Sure, I'll do that (I even plan on writing short PMs to a player's former owner, if something special happens to him). I already had further ideas... I'm quite excited about this project by now, mostly because of all the great players you guys offer. Since I can't promise to make a great, successful team, I'll probably focus more on the fun part...


For example I thought about skill choice and three alternatives to simply giving skills to a player came to my mind so far:

1. A player tries to regain his former abilities (almost impossible in most cases, but still fun).
2. A player is still filled with nostalgia and secretly asks his former coach (that would be you) for advice how to develop best.
3. A player is totally out of his mind and choses whatever he wants (randomly).

I think I'll find an interesting combination. Very Happy


Anyway, I don't have that much time, so this will probably take some time.

That one was my injury collector. Feel free to give him a second chance to collect the -AV and the niggle he's looking for.

It was a lot of copy+paste work, but I finally went through all your players and stitched a whole team together - with lots of guys on the waiting lists!
You can find comments on some players and a list of those I had do decline (thanks for the offer anyway!) in my first post on this topic.

Take a look at your past players' bios, for some of them I added one or two sentences. Smile

Any complaints I should take into account before I submit the team to approval?

Ok, I realise I've already requested one player and that you have already made your team, but you are my only chance at justice and hopefully some of your players will be killed (or retired again?) and make spaces.

Following this bounty hunter thread I fell I am owed an opportunity to exact revenge on this player, without him cheating me with early retirement.

I really want this guy on the [bounty] list.

Rotter

For 2 reasons, this first one being this match.

and the second being because he breaks his own teams "cherry-picking waiver" rules.

Well, that Albert guy has already been retired, Kinks. No revenge for you, I'm afraid. :-/


[edit]Just realised, your rules state no Nurgle. Looks like he has managed to elude my revenge yet again![/edit]

Waiting list - warriors
Abercrombie/Crom (Kinks) | Note to Kinks: Which name would you like him to be called?


Yay, he made the list, a warrior too!

Crom was his nickname, but he will happily answer to either Smile

Thanks

Return Of The Retired are activated now! Let's see when they will get their first game (might happen tonight)...

Well... if you politely asked his coach whether his warrior would like to play on my team, I'm sure I could make it happen. Maybe I shouldn't be too strict about Nurgle - after all, they have no place to go besides other Nurgle teams, those poor guys.

I'd love to get more beastmen on the waiting list. What bothers me a bit is his number. If the players are in fact individuals and it's only the lazy coach who calls them all the same, I could live with him on the list (removing the number after his name). If he (his soul? his essence?) actually has already returned as Cabrit III, I'd leave him where he is.

Definitely a great player - but I just can't imagine rotting lizardmen on a Nurgle team, that's why I excluded them. On the other hand, if you put some more effort into it, he could become an exception from the rule. Wink

Then he better doesn't split his soul to side-incarnate as a rotter. ;-D
