leave prior to FA or prior to the season ending. And as for Tritch, he saw greener pastures elsewhere, once again, his decision.

The only one who didn't make the decision to not still have a team right now is Franchise, who was fired. And really, he's the only one who deserved such a fate so far. Everyone else made the decision to leave their team early. 
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Domingo on July 28, 2014, 03:04:23 PM
The Canadian team to the SL storyline didn't force anyone to do anything, they could have still been playing right now, but instead of seeing how it played out the GM's jumped ship and took what they wanted with them. It's common knowledge that if you leave/get fired from a team you sit out until the offseason. When a contract goes into effect makes no difference, if you're on an inactive team you're inactive.

*GM TJ sits in his home, pulls up agent's number*

Hey, I'd like to offer your guy this deal for this team I'll be apart of next year

Not that hard.

I'm saying it worked with the old system, this new system where you're just PMing Ian offers, it opens the possibility that it's a private call to an agent, so why, in theory, could a GM who is moving teams call an agent?

It's not rewarding those who are fired, it's leveling the playing field. New Mexico could have 0 players on the team next season, how is it fair to ask a GM of any level, to put together a competitive team with the stranglers of FA, a bunch of unknowns, and two picks? Then as much as we say the result of the games don't matter, they do. If you had 0 shot at getting a FA from this class, which is pretty good, had a chance at a high pick in the draift via the lottery, and would have to beat other teams from getting whatever new players are added that don't go through the draft (which isn't always a promise), how is that fair to New Mexico?

Like I said, I personally this year, am not affected this season by it, I'm covered, but I'm an anomaly and far more often you get teams that get taken over with no draft picks because the GM prior traded them away the offseason prior to get first round picks, few quality players because the GM prior took the good ones with him to the new team because the Owner of his new team didn't care what the fairness of the trade was, he was getting the GM he wanted.

I don't think in the "wow this new thing is great" idea. It is, but I look at how things could be more fair and balance, where there is a flaw, to me, and suggest how it could work.

Like make them at a disadvantage, they can't sell the player on why he should join the team and the fact they just left/got fired hurts their rep already, but why in theory, if GMs are stating their interest, can't any GM that is in the season state their interest? If we're just PMing offers to agents for next season, why can't the GMs that aren't with a team? "Because GMs who leave never got a chance before" yeah, but GMs who didn't never had to PM an offer to an agent, so if that changed, why can't this?

And yeah, I could have stayed with Montreal and stated my interest in agents, but what was the point if someone came in and stole Champaign from me, taking the team that was tied to my leaving franchise? That's why I left.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

But New Mexico has 6 players under contract as well as a first and second rounder.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on July 28, 2014, 05:42:13 PM
The answer is the one we didn't realize...

Only the PR lady (or guy) has the phone number for agents and its super duper top secret, so only a PR person can patch you through to the agent.  Since you are not officially with the team or in an office to talk to said PR person, you can not reach the agent. 


... That's my answer and I'm sticking to it, for now.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Fuck you Talon for that logic. It works.

And probably at the beginning. I mean, Franchise actually had a decent rep then.

I say what i feel, I feel at times the game can be unfair to some people, both in and against their favors.

I'll say cousin as that's the closest relation you could call it (Her Mom and my Mom are cousins) had a Memorial for her Son (who died in a car wreck last year) to kick off Fair, and I ended up helping extremely last second.  We ended up serving over 600 Sloppy Joes though, so it was all good.

Triple post!!!

Question for everyone interested in half a dozen (or more) free agents. Aren't you afraid that, after sending in all these offers to Ian, too many FA's choose you? Then you'd end up with a 10 person, $100 million dollar roster.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Reya Serra on July 28, 2014, 08:28:33 PM
In my case, I'm just expressing interest and not putting all of my FA eggs into one basket.  Odds are half of those at least won't even be interested in me and what with what little I have to offer I feel I'm only likely to land one FA if I land one at all.

Best case scenario for me is I land 2 of those guys at the right positions without going over the cap and have my roster filled before the draft.

Worst case I miss out on all of them and I still have 2 draft picks to fall back on to fill my 2 remaining spots.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Reya Serra on July 28, 2014, 08:29:57 PM

Im not offering to anyone anytime soon. I PM'd Ian and asked if we HAD to offer right away or if we had until the end of the season (at risk of the player signing before you ever even offer)

If its a "you have until your lock in that week to offer" type of deal I might not offer a deal to anyone at all.

Triple post!!!

Question for everyone interested in half a dozen (or more) free agents. Aren't you afraid that, after sending in all these offers to Ian, too many FA's choose you? Then you'd end up with a 10 person, $100 million dollar roster.

This was my thought too.

Because you're not really negotiating. The way I understood it, was that you submit your offer, and then the player chooses. If he chooses your team and 5 others do, sure you might be able to not FCD it, but then that player will feel slighted. Maybe that's looking into it too much, but it could give a hit to GMs reps if they offer 10+ contracts and back out on 9 that get accepted....

Just because you declare interest in someone doesn't mean you will deffinitely send an offer. Everyone is going to have their first choice players and then work down the list. If I sign Ballz, for example, I'm not going to make an offer to Evans or Hitomi,  but I want the opportunity to speak to them if Ballz goes elsewhere. I'm sure that's what other people are doing as well.

Wouldn't your subsequent choices be signed somewhere by the time you find out your 1st choice said no?

Maybe. It's the risk you take. It's a new way of doing FA this year so people are going to have to experiment to see what works. You do it your way and the rest of us will do it our way and we'll see how everything falls at the end of the season.

My guess... This is Ian so there isn't going to be one completely safe way of doing anything. One way or another, you could potentially fuck your team in the ass. You could go for 2 guys and they both say no or you could go for 10 guys and they all say yes.

Interest is interest, nothing more. I'm interested in trading for Scott Cunningham... unfortunately, that's simply not going to happen. I'd be interested in Anders Van Lowe, but more than likely he won't even want an offer, and if he does there are more attractive set ups elsewhere. I'd much rather have a list of 10-12 guys, find out 7 want an offer, watch 4 head to other teams, and then make my choices out of the remaining 3... why start with 3, and watch them all disappear in an hour only to get left with empty hands?

I have four different gameplans for the offseason that involve different trades, draft strategies and free agents. I'm comfortable moving forward with any of them, I just need to ensure that I have the flexibility to move forward on any of them whenever the time comes.

He was already making 10.  I offered him 11 to keep him on which was already higher than most of the other C coaches.  He wanted 14.  Trying to talk him down from it's only going to hurt the team and/or lead to him leaving and me ending up having to sign Flips or someone just as bad.  I'd rather bite the bullet and eat 3 more million PR (leaving me with 2.5 mil left) than take the gunshot straight to the forehead.

I know he's not why the team's succeeding but now isn't exactly the time to rock the boat.  I thought about letting him walk but it's not like there's a plethora of quality coaches out there and more than likely when the offseason does start they'll be snapped up before I could even speak to one of them.

oh Jen... you don't lead off  the renewal of the contract  by telling the agent that you are going to be benching his player the next season


think that might have hurt you a little
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on August 01, 2014, 06:46:56 AM
I disagree.

It's being forthright about the negotiations and explaining my position; I feel offering no reason for the reduced salary is far worse than laying on the table where you see the player being in your plans.

Better, imo, to do that now than spring it on the player they're off the bench at the beginning of a season, where it could cripple their morale before the season even starts.

I mean, I'd very much like to keep Blair but 7 is already lucrative for coming off the bench, 8 is borderline unreasonable for a player who is approaching the end of their career. Sentiment isn't going to make me pay through the nose for someone who it's completely fair to ask a cut from. I would rather get that out the way with NOW and therefore be able to plan appropriately for next season than try and figure out how I'm going to afford a competent bench player on a budget of something like 3 million.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Black Death on August 01, 2014, 06:59:51 AM
Think we have to agree to disagree in this one ... I feel the agent is going to want to get the max out of the deal, regardless of your intentions ,  I can understand explaining to the player the reason , that be honest and forth right with the player  ... but you don't have to give the agent any info unnecessarily, He does not need to know what your going to do with his client the next season.  Just that you want his client.  now if he ask you what you intend to do with his player . than be all means tell him.   but I think you might have hurt your negotiations by showing your hand earlier. plus think you force him into a corner , he going to challenge you if you want to keep Blair or let him go.  might not be no wiggle room now for the agent

Send this message to Pebbles, as he has chosen to walk out.

-----------------------------------------

Pebbles, I was asking where you want to play because I thought you would be mature enough to let me know where you think you could best produce and contribute to this team. But, as always in my interactions with you, once again you act like a petulant child. I've tried to show patience with you because you are a talented young man.

However, that is finished. If you want to act like a pissy little shit, then we don't need to speak. In fact, after this season we don't need to be in the same organization. Unless you come back begging, which I don't expect, I am going to trade you.

Because of your attitude, I don't plan on asking your input about where you want to play. I frankly don't care. Perhaps if you act in a somewhat professional manner the rest of the season I would ask your opinion, but you have not earned that respect at this time.

Respond to this or don't.... I don't give a shit anymore. You are a pain in my ass, and I've had enough.

Rob is speaking my language.

There are 16 teams each with one or two allstar capable players to choose from. So omitting teams because some GMs don't want to play ball doesn't really hurt me or the allstar team. There are many players, hence is why I want some GM's opinions on their best players. If you don't want to give me your opinion, then I take that you're not interested in having your players picked. That's fine.

Because I got few responses and did the research myself and picked the most deserving players. I don't hold grudges for people who don't have the time... or the care... to send me things that were really accessible. I was just looking for the lazy way out and it didn't work, so I had to do it myself. Really took me about 15 minutes to pick the all-star team... but I also keep up with things throughout the season (ie: reading all team threads, looking at results for all games, etc...).

SG/SF to be exact. Former 5th overall pick in the draft via Birmingham (Franchise edition) traded by me in his second season to Wyoming, won the title with the Wolves, signed with Barcelona, won the SL title, continued to play in the SL last season... now coming back.

Or at least that's what I think is his background

It's not an immediate response. The idea is we all get to make an offer if we choose to future deal a request to sign. The player announces later which offer is taken.  Green to me looks like the player wants to know why he should play there as opposed to orange just cares about the money you're willing to throw out

Green you make a pitch to the agent about the player playing there, I believe. So yeah, basically why they would fit well in that system. Then you make an offer to the player in a PM to Ian.

Orange they just want the contract details (in a PM to Ian).

Green means that they want you to give them 'the sell' in thread.

I'm reading orange as 'okay I'll go there if the money's good', and green as 'well I want to hear what their plans are and where I'm fitting in'.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on August 07, 2014, 06:22:36 AM
I take it as green, they want to play for you or your team. They want to hear a pitch and an offer.

Orange, if no green team "wows" them, then they'll go where the $$ is.

Red, not even interested.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on August 08, 2014, 04:22:52 AM
I will explain free agency and our new format to stop debate.

If you get green that means the player has a high priority in wanting to play for you. It means as well you are required to pitch to his agent (or him/her if they dont have one) the benefits of coming to your franchise in your team thread. Call it a PR and sales job. You then submit a contract offer to me via PM for a green one maybe finishing your pitch with 'here is our offer, please take your time to go away and consider us'. That ends the conversation. Dont be hanging around for the agent to say 'ok' or 'bye'. People need to get better at this generally.

Orange means the agent/player is willing to receive a formalized offer from you (via PM) its a list of numbers. Any fluff on why they should join the team will be dismissed. You are offering a contract and depending on the players needs/wants he/she might go for money or potential success the team has to offer.

Red means they are not interested so you dont have to do anything.

The process of the pitches please just call them in one by one, dont expect responses from me, just post yourself. Make the assumption the agent/player has arrived and your pitching them.

Right now if you have an orange you should be submitting them to me. Can do them all on one PM if you lay it out right. Remember no fluff...

I am also going to introduce next season a "max salary cap" for rookies. It means you will be able to sign a rookie up to a max of 10 million a season (hurray he hears folk shout) but all rookie contracts will be a maximum of 2 years...time to make things interesting.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on August 08, 2014, 09:29:31 AM
Updated the rules for this. So it's worth bearing in mind all rookie contracts must be 2 years (thus making it a question of whether you want to sign a player for 2 years or not!). You can then offer them a deal from a value of 0-10 million a season (max being 10 million or understood by rookies/agent to be a max rookie deal). PR is up to you.

A case example of this might be in Season 17 the San Quentin Showerpals sign Soapy Entry to a 2 year rookie deal worth a maximum of 10 million a season and also throw in 500k PR cause they want to. During Season 18, Entry would have 1 year to run on his contract so...teams will begin the negoiation for Season 19 (on a standard deal) with him. If a deal cannot be reached Entry like anyone else will have the opportunity to go into free agency and negoiate with other teams post the All-Star break of Season 18 for a Season 19 move.

By introducing this we become more inline with rookie signings and it becomes more strategic for you guys which is my aim as I always try to find little ways to evolve the game.


In terms of the format for the draft as per usual all non playoff teams will be entered into the lottery. The team with the worst record will have the most chance of winning the lottery...if a team in say the East South finished 5th and West South finished 4th in their divisions. The 'chance' advantage would go to the team with the lower division finish even if they have the same win and loss record. If for example the teams win and loss record was the same as well as their standing in their respective divisions then they will receive the same chance of random.org in the lottery.

Quite simply your coaches will appreciate you need to get on with your shit this week (and I cant be arsed saying hello every five minutes) once your press conference is done, assume the coach is in your office. If you finish with a statement then move onto your FA. If you want to ask the question of a coach then end with a question. Other than that assume if finished on a statement a nice handshake took place, he/she left and then carry on with what you need t do. I am only doing this for this week so I am not going editing crazy. Choice is yours if you wanna ask a question or two.

I think it's a bit more than the financial offer that played into it though.

Take Blair for example.

Talon offered him 2 years 5.5 million and 2 million PR
I offered him 2 years 7 million

Total Talon actually offered him .5 million more than I did though 2 million of it was in PR.  However, my pitch to Blair's agent was that he should join a team that could win a championship not only right now but also next season which is something Talon might not necessarily be able to do and for a guy nearing the end of his career and getting close with Hollywood I think that's what ultimately swayed Blair to take my offer.

I could be totally wrong though.  I'm just guessing.

You were a preferred destination, Reya, so I'd imagine that swung it in your favour with the contracts close in value. Can't recall whether Boise was or wasn't.

That is true.  I was Blair's first choice in terms of preferred destinations so that might've played into it too.  For me I just tried to offer him as much as I felt I could while leaving enough to pick up someone to fill the 8th spot.  I didn't think he'd end up choosing me (same with Flynn) but I'm glad they did :)

I just re-signed Coach Shaw to a 4 year/14 million deal starting when I FCD'ed it which should be 3 years/14 million at the start of next season.  Aside from that, my team appears to be correct.

Offhand, I believe I offered:

Ecko Walls- 3 yr, $7.5 + 1.5 PR
Felix Johnson - 2 yr, $9.0 + $1.5 PR
Clarence Marx- 3 yr, $15.0 + $2.5 PR
Krease McCool- 1 yr, $15.0 + (some random amount of PR... maybe 2.5?)

told you jen , I thought the one mistake you made when talking to the agent was letting him know you were going to move Blair to the bench. I know you were being up front and honest , but by giving him your intentions for his client , you turn him hostile towards you and it sunk your talks.

You could have left out that one part , sign him and than talk to Blair about moving  to the bench.  Blair was walking around like wounded warrior , you could have easily sold him on how moving him to the bench would benefit him and the team

I have one more thing for you. I want to use the bench players more in the starting lineup in place of the guys who have signed elsewhere. I'd like to see how Shilton and Johnson cope with starting for us in preparation for next season. I'm confident that they are up to the task, but I'd like to know how you think that will affect morale?

QuoteSorry, but Rob Palace hasn't shown me anything to be paid 11 million let alone 13. And two million in PR for him is crazy. He's average as a wing player, 14 ppg and 2 rpg. Nothing special. Palace will make as much next year as Dex Wilson makes now.

To be fair, Palace is averaging 18.6 ppg and 2 rpg. Is it enough to make me think he deserves 13? No, but it might be a sign that he's turning a corner.

He could have also just been playing at a higher level because it was a walk year...

I think I overpaid for Keaton, not for Palace...he's proven that worth and is a natural SG, where as Fletcher is a natural SF, playing SG this year...so the point that I got two players who are the same as Fletcher was a little mis-guided. I knew for me to have a chance with the other orange/green teams that we're established franchises, you need to flash the cash to get them to come.

Thought Rob had Palace on lock for sure, so went all in on a SG which was the missing piece for my team, which is why I had to go to the absolute MAX for Keaton. Palaces averages are more than Fletchers this year and Fletcher is making more $$$, both are young. If Palace's numbers are because of Griffin, I believe I have a guy in Fletcher that is the next Mason Griffin. I think their going to grow and it was a good buy, ESPECIALLY with Dre Majors deal in comparison, and I have both guys rated very very close to Clarence Marx who got the same amount of money from a team that wouldn't have had to overcompensate in Vegas oppose to a big FA coming to a recent expansion in Morgantown.

Now I'm going to have to sell Keaton on the cheap, which is going to sting but there are more than enough teams with the cap and not many options to improve their front court for next season, so should be able to find a win win, without having to "trade my 1st round pick"....that was ridiculous.

Cory I only had Palace if you didn't offer such a ridiculous contract. Did you really think I was going to offer more than that? It's ridiculous really but then you learn who has no control over their money when they go around offering stupid contract deals like you did for those two. It fucks my chances now of getting a reasonable SG/SF for reasonable money when you took two and gave them stupid contracts.

I get why it's a big deal though, it's not like it happens in real life, with the smaller NBA teams paying more money than a players worth... right?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: The TeeJ of Philly on August 13, 2014, 08:26:01 AM
Except you do when teams can pay less for a first round pick and get the same production from him. Why should they trade with you when the can get the same production cheaper and save tht money to resign them in a year or not be locked in for overpaying Keaton.

I was speaking from my point of view on that. I wouldn't trade you being guy to overpay for Keaton. So the deal would have to add something else. I like picks over players.  And I like picks of value.

I think it was a fair situation.

Win-win.

Nice article, TJ.

I understand why you would put me on the losing end of free agency, but I wasn't really interested in scrambling around making offers for free agents that I wasn't interested in having on my team. As much as I would have liked for Lee to stay, him leaving is a blessing since I can pick up a player in the Draft to replace him at a cheaper contract and continue to have my team grow together and play better as a unit.

I guess it's just a matter of opinion on the subject,  but interesting to see what others think.

Exactly. To be fair though in most sports management games dont you usually get to manage your picks for the upcoming draft as well as the one after? When I started I was allowed to trade my s17 pick for Konda, despite the fact that the s16 draft hadnt happened yet.

I think its always been you can trade picks for that season and the season after...when you came in, it was technically S16, so you could deal S17 picks. We're still in S16, which I think is where the uncertainty lies.

Surprised it too this long for the "give rookies advice" to turn into person a takes shot at Franchise. Franchise replies in snark matter.

Happens every year.

As for advice. Don't listen to anyone. We all have alternative motives. Like making friends so you make a trade with one of us or generally helping us out. Play the game how you want to. If it works well praise you and try to copy it (see Jacksonville) if it doesn't well poke fun at you (see 85% of the ooc thread)

Hey All

Just to note I wont run the next season until we have a full roster of GMs. So with Georgie gone we need to either get her back or replace her. Also, I hope Tritch is coming back next season.

I am not going into recruitment by myself so its up to y'all to help here.

Thanks
Ian

Can we as a group pile a couple names together and then determine which people we get.

