Goalline Blitz...Awesome Browser Football game... who wants to starts a team? *Merge*

[Capt.Gut]

We better play the run against Paris. They ran for 270 yards in their playoff win.

[jterrell]

Gonna be tough next game. Paris has been winning and with huge shutouts.

We will need a tough fought defensive win next game for sure.

Upping our run defense percentage but still playing their passes deep for when they do pass.

If your tackling skill is over 35 then I'd say go for forcing turnovers in tackling unless you are a safety or CB, last line of defense has to keep wrapping up.

Let's do this fellas!!

[hairic]

Since there's no XP given for playing in the playoffs, play counts don't matter. So at those positions where there's depth, should they (or at least a couple of them) switch to hard play intensity?

[sacase]

Look at this sweet play! I took it to the HOUSE!!!! 84 yards on the return, ain't no one got anything on me!

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1089699

[ajk23az]

Brian Griffin

4 tackles
2 Forced Fumbles
1 pass defense

helllll yah...

[Muhast]

Sure dont give credit to Matt owen for his great block :(

[sacase]

Cant' return kicks without excellent blocking....that was textbook!

[hairic]

Paris only has a couple players with publicly viewable attributes:

T: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=28852
DE: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=29529

And the kicker, but none can adjust to that.

[Muhast]

what is your speed like?Just curious, your dude was flyin

He only gets 16.5 YPG, he wont be a factor :)

[sacase]

38.5 right now.

[superpunk]

Next set of flex points I get, I want to make a new player.

What positions are you fellas looking for? I need a player on a winner. :)

[Capt.Gut]

It definitley makes sense to create the player before 04/20 (last date for boosting your player for this season). You can boost him 4 Levels for this season and 4 levels the next season.

[jterrell]

Zoneboys 2 could use a DE so if any of the Zoneboys 1 DE's wants to move over let me know. HoL promises lots of sexy good playing time for the guy who'll move over.


----------------

We are gonna focus on the Paris run game and play more zone to stop their deep passing. Looks like that is their m.o. Guess they are coached by Bill Parcells. Run a lot then go deep.

Specials are nice but let's make sure we are getting enough speed and stamina and vision.

Now its time to strap it up and knock their jocks off.
I wanna hold them below 150 yards rushing.

[hairic]

Took way too long for the server to let me apply skill points. I won't be back on a comp until tomorrow night so I had to stay up to set them now. Good luck all, hopefully I can cover the TE. He shouldn't be able to block me, but I'm not worried about that.

[NewEraCowboy]

wow we got our rear's handed to us... That team is on a roll 28-3

[ajk23az]

We got our A***S handed to us boys. 3-28. They rushed for 292 yards. Passed for 150. They held us to a total of 115 yards.

I tried to do my part guys, Brian Griffin had 5 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception.

1st Quarter
9:57 Paris TD Valentin Pellejero pitch to Mirko Filipovic to the left (18.5 yd gain), PAT made by Bris Krown [TD]

2nd Quarter
13:51 Dallas FG 34 yd field goal attempted by Guermo Edallas Ramirez Blue, made [FG]
6:58 Paris TD Valentin Pellejero pitch to Mirko Filipovic, PAT made by Bris Krown [TD] to the left (9.5 yd gain)

3rd Quarter
9:38 Paris TD Mirko Filipovic rush to the left (3 yd gain), PAT made by Bris Krown [TD]

4th Quarter
13:59 Paris TD Mirko Filipovic rush, PAT made by Bris Krown [TD] to the left (6.5 yd gain)

[ajk23az]

Career Backup is just what he should be :P:D Had 46 yards and THREE (3) INTs :(

[dffl11]

sorry fellas......once again i was garbage! 0 catches in the loss

Mikal Charney (WR) Zone boys

[Muhast]

Owen- 7 tackles 1 int.

[jterrell]

ouch! :(

That team is clearly stacked in the rushing department. I had us defending rush 65% of the time and they still went off. SUX!

I am assuming they went heavy run blocking on their OL and just pwned us.

QBs: We need level ups if you can swing it.

[Trendnet]

sorry fellas......once again i was garbage! 0 catches in the loss

Mikal Charney (WR) Zone boys

Trend Net didn't play much better.

1 Catch - 6 yards

In fact, of the 3 INT's.... Trend Net was the intended WR on all 3! :banghead:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1128096

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1128258

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1128309

What a time for a bad stretch of games for Trend Net

I have shared my attributes out for the team to view.

Criticism and tips are welcome!

[boba5555]

my punter, Mike Saxon, had his best avg of the season but to no avail in the loss
7 punts, 273 yds, 39yd/p

[Capt.Gut]

Man, what a tough loss. Mr Carrer Backup wants to apologize to the whole team. But the OL played bad an so did the rest of the offense. The D couldn't stop anything today. WOW.

Okay. We will be back in the playoffs next season. Offseason begins tomorrow. Switch to intense training.

DC Warpath also lost as No.1 seed. Ha Ha.

[Wolfpack]

Sorry Coach, your DT's got mauled in there today....3 tackels between two of em. Had Ratman on Run support too.

I think the OL is getting too strong for the DL in general....A guard only needs two stats while a DT needs a bunch. Plus their entire OL was level 10 or 11.

Time to hit the weight room.

[hairic]

Ethan Gustafson - 10 tackles, 2 FF, 1 PD. 1 missed tackle on the first play from scrimmage. In the last 4 games, I've forced 4 fumbles, so I guess that's promising.

It looks like the rushing average when I made tackles was right around 4 ypc, slightly under. Hardly any catches to the TEs too, with none against me.

Most of the TDs were allowed due to low vision, IMO, and on the 3 yarder we just got pushed back.

Anyway, with his line, that's what you get when you only have 6 linemen. 5 starters and one backing up 4 spots should get them all high levels and max XP/game, until the XP/game is lowered from 90.

[hairic]

Do you have any idea on how you are going to do the depth charts for the 3-4 or if we'd play the 3-4 at all?

That'd be need to know info for both the DEs and LBs in terms of what skills to train.

[Capt.Gut]

Why did our best center Hercules Hercules got only 14 plays in this important game? Was he late for the team bus or did he lost his helmet?

[jterrell]

Do you have any idea on how you are going to do the depth charts for the 3-4 or if we'd play the 3-4 at all?

