I don't mind. I have a highly competitive Utopian league to play in.

Besides, it's kind of fascinating, watching to see if anyone else will figure out how to get to the B3 level.

Both Muse and Vecx have beat me in the past and then decided to blow it up and take another path to slowly rebuild. I've always gone for more organic growth and one season retools while maintaining my EBBL spot, which has proven a more successful strategy over the last ten seasons.

Not my fault they can't get back to the top, they have to find a way around me. Muse is very close th having the team to do that, he had no luck last season and an unfortunate cup draw this week.

He will certainly back himself to win his home game against me, if he's still in contention but I suspect he's more concerned with making sure he wins the tournament, which at neutral venue is the best way back to B3. He just needs to avoid injuries, an away draw at Vecx or myself to arguably be tournament favourite. After all, I have less merchandising cash than before and a weaker team that's training its back court.

Muse has a great back court but both of those players do have flaws that need compensating for, and his front court is very good but not dominant in the way Vecx's is. I believe Muse is simply waiting for his SF trainees to make the difference for him. And if I was him, looking at my 33 year old SF, that's what I'd do too.

Nah, the only thing would change is point differential, not win and loss record.

The fan survey is due to the angel effect of winning the league. That's worth 40k declining to 25k as the season progresses..

Which would be far more dramatic if people actually tried - you would win less.

Nah, I'd win the same.

... before a fall

You calmed down yet then?

lol - maybe when I actually see people try against you.

ok, they are trying more, to be honest.
I've just racked scores up against Mdogs and Lithuania. Everyone else has tried, haven't they?

I agree with Muse's decision not to play full strength and crunch this game, which is the only way he has a chance at beating me on my court when I'm at max enthusiasm.

Well, I never said it was your fault. In fact I don't think there was any way you could find criticism of you in my post. Certainly I don't think its your fault you get so many easy games in a supposedly stronger conference.

No doubt they'll all turn up for the interconference games, there's no foxes here to frighten the chickens.

You've had one challenge this season... one person with 170k less salaries has tried. I disagree with Muse's decision but that is far from the point, the same happened last season. People giving you an easy ride is screwing the rest of us - Galaxy has a solid building team this season - tough team - but there is no way he can catch you with people throwing stuff like this. With HCA into the playoffs nobody has a chance unless you get injuries.

Then we are all stuck starting off next season with salary disadvantages again... rinse repeat.

I repeat - I am sick of people throwing your games - it has nothing to do with mine, I enjoy the competition and SOV did well today. My issue is way too many people are skewing your PD and your win/loses by not giving you as hard a time as the rest of the teams. If you can't see how that is affecting your team's income, then you must have had an easy ride for too long.

That's just not true. The first three teams all tried. I didn't try the 4th game against you. I hammered the two teams at the foot of the table. Muse focused on the easier league game and staying in the cup. That's my EBBL season so far!