Not to sound like a dick but every time ian says to get someone commited to the game, we get people who are almost never around.

Can I also say this

Don't force anyone to come back if they don't won't to. Guys like Stoner, Alex K, Ty, those kind of guys who have been away from the game for whatever reasons. I'd rather have complete new people who learn and maybe get into it than guys who are being dragged back because we as a group need them, not because they want to come back. They're more likely to phone it in more quickly than a new person taking over a poop team.

Or maybe we undo all the expanding and go back to 28 teams, 28 GMs.

Might be that you're the mod so you see it differently then someone who is trying to play the game you've created. Sitting out has let me see thing differently than before. Like people thinking something up that solves this issue and then another issue, bigger comes up as a result.

It's not tasking as much frustration at a zero-sum like thing. When its far to easy to have a reputation closer to Franchise or Cory than it is to Hondo, you spend a lot of time worrying about what to do to issue A when you know Issue B or C will arise and when you think there's nothing you can't do to do wrong, you're fired.

Being 100% honest, and please people, it's not something I want to talk about past this post at the moment.

I've stated before I'm having emotional/mental/whatever problems off and on the past few months.  Usually for me these episodes have just led to moments of not even wanting to sit at the computer and do anything on the internet.

Like I said not fully going into it, and not wanting to, but recently (like this week) my Doctor has ordered me to go to Mental Health because he's concerned over severe depression/possible suicidal thoughts (thoughts, not actions, it's not something I see myself doing). 

These kinds of things are the only things that would make me want to take a break.  That and the fact that at the moment it's a constant debate over if I'm going to be able to scrape up enough money to afford internet.

But I'll play as long as I'm accepted in the game.  Just explaining why I might seem.... distant(?) from it here and there.

I mean, Ken was fired for being honest about not being able to commit to a current season, I know life is life and what not, but we're looking for committed players to come in and replace Georgie when we can't fill get the currently hired ones to be committed enough right now.

He asked for a LOA till next season. No disrespect to Ken, but I kind of need more committment to the game so I "fired" him and we will look to replace him next year or if he is back he can have a pop at a vacant job.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on September 06, 2014, 01:46:44 PM
He hasn't come back, therefore, he resigned from the FBL...

Ian fired him from Bismarck because he wasn't going to be able to finish out the seasonal commitment. That makes sense.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

That's probably true.

But Ian has stated that it's not in the storyline to get rid of teams right now. So we're better off trying to make the best of what we got and get better people in here that can stay at least semi-active to active.

Yet. He hasn't come back yet....THERE'S STILL HOPE DAMMIT!

Seriously, I agree, it makes sense. That's almost the point I'm making. Someone can't finish the commitment to the season and they get let go and when they can come back, they can come back. It's not like Steven has been waiting on Ian for a response, but the fact that Ian is waiting for Steven to answer his questions and Ian has been quite busy is just, we're looking for more players that can commit to this and we have players who have very questionable commitment to the game already.

Just a re-stating of my point that these new players, need to know what this game actually takes activity wise. Right now it's a post or two a week and a couple on the weekend because Ian is busy but when Ian is at his normal pace as mod, it's more than that. Ian updates at least once a day, sometimes two during the week and X amount on the weekends.

For every Hannibal, we get a Georgie and Tritch (who was scarce between posts).

Agreed. I said going to 32 was maybe too much and Ian's said storyline wise, he don't want ot lose teams. He's wiling to wait for the teams to be filled before next season, which may not take long but I haven't seen many new members that are active enough AND interested not to say fuck it half way through next season to take just the one job and between Jag's status at home, Steven being MIA and I know Rebel's life has been quite busy as well, we may have to find more than just one, just in case.

Post by: Domingo on September 06, 2014, 02:36:53 PM
I don't mind the wait. Even last season when I was sitting out from like week 3. I couldn't wait for the new season to start, but I wasn't going to rush anyone. This is something to do, but not something that needs to be the first thing you do.

I figure the new style of not getting a post to your thread when the media questions are posted might add to it, but not much.

@Krazy - make sure you read up on some threads and get a good feel about some of the attitudes and nuances of players. Lots of drama queens, and tons of players that believe they are the greatest player in the FBL. Just fit back, don't take anything to heart, and have some fun.

Best advice, period.


PLAY HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY. win/lose/firing it's about you enjoying the game. If you have fun, who cares if you're on the same team for 5 seasons.

Things work for different people, try NEW things, dont EVER post the same thing someone else does. 

Don't blow off your coaches.

Don't piss off agents.

Don't rush or play when tired/drunk

Ask questions in the OOC.

That should be the link to the google.doc spreadsheet. Your team is on there under the season 17 tab. The players you have on the team, and any coaches, are on there so you can see what holes you need to fill.

Ask TyTy and Franchise what to do, then do the opposite.

You're going to have to wait til the offseason to try and sign anyone listed as a free agent. Some people might be coming out of the super league

it's always "NEVER GO FULL FRANCHISE" or "NEVER GO FULL TYTY"

Needing 3 players isn't that bad, Krazy. If you only had two players it still wouldn't be that bad either, but you have a pretty good core there.

Yeah, Krazy, you can't do anything until season 16 FBL finals are over and the offseason begins.

Also, the free agents available now are players you may. It want on your team anyway.

Just in case anyone was wondering the Eastern Conference South was calculated via the following means...

WAVES VS GREENHORNETS: Split series 1-1 (Waves + 13 in scoring difference over series)
WAVES VS DRAGONS: Split series 1-1 (Waves + 13 in scoring difference over series)

Therefore the Waves become the number 2 finish in the Eastern South...

DRAGONS VS GREENHORNETS: Split series 1-1 (Dragons + 4 in scoring difference over series)

Therefore the Dragons become the number 3 finish in the Eastern South and the Greenhornets become the number 4 finish.

LMAO at the randomness of the non playoff team (lottery draft) Champaign literally wasnt drawn till way down the list despite their probability. Never seen that before! As for the 2nd round that was even more bizzare. Literally the top 4 teams with the best chances just kept falling and falling. Never had a draft like that before!

The draft order has been posted. As noted earlier teams who dont have GMs technically at the moment cannot future deal any moves...that includes the two expansion teams. But it does give you the chance to plan your scouting and potential future deals...without future dealing anything...apart from your scouting...lol

You will get a PM response from Ian with your scouting reports.  From then, you need to wait until the current season finishes up.  Once that is complete, Ian will unlock all the team threads, at which point you can try to hire a Coach/Assistant Coach.  He will then create a seperate topic for the Draft.  Once he says it is a go, then you may draft your player.

Krazy, I can't stress this enough.....read, read, READ.  Look at the archives, and look at previous years drafts, for a feel of how it will go.  Read through some team threads, to get an idea of the pacing of the game, and what to do.  And ask questions!!  Either by PM, or in here (which you've been good about doing).  We're competition, but we're here to help too.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Hollywood's scoring threats are Mitchell and Thomas, but Conky and Monty are very good Defenders. If they can stop them, Portsmouth would have a good chance. Of course, they need to beat Texas first.

1. I am due provided I am still able to fly (been quite sick) tomorrow so wont be around for a couple of weeks. Please dont go completely mental in trades and FD's. Most the time it works against you anyways.

2. Some of the vets will be keeping an eye on things.

3. No trading of any draft picks past Season 18. REPEAT...no trading of draft picks past Season 18.

4. No SL coaches wanna play here, lets not waste time and no...the arent interested in trading players

5. Please help and support any of the new folks in the aspects of the game that will help them

6. Read the rules regarding contracts for rookies in the appropiate thread

7. Have fun, dont be silly and lets enjoy a very relaxed offseason

8. The college draft is open!

9. Players are on vacation and so are assigned coaches...BE AWARE OF THIS! Only your trusted PR person is in the office. Of course you can speak to agents and free agent coaches as much as you like.

First off, he was top 10, he wasn't fall out of it.

second off, don't hate me, hate the guy I replaced in Anchorage, since it was him who fucked up so bad that got me the #2 pick.

There are also 30 threads that will lay out the basic framework for signing players and hiring coaches. You might have to read through a few pages to get to it, but they all have it at some point.

Yeah, it looks like the search option and looking. This might be a night time reading if I am forced being up. My left ear is acting up. Its a common thing for me since birth.

Step 1: Find the name of the agent of the player you drafted.

Step 2: Contact the agent in your team thread. "Hey I'd like to speak to AGENT"

Step 3: Offer the agent a fair contract for his player. In your case picking #1, you should offer the max rookie contract which is 10 mil over 2 seasons

Step 4: If agent agrees to the deal, post the deal in the "Future Confirmed Deals" thread

Step 5: xzxxy

Step 6: PROFIT

Also, Krazy, are you trading someone because you drafted a PG and already have two decent ones. Should have gone with a PF/C combo.

Also, you need to hire a head coach.

Have I lost my mind, or have the value of draft picks plummeted this year?  People are giving up multiple 1st's, or a 1st and a 2nd for okay players.  I don't get it.  With the new rookie salary structure, I would imagine that draft picks would be even MORE valuable, not less?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Flins. on September 20, 2014, 05:28:29 AM
My scouting was atrocious so in terms of value for me personally the picks weren't worth much. However, seeing how many teams wanted in on the first round, I may have made a misjudgment there. Me and Kirk had agreed on the deal a while back though.

Aye, I know. I get your point though, there have been quite a few trades involving firsts that are surprising. We'll all have our reasons though, I'm sure! I've never had much joy out of the draft, then again, I've only had the two seasons where I could scout.

LOL, hey our deal was fair to both sides.

The one that had me scratching my head the most was Digger's. We've talked and I hope it works out for him, but I think 2 firsts for Ballz  and Chavez is way too much.

Those picks were both so low down the order that I'm probably the one who got the worse end of that deal. Without even the tiny bit of detail that we used to have on the rookies and not even a single editorial about the draft, scout reports are essential and picking decent guys is going to be tough this season... particularly with everyone going after bigs. Unfortunately, my two scout reports were terrible but I couldn't keep Hull on my bench and nobody else seemed to be particularly interested in him.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: The TeeJ of Philly on September 20, 2014, 07:00:31 AM
One pick was low next. The value of a future first is never assumed. Mid way through the year, it looked as if puerto Ricos pick I had would be higher up and it wasn't.


Im still waiting on to wake up and find out the pr in the rookie contacts are not real. Bat guano insane.

I'm sorry guys, I might hold off until morning. 

Been sick over the weekend.  Stomach Pains and such.  Kept me from sleeping.

Finally went away, and slept most the afternoon (like after my last draft pick sometime) but now feeling the "post feeling sick" weakness.  I may stay up for the rest of NOC, but just... blah enough I can't concentrate.

May pick after NOC.

You shouldn't communicate unless gasoline is involved buddy.

Also, it's a bad trade because you traded a great young player, a solid player in Hughes and got a player who has had his development stunted because a trade TO Kentucky.

Advice: if someone ever is offering you a player that is consitently up for awards, there's a good reason they don't want them on their team.

Lou Malone is a still a good player, really good player. And IMO Watson is a scoring first PG, which still doesn't fit what Kentucky is looking for. So I actually think Kentucky took a bit of a hit here. 

Much like I messed up by letting Marx go, Hondo just let his best defensive player leave. And Hughes is ok... but I think he's going to be an overpaid bench player.

Krazy could have traded Fredericks instead, but he can still use him as trade bait anyway or at worst, play him as 6th man. His 123 punch of Williams-Malone-Moore is pretty yummy IMO. If only Krazy could have talked his way into getting Crander into that deal instead of a pretty worthless 2nd Rounder next season.

Hondo got the more overall better deal... but I think Nashville improved the most in it.

I could take a risk on Drury because he's going to play from the bench. I need starting C, so I'm still working on trading for reports or a player in that position. I've got a guy in mind who could I could develop from the bench, but I'd prefer a starter. The clock rests after my first pick, right?

Well the rookie contract scale should make sense. Going from 10-2 million for draft players, anyone undrafted get a million as a rookie.

Top 5 get 10 mil
last 5 get 2 mil

everyone is slotted between.

I think, and I include myself here, most teams will have to realize that they are small market.  I see that creeping up a lot in the expectations and perhaps we just have to be willing to let a player go if his salary cap demand is 5 million.  What's the point if the budgets keep getting raised if we can't balance the one we have?

Again I include myself in this but if you draft a guy and don't know what he is how are you going to possibly know how to promote him correctly?  It's a scary thought letting a guy go but if everyone collectively starts behaving that way then we could REALLY influence the game.

Just look at Talon and his hard line stance against Krease McCool.

You also have to remember you have an out each offseason.  If your guy turns out to be a dud, he can be left unprotected, and sent to the SL. 

In Franchise's case, his rep is poor, and he's in no place to negotiate.  Thems the brakes.

Post by: GM Hannibal on September 30, 2014, 07:57:14 PM
Yeah, it's a little nuts. I thought having 13 million to put a bench of rookies together wouldn't be an issue, but seeing guys in the middle of the second round getting 8 million kind of throws a wrench into that. Hopefully I can get Kennedy Frazier for something similar to what Hondo got Barbosa for.

Very valid point. But I know how to promote my players correctly! WHAT ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE PANCHO!?! HUH!?!?!

Kidding aside, I just look at it this way. Why in the world is the 25th pick looking for 10 million? That's top of the draft money. The 7th pick getting that is, to me at least, mindboggling in kayfabe (in the FBL universe) Let me explain further.

There should be a distinct honor, outside of getting promoted the heaviest, for the top 3 or top 5 picks. Not only do are getting promoted heavier (note: not better, that's up to the GMs) you're also making the most cheddar. If I'm Dan Hill or Chris Williams, or Derrick James, what's the difference between me and Henry Bates? 2-3 million in PR? The players don't see that money in their wallets so what do they care? Yeah they get their name on a few more billboards in their city, wooo, it's about money, as proven by the rule, not the exception in the FBL.

Also, from a PR standpoint, I don't see anything as far as PR going for the 22nd pick in the NBA draft (or that region if that specific player is international right now). This is my viewpoints of it, that a player that was drafted in the middle of the first round is getting promoted as much as the MVP is getting out of the gate. And now, a MVP is going to see that and be "Ok, why is that fool's name all over the place and mine's not as much? I gotta talk to my agent!" And the best players want even more in PR, all the while, because of a bad contract or two, a great coach wants to be paid almost half the PR cap.

I'll admit, I'm probably thinking more about this because of my own situation, but if my situation was better, I'd still feel the same "Hmmm, that seems too high, so does that, and this is already high, something going to break here...."

And for all I know, this could be another test of Ians for us to try to better ourselves at this game as Pancho said, and so far, everyone is failing.

Feeding into that reputation is no way to change that reputation.  Granted I haven't taken the stand in my own team thread but while the first few times might not go his way in my opinion THAT is the way to change that opinion.

Losing your first round pick because you're trying to make a stand isn't the way to start out in a new team, either.  There isn't a great outcome here - it's pay or lose one of the few talents he's going to have this season.

I think you guys fail to realize the power we have to make this game evolve and change.  Remember that it's us that increase these contracts.  Remember its us that agree to these contracts.  We can swing that pendelum in the other direction. 

The only reason the agents are willing to leave the table is because others are willing to pay that money.  I'm fine losing my draft pick players and picking up the pieces at the end for a more reasonable contract.

Although Ian did explain it as "agents are pissed about the cap, so they gotta make up their money somehow." Hence the escalated PR's.

The PR budget is a hell of a lot smaller than the wage budget. You have to remember it's not the same pot of money. Plus, do you think they will lower their PR demands next season when they're demanding 20 mil salaries... not to mention the established players wanting their PR adjusted as well.

I kinda blinked a few times at that, too. I'm assuming their cut comes from the overall action (salary + PR) their client gets or some shit.

Maybe moving Ale to the bench and bringing in Hull has had a negative reaction?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Flins. on October 01, 2014, 08:27:55 AM
A negative reaction to morale, possibly, to player development though? That'd make no sense. I am guessing it just a case of natural decline with some, and a more realistic grades being used for others. Ale didn't play like a C+ last season, and I was expecting Hull's grade to drop, but I still think there is potential there, more than Ale at least. With Klomen, he was somewhat of an unknown, but again you could say his performance last season was not at what you'd expect from his grade. I'm not overly fussed, just thought it was funny that the team has been strengthened, put appears to be weaker.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever paid attention to their training and the effect it has had on their player? Just something I will be monitoring this season, as I'm pretty much at the point where I am willing to risk pissing off my Head Coach to be rid of Specks. Last chance for me to see an upside in him.

Hard to build a team when either you get fired within your first two years, you can't protect every player, or other GMs are overpaying mediocre talent so much that the good talent want more money than you can afford.

I just think it's a way to not have the funds to scout.

It's the flaw in the fantasy game that doesn't happen in the NBA.  You have to have new players enter the league via draft every year or the league becomes stagnant - in an 8-person team, fantasy league you can't just add 64 players and not have at least that many disappear.

The draft is part of the fun of the game - can you effectively draft young guys that you can eventually work in to your rotation and be effective?  You can't eliminate it...so, you've got to find a way to drop 2 guys from each roster to make it work.  Unprotecting them and moving them to the SL is the only way to make that work.  If guys would just keep their picks, draft and develop, it would make the game a lot more smooth - but it's easy to get worked up and trade your future for a stopgap.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: The TeeJ of Philly on October 01, 2014, 09:57:06 AM
I agree but the amount of pr going to rookies makes building a team impossible combined with protections and the history of gms patterns. Thus making, IMO, the draft not fun. I love the offseason more than the regular season. It's fun to build a team and make it better each year. Im in a position of building a team. I have young players around Mack and adding more to build a team.

Side note it's about to get interesting.

This game is trying to balance a mixture of relationships, strategy, and staying the course.  My season 15 is probably the best example.  Had all the talent in the world and should have been a case of just staying the course and coasting to the championship, but my strategy has always been to keep an eye on building the future and I created an epic disaster. 

Sure, it takes a good team to win and sometimes talent will trump (see Waves. Foresters), but at the end of the day it's a mixture of all three. 

Believe it or not, you're not going to get fired for not winning a championship.   If that was the case I would have been fired a long time ago.  The owners don't expect to come out on top every season but they look for consistency and stability.  Most GMs, myself included, inflict pain on themselves.  Luckily for me I've been able to build a strong relationship with my owner through consistency.  A lot of GMs assume they will get fired and jump ship in the middle of the season.  Owners know you will have down years, but as long as you're making an effort to improve the team and build the relationships then you will survive. 

Having a top notch superstar always helps, but you don't necessarily need one.  However most GMs will turn their roster upside down, or give up team morality in efforts to capture a superstar.  Sometimes it's not worth it and instead keep a roster of a solid eight guys and you will have a great chance of winning.

Supply and demand
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Hannibal on October 03, 2014, 10:52:08 AM
That doesn't add up to me. He was a projected 2nd rounder that was scouted as being not great and a cheap signing... he gets taken 62nd overall, released to free agency by Virginia where there's a pool of undrafted players who need to sign or disappear for the season and should be open to bargain offers, and Gomer still gets that deal?

What's he supplying that's in such high demand? Granted, it's not a massive deal, and I don't mean to specifically pick on him or Zeus, I just can't believe that the prices didn't drop more on some of these guys and he's just one that stuck out. Oh well.

He's supplying a back up PG which I believe he was the last of in the draft. There are no other PGs (I believe) in the FA pool.

How about 19 million, for 4 years but keep the PR where is is at 3million? The PR campaigns he was given in Montreal were counter-productive, but I think he'll see a much greater return on his PR campaigns during his time here without having to increase the money involved.

What is killing me is I am trying to say in my cap.

Coach salaries come out of PR budget, not salary budget. You have plenty of PR left to have signed that contract.

