TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Why True Mega Managers Don't Have Stacks
Most managers keep a stack of team sheets. This list is why true mega managers don't
have such a stack.
Top ten reasons:
1) I already know which sheets have TC caliber warriors. If it isn't one of those, I
don't need it.
2) After rolling all my TC caliber warriors, my pipeline is fully stocked and ready to
go. Why do I need any second class junk?
3) What about when someone discovers a new TC caliber warrior? Simple. Add it to the
list and next time I get it, I'll use it. Not like I won't see it a couple times
or more in the next year. And is it a truly proven TC caliber warrior or a one
time fluke? I don't need to prove it out. Let others do the hard work.
4) Suppose I do want to venture out. If there wasn't a warrior that caught my eye the
first time, why would I expect it to catch my eye the second time?
5) Why would I want to keep a stack of useless paper? I throw away TC fights after
two years. I'm going to keep throw away warriors?
6) I'm not going to be playing in any side contests, arena contests, running any arena
only warriors, and certainly not going to waste my time with Crapmasters so no need
to roll teams for those.
7) If Lee implements a new prize that requires some special sheet, I'm certainly not
going to waste my time trying to find it in a huge stack. I'll let one of the
stupider mega-managers figure out which sheets are the best. THEN either get it
from one of them or in my next Face purchase.
8) If I can't get the sheet I want, it isn't like Lee is going to let my prize expire.
I spend lots of money, they are going to give me grace as long as I'm spending. So
I'll get it a year from now when nobody cares about that sheet anymore.
9) It isn't as if sheets really matter. I could stack all my excess prizes on a loser
setup and still TC with it.
10) Rainy Day? 1-480-967-7979 -- "Hi, Sandy. Please send me another stack of team
sheets. I am bored. Yes, Overnight again."
Manager's Rebuttal to Why True Mega Managers Don't Have Stacks
Assur got it wrong. He doesn't understand the way a "True Mega" thinks or just the
depths that we go through to gain that competitive edge. Here are theB real reasons.
1. Don't want to waste people's lives talking about your trash warriors' on Chatzy.
2. You have to submit them all so that you can have you can have that perfect bonus
for your 3rd Frankenstein potion.
3. The more warriors I have, the greater the odds that someone will accidentally
activate one of my warriors in DM 85, which gives you a greater chance of
accidentally seeing someone's TC-winning strategy!
4. What's the difference between a 13-9-10-11 warrior and a 21-21-10-11 warrior that
doesn't TC? Absolutely nothing. Both are losers.
5. One day RSI will make a change to the code and mediocre PS's will become the new
meta. Then you'll be ahead of the curve!
6. It really doesn't hurt that much to roll up anything as an Aimed Blow.
7. More warriors = more paper costs for RSI which leads to higher prices = slowly
squeezing the poor managers out of the game.
8. Higher number ID's = more writing for megas who spend more for you to write
strategies on. Those extra 30 seconds could make the difference or force TMM to
retire earlier due to tendonitis.
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, DWES EG? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Look out below! THE LOST COMPANY is on
the way down, falling to 25th from 12th with a 0-1-0! Ha ha ha ha! MEDAL OF HONOR
AA1 turned their 1-0-0 turn into a 6th place rank in the listings this turn. Any
better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see OTRA MUJER GUAPA win a fight and gain 25 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, GRASS beat NOT PARTICIPATING and NOT PARTICIPATING lost 10 points. You're
breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, DWES EG may be getting
bland, as ZARATHUSTRA stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and
bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. DWES
EG, I am losing what little hope I had in you. RESORT TERMS the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was YUCKY YELLOW. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, YORDY KAHL was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans. Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, YORDY KAHL was
challenged by LEMON, who was ranked 29 points below him. And sure, LEMON lost
alright, but gained 1 recognition for hers pains. And pains they may indeed be! I
guess I can give a little credit to SENTINEL of LITTLE THINGS for challenging up by
25 to PRIME. SENTINEL lost to get 118 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for DWES EG's
morgue. More variety. Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... BENH, a glorious 6-7-0 fighter,
has passed away. Gee, too bad 4-LETTER DOCTORS. Nipped in the bud, you might say,
was BEEF of 4-LETTER MEAT this turn. Course, I wouldn't say that, so much as have a
belly laugh. Heh heh. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in DWES EG to get a drink than The Warty Toad!
Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So
nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
