OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

[Kirk]

One more piece of advice from me: never play the game drunk/tired or when you're having a bad day. Just check out my demise in Tempe to see why.

[GM Franchise]

Thank you for the advice I will copy paste it onto notepad. How does someone kill people and blow off coaches? I read through some threads and I didn't see any murders or sex

Read the Anchorage thread. I drank gasoline with Cappy Fields and the fun ensued from there.

I learned from the Tempe team thread not to be mean to my players.

[Kirk]

If you read the Seattle team thread, you'll learn the importance of blowing your coaches.

Do you mean that literally or figuratively?

You have plenty of time. This season is only half over and you don't start until after the playoffs end.

Remember the difference between your coach and your owner

[TimBucktuo]

Ok, I will How do you forget the difference?

[Mike Powers]

You will then be given 3 colors. Green = Sales pitch in thread. Orange = Meh show me the money and nothing else. Red = Thanks but suck my balls.

That only works for pre free agency or mid season free agency. Actual free agency is a free for all first come first serve.

I thought that green/orange pitches/offers were sent in via pm, not in the thread.

Welcome new guy!

Wake up and respond whe still possibly drunk

Welcome new guy!

I thought that as well.

Where are the rules posted so that we can check? Was it just something that was announced in this thread? I'm never going to find it if that's the case.

Some reading you can do to see several ways of doing things:

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

Three GMs in 4 years. A whole lot of "What not to do" here.

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.

Kirk, it's the same as last season, Ian posted the rules last season.