Is Flips making a return to coaching?

A major piece of advise you REALLY need to take.


Anytime you sign / FCD a contract that starts in the following season, be sure to add to the FCD "STARTING SEASON x"

Example:  It is season 17 now... I re-sign my Center Rik Kluff for an extension that will pay him 15MM for the next 3 years.

If I go to the FCD thread and post "Texas re-signs Rik Kluff for 3 years 15MM"  then my contract immediately goes into effect and puts me over the cap.

If I post "Starting Season 18, Texas signs Rik Kluff, 3 years 15MM" then NEXT season he is on a 3 year deal for 15MM a season.

Which would leave you light on the bench. Unless it is all starting PF/C's that are interested, I've only glanced over the list, mainly to see who was coming over from the SL. It could give you the option of a further development year for Heinmann if you felt he needed it.

I could care less about when it starts.  This is more about doing it correctly, which you didn't do.  Talon provided pretty much a perfect template to do it and you pretty much neglected it and as a result it's not correct and you will most likely be punished by the mod for it as a result.

Do you just read everything that we posted as "hurry the fuck up" or just assume that's all we said.

You're lock in is wrong in many places. If you read the link I posted it explains everything we have already said.

Again go through other team threads and see the difference between your lock in and everyone else's

You have a few things left to to lock in, Krazy. Where it says Mostly Starters (or Rotational Minutes), you have choose which one. Triangle offense isn't an available option, you need to choose between team ball or focus on a few - so basically, whether you want to play the ball equally or through key players. Then you need to post LOCK IN... to lock in.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Talon on October 08, 2014, 03:18:57 PM
The first rule in FBL is "never edit your posts" 

You'll likely get an exception this time from Ian (I believe he's let people off in the past on a first time violation) but don't edit posts.  Do a new post and pretend you've been drinking in character or something.

As far as that PR goes, I was just showing you how you could do it, I didn't intend on you using those horrible tag lines, it was just a template for you to use.

I'm not trying to harass you, I assume you're on the boards and playing because you want to be.  I'm a believer in "I've had a bad day, I'm not going to get online and do things and expect people to know I'm having a bad day"

If you're stressed and don't feel like playing, don't do it. 




Anyhoo, I've offered my help, I am officially washing my hands of this and getting back to other stuff.

I don't mean to peck where there is blood, Krazy. But, you need to put "Lock In" in bold at the end of your post. That might be a saving grace for you right now. Modify for you PR and give some descriptors (PM me if you'd like help) and then put LOCK IN in bold at the end. Don't edit your post. Just make another with the official lock in.

I wouldn't take it seriously, man. People mess with each other, and at this point a lot of people are clinging to the only form of activity that we have right now.

With that said, there's one thing that you still haven't done and that's your minute strategy. You need to choose between focusing on a few key players, or using your bench. Both of the options are listed in your lock in and you need to pick one and delete the other. Everything else looks perfect.

I think you need to chill out dude. There's a post that tells you everything you need to do. You were directed to it several times, but everything you've done suggests you did not read it. Initially, nobody was getting at you, we were trying to help you because the game can be hard for new players and it looked like you needed assistance. It seems like you're struggling to grasp a couple of the fundamentals at the moment, but that's ok.

However, your attitude became one of petulance and childishness extremely quickly and it was not at all pleasant to see. You will find it very hard to enjoy this game if you continue to act in such a way.

We have a little break now until the game is up and running again. Read through some other team threads, read the Free Agent thread that contains all of the rules for the game. Ask questions in this thread if you are not sure of something.

Then, when the game starts, keep your cool and enjoy yourself. If you do something wrong, there are a lot of other players in this game and it's more than likely that at least one of them will tell you. Don't take it as a personal attack, take it in the way it will be intended. People will only get snarky with you if you take it personally and start carrying on like you have done before.

Stay cool man.

We have a little break now until the game is up and running again. Read through some other team threads, read the Free Agent thread that contains all of the rules for the game. Ask questions in this thread if you are not sure of something.

Then, when the game starts, keep your cool and enjoy yourself. If you do something wrong, there are a lot of other players in this game and it's more than likely that at least one of them will tell you. Don't take it as a personal attack, take it in the way it will be intended. People will only get snarky with you if you take it personally and start carrying on like you have done before.

Stay cool man.

We were all in his position once. Yeah we can all criticise and mean it as a joke, but in z forum like this, it doesn't always come across like that.

Yeah some people posted things in here, but did anyone actually PM the guy and offer him friendly advice?

This.

I learned by seeing what you other guys were doing... it took less than a minute to get it down. Yes, there's a break now, but that still doesn't mean someone in the game has to keep making mistakes that could be fixed almost immediately with a quick look...

I spent all of last season playing the patting game after having him basically forced to be my coach from the start.  I re-signed him pretty much because the devil you know's better than the devil you don't.  At this point he can either knuckle down, remove head from sphincter and coach the team to the championship or he can walk out the door.  If I get fired for it, I get fired for it.

Ladies and gents...

In the GM History Spreadsheet... there is now a "RACE TO 100" tab.

This tracks how many "regular season" wins you've had with your current team. I decided to do a minimum of 3 seasons completed with the team to appear in the tracker.

There will no be anyone who will accomplish this goal in S17... but in S18, depending on the success of their season in S17, GM Jag, Jen, and Blade could have realistic shots at reaching 100 wins with their team.

Reya, I want you to win this battle, but I think it goes on and gets worse until you make a stand. You have been too good in Seattle to be fired for having a rough time after you coach quits for you NOT touching him.

It's going to end like my first year in Texas, where I did the right thing, it got my shit head coach to quit, and I got to hire MY guy and not the one I inherited; but I think the longer you hesitate to be firm with Shaw, he's going to get bolder and bolder and the next thing you know he's going to drop his pants and ask to rub his schlong on your top lip.

True, I just think it's something of a misrepresentation to claim that he's a touchy player off the basis of an incident where he was upset at being benched, particularly as you then lost the game he was being rested for.

Post by: Kirk on October 12, 2014, 11:04:52 PM
I benched almost all of my players at some point last season without any of them demanding a trade. To be fair to him though, Fredericks seemed to accept it until Barnes kicked up a fuss. We'll see how touchy he actually is soon enough.

What's the point of players having multiple positions if they can't actually play one of them, or is going to refuse to play one of them? There's no way for a new manager to come in and know every players entire career, so I make moves based on positions that it says people can play, and that other managers tell me they can play... and nobody on my team wants to do anything.

Owens cant play SG, Valentine wont, Powell isn't comfortable at C, but Coach Johnson said last season he thought Miller should stay at PF... now I still need a SG on my bench but dont want to ask Starr or Malroy because of how the Valentine/Konda/any-veteran-I-ever-talk-to issues.

I'm very confused as to what I should be doing.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on October 13, 2014, 12:41:34 PM
PF/C is the most common culprit of this type of thing, actually.

As a general rule of thumb is someone is only about 6'10 that's more or less the absolute minimum height for a centre to be effective. Guys around that size you have to bear in mind that they're a 50:50 shot of not liking the role/not fulfilling their potential at it. It's why I try to look for guys who are either listed C first, just C, or failing that are 7'0 and up.

I agree that it can be frustrating though. It had happened to me before with a couple players.

The point is to have coverage at the position. He's not comfortable. Never said he wouldn't. Never said he can't. Just hes not comfortable.

Bosh can played C for the heat. LBJ can play PF.

Owens doesn't like to play Sg because he likes to have the ball in his hands. You don't need a sg on your bench your covered.

Felix .... Just wanted to see how you feel about the change in position.
You are only a SF in title only. I consider it like having three guards in the line-up. I see you, J.C. and Dexter as a very potent offensive trio pushing tempo as often as possible and causing chaos all over the court and making it difficult for any opponent to defend us.

I complained because instead of dropping the patting thing at the end of last season it got made into even more of an issue, even after I had already previously drawn a line last season about it.  I could've just as easily built up his already massive ego with words as I could've with ass grabbing, but he wanted ass grabbing and that wasn't about to happen especially when the season hadn't even started and he hadn't even done anything yet.

As a result it cost me the first two games with a team in a season where it's pretty much all or nothing.

Also I fail to see how I replace him with someone that isn't worse than he was.

Maybe it's early and I'm not being optimistic about it but I don't see how I come back from that, get a coach that isn't Flips level awful and even come close to winning the title.

1.) You chose to go to Seattle. I can't remember if he was there when you left to there or not, but either way, you inherited a talented team after screwing up one. Ian always throws a wrench into something when you think you leave for greener pastures. For me, it was losing Cam Drake.

2.) It's not like you did bad last season and that's because you put together a very solid team around your TOP3. But instead of dumping the Head Coach EVERYONE knows is awful, you further inflated his ego all season and patted him on the back over and over and over and THEN re-signed him to a contract extension and paid him MORE money. Those were your decisions.     

3.) You played arguably the two best teams in the division and lost. I wouldn't say your season is done. That's a bit of an over reaction. The coach leaving is a good thing. To me, it was Ian giving you one hell of a break. He is rumored to go to the SL, which means one of those coaches is going to be available... but even if it's one of the shittier Head Coaches from the SL that he replaces, you still have Kirk Byways available and he's better than Shaw at least.

1.  It was after.  I felt that having him put on me in the first place was the wrench because I didn't get to choose my own coach.  This was more tightening the bolt.  If he wanted to leave he could've very easily done so after the season instead of waiting until now to do so, but what's done is done I guess.

2.  I kept patting him on the back because the team was winning, or at least doing well.  I don't remember but for the first part of the season I wasn't even sure how long his contract was actually for.  I re-signed him when I did find out because at the time my choices were to continue being saddled with him or end up with someone worse.  I chose what I felt to be the lesser of the two evils.

3.  At least there's Byways, who I had forgot about, so maybe replacement won't be so bad.  As I said maybe I wasn't being optimistic about it but it's not easy to be when you lose your coach and to the two teams you know you need to beat to even have a decent title shot all in the first two weeks of the season.

Honestly I don't care at this point was just proving a point that it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Ask Hondo or talon about that last year.

Some implies that there is more than one person that's experienced this issue.  While you have had a problem with this I wasn't singling you out but rather pointing out that several people in addition to yourself have had this issue.  It just so happened that I pointed it out after your post is all.

I figure new teams and new GMs will find themselves ranked low until people get an idea of what they are going to be like. You could be the next Dorling (team Dorling all the way) or the next Franchise and your team might not gel or might have friction with each other. If you keep a steady ship and keep on winning, you'll jump up the rankings.

You don't really need to win much, the expectation of your owner is to build the franchise which the moves you made have done. Now you just need to keep everyone happy and build on your top three players.

I left because I have enjoyed the time off and wasn't wanting to play anymore. 


I send PM's quite often and never get a response, so I never considered sending a PM about leaving the game.  Figured better to quit and let the team autolock instead of just not posting for a while and eventually being fired or holding up the game.  Its a game, and it was fun, but I am ready to say goodbye to it.

Thanks for the hard work Ian, to everyone else, continue having fun with it.

This in a nutshell. I didn't mean any disrespect. Didn't want to just disappear, I thought I was doing the right thing by resigning. Talon's resignation had nothing to do with mine. Just wanted to move on to a different hobby.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome back (in whatever capacity) Ian.

As for the two GMs that stepped down...even a quick note in OOC (I might have missed it if there was one) explaining why would have worked as well as a PM. But it's all in the past now.

Ian, I don't want to do this publiclly, but atm I just don't care about life atm.

I sent you a PM, and while some of the situation has changed (not hunting atm) when I DO get home, most likely my internet is shut off.  Today has been a hard day for me.  I've lost the front half of my left foot, they are looking at taking my big toe on the right foot in the next few days, I have a severe infection that they are saying if it doesn't get under control I may just die, my kidneys are currently shut down and they are talking about a lifetime of diallisys.  if I' stuck in a wheelchair I can't live at home as it's simply not laid out for wheelchair access, I have no prospects for any kind of job, I have no future, and quite frankly I am sick and tired of being a failure.  I'm just tired and really want to give up at the moment, and just don't know what to do.

It's been a bad day today.

This probably won't go down very well but I have to try anyway.

Ian, I love this game and it quickly became my favourite thing on the boards after I started playing but (you knew a but was coming) I think the coach interactions are starting to get out of hand and are making it more of a chore than it needs to be. I think many of the coaches have been completely absorbed by their characters and no longer make any effort to answer the questions we are required to put to them or make any meaningful contribution to the game. It's not such a problem in my thread but I have noticed it in others and seen the frustration that is starting to boil over. I'm referring to coaches talking about dreams and balls instead of answering reasonable questions. Those parts are amusing and make the game as entertaining as it is, but I think that they need to be paired with some sort of answer or usable response as well. This is meant to be constructive criticism and I mean no offense by it.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: GM Hannibal on December 02, 2014, 12:25:36 PM
I'm inclined to agree, though I don't have as wide a frame of reference as some of you do. I'm often frustrated by Ray Johnson, and that's solely based on the fact that I don't feel I get a ton of new or useful information from him but am obligated to spend a lot of time futilely trying. I'm sure it would be far worse if he was not only useless, but antagonizing as well.

Like Kirk said, no disrespect intended. Ian runs the game well, and I'm totally fine with him running the coaches how he likes, but if we're speaking up for managers in worse off positions than ourselves... yeah, there are a few where it seems a bit extreme.

If the Coach has a good rating and or relationship with the GM, the better advice/answers you get. You have a shit/new/past shit coach the worse its going to be, as well your overall rep I assume helps dictate the responses.

I imagine its going to be a season or two before Franchise gets some useful advice, hell took me a season or two as well.

I totally would fat shame the hell outta Davis Newton when he said "I am a big star, did you see this ring?"

"No, all I see is a fat, sad sack of shit in my office. What it's doing here is beyond me. I asked to see an important player of this team and I got this. Now, fat sack of shit, if you see Davis Newton, let him know I'd like to talk to him soon."

Hey guys, I'm looking to learn a little more about training. I believe I once read that training a player is only effective in their first two seasons. Is this accurate, or no? Are Miller and Novak viable training options next season, their third training camps, or should I be getting younger players if I want my training to be meaningful?

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

The training is most effective in the first two seasons... I think. It doesn't mean it won't help later and I think it depends on the player and your relationship.

In other words, I don't know.

It depends on what you're training. I trained Cordela in his third season on his conditioning since he was making the jump from sixth man to starter. I know Pancho used a training on Pablo Hurtado to fight off father time as best he could.

You best out of training by having the right coach, teaching the right attribute of the right guy. No one is going to spend time on Scott Cunningham to score, he already does that damn well, but Passing or defending, there's an option. I know metro spent two or three years on Malcolm Hayes' defense and he was averaging 2-3 steals a game in his MVP year when he was around 1 a game in years prior

As others have said, nobody really knows the ins/outs of the sim.  Ian guards those secrets with his life.

MY belief is.....it depends on the coaching staff (how good they are; mostly the AC), and on the individual player (willingness to learn, relationship to GM, overall skill level, etc).

For me I tend to train players I've invested a lot of resources in, and train them in parts of their game that isn't strong. You can't train a talentless player to suddenly be talented, but you can train someone with potential.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on December 16, 2014, 11:53:05 AM
My checklist goes along the lines of...

- Are they relatively young?
- Are they not a one trick pony? (i.e. big man with slow feet, pure defender)
- Have they been stated to have potential?
- Where are they supposedly weak?
- Don't train in things they're already good at.

You can also apply to the following teams which are vacant:

My Situation

Even though I've been on the past month or so, it's been borrowed time, as I was only able to get on because I was in the hospital and using their internet.  I was not going to be able to pay my home internet before my hospital stay, and that was the main reason I had to step away.

I'm now home, and I managed to get my internet paid up for now (and most likely for a while), so now the question becomes, should I return?  Can I return?  I don't know myself.

Correct so if you wanted to sign X Coach who was currently playing for Y team and he is on $2.5m a season, you will lose 250k out of your PR budget in order to sign him on top of whatever you are going to pay him. It basically acts as a potential hurdle for people signing coaches for other teams which is easy for me to manage and also means the team signing a coach is effected as well.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Mike Powers on January 05, 2015, 08:16:04 PM
As of next season, Marques Ball will have 1 year remaining on his contract, at $9 million. He'll play for you on that deal, but if you want to keep him you need to negotiate a contract extension. Teams have exclusive negotiating on their players rights for the first half of the season. After the All Star break, any team can sign a player who is on a 1 year deal.

Also, if you haven't bookmarked the google doc spreadsheet, do so. It is "unofficial" (so double check contract figures before agreeing to any trades/deals!), but it's a lifesaver.

It's basically an unwritten rule that you talk to your coach directly after you answer your questions.  Not doing so often brings bad consequences.  I get that you want to talk to your player and that's fine, but because of what I've already told you you should've talked to your coach first.  You didn't obviously.  I'm just telling you there will probably be repercussions for it, unless Ian's feeling particularly forgiving, as there usually are every year when someone inevitably commits that particular foul.

2. After you have done that invite your coaches in to have a chat. Always speak to coaches as your first contact for the week. I am not going to repeat this.

When the man who has the sim and is in control of things says the same thing twice in the span of 10 days, you get that shit tattoo'd on your forehead for when you wake up and look in the mirror.

Hey Ian, before I can move on with my thread I need to know whether or not you have it in your records that I FCD'd Apollo's jersey retirement.  Like I said before, I am 99.99% sure that I did that, when I spoke to him in the thread about it.  Thanks.

So we're expanding to 12 next year and have a youth coach for young players and such but still can only have 6 protections or will protections be more?

Also can that be applied this year, protecting more players :P

I am hoping that the protections can be eliminated from Season 18 onwards with an expanded roster as contracts will expire more regularly. Protections was brought in to make a natural movement of players in and out of the game, but shouldnt be required anymore fingers crossed.

I didn't even look at what I offered in relation to what other assistants are making, honestly.  I simply looked at what he's currently making and offered him a little more in order to entice him away from his current team as I figured offering the same amount he's making now would probably lead to him declining the offer.

My current coach likes him and it puts a stop to the coaching carousel that's been going on with my team since the beginning of the season.  I could've left the ball in his court to present me a contract offer he'd be fine with like I did with Byways but I figured that probably wouldn't fly and I'd have to make an offer anyhow.

5-1?

Declaring interest literally means nothing....it just tells you if a player would be willing to come.

NOW when the stage passes and you need to send contracts out thats where you need to be careful....but again still worked out great for me.

This year's record has nothing to do with the fact that last year every agent viewed you like the the desperate kid looking for a prom date. Even your coach acknowledged that fact (I'd quote and paste here but your teams locked). Then had Rob not bailed you out, you would have had overpaid Val Keaton on your team

Declaring interest means a lot, it says at least one of the following:

1) You're looking to improve at a position
2) You view the players you are interested as someone you would like on your team
3) Someone is the missing piece to your success

Then there's the agent's side of it of having his time wasted waiting for a contract offer from someone who told them they are interested in their client.

And if you think I'm just reading too much into it, if it truly didn't affect you/matter, Ian wouldn't have had your coach make mention of it.

Welcome Tim. Some advice that a few haven't taken:

- Don't trade with Hondo
- Read over all the threads, not just one or two, all of them, get an idea how the game is played, how to submit contracts, deal with issues.
- Never blow your coach off
- Don't trade with Hondo
- Ask Franchsie what he would do, and do the opposite.
- Don't play under the influence
- Don't take the ribbing to personally. It's fun.
- Give it back. If someone ribs you for making a bad signing or trade, make fun of them.
- Have fun

oh and don't trade with Hondo.