That'd be need to know info for both the DEs and LBs in terms of what skills to train.

I will go 3-4 for sure if and when it becomes available. Killed Theisman is of course an LT clone and I think he is faster than any of our RBs and most of our DBs, roffle.

For the 3-4 we have the 4 starters obviously but we'll want another couple of backups... especially pass rush types.

I won't add many new players as the depth chart is about right in number's terms.

[hairic]

The teams added to our league are the Lake Oswego Bulldogs, Big Biz Elite, Fresco Ninjas, and the Kansas City Cougars.

The teams leaving our league are the Extreme Pipe Layers, Team Hanson Patriots, Washington Bullets, and the Centerville Utopians.

Only Redskins team we're left with are the D.C. Warpath.

[ajk23az]

When does the new season start up again?

[Pottsville Maroons]

When does the new season start up again?

actually top 2 teams in each conference will move up and bottom 4 teams of each conference will move down. Im not sure which teams will be placed in our division. ninjas and cougars will be moving to the pro league. the pyramid scheme they are going to use changed all this up. the teams being promoted should be the washington bullets and paris french connection, and the teams being demoted should be extreme pipe layers, lyon sharks, miami vice, and the shelbyville neutrons just for the eastern division alone.

[superpunk]

Why didn't I get any experience points last night? I was right on the cusp of levelling up!

[BoysfaninVegas]

No xp or training during the offseason. Same thing happened to me. I have a lvl 6 DE who has 808/1000 xp points and I haven't received anything in the last two days.

[hairic]

I think the updated league is set:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/league.pl?league_id=2

[superpunk]

I made a QB. Level 2.

Yoda Romo.

I'll play for anyone. :)

[ndanger]

I just read where dallas zoneboys 2 is going to be sold. I am not happy about this>I have time and money invested and now will play for a team that most likely wont be represented by the zone.If any body needs a level 9 linebacker or a level 6 corner please pm .me. I am bummed !:( :( :( :(

[goshan]

I am also on ZoneBoys2. I have a level 9 FS and level 8 HB. Both have great SP.

That sucks...I'd try to buy it but I dont have time to run the thing.

[ndanger]

I am also on ZoneBoys2. I have a level 9 FS and level 8 HB. Both have great SP.

I hope someone from here buys the team.If not I'm just gonna drop out and take it as loss.Sucks but my only real motivation for was this forum.Guess we will know in a few days according to the present owner.

[superpunk]

How do you buy a team from someone else? I'd be interested.

[ndanger]

How do you buy a team from someone else? I'd be interested.

I don't know but I guess you could ask jterrel.He would know.The current owner is homeoflegends. I feel for him as I am sure it is a big time responsibility and a headache. But I feel for me and the other guys too. Money and time are tight for us all and I hate waisting it.

[superpunk]

If it only takes the 1,000 points or whatever, I'll buy the team and take over for the Zone Boys 2. Tell whoever owns it to hit me up and let me know, I guess on your team forum.

[ndanger]

I'll tell him.

[jterrell]

AFAIK you can only sell a team back to the game.

I did receive a query at one point about buying zoneboys 1 but i just deleted it without reading the content, same as i do all trade offers from name is do not recognize.

If HoL is selling back to the cpu then we will want someone to buy the team immediately after it is cut lose obviously.If he is selling to an individual then all we can do is try to meet his asking price....

I cant see anyone buying via cash a team currently with so many available for 1000 points.

Hopefully he can advise.

[hairic]

Can't he just set some GMs and not worry about it?

He just told me that he does not know how to do a person to person and sounded like he has not yet sold them yet.If someone is gonna buy it they need to do it quick cause guys are bailing like crazy.I have offers already but want to ensure that i stay with someone from here.

[rguido]

if you pm one of the admins they might be able to do a transfer (sale) from one account to another. its just something you would have to discuss with an admin

[ndanger]

If anyone finds out something please post it here or pm me. i am going to have to do something by tommorrow at least. Thanks.My guys are Stiff Richards and ManUp McFly .I have offers to go to other teams and will make a decision soon.

Same here. I have one REALLY good offer. I need to know something within the day, otherwise I am going to ask for my release.

[superpunk]

I am going to get the team. We're trying to transfer it from HOL to me right now. If we can't do that, he's going to drop it and I'm going to buy it immediately.

Tell people to stop leaving. :(

Stiff Richards and ManUp McFly would like to welcome you as their new boss !I have their profiles open if you would like to check them out.Their playa's for sure.:cool:

[superpunk]

Sale goes down tomorrow at 9 pm EST, fellas. If any of you are around late, I might need some help in my new duties. ;)

[Bleak Eyes]

Sounds excellent.

[hairic]

Looks like you can boost now. I'm not boosting until the end, unless I'm getting abused, but the option is there.

The stats have also been wiped, energy reset, morale reset, etc.

No schedules atm, but it's supposed to arrive soon.

[superpunk]

Kinda looks like Dallas ZoneBoys2 got ***-raped overnight. :( Not cool.

I have a QB for us, but we'll need more.

Here are positions of need, from what I can see.

QB
WR
ROT
RG
RDE
MLB
P

[Bleak Eyes]

We should get Career Backup. He is a level 10 QB free agent.

[superpunk]

We should get Career Backup. He is a level 10 QB free agent.

Let it be known to CaptGut and Career Backup that we'd love to have them on ZoneBoys 2. :D

As soon as I'm able to make such a signing.

[Bleak Eyes]

Are you able to change the name once you buy the team? We should change the name to Dallas Zoneboys Duece.

[Capt.Gut]

Hey Zoneboys 2. I got offers from nearly 30 teams with 3 teams playing Pro league (on starting gig). There are some really nice offers and nice people out there. I declined an offer from an owner called BigRedskinsFan just because of his name. No way playing for a skin.

Anyway. Blood is thicker than water. And when I cut me, I bleed silver and blue. Once the situation about the owner is settled I will be the starting QB for the Zoneboys 2 team.

That is good.

Because we have zero QBs as it stands now. :laugh2:

[hairic]

There's a 10 day rule with this roster stuff. Those that have left can't come back to the original team for 10 days, so you'll be missing games.

Train on relaxed.

Who are you referring to?

[hairic]

Who are you referring to?

