I think most people knew you were dealing with important issues and didn't expect much participation.

Anyway, apologies to anybody if I contributed to the unease about last season with my lack of posting, etc. And I have gotten back onto slack, too! And I have already put in two posts for the Bucharest team channel.
By the way, when does the draft start this year? I want to make sure I don't miss it.

Re: Beirut Resigns.
Even as a kid, when I was playing all the games with "real" players--which I loved--I knew I wanted to be able to do more. That "realism" on the field was kind of fake, but the ability to make trades, and move players around, and whatnot, was more interesting than actually rolling the dice. So much of the events on the field were fueled in my imagination that the use of real players almost got in the way.allenciox wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 4:16 pmHowever, I have come to believe that the real fun is in "real" management of "fake" players, not "fake" management of "real" players as in perfect team.

So, yeah, this online GM simulation is much more fun and interesting to me anymore, because the moves are so much more baseball-like (with the caveat that the game has to simplify things even there). The act of player evaluation and building a team in a resource constrained world is the core of what it means to manage a team.
Life gets in the way for all of us. Just have fun, and the rest will sort itself out.Anyway, apologies to anybody if I contributed to the unease about last season with my lack of posting, etc.