Look through a couple of team's threads to get an idea of how things work. When I decided to play, I ghosted another team for a while, thinking about how I would react to their problems and what changes I would make. I suggest you pick a team （not a top team）and ghost them for the rest of the season.

Some reading you can do to see several ways of doing things:

http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=18211.0 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=18211.0)

This is my old team, the Montreal Foresters, my first season playing the game, I sent a player to his death, brought a players ego down to Earth, convinced a coach that it would be best to sit our best player for his future, only to blame him when everyone asked why he was sitting. Then I slowly built my team up to something good before the team was taken away by the Super League

http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=18213.0 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=18213.0)

Three GMs in 4 years. A whole lot of "What not to do" here.

http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=16227.0 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=16227.0)

The Top Moment in FBL thread. A lot of the moments are top because they're funny for all the wrong reasons and a great reminder that this game is filled with bat shit personalities trying to deal with bat shit insane people.

As far as shadowing a team, I'd suggest one of the following:

Reno Shooters
Anchorage Glaciers
Boston Bells
Champaign Naturals

Reno is a good way to see how someone in the process of building the team and GM Hannibal is a newish GM who has done a lot of good things with his team

I GM Anchorage and am currently trying to rebuild the team after the disaster that was GM Franchise

Mike Powers GMs Boston, a team with a lot of history, some interesting personalities on the team, and is currently rebuilding the team as well. Powers has been around for a while and has done a lot of things he regrets and maybe one thing he's proud of so he's a good GM to read

GM Strike GMs Champaign, a brand new team with a lot of retread players with some personalities to them. Strike has been around just as long as Powers and also has made a few mistakes, but he had a good team in Texas a few seasons ago.

If my memory serves me right the final offer for a green interested player and the offer for an orange interested player get PMed, but I believe you are supposed to sell your team/reason for wanting to sign the green interested players in your team thread.

I know I did that with the one green I got back last season and I think a few others did as well. It might not matter. Perhaps Ian will give a recap of the process when Free Agency goes live.

I will explain free agency and our new format to stop debate.

If you get green that means the player has a high priority in wanting to play for you. It means as well you are required to pitch to his agent (or him/her if they dont have one) the benefits of coming to your franchise in your team thread. Call it a PR and sales job. You then submit a contract offer to me via PM for a green one maybe finishing your pitch with 'here is our offer, please take your time to go away and consider us'. That ends the conversation. Dont be hanging around for the agent to say 'ok' or 'bye'. People need to get better at this generally.

Orange means the agent/player is willing to receive a formalized offer from you (via PM) its a list of numbers. Any fluff on why they should join the team will be dismissed. You are offering a contract and depending on the players needs/wants he/she might go for money or potential success the team has to offer.

Red means they are not interested so you dont have to do anything.

The process of the pitches please just call them in one by one, dont expect responses from me, just post yourself. Make the assumption the agent/player has arrived and your pitching them.

Right now if you have an orange you should be submitting them to me. Can do them all on one PM if you lay it out right. Remember no fluff...

I am also going to introduce next season a "max salary cap" for rookies. It means you will be able to sign a rookie up to a max of 10 million a season (hurray he hears folk shout) but all rookie contracts will be a maximum of 2 years...time to make things interesting.

I was talking about shadowing a team for just this year with those four teams. The more important reading he should do are the links I gave him.

Honestly Kentucky and Puerto Rico are the worsts threads for new guys to read because Hondo and Justin have been there so long that Hondo blows off his coach and instead of getting the "coach quits" he still gets his top level coach dealing with an affair. And Justin fucked up Bobby Chang and the only person who cares is his coach, but not enough to be affected. You read those, you think have an idea of how to handle things but both of those two have far more leash to play with than everyone else.

Nah, you brought over a lot of talent and some picks with you. Tempe before Dorling's departure and New Mexico would be two to look at since both teams had one or two players to start with. I'm sure there were others but those two I remember having almost no players at the start of the season.

I'm not suggesting him to read those threads all the way, I'm saying to shadow for the rest of the year, to follow what the GMs do as they'll have similiar situations to what he's doing. 3 of the 4 are rebuilding in different ways, Reno is building a team with a young GM. You aren't rebuilding the team as much as rehabing your image using New Mexico as your rehab house.

Naw - Ty's managed to make trades with people before. Hasn't worked out well for him (see: Cunningham) but that's probably the best way to tell if someone makes fair offers is based on the number of trades they've made. The one thing I'd change in Reya's document is to put a stress that this game is about managing relationships, and it's not just with the players/coaches - but also the other GM's.

You have to be able to work with them at some point so to make enemies makes no sense. If I didn't like Black Death when he wanted to move up in the draft to get Laguana I wouldn't have listened to his trade offer. While he didn't get to keep that team - they ended up turning Laguana into T-Pow. It's the same reason I seem to make a trade with Strike and Gates each off-season, and made a couple deals with Reno last off-season based on our initial deal. It takes two to tango everytime and if they consistently are able to make sure that both parties feel they benefit then they're probably not putting you over their knee. I don't think Krazy will make a deal with Hondo this off-season after the reaction to their trade in the last.

Someone offered me a trade for my best player and had a forum signature that has the word trape in it. I asked and trape is trade rape. I don't trust offers from people with trade rape in their signature it makes me feel they want to take advantage of my inexperience.

The fella with "Trape" in his signature, isn't taking advantage of your inexperience, that would be the future deal you are offered from one Hondo and again, don't trade with him until you understand the game.

The guy with trape in signature as a joke, as when he first started out, he made trades with people that others (incorrectly most of the time) viewed as a trape. Knowing the gentleman the way I do, he probably offered multiple picks for the player he was asking for, and you do not have picks as it stands currently.

Lesson to be learned here: he's a sheep in wolves clothing.

It's not like I'm giving Bismarck shit. All are good players on good contracts. The person that takes over Bismarck will have the luxury of not joining an empty team and will have the money to spend. I've taken all the PR contracts away so now they're only spending 1.5m and their coaches so they will have a smegload of the stuff. The person that takes over there is going to be in a nice position of having money on their side.

Yep. Valentine is at the end of his career. Crane is a somewhat serviceable big man.

Meanwhile Dane is a soon to be top 3 point guard and Majoe is a top flight power forward. Not to mention Keaton can score 20 in any given game.

Yeah no, the Mississippi/Virginia trade was terrible.

This trade isn't bad when you think of it this way: The only pick that Baton Rouge had to give up was it's first round pick, which should end up being a good pick, he's not going to trade that pick in the deal.

Crane and Valentine are great players for a rebuilding team. They've been around for a couple seasons, aren't head cases, and are solid performers that aren't over paid on short contracts. Whoever takes over Bismarck needs to be patient with one of the most patient owners in the league.

Justin, how is Valentine at the end of his career? He's got at least two more years in him. That's enough for a new GM to work with. He's serviceable. And if we've learned anything, the grass is never greener.

Funnily enough, I applied for the Tempe job before Tim did and I made a trade offer which was a lot fairer than this, Ian countered with an offer that was even more lop-sided than the one you see me making with Baton Rouge.

Cause my rating with the team has been dropping, the general news stories are saying of impatience growing with me and the expectation to reach the play-offs just isn't feasible when your starting SG can't score a single point in one of your games.

Yeah, I get it... I quit on my team. Get over it.

If I make it through next week against two teams I expect to go 1-1 with, the week after that is probably an 0-2, I get fired and the opportunity to make this trade goes. It's a double-edged sword really because I've given Bismarck a few players alongside Majoe that should be in the play-offs the expectation is that is where I should be but I've surrounded them with fucking crap and it just won't happen

Then again, going by the last update of Ian's numbers thing, you're not entirely too green either.

But Jon leaving San Diego wasn't great for him (at first), Powers leaving Greenville for Calgary wasn't great for him, Strike leaving Tampa for Boston wasn't great for him, Cory leaving Tampa for Calgary wasn't great for him, Josh leaving Bismarck for Anchorage for Colorado wasn't that great for him given that he had Bobby Chang and Scott Cunningham and just had to calm down and put a team around them, Steven didn't do so hot after he left Roswell for Mississippi.

Obviously 9 teams aren't all going to make the conference finals, so it's not the end all be all, there's also the job you do getting to that point. So Reya, you're at a 6 because of the whole Head coach/assistant coach stuff, as the owners probably views that as hurting your chances to make your goal as well as making the wrong press.

Now Bismark have got mediocre players surrounded by "fucking crap." There's no dressing that trade up as fair or even remotely good for Jacksonville and your attempt to do so is more laughable than the trade itself.

I don't question you for jumping ship and taking all your good players. I question that option being there in the first place. I'm with Justin on this. Players should not be rewarded for jumping ship. As for not instantly winning the FBL title, you're right that this trade won't do that for you, but this trade does turn a team who was no threat in a division into an instant playoff contender. It's taken me two seasons of difficult trades to do that with Greenville (and I'm still not there) but you've done it in one trade.

I assume by Jacksonville you mean Bismarck...

So the fact Bismarck have a roster of 5 guys with Watchen and Crane being very capable as well as JR being a good veteran with 7 roster spots to fill and $68.5m to spend on them and $38.5m PR to spend is a bad thing. Thing is, anyone can probably go in there and make a better team than I did.

I've gone to Baton Rouge, maybe... I'll have $29m to spend on 6 players. The trade weighs the money in such a way that it makes it very, very difficult for me... And so it should. But to suggest I'm being rewarded and I have an easy ride to the play-offs next season is ridiculous. I put the crap in Bismarck and I have just as much potential to put crap in Baton Rouge too.

And by the way, I doubt very much that Ian is going to reward someone in such a way that makes jumping with your key players a good thing. There's going to be large obstacles thrown in my way and I enjoy the prospect of them. After all... It is a game. It's not a fucking job.

He still has to work, but now with the added bonus of trying to cobble together a new coaching staff and having a less patient owner. I wouldn't cry foul over this just yet, his new situation has similar problems and then some. Either way he needs to work, just like every other GM who has ever done this.

I mean, what if his star players want to go back to the team that drafted them? That happens. What if Flips players are the only players left by the time he gets to take over his team? That happens. What if his owner discovers he's accidentally employed a Brit and lynches him? That could happen.

I'm not kidding. The only thing Rob really did for himself was leave Bismarck before they fired him. He'll have the same set of problems and more heading into next season.

In that case, I'd like to offer a trade of Creed Jackson for Fi Mai. They're practically the same.

Kirk if you really believe I've given myself a bye next season then I'll take those 2 W's against you now.

And that's what I'm saying. Maybe Dane hates Baton Rouge, maybe I fail to fill a team around the player's I've bought and have to trade and plead for a team with less quality than the one I just left. Maybe, just maybe you're upset because Baton Rouge and Bismarck have basically swapped places.

If you think the trade is so good for the Jaguars and so bad for you, why don't you make the trade and just stay where you are? I haven't seen any announcements about you switching and surely your current owner will see things the same way.

Dear New Guy,

That's a TRAPE!

---

The trade is bad - we can all agree with that. The bigger thing is that usually when you look at these things people don't really put themselves into "better" situations. Patel is good and he's got a 1st round pick (which I think is the bigger obstacle to building that team in Bismarck than the return he got) but the issue is though he's got very little money to work with and is only going to be exacerbated by the fact he's going to have to pay extra for his coaches because there's no one available so he'll be poaching from other teams.

Every time someone makes a move like this it doesn't work out for them for a plethora of reasons; in this case it's the fact that his team will have no depth next year and no means of acquiring it (that's where losing out on FA really hurts) and we've proven you need that to win (see Honolulu, Puerto Rico and Seattle to name a couple big teams). Then the year after he's going to have to pay Majoe the max, give Patel a raise, Johnson a raise and really can't afford the depth.

I'd agree with that - I'm not defending the trade and I think it's stupid to do that.

These lopsided trades happen all the time when people jump ship. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it's been going on since the first few seasons. The allegory for everyone should be when Powers quit Boise to go to Mississippi and create a superteam, and then proceeded to cause benchgate, win nothing, and get fired.

It's easy to think about how crazy a team looks on paper, but the proof's in the pudding; statistically flawed teams have won titles and amazeballs ones have tanked.

Personally, I wouldn't do that. I think, for karma reasons, it's better to get fired and find a new home than to jump to a new one. Like Metro said, there's many things that can go wrong and fleeing one bad situations for somewhere new, isn't ideal most times.

Remember this, in this game, the grass isn't greener on the otherside. It's best to water you grass whenever you can.

Also, I don't think they got fucked, from point of view, only one player past next season as of right now, gonna be a rough go, but it's a patient owner who doesn't care about winning as much as he cares about his cats and his reputation.

The players Bismarck is getting aren't star players, but I'd hardly call them utter shit.  Keep in mind we've had players such as Twat Features in this league.  They're veteran players on a clearly rebuilding team which has honestly been in the process of rebuilding since I've come into the league.  While they probably won't do well the next season or two, whoever takes over will be able to get the players in that that would want and can build a bit through the draft which is what brought guys like Majoe there in the first place.

Again, you can't trade him.  He will be a free agent at season's end and another team will probably sign him that way.  For the remainder of the season while he's on your team, however, you can simply keep him on the bench and not play him or speak to him.

When a player reaches the last year of their contract, they are free to discuss contracts with other teams after the all-star game. Someone will sign him during that period but he will still play for you until the end of the season. You won't get anything for him, he just moves on at the end of the season.

There is a list of players who are available for Free Agency and where they are interested in going.

You can basically ignore Fredericks for the rest of this season and just play him from your bench.

My offer of Olicha and a 2nd round pick was being kind. Olicha may not have been the stud of a player I'm currently molding him into but the offer was probably the same value as the 1st round pick (Buck Fisher) you ended up with.

Not for nothing guys but when's the last time a big deal wasn't FCD'd and didn't get a news story about how something had been agreed but then not confirmed. That type of thing is usually in the media within a week.

I think it's much more likely that it's an oversight from Ian - considering the large break since that deal was agreed - than Hondo forgetting to confirm.

I figured it would be better to express interest in him, Ian confirm that Hondo FCD'd the deal and the interest being moot rather than to not express interest and have him wind up actually be an available free agent and missing out on him.

Yup. Pretty much this. It's worth a shot if it didn't get FCD'd and if it did...hey, Hondo continues to keep him.

He's one of the better, young players around...so yes, the price tag might be high if he is going into FA.

But he's a solid enough guy that many teams in the league could use/build around. Just depends on what you're looking to do.

I believe that's what his quotes of his talk with the agent is meant to do, but this is a first (since it's the second year of this free agency system).

Also it may piss off the agent and vinyl who are now intrigued by the market for the player.

Kind of an unfair move Kirk.

How's it unfair? He's on the updated list of Free Agents. If Ian made a mistake, he will correct it. If Hondo made a mistake, he's gotten away with it up until now but no other GM would be able to keep a player he didn't FCD a deal for without having to fight again to sign a contract. Vinyl is a player who would drastically improve my team, so I'm not going to ignore him as a free agent just to be nice to Hondo.

I updated the spreadsheet with the Vinyl deal and I almost always wait until a contract is FCD'd before updating.

I cant say for sure if Hondo did or didn't, but I'm willing to bet he did and Ian might have missed it on accident.

Either way, it's a pretty pointless thing to argue about. Ian will make the call when he gets on next.

Actually a fire truck and a fire engine are 2 different things. I learned this recently.

An engine is your basic hose/pump/water type device while a truck is the kind that has the extendable hydraulic ladders on.

We tend to think of trucks being smaller than lorries in the UK. I dont think anyone here would refer to a big articulated thing as anything other than a lorry.

Tim, u get it.

But Krazy has pissed off his coach by blowing him off after a press conference (NOTE ALWAYS TALK TO YOUR COACH AFTER ANSWERING PRESS QUESTIONS!) to talk to a player about re-signing who had zero interest in doing such. It only makes complete non-sarcastic sense to be irrationally angry at his teams clear "result of the GMs actions" performances to make him look completely in control of the team and totally not make him look like a jackass. This will completely totally prevent more performances like this.

And if this works clearly the next step is to trade everyone because that makes complete sense in the chain of events Krazy has set in motion.

In another universe, I'm being totally serious about everything I just said that wasn't parathenized.

Rumor has it he finished an entire season once.

There are also rumors that he had players on his team stage a siege that adversely affected pretty much the whole league.

Both of these rumors are actually true.

That's impossible. Teams are only allowed 12 players

Just a note for next season, although I will never be able to go into the detail of FG% FT% 3PT%, I can now give a total turnover number not just based off of steals. HURRAY! So you will see which players just turn the ball over cause they suck...and who actually creates steal opportunities. Its going to be a real eye opener.

Incidentally, next season the SL will not hire 3 coaches, just 2. The will have the same roster size as you guys and I have laid out the pdf different to get more information on SL grades, you can then compare this against their SL stats and hopefully realize which players might serve a role in the FBL...remember there is suppose to be a league standard difference, if you didnt know that...though IC the SL would deny that!

TWO NOTES

1. Answer your media questions as seen in the general news
2. After you have done that invite your coaches in to have a chat. Always speak to coaches as your first contact for the week. I am not going to repeat this.

When the man who has the sim and is in control of things says the same thing twice in the span of 10 days, you get that shit tattoo'd on your forehead for when you wake up and look in the mirror.

1. You will find that out in your team thread at the end of the season.

2. You send in your scouting after you take over the team after this season and before the draft. This is also when you hire coaches.

3. All after this season ends when the playoffs are over.

It's each individuals responsibility to know their own stuff. It's there as a helping guide. If you see a mistake, you can bring it to my attention and I'll be happy to fix it.

As for the fine, it was 4MM when I took the hit in Baton Rouge for over paying Vlad, and then I took over Birmingham as a self-punishment of sorts to take over the other team with a PR fine for similar problems, which was also 4MM in PR for the year, and that was 3-4 seasons ago.

My bad, I must have gotten some wires crossed. I've been filming all week and trying to do a bunch of this from my phone between scenes, so a lot of times 20-45 minutes go by in the time I try and do one thing and some of the details are getting jumbled.

I DID PM Ian my offer, then simply misunderstood his response. I also was under the impression that I was Manhattans last pitch and that last season players announced their new teams at this time, so when it looked like he agreed I didn't even think twice. It just made sense. I totally jumped the gun on that, sorry again.

You don't have to worry too much about the other contracts until next season, so you just need to find a way to get the agent back on side and don't piss anyone else off for the rest of the season. Losing Moore is bad for this season (losing Williams might have worked out better) but this league punishes mistakes hard, no matter how small or how new you are. Learn from it and move on.

Losing Fredericks and Moore frees up a lot of salary. He could trade Fisher and still have a good core with loads of space left on his salary cap. He doesn't have to trade Williams or Malone so he could get good deals for them if he chooses to do so. I think he's not in a terrible position other than the fine and those awful coaches. I'd be mad and having to rebuild the team again because of a mistake, but I wouldn't go postal about it.

He made a quick (decent) trade to solve one problem and just needs to manage the morale of the rest of the guys. If he follows the procedure (press--->coach--->players), takes responsibility for his mistake to the press and gives a bit of a pep talk to the guys who are left, he should manage to make it to the end of the season.

The worst has already happened. As long as he does the right things... like I said... he'll be fine. If he was going to be fired off what he did, he already would have. He made a good trade in return for Dru Moore. Now he just has to make it through the season and build off his first season being a learning experience and move forward.

If it was a more experienced GM (say you or me for example), probably would have been fired. But this being his first season, probably gets some slack in his line.

All of your remaining players are going into the last year of their contracts next season. Most of them will not want to play for you after that. You have got to start restructuring your team this season or you will have to sign 12 new players next season. I know you've got good players that you don't want to lose... but you are going to lose them. Trading them will at least get you something in return.