Every player that was on Zoneboys 2 that was traded or released within the past 2 days. If any of those players wanted to return now that the team is staying in CZ hands, they have to wait 10 days.

Career Backup was on Zone Boys, I think. So fortunately once we get him on the team we'll have a level 10 starter right away.

I don't know *** happened with all the players Zone Boys 2 used to have. But I'm bitter about it. :mad:

[Capt.Gut]

Yeah he played for Zoneboys.

[Bleak Eyes]

I believe that he thinks that Capt.Gut is going back to his old team.

EDIT: Haha. When I clicked on the thread, I was looking at the previous page, thinking it was the last page.

[jterrell]

what all does zoneboys 2 need now?

guys, lets fill the team up!!!

i'll buy some points and create some guys if need be but it sucks to lose level 10 guys... :(

[jterrell]

Any of the DE's wanna go over to Zoneboys 2?

They can use you and it is a spot where we have great depth.

[superpunk]

The sale is final.

I can change the name one time. If anyone has any input in the next few minutes, I'd love to hear it. ;)

[tomson75]

[superpunk]

Hop in the chat room, peeps...

[superpunk]

Any help we can get from Zone Boys (a very well run organization) would be.....helpful.

I need offensive and defensive linemen. If you're buried on the depth chart, ask for your realease. You can come to the Zone Defenders and get monies and playing time!

I also need WRs, and maybe a backup RB.

[hairic]

What position does ZD need more out of the 100 flex point group (C, G, T, K, P)?

[Capt.Gut]

I signed my offer.

I took this from a board i also play for:

CREATING A PLAYER

Here is some more info. This was stolen of a board from another team I am on.

If/when the time comes that you want to start a new player, follow these guidelines:

DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT settle for the first player the computer sticks you with UNLESS if falls in line with the below information. Chances are the stats are not very good and by rerolling your player you can actually gain up to 2 Levels (9-10 points.

You can retire and reroll a player with no penalty other then a bit of time. Usually it takes 20-50 rolls to get a top end roll unless you are lucky enough to get it sooner.

If you dont know how to retire your player right after you make them let me know and I can post a quick 123 on how to do that.

Here is what I have found so far for the positions I have played with so far.

Just a quick explanation:
Stats - The stats that vary with each roll of a player...there may be a few other stats that vary a bit but they are usually very unimportant.

Ideal Range - The total number you come up with when you add all the Stats together.

Highest Roll - This is the highest roll I have come up with when doing this guide. Each position was rolled a min of 40-50 times and sometimes more.

Notes - Anything I found interesting.

DE:
Stats your looking at: Strength, Agility, Speed, Tackling
Ideal Range - 60-62
Highest Roll - 62
Notes - I did see a few 20's in the rolls for Physical Attributes and the highest I saw Tackling was 18

QB:
Stats: Strength, Stamina, Vision, Confidence, Throwing
Ideal Range - 69-71
Highest Roll - 71
Notes - Since QB adds in a 5th stat that varies I didnt see as high of numbers as I did for the DE but I still saw stats at 18 on occastion and Throwing around 15-16.

C:
Stats: Strength, Blocking, Speed
Ideal Range - 51-53
Highest Roll - 53
Notes - I actually kept a 52 roll instead of the 53 as I wanted a higher STR/BLK then speed. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.

LB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Stamina, Confidence, Vision, Tackling
Ideal Range - 79-81
Highest Roll - 81
Notes - Again you have a whole bunch of stats that vary so it limits how high they seem to go...I did see a few 18's but they were few and far between.

Guard:
Stats - Strength, Speed, Confidence, Blocking
Ideal Range - 63-65
Highest Roll - 65
Notes - Jumping is also variable but I again ignored it like I did my Center. Pretty similar to the Center and I'm assuming the Tackle. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.

OT:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Confidence, Vision, Blocking, Speed
Ideal Range - 84-87
Highest Roll - 87
Notes - Lots of stats to look at here...highest stat I saw was a 20 on Blocking which is the one I took at 84 total. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.

Punter:
Stats - Confidence, Punting, Stamina
Ideal Range - 50-52
Highest Roll - 52
Notes - I actually got a 51 on my 2nd roll but kept going to see if that was really as good as it first looked....it was but I did nail a 52 later on. Highest I saw was a 25 on Punting...25 on Confidence and Stamina ranges from 7-10.

Kicker:
Stats - Confidence, Kicking, Stamina
Ideal Range - 50-52
Highest Roll - 52
Notes - Pretty much the same as the Punter. Stamina ranges from 7-10 and the highest I saw was Kicking at 25 and Confidence at 26.

TE:
Stats - Strength, Vision, Blocking, Catching
Ideal Range - 58-60
Highest Roll - 60
Notes - Depending on what type of TE you want to be you can look for stats that not only add up to a good number but also that more fit what you want to do. I was looking for high blocking and strength numbers ideally.

WR:
Stats - Agility, Speed, Jumping, Stamina, Vision, Catching
Ideal Range - 83-85
Highest Roll - 85
Notes - Ugh WR was horrid to get a good roll. You not only want a good roll but you most likely want to see the stats favor what type of receiver you want to be....speed or possession or get the roll and then just go with whatever way is easier. There has been some debate over Height and Weight and its been acknowledged that it does have a minor effect on things. This is one position I think you should at least look at it. The Jump Catch ability even states taller receivers can catch more high passes. If you want to go possession try for a tall receiver 6'2"+.

RB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Speed, Confidence, Vision, Carrying
Ideal Range - 76-78
Highest Roll - 78
Notes - Since both RB's and WR's have 6 stats that vary I figured I could get up to the 80+ range as well but that was a pipe dream and I think I rolled for 2+ hours to get the 78. Either go into this with a type of RB in mind or once you get a good roll let that guide you to either power or speed back.

FB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Blocking, Carrying
Ideal Range - 60-62
Highest Roll - 62
Notes - Here you gotta also look at whether you are going to be a blocking FB or a rushing one. I kept a 61 roll over the 62 due to the face it had a very high carrying and didn't need it for the blocking one I wanted to make but would have been great for a rushing one.

DT:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Tackling
Ideal Range - 52-54
Highest Roll - 54
Notes - You can really get some nice stats out of this one...20, 18, 16 for me.

