Re: Covid in Tripoli

Haha...those rumors about Tripoli storming the Commissioner's office are clearly anecdotal! :)

Thank you!

Covid in Tripoli

Hello

I have had Covid since 12/24...actually, both my wife and I have Covid. I have been hit and miss and will probably continue to be hit and miss on sims.

Tripoli Traveling

Hello I will be heading to Texas from 11/20 - 11/30 to visit my son. I'm not sure what my availability will be or what the WIFI at his place will be like. I wouldn't expect that I will be exporting consistently until I return. The reality is that the next few days leading up to the trip I will be sw...

Tripoli Off for the Weekend

Hello

My last fishing tournament for 2021 is Saturday, so I will be gone now through Sunday. I won't have my computer with me, so I will not be able to export.

Have a good weekend.

Re: I'm conflicted about most of these changes

Personally, I find it amazing the perfection that "sports fans" require from professional sports officiating...It purely exists for entertainment....that said, most professional sports aren't particularly entertaining to me anymore (MLB in particular).

Re: Manager restrictions

Coaches have been an addition to the game for a number of updates...I'm not sure what evidence there is that it will get "fixed." I'm not sure how one would even measure that. I'm not really into reality TV, so I don't see the value of adding any of this to a simulation that revolves around stats. F...

2048.6 Deep Fried Piranha Bites - 1st Draft

I have to admit that my excitement level was through the roof when I noted that Tripoli picked 2nd only for the fact that there were only 2 players worth drafting from the beginning! So, Tripoli, with the #2 pick took: lelemia Faletose - yeah...no idea on that name...No capital letter on the first n...

2048.5 Deep Fried Piranha Bites - Am I the GM?

If you look at my Avatar, there is a suggestion that I am an UMEBA GM and looking at the Avatar again, the suggestion could be further read that I am the GM of Tripoli....Is it true? Lane says I'm a full blown GM; I don't doubt what he says but there seems to things missing. But nevertheless, I hadn...

Re: LBC Away (Kansas City)

Arthur Bryant's used to be the best BBQ in KC, but I believe he passed and it isn't quite the same. Harp Barbeque is really good. Whole Hog BBQ.

Boulevard is a very good Brewery in Kansas City as well.

Have fun!

Not sure that's even an option. And if it is, then why have coaches?
In what real-life league does the manager restrict the GM from hiring coaches??
This is a fireable offense. I know it costs money but I'm not dealing with that level of silliness.

Re: Important Draft Rules Change

Trading of draft picks and the success or trashing of an organization and then bolting generally revolves around the set of GM's in the league. Being able to trade only draft picks in the current/upcoming (depending on timing) draft does limit the potential damage that can be done to a franchise goi...

Re: 2048, BBA Draft Chatter

I received some message this morning on Discord apparently that I was up in the draft. I had drafted a player an hour earlier than the comment. I wasn't aware the clock had started and I had plans all weekend. Once the clock starts I will make sure my picks are made accordingly.

Thank you.

The competitive balance picks for Cairo and Riyadh at the ends of rounds one and two are NOT in the draft. What are "Competitive Balance" picks? Recte gave Cairo and Ryadh extra picks this year to help them build their teams up. They were recent expansion teams and are in need of some extra help. O...