That's not so bad as long as he gets me the victory in the first place. If I get to the playoffs and the beat the Waves, I might go out on the court and join him in the celebration.

I think it has a lot more to do based on reputation.  I'm not sure any of the different cities have an advantage over the other except that the more demanding owners are usually the ones in larger "markets."
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on January 30, 2015, 11:43:46 AM
It's a slightly nebulous concept, but generally speaking larger cities are regarded as bigger markets. Obviously successful > big market, but it's been a Hollywood (for example) selling point for as long as the game's been going. Las Vegas and Seattle are two others.

The downside is that agents often expect slightly more money and/or PR.

You no sold the media a second straight week.

Do you ever take accountability for your action? lol

You needed to walk the tight line and do the right things the rest of the season to not be fired. You didn't. So you got fired.

Chalk it up as a learning experience. See what you did well and what you need to work on. Most of us go through the learning period of the game. I've been there too, mate.

This game is an A, B, C method.

Like Gates said, 30 other teams do this VERY SIMPLE A, B, C method.

You continue do C, A, B, even after we tell you bad things will happen and then bitch and are in shock that not following the very simple format gets you in shit.

Its a learning curve and you're fairly active and quick in this game and we can always use that, so just keep it simple silly or whatever that was from math class.

Everytime you post I just keep thinking of this

- missing press conferences
- alienating coaches
- exceeding salary caps

then thats his thing to be pissed. Doesn't mean we now have to shout 'told you so' at the guy. His firing was telling enough.

The consensus is that anyone that didn't sign is going to wait until the offseason for all GMs to get a shot, which makes sense. Why wait and see who had you as Plan B/C/D when you can get be plan A for some teams.

When I think of someone like Franchise Lite... you get half the mistakes of a Franchise. That is still a ton of mistakes.

Cory has really only messed up 3 times and albeit they were huge mess ups costing him good seasons and teams, he still also has a solid track record of building teams. Winning games.

I mean he has 68 more wins than you. 68!

Cory is sort of on the level of guys like Strike, Powers, Steven. They build good teams, but something always goes screwy on them in the end.

It happens all the time. No necessarily injustice but when you make constant mistakes getting fired is usually what happens unless you have an extremely high rep with your team.

To be fair, as a newbie I know it's Press Conference and then talk to your coach. You appeared to make a string of errors from a newguy POV and I can see why you were fired. You weren't doing anything to really identify it as an injustice...

IN MEMORIAM

THE SOUTH EAST'S DIGNITY IN SEASON 17: Tampa's a great team. Deep, balanced, well coached. That's how you can describe Tampa. Same could be said for Puerto Rico, but the rest that division, holy Ferndale. Mississippi which started with yet another "You brought me here but won't play me where I play?" situation with Felix Johnson (whose signing was a good reason I named Mississippi a loser in free agency last year). Then Jacksonville who could have continued to build on its solid first year before GM Gooch quit. GM Taurus failed to put together a team for another year, and then GM Krazy....nuff said.

Guess I need to add to this...

I assume that Ian means after the playoffs, which would kick into next seasons PR budget because you'd be working with next seasons rosters throughout the off season/pre season.

That is my least favorite part of this game, the "raping your team to move to another."

When I left Birmingham I made sure I left Ty and Rolo AND draft picks for you digger, because I didn't want to be the guy who pillaged a team to stock the pond on my next stop.


As a result, I made the finals 2 seasons later.

That was all the validation for my move that I needed, because I took over a terrible TERRIBLE Texas team.

Well, considering I'm already in trade discussions with two of them, you can probably count me in on the dog-eat-dog part. I was just hoping to clear away some of the competition. It would be fun watching Digger try to hire 5 guys with $7 million. Rob could probably manage without any trades if he signs a couple of "special" players to fill out the last two spots on his bench.

I don't think Birmingham is that bad of a gig.

You have 4 players, albeit all bench players. You could package them for a potential starter or two if you really wanted to. And maybe one or two of them could start if you couldn't find enough talent.

You have 1 first round pick and 2 seconds.

So that means you have to sign 5 free agents, which isn't that bad in comparison to most other teams.

Use next season to rebuild. You have 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks in S19 to rebuild some more.

It's really not that bad of a place to be.

If I was GMless, I'd embrace the challenge.

It's a good thing Madame barely remembers there is a basketball team in Roswell. In this instance anyway.

Just to note I mentioned earlier about total turnovers being included in box scores, I forgot to take out the turnovers in the New Mexico game processed, none were created via steal in their game with San Diego.

What is the lottery system?

It's just like the NBA does it. It's the way Ian has always done it here too.

It's why the worst team doesn't always get the best draft pick.

Worst record gets their name in a hat 32 times.
The next 31 times.
So on and so forth.

Then you draw out of the hat.

In Ian's case, he uses random.org.

The more times you have your name in the hat, the higher the odds you get a high pick.

No, they're not. 14 teams are in the lottery, but they only draw three teams. The rest are placed based on record (worst to best), so in their system the worst team in the league can't drop below the 4th pick.

All lottery teams are drawn for the first 3 positions only in the NBA. And then like Digger said, fill out the rest by record.

But they are drawn for all non-playoff positions in the FBL.

Can I just make a comment in regards to the calls for auto-lock that it's essentially been two days that the threads have been unlocked, and over a weekend as well? I mean - if Hannibal or Domingo had simply gone away for the weekend to take the kids to an amusement park, to see relatives, a work project is due on Monday and so have worked all weekend, or a million other reasons that they may not have looked at the boards (I have not looked at whether they have signed onto the boards as a caveat to this). If this were a week I would be all for it - but two days seems a bit much and I hope in the future if I was in the same situation that a modicum of patience and understanding would be granted to me.

Just my two cents that's not even worth that much.

4. What did you make of the news story concerning your team?

You just need to look at the stats to see that Yablo is right. I'm sure he'll be inside Scott Cunningham again multiple times when they face off against each other in playoffs.

What was your first trade?

Here was mine:

Hollywood Stars (GM TyTy) gets:
Las Vegas 2nd Round Pick - S10 (Pick was passed in the draft)
Nyako Umjumbo - C

Las Vegas gets:
To look at Hollywood's scouting for next season.

-----

Ty-Buck-Ty really tried to take advantage of me when I first joined the FBL. Looking back through everything, I got duped a few times by him, haha.

Anyways, it's pretty interesting to see what trade you made the first time.

So you propose J. Closeness, C. Mai and the 9th overall pick for B. Jones, the 6th overall pick and the 14th overall pick? I can live with these terms.

Brad Jones
6th pick
14th pick

for

Chui Mai
Jerry Closeness
9th pick

I really thought I was taking Hondo to task for this trade too. Then he went and won the league while I...didn't.

I made the trade because at the time, I needed to get out of Blade's shadow. And I needed to get guys on the team that wanted to play for me. So I made the trade with Powers to get the #3 overall pick (which turned out to be Dennis Reigns). I was fired from Vegas as soon as the trade happened.

Powers and Dorling came to a deal to send Lights back to Vegas.

Personally, I think we are going to have a major look at the GMs next season. Jose Ramon has been quite quiet, not sure where Hannibal is and thus meaning Brad might also be out as well. So before we worry about Kirk's replacement, we better make sure we have enough players playing full stop.

Although my passion isn't extremely high, it's workable.  If I'm needed I can jump in.  Just don't want to take a spot from somebody who wants it more.

Does this mean Jag goes back to Montana?

I'm still in, but things are getting pretty hectic for me lately. My girls are in clubs at school, and my studies are taking up a lot of my time, not to mention I'm taking on a lot more duties and responsibilities at work. Please don't take my lack of activity as disinterest as a slight on anyone or trying to hold the game up.

Nah, you're alright, those were the days where we allowed trading from post-training camp until lock in for Week 1, which is why some sheets may look crazy different altogether.

And don't worry on the sheets. I've been hoarding them ever since joining the game and have a FBL folder with all this stuff in it plus the graphics for the jerseys and such. lol

Had hockey sticks in it. Bothered me that a basketball team had hockey sticks in its logo.

Now I know how everyone felt after wwe put Bryan in the title match. And Ian feels like Vince.

"THIS FUCKING GUY WONT SHUT UP ABOUT THIS DAMN LOGO!"

I am currently working on putting together a mini guide to teams histories and characters in the FBL universe and could use some help volunteer wise. If anyone would like to note a special trait (like say Conrod Class always saying ...smart basketball) about anyone on the list here:

http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=15674.0 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/boards/index.php?topic=15674.0)

that would be great, specifially looking FBL universe characters and storylines they have been in. In terms of the owners/pr/docs maybe an action they constantly do.

Further to this any specific news stories which became "Gates" so to speak would be awesome to include. I don't want a ton of stuff posted in the OOC thread so if people want to volunteer to tackle certain things and go from there it would be great. I need this to develop quite rapidly over the next week or so.

Commissioner Trumps - Without a doubt the man with the biggest heart for forgiving murderers, kidnappers, and overall terrible people, (mainly GM Franchise) and allowing them to still earn a paycheck.

Dean Pressed - If not giving a fuck was an Olympic sport, Dean would be a gold medalist every time, but he wouldn't give a fuck. That's how many fucks he doesn't give.

Paul Ling Sr. - overall cockbag for stealing Montreal from the FBL, overall savior for stealing Calgary from the FBL.

(More serious ones to come possibly)

Probably let the dust settle a bit, I'd appreciate if a vet could PM all the GMs and let them know FBL Season 17 has concluded and soon FBL Season 18 will begin well the offseason so now you can begin discussing your trades. Krazy, never told me what PR he wanted to use so I am voiding that...plenty of chances and never did anything with it so all that is reset for next season and you cant use S18 PR on S18 College players...if you catch my drift.

Thank you all for a tremendous season once more, been an up and down one, but without your guys enthusiasm for the game we wouldnt keep going. Its quite a proud feeling. Lets hope for full GMs into the game next season and I am sure the flood gates will open as this is all your guys favourite times.

I am going to increase the injury probabilty next season in the SIM with expanded rosters so its more realistic. Lots of small changes here and there to try and make it more fun for you guys especially the vets who keep on playing season after season.

Once more here is to you all and thanks. Congrats J-Reb and Blade on an excellent finale this season and J-Reb for taking the crown.

Cheers guys
Ian

And if you want to do the audio show as well, willing to help on that front too.

First of all +1 for doing this.  Awesome job as always.

Couple of things for my team I noticed though...

Bedwell Brown was a C+ last year and has 1.5 million PR.
Terry Christie was a C-.
Pablo (It's Pablo, not Paublo) Luis' deal was for 3 years.
I think you forgot the 2 million PR transfer fee from my Cunningham for Rogers deal.

Regional Scouting will see you receive a list of previously unseen players - well worth 2 million PR as long as you have an assistant coach

Not at all. I'm new too - just put into future deals *My Team* spends 2million PR on Regional Scouting.

Then PM Ian to say which region you wish to scout as though you are asking your AC.

When you sign one of the regional scouting guys, if you could include the position when you FCD it. That'd help out a lot. Some of you have been doing it and it's helpful, thank you.

Guys, you'd probably save me a lot of time by keeping an eye on interactions with free agent coaches and free agent players in other team threads. That way it would give you an indication if asking certain players to join for shit money and terms or coaches with certain career aspirations is a waste of time or not.

Will catch up with everything when I can.

I'll be home in an hour or so. I'll get to updating it, if I put something that's been confirmed that hasn't let me know

Glad you like your team, but your bench is going to be dreadful from 6 to 12.

I'd take Ty and Wallace and a bad bench over Majoe and Sampson and a bad bench, more so because I see Majoe as less effective in this offense due to the volume scorers you already have. 

If you re-sign Tre and can build around him its a good move for the future, but aye, I just think you're about where you were before only now you're stuck with a bunch of bad bench players for multiple years.

I didn't scout him or anything, but for some reason pure point guards tend to go lower than they should, much the way centers tend to go higher.

Probably because many people in the draft up until a certain point had point guards they were happy with or people had reports on guys and took them when they could to make sure they got them.

I'd rather see a Cory/Krazy comparison. I think TyTy made one math mistake (which has happened to a lot of people, including a championship winning GM) but really didn't do much else. His teams were just decidedly mediocre most of the time.

So what have we learned today folks?

1. Krazy is not to blame. We all need to stop setting him up for failure.

2. Timbuktuo is not TyTy pretending to be a 9th grader.

3. Metro is not wanting to trape Krazy.

I think that does it.

Post by: Gravedigger on March 04, 2015, 11:38:30 PM
Krazy, you may not end up paying any attention to this, but I'm going to throw it out there...

Your season is over. It's an absolute dud. You might have the worst team in FBL history. Part of that is my fault in trading Harry Allen and Ty Williams before I left, but I chose to look our for myself instead of leaving Birmingham in a good place. So this is what you should do:

1. Accept your fate
2. Enjoy the season

Have fun this year. If you take it seriously with the shit stack of a team you have you'll get frustrated, so try and have fun with your squad. And use the season to read up on other threads and try to learn the game. Read the work of Hondo, Jon, Talon, TJ, Pancho, Blade, and other successful GMs to see how they navigate the game. Prepare for season 19 so you are ready to roll once that time comes around.

I know missing free agency sucks, but figure out how to proceed at this point. See if a SL team will accept a transfer with your remaining PR. Try and trade with another team. But don't blow up at everyone. Yes, you missed the majority of assets that were available, but Ian can't sit around and wait until all 32 GMs are logged on at the same time. It probably never happens, so he determines when the offseason kicks off. And it ends up first come, first serve.

PAY ATTENTION.... This is a key. I've learned the hard way in another place. I violated the salary cap and the in-season trade rules back to back... and now I don't have a team. The way you don't draft a guy who's already been picked is by reading the thread and checking before you submit your choice. Making mistakes can be helpful down the line as long as you learn from them.

I hope this info is helpful, if you so choose to read it. I'm not trying to be condescending in any way. I've made mistakes in these games and am trying to learn from them, some times with better success than others. But use the resources around you.... in other words, ask for help if you need it. This is a good group of people. If you ask nicely this group will be more than happy to help you out.

But most importantly have fun this season.... your team is abysmal.

Not true.

Texas has no coaches. He tried talking to Rankine and was then informed of some scouting stuff and then disappeared.

He and Marcelo want head coaching jobs.  They're not going to take less and if they do it'd be more than I have to offer to make it happen.  So much for hiring a youth coach that actually could be one, I guess...

I think he is right in taking the stand.  If he takes this ramming in the ass with a razor wired dildo then the stigma will carry with him.  Take BD for example...agents know they can ask a premium for their guys because BD has a history of spending huge amounts on contracts.  Take Franchise...he's been historically bad so in order for him to get decent players he is going to have to pay extra.  Krazy is trying to quell that in the beginning and I applaud him for that.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jon on March 08, 2015, 07:20:23 PM
If you build a rep on signing players for more than they are worth... then you end up in Franchise/BD land.

Where they continue to sign players for more then they are worth.

He is setting a precedent that he won't be taken advantage of. Sometimes you lose players because of this. But if he stays int he FBL long enough, he'll see the rewards of that.

Talon immediately comes to mind for someone not afraid to lose someone for asking for more money then they are worth.

And who is to say Feeler isn't a D graded player.

I back Krazy on that decision, wholeheartedly.

First, you need to fill a full team (I think you need 4 more players? There might be some leftover from the draft, as well as regional scouting possibilities) and get a youth coach.

Then for off season training, you get three choices and yes, you pick the players and what you want them trained on.

This is from the rules.

I figure it as being that some of those guys were the most "pro ready" players at the time while some of the top picks, while still needing of development, have a better potential to get to those "pro ready" grades and maintain them for a longer period of time.

Also figure this is something that'll depend on coaching to keep consistent and unfortunately in Talon's case...

20ppg is probably gonna be hard now with more players seeing playing time. Players that may once have been 20ppg guys might only be 15 now.

Depends on your coach, how good your bench is, and your strategy.

He has Dick Felcher on his team, who I'm guessing is terrible based on name alone (hence why I stayed away from him though I haven't looked at that team sheet to know for sure).  Hence he was felched.

Newton is like, the best of the worst players.

I mean, Chucky Dorrance was graded D-, and Newton still never managed 14 turnovers in one game.

List comes out.

Player list with their top team desitnations.

You can pitch to as many FA's as you want.

You'll get a color...

- GREEN MAKE A FRANCHISE PRESENTATION TO HIS AGENT IN YOUR TEAM THREAD THEN PM MOD YOUR OFFER. THIS MEANS THE FREE AGENT HAS A SERIOUS INTEREST IN JOINING YOUR TEAM SO WOWZER HIM!

- ORANGE MEANS PM MOD YOUR OFFER. THE PLAYER HAS A PASSING INTEREST IN YOUR FRANCHISE AND IS LOOKING FOR A DECENT DEAL TO JOIN.

- RED MEANS THE PLAYER ISNT INTERESTED SO DONT WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS!


Then Ian will announce which player signed where.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Jennifer on March 11, 2015, 08:19:26 AM
Edit: Jon noooooo. I'M POSTING MY EXPLANATION ANYWAY.

How it works is that, close to the beginning of the season, Ian will release a list of all the players in contract years, accompanied by a 1-4 ranking of preference for teams that they are interested in going to. This does not mean that they won't go to any team not on this ranking, or that they won't re-sign, just that those are the teams they're interested in.

A separate field indicates whether they are willing to re-sign, haven't made up their mind, or are committed not to re-signing.

As All-star break approaches, Ian will request PMs from people paging their interest in upcoming free agents. Then, another PDF is released with the names of the players, accompanied by their willingness to sign with a given team that has pitched interest in them.

Red means they're not interested at all.
Yellow means to PM Ian with a contract offer, which they will accept or not based on their own needs and ambitions.
Green means to make a pitch to the player's agent in a thread, where you aim to 'sell' your team to them - usually this will involve answering a couple questions from the agent with regards to what role your forsee for the player, which then rounds off with you making an offer.

Once the Free agency week concludes, Ian releases a final statement (usually in general news), which indicates where various players ultimately decided to sign.

ROOKIE GUYS:

You don't have to say thanks/happy to have you here in your thread without line breaking and making your next move, it just forces Ian to do a "shakes hand and leave" post which would drive me crazy if I was a mod.

It's always good for your post to have a question/move to end it, so that you get a reply that progresses your thread.

This is especially helpful/important during the season/free agency when lots of people are posting and your position in the response chain can be the difference in you getting your man or watching him be FCD'd before you even get a reply.


Just my 2 cents, but hey... roll how you please.

Nigel .... I am looking to see if both Dex and JC - both currently in their final year of their rookie contracts - would like to sign on to stay with us for many years to come. I know that when Virgil approached me last year and asked me to come on board in Virginia and bring both Dex and JC to the franchise we have a plan in place to have many successful seasons here.

I would offer both max contracts beginning in Season 19 -  for 4 year deals at 25 million per season. We can work out the PR ... I understand they may be interested in looking at their options but was inquiring to see if something could be done prior to the start of training camp.

That's not Elmer Fudd.

Plus, I'd say Foghorn Leghorn was more of a Southern stereotype.

Maybe it's because I was raised in the North within a tolerant family, but I never saw these caricatures as racist or bigoted, but I didn't experience any culture other than my own for the most part (I live in one of the whitest areas in the nation.)

You misintepret my point.  This isn't some hill I'm trying to die on but merely using it as a chance to enlighten.  For you Speedy Gonzalez was a great cartoon and for me it was too ... but if you called me Speedy on the street because he and I both Mexican we'd have a problem.


