Yea It would be hard to say how many will follow. Maybe it's something we could set up that multiple people could take the initiative to get people following. I think older managers wouldn't be as interested as newer managers would be. So possibly another way to target D.V and D.IV managers that just started.

This is for Isaiah and Magiker:

Fellas, as you both know, there can be an intolerable amount of hardships that come with managing a national team; especially one held with such lofty expectations as the US NT. Because of this, I feel it's important that the candidates understand, we too, as voters, share these same hardships. There's a lot of pressure put on us voters! We're held accountable for the candidates we vote for. As one teenage girl put it, "duh!" Honestly, though, I worry of the ridicule I'd recieve if I ever screwed up, and chose the wrong candidate. I couldn't imagine the things people might do to me. So, as you can see, I have to make certain I don't screw this up!

*Here are my questions:

1) Studies show, in last seasons World Cup, the US NT finished in lamest part of Pool B, possible. When asked about this, one US manager even went as far as to say, "it was pretty lame." Would you agree, or disagree? Why? (Also, do you feel the urge to punch that "one US manager" in his face)?

2) Hypothetically and metaphorically speaking, say I was sitting on a toilet, took a crap, and had nothing to wipe with. Then, out of desperation, I decide to use one of my hands. Keep in mind, one hand has the name "Isaiah" written on it, and the other, "Magiker." In YOUR opinion, given the predicament, which hand should I use?

3) I will vote for one of you, if for some reason, you wanted me to. Would one of you guys want me to do that?




(*) - All questions will factor into decisom making, however, should not be taken literally.

Those are some truly unique questions hahaha.

1) It was absolutely lame. Those dang BB gods just hate us. When are we going to be able to compete for a world's gold without being slipped a date rape drug from the opposition and get screwed? We got screwed so many times last year that it hurts. It hurts in places that you don't even want to know. So yes it was "lame" but I'd rather call it something else. U.S will get revenge,just know that.

2) I Can take the crap. Won't bother me one bit. If I couldn't take it then I wouldn't be running for NT manager ;).

3) You would do that?? Definitely vote for me because you won't be ridiculed by the haterz

.

I'm leaning towards wiping with that Magiker hand! Whoa! Plot twist! A man who can take his own crap? I like that! That takes a load off me.

This is for all candidates:


Report: Unnamed sources claim 90% of Americans who don't play Buzzerbeater, less likely to vote in this seasons US NT elections.

- That's an astonishing amount of people not voting! In one sentence or less, what would you say to these people in order to garner more interest for Buzzerbeater, and/or voting?

- Are you more concerned about these "unnamed sources," or the 10% of non-BB managers eligibly voting?

-----

IN OTHER NEWS: Reports claiming "unnamed sources" found to be notoriously unreliable, often citing rumors off teenage girls twitter accounts. When asked about the matter, one teenage girl said, "like, it's totes true!" .... mindlessly blabbing on,"Did you see Sarah's hair the other day? Omg. Does she even shower? She's such a skank!"

1. It was pretty lame. I probably wouldn't want to punch that "one US manager," especially if he had fecal matter all over his hands...

2. Hypothetically and metaphorically speaking, unless you're on a cruise ship, you'd probably go ahead and then wash your hands. Your crap is then spread on both hands as they're washed, and our names are likely washed off at that point. So does it really matter? However when wiping yourself, I would prefer, for your sake, you use your dominant hand. This is an important situation, and there's no reason to half-ass (no pun intended) this. Also, if our names are permanently on your hands, I'd prefer for be on the non-dominant hand for several reasons, not just this one.

3. Probably.