CB:
Stats - Agility, Stamina, Speed, Jumping, Vision, Catching
Ideal Range - 79-81
Highest Roll - 81
Notes - Usually a good spread of 13-16's works good here so you can build however you want without any one stat being really high unless you want that stat high anyway.

FS:
Stats - Stamina, Speed, Vision, Tackling, Catching
Ideal Range - 67-68
Highest Roll - 68
Notes - I got the 68 in the first 10 rolls and rolled forever thinking I could do better...landed alot of 67's but never even matched the 68 and gave up when it hit midnight.

SS:
Stats - Strength, Stamina, Speed, Vision, Tackling
Ideal Range - 67-68
Highest Roll - 68
Notes - Very similar to the FS..same # of stats and seems to be the same outcome just a few different stats.

[hairic]

My Powerful Appendage is ready to go, until you can sign better than a level 1 punter.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=263129

[Trendnet]

Finally the new season is here!

Starts today...

Boosted and ready to go...

Of course, the draft is today... so that takes priority... but I'll be keeping an eye on the Zoneboys!

[hairic]

It works out perfectly - the games start being simmed exactly an hour before the start of the draft. If the game were simmed during the draft, I probably wouldn't check it until Monday.

[jterrell]

Zoneboys 1 is set and ready to run roughshod over Big Biz Elite.

We are going to try to focus on the running game with some deep throws. They seem a bit light in the LB and DB department. I am hoping to wear them down and hit them with big play scores in the second half.

[Bleak Eyes]

I hope that if we don't have a punter signed, we don't have to forfeit the game or something.

[tomson75]

I hope that if we don't have a punter signed, we don't have to forfeit the game or something.

I hear ya. Maybe the game will automatically use our kicker.

...or maybe we wont' have to punt. :D

[Bleak Eyes]

I wonder what Superpunk is doing. The punter was created a few hours ago for him to sign.

[jterrell]

wow zoneboys 1 good deal fellas!!!

we rolled!!!!

ran them right over!!!!

51-7!!!!

[jterrell]

holy crap... Tony D had 25 broken tackles, wow!!!!

[Wolfpack]

wow zoneboys 1 good deal fellas!!!

we rolled!!!!

ran them right over!!!!

51-7!!!!


Big Biz:spanking: Zoneboys

Good job coach!

[tomson75]

Defenders **** the bed in the fourth quarter. 17 unanswered and we lose 20-7. Bummer.

Lmao...our punter averaged 14 yards a punt.

We'll do better once we're set.

[jterrell]

our next game looks to be against an almost entirely cpu team.

we'll take that:)

[jterrell]

sux ZB defenders had so many players bail:(
but it'll get better.
the team you lost to today was just deeper and a veteran group.

[rguido]

yep Tony D had a heck of a game... He even got a pancake, got to love that

[superpunk]

jterrell, I'm looking for some help. Hopefully you can hook us up with some linemen who are unhappy with their PT. Namely defensive ends, offensive tackles, guards and centers. I think that's what killed us in the last game.

[BadWolf]

Even though we lost, the Resilient had the game of his career. 10 tks, 1 tfl, and 1 sack. Thats one tackle shy of all his tackles last season.

[hairic]

Since the ZB are basically playing a CPU team, I'm gonna see if I can squeeze some FF out of this win.

[sacase]

Everyone boosted and ready to go.....my FS has 50 speed :D

[sacase]

Holy cow we destroyed them 65-0!

Stone Wall had 20 Pancakes in one game!

Hair Bringer had 13!

Sticky Fingas didn't get much work though since they barely even got to him, but he did have over 100 yards in returns.

All in all my boys did good. 33 pancakes in one game :D

[jterrell]

anyone willing to go over to the Defenders and help out?

Our team isn't very deep actually but we have a few posts where guys are 3rd string and could start for the Defenders.

My friggin QB is one some other team because no one needed him late last season:(

My DT is already on the Defenders.

[Trendnet]

Next game against Louisville will be our first "real" game of the season...

These new stamina rules are seriously taking affect on my WR..

whew..

Still want the ball though! :cool:

[Capt.Gut]

We absolutey destroyed them. We ran for 575 yards. Tony D ran for 302 and Walt Harrison for 233. WOW. We had no passing game, but really didn't need it. Grind it out Coach.

[Capt.Gut]

They missed 59 tackles. LOL.

[superpunk]

At least one Dallas team is having success. :(

[rguido]

tony D will not be training the next 2 days so he can recover +18 energy for the game

[Capt.Gut]

With -18 energy you can train on normal and get back to 100.

My favourite play: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1368780

Tony D breaks 5 tackles and rushes for 86 yards TD. :bow: He broke the tackle from the CB twice :lmao: so he could use some speed.:p:

[daynje]

2-0 Now that's the start we were looking for. And we're destroying people too.

[Wolfpack]

Their servers are in bad shape.

[Muhast]

forgot to turn my training down so im at like 40 energy.

2 ints already though.

[hairic]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to train stamina. 60 plays dropped my LB's energy to 64.

My level 1 punter has some skills: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1367641

Please tell me this is a joke.

I think he started a new thread on it and it got merged.

Someone is trying to earn flex points. ;)

Ah, ok. That makes more sence. I tried earning flex points by posting in a few fantasy football forums and you would've thought I'd shot the Pope from some of the reactions I got. Think I'll just pay for flex points next time.

[jterrell]

SP,
I checked out Defenders roster and you guys have good starters but the backups are very low level in many places. You'll need to add cpu guys in between in for now because the stamina is gonna kill you late in games.

Set starters to play til 78% stamina then come out til they are 85%.

Definitely add cpu guys til the lower level guys raise to at least level 6 or 7. Ask them to go HEAVY stamina early on. Like 3 points of each 5 every time early.

I am still friggin blocked at work. ughhh. Gonna have to work at that issue today.

[superpunk]

I can't sign any CPU players. It doesn't matter what contract I offer them, it either gets rejected or nothing happens. I'm working on some stuff to build depth.

[dffl11]

3-0!!!

My WR is horrible now....I hope he is at least blocking well, cause he aint producing with catches.

[hairic]

Well, my LB's energy is going into the crapper - it's at 58. I need to be benched/given less plays.