I'm just explaining the point that you and I saw the same PR from a different angle and the player and Seattle fans seem to be siding with me ... or Ian randomizes the PR like I always thought and you got hit with left hand red and Ian couldn't do the move so you got red PR

I dont see the point in the debate on cartoon characters and racial stereotypes, its just a bit of fun this game. You might even note from time to time there is the occasional character that has a bit of white bed sheet wearing to his resume.

Chill out all, this game has a bit of an extreme element like that, its not meant to offend, its just suppose to be fun and lets try to calm down shooting each other down in the OOC...again this is suppose to be fun, a game set in an alternative universe where the characters and their reactions literally make fuck all sense with our own universe :)

2 guys eating up half of his salary......with 10 players left to sign......not a good situation.

Not to mention they probably would've each signed for $18-$21 million, saving $8-$14 million.

It gives him a great core - he just needs to accept that he'll have role players filling in around the edges.

Yes .... I screwed up the training. Good Lord. I know I am a bizarre GM and make moves that confound and confuse - at least I have the positions right for once - and understand this is all in fun, but good god.

I really didn't know I had screwed it up. Had no idea. However, this time of year is completely nuts, for me.

Believe me ... If you had to cover the insanity that is the University of Connecticut women's basketball team - you would indeed lose your mind.

Anyway ... I never expected JC and Dex to both decide to accept my offer.

My feeling was blow them away with max offers and see what happens since I never had any issues with either of them -  and they accepted. I knew if I waited - or offered less - I wouldn't have had any chance at bringing one or both back.

They are my core. If they didn't accept then everything I did - leaving to go to Virginia - as crazy, idiotic, whacky or maybe even genius for that matter - would have gone down in flames.

Now ... Until my next confusing and bizarre - Stephen Ross esque move ...

Well atleast one of them increased, the other decreased.  Still not the end of the world, but still not trade bait either as no one is going to pay 25 million for a B player, unless one of the rebuilding teams take him on, but then it looks bad and will screw their wage structure.

I guess its a curse in Virginia.  BD and Reya really ruined that team lol

It's a new league now with the extended rosters.  Who knows how things are going to play out - there aren't exactly an abundance of B players floating around that are available...so, perhaps, the $25m won't be too much of a burden.  Plus we've seen where the longer players stay with a team, they more productive they are, and sometimes produce above their grade levels. 

Lincoln Frazier took a little while but because Jag didn't play around with him and/or trade him to a bunch of teams, he eventually became one of the top 4-5 players in the game.

Thats kind of what I mean.

He had the cap space, he has a team built around it.  There wasnt an abundance of 'bench' players apart from through scouting and even some of those were hit and miss.

Maybe their 'positive' attitude due to awesome contracts will benefit the team

I think is bad whenever you put half of a team's salary into 2 guys. He that's 50 mil for 10 other players, and it shows he has 5 D or worse guys on his bench and his AC, the coach that helps better the bench, is a D. He was able to build because he just filled his bench with regional guys who are bad and because his next best guys are rookies who most likely be on the team in two years.

He's expected to make the playoffs and I don't think that is going to come close in that division....BUT THAT SPOILS MY EDITORIAL!!!

That was a different FBL, like Rebel said, it's a new one with a deeper bench, where you could win a title going 6 deep. It's also a league with more injuries to come. You need depth. Teams are going to find that out this year.

Maybe future confirm your agreement with your assistant coach like Ian himself said in the trade discussion, then spend 2 mil to scout a region of the world and sign a player..........

Also, Raja is named on Seattle who locked in as well as Birmingham...so you need two players...not one.

I was just foreshadowing Sasso's future feelings about him, much like Jag did when I had him as my coach.  I didn't actually hire him though, but I was stupid enough to give him an extension which ultimately got me fired.  I'm working on not making stupid decisions like that anymore.

As of Season 18 - There is no requirement to protect players from SL "poaching", if you want to acquire a player from the SL you can negoiate a "transfer fee" with the SL for the player. All this takes place in offseason mode ie the preseason. Further to this SL players can also negoiate a "transfer fee" with you to sign FBL players. This pot either way comes in and out of your PR budget. The transfer fee is not applicable if the player is out of contract

I am just moving some stuff around. I need to confirm from you guys if I am right in thinking only one player was left unsigned from this years draft in the form of Kaz Shun.

Problem with Krazy delaying the game is it really delayed all the offseason stuff I have to do which includes the recap of the Division I have done with other teams.

You guys will have to bear with me a bit.

Also, I didn't think Krazy's play was fair to Stoner so I have created a 'scandal' to free up Stoner at least having a shot at winning the odd game here or there which given the 3 players gone and Youth Coach/Player gone wouldnt have been possible in my estimations of the sim.

Ok so, with those four players gone I have 53.20 mil cap space and 10.50 PR space.  I am looking at the Spreadsheet and other than the two people unsigned everyone else is in the Super League.  I saw the new rules about buying out Super League folks, I take it I'm gonna have to do that to fill out the rest of my roster, correct?  Just wanna be sure I do this right since its been a while, and even then there have been changes(like a 100mil budget and a whole new coaching position!).

Ok, I have a rough idea of who I'm gonna hire.  This is how its looking.  None are too great, but its my options, you know?

Pedro Manilla - PG - C+ (Would replace Weiner - PG - F)
Terry Fields - SF - C (Would replace Feeler - SF - F)
Olf Erikson - PG/SG - C (Would replace Klin - PG/SG/ - D)
Sven Karlson - PF/C - C (Would replace Flips.)

Only thing I'm lacking at this point is a Youth Coach.  All other coaches seem to be hired, so that means I'd need one of my current (or an unsigned) players to do it.  Anyone know if anyone would be amicable to the idea before I start shopping around?

Ok cool.  So I only need 3 of the 4 replaced, and there is already someone wanting to come see me about the coach job.  Sorry about that, it was the first thing I read this morning when I woke up, so some of the details must have escaped me.  And I didn't see anything about Ernest Champley either, unless it was mentioned in the recording I haven't had a chance to listen to yet.

The really awesome thing about it is that for a while, we were never really sure on coaches of certain grades as to how their advice would come out if you asked certain questions...these reports have done a brilliant job in showcasing how important your coaching is plus stick with the personalities.

I think that's just a list of the guys, not their projections, Ian's not the type to just leave something out of it, especially something he could just copy and paste the format and enter the info then.

This is basically just a heads up for Ian (which is super late, sorry) but I'm cool with being auto-locked for however many weeks I end up missing. Just so that the game can keep moving.

ZaZa is great for food...ie filling up. All you can eat from different types of dishes. The Living Rooms is around there and there are some nice bars down that part of the city as its all water front. Casino is ok, I use to have a membership, but live too far away now with other casinos closer.

As you head out of Zsa Zsa you are in whats called Millenium Square from memory...there is some mexican restaurant type bar place I 'think' I had been in before across the road. Round the corner is a Weatherspoons which is alright...if you head back to the square bit. Living rooms is there, plus one or two other bars. I think even Ocenianas is down there, but honestly it was total wank when I was last there (granted I am more senior than yourself mate) and smelled of poor people trying to score that evening.

Your best bet is the bars around there. If you can find it Hyde and Co.

Old fashioned speak easy :)

Hausbar is also cool.

You will all be pleased to know first two games of Season have been simmed. I am now counting as noted total turnovers not just related to steals. Also with full 12 man teams its been really interesting (for the mod in me) to see how teams have played out. For example seems to be a larger spread of scoring with nobody even hitting 20 points in a game so far.

Anyway carry on

QuoteIf you fire a coach or release a player you are obligated to pay out their contract for the remaining years you originally agreed. If a Coach walks out on you, you are given back their salary for the season provided they walk out during the season.

You pay that player until the end of the contract.

You terminate a contract you get it back in salary but repay termination in pr money same as always. You will also repay the contract for the remains years

Ie 2 year deal on 2 million a season would be either a 4 million pr hit in one or 2 million or hit over this and next season

South Eastern the first to lock in!

Can we get Reya back in our division ... Digger takes too long. We were first nearly every week last year save I think one and only one thing has changed (not counting Taurus who said to be auto-locked).

My team has netted me the most points in two games I've ever had with any of my teams... and I've never started the year with 2 wins...


I feel like I'm gonna be that team that has a hot start then... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.


But I'm gonna ghost ride this whip til it happens!

You're use to the standard in teh south east. In the north west, we are prompt. On time is late, 15 minutes early is on time, and being the last division to lock in is unacceptable.

When the league reduces the amount of teams it has. Instead of promotion system the most soccer leagues has, some leagues of other sports contract rather than expand.

That last expansion really hurt IMO. The Reno, New Mexico, Jacksonville, Morgantown class of expansion wasn't needed, especially with expanded rosters now.

When the league reduces the amount of teams it has. Instead of promotion system the most soccer leagues has, some leagues of other sports contract rather than expand.

That last expansion really hurt IMO. The Reno, New Mexico, Jacksonville, Morgantown class of expansion wasn't needed, especially with expanded rosters now.

That would make me sad if certain GMs were jobless

People always get fired and jobs open up. Plus a season off is good, I really enjoyed the time I had away from the game and watch people play.

The whole issues is the amount of teams and the roster sizes kind of compounded that issue and took it to a whole 'nother level.

Some GMs learn better from the bench...  And if you aren't sure you will have a job next season you are less likely to do stupid things to get fired.

Time consuming?

Post by: The TeeJ of Philly on April 22, 2015, 08:12:49 PM
I disagree. It's time consuming, just not incredibly time consuming.

In the offseason when you're taking over a team that is devoid of talent, it's time consuming to put together a team worth having, one worth putting interest in. Adam was around to do that and he was interested in it. I can tell you if I didn't have time when I started to put together a decent team, I probably wouldn't be as interested in the game as I am.

During the season, sure it's not time consuming but that's not when new mangers take over, they take over at the time when it is time consuming.

I feel we have too many teams (have no problem with the roster size, I like it), but at the end of the day, If Ian says the amount of teams is fine, then the number teams are fine.

But to say it's not time consuming, to me is a lie. Last night, I missed Ian's bunches of updates which, had I had more I wanted to do before locking in, would have held the game up from advancing. Personally speaking, when I miss when is is on for multiple updates, I feel as if I'm holding the game up, making it less efficient. And I'm about efficiency.

It is time consuming, again, not overly. It's not like fantasy football where I can just set my line up and be done with it. There's more to it than that. You're managing personalities and trying to figure out the way to fix a situation you're in, I feel like new players aren't told that ahead and we tell them to look at Kentucky and Puerto Rico to learn the game  which are terrible ways to look at the game as a new guy because you see two guys whose reps are incredibly high do things average guys couldn't.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Gates on April 22, 2015, 09:41:32 PM
I think the best way to sum up the time consuming bit is that it's as time consuming as you make it. Yeah, a new manager taking over a team will get hit with a bunch of stuff to do all of a sudden, but I think that's where Ian is speaking from when he talks about more committed managers.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Reya Serra on April 23, 2015, 01:14:49 AM
Yeah the regular season's pretty much like this.

- Answer Media Questions
- Talk To Coach
- Talk To Players (Optional)
- Lock In
- Repeat

It does make things difficult sometimes to get those things accomplished in a timely fashion with the majority of us living in North America and the mod living in the UK, but it's not so difficult that it's unmanageable.

In the end though, in terms of the people that play it this game's kinda like mafia in that there's always going to be people more committed to playing it than others.

I wasn't thanking you Michael.

You see, I have done my best to be respectful to you, one because you were a hell of a player in this league and two because when I arrived you were under this contract that pays you a lot of money for a long time.

I have gone to bat for you in the press room, I have worked to encourage you in our private conversations, and I have done my best to put a team in place that you can easily coach successfully, but when I hear on EZPN that you are out there saying YOU are the one doing the hard work to cover MY slack, I have to draw the line.  I need you to assure me that you are going to go to the press and clarify your comments, and apologize to me publicly. 

Your comments were neither factual or appropriate, and if you do not believe that then perhaps you should have taken the offer from the Super League and gone to "greener" pastures.

T-Bone vs. America

TyTy vs. TimBuckTy (You see, its a rivalry against himself)

Chris Shields vs. Commissioner Trumps

Franchise vs. Rest of FBL GM's

Chucky Dorrance vs. Fax Machine

Aces vs. Stars as well over the last few seasons since Jen's taken the team on.

Just to keep everyone aware, I think some of the love for FBL has died off a little. Hey, I am glad we got this far...and I guess my over ambition of trying to bring in more and more teams kind of failed given the long absences between lock ins.

I am going to drop 8 teams from the league next season...we will go back to 24 total teams. 12 in each Conference...no more divisions with a different playoff format.

I am basing this decision to keep the game moving forward quicker for the regulars and also make it a bit more of a kudos to run a FBL team rather than me almost begging people to play the game.

I will try and keep a lot of the original franchises with history, some of the newer ones will get the chop. But obviously not the GMs. Those committed to the game will always have a place here in the FBL.

Its a tough decision and certainly not an easy one...but its one I think I have to make for the future of the game to at least have some momentum.

Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on May 31, 2015, 12:11:05 AM
I am also basing some of the decision making in terms of "franchise cutting" around ones without storylines going forward I have in play. So for example...San Diego will probably be cut seeing as the GM hasn't been around much and its a franchise that has really never got off the ground.

I'd like to stress though to people, dont take this as a slight from me at all. I have listened to a lot of what has been said in there being too many teams now (not enough particpants alongside) and constantly having to look at autolocks cause of slower reactions from GMs.

I have also been guilty of slower reactions recently, but I do need GMs to be reactive and that only works if the GMs are active so to speak!

I'm a little stunned, actually. The Hondo era...


-


That having been said I think you've made the right decision, Ian. I, still, am obviously an FBL diehard, but of late it's seemed like things have been stretched a little too thin. Hopefully this will let us get back to a somewhat more focused league - with a bit less work on your part and a full cadre of enthusiastic players instead of 75% fully committed and 25% sort of here but not really.

Am here as long as you'll have me, mate. This is a fantastic game and I completely trust your decisions on how it needs to move forward.

Post by: T-Bonizzle on May 31, 2015, 10:13:14 AM
I think it's a great decision, having the GM pool slightly bigger than the team pool means jobs matter more, and if seasons are quicker as a result GMs who are sitting out won't have too long to wait.

I would figure you can keep it private and PM Ian IC while trying to get a hold of the other team's owners to perhaps work something out while still playing out this season.

I would also assume that if you got said job, you would be out for the rest of the season. At least that has been the case in the past when GMs switch teams.

Perhaps the players that don't get sniped by the SL will end up in some sort of draft. Perhaps there won't be as many rookies in the draft and more of a mixed bag.

Jacksonville Juice
Morgantown Flyers
Portsmouth Defenders

Tempe Flying Squirrels
San Diego Seagulls
New Mexico Vigilantes
Colorado Hooks

Right following on from this we obviously have some GMs who are jobless...I think this will make the game more interesting as well as it now MEANS something to have a GM job here in the FBL and not me running around scouring for people to sign up.

I do appreciate that means some folks will be left out, so what I am saying is of the current GM crop (employed) if you are not committed to the game don't feel like you have to follow through for the sake of it. We got guys waiting in the wings who would like a shot.

Right...couple of house keeping scenarios.

There is no plan to "retire franchises" outside those mentioned, that is not to say some things won't or couldn't happen to exsisiting franchises (new owners, move cities). You should know though that the 8 teams mentioned are gone...giving us 24 for the league next year.

I have begun moving from those 8 teams gone players into a general free agency pool (those remaining in the game). These player options wont be availble to GMs come the free agency bit post All-Star break. Only players with contracts expiring next season.

Some players will sign for the SL, that is a given and you will see names pop up in General News and in the FD thread. The FD thread is more a house keeping for me in those movements, just react to General News. It will also stop people all bidding on say Cam Drake straight off the bat.

Breaking it down...

Adam Wrong cut a trade deal with Y Las Vegas player with X Mississippi player...regardless whether he left or not that trade stands. That trade of X to Vegas and Y to Mississippi stands. Since Mississippi is set to see out the season, that trade will go through BEFORE they withdraw from the league next year. X will therefore be an Ace at season end, Y will be a Steamer. Steamer folds, Y therefore becomes free agent in pre season of Season 19.

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed my time in the FBL even with my GM skills rivaling that of the late 1980s and early 1990s LA Clippers.  Good to see that as bad as I messed up Virginia that somehow the Colonials pulled out a victory over Morgantown in my final tragic week with perhaps the worst bench ever.  Anyway, Good Luck to all of you still on board and thanks to GM Franchise for getting me on board a few years back ....

Yeah, but I figured I played the chances with my guys being known as a commodity (TRI FLY, as shown by Smith wanting to break away from the other as per my news story) as oppose to bringing all my best players that had no sort of unity.

But of course it wouldnt.

I'm fine.  Thanks to those that have asked and I'm sorry if I unintentionally worried any of you with my abrupt absence.

As for FBL, it took that time away from the boards for me to come to the conclusion that I simply don't want to play anymore.  I'd like to apologize to Ian for doing so in the middle of a season as well as not contacting him about doing this before now.  He didn't deserve that from me and for that I'm sorry.

In closing, I just wanted to say thanks to Ian for giving me the opportunity to play with you all.  I'll still probably look in on the boards every so often to see what's going on.  Until then, I wish you all the best.

I have updated the destinations list and retired list which are now pdfs under the breaking news for next week about the sprout up of new leagues. Please anyone NOT locked in, dont refer to this. I figured you active guys need all this information in order to begin processing free agency in a few weeks.

Please note if you are an active GM and have interest in anyone on the free agency list, can you please register your interest again. Only do it for players INTERESTED in going to your team.

As for those who are now being approached by coaches from the rival leagues. Please conduct your regular business of press conference and coach Q&A before speaking with them. Its your only warning on this!!!

Hi Guys with free agency on the horizon and active GMs looking to move players for next season here is the current destinations stuff. As well a sneak peak at the "current" rosters for the AAA, SL and Euro Ball leagues which could help in terms of where you want to pitch surplus to requirement players and with who.

I never said anything about any sort of vendetta. It was a dig at me though, and one that was uncalled for.

I've payed this game for what, 8 seasons? 9? I dunno, I've lost track. I've also been a member of these boards for over 5 years now. Not once have I been auto locked, or disappeared unexpectedly, leaving people hanging. And in that time, I've seen countless people auto locked for a variety of reasons, without some sort of snarky dig at their absence. It happens to me once, after a trying couple of weeks in my personal life, and that's the shit I have to face as I get back into the game?

I was genuinely touched that, during my absence, I received multiple pm's/shout outs in threads wishing me well. I made a thread thanking people, and received more well wishes. Then, on the other sign of the coin, "do you think you could show up for work more regularly?" For fucking real?!? What a bunch of snarky, passive aggressive bullshit.

You two don't see it my way....that's fine. I honestly don't care if I'm the only one that sees what I see. You don't have to agree, and I'm not going to expend more energy explaining myself.

I do feel you have jumped the gun a little with your reaction but if you feel that strongly about it, then you've done the right thing. I'd have probably sent ian a pm simply saying, "dude, wtf was that post all about. I am pretty offended about it."

But that's just me. Hope you are getting everything sorted.

It was in character Mike...if you dont want to play they dont play mate, but it was done in character. The character of Kadeon Apollo is a controversial and confrontational individual everything from block parties to hanging out with Jimmy Street.

Throwing this out as an idea...would anyone be interested in a premature end to the season? I figured we are at halfway point as of next week, but we got so many vacant teams.

I will wait for a vote from:

Metro, Digger, Jon, Jag, Flins, Teej, Tauraus, Pancho, Gates, Strike, Powers, Bone, Jen, Steven, Talon, Justin, JReb & Rob

18 votes.

