coco: there's a difference between a troll and someone who calls it how it is. what would you call our collective performance over the history of the game? is the sample size big enough for you now at this point to admit we aren't just unlucky?


I'll answer this for him... NO. Coco's biggest thing was that we "should" have won most of the games we lost. Perhaps thats true. Perhaps its not. I believe the latter.

I remember you from when i first started this game for some reason... and god bless you. I've been saying the same thing. Thats why i have no interest in running for manager this term (and probly any in the future). We keep rolling out the same builds on players and expecting different results.

I wasn't gonna get involved in this thread because I got extremely angry last election and the national team side of this game is lame enough without getting me physically angry....

I will say this, and I've said it before... we will never win a gold at worlds, let alone contend, until we get a manager that isn't just a tactics guy. We need a manager that will spearhead the development of players so we don't end up with 3-5 identical players at every position, like our current cluster f*** at PG. Tactics are the easy part. The community can, and does, a fine job picking the lineups and tactics. Its the development of players and following that and getting people that are already excited to train players for the national team to train different types of players. That way we can not only have a multitude of options to choose from lineup wise, but we can also have the use of different tactics to pull if needed.

Good luck to all the candidates...

dear coco,

i think you misunderstand the word troll.

we could go back and forth substantively for eons. i'm glad you picked up a 300k a week bigman, very noble to disband your aging team. let's put it like this though. when i went inactive about 2 years ago, i had 4-5 mil in the bank. if i didn't think the process that somehow had us fall to a level well beneath where our userbase should have been, i mighta happily helped out on the farming front.

in fact, if it were say... ice storm as manager, i certainly would have done my part. instead, more of the same dross and excuses.

so i bled about 50-60k a week for the most part, i think selling a player here or there when i logged in. i'm basically an expansion point with a history at this point.

the u21 victories are nice, but not yours. again, we at one point had the 3rd or 4th biggest userbase. it mustve taken several seasons of epic mismanagement to lower expectations to the point that advancing out of the americas wasn't a given.

incidentally, i don't even fully blame you (though you deserve your share for sure). i blame the guy who (well i should leave this part blank... because it would be personal, over the line, and pretty blatant trolling).

LI on guards and a combination of driving and FT on big guys. Scrap JR from training. Period.

On an unralated topic to the other guy... I'm Hopson everybody and I am happy too. I like donuts and all that crap. I think I have the right talents for coaching U21 and m very active. If you think about voting for someone else, don't do it!

Are we supposed to remember this for next season?

Because this season is the NT elections...
