[Ty Cobb]

I'll not offend you, davey. I just retired from PT. The reason has very little to do with PT and a lot to do with my other activities regarding the game.

PT takes an enormous time commitment, one that I can no longer give. I'll keep my teams active from year to year, but put very little time in...to be supportive of it. I play the core game. I make skyboxes. I am working on a couple of quickstart ideas. While I'm retired and in theory have unlimited time, I have a blue heeler and a kelpie who need me all day. In the evening, my wife is my great supporter and I enjoy every moment with her. I also strive to stay informed and pursue my other hobbies—gardening, digital art, and writing. Also, like many folks my age, health issues have arisen. These also take time. Something had to give, and it was PT. I feel an enormous sense of loss since I've been there since the beginning.

I'm truly liking the card designs this year. They're far and away the most visually pleasing to me. The other PT new features, like some before them, are simply going to take time to iron out. They're good ideas. I think some are not quite ready for prime time, but the principles are great.

I still read the PT forums, though not as often. Since I'm not participating, I'll make few comments. I spoke up on your post because I'm always glad to see new players want positivity. New blood is the future of the game.
