A day in the life of Barry O’Bama, co-GM of Kansas City Coyotes.
After a several hour long discussion about the state of the DSFL over the weekend, it’s nice to wake up refreshed and ready for the day. A clean slate, ready to focus on managing the team to the best of my ability.
But first let me write 100 words of this 600 word essay required for me to get this ultimus week credit. This is obviously going to aid the community more than running the team.
Right, with that out of the way, it’s the final game of the regular season tonight, a day earlier in the week than normal, which I didn’t prepare for because yesterday I was selfish enough to watch the Super Bowl. No harm done, just an hour or so of simming, talking tactics with my war room, and then inevitably planning further ahead for our playoff game that we somehow managed to get to with a team of rookies.
But first let me write the next 100 words of this 600 word essay required for me to get this ultimus week credit. This is obviously going to aid the community more than simming games and trying to get wins for my players..
Then later on I need to touch base with several of my players and their ISFL GMs to get an idea of who we need to draft in the off season. And then, of course, we’re gonna weigh that against the incoming rookies, both recreates and newbies. Would be nice to know if we’re going to lose our star running back, and need to replace him. Ah well, never mind, we’ll add it to the list of “maybes”.
But first let me write ANOTHER 100 words of this 600 word essay required for me to get this ultimus week credit. This is obviously going to aid the community more than scouting new players and figuring out who’s going where.
The scouting process is a tough one. It’s hard on the rookies who have to answer the same questions from 8 DSFL teams or up to 14 ISFL teams, depending on the draft they’re entering. But it’s also hard on the GMs who have to scout these people. Gets particularly hard when you’re trying to circumvent players who will only play for Team X, or new users who have already left. Finding those diamonds in the rough who show up brand new and contribute to the league is a strenuous battle, but in the end it’s certainly rewarding once it pays off.
We’ll get to that once we type this next 100 words in this 600 word essay that is completely a necessary use of our time.
It’s been about 4 months since I became a GM, covering about one and a half seasons, and an extra long off-season in the middle of all that. It’s definitely been a slog, but you gotta feel good about seeing the progress being made after taking over a struggling team with only 3 active players. So while it’s easy to bitch about this stuff, it’s often worth it in the end when you can see a physical improvement in the league in the shape of new users sticking around with your team.
But let’s not dwell on that, let’s write another 100 words so we can get closer to our 600 word target, because why would someone who does this much need a UW pass?
Here’s to another great year gone, and another coming next. Finally, once I finish 2.5 seasons of running a team, I will have done enough to not have to write up these 600 words. Amen.
