K, I wasn't going to go here but...
First off I did inquire about him coming on board with us.
I informed him I had a guy who already signed up for the position and that I would ask him was interested in stepping aside, but the position was his if he wanted it. (Loyalty)
He said he was already committed to another team but would still come over to us. (Red Flag/Fence Jumper)
He started demanding max salary and max signing bonus (Red Flag/Demanding) I informed him money didn't matter... Hell, all my managers have the right to salary negotiation. They could spend hours resigning their players with big bonuses. Money is worthless in Pee Wee. We left 2.5 million on the books this season!
He stated I will NOT punt and kick. (Red Flag/demanding) I said fine with me we don't punt much!
He was constantly using profanity (Red Flag/Rude) I was being positive and polite. He seemed like he would be an Ass on the forum. We don't need that. (Respect)
I informed him that it didn't seem like he was a fit for our organization. The End.
Summary: The guy seemed like a tool. A dot ball version of T.O. At the end of the day he had a good build, but kickers aren't all that important.... Well let me rephrase that. The difference between a few points on a kickers build are insignificant. We had to overcome 60 level deficits in the playoffs due to a premature eboostulation! I don't advise this. You will pay in the playoffs.
I rolled a 28 kick kicker RIGHT after he posted his initial thread in the forums
I already committed to a guy who OCs for a group of guys I've run with since starting on GLB though. Keep an eye out on me in case, he's suppose to get a team in the off-season. If anything changes, I'll be available
day 31 could be nerfed, because I rolled a really great guard on day 34. Took about 4 rolls. (I was only interested in STR though, not a perfect build of 8's)
Was alot quicker than the 2 I rolled on day 31 TBH.

interesting. i know it took a really long time to roll on day 31... i assume because so many ppl were rolling... they came in real slow. after that day, u can rack up 100s of rolls in seconds.
are you saying it was faster in time length or in number of rolls?
I can't find the Pee Wee Recruiting thread so I'll post this link here. I posted a thread that'll probably get moved there though by a mod per my requestion.
I'm looking for a Pee Wee Gold team that could use me.
Originally posted by Dtownokie Do you know anybody in Gold is the Question? Most owners are becoming wise to taking in agents they are familiar with and active. I have never seen you until you rolled this great Kicker. That is why I had to say "no" to your PM
Is that what we are supposed to do, PM every owner until you get one that’s heard of you? After the Squealers folded, I hoped that my marketplace personality alone would have landed me back in the league…I guess I’ll just have to earn my way back in now that Lehigh Valley has came back to Pee Wee. See you all again in 2 seasons.

FYI, Marketplace is almost worthless unless your at a mad scramble looking for players. And imo, the best owners usually are filled up before day 31, so they don't even need to recruit.

Network is the best. I put a lot of my mid level players on teams. I have CEQ on most all of them. As I market my players that someone needs, I market my Team. Answer PM's honestly and efficiently. Agents know you mean well and are active to set game plan and tactics. Most owners these days want players who's agent can afford CEQ and will to boost as necessary.
Get involved with other teams, see who is active in the forums. Build Network. Help each other, it normally comes back around ten fold to your team.
I never send a contract to someone I have not made a personal contact with, no matter how desperate you are to fill your team. In most cases you can cause more harm than good for your team by just going to someones homepage and randomly sending a contract,
Have 4-8 solid agents that can make a quality build and are willing to make several players for your team. Save some of the glamour positions for these guys. Offer a glamour position along with one that does not cost much flex as a package. Example: HB along with 1 Defense guy and a O line player to help his running back be successful. So they are more involved than a guy the might just build on OG and not be active in the forum., stay in communication with them and the guys that contribute to your team most, give them a start every now and again even if they are a little lower on the depth chart.
GLB is very much like @ the bar. You buy first round of brews and I will grab the next,.
