I can confirm that.

If I remember correctly, the outsider won at least one of those.. maybe both.

It appear I'm going down to Diamond this week boys.... I'm in a division chock full of whales (Stone, Early Era, and ... those other guys that beat the snot out of me). Plus I'm not winning many other games. Also seems that I'm on pace to earn around 2k PP this year so maybe dipping back down to Diamond wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen to me.

Not both, I think Halo2012 or something like that got beat the second year. Not sure he was a super whale but way over our voluntary cap.

I think we lost against any team that brought Perfect Pedro to the playoffs. Most other teams got some great competition from our contact hitters across our teams.
It was a great league to learn about the top gold and silver players in the universe.

Hopefully the OL league can bring that many teams together as the league continues to grow.

Now we only need to ask Markus and team to allow us to file export the friends list and then allow others to import that list (instead of manually searching and adding teams).

The Monuments have recovered a bit, winning an amazing 10 games each of the past two months. If this trend continues, it seems we may avoid relegation. Stay tuned for further updates.

Random fact: the two years my team has gotten massacred in Perfect, Yelich has been my token All-Star rep (both times over my perfect Trout). I'm not saying it means anything but it's interesting to me!

Mammoth_Mayhem · 06-14-2019, 11:14 AM

I've been in perfect the last few seasons and haven't had any luck. Even worse, my starting lineup lost their flair and I've recently had more luck playing their replacements. Feel free to add me, as I should be down in diamond next week!

OMGPuppies · 06-14-2019, 02:28 PM

so far so good. We are all out of relegation so far.

traveller79 · 06-14-2019, 02:59 PM

I'd like to be considered on the traveller79 and jdb79 teams. Both ftp, with the former in perfect and the latter likely to be promoted once they stop throwing 2-0 DS leads.

allenciox · 06-14-2019, 04:07 PM

Mammoth_mayhem, can you give the following information:

What is your owner name for your team?
Is it FTP (or near FTP) --- this is a requirement .

allenciox · 06-14-2019, 07:36 PM

traveller79, welcome aboard!

atabakin · 06-14-2019, 08:11 PM

So my Tidewater Tides (atabakin3) are FTP and packs only, but they have had some pretty incredible pack luck including two perfect DiMaggios. As such they're excellent for packs only, but not so hot for perfect considering upgrades are going to be exceedingly rare from here on out since I was able to cash out one of the DiMaggios. Can I join up?

allenciox · 06-14-2019, 08:24 PM

absolutely, atabakin... no need to apologize for having good pack luck!

QuantaCondor · 06-15-2019, 02:27 PM

I think adding a -CTP (cheap to play? since our league isn't strictly F2P? or maybe -NFTP for near free to play?) tag to our teams might be useful, especially since we have so many teams now. I want to be able to easily tell who's in the lead, etc. Plus this naming convention allows the -OL tags to stick around also.

I am competing against p2p people? Sigh. Hah

Yes, my team is near FTP (less than $50 spent).

My owner name is Mammoth_Mayhem

How do you define NFTP?

As said by others, I think less than $50 is a pretty good cutoff point. I didn't found the league so I don't have a perfect sense of the vision, but I think the intent was to get all the people who are either purely FTP or so close to FTP such that it's basically indistinguishable at the Perfect level. But anything more than $50 (which is 75k PP, which is a lot already) is probably too much.

Can you post an updated owner list tonight or tomorrow morning to make sure we're all on the same page? Thanks!
