Cologne Express GM Change


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hell I had differences with Kendrick and even got him to trade me. But I would never call him out on any personal level. He did a great job as a GM and brought together a bunch of guys to have a decent playoff run. He even brought back a few inactives. Hands down I had a great time playing for him in Cologne for the season that I did but never should anyone's personal life, be brought into this.

Taking shots? You were inactive for how long? It is nearly impossible for you to gather all that went on when you weren't here. I was merely speaking about the stuff you claim you understood but weren't around to figure out. Taking it one step further you attacked me in a thorough lashing. I for one have differences with people here such as Victor, but never in my wildest adventures would I slander the guy personally for who he is. You however have gone and brought my profession into it to basically call me out on something you don't know? Okay Meg, I'm sure your multiple suspensions and ability to stay off your medication allows people to view your opinion heavily in all situations.

Ability to claim moral high ground hereby waived.

It was waived awhile ago. If you know Meg, you'll know she goes on spurts of raging at anyone. I did nothing wrong in my OP and for some reason it was treated by her like a complaint. It was more a reflection on things that went wrong while I was there. It is one for someone to say something if they were front and centre for it, but another for someone who is barely here when it happens to just start taking shots. I'm done with having to explain myself to Meg, someone who has been suspended from almost every league she has been in.

 

Yeah I didn't succeed in Cologne, many things were challenging but I'm as much at fault as anyone who went inactive on our squad. It's all in the past now as another chapter will start. As I said before, I wish everyone luck and hope whatever the league brings them is far beyond their expectations.

why are you complaining when you knew what you were signing up for?  Like I don't get it you knew you would have no assets and you're like it's so hard guys.  We know it's hard and you knew it was hard before you started or at least you should have.  Like these other teams legit had a 25 season jump on you did you expect to come in and it be easy?

congrats to romanes you were a great gm whatever whatever whatever everybody else already said and no one likes victor

oh what a raging attack how could I ever take such terrible shots at you

I don't think you understand what I was saying. I also think you've lost grip on reality. I never said it was going to be easy. I said some people told me it was going to be easy, and I'm shooting that notion down. I think you need to read more. I digress though as this wasn't started to create a bitchfest, especially with an inactive.

oh yeah I sure did throw those first shots huh?  so glad I brought your personal life in to it first

y do u always do dis kendrick?  I read the whole thing, and I'm pretty good at reading, but let us recap.

 

"Was never able to add anything through free agency which ultimately was more of a broken promises thing and it taught me a lesson. "

Hmmm that sounds like complaining to me, but one must wonder, if this problem oft repeated was there not perhaps an underlying cause?  Sure maybe two or even three times could be a coincidence but more than that there is a reason they aren't signing with your team.

 

"I put a lot of effort in and can say I was one of the most active GM's when it came to trying to get the best out of my players. Ultimately that sort of came back to bite me and cause more headaches than anything."

Oh wait, maybe this is why nobody wanted to go to your team.  Hmm I'm not sure, I was on your team for a very brief time and had no issues with you until you traded with no explanation after you made me beg for a limited no trade clause.  That's not related staying focused, we can't rule out that this may have been the reason no one wanted to sign in Cologne.

 

"The last two seasons have been difficult for me to find motivation as I find for me the league has gone one step forward and two steps back, but that's just my opinion."

Ah yes, the classic masked shot at the league.  How dare this league do things I disagree with, for shame.  Is this a direct shot at Victor?  Most likely, but we can't be sure so we won't make that assumption, but I would never recommend bashing people in an exit speech.

 

"To any GM who thinks the job should've been easier than I let on, I urge you to have tried it in this league before judging."

Oh yes, an expansion franchise is hard Kendrick.  One can see that from a mile away.  Why don't you tell us more about how it's so hard for you in a GM job you wanted.

 

"You basically start from scratch with no expiring contracts or veteran players to trade off. So it's not really a proper rebuild as technically you have to suffer for a few seasons before even building up assets."

I think this is just stating fact but in context it is used as a complaint.

 

"I'll be completely honest, I heard countless times the "I would play in Cologne if I was a FA" line and after those guys hit Free Agency without signing here, that just became more of an insult than a compliment."

Oh more complaining about the free agency.  Wow multiple players said in an informal setting they would play for Cologne but when the time came they didn't?  Well maybe that was because they didn't fit in your team or like the direction you were going at the time, or we could even go back to the theory that they felt badgered by you and said this just to get you off their backs with no intention of ever following through with it.

 

 "The assets are there now and Romanes will continue to plug away at it. Good luck to him and good luck everyone!"

Ah finally, something positive in this post.  Yes good luck to you Romanes, hopefully these people won't wrong you so much in free agency and these GMs won't put you down because clearly that is all they ever did to Kendrick.  Poor, poor Kendrick.  I'm really truly sorry that you couldn't write a positive exit speech, that you felt so wronged at the head of Cologne that you had to go out like this.  Because let's be honest, we are all only here to have fun, and I am truly sorry that you didn't have fun when you were GMing Cologne.  Hopefully a little less hard job will be better suited for you.  Hopefully a position where you get judged less will renew your faith in the league.  But alas, if it does not, and you do find yourself fleeting in and out of activity, I truly hope that no one ever attacks you for this, because this should not be a forum for elitism but a forum for us all to frolic and play together despite our varying levels of dedication to sim league excellence.  But I expect you won't read this, because I am just a mere inactive who logs in almost everyday and does a point task almost every week.  I miss weeks, sure, and I was inactive for a while, yes, but that hasn't been the case since January and yet you still use this argument in the most irrelevant of situations.  Dear Kendrick, though my grasp on reality may not always be as strong as that of some, but rest assured it is quite firm at the moment and trying to use that argument to lessen the validity of what I am saying is petty and I would like to imagine beneath an officer of the law so why do you do it again and again?  But no this is not what this thread should be about, so again I will wrap up my post with a good luck to Romanes, may you be more competent than your predecessor.

AH NO I READ MORE HOW DARE I DO WHAT YOU SUGGESTED UGH I AM SO WRONG

my bad on the bold part tho, that was a little low I guess but you get what you give

and here I stand before you pondering whether I should even respond to this.  On one hand the last time you said it I didn't and the argument ended and that was that for you, not for me but for you and that's who matters most.  At the same time nothing good has ever come from responding to you in the past when you say things like this, for I have done so many a time and created only enemies, never friends.  So, for this time I am choosing to respond, but not in an aggressive way.  Just in an acknowledging way.  Yes, I see this, you are wrong and trying to slander my character, and I have plenty mean things I could say about you.  That is all, again congrats to Romanes

The funny thing is that whatever league you go into you always claim "I will say this even though I shouldn't" and it has resulted in a suspension. It's like you don't know why people trade you all the time. Blind stupidity is the worst kind in that situation. Oh well, so much for a botched GM changing thread that is more to do with passing the torch to a great guy, than a female having her weekly rant.

It makes me sad that you sport Corgis in your avatar and sig because such an awesome dog breed shouldn't be the representation of you. There was zero need for your initial post in this whole thread causing the whole shit fit, give it up, there was no need for your initial post.

Yeah Victor asked me for my GM-name and since I don't have a former player I can make GM, I just used the Co-GM I came up with in one of my Media Spots :). It isn't my real name if that is what anyone thinks?

Yeah I was like "That's not even close to his real name" although it is German.
