Incredible run!

It takes an insane amount of work to strategize each season and win it all.

Separate from that and to use a wrestling analogy I do think that someone going Hulkamania in a league and taking the past 11 titles of 12 overall since real year 2016 displays a trait of selfishness.


But your run is extremely impressive. :)

Thanks Smirt. I know a few of those titles came against you. :P

I've only taken 9 of the last 11, so just under your Hulkamania measure. Ha!

But trust me, I've struggled with the idea that me continuing to win championships might actually be really harmful for that league. I imagine it's frustrating for other owners to feel like they could never break through. A few owners have told me they enjoy having the challenge of knocking me off, while a few other owners have accused me of cheating to win (usually right after they've lost to me in the playoffs). That's always fun! *eyeroll* You were always a class act in MFN15 Smirt, so know none of this is referring to you.

I know I've never cheated, and many good owners will vouch for me on that too, so I don't really let that get under my skin. One owner did go as far as taking over a team in the league and gutting it, sending every good player to other contenting teams via really lopsided trades to try and spite me. That still bothers me though.

It's been hard to walk away with the streak going, but maybe now is the right time. I've got a few more days to debate that.

You beat me in one title game. Already established team (created juggernaut, probably, through trades) vs. my entry into the league, mid-stream. So lets not beat our own chest Drogers style.

You were there for 2033 championship as well. You just left before the end of the season so the team history says it was an AI season. I only mentioned you for fun, not to gloat. I've always respected your teams.

Ok!

And likewise, of course.

Reason I got moved to initially comment is because I pulled from a real life situation in this game (MFN-74) which irks me. So wanted to congratulate you and then shed a light on the other situation I feel is ridiculous.
