So, have you ever met someone on Lithium? Sure they were crazy once and not that fun to be around at times, but now they are dead inside. It's the way I feel about this league these days. Sure Kendrick and Boubai were a hand full, fuck so was I at times. Now we have nothing, there is no rivalry, there's nobody opposing the status quo. Everything here has gone automated and the system fucks up more than the humans running it before did. I know I have graphics in the wrong weeks, missing job pay, I don't even bother caring anymore about updating. I just try to remember what I can when I get around to it. Man, we even do trades on the portal now, Update on the portal so we can't look at someone's updates anymore. There is nothing much personable left on this site. Can't figure out how to do lines on the portal which would be most useful but would likely add work for the simmer. I don't know how the rest of you feel about the state of the league, I know some will like the automation of the league but I'm not one. Some like that the arguing is gone, It may have been out of control at times but I liked bickering with Kendrick, he would get wound up so easily. Oh well maybe the league is better without a personality, we seem to be bringing in new members daily which is great.
Maybe I'm just too old for sim leagues any more, being 40 and owning a house and having kids really doesn't leave as much time for this as I had as a younger man. I can't remember how long I've been in sim leagues but it's going on 15 years or more at least. I love GMing teams and I especially like winning cups with them and I have no plan to leave Calgary any time soon, but I do have a plan. I want to have 2 more sets of players for sure as GM of Calgary and then I will re-assess but I do think I will walk away from sim leagues for good at that point and despite my above rant. It's not really about any of that It's just my time to go, I think, lol.
I definitely have some things I want to accomplish here before I go, Winningest GM in Calgary history, Builder HOF is a goal along with getting one of my players in the HOF, I have a feeling Stopko and Canmore can both make it in with any luck. I would also love to have the career goals, assists, Wins, SV% type team records in Calgary before I go for sure. Not sure what I'll do with my players yet that are on Calgary, we may go for it again next season if things look ok, hard to tell though since I still haven't got my off-season position change done yet and still haven't had my lines applied this season.
