The half-year of GMing presser

(This post was last modified: 07-09-2020, 05:24 AM by Citizen of Adraa.)

Hello, my name is Citizen of Adraa and (thanks to my amazing tendency to forget stuff), it's exactly 6 months and a day that this announcement got posted and appointed me as the head GM of now Maine. And, considering I have never had a presser, I figured this is a good excuse as any to have one. So, whether you want to know something about me as a user, my player, or me as a GM, the comments are open.

I think that what caught me of guard the most was the sudden wall of all the little tasks GMs do and I had exactly 0 idea how or where, and with me being an idiot and thinking I bother people when I ask about something I don't know and trying to figure it out on my own, I am shocked that everything passed without a single issue, especially in the first season.

What allegations, I thought I was accused, judged guilty and jailed for that already.

If you could pick a player role to gain as a max earner next season, what would you pick?

Because I like tuna and corn, and when I saw the pizza as something I could order I couldn't help myself but try, and I did enjoy it enough. It's a very "I am in the mood for this" food, but I do enjoy it.

I think it's the reason why I was interested in the job in the first place - I really wanted to at least attempt to take on pretty much the biggest challenge the site offers, have my name right out there saying "GM CoA" and of course, taking over my first team was also a bit of a nostalgy thing of trying to bring glory to the team that lost so much of it, even though considering I have been in the front office of the team for quite a while at the point of getting the head GM job, that looked like a lost fight right from the get go.

Considering the team I have right now, I can really only logically choose between a wing or a center, so I am going to pick a wing. Centers unfortunately still have the faceoffs TPE dump, so a top earning wing is the peak forward performance you can get.

Maine has had a rough go of things lately, what has kept your spirits up in the down times? How has it effected (affected?) you and the team in general?

Who would you consider your biggest SMJHL rival to be? Are there any others close?

No, why?

I think guys on the last Hockey Talk have described it well - we adopted a very underdog mentality where losses are expected and wins are a delight, so it's hard to drop the morale when you expect nothing out of the team I guess.

I think it's likely Carolina, considering last season. We will see, next season we probably get divisions, so that answer might change pretty quickly, but we don't like you squids (:

Because it's a pretty short reign of terror, circumstances, and to be perfectly honest I personally believe that it is about the hardest it has ever been in the SMJHL to have a good team simply because everyone is so stupidly stacked that a team that could easily fight for playoffs few seasons back is now barely competetive, thanks to how full the league is of active players, ergo the expansion right? I think though that next season is when we should finally look on the up and up, just like we did towards the end of this season, and we should finally look truly competetive, may I say we might even get to .500? Time will tell.

He doesn't. He is German, he doesn't have time to smell.

I mean you are going to play your 4th season so...next season?

This is more JR question than me question to be fair.
