While I know that FA doesn’t technically open until tomorrow. I wanted to go ahead and get this up so that the teams I decided to pass on wouldn't be left hanging. If this isn’t alright then I apologize and this is me not the GM’s that I chose to go to. So if anyone is to get punished. It should be me. Thank you.
My decision to test the Free Agency was a quick one with very little though. I’ve been struggling to really find the connection to the ISFL. I felt like there was something missing. And while I know that the DSFL and ISFL are very different. There was a worry in my mind that I just wasn’t as interested as I thought I was. But being in the DSFL and now being a GM, I’m super excited for what lies ahead. Regardless, I would like to take the time to apologize to Chicago for how I handled the situation. I should have spoken to my GM’s and I didn’t. I think Chicago is a fine organization with lots of talent and potential. But there was something that just wasn’t clicking for me. And I owe it to myself to try to find out what it was.
I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has reached out to me. I wasn’t sure what to expect in free agency, but I know it wasn’t this. I went thinking I might get like four or five teams. But that wasn’t the case. I’ve tried my best to keep up with the messages and give something to the GM’s and War room members messaging me. I know I wasn’t super easy to work with and for that I apologize. I’ve been struggling with different things and have never been great at expressing what I want. But regardless, I have come to my decision. I want to thank everyone personally and explain some of my thoughts.
Nola, @mithrandir & @ddrector, I didn't really get to talk to you guys a lot. I respect you both and I appreciate you reaching out. But for now, I am going to have to pass. Nola has had a lot of success in the past and will have a lot of success in the future. And maybe I will be a part of it one day. But at the current moment, I do not believe that Nola would be a great fit for me and the path I am trying to take.
Baltimore, @Frick_Nasty & @Hallmonitor_20 I am excited to see what you two do with Baltimore. And I would love to be a part of it in the future. But I don't think Baltimore is a great fit for me atm. I would love to join you guys in the future. But at the moment, I do not believe I am ready to commit to a rebuild team. With the draft coming up, I believe that y'all will have a lot of great choices that will add a lot to the LR culture you're trying to build. Hopefully we can continue to talk about Pokemon.
Berlin, @Dewalt27, @Highhaschdi & @Swanty. Berlin was one of the places I had in mind when I decided to test FA. I have a lot of respect for both of the GM’s that are running this fine place and know that y’all have had a harder time with the new sim. I work with Joe in Portland and knew he’d probably say something on my behalf. And I’ve talked to Swanty from time to time and wasn’t surprised when he reached out. But I don’t think the time is right at the current moment. I would love to play for and with you guys in the future.
Honolulu, @Attopax & @siddhus. Y’all are crazy haha. One of the teams that let me peek into their team LR. And it was a great time to do so. The hype that was going on was a fun experience and I think y’all have some great things going for you. But I don’t think that Hon is the place for me at the moment. I am excited to see how the team develops moving forward and maybe I’ll find myself in the great islands once again.
New York, @zaynzk, @woelkers & @platanocat. There was a lot of hype hearing from you guys. I’ve been joking around with Plat since we were both in the DSFL about playing on the same line. And this was my chance to make it a reality. I’m also currently updating you guys so I’ve gotten to experience a little bit of what the concrete jungle is like. But I don’t think this is the right time. Y’all are doing well to make a name for yourselves and I would love to play for you guys in the future. But my current path is taking me elsewhere.
Austin, @Amidships, @Kyle, @Tonzy & @RDBSouthPaw. I knew this one was coming. I took over Portland and have become pretty close to South. I’m also still in the Birddogs LR and have played some games with you guys. You’re a great group and a lot of fun. But I’ve decided to hold off on joining the Austin crew just yet. You’re growing a culture out there that will be awesome to see in a few seasons time. So maybe in a few seasons, I’ll be a part of it.
Yellowknife, @PMoney, @flyeaglesfly29 & @. Arkz is my rival in the SHL. My GM puts me in every game vs them (when we can) and it’s been amazing. Y’all also drafted Art ( Miss you buddy) and I know that y’all have a great group of people. But I don’t think the fit is there for me. At least not yet. I would love to play for you guys in the future.
Arizona, @Crunk, @Z-Whiz& @zeagle1. This one was hard. AZ was one of those places I was hoping to land when I was getting drafted. zEagle is one of my close friends and obviously my GM partner in Portland. Y’all had one of the most unique ways to show interest and I love it. Y’all are heading in a great direction. But I’ve decided to not sign with AZ at this time. While I would love to play with my co-GM. I'm not quiet ready to do so. I want to face him and beat him still. Much love to AZ.
Colorado, @Sylphreni & @SchwarzNarr. Sylph is a damn good salesman and Schwarz is as genuine and sweet person.. And the rest of the Yeti's have been super welcoming and accepting. I can see why it is a place that people want to go. In my short time that I’ve been there, it has become a place that I’d like to be drafted on another player. But right now, I have decided to not sign. I appreciate the conversations with Sylph and the gang but I feel like the Yeti aren’t the place for me currently. Hopefully we can still play games together. But if not I understand.
Sarasota, @Frostbite, @sakrosankt, @abh89, @Mojojojo, @slate, @LB3737. Sarasota came out in mass. I’ve got quite a few friends over there. And they came out strong. The team is stacked and currently a contender. As seen by the fact that they’re currently in the finals. But Frost suks Lmap. I don’t think I’m ready to be a fish. I would love to play for Sarasoda in the future.
Orange County, @Blasoon & @Memento Mori, I hear about OCO a lot from Rev. Pretty sure he’d bleed orange at this point. They sound great and I have a lot of respect for the management. But I do not believe that I am ready to sign with the organization at this point. I don’t really have a reason other than it just doesn’t feel right atm.
With all of that out of the way, I believe it is time for me to announce where I have decided to go. Ladies and Gentlemen, I would ask you to ring the BELL! DING DING!
Philly! @"Punter715" and @ShnarlyDude. Cody and Pat are another group that I’ve talked to a lot even before I was thinking about FA. I have a lot of faith in them and I love their style of communicating with their players. I also made a promise to a certain QB awhile back that we’d play on a team together. Even though I knew there was not a way I could guarantee it. But I got the chance so now I can bully.. I mean help Negs.
