But seriously, might want to expand your arena a tad. It's the moped version of NBBA arenas.
Good point...I'm still working through my budget...hopefully there will be a little cash left for an expansion.


Or, you could spend any extra cash on that breast enlargement your sister has been begging for ;)

In retrospect, getting one then and saving up to get the second one later didn't turn out to be a great idea.

Surely this is more suited to the Smack thread? What else is it good for? :D

Okay, Time for Let's Meet our Neighbor Part II :-) Now, try to stay awake for this one, this is some exciting stuff!! haha Anyway, this week I sat down with new arrival BloodyEagles....The Eagles join the league with with a little controversy...but what do you expect when a team blazes it's way from D5 to the NBBA in just 8 seasons? Always going to be critics wanting to bring a guy down with that kind of success! The Eagles wasted no time picking up their first NBBA win with a (59249762)116-103 win over another new NBBA team, Dinasaurs Bone (32035).

1. It took you just 8 seasons to reach the NBBA! That's quite an accomplishment...how are excited are you, and do you feel prepared to compete at this level?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I still have no idea what my plan is this season.

2. Have you developed any rivalries with any teams along the way?

No.

3. Is there any significance to your team name, how did you come up with it?

I had tried several names. My first choice was just Eagles.

4. Give us your stats....How old are you, are you married, any kids, etc? :-)

33 and single.

5. Where are you from?

Singapore. Lived in NYC and San Francisco before. Currently living in Seattle.

6. What is your favorite player that you trained?

Gianluca Maselli. (16633202)

7. What are your goals for this season?

Not sure, perhaps training.

8. What is your favorite NBA team?

SA Spurs.

9. Do you play any sports in real life?

Casual Basketball.

10. Have you ever wondered which bone Dinasaurs Bone is referring to?

Yes, THE bone

11. Your only American is a 34 year old $1147 scrub...Would you like the NBBA to put together a Debate on ESPN where you and Jfarb can debate each other with the topic being "Freedom is/isn't Free"?

You've got problems with 34 yo Americans?

12. What is your teams philosophy that has separated you from everyone else as you launched through the ranks so fast?

The philosophy of opening a bank and winning games. Shhh, don't tell anybody.

13. What's something interesting about you (in your real life) that nobody knows?

Nothing really.

14. With the exception of your fist season in the game in which you took over a team that was already out of the playoffs; you have made the playoffs every season you have played and been to the Finals in more than half of those seasons. Will your playoff streak continue this season?

Not a chance in hell.

15. Shikago is self proclaimed president of the BloodyEagles Fan Club....Would you care to say anything to him?

Yes. Please submit your seasonal club membership payment by this Friday.

And things will go downhill from here.

Okay, the 3rd Edition of meeting our new (but old) Neighbor takes us to a visit with Peluin, the Visionaries leader. Always fun to chat with, Peluin doesn't dissapoint as we get a chance to get to know him a little better :-)

1. After that last snoozefest interview, PLEASE say something funny, anything!!

I just got back from a lovely vacation in Cabo. Everything went super smooth, best trip of my life. Then at Customs on the way back in turned out my girlfriend had a warrant for her arrest. Wonder when I'll see her again?

2. What is that makes you a Visionary and the rest of us blind?

GM-Jelme drew me a picture with an eyeball on it. Or maybe he took a photo of his monthly salary.

3. This is your second time in the NBBA....Your first was pretty darn memorable as you won the National Cup Tournament in your first season here...what are your plans/goals this time around?

Well, I was considering punting cup and trying to get a home playoff game. Then I was considering punting EVERYTHING and buying 18yos. Right now I'm waffling and doing nothing, I mean, training shotblocking.

4. Okay give us the personal details...Where are you from, age, are you married, kids etc?

I'm single (how single?) / 29 / Los Angeles by way of New York -> Pittsburgh -> London. England sucks.

5. Do you ride a moped, own a tripod, fly an airplane or anything cool like that?

I wish!! I had a dream once where I had a plane that could land on the beach near work so I could avoid traffic on the 405. That was a sweet dream. No idea how I got home but it didn't matter.

6. You have been playing since season 7...I 'd imagine you have trained quite a few players over the seasons...who is your all-time favorite home grown player?

Havens (10591627) is the favorite. I think he only made U21 because Jelme played favorites. I love his non-fouling, so easy to train and I never had to curse him for screwing up a big game by going to the bench forever. He also ridiculously outplays his skills/salary somehow.

Lincoln (19238962) has a chance to usurp the title someday -- if I don't sell him off first. I assume these IS-guard builds will be out of style soon, I don't want to miss the bubble.

Honorable mention to Elwyn van Houten (8156874) who was a triple double machine and an absolutely ridiculous payday (bought for $2k, sold for $2M) after a few seasons of training.

Dishonorable mention to Ilmar Castell (2371560) whom I have "trained" into one of the worst players in the game. A few more appearances and he can rightfully join my hall of fame.

7. Who has been your biggest rival in BB?

I considered BB-Charles (22793) a rival, for awhile in II.3 it was just us on chat. He beat me one game where I missed a 3 pointer Buzzer Beater with my best shooter on the bench and told me he would look into the strange substitutions that happened on that last play. He never got back to me about it.

jfarb (28800) is a bit of a rival by proxy because when I finally beat Charles in playoffs, jfarb beat me in semis and made NBBA. At the time I think we were competing for fastest or 2nd fastest D5->NBBA or something?

I also have a secret rival: I'm 99% sure I went to elementary+middle+high school with this guy (23212). We were good friends for awhile but I'm terrible at keeping in touch. I keep meaning to say hi and then forgetting. I remember playing NCAA Final Four at his house when we were little and just doing sim mode so it's really no surprise that we're both here.
