.... I must say I am not a fan of having an opponent who has a kamikaze strategy.

Being defeated by a team with no long plan consideration and a strategy that would lead everyone else to bancruptcy can be a little frustrating. .....


Dear Mutton,

I am afraid you have greatly misjudged me. Please hear me out, and you can then judge for yourself whether I have done this league injustice.

When it was decided to kill off AGOZ (your naming) this season, I laid out some guidelines for myself.

1. Not to disrupt the league with a bot. This is and will be done by stay alive throughout the regular season, and botting only before season rollover. I assess this guideline met.

2. Ensuring fair contest to all teams I will face. So far, every game has been pre-scouted and playbook adapted to each opposition (except today, cos i'm typing this). No team has been given a free ride just because I am quitting and dun feel up for it on some days. I assess this guideline met.

3. Buy! and enjoy my retirement pension, but

4. Never spend more than unreasonable or unfairly.

By unreasonable, I set myself the limit that the team should not make negative profit at the end. Right now, my economy forecast hovers around -$13 mil of profit. But that does not include friendlies, playoffs and bonuses. I think I could actually still make profit at the end of season. Plus, stowed away in my YA are still my real gems, who could fetch upward of tens of millions. You can fact check this with figures from my team salary and estimates of a full stadium income.

By unfairly, I looked at our past SD1.1. We had great teams like Mombasa Lions and Dracs Legions who went bots. All I did was to ramp my team up to around their level, something like their replacement. Would this really upset the league? Now you're giving me too much credit.

I understand your purist vision of this beautiful game. Rest assure, I've considered that before. There is no honor with buying medals. If you check, I've stopped buying since about 2 weeks ago.

Its no kamikaze or harakiri. I can still sustain maybe 2 more vets without going into the red. I may have only 5 seasons, but i've never spend unwisely, and have built up a small fortune( $ xxx mil currently. I shudder at the wealth of Vet teams). Of the current squad, there will be only 1 retirement next season (which I can offer to stay). So the strength will still be there if i choose to stay in the game. And for the season after, my gems 19 YOs will be ready to step up for whoever will be leaving. My small fortune and remnants of YAs can still sustain me for at least 5 years without having to rebuild. There are failsafes if I choose to stay, its not a team with no long plan consideration.

But why am i explaining myself? I am an old retiree, I should be sipping pina coladas on some bitches (no typos here).

Thanks to you I learnt what "mutton" was.
It does not seem used properly but still, thanks.

Now, without entering in an endless debate, I still think the strategy you picked has no long term consideration. But as I said, good luck for your last season and let's hope we can face each other later.

PS: there is no team currently in SeaDevils 1.1 close to level Monbasa had before becoming bot.

Two great games today.

Chimera @ Goats
Naprzod @ MSS

I will not risk any score forecast but I can tell there will be blood and tears!


The game was closer than the score shows. Terrible Q1 for me with 2 INT and 1 fumble against 1 fumble for Chimera.

I do not see who could defeat MSS this season.

Impressive win from Dublin.

The competition in AC South is crazy!

If my QB throws 5 interceptions like he did yesterday in SC I can still implode.

I kind of think something weird is happening with INT. It is like you do not throw any for many games and then throw 3 to 5 in the same game.

There is no competition, at the end, only Rioters will be in playoffs.

Now I'm relieved I've noticed that too... Unusually high number of interceptions.

Disclaimer: could be just because my team sucks.
