(S15) - PT2 - Absolute Power
Complete the weekly Point Task to earn 3 TPE! All written responses must be at least 200 words. All graphic responses must show at least some effort. Do not claim this TPE until it has been graded and posted to the S15 claim thread. Also, if you try to build your word count by being super repetitive and rambling on, you will not get full credit.
This task is due next Sunday, May 26th, at 11:59 EST. Have fun and get writing!
Written Option: Your GM just called in sick today and left you in charge to do whatever you want. What would you do with your day if you had absolute control of your team for a day? Relocate? Make trades? Rework your own contract? Change strats? Write about what you would do with that power. If you already are a GM, write about what you wish you could do if fate/HO/other GMs allowed? Or maybe who you would want to run your team in your absence and how they would do?
Make sure to keep this civil and avoid potential tampering.
Or
Graphic Option: Create a sig of your GM character. You need to do more than just find a picture and slap some words on it.
Reminder, Graphic Options are unable to be submitted for GFX grades. It is either one or the other.

When the Wraiths team got to the facility and realized that the GMs were nowhere to be found, they immediately selected Nero Alexander as their new leader. Although he is a rookie in the league and has absolutely no experience running a professional football team, he won his new subordinates over with his experience volunteering at youth football camps. No, he didn't technically run those either, but he was real good at making sure those 4th graders kept their feet inside the ladder.
The first course of action, naturally, was to demote Cooter Bigsby back to the San Antonio Marshals. At the beginning of the season, Cooter's experience would have been a welcome addition to the Marshals; however, with the emergence of Peter Larson, there wasn't room for Cooter to play meaningful snaps under center. Thus, he was moved to third-string long snapper, where the team can be sure he'll never throw away a game at a crucial moment on the goal line ever again.
Once Cooter was out of the picture, the Wraiths needed a new quarterback. The only quarterbacks with a worse rating than Cooter are Micycle "Infinite Pick-Sixes" McCormick, Gus Terrible Thrower Showbiz, and Borkus "Completionus Minimus" Maximus, so basically anyone else in the league would be an upgrade. To Nero, the obvious solution was to call up his old pal Ryan Leaf Jr. from Norwich. Since his transition from QB to defensive tackle, Leaf has been chugging his "secret stuff" and preparing himself to shut down opposing quarterbacks, but upon his promotion to Yellowknife he was asked once again to lead the offense. However, since position changing wasn't feasible, Leaf had to settle back into the quarterback role with his current 6'1", 310 lb, 70 speed, 5 arm, 1 accuracy self. Well, at least his "more speed" handedness will make him an improvement over Cooter, who has never even rushed for an 87 yard touchdown. The Wraiths will now run a quadruple option offense, as shown in the diagram below.

By the time Nero had the quarterback situation settled, Daybe and BigRed had reemerged from wherever they were hiding/vacationing/recovering from illness/being held hostage. Nero was disappointed that he didn't get a chance to overhaul the defense and shift all of Cooter's guaranteed salary into his own bank account before giving up his GM powers, but he could nonetheless sleep well knowing that he left the team better off than he found it.

Well it seems @infinitempg ate some bad watermelon or some shit I don't know but he said he's gonna be gone for the remainder of the season so I took it upon myself to become acting general manager. What really happened was Tony "Big Salami" Gabagool had a wrestling match to see who would be in charged. With the aid of Beau Montgomery he distracted the ref while I pulled out brass knuckles from out of my pants and clocked him one good to get the pin. So after whooping @shipwreckrising ass I made it my job to make then offense run laps any time they talked over me. Ha suck it @KingCollins. Well seeing that the Yeti are sitting at 3rd in the division I took it upon myself to trade our 3rd round pick for the next 3 years for Yellowknife Wraiths quarterback Cooter Bigsby. Once we had Bigsby on the team I had a team inject steroids into him while sleeping and had him tested immediately for performance enhancement drugs. It was my plan all along to ruin Bigsby ls career since he ruined the San Antonio Marshals chances at an undefeated regular season last year. The very next day infinitempg came back to yeti headquarters stating that he is allergic to fruit and just needed antihistamines. He then saw the damage done and said "Berry, good job wraiths are left without a quarterback the division has gotten easier."

I have no idea what I'd do if I were given control of the Orange County Otters. It would be a very tough task. This team is so successful, I'm afraid that no matter what I do, I'd dismantle all of it immediately. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and that is something that I would have to keep in mind. That said, there are so many options that I think would be fun. First, I'd rally my team to let them know that I'm in charge. I'd take all their suggestions and see what I can do. Want a trade? Done! Pay raise? Sure! I'm a man of the people, and my actions would be selfless. I'd also use team funding to buy some awesome stuff for the locker room. 4K TV's, video games, a hot tub, and a fridge full of water, gatorade, and snacks for starters. Need to keep the team happy. Along with this, I'd look into getting new uniforms. We need to be looking fresh out there, and new uniforms would be great for the fans. It could be a way to increase merchandise sales as well. While I'm at it, I'd also look for a graphic designer to re-vamp our logo to signify the new era. I'm sure that when my GM came back, he'd love the changes I made.

