I'd hate to say it but I could see one of us getting through this 10/10 challenge and then getting 9-7 'Truck'd' in the Title Game. I'm calmer now but I'd be going bonkers in the past. Truck is like that designated GM for me - like no way I lost to him in a Title Game. Got many of those in Title Games.

any way, light day - I kick this out and don't come under attack until 7 pm est.

Good luck, CJ!

It'd gonna take some luck to get past you...I've put in some extra work so it either blows up in my face or makes all the difference. Now it's out of my hands and all I can do is wait and see how the dice rolls.

It's ridiculous that this is our 10th time in 21 seasons playing in the AXC Conference Championship game versus each other.

What's even more insane is there has been 42 teams in 21 Conference Championship games and combined we have been 29 of the 42 teams.

They has been only 2 AXC Conference Championship game where at least one of us didn't play!

2025 Michigan 31 @ Oakland 21
2033 Texas 13 @ Cincinnati 7

Winning the Title is the XFL hasn't been easy! Currently the AXC has won 11 and the NXC has won 9.

10 different teams have won Titles in 20 seasons which speaks to the competition level in the league.

AXC
Dakota 4
Buffalo 4
Oakland 2
Texas 1


NXC
Atlanta 2
Gem City 2
Zehlendorf 2
Arizona 1
Philadelphia 1
Carolina 1

We've cooled off but there was a time period where you and I were meeting in every single conference final and title game on the platform. When you keep coming up against the same brick wall again and again with 2 highly competitive people - it gets charged up.

We do our dance here but otherwise haven't gotten in each other's way any more!

Who do you think is the new age problem: Legend the Ruthless, maybe? I know brixy (sp?) was getting cocky due to not getting touched/not taking an L in one of those GM Leagues. Infinite titles in a row.

Honestly, I'm not sure. It takes me an hour to do my custom power rankings plus the write-up and I have 2 of them to do every other day.

Add another hour for playoff writeups in various leagues every other day.

Then I spent at least 1-2 hours a day updating everything I started in the XFL every day of the week. Most of that is in the background until I can finally release the data.

I spend another few hours a week chasing down trends or anomalies in stats or performance across my leagues.

I just love collected and analyzing the stats and post most of what I do but sometimes it's just for me.

With all that time, I've sacrificed my time gameplanning and tend to do very little adjusting or changing up what I'm doing.

I know some owners are doing great things but it's just not the ficus of my attention most of the time especially outside my own leagues.

Most create a character and focus on getting experience and leveling up, a few become the Dungeon Master and create the world those characters live in. I'm more of a DM then a roleplayer.

You're one of the pillars that holds up the barely hanging by a thread - MFN.

Without your leagues, Greg, Admiral's, Big Data, Mogul's, the NCAA - Private colony and 1 or 2 other leagues...the site would be done. XFL, USFL, Legends, Paydirt.....very very few highly competitive filled leagues. You're the main content driver with your leagues, without that probably even more people would have bowed out of the game.

I've given serious thought to raising some capital and buying MFN from JDB outright.

I honestly think he is sitting on a goldmine. With the emerging global market for football plus the ridiculous level of popularity in the U.S.

If the code can be tighten up and an App was made available for Apple and Android phones...this sim would explode, it's perfect for mobile gaming and with an interface designed for mobile....the sky's the limit!!!!

I would Grandfather everyone currently an owner in with a free lifetime membership plus would invite them to become monitors and League administrators.

With the mobile version, you can join 1 league for free and then you could have different tier paid leagues that offered cash prizes for the title winner. There is so much you could do to grow the game while improving it!

Between the attendance (93%, not 100%) and the dice rolls - I was up against it. The turnovers and your initial drive+ everything was clicking in tight quarters on passing with runs mixed in. Click-click-click. I got you with my present (that was an intentional rule) - I need to add more from that set next season. Good game!

Good luck in the title game.
