Things are fine. I'm really burnt out w/ UTBA-II right now. I can give a list of excuses including:
- I've been sick on-and-off since Christmas
- Just came off a hard week of night shift at work
- Too much snow shoveling from recent storm in Connecticut
- Work is going to be very demanding (lots of OT) for at least a few months
- Got sidetracked w/ another hobby
But overall, I just can't seem to devote the time to UTBA-II that I have in the past. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed running the league since Scot stepped away from it and am still someone who likes compiling useless stats. It has just become more difficult for me to set aside a couple of hours each night to the league. I really don't feel good about just dumping bout results out without maintaining all of the background stats. To me, it would be a disservice to everyone who has been involved.
I've been toying with restarting a Heavyweight universe that I scrapped before UTBA-II became such a time-consuming part of every day. Part of me really wants to get back to enjoying the game via a created universe that I can just deal with at my leisure and not have to post anything to the board. I also want to start clearing out over 2000 photos that I have yet to crop/resize and then post (another time-consuming project)
I don't want this to be an announcement that UTBA-II is over in its current form, but I do need to take a break from it. I will try to at least run the rest of the EOY Tournaments but cannot give any timeframe on their completion. A bout here or there may trickle out in the next few days, but my work schedule is going to eat up a lot of my free time (in fact, I have to go back in tonight for a couple of hours).
If anyone out there wants to give running the league a try, I will be more than happy to turn over all of the stats files and other stuff that I have in order to make a transition go smoothly.
