Well I see, if we are going to continue any kind of rivalry with bloomington, we will have to see them in the superbowl again next year, we are back in the east, they are back in the west.

You know I wouldn't mind getting free FP. I just spent some to fix custom EQ. And the down site is causing me to either work or look at my fantasy baseball team.

I have a feeling this is unscheduled "scheduled maintenance". They've done a good job at letting us know when there's going to be down time.

Anyone else think the addition of the Africa teams caused an overload on their servers?

African West Nile Virus?

They lost all the PM's for the entire day.


We were hit by a DoS attack of some sort early this afternoon. The forum databases went crazy with new connections and while I was trying to get things running smoothly, somehow the forum/pm database got corrupted. We've had to restore to the most recent backup, which was from last night at around midnight or so. This is why we do backups!!!

Any forum posts, PM's, and support requests created since last night have unfortunately been lost from what I can tell. I'll keep working and see if I can dig the data out from the live backup I made or the binlogs, but mysql isn't easy to deal with when it thinks there is data corruption.

Thanks for your understanding.

Level Avg by League

You may have already seen this, but it gives you a good baseline of the player levels. Granted the build is the more important aspect, but this is still useful. The logarithmic nature of levelling is pretty evident.

A Ring and Seven Million dollars in our Rookie season, What the hell just happened?

The LineBackers went out last night. They stayed very late Boozing at The Sanchez. Alot of players from around the Eastern League stopped by to thank our team for The Ring. Concho and Punk left with babes. Captain Wiggins, Smash and Ronnie pounded Bourbon for many hours. Talked about things they'd heard in the early season, Wont remember any of it tomorrow.


"Different Form of fantasy Football" (4/11 Wiggs starts a thread)

"..one Level 4, fatass OG" (4/15 J, intro for Jumbo Zaikov)


"I have no idea what is going on, but I made a guy for the WTF factor" (4/24 RSF. a perfect example of our early season strategy)

"he drinks too much and chases strippers around, but he's Big, Mean and Fast (4/21 intro to Ronnie Boozer)

"shouldn't be too hard, but need someone to spend about 15 minutes a day...." (Kyle 4/23 recruiting the coaches and scouts! Is 15 minutes a day about right Ref?)

"I'm just here to win some ballgames, I dont care what I get paid" (4/23 Seward Norse, the attitude that brought a Ring)

"I am very excited at how this defense is shaping up, if anything we will follow the Defense wins championships mold (4/22 Kyle)

"I like the attitude this team is bringing. Now if we can sign Ronnie Boozer, the alcoholic, steroid using monster, this team might be good. (4/23 Kyle) (Ronnie always liked working for a smart owner)

"The way I understand it, you can boost yourself three times a season, and Level as many times as you reach 1000 xp's" (C1-NRB. finally some clarity through the Mumbo jumbo)

"Quick Williams loves being Quick Williams on a day like this" (4/28 After we lost game 1, but you can always count on Quick for a solid soundbite)

"Care to comment on his 35,1 rating?" (4/27 JT Serb at Joe Roto's news conference after the loss)

"Quick Williams guarentees it" (4/28 Quick guarentees a game 2 win)

"3-0 us" (Punk 4/29 early in game 2, we won 33-10 and never looked back)

"and thats why you should
JUST THROW HIM THE DAMN BALL" (JTSerb 5/5, game 5 win. Record 4-1)

"Big win today boys. Lets hit a strip club and make it rain) (Wiggs 5/7. Record 5-1. I think they call this hitting your stride)(One of our first trips to The Dirty Sanchez)

"Wow 91-0" (our last regular season game. Running at a nice clip into the playoffs)

"Fk em, We're gonna kill em" (Ronnie Boozer, tired of hearing why we were going to lose our 1st playoff game)

And the greatest quote ever to come out of the Indy camp....
"Like the coaches always say,Peanut Butter with a 50 dollar bill is better than a slice of cheese" (Quick Williams)


Congrats all. Lets go do it again

b6, I exchanged PM's with the GM on my other team. The team is in BBB, but went 14-2 last year, before losing in the first round of playoffs. The league was very competitive last year.

The GM is interested in having you on the team, but it already has a level 14 HB and the team is very loyal to its existing players, which is one of the easons that I like the team. So it is unlikely that you would be starting at the beginning of the year. If you are interested in a back-up role and special teams, let me know and I will post the GM's PM address and you can discuss things with him.

I got a starting job in the USA BBB #12. In 4 Years this team could possibly be in the same AAA as us. But it went 0-16 so that's probably pretty unlikely we'll be moving up while I am a member of this team.

LOL

Haven't even played a full season yet and I'm already burned out by the politics of this game and league...

Email was sent asking for help...
So I did...
I even picked a non glamerous position...
Signed on to the site everyday...
Watched what my coaches told me to do on settings...

Now being told to spend money to stay as a starter....
So I did spend a little bit, but doesnt' seem to be enough...

So I am officially burnt out...
:(

2 more months till College football starts thank god.

Who the heck is our new short fat and less experienced QB? Non-gurupie?

Am I the only one worried about moving to a more experienced league with more "less experienced" guys?

Maybe I need to just concentrate on my youth football coaching and let other deal with the fake football coaching.

Team Berzerk is in need of a defensive coordinator.
I could post in the team forum but my choice would be to let a Gurupie have first shot at it.
If you want to get more involved shoot me a PM via GLB.

As a note RSF, Blades our backup QB last season wasn't a Gurupie either. And you can't just look at players LVL's to determine if they are better or not. Our new backup isn't as leveled, but he has better #'s overall.

Actually Blades had horrible numebrs and was a lvl 8 and not a team player at all. Didn't even know what flex points are. I bet he had some as he never even boosted with teh free flex he had.

The new guy is not only a team-player with better numbers and is lvl 9 now, but he has full custom eq and will boost all three levels asap.

Right after I signed him, a lvl 11 got back to me. his numbers weren't as good but he was also a team player with custom and willing to do whatever it takes. We don't have a gurupie backup QB. If injuries come in this year, this is going to be critical. Even if it doesn't, it's good to give Roto a rest at times so he can catch breath and have ebtter stats. Thing is we don't need picks etc. so it's a fine line.

I think we only have three non-gurupies now. We had at least three last year with blades, inferno and ferl.
