4.1 Starts Monday, But With What Team?

Post by Minstrel »

The reason I don't just declare which team we'll be using is that I want to go with the teams people would be interested in. Obviously as these are designed as a test of EHM GM skill we are looking for a team that the AI seldom if ever makes the playoffs with; that is the main consideration.

People have decided they'd rather play Boston than Florida for next go but I'm going to give the option of a Western Conference team to do before proceeding to Boston if there would be more interest in going that route. There is, I think, one obvious choice and that is St. Louis. Wow do they need work... so if people want a big Challenge and with a Western Based team we can work alphabetically Blues to Bruins to Panthers :-D You have until monday; speak now or forever hold your peace. :-p However this one goes is how we go; it's up to you.

As previously decided by the majority this Challenge will begin Monday using Devils88's Post-trade Config file 1.1 and will be the first Challenge to allow people to start their teams with the unfaked NCAA database as an option 8-)

I'm begging the other TBLers to vote for the Blues. Don't make me sully my game by running a Boston franchise.

I was going to vote to play the Blues because I like how challenging that would be but munky changed my mind for me. After all of us Bruins fans had to play as the Canadiens last challenge, you're complaining about playing as the Bruins? Actually, you're begging. That's worse. So....


I vote Joe-less Bruins! :-D

A. Read the question before you post and you'll notice Columbus isn't even an option :roll: This isn't a suggest a team thread it's Bruins or St. Louis. Stay on topic.

B. You're not playing anyway so why do you care?

I just wish Boyes was as good in EHM as he is in real life! He just never seems to develop into anything for me.

I could have sworn that when I posted that it was asking for suggestions.

Well, the Blues are my vote. I'm just starting after the SCF are over 8-)