4 tackles, 1 hurry, 1 tfl, 1 pd. Still leading the team in tackles, I think. At least the LBs are getting more tackles than the secondary this season, that's a good sign for the defense.

[Trendnet]

3-0!!!

My WR is horrible now....I hope he is at least blocking well, cause he aint producing with catches.

We havent been really throwing that much!

I did notice that you have no equipment for your head...

That'll give +2 in attributes if you equip.

Hopefully our inactive WR backups come back this season... I notice their contracts are up this season, and if they don't resign, that'll hurt us for depth in the playoff stretch.

Coach might be forced to sign some lower level guys!

[sacase]

I can't sign any CPU players. It doesn't matter what contract I offer them, it either gets rejected or nothing happens. I'm working on some stuff to build depth.

Superpunk - What do you need on your team. I got 300 Flex points laying around so I wouldn't mind making a backup for you.

My 3 guys did good today. My FS had 4 tkls 2 PD 1 INT and averaged 17 yards per return.

My linemen did good as well. 8 pancakes and 3 pancakes.

[superpunk]

We need a ROT.

We also need DEs and LBs.

If the Zone Boys don't need WRs...we do. :)

[hairic]

You could play Snoop Doggy Dogg Pooh at tackle, at least as a backup. I was trying to make him a tweener type since he was backing up both guards last season and was aiming to take a backup tackle spot too.

[sacase]

SuperPunk Shoot a contract to Impending Doom, he is an OT. User name is sacase.

[Trendnet]

Hopefully our few remaining inactives come back..

those redskins fans have been talking major crap, and I would like to see them lose...

even if it is just a MMORPG game.

[Wolfpack]

Another shut out and win!

Held them to -4 yrds rushing and a bunch of turnovers.

Our defense is nasty!!

[hairic]

7 points allowed in 4 games.

And my energy fell again. I'll be going into the next game at 87 energy.

Zone Defenders also won. 4 pancakes for me there.

[Wolfpack]

Kind of odd...all but one of the games in our division was a win by shut out. Hmm...

[sacase]

There are a lot of newer teams in the league, most of them are significantly behind some of the vet teams.

[rguido]

i would suggest using the new energy tactics and pull starters when we get a good lead in a game, just to reserve energy

[jterrell]

Zoneboys has openings for 2 WRs, 2 CB and 2 LBs.

They will be backups for now but get plenty of playing time.

Change both play and training settings to relaxed if you are falling under 60% energy each game.

We do not have much depth anywhere.

Because there are now 777777777777 teams it is very hard to add players:(

Worst case I'll buy points and build level 4 guys at a few positions.

[jterrell]

Gratz Zone Boys Defenders!!!!

Nice shut out. Running game kicked butt.

Until they fix the running game AI, the team who runs best will win.

[jterrell]

please set play intensity to relaxed and training intensity to relaxed unless we are playing one of the undefeated teams.

i have set us to play backups as suggested above when we get decent leads.

next game is against a 1-3 group, set to relaxed for playing style please.

we'll try to use this system to have guys at or near 100% for tougher games.

If we still need an WR, send me a PM. I will create one.

[jterrell]

LB offered.

We can definitely still use the other positions. CPU players are not even responding to offers well above minimum. And a level 4 human is better than level 8 cpu.

We have 2 WRs about to be deactivated until they return to active status, 1 CB in the same boat.

Defensive players tire the most quickly so depth there is always a concern.

wooby's DE has been traded at his request.

It is tough getting players so I'd ask all players to forego asking for trades or release until the season is over.

What we may want to do for next season is merge the two Zone teams. That's some sp and I can pursue if the player interest falls and we continue to battle a lack of depth.

I know many folks have guys on other teams. As they are close to free agency please let me know.

[jterrell]

I'll throw up a player...

build him to level 4 with custom equip and all that, what's more important... corner, WR, safety (I notice we only have 3)...

CB is probably most important. We have one guy who hasn't logged in for a month and he was our 3rd CB. I can give a new CB special teams work to help him level quickly.

I'd say go with level 1 and let's level you to 4 before doing the flex levelling.

[jterrell]

If we still need an WR, send me a PM. I will create one.

A wr would be great!
There was a guide linked somewhere here about re-rolling to get max stats. Not sure how easy it is to follow but might be worth a try.

[hairic]

They gave out 100 FP last night. So if anyone needs a level 1 lineman, lemme know.

[hairic]

Here's the post on rolling players.

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2052234&postcount=839

[Capt.Gut]

I will create a WR later today. I posted the re-rolling in this thread (around page 55).

[hairic]

I made Bubble Butt (http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=328747)

The goal with him is a tackle played as a blocking TE. Whoever wants him, make him inactive when not needed (not running a lot).

[Capt.Gut]

I made a WR with the name Circus Catch. I had a 86 roll on him. Waiting for an offer.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=330471

[Trendnet]

Level 1 CB Sky Warp created

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=333624

equiped with full custom equipment.

I'll probably sign him into the dleague until the offer comes!

[jterrell]

Offers made to all 3 guys.

If you sign quickly I'll get you in the rotation for today as we are big favorites.

The backups should play a lot today.

[jterrell]

as an additional note I am getting around to offering the lower paid guys higher contracts.

it will take a while to get through everyone and is not a personal preference thing just whatever crazy order i see needs offering.

since we are training on relaxed mostly money shouldn't be an issue for anyone but you can still pm me or post here if it becomes a major issue for your guy.

[Bleak Eyes]

What is a roll exactly?

[jterrell]

What is a roll exactly?

the term originated with dungeons and dragons where you actually rolled dice.

in this case it means when you create a new guy you get randomized new stats. there are better and worse "rolls". guys have learned you can "re-roll" and increase the starting numbers quite a bit.

if you simply dismiss the new guy and re-create one that is re-rolling. the post linked above explains it rather well.

[jterrell]

posted above by capt.gut....

thanks!!

signed my offer.

I took this from a board i also play for:

CREATING A PLAYER

Here is some more info. This was stolen of a board from another team I am on.

If/when the time comes that you want to start a new player, follow these guidelines:

DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT settle for the first player the computer sticks you with UNLESS if falls in line with the below information. Chances are the stats are not very good and by rerolling your player you can actually gain up to 2 Levels (9-10 points.

