As some may know I'm coaching a quite almost a bit legendary Halfling team. However, even if it is great fun coaching a halfling team the slump it has gone into lately is irrecoverable unless...
I get rid of one or two trees.
As the team is nearing the milestone that is 250 games maybe the team could take a new direction and become rebuilt.
However I'm very attached two trees, even though they are only a bunch of pixels and numbers.
So some input would be nice. As well as someone in my TR/TS range wishing to play in my 250th game. I myself have been thinking about kicking Moist Bark out and keeping Grenar for the time being. But after game 250. Not to forget I have to conjure up a fluffy newspost for his retirement 8^) |

It would be a shame to retire the team, they have a great and long history.
I vote retire Bark, and see how it goes.
good luck. |

Wow...I have a team in your TR range, and another in your TS range, but nary a team who fits both! lol Nevertheless, I volunteer my near-rookie CD's as willing to play ya. *shrugs* Decide if it's fair or not, but you never know unless you ask, ya know? I've seen stranger matchups... |

Retire one or both Trees, play some rookie or young needing recovery teams, and get those guys back on track
It's hard to get a team to 100 games, so with that much history it's too much to let go |

You should remove them to U. In R I assume you will be hunted down by a million of cherrypickers. Move to U, retire such a team is a crime ;p |

You've got to keep them for one more game, I think. Just because it is a nice, big, round number. After a milestone like that, then you can worry about the effectiveness and efficiency of the team. For now, they're playing for honor.
... Or maybe they're just playing for lunch. Same thing, with 'flings. |

Unranked. They're FAR too old to just retire. As much time as you've put into playing, managing, and writing bios....they deserve better. |

Dont go to (U) if you do decide they cant do ranked anymore put them out of their misery (id recommend fighting to keep them though)
Going to (U) is like the Premiership Footballers getting old and moving to Conference Teams to be player managers , Its just Sad  |

Here's what I think I'll do for now. I'm probably going to play my 250th game with the team as it is (and any good offers, preferably from teams with around four players. I'd like to win my 250th game then retire Bark and see how it goes. If I still won't get any money from anywhere and my players keep dying I'll probably retire the other tree as well.
My thought then is to continue playing the team without any treemen whatsoever. Since I've had my fun now with the trees and kinda shown that my flings can be competitive with trees... How about without? Or do I really have to resort to relentless fouling then? 8^) |

The only reason they should be retired is death!
A tree is for life, not just for breakfast. |

A fling team without trees, without fouls = without players. I don't think you'd need to throw 16 fouls in a game, but you would definitely have to put the boot to the other team's stars the few times you actually do get them to the ground. (Of course, some coaches do that all the time anyway regardless their team, but that's a different thread...)
But if you're going to do it that way, you really should retire both trees at the same time, one tree alone will not be nearly as effective and will keep your TR too high, limiting cash inflow and teams you could possibly face. |
