Yup, it has not been a good start in Erengrad. And last game new draft Markus Wheaton dropped the ball he was passed instead of securing 2-1, which also opened up for the attack on our other first round recruit Steve Beauharnais, who was niggled (apo fail, again!).
Wolfskins next. So far we have never lost to them. I guess it's time to prove our worth.

OOps, wrong name there, Sharrif Floyd was niggled. Steve just got a -AV the game before!

Excellent work. Also, the nitpicks, wishes and bribes worked into this version. Great thing the author takes the input. :)

Really a lovely morning read Arcayn. Can't think of anything better than a cup of hot coffee, and then poring (not the coffee) over this the next 10-15 minutes.
I have to admit, I agree with pretty much all your observations and rankings, and very happy to see the Wolfskins on top :-) I don't think we'll stay there all season, but it's nice while it lasts.
Thanks again!

i just love to read this writeup. And putting me in and out of playoff every round seems very precise.
however. This was a nice blooper.

I don't know what you're talking about SpecialOne.... :P
Actually, Thanks for the catch, it's been corrected.

Jeffrey and two 12 years old school boys are standing next to coach sonrises office door. Jeffrey knocks on the door.
"who's that?"
"Jeffrey coach! may i come in?"
"of course!" shouts coach sonrises eagerly excited from the inside.
Jeffrey turns to the boys and goes "wait for me here please, 2 min only" and walks into the office.
"hello Jeffrey! what a nice morning! isn't it?"
"sure, coach"
"come on Jeffrey cheer up! have you read ARC Rankings?"
"yes, quick look this morning. We are progressing well it seems, coach." replies Jeffrey without much enthusiasm. He knows that look in coach sonrises face and knows that nothing good is coming when coach is in such a mood. Jeffrey tries to go straight to business before things get weired "By the way coach, two nice lads are outside the office for an interview with you and..."
Coach sonrises interrupt Jeffrey.
"That's all you have to say about ARC Rankings? Get the Magazine Jeffrey and read entry #16 loud to me!"
"whatz!? but coach..."
"Read Now!" shouts sonrises
Jeffrey looks very annoyed but takes a long breath and starts "At 2/2/1 The Bear Cubs are..."
"Not this part Jeffrey! the important bits!" coach gets next to Jeffrey and points out a sentence in the magazine "start here Jeffrey!"
"Coach sonrises is working wonders with that roster..." goes Jeffrey
"Very accurate statement from Acayn, dont you think Jeffrey?"
"well, sure... but we havent played the top teams yet except for the pelts and we lost and..."
"Stop it Jeffrey! Read it again!"
"Coach sonrises is working wonders with that roster..."
"Now better? You get the meaning? or do you need to read it again? Jeffrey?"
Jeffrey is mad with coach sonrises but makes and effort to calm down and replies "Of course coach, very accurate statement from Arcayn"
"Good Jeffrey!. Now read here...aloud!"
Jeffrey needs to breathe in again and calm down before starting reading again "I'm sure there are several other DLE franchises that would pay such a spectacular coach at least twice that amount..."
sonrises interrupts again "My dear Jeffrey, are you feeling well this morning? Come on man! put some passion when you read this bit! Read properly jeffrey!"
"but coach..."
"read with PASSION now!!" shouts sonrises
"...SUCH SPECTACULAR COACH..." shouts jeffrey at full voice
"much, much, much better Jeffrey...thanks. So, you came because press outside waiting, right? We don't want to make them wait, do we? Spike Magazine, i guess...after such a good review..."
"I don't think so, just the Teddy Bear high School Magazine" replies jeffrey switfly with a sick smile across his face "have to go now coach. bye"
Jeffrey darts off the office and stops by the two young boys "go in now...and good luck"
Jeffrey leaves Grizz HQ really angry...coach sonrises is a complete idiot! full stop. Time to get him out of the job! Grizz coach seat must be Jeffrey's!.

Posted by thoralf on 2017-08-24 22:09:41
And I wonder about jeffrey's priors.
