Oops, put in one of my auto-pilot teams by mistake. I use them to pull packs with so I'm not tempted to with Port Ruppert. I've only failed once, when the AH was really a waste of time and 5K burned a hole in my wallet. I got a historical silver, a couple of low bronze and irons, and a low 80 live gold for my folly.
I've attached the logos of the teams so you can wave hi if they show up in your league. All I do with them is cash in their points and rip packs, let the AI set the roster, and pop them into tourneys. Only takes twenty minute a couple of time a day. Not sure when I'll have the time to get them ready for OL, but one of them, the Freedonia Liberation Front, is gonna be pretty good. They've had the kind of pack luck I've read about and only half-believed. I may detail it sometime. It kind of defines dumb luck. They'll be promoted to iron after losing in the semis.
They're gonna be pretty loaded when they start. By Thursday, I almost was gonna switch them out for Port Ruppert, but it didn't feel right to have the only name left from day one of OL not to be there if it was compliant. Besides I put my effort into getting the Mundys ready. As I wrote above, Freedonia was just dumb luck, and believe me, I was dumb and dumber in luck with that team.
The other, the Memphis Chicos, is about what you'd expect and is gonna have a tough road. They've had average pack luck and mediocre results in tourneys. They did end up at .500 in R143 and lost in the wild card, so will be moving up to stone. Port Ruppert, Palolo, and Hartford were also in R143, and will remain rookies after finishing 20th, 29th, and 30th, respectively. Memphis played Port Ruppert and and Palolo, going 17 and 9. Hartford did not play them.
The Chicos may be a good while arriving in OL. The Liberation Front has been so lucky, I will be trying hard to get them in soon.
The theme of the names should be obvious from the logos, but you get bonus points for correct pronunciation of one name and extra bonus points for the name of the movie associated with the other.