Phone Rings: (Ring Ring Ring)- Chad- “Hello?”
DSFL HO - “Chad.. PBX is out sick today. You are the man.”
Chad- “Are you sure, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I know how to maul people, not hire and fire.”
DSFL HO – “We have faith you’ll do great. Enjoy the day in the seat.” (click)
Chad:
Hmmmm, where to start. I think to begin with instead of changing the team I’ll come up with recommendations for PDX when he gets back. Well we do have the best team in the division. Our offense rocks. Our defense is solid. Let’s start there.
Looking at the roster it seems to me that we need to get a real player into our FS spot, at least 1. I think our next weakest spot on the defense is our DT spot. While Shields and Wheeler have been doing a good job I think we need to upgrade another 1 of our bots to help them out.
Moving on to our DE spot, I think we need to generate more sacks. It may be worth seeing if there is anyone out there on waiver wire better than our bot in the DE spot. I know we have 3 DE’s but we need more pressure.
I wouldn’t change anything about our Offense. Some things to mention. I have no idea of our cap, no idea of who’s out there available, so really I can only internally give an idea on what I think needs changed.
I would change our colors though. I would darken it up a little and make our colors Orange, Black, Purple and White, instead of the Yellow. Report complete.

Everyone remembers where they were when the plane went down. @infinitempg was always doing crazy stuff. Everyone tried to talk him out of flying that hunk of junk, but its hard to change your bosses mind when he is set on something. Luckily all of the passengers survived, somehow. Also, all of the puppies that were on board survived too. @infinitempg survived too, he was just in a coma, and no one new when he would return.
The Big Salami new what he must do. Without his leader he rallied the team around him.
"I may not be the strongest player, the most active player, the best player, or even the most knowledgeable player, but for some reason I am now in charge, you got that?"
The whole team stood up and clapped and cheered and yelled and screamed in support of their new leader. But what would Tony do now that he had the power? The power he always knew he wanted. First, he paid himself. A lot. The leader needs money, he thought. He then started making calls. To every other GM in the league. He told them that he was open for business and that no piece was un tradeable for the right price. He brought in every player into his office and asked them if they wanted to win. He demanded loyalty and made them pledge fealty to the new King Yeti.
Satisfied by his players promises, he decided not to trade anyone. Also, no one was willing to trade with the new GM on the block and that made it more difficult. Upset as his failure he gave himself another raise from the team coffers. As Tony grew richer, the team began to crumble. Loss after loss mounted up, and the team grew disgruntled. @Frick_Nasty Mo Berry was the first to speak up against Tony. He stormed into Tony's office and demanded that he turn into Colorado into a winning team or he will lead a revolt.
Tony scoffed in his face. "You know that the only reason I haven't traded you is because no other team wants you right? You're garbage Berry, and your keeping this team down."
That was more than Berry could take. That night Berry rallied the team into a full revolt and stormed into Gabagools office where he was sleeping in a pile of money. They woke him up, dragged him out and put him into a truck bound for Mexico. That was the last time anyone saw Tony Gabagool. But there have been rumors of a new start up league in Central America, with the founder referring to himself as "La Salami Grande"
Tony wakes up in a cold sweat. "What a fucking dream"

The Arizona Outlaws overnight became the Cali Crusaders. In a shocking move, owner and GM decided to give everything to starting strong safety, Martavius Mack. Mack was quoted as saying, "You know sometimes things like this in life happen! I definitely didn't win the team in an illegal gambling operation run by the owners of the NSFL." The first thing Mack did was implement a new defense; 10 d-line and 1 safety (himself) out there playing 3 fly's up. Mack was then quoted as saying, "Kickers, quarterbacks, we dont need those, what I need is a bigger paycheck." Mack then suited himself up as a kicker and a QB. Things were not all sunshine and rainbows for Mack, he was actually a terrible kicker, and statistically the worlds worst QB (Behind Ryan Leaf). It is believed that Mack and the Crusaders will not last long in California due to the debt they have already occurred. "I took the team to California on a whim, but apparently whims don't pay bills." Only one season after the move, less then 9 months, the Crusaders are out of the NSFL and Martavius is currently looking for work. Mack has found work recently on a cruise ship where he is swabbing the deck.. wondering what could have been if he had just listened to his GM.
