The Elite Sea Team [In the Season Seven Playoffs!]
« on: April 14, 2008, 06:14:00 pm »
Goal Line Blitz is an American Football MMORPG that is currently coming to the end of season 1, with the playoffs ending in just 6 days. Prior to the commencement of season 2, new leagues will be created and new teams will be available for purchase. I intend to buy a team and along with my trusty GM, Shep, we will hopefully recruit Eliters at every position and take this team to the promise land. If you'd like to join The Elite's team, go ahead and create a player, and make sure to list his name/position in this topic. I'll send out contract offers just as soon as I'm able to acquire a team.

I'll keep the following list updated with our recruited players. Numbers in parentheses represent the amount of players I'd like to recruit at any given position. I realize being a backup isn't a lot of fun, but depth is really key in this game, as most players don't have very good stamina early on, and aside from Quarterback, most backups will still get a decent amount of playing time. It'll likely be a 60/40 playing time split at most positions, or not much worse than that.

We're pretty full up, but if you don't mind playing some backup + special teams, I can get you time at backup FB or LB.

Roster members be sure to visit the Sea Team Forum!

QB (2) - Morterback The Quarterback (Mark), Patrick Johannessen (Neo)

OG (3-4) - Thillu Awesome (Illu), Supa Odin (Glen), Hank Huckleberry (Douglas), John Swaine (Horax)
C (1-2) - Kedamono Yokozuna (QB), Zedno Oakgrove (Fu)

DE (4) - Jim Barrett (Jimbo), Brian Scorecoff (PDO), Cara Banga (Cara), Nari the Machine (Nari), Tiag Omch (PYLemiere)

A little more about the game... Season 2 should kick off in less than 2 weeks. A game is scheduled every 48 hours, a replay of which is available to view as soon as the contest finishes simming. There are 32 teams in a league, 16 per conference. The top 8 teams in each conference make the playoffs, and under the current system (subject to change), the 2 "Superbowl" teams are promoted to a superior league in the following season. The bottom team in each conference is demoted. There are many more details, from attributes, to tactics, to contracts, to how the owner wants to price concessions. It's all accounted for, or will be soon, but we can deal with that later. If you're interested, create a player and I'll see you on the field.

Kicker please. The only decent fucking thing I could ever do when people had a football around during lunch at highschool was kick 30 yard FGs.

wait, what exactly do we have to do? Does this take time/effort? Do we need to be here every "game" or something?

Nay, you don't need to be present for the games. Once you've got your tactics set, they probably won't need to be changed often, and to keep up with training requires about 1 minute every other day if that's all the time you want to spend.

I don't remember how much money new players start with, but if possible, set your training intensity to Intense until the new season starts, and make sure to buy some Equipment to improve your attributes.

Not at all Goose

Youll quickly see that as you can get by spending only a couple of minutes every other day. The games themselves are a simulation - noone actually has to 'be there' for them

Destiny Hope Goose is basically the hottest kicker ever. He even gets to do it with that amazing, gorgeous girl with the same name.

Keep in mind that the starting positions aren't necessarily first come, first serve. I'll try to start whoever I think the best player is. Also, "backup" WRs and CBs still get a lot of playing time as there are sometimes as many as 5 on the field, and the backups will get special teams plays also. Hopefully somebody steps up and takes the starting HB job from Alec. And we need linebackers! (and linemen!)

As of now, we've got 1 starting LB spot, 1 starting OG spot, perhaps 1 starting HB spot (depends on Neo), and significant playing time for 2 more CBs, 1 WR, 1 TE. Also a good amount of playing time left for backups at pretty much any position other than QB. Most players in this game tire quickly and spend a lot of time resting, especially if playing on Hard intensity. Good depth will be crucial to our success!

I was recruited and made a FS named Hatchet Frehley. This was before I noticed shep's post saying he'd be another FS. Whoops! Take me or leave me.

Do I have to join the league or is there some way for you to find me? Also, how do I set my training intensity? I bought a bunch of shit and tried clicking on most of the links but couldn't find anything like that.

Youse - Don't worry about Shep; he made a CB instead. The training focus and intensity is right around the middle of your player's main page. It should be staring you right in the face.

Neo - About time you showed up!

When I send out contracts in a few days, I'll try to ensure that everybody has enough money for training/equipment. Until then, just be thrifty!

The team is intended primarily for Eliters. I'm not necessarily against others joining, but the starting roster looks like it's about full and I'd hate to take spots away from Eliters who have already signed up. However, we still need depth at many positions, and backups can get into the game quite a bit if they're interested in that.

Current most pressing needs:

Starting Offensive Guard
4th LB to serve as first backup at all 3 LB positions (probably will get as much playing time as the first 3)
4th WR and 4th CB (lots of playing time available for these positions, and will likely be gunners on special teams)
3rd DT to spell the starting 2
Backup OTs and OGs
2nd C
2nd SS
3rd HB (likely will be our 2nd stringer)

If you haven't used any boosts or custom equipment, try to retire/remake your player a few times for better stats (on the ones that matter for your position) to give you a bit of an edge.

For anyone whos reading this topic and isnt sure whether to join, be aware that you can know nothing about the nfl and still be a valuable member of the team.

This will be a lot of fun once it gets going and many of the people who dont sign up in time for whatever reason are almost certainly going to regret the missed opportunity.

If they're stubborn, maybe let them know that your contracts are set to run out after 10-15 days anyway and you have no intention of re-signing. There's no way you'll be there for them in the playoffs, even if they should make it.

Youse (and everyone else) - Thanks to a recent update in the engine, depth will be even more important in season 2, as players will now be extra sluggish when energy is low and also come out of games more tired than before. So if you want to get some other guys involved, Youse, I can promise a good amount of playing time right now at LB, CB, WR, OG, SS, C, DE, and OT, in roughly that order. I'm also very skeptical of our HB situation heading into the season. I'll probably give preference on the depth chart to Eliters if everything else is equal, but if the guys are willing to level up, they could probably buy a starting spot In any case, backups will get solid playing time every game and all the special teams snaps. Everybody has a role.

There is one potential problem right now, and though we're likely okay, it would be terrible if it actually does come into play. My latest payment for flex points, initiated on the 15th, does not clear until the 21st, the same day that new teams are supposed to become available. While I doubt that all 750 teams will be snatched up before I'm able to acquire one, it is a bit concerning. To make matters worse, I'll be travelling to Florida on the 22nd so I won't be around for much of the day. Hopefully I can get the team on the 21st as planned, send contracts out, appoint Shep as GM, etc, etc. There's actually a ton to do as the owner of a new team. *fingers crossed*