You can retire and reroll a player with no penalty other then a bit of time. Usually it takes 20-50 rolls to get a top end roll unless you are lucky enough to get it sooner.

If you dont know how to retire your player right after you make them let me know and I can post a quick 123 on how to do that.

Here is what I have found so far for the positions I have played with so far.

Just a quick explanation:
Stats - The stats that vary with each roll of a player...there may be a few other stats that vary a bit but they are usually very unimportant.

Ideal Range - The total number you come up with when you add all the Stats together.

Highest Roll - This is the highest roll I have come up with when doing this guide. Each position was rolled a min of 40-50 times and sometimes more.

Notes - Anything I found interesting.

DE:
Stats your looking at: Strength, Agility, Speed, Tackling
Ideal Range - 60-62
Highest Roll - 62
Notes - I did see a few 20's in the rolls for Physical Attributes and the highest I saw Tackling was 18

QB:
Stats: Strength, Stamina, Vision, Confidence, Throwing
Ideal Range - 69-71
Highest Roll - 71
Notes - Since QB adds in a 5th stat that varies I didnt see as high of numbers as I did for the DE but I still saw stats at 18 on occastion and Throwing around 15-16.

C:
Stats: Strength, Blocking, Speed
Ideal Range - 51-53
Highest Roll - 53
Notes - I actually kept a 52 roll instead of the 53 as I wanted a higher STR/BLK then speed. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.

LB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Stamina, Confidence, Vision, Tackling
Ideal Range - 79-81
Highest Roll - 81
Notes - Again you have a whole bunch of stats that vary so it limits how high they seem to go...I did see a few 18's but they were few and far between.

Guard:
Stats - Strength, Speed, Confidence, Blocking
Ideal Range - 63-65
Highest Roll - 65
Notes - Jumping is also variable but I again ignored it like I did my Center. Pretty similar to the Center and I'm assuming the Tackle. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.

OT:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Confidence, Vision, Blocking, Speed
Ideal Range - 84-87
Highest Roll - 87
Notes - Lots of stats to look at here...highest stat I saw was a 20 on Blocking which is the one I took at 84 total. Speed never goes above 10 or below 7.

Punter:
Stats - Confidence, Punting, Stamina
Ideal Range - 50-52
Highest Roll - 52
Notes - I actually got a 51 on my 2nd roll but kept going to see if that was really as good as it first looked....it was but I did nail a 52 later on. Highest I saw was a 25 on Punting...25 on Confidence and Stamina ranges from 7-10.

Kicker:
Stats - Confidence, Kicking, Stamina
Ideal Range - 50-52
Highest Roll - 52
Notes - Pretty much the same as the Punter. Stamina ranges from 7-10 and the highest I saw was Kicking at 25 and Confidence at 26.

TE:
Stats - Strength, Vision, Blocking, Catching
Ideal Range - 58-60
Highest Roll - 60
Notes - Depending on what type of TE you want to be you can look for stats that not only add up to a good number but also that more fit what you want to do. I was looking for high blocking and strength numbers ideally.

WR:
Stats - Agility, Speed, Jumping, Stamina, Vision, Catching
Ideal Range - 83-85
Highest Roll - 85
Notes - Ugh WR was horrid to get a good roll. You not only want a good roll but you most likely want to see the stats favor what type of receiver you want to be....speed or possession or get the roll and then just go with whatever way is easier. There has been some debate over Height and Weight and its been acknowledged that it does have a minor effect on things. This is one position I think you should at least look at it. The Jump Catch ability even states taller receivers can catch more high passes. If you want to go possession try for a tall receiver 6'2"+.

RB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Speed, Confidence, Vision, Carrying
Ideal Range - 76-78
Highest Roll - 78
Notes - Since both RB's and WR's have 6 stats that vary I figured I could get up to the 80+ range as well but that was a pipe dream and I think I rolled for 2+ hours to get the 78. Either go into this with a type of RB in mind or once you get a good roll let that guide you to either power or speed back.

FB:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Blocking, Carrying
Ideal Range - 60-62
Highest Roll - 62
Notes - Here you gotta also look at whether you are going to be a blocking FB or a rushing one. I kept a 61 roll over the 62 due to the face it had a very high carrying and didn't need it for the blocking one I wanted to make but would have been great for a rushing one.

DT:
Stats - Strength, Agility, Tackling
Ideal Range - 52-54
Highest Roll - 54
Notes - You can really get some nice stats out of this one...20, 18, 16 for me.

CB:
Stats - Agility, Stamina, Speed, Jumping, Vision, Catching
Ideal Range - 79-81
Highest Roll - 81
Notes - Usually a good spread of 13-16's works good here so you can build however you want without any one stat being really high unless you want that stat high anyway.

FS:
Stats - Stamina, Speed, Vision, Tackling, Catching
Ideal Range - 67-68
Highest Roll - 68
Notes - I got the 68 in the first 10 rolls and rolled forever thinking I could do better...landed alot of 67's but never even matched the 68 and gave up when it hit midnight.

SS:
Stats - Strength, Stamina, Speed, Vision, Tackling
Ideal Range - 67-68
Highest Roll - 68
Notes - Very similar to the FS..same # of stats and seems to be the same outcome just a few different stats.

[Capt.Gut]

That's two games we've been completely dismantled in the second half. Sucks.

[Trendnet]

ready to play special teams...

maybe even bump Trend Net off the kickoff coverage team? maybe?

[Trendnet]

Maybe he can even take the place of Trend Net on defense too!

Trend Net got some action at corner and made two tackles!

two way player!

[rguido]

does coach have a problem if i boost Tony D 3 lvls before the warpath game?

[hairic]

We're basically halfway to the playoffs, and you'll be better for the playoffs if you boost then (maybe by a whole level if the XP hits right).

They just lost a tough game, so they may be tired (at least their secondary, they were the leading tacklers and had to cover a lot). I'd save it.

[rguido]

unfortunately my off days are spent no training just to try to get back up into the 90's in energy... +36 helps but dont get any xp...

[superpunk]

That's two games we've been completely dismantled in the second half. Sucks.

We'll get there. Our depth is levelling up big time.

If we can get energy back up, I think we can win this next one, and have a chance for our next few.

I am optimistic! :D

[jterrell]

Another very solid win.

Level up at your discretion guys.

