Subject: II.3

Also, who let the Wookies back in?

wow. Im claiming an upset. I figured with camp I woudl start 0-3.... GG

lol. gotta love the results sometimes. i had you on tactics, energy was the same, and i had a 4x shot advantage.... unreal

Don't pay attention for a week, now I'm in 19th place and I've wasted energy too. Oops.

Bulls you look like your team is doign well this season compared to last... My thoughts are that you will make the final 8 cut. GL

he should be 7th or 8th at the end if you want to base it on team strength right now

I'd say "luck" lol.
Last season I played with "I have nothing to lose, all to gain" so I played hard and tried to understand the game. you know .. D3 is not good to learn anything.

This season, although I had planned to run with the yongsters and let lose, I am a bit more patient. I sold a couple of veterans and will sell a couple more soon.

Not sure if I will make the playoffs because I will cut more veterans, but I am very happy the way the team started the season.

another thing is that my team had no chemsitry last season. I am still building it up but much closer to full chemistry.

One of the strategies I used when I was in II.3 and had no illusions about being ready (or able) to promote was to burn lots of energy during the regular season, so I could make the playoffs and be guaranteed to finish no lower than 8th.

It's not a good way to promote up to I.1 if your team is ready to go, but before then, you can ensure a decent finishing placement and have no worries about relegation.

well that is sort of what i did last season but then i figured it would be tough and then i decided to rest and win the first relegation playoff match up and then avoid it

This season i am burning a bit less so maybe my team has gas to run till the end.

I just need to run the vets for 2 or 3 seasons allowing me time to build the facilities.

Its not just that, it is the OTR and sponsor bonus that are better by playing this strategy ...

Mojak,
You went and tricked me into playing normal then switched up on me, you sneaky sonna'....

Didn't really help as much as your PP goals though. I clearly don't have the grasp of the special teams' counter-tactics yet.

It ain't happenin' twice

how can he trick you?

It was just hyperbole (which I admit doesn't translate well in text). He had played almost exclusively defensive tactics so far this season, hence I set my team to play the counter-tactic to that and he then ended up playing the counter to my counter.

Just some VERY light-hearted trash-talk

on to the round of 32 in the national cup.... how did everyone else fair?

Squeaked by Tuajgue team.... Feel like him and I play eachother a lot so I was happy with the 2-0 win!
