occasionally, i come to understand another manager's strategy, and learn something. i have been scouting EDH and i think figured out his clever approach to this season.

his squad has four capable veterans, a couple of them young, and then a large number of trainees, a couple of them quite promising. but, and this is what sparked my interest, with those veterans, why the enormous league losses?

i realized EDH is dealing with the reality of the league's salary floor by spending money on those veterans, and using them to stay in the Cup, which of course is some extra revenue. i think when those four are combined with talented trainees, he could have, luck permitting, a run well past the all-star break. that means the league games are used for training.

so, at the end of the season, EDH will have
-- a great draft position
-- a good deal of money in the bank
-- a head start on trainng a number of players
-- a core of veterans whose salary will be low enough to contribute in DII

i think he may drop with a team good enough to stay in DII, which would be quite a trick for a rebuild.

nice work.

and since i am up here on my soapbox, i would like to state for the record that tonight's Stags -- Riverdogs match is between two teams whose records don't match the ability of their teams. Pappy has put himself together a real powerhouse. Thegame187 must have neglected to honor the gods, and they responded with some early season injuries, but the season is still young and his squad is whole. if both managers take the game seriously, it should be quite a match.

Impressive win by Delta 9 defending their home court in on -2 effort and a wrong guess. I do understand the approach of Zenith given that he has EDH up next.

I already decided to rebuild and then come back after 2 seasons.

Ironically the goal that I finally achieved of making it to the NBAA, looks like will also be the cause of me quitting this game after a solid 5 years of playing......

sounds like he was a bit of a space cadet

He was schizophrenic actually. And pretty famous for a while.

Besides his nearly 1000 solo songs, he did an album with a (sort of) punk band. Here's probably the most vulgar song sincerely praising Jesus ever, well at least that ends with a Mitsubishi advertising slogan: (https://youtu.be/EbBYr6aVO6o)

at some point in the near future, i hope there is a VR environment reproducing "shikago's brain" where i can wander the endless aisles astonished by the all the weird and fantastic items stored, scattered and strewn about the place. sort of like a Goodwill store, but digital.

In the meantime, you could always try crack.

I imagine the audio loop would be an acoustic rendition of Shakespear's Sister's "Stay" running in perpetuity, and all the Oompa-Loompas are named Sourpis.