It is always a bit quicker to level lower levels so that's a consideration but adding stamina may mean getting more experience between games so its probably a wash.

We are identical to Warpath in the numbers. Both heavy rushing teams with great kick teams. I'll definitely focus on stopping their running game. Make sure we wrap up tackle. But we have a 1 game lead. We really would be well positioned if we win this one.

Our punter hasn't been around in a bit so I rolled a few dozen times and created a newbie to work into the mix. He got 25 punting starting off which is very good.

Yea Trend, I added you to the CB rotation because we have 2 of 4 inactive. The newbie CB has passed them and your WR.
I added all the newbies to special teams.

It sucks building depth because there werent enough cpu players to go around when they added a bazillion teams.

Guys feel free to use the buddy system and ask other guys to help manage your players if you'll be out of pocket for a bit. If you decide you do not want the hassle anymore please look for someone to take the guy over. Losing level 12 guys to inactivity is brutal.

This was something we set out to do together so let's be considerate and allow it to keep going.

SP: Last season we were like 4 games in before we ever got a win and still made the playoffs so just focus on building up that running game and you guys will be golden before you know it.

[jterrell]

Our next game will be a battle but the Architects in 2 games are winless so we'll be able to train intense after the warpath game and I'll move a lot of subs into starting roles for the Architects. The game after that is against a team that is 2-3 so we'll play the starters but hope for an early lead and some bench time for the starters.

We should be ok.

Wish I could figure out the passing AI but it seems inconsistent at best.

I am leaning to move our passing game to a lot more deep passing. Since we run so much no need to dink and dunk. Just run, run, run, then go deep. lol.

I'd love to see us average more than 5 yards per pass attempt.

Ya doing good coach!

[Muhast]

im very active but my energy sucks now b/c I didnt take my guys training off hard and played at hard and it killed me the last 3 games. Im trying.

Matt Owen still has 3 ints and is on pace to match 7 he had last year

Can you make the attributes of Matt Owen viewable for team members?

[jterrell]

WE ARE GOING TO PASS ON THE WARPATH.

I found a post that details how to get the passing game going and I am sure the Warpath will play us to run so we are going to pass big time.

I'll post the settings I found on another forum when I get a chance.

This is a guaranteed win. PM me with questions. I do not want to post the info here before the game. Thanks!!!!!!

[MissionCoach]

So you want Moose Blocker to focus on pass blocking more than run blocking...right?

[Muhast]

Can you make the attributes of Matt Owen viewable for team members?

yea ill do it now

[the kid 05]

yea ill do it now

do you think you can pm what ya did, since im zone defenders (zone boys 2) and can't view your attributes

[Capt.Gut]

He made them visible for his team members. We don't want to give other teams scouting info on our players, so viewable for all is not an option.

[jterrell]

I expect 4 TDs today passing.

Get your popcorm ready!!!

No one tell HoggLife we are passing!!

[the kid 05]

i figured as much but Zone boys never faces Zone defenders its why i asked for a pm :p: ;)

[hairic]

ZB lost due to turnovers. Namely the int return for TD.

Other than that, we outplayed them based on at least yards gained.

[Muhast]

yea sure whats ur name for that team?

A couple people from the boards on the team. I'm not sure that I'll be keeping the team when my 2 seasons is up. Signing a guy then 2 days later asking for a release/trade is testing my patience to say the least, though I understand people wanting to play with friends and what not. It may be transfered to another board member still have to discuss it.

Maybe we can merge the players from the board to one of your teams. Of course this is pretty far down the road.

[the kid 05]

yea sure whats ur name for that team?

Tim Barry (the fb) Tim Eddy (back up de) but my user name for glb.com is the same here Kid 05 and i have 2 dbs and i want them to be int machines, their names are Chevy Rider (fs) and Just TryIt (cb)

[superpunk]

He posted the stats for Matt Owen earlier in this thread.

I have reposted them in the defensive suggestions thread on the GLB forum

[hairic]

I'm not a big fan of the Matt Owen build. He could use more agility. Put in Madden terms, agility in GLB = acceleration and agility. Those speedster specials make up for it now, but it's cheaper skill points-wise to use them on agility.

[hairic]

Since they don't have TFL as a sortable or displayed stat (but record them on gamedays for some reason), I went thru and sorted them (this is ZB):

7 Ethan Gustafson LOLB
6 Randy White DT
4 Jay Ratman DT/NT
3 Mike Millman RDE
2 Killed Theisman ROLB
2 Stu Mayhem DE (no longer with team)
1 Hittin Machine LB
1 Vicious Hitz MLB
1 Zachary Zimmer SS
1 Darth Manblood NT
1 Tom Thump LDE
1 Ness Wildman LDE
1 Matt Owen LCB (if 1st CB is played on left side)The reason for my 7: My LB isn't always blocked when blitzing and I beat guys to the edge on tosses (vision).

[Wolfpack]

Thanks for the TFL update. I wish they'd track that + hurries + pass targeted. Defenses can use all the stat help to keep folks interested imho.

The Wichita Warriors, a team we play two games from now, are owned by a closet CZ member:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=3539
http://cowboyszone.com/forums/member.php?u=4633

We should try to recruit him. Maybe he'll give us a player. :lmao2:

I've already contacted him in-game just to attract him back to a good Cowboys forum (he seemed level headed on the GLB forums). So just in case, jterrell shouldn't post any gameplan stuff for the Wichita game. PM it to someone and have them post it on the team's board.

[Capt.Gut]

We need to have a mailing list. Can everybody from Zoneboys identify himself with his player or id from GLB?

Checked the stats for the last game against DC and I was wondering why Vicious Hitz only got 28 plays, when a backup level 5 LB, Hart Braker, got 41 snaps.

I'm always active, Hitz is a level 13.
Not trying to give you a hard time, just doesn't make sense to me.


Somebody suggested it might be an energy issue, I thought Hitz was at 100%...lowest would have been 90%....so I'm not sure if energy was the problem. Thanks.

[Capt.Gut]

I don'T know about that, MissionCoach. His energy level is at full. It seems that Hart breaker is our current starter at LOLB with no backup and you are the starter on the MLB spot with Hart Breaker as your back up. So he was forced to play all game. This doesn't make sense to me too.
Since jterrell made me his co-GM yesterday, I changed the depth chart on LOLB with Ethan Gustaffson as starter and Hart Breaker as Backup.

