I think it's time...

I joined FOOL when Alan was still the commish. I know that's not half as long as FOOL has existed, but I do feel like a veteran. I've gone through a lot personally since joining this league. A lot of stuff (most significantly being a full time single dad) that just takes a ton of time, not leaving me a lot of time for personal hobbies. Basically, it's OOTP online leagues. Even with everything going on, I've stayed a part of FOOL for several reasons.

- How cool a fast-sim league is
- Loyalty. We've seen some dark days. Alan stepping down, the work it took Hyde to keep the leagues going. Conversions. The dissolution of FOOLX. My good friend Lynchy saying he didn't have time anymore.
- Hyde. You're completely awesome. Seriously. Not as a commish, but as a person too. The courage you show every day needs to be praised more often. You don't need to do this stuff. But you do.
- The community. Eddie. Teach. Kevin. Ashby. CHIEF!

Today, I've made a decision that I've been wrestling with for a long time, but finally did. It became a chore for me to export for FOOL tonight. Realizing that at 10pm Eastern, that because it was Tuesday and FA2/Draft tomorrow, I had to export and really didn't feel like it anymore, I can't continue on. This will be my last season in FOOL. I'll export for tonight to fill out my roster and get one more run, the season Wednesday, and hopefully the playoffs Thursday. But my priorities have finally gotten enough in my way to do this and I feel terrible

Thanks to everyone on this ride for making my days pass a little better watching the standings come up on my phone at work. Thanks to Hyde for a well-run league, and thanks to EVERYONE else here for 3 years of fantastic gaming.

Hyde. If you're going to convert to OOTP14 eventually, you can still PM me and I'll be more than happy to help.


Oh, and can you guys let me win one more time?

Awww....sorry to see you go.
Well done, personally, though. Being a great dad is so important, isn't it?

Peace to you, Sir!

Alfino, Sad to see you go! I think I'm nearing my 4 year anniversary soon of being in FOOL and I know so many of you! Sad to see you go bud! Family always comes first!

I love when my name gets brought up in these messages because you guys have been awesome and I'm glad you think of me as a part of what makes FOOL great! Of course, I HATE to see great players leave. We'll miss you!

Afino, it has been a real pleasure competing with you. I completely understand needing to call it quits. One of these days, I am sure it will happen to me. It's always so hard losing league mates I have played with for so long.

I certainly hope you won't be a stranger.
