A user, Lee Scott, has applied with the following information using the application form.
Real name: Lee Scott
IP: 2a02:c7f:c96:3f00:f97f:cae4:45d4:cb3d
Email: lee.scott2406@googlemail.com
Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
Because I really want you to? Convinced yet? No? Ok.

I will be engaged in terms of forum posting and commenting and will be a regular exporter in game. I have a curious mind and tend to ask a lot of questions so you can expect me to pop up all over the place looking to pick the brains of the more experienced GM's in the league. I love to learn and be challenged and I believe that I will experience both of those things here.

How about now?
First/Last Name: Lee Scott
City/State/Country: Aberdeen, Scotland
Email Address: lee.scott2406@googlemail.com
OOTP Forums Username: Forza
Desired Forum Username: LeeS
Date of Birth (MM/DD/YY) for in-game purposes: 06/24/81
Occupation: Sports Writer (Yes, 'Soccer' is a sport!!)
Other OOTP Leagues (with links): N/A
Have you read the BBA Constitution and agree to abide by its rules?: I have and I do.
Do you own the current version of OOTP, and plan to buy all future versions?: Yes to both
Do you understand the Participation Point System, and agree to be a regular contributor to our community?: Yes. that's a large part of what drew me to the league.
What interests you about the BBA?: I think it seems unique! I love that there is a salary cap and think that roster management within one will be extremely interesting. I have also browsed the forum and been intrigued and intimidated in equal measure by the knowledge on display! I think I will learn a lot about the game and be challenged, I like learning and being challenged!
Describe your GM style: Measured. I like to think things through and build slowly from the bottom. I also love defence, don't hate me!
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): I have not. I am however willing to take on any aliases as instructed. Apart from Al Hoot, hate that guy.
Tell us more about yourself: Well I'm Scottish! I am married with three young boys and I currently make a living writing about football (soccer) my first book is due to be published on the 16th of next month and I will happily use copies of it as bribes in trade talks! I have loved Baseball for the last 10 years and I am fascinated by the roster building aspect of the sport, and by extension of OOTP. I should probably stop there in order to maintain a sense of mystique...
How did you hear about the BBA?: Whilst browsing looking for interesting leagues with podcasts and written content. I stumbled on a reddit thread and that led me to the rabbit hole that is the forum and site.

im gonna need to know if lee prefers cooking or swimming....

In all seriousness, welcome to the league. We already have a few UK guys here and you seem like you would fit right in with your writing background as we also have a journo and someone else who calls themselves a novel writer in here as well ;)

Assuming you are the total football analysis writer, your writing will fit in very nicely here.

Ah look. I can post now.

Busted, that is indeed me. To answer your other question I would err on the side of caution and state that I enjoy both cooking and swimming, although rarely at the same time.

Thanks for all of the other welcomes as well. Much appreciated.

Wait a minute...if you can't cook and swim at the same time I'm not sure you qualify.

Very wily to withhold that information until after you're authorized.

Damn.

Well technically I said 'rarely' at the same time. I mean of course I occasionally cook and swim at the same time. Who doesn't, right?

Nice thought, but no. I was let into the league during an uncommonly weak moment from Recte. I’m both an embarrassment and stain upon this league.

You can take the boy out of the UMEBA but you can't take the UMEBA out of the boy.

Still, it is a very nice lasagna.

Every league needs one. At least you appear to have embraced your role....

Welcome, Lee. And don't let Shoeless mislead you - I have left embarrassing stains on this league larger than any he could ever dream of. Take the dangling preposition at the end of the preceding sentence, for example. As a retired newspaper reporter and editor, I should know better. And I do, and yet I let my prepositions dangle with impunity. Embarrassing? Yes. Will it leave a stain? Oh, I hope so ...

Be that as it may, I wish you a long and fun-filled stay in the league!