My feeling is we could have a 16 week season aka four more games. I realize this means that we would not have "repeat matchups", but I am thinking of causing a sort of in game storyline with these disbanding teams causing a problem with a shortened FBL season. To save the season Commisioner Trumps calls an end to regular season play after week 16.

Means we can make sure we got full GMs etc. for next season and everything is above board. However, I want to leave it up to you guys. So 18 votes simply put.

YES - TO END THE SEASON PREMATURELY
NO - TO CARRY ON

I will say no of the current GMs will feel the wrath of not meeting expectations based on a shortned season from those firery owners.

SOMETHING BAD ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO COMMISSIONER TRUMPS


BREAKING NEWS:

COMMISSIONER TRUMPS INVOLVED IN A SAXOPHONE SCANDAL, CALLS FOR EARLY END TO THE SEASON

News out of the league office is that Commissioner Trumps, embarrassed by the pressure of the worldwide expansion of basketball, has to now face another scandal when it was revealed that a reporter broke into his mansion and secretly filmed him having sex with his wife, another consenting adult, and a saxophone. The release of this totally consensual sex tape has rocketed the FBL world. Angry Mothers have reformed MAT (Mothers Against Trumps) to protect their aspiring young basketball players from wanting a life inside the FBL. One mother was quoted as saying "This Trumps sex tape is vile! It forced me to have to talk about sex with my 12 year old son! What parent wants to be responsible for that?! It's inhumane!"

In response to the gross invasion of privacy Commissioner Trumps was heard angrily in the league office firing everyone in sight and telling people to "shut this thing down!". Naturally the league assumed he meant to end this season prematurely in a manner that his saxophone ended his 4-way prematurely, and now the season is set to end just after the all-star break. More on this as the story develops.

I voted yes because it is going to take another two months just to finish the rest of the season, despite all the team vacancies.  The season is dragging.  Though, the playoffs still need to be an option or I will switch my vote.

Justin, our match up this week is the one I'm REALLY looking forward to. 

Measuring stick type of game for my team to see where we really are, I think we benefited from Reb being low on time when we beat them, so this one is the game to show me if we're legit or just on a hot streak.

Good luck, but if you need to rest George Michael this week... I'm not gonna complain.

One way to explain my side of voting no.

The game takes a while, yes... but its the same people playing once you restart next season.  It's going to drag at times, that's how it works with this many folks playing.

If you only play the game for the off-season/free agency and don't enjoy trying to manage your team from Week 1 - the playoffs, then I get why you'd vote to rush to the end of the year, but it basically makes all the work you have (or plan) on doing this year to build your team or create relationships and chemistry before your young players are in the last year of their deal a big waste of time.


That's my take on it, at least.

Selfishly, I should say yes for the reason Rob stated, but the more games we play, the better chance at winning a playoff spot I have and you just never know if this year is your year.

Im voting NO simply for the latter reason tho, if the season were to end at say, week 21, everyone has played each other 3 times. You lock in for weeks 15/16, 17/18, and 19/20/21 it's a happy medium between shortening the season drastically and dragging to the end of the season

Plus with three first round picks and two of them projecting high with a stacked team, the more time to figure out my plan of action going forward.

You guys realize how many season would have NOT been completed IF WE skipped ahead every time the league was low on GMs?

How many news stories never happen, how many moments don't exist.

How many championships are considered tainted because people only played half the game.

How about those teams that came back and won big winning streaks to end a year and then ride it to the finals.


Anyways. I'm amazed everyone is so quick to fold and say scew it.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Flins. on July 25, 2015, 04:49:52 PM
I would agree, if we were skipping as of right now. But we're talking about four games. Now unless any of the GM's were to implode closing in on the end of the season, there is little difference they could make to the teams morale/performance. Whenever we usually get to that period in the season, we're short on active GM's due to firings and so forth, and the guys still in charge are either prepping for the next season/or going through the motions and waiting until the play offs. Don't see it as folding, more just speeding up that process with the leagues current circumstances.

I voted yes two fold.

1. Self preservation. The less chances i have to screw up the better for me. A shortened season is preferable otherwise i might end up pulling a Justin and crushing Ollies little girl dreams.

2. Its not as fun when you DONT have the other GMs to play off of. My division has been much more impacted by it.

3. Dont you even think of saying my title is tainted. Dont you talk about the precious that way!!

At least Pancho is being honest about his reasons, but if we do it now are we going to cop out every time GMs fuck up and get fired?

It's a terrible president to set IMO, but hey if it happens it happens, but I am FAR less motivated to play in that scenario. Punish the GMs who want to play from start to finish to accommodate those who couldn't last and those who want to get to the "fun" part.

Alas, I'm done with it. Vote cast, point made. If  I am in the minority so be it.

My guess is this would be a one time thing.  We haven't done it before and I highly doubt it happens again.  As Pancho said, its not as fun without all the GMs and now tthat there are less teams it will make them work harder to keep their job in the futureand I am probably in the minority because the season is the funnest part for me not the offseason so for me I didn't make the decision lightlybut with the rate of some of the general managers activity it's going to take another 2 to 3 months to finish

My yes is cause this is an absolutely mammoth season by comparison to many others (other than the 24 game ones?) Four more games will leave this year as the same number as last year.

(also w/boner in that my division has few GMs)

Reading the responses here, some very good points on all camps and like it's been offered already in earlier posts, if we do come to a vote of yes...

Instead of ending the season in Week 16 or so, why not add in more weeks during the upcoming lock-ins so that all games are played out the way they should. Not to mention, an expansion on the playoffs side - divisionals as a best of 3, conference semis and finals at best of 5 and FBL Finals as a best of 7.

At least Pancho is being honest about his reasons, but if we do it now are we going to cop out every time GMs fuck up and get fired?

It's a terrible president to set IMO, but hey if it happens it happens, but I am FAR less motivated to play in that scenario. Punish the GMs who want to play from start to finish to accommodate those who couldn't last and those who want to get to the "fun" part.

Alas, I'm done with it. Vote cast, point made. If  I am in the minority so be it.

I'd rather have more GMs to play against. Yes they are being punished by sitting out, but most have been sitting out since week 4 anyway. Week to week I don't need to do any sort of management for my team because I am facing autolocked teams 5 times out of 7.

Instead of ending the season in Week 16 or so, why not add in more weeks during the upcoming lock-ins so that all games are played out the way they should.

Irrelevant but this would have got my vote.

To be honest I don't care either way. This season has dragged  a ton  so ending it early might work. Would suck if we end it early and I don't meet my win condition though. That would be kinda bs.

I guess if I have to throw an official vote it would be yes though I don't care either way. I'd just hope that are conditions wouldn't be as rigid considering we don't have the 24 games to reach them.

Throwing this out as an idea...would anyone be interested in a premature end to the season? I figured we are at halfway point as of next week, but we got so many vacant teams.

I will wait for a vote from:

Metro, Digger, Jon, Jag, Flins, Teej, Tauraus, Pancho, Gates, Strike, Powers, Bone, Jen, Steven, Talon, Justin, JReb & Rob

18 votes.

My feeling is we could have a 16 week season aka four more games. I realize this means that we would not have "repeat matchups", but I am thinking of causing a sort of in game storyline with these disbanding teams causing a problem with a shortened FBL season. To save the season Commisioner Trumps calls an end to regular season play after week 16.

Means we can make sure we got full GMs etc. for next season and everything is above board. However, I want to leave it up to you guys. So 18 votes simply put.

YES - TO END THE SEASON PREMATURELY
NO - TO CARRY ON

I will say no of the current GMs will feel the wrath of not meeting expectations based on a shortned season from those firery owners.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Ian "Wolfie" Trumps on July 26, 2015, 11:39:31 AM
Right seeing as Gates is no voting and people are changing their minds I am just going to call it...

4 more games (including this 2 weeks) before we go to playoffs. I thought it would be a lot simplier than this but people throwing in other options and debating back and forth is just getting messy.

I will say no current GMs will get fired, another bonus is that you are still in a position to deal with FAs up until the season finishes which the "season 18" GMs are not.

Guys I was hoping we could be decisive, but it seems this is causing too much debate, and all that jazz.

Really proud though you guys are so passionate about this game I hope to reward that remainder of this season and next, I dont get paid for this, so its your enthusiasm which drives me forward to mod this rather complex game which my wife hates me modding lol.

Yeah can we get someone who we can rely on to actually play. Honestly it seems every time we get a new guy they tend to not play. The more active someone we get, the better it is for everyone involved.

I mean can we sell Doug that Reno is the Cleveland of the FBL?

Read Wyoming's last few seasons under GM Jon

Read Kentucky's threads under GM Hondo

Read Virginia and/or Vegas during the GM Dorling era

Read Puerto Rico under GM Justin (just dont do like he does from time to time and make agents/players/coaches angry)

and finally... Read GM Pancho in Pittsburgh.

For what not to do, read Nashville under GM Krazy.

A few things:

- Always do due diligence in scouting players from SL, they may be pig fuckers.
- Always speak to your coach after the press conference
- When in doubt, ask us for help and take our advice aka GM Krazy Rule
- If he comes back, never trade with GM Hondo in your first season or two
- Always have progression with your posts, dont have a "wait and see" approach. After your done speaking to your coach/player always end the post with your next move.
- When in doubt, LOCK IN.
- If everyone else is locked in, don't wait an extra day to check with the captain on "how's the team doing?". LOCK IN.
- Be cautious when dealing with agent Nigel Falls, he's a cunt.
- If a college prospect has a name like "Dick Felcher" he's probably not worth your time.
- Book mark the FBL Spreadsheet, found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tD7cJcR2zIzCs2yagbtyEeA/htmlview# . It'll be an amazing help to grasp the history of the league as well as player information.

Hindo or Jenn gave me advice I liked one time.

If it's risky, you don't have to do it. Trade offers come and go, you don't ever need to feel rushed to make a decision.

If they have to explain to you why it's an amazing deal, don't take it. Everyone looks out for their best interests not yours.

If your not sure, ask. The deadlines in this game are really long so never feel like you have to do anything right that second. Sleep on decisions and whatnot.

Have fun. This is a game not life. You mess up, don't complain just see how you can weather the storm and survive.

Powers breaks a hip
Reya wanders off looking for a better boat to appear and never returns
TyTy offers more money than he has, and pisses off the mythical figure selling the boat
Franchise and BD fight over it, Franchise getting the upper hand  for a bit before BD show him why the ladies call him Blackout.

The mythical figures says fuck it and takes the boat and leaves them all on the island, never to see them again, content knowing he won't be the one that is responsible to return to society.

Teej does. He overpays for it. Trades it off for a younger boat. That boat is great but finds him unfit as an owner.  The boat leaves him stranded instead.

We were saying the same things about Rob's trade of Dane and look how that turned out.

This trade with McKnight is leagues about that terrible trade.

Remember it was Dane majoe and Keaton and a second rounder for jr valentine Justin crane and Kennedy Frazier.

Hey Active GMs

This should give you an idea of current roster spots which need filling up in the SL, Euro Ball and AAA.

Most these teams are very UNLIKELY to want to trade players and will be looking for cheap deals or freebies to pad out their rosters.

Cheers

Knockout Round Playoff Predictions

Seattle Toppers @ Wyoming Wolves
- Won two out of three in the regular season. Momentum heading into the playoffs. Better coaching staff that knows how to win in the postseason.

Roswell Aliens @ Honolulu Volcanoes
- Even though heaidng into the playoffs on a slump. The Volcanoes match-up well against the Aliens. Swept them in the season series. Should take care of business at home.

Champaign Naturals @ Providence Diamonds
- My upset pick. Champaign behind flashy rookie Kurtz shocks the Diamonds and sends Mason Griffin to his last exit in a FBL game.

Puerto Rico Waves @ Tampa Bay Dragons
- Tampa begins their repeat attempt with a tough game, but one they match-up well against. They beat the Waves both times they faced them (I think?), including just this past week. Should advance to face the Venom.

Roswell Aliens @ Hollywood Stars
- Stars being a man down and now recently the news of Tuffy leaving, see's the Aliens emerge in surprising fashion.

Providence Diamonds @ Pittsburgh Blades
- Despite having to sit a player, the Blades will rally around MVP Barnes and MVP-Runner Up Dreams and take down the Diamonds in Mason Griffin's last series.

Tampa Bay Dragons @ Nashville Venom
- Nashville is the team that will end the reign of the Dragons.

Quote from: Gravedigger on August 11, 2015, 11:29:15 PMWe're 0-2 against Boise this year, so it's an uphill battle, but that doesn't mean we can't get it done. If our guys play like they did against Wyoming we should advance.

Hey Digger, can you not count to 3? If not, here's a video to help.

DIVISIONAL ROUND PREDICTIONS

Seattle Toppers @ Boise Spuds
- The Spuds win the series in a close game 3 in the Potato Patch

Roswell Aliens @ Hollywood Stars
- The Truth is out there, Jen blew up her team by not being the Iron-Lady that players feared.  Now Roswell is headed to the conference finals thanks to a 2 game sweep.

Providence Diamonds @ Pittsburgh Blades
- It goes to 3 games and that's when Barnes goes off... and gets injured heading into the conference finals.

Tampa Bay Dragons @ Nashville Venom
- It goes 3 Games, and the Home team gets the "upset" over the tired and short handed Dragons, Chris Cross goes HAM and drops 22 from the bench in the finale.

I will accept that.




Justin, I get the feeling you did that entire "piss off Hardaway" on purpose so you could trade your captain without consequence.

Tbh it wasn't confusion. Both me and tim dealt with the same person for the same player. Rather than see one of us screwed over we worked a deal to help us both

I'll be the Devil's advocate...

Weaker draft, only a 1 year rental for Ty in case it all doesn't go the right way, he's got his PG of the future in Hans which combined with Abdul, Dieter and Boris (depending on if he signs) could help him make a bit of noise in the South East.

I have some good young prospects if you ask me... Cribbs, Abdul and Hans are all good, young and full of potential. I guess Williams and Malone are older but as said, I need something from top to bottom that could possibly compete.

It's bad enough that there are the ultimate cop outs in the super league, adding the cap doesn't change anything but delay it by a year.

And I'm saying with having to give Cordela money and Jayden going into a contract year.

Also, it's a nifty part of the challenge itself...to win championships with a cap in mind, player demands, etc, etc.

And Josh, this is why I think a key part going forward for anyone getting offers to go to a different team...specify what you DON'T want your owner to do until you take over - like, for the love of God, don't trade one of my ace pieces for two middle of the pack picks and one bench depth guy. Has anyone tried that?

I still wouldn't be surprised if you CANT scout with S19 money because your coaches are all on vacation.


Last year it was introduced (regional scouting) so we could fill our rosters out because we didnt have enough players in the pool.  This year we have several folding teams with more free agents about to become available...


but hey, I could be totally wrong.

Offseason commences until you lock back out...

- Coaches and players are on vacation
- Other leagues arent full yet so they will proceed pre college draft
- This is to fill up the other leagues and get some house in order before the draft this wont be a final offseaon lock in
- Again I wont be following what trades for people to move up and down the draft are relevant

You also have had ample time to pitch these players as have Teej before they became public knowledge. In fact you could have REGIONALLY SCOUTED players all season. The players who have been regionally scouted have always become availble for general signing after a season has ended.

Also note there is 65 rookies coming into this draft. And the max that the top players can be offered is 10 million...so just to teach a bit of basic economics...

rookies are cheap and have cheap 2 year deals...

the AAA, SL and Euro Ball should really be looked as dumping grounds for players you dont want.

I think the game has enough of a revolve around it for someone with basic maths and budgeting understanding to work it.

You just need to know when to cut the losses.

Best example I can give is people holding out for major SL, Euro Ball or AAA deals. If a guy costs you x amount and produces x amount of stats you need to weigh up that value vs taking a rookie for 2 years (or temp staff so to speak) who can contribute similar and a fraction of the cost.

Some seem to be getting this and others arent.

You're also giving up three guys that can help you be competitive (even if they aren't stars) for a guy who may score in droves but probably doesn't want to play in Birmingham. Build slowly, draft well, and meet your owners demands. It may take a season but it sure beats a quick fix blowing up every year.

I didn't respond to you, Jon...

As for my thread, if you look at the Free Agent sheet, Taylor Devon is listed as a rookie, which is why I questioned his experience. Sorry I don't keep up with who is on the bench for Vegas each season.... There's six guys that were listed as rookies, so I don't think the "You should know better because they're not in the draft" thing applies....

As for the low ball thing, first response I got was "He will probably sign for a foreign league". No mention of taking an offense to the offer. Second time, it was accepted. Third one, with no offense given to either one, I get the message about it's not going to work.... right after it had worked on the negotiation before that.... How would I know it wasn't going to work on that one? The only other guy I supposedly lowballed was KC Glenn, but what has he done to be worth 8 million a season?

Right, just got back from the camping trip and it seems I have a shit load to catch up on. Two things I have read in the OOC that I am confused with; are the guys we regionally scouted in the draft? If so, what exactly is the benefit of them? I had two batches of them, one had grades the other didn't, other than that it was just names and details. Were we supposed to sign them last season? If that is the case, this sort of thing needs to be made clearer.

Second one, what is with the locking in again before the draft? What exactly is this period for? Just free agency/SL trading?
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Gates on August 21, 2015, 04:18:06 PM
Some of the guys people regionally scouted ended up being in the FA pool at the start of the off season. I don't think that holds for everyone though (check the free agent pdf in the free agent thread).

As for the second, I believe it's just a chance for the SL/Euro/AAA to get full...basically seems like a lock in to say you're done off loading to the SL and whatnot. Make sure everyones ready for the draft. Thats what it seems like anyways.
Title: Re: OOC HAVE A CHAT
Post by: Flins. on August 21, 2015, 04:27:45 PM
Right, got it. Just read through a few threads, starting to get an idea what the dealio is. The two guys I had wanted to sign from my regional scouting were quickly picked up though, not surprising I guess with the new system in place for it. I think it is a good change, but I do think these sort of changes need to be highlighted earlier. Still, onwards and upwards, time to get butt-raped over Malone.

Anyone you regionally scouted last season ended up in the pool of free agents once this off-season began. The advantage anyone who scouted regionally HAD was that they could have signed these players before the off-season (and probably got better scout information but I'm not sure.)

And yeah, pretty much.

Was this explained or mentioned by Ian at any point? I saw a post from him saying we had ample to sign but nothing saying it was possible, given it was something that was never possible previously.

Post by: The TeeJ of Philly on August 21, 2015, 05:50:34 PM
To answer your question Flins, no. Apparently regional scouting players (which was a mechianic added last offseason) have always gone into free agency

You can not scout them further once you spend the 2 mil to regional scouting because they have no team or league attached to them (despite them being non-rookies), and much of the scouting I've seen is the name, position, age, experience, height, weight and agent.

The only advantage you have is being able to sign them for the (next) season, which is great when you know what you're doing well in advance.

So it seems the regional scouting is best used post draft but before lock in when you're scrambling to fill a roster for cheap

So.

I'm throwing this out there, I understand that it might not be popular or even have a use but I want to throw an idea out there. Since we now keep track of our own picks, perhaps looking into having a couple seasons into the future of draft picks to keep track of would be possible. Like, have people build their teams longer term and whatnot.

As someone who trades draft picks religiously I am vehemently against this. People changes teams so often that you would cripple the future GM's chances if you ever got fired.

It's bad enough I'm stuck with the horrible contracts of the coaching staff. I'm paying $24mm in PR for my coaching staff and have non say in it. So if a guy wanted to ruin his team's future just sign his coach to a 10 year $20mm deal and bolt.

I think there might be something in place for that, in terms of GM reputation and what not. If you relate it to success as a GM, the guys sticking with the one team for extended periods and not shift around as much are statistically more successful. There are a few exceptions, but they are usually with the GM's that aren't getting fired.

