The NT debate this season is quite awesome. It's been great checking over here as I do scouting updates and other stuff, and I've really been enjoying reading everything.

I like that Beanerz is running this season, and I think he is qualified to take over as the NT manager. He has my support for the position right now. :)

Here's a question I have for everyone. What are your views on using U21/NT roster spots for saving players during the season? You may reference past results, base your answer on predictions about future teams, or draw a penguin out of smiley faces.

Before I answer the next question, I have a very serious topic to bring up. It is something that I believe has been overlooked by previous NT managers and I think it has led directly to our poor performances the last few seasons. In particular, GM-Rip was extremely bad at it.

Here is the question:

How will you choose the cheerleaders for the NT team?


I personally will be the first NT manager to hold tryouts across the country for 10 cheerleader spots. I will be doing it in the style of "Live To Dance", except there will also be a swimsuit competition. Beanerz, you are welcome to compete, but I have a feeling you will flunk the swimsuit portion.

Think about it. Our players will never be more motivated and they will always be in top game shape.

Oh man, it is on. After that statement I will be looking for some thug to take out Galvano's knees in the next week or so. Trust me, it will be BB's first 30 week injury.

I will basically do the same as the last time that I managed the U21. I will save lots of players but they will be completely the wrong ones and they will go on to have stellar careers as back-ups for division III teams.

HPP please be sure to adjust your scorecard. This appears to be the powerplay I was looking for ;)

Seriously now... Saving players is a huge part of the role and is something I will obviously put alot of consideration into. There are however many variables including timing, enthusiasm and obviously the teams success. As I have witnessed Mogul and other NT/U21 managers do in the past I can assure you that I would be willing to save multiple players if it is best for the team and for the Canadian community.

Well HPP we once again are going to agree to dsagree.

Cheerleaders are an awful idea. They would have our enthusiasm at all time highs as we all enjoy a pretty girl now and then. But with the genetically altered group of players that will make up this team, I suspect that there will be a lot of 'hook ups' causing our game shape to be awful or more like 'spent'. Seeing an old guy like Wendon grinning from ear to ear while eating a ham sandwich and having a smoke is clearly not going to be of any help.

I will probably be giving my vote to beanerz. On a previous sports MMORPG site that we both played he owned a team that was extremely successful and made it to the highest ranked league.

Apologies to the other candidates for my bias


Thanks Weather! The days of The Durham Odyssey, that was fun...

We're still going strong. Our dots are about 240 days old now, so maybe 4 seasons before we can make it back to World League.

The game still sucks though and I don't intend on spending any more money on it.

The greatest of all time.

]You disgust me with your show of good faith and overall positive outlook.



whoa there i hope that was sarcasm >_< I vow as NT manager to take the best 2 out of every position instead of the best 10 Canadian players I am taking the top 2 of each position as then the team will have more balance and hopefully get rid of some weak spots we have

oh and im changing my vote from head paper pusher to GM-Beanerz


Is your suggestion that myself, RIP and others have created unbalanced teams in the past?



no that was not in any way meant to suggest that if anything i think that what your self, GM-RIP and others have created are Amazing( idk about others I am sure Canada had some bad seasons in the past) i am just saying what i am going to do if elected that way the public knows how I am going to pick
P.S. GM-RIP http://www.images5.cpcache.com/product/31485585v3_480x480...

I think as time passes more and more teams will try to train U21 players and ignore NT becuase an NT player would be a burden on their economy( depends on what league they are in and arena size) and will most likley stick to training 18-21 year olds
in a more balanced way.
I think that it is only a good idea if it is a player who is Worth it and if it is earlier in the season, i personally will not save some allstar+ 5500 salary guy if it is the last week of the season
Since penguins out of smiley faces is too hard here is

Welcome to the mix. I want to start out by saying I think it is great that you are running and wish you the best of luck.

I do have a few questions for you based on your limited experience.

1) Do you think it is realistic for such a new manager to manage the NT? Why?

2) Wold it be a challenge for you to give build advice to managers with 10 times your experience?

3) What three skills do you think a SFthat hopes to make the NT should have?

Cheers and please don't take the questions the wrong way, they are meant to help you answer some of the questions that many Canadian managers are likely thinking.