[Capt.Gut]

My players are OG Nate Weedman, OT Marc-Chris Colombus, TE Jack Novacheck and rookie sensation WR Circus Catch.

Since jterrell made me his co-GM yesterday, I changed the depth chart on LOLB with Ethan Gustaffson as starter and Hart Breaker as Backup.

I benched Ethan this game at his owners request:)

He wanted to recover some energy.

We have high level starters at each LB position and then 1 low level backup.
We have a level 8 backup but he has been inactive for a bit.

[Capt.Gut]

But why did he get only 28 plays despite being the starter?

[hairic]

It's probably due to special teams.

He was in on the opening kickoff, but the entire first drive, the MLB was Hart Breaker. Hart Breaker was in on the opening kickoff too, but he spent the least amount of effort on the play. Hitz was the 1st one down after breaking blocks and chased the return man, while Breaker was 5 yards slower than the DT (Hart barely moved). So my guess is, Hitz gassed himself playing special teams.

His first play from scrimmage was when the score was 14-0, after playing a kickoff and a punt.

[Capt.Gut]

where did our starting center go. Where did Tom Raffarty come from?

I think it's the same player. They just got a name change somehow?

This was the strangest game my LB has had.

It's his first game with no tackles and his first game with an INT (also 2 PD).

The LBs as a group only had 3 tackles.

Mark Stepnoski is now Tom Rafferty.

Copy & paste didnt work so here is the short version.

37-10 big win. Big day for the offense with 525 total yards. Defense held them to 269 yards on the day and alot of that came on a silly busted run.

4Tds in the air for the QBs.

Hey boss, what's up with taking your fastest guy (66 speed)off PR duties for Patrick crayton (20 speed)? LOL I had been bosting speed specifically for that :(

[Capt.Gut]

And Circus Catch had has many drops as Crayton. He was totally gassed. 74 plays. He is more of a possesion reciever. And he is still a rookie.

[Capt.Gut]

Nice gameplan Coach. I was skeptical at first, but the success is convincing.

[Capt.Gut]

I just don't get it why Vicious Hitz got only 25 play again. What is wrong with that?

[Capt.Gut]

Game balls to both QB's, Trendnet, and the whole Defense.

[Capt.Gut]

We are pretty gassed as a team. We play second place Wichita next. Do your homework with training and energy level. Also scouting infos about our next opponent are welcome. But remember, the owner (meadco) is member of this board too.

[Trendnet]

Hey boss, what's up with taking your fastest guy (66 speed)off PR duties for Patrick crayton (20 speed)? LOL I had been bosting speed specifically for that :(

I think you were taken out simply because it was an easy opponent, and it was a way to get the 4th corner some experience.

With the inactives we will be hurting for depth at WR and CB

[Trendnet]

[MissionCoach]

I just don't get it why Vicious Hitz got only 25 play again. What is wrong with that?

Seriously...my level 13 LB is gathering splinters in his arse while the backup gets more playing time.

Can somebody please figure this out before the next game?

[jterrell]

various:

I should have resolved your issue for now Hitz. I moved you to backup at MLB.
This is an issue where the LOLB gets taken off the field a lot it seems because of the other team going 3 WR.

sacase: Yea, you weren't demoted just rested because that team was 0-fer.

Next week you start and we need you at 100%.

Mike Millman asked for his realse. Ughh. Level 15 DE just wants to walk from a 6-1 team? ***rick. We are in this as an entire board. I would have never bought a team just to play as a single player. Please respect the season and only ask for releases or trades AFTER the season.

THANKS!

Regarding contracts:

There are a few player contracts up in the next week. Since money is quite useless for players at this point of the game other than training and equipment we will not give out big contract offers. We are saving the money for upgrading "CowboysZone Field at Tom Landry Park", so we will earn more money next season as a team.
If you are in need of money for training or equipment please feel free to pm jterrell or me. Contract will be renegotiated then.

[Capt.Gut]

Trendnet, Mikal Charney, Mark Adle and Matt Owen need to set their training focus today to none. Gaining max energy is more important than .31 skill points through intense training for them.

[Trendnet]

Trendnet, Mikal Charney, Mark Adle and Matt Owen need to set their training focus today to none. Gaining max energy is more important than .31 skill points through intense training for them.

That's not a problem.

But I'm exactly 16 XP away from level 16.

So... the question is... the the 3 extra energy points more important than the 5 extra SP and equipment upgrades?

That's why I decided to train, I figured I can up a level before the game...

And trust me, I haven't trained on intense since the offseason... Only relaxed.

I would've leveled up already, but I didn't train at for 4 real life days this season.

But I'll do what's best for the team.

Train... or no train?

[Capt.Gut]

In your specific situation: Train on relax. I can only see the energy level and wanted to remind everybody that it is very important to have a eye on the situation. You could be level 30 and have no use to the team when you are not on the field because you are gassed.

[Trendnet]

yep! relaxed it is.

Mike Millman asked for his realse. Ughh. Level 15 DE just wants to walk from a 6-1 team?

He probably wants to go to his own team.

Trade him for some depth... DE, WR, CB all of the above?

Releasing him not only hurts us depth wise, but chemistry as well.

He offered a trade, rescinded, offered a trade and rescinded.
Stated he would leave as a free agent then came back and asked for his release.

I have never refused anyone's asking for a release but at this point I am beyond being friendly.

I have pm'd him stating we would accept a trade for even a marginal DE.

We currently have 3 DEs on the roster. We need another for sure regardless.

But if we can get 2 or 3 more games out of the level 15 DE we have while playing winning teams that's what I'll do before I offer an unconditional release.

I have players on other teams. Including my QB who is higher ranked than anyone we have currently. I moved him for the benefit of others and would never ask the owner to just release him as he is that younger team's highest ranked player: level 15.

Put him up in the trading forum. That's what I've done with people who are malcontents. You can probably get a few active lower level human players for him, to build depth. Just make sure their contracts aren't expiring.

[Trendnet]

Speaking of releases...

looks like all our corners are back, feel free to release Sky Warp.

I'll sign him into the DLeague, where he can get experience, level up quicker and have him available to be called up again if the need arises.