That the team who GM leaves doesn't get trapped.

Basically there's players that can't leave.

But it's a dumb idea. Everytime it happens, the GM tends to get back to where they left. Look at Baton Rouge a year later

Hi Guys

First off, sorry for being a bit hit and miss this week. As per usual work has decided to kick this blondie's backside for most the week. Anyways, I have just done a bit of updating for Season 20 based on scouting. I am trying to make (as the game evolves) your decision making process not just about players, but also staff and putting even more emphasis on budget balancing. The max salary for rookies for the last few seasons has seen an increase in PR demand for those agents to get their rookies exposure and extra cash.

Now for Season 20 (as all Season 19 scouting was concluded sometime back) your coaches abilities play even more into how your team operates not just on the court, but the information you can get from the Assistants and Youth coaches as well. Make sure to check it out. Once more will put value into those GMs who rightly know how to balance the books for the type of team they want representing them on the court.

Keep enjoying yourselves
Ian

I mean if I put it in FM terms which Ian has always said is the closest possible thing,

I signed a player that mainly plays central midfield but can adequately play any position on the pitch. Take that flexibility away and it becomes trickier to fill a decent team

Obviously calling up every FA and lowballing wasn't/isn't working. Unfortunately, even those remaining unlocked teams aren't really in a position to help. If I were you, I'm throwing a hail mary at a super league team, knowing you're probably going to have to trade Tre Majoe - they're only going to talk if there is a superstar involved.

I got shut down for lowballing by one agent.... The first one said his client wasn't signing in FBL, and another just said "no", nothing about the offer being too low (and KC Glenn most likely doesn't deserve the 8 million he got anyway)... As for the Luszo thing, I was never turned down for lowballing, but for offering two one year deals which can't be done. If Ian wants to say all those offers were lowballing then he can fucking say it, but until then I'm god damn sick and fucking tired of hearing it so shut the fuck up about it....

You low-balled all offseason. If you didn't lowball Luszo... he'd be signed by now... but you KEEP trying and trying when he already stated EXACTLY what he wants.

As of Season 20 there will be some further changes in relation to how PR works for players. For PR that needs to fall into new guidelines please assume that agents will negoiate for NEW DEALS for their players for Season 20 and beyond.

I did consider it. I read Ian's post as everyone wanted to be traded, because he mentioned a mass email to the team, not the players I requested it go to. If it was only the RG guys I would have done things very differently. Guess I should have waited for clarification....

Thanks Coach. That type of insight will get you a new contract. I want to keep you around, but if all you are doing to do is be a smart alec, this could very well be your last year.

HOW can we get them to look over the ball better?

If that is all it takes to lose a coach is to remind them they are in their last year and to be respectful, then I won't last long.

Pretty ridiculous actually.

BREAKING NEWS: The FBL Rocked with a Collusion Scandal!

Fellow journalist The Informant interviewed both GM Jen and GM Pancho today and made a shocking discovery, discovering that GM Jen and GM Pancho are colluding to suck. As we know in the FBL bylaws section 28.2 B collusion between all GMs is forbidden. How will with the FBL handle this shocking relevation? And will the FBL punish these organizations? For more we turn to The Informant to answer this question.

Good evening Mr. Kairns.

You are obviously in the middle of all this. Will the FBL take any action to punish these organizations for colluding?

(http://www.marksforxcellence.com/FBL/players/columntheinformer.jpg)

(http://www.marksforxcellence.com/FBL/icklenews.png)

Well Greg.....no. No they won't. Pittsburgh can't win a title...so that's punishment enough. And frankly....the entire league is scared of GM Jen....remember the last person to cross her "died"....so the league will not take any action against her....

Ever.

BREAKING NEWS: Juan and Done

A huge controversy has sparked in Champaign as GM Strike allegedly demands Argentinian 11th man to play on his broken ankle. An anonymous and unreliable source in the Naturals organization said that GM Strike "probably went on a racist tirade about lazy Argentinian's or something man" before forcing security to carry a limping Fabian to the court. Fabian went on to play for about 5 minutes before shattering his ankle and ending his career. Fabian had this to say after the game.

"I thought GM Strike was a good guy, but his white supremacist rant to send me on the court when injured...now I will never be able to teach my sons basketball...all because of one racist pig in power."

Argentinian fans are outraged and calling for his immediate dismissal from the organization. However this is unlikely because the FBL does not cater to the demands of foreigners. More as this story develops.

Gooch has sent me a few pms over the last few weeks not liking how the game is played or the ridiculous storyline elements employed sometimes for a bit of fun. Anyway, I don't want to dwell too much on it, appreciate its not his type of game, so hence the firing. Just to note, please don't sign up for games if you already know the context of how its run, nor take things personally. It's just a bit of whacky flavour...thanks for playing Gooch, please don't think to sign up again in future mate. Not a shot at you, but it just wastes my time bud.

No prob, bud. I gave it another shot and it's not for me. Everyone else has fun. I'm in the minority here. That's cool. Nothing personal. Just not for me. For it to go as long as it has shows that people dig it. That rocks. I'm a different dude. I'm sorry I wasted your time.

Lads due to a lack of time, passion, drive, time more than anything else I am going to have to hault my involvement with the FBL game as its moderator. I really firstly want to apologize for that, but I am having to put my own priorities first and its just become too hard to justify the time in this. When it becomes a chore...then its a chore.

I would love to think the likes of Jon, Strike, Pancho etc. guys who really went that extra mile outside the game will be able to form something off the back of this. In fact they will probably do a better job than me!

Anyway, bit of a shit message to leave, but hey, I'd rather be up front with you all than do a disappearing act. I really appreciate you all that played the game it was great to see a concept of mine got so much love.

All the best to you all and thanks again for playing.

I think I didn't word what I meant very well.  What I mean is, would you be able to just sim the rest of the season/post season, forgetting about any involvement from us? No need to even put it in a fancy pdf or anything.  Just run the sim, come on here and say "Pittsburgh beat Boise in the finals", or whatever the result may be.

I totally understand if you can't/don't want to.  Just figured I'd ask.

I was always under the impression that Ian created his own sim. I'll take a peak at the Greydog site and see what it's like. But I doubt I'll be able to continue FBL even with help.

I think I didn't word what I meant very well.  What I mean is, would you be able to just sim the rest of the season/post season, forgetting about any involvement from us? No need to even put it in a fancy pdf or anything.  Just run the sim, come on here and say "Pittsburgh beat Boise in the finals", or whatever the result may be.

I totally understand if you can't/don't want to.  Just figured I'd ask.

Ok, semis saw Boise beat Vegas and Wolves beat Stallions. Boise beat Wolves in west finals
Puerto Rico beat Kentucky and Baton Rouge beat Tampa Bay. Puerto Rico beat Baton Rouge in east finals

Boise swept Waves in Simmed finals

Well, I have been working on the sim and was going to fast forward a few years, say there was a lock out of sorts after this current season ended... so it wouldn't be a straight continuation.  All past stuff would be canon but there would be some wrinkles added, with us starting in the off-season to retain your talent after the lock out, most players would want to stay where they were but would need new deals to fix the market etc.

Alright read through all of the Leagues Rules and I have a few questions:

1) Contract Negotiations.....whats the Private Messaging about? Isn't the negotiations done in the team thread? Or is this for the free agency contract offers?

2) Free Agency. Will it run similar to what Ian had with players issuing their prefered destinations + bidding period for all teams? (Kinda my 1st question)

3)
QuoteTampering includes:

- Talking to a players agent about a player who is under contract for that season referencing contract figures

Could you elaborate on this? Maybe give an example or something....I think i'm just missing it on this one. Like even bringing up contract figures AT ALL with an agent during the season will be tampering? Or is this talking to an agent about a player that isn't on your team?

4) Is there going to be Euro League/International Scouting?

1) Contract Negotiations.....whats the Private Messaging about? Isn't the negotiations done in the team thread? Or is this for the free agency contract offers?

This is in relation to free agent contract offers.  In an effort to prevent people from trying to "1-up" other GM's you will not have to offer contract figures and terms in-thread during the free agency signing period.


2) Free Agency. Will it run similar to what Ian had with players issuing their prefered destinations + bidding period for all teams? (Kinda my 1st question)

It will be similar to the the original way, players will give out some indication of where they would like to go, BUT their will be a period of time before normal Free Agency that allows teams to negotiate with their players who are about now free agents, so that they get the first chance to re-sign them (if the player is interested in staying)


3) Could you elaborate on this? Maybe give an example or something....I think i'm just missing it on this one. Like even bringing up contract figures AT ALL with an agent during the season will be tampering? Or is this talking to an agent about a player that isn't on your team?

There will be no "early free agency" like in years past, we wont have the mad dash to sign guys who are still under contract with another team.  Any contract offers made to agents about players currently under contract with ANOTHER team is illegal.


4) Is there going to be Euro League/International Scouting?

This is to be determined later.

1) Contract Negotiations.....whats the Private Messaging about? Isn't the negotiations done in the team thread? Or is this for the free agency contract offers?

This is in relation to free agent contract offers.  In an effort to prevent people from trying to "1-up" other GM's you will not have to offer contract figures and terms in-thread during the free agency signing period.


2) Free Agency. Will it run similar to what Ian had with players issuing their prefered destinations + bidding period for all teams? (Kinda my 1st question)

It will be similar to the the original way, players will give out some indication of where they would like to go, BUT their will be a period of time before normal Free Agency that allows teams to negotiate with their players who are about now free agents, so that they get the first chance to re-sign them (if the player is interested in staying)


3) Could you elaborate on this? Maybe give an example or something....I think i'm just missing it on this one. Like even bringing up contract figures AT ALL with an agent during the season will be tampering? Or is this talking to an agent about a player that isn't on your team?

There will be no "early free agency" like in years past, we wont have the mad dash to sign guys who are still under contract with another team.  Any contract offers made to agents about players currently under contract with ANOTHER team is illegal.


4) Is there going to be Euro League/International Scouting?

This is to be determined later.

Alright sweet.

And I'm a tad unclear if we assume our old history as GM's or not....kinda went off what other people had posted.

Any chance we could reduce the roster slots from 12 to 8? It made the game more fun when each player had a specific personality rather than just end of the bench dude.
Title: Re: OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

The game doesnt allow for that, Ian must have done some secret voodoo and just erased bench dudes from the team sheets/box scores.

I'd have loved to do 8 man rosters, but unless you guys want me to have way more impact on winners/losers than the sim, not much we can do about it.

I believe the thing is that you need the 12 players but you can just play 8 of them when setting up depth charts and whatnot...problem is, you still need the minimum of folks on the team and creating random bench players for the sake of creating them to only slot them as "Do Not Play/0 Minutes" guys is far more trouble than it's worth IMO.

honest bro , if it to hard , just go with the 12 man roster.  just like real life there are going to be players that are not going to be use much , plus it would be great way to say grab a young player and have him sit for year or two get some seasoning without having to break him be starting him to early in his career.

I Agree, I'd like 8 man rosters, but 12 adds a different dynamic, and if its easier, roll with it.

I'm assuming that you're having to create rosters from scratch.

I've removed the free agent list, as I might reduce the number of "familiar" names. It just depends on how long it takes for me in the set up phase.

Two things.

First, whenever you use Mr. T as a poser, and you throw the "mhm" in his dialogue, you get a legit LOL from me. I read it, laughed, started coughing, and the wife looked at me like I was a retard. Good times.

Second, you don't put mayo on a cheesesteak. What kind of heretic barbarian are you!?!

PLEASE NOTE:

Currently the plan will be for the "original FBL set up" to be run.  8 man roster, 2 coaches (HC and AC)

A 3rd/player coach type option is likely to be made available, but it will not be a required spot to have filled.

Please re-check the league rules/format info as it has been updated to reflect the roster sizes that I am talking about, including changes to the salary and PR caps.

Again, this will be "finalized" when I have things decided upon, but it is better to plan small and expand than to go big and then decide later to contract.

You may start interviewing and hiring coaches while you wait for me to do player info.

The Feds could chase them around all season and he could always just barely get away after a game.

With the 8 Man roster, their will be a 6 round Free agency draft.

After that the rookie draft will go down to fill out the final spots on your team.

If you dont fill out your team in that time, you can sign remaining free agents to fill out the squad.

While these reports have some character flavor on them and are more team specific, they are for the most part fair and balanced in that they aren't rated based on your coaches scouting grades. 

This is giving everyone a fair shot to start their team.


So even terrible coaches are going to give you a good outlook, just some more detailed than others.

I'll post a start time for the draft once I'm ready for it.  After doing the reports I have to fine tune a few things in the game to make sure everything is where it needs to be, but it won't be long after.

THE DRAFT WILL BEGIN FRIDAY AT 8PM EASTERN TIME NOW!

For this draft, I will not be as brutal early on with demanding those proxy lists, but you've all scouted 15 guys, so if you would put together a list of who you would want, if you are unable to draft in the amount of time allowed for each round, then it would help us not stall for days at a time.

I'll have a proxy list ready as I start work 5am my time. Not sure how that'll work with your time zone.

Great work with the scouting reports. Detailed and humorous in places. I really like that this extension of FBL is similar but you've made it your game Talon.

You can draft leadership in rounds 3-4. You can draft your franchise cornerstone for the next 4-5 seasons with pick #1.

Within free agency? Debatable, especially with an amateur draft still to come.

But it could also be that he was the best report out of Josh's bunch for a first overall, too.

Why? I needed a starting SF and this was the best opportunity to get one if not the only. He's a good player, despite being no Mission, he's a solid top 10 pick. And the likelihood of a good SF making it to late in the first round was very slim. I've worked well within my budget. I traded up knowing there'd be at least a few good SF in the class.

And besides, I traded up after the class came out.

Folks, please brush up on the rules thread one more time when you have time.  There have been some tweaks made to the rules, especially with the lock in process.

Anything in YELLOW is optional as an "ADVANCED SETTING" meaning you can choose a simpler version of this relying more on your coaches, or you can do it yourself to add more of a personal touch to the team. 

Also the trade deadline has been changed to a Trade Window, meaning once you lock in for week 1 you may not trade until the one week window when you are allowed to potentially make two trades (which allows the ability to do a 3-team trade).

Also the draft rules have been changed slightly to reflect a more "fair" rule for when you run out of time on the draft clock, similar to the NFL's rules, when your time runs out you are skipped, but may make your pick at anytime after, but other teams can continue to draft normally, potentially stealing the player you intend to draft before you pick them.

I know nothing about basketball tactics, so would avoiding advanced tactics put me at a disadvantage?

Conversely, would using advanced tactics mean that players with an understanding of how basketball works be able to mitigate having awful coaches?

If either of these is the case, it would put me and others like me at a disadvantage in the game I think.

No, coaches all have sound strategies for the most part, even if they suck at their jobs they know how basketball works, so having them run things for you will not harm you, it may actually help you not put in place a strategy that doesn't fit your team.

As for Using the advanced settings, it is really just a more detailed way of asking your coaches to do something.  You might play with some things to get a young guy more minutes late in the season (instead of asking your coach to do it and hoping he does it how you'd like).

All in all it won't be a mega difference in how the game plays, so using/not using wont tilt the scales unfairly.  Allowing your coaches to do things is the best bet to go with if you aren't familiar with basketball.
Title: Re: OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD
Post by: Cory on May 28, 2016, 12:29:08 PM
I already asked him this in a PM earlier in the week.

Q: For the gameplay you had the option for Coaches Decision or the option to chose all your own stuff. For someone who its fairly green when it comes to basketball, is auto-piloting it to Coaches Decision a disadvantage v/s those who understand the game more or if you have a coach with a good rating his gameplan will be good and a shit coach it'd be shit?

A: No penalty for a letting the coaches decide, each coach has their own style, none are right or wrong, it really just comes to putting together a team that fits what the coaches system is.
Title: Re: OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD
Post by: Talon on May 28, 2016, 12:30:23 PM
Your coaches main skills/grades are based on how they work with/develop certain positions, what type of basketball they coach best, and also the morale/motivating factors.

Pittsburgh Blades terminate the contract of AC Mark Brown, paying him 50% of his current salary (2MM) for rest of his S20 contract, retaining 2MM in PR in the process.

Pittsburgh Blades promote Bench Coach Bralin Hurtz to Assistant Coach.

Oh totally, plus the biggest hit against the Blades IMO was their coaching staff, the less the better and you're certainly looking stronger with that move.

I spent a few posts this morning talking to a player. Didn't work how I wanted it to, but Talon made it interesting do I kept going. I didn't exactly destroy FBL by having the conversation...

Also, Talon could have shut it down any time. I just went with it.

QuotePR is judged differently based on the player. Some players want advertising, some want game-day promotion, some want to use it to help charities, some just want some sweet kicks. The player's agent will be able to also give you an idea on what they're specifically looking for with the PR usage if they do ask for it in contracts.

Will say this was in the About FBL section.

and no one is saying what you did was a big deal, it's why you did it. Everyone else is locking in and you're kinda jumping into the week 1 dealings of checking in with players.

I assumed it was a joke that had to do with chemistry.

You have cis and trans isomers. Cis is a alkene on the same side, while a trans alkene are on opposite sides. 

So that makes sense considering transgender (opposite gender) and cisgender (same gender).

BTW, I hate school.  >:(

my thought is your best move would been wait and see ... You know Talon likes to be more  of a realism in how he does these leagues , so may not be as bad as you thought .  Also he rewards creative solutions , You may have been able to work a solution.  You set yourself into a big hole from jump now.  You could trying least a year and see if you could work through it.

If this FBL is anything like Ian's then there was a fix and Tuffy was worth trying to fix.

ok... lol  realism is the wrong word. 

still don't think it would have been as bad as he thinks it was going to be

I think it was. BELIEVE ME, if it wasn't I'd be shocked.

Quote from: Black Death on June 06, 2016, 05:04:14 PM
my thought is your best move would been wait and see ... You know Talon likes to be more  of a realism in how he does these leagues , so may not be as bad as you thought .  Also he rewards creative solutions , You may have been able to work a solution.  You set yourself into a big hole from jump now.  You could trying least a year and see if you could work through it.

but hey got to do what you got to do

My creative solution was to get him to join the Avengers but with thinking the team threads were gonna be locked up by now I did what I did.

Well, tomorrow is last day home before 18 days in Japan, so I'll be very scarce from now until the 26th.

I'll do what I can from my hotel in the evenings, as well as trying to do some stuff from the air during my 14 hr flight from Chicago to Tokyo, but if I have folks looking at my laptop and seeing me type news and shit about fantasy basketball shit I'll definitely lose some of my "bad ass who kills folks in the jungle" cred, so I'm going to be in stealth mode.

I will write a news story and release your team sheet at the same time, so this will come in whatever order I feel like doing the news, so please understand if yours takes while.

Hope you guys like the news and the team sheets, worked on them for a while to find what I liked best.

News-wise, a lot of you will have pretty short and non-game changing news for this first week, don't take it as a slight either way, some teams have things for me to work with early, others are pretty clean cut at first, so lets enjoy the final build up to the start of the regular season... you crazy kids.

I am indeed out of town this weekend enjoying some family time on the Lake in VA.

I'll be home tonight, so I'll be back to working on news tomorrow.

With the league being "new" again, it takes some time to write these news stories, because I'm having to set foundations for season to come, and also start throwing some challenges in the way of teams.

Continued patience is appreciated, as this game is not designed to be a job, but a hobby.

A suggestion for the boss - could you edit the scores of the games into the schedule post at the end of each week?

I'd like to know who has won each game, but downloading and looking at PDFs for all the matches with all those stat lines is pretty time consuming, and I definitely won't be able to do it on ship.

:)
