OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

[Mike Powers]

Cause Bone is a terrorist you see.

[T-Bonizzle]

So here's the rejected parts of my pre-game speech...mostly out of fear of incurring the wraith of Ian....

'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.'

I have been bottling that up all season.

[Dorling]

I have been bottling that up all season.

Would have been terrible of me if I'd read that before I'd answered my press conference and made my 'positives' a point for point opposite of your answer?

[Talon]

This was my reaction this morning when I saw that Jon got to make his move


JIMMY! Goodfellas

[Talon]

Just a question.

I see in the protections thread Chachenko is listed as retiring, but didnt he signed a deal to go to Vegas next year?


If I missed something, apologies, just trying to keep my spreadsheet up to date.

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

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.

[Talon]

Ill put out some feelers again to folks who were on the fence last time due to time (...before I closed their efed...)

[Ty]

Few shutdown?

[Jennifer]

That moment when you're genuinely considering make Brian Beast captain.

[Justin]

What season will the new cap increase take effect?

[Dorling]

The news article says next season, so 14.

[The TeeJ of Philly]

LETS GO YOU PLAYOFF FUCKERS! SOME OF US EXPANSION GUYS WANNA PLAY TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chris Shields]

Stevens is retiring at the end of this season, right? Just making sure there's no need to protect him and I'll need to end up replacing my team captain a season earlier than I planned.

[GM Franchise]

Few shutdown?

Ty you should come back next season. Just saying considering there's open GM positions.
