Hi all,
I'm going to step down from my post with the Badgers.
It's something I've considered for a while, as although I've been with PEBA for a number of years, I've been a pretty poor owner these last couple in-game seasons, as I am basically export only (and some OOTP/computer problems have made even getting regular exports in a challenge). I haven't had the desire like I used to in the past to be active on the forums, with writing, with trade talks, with league drafts and events, etc.
I held on before as PEBA had a number of openings and was really struggling to fill GM spots, so I figured having someone in the spot was better than nothing, even if my dedication levels were low. But now in talks with Reg before he stepped down, I'm told the league is in good shape in terms of owners, and with a switch to OOTP 18 coming soon I imagine the league would be much better served getting some new blood in Kalamazoo.
Ultimately I had hoped that once life cleared up and I had more free time that my passion for OOTP and PEBA would come back, but for whatever reason it just hasn't been there for a while.
Anyway, I want to thank you all for all the good times and efforts in making PEBA such a fantastic league over the years. I had a lot of fun here and I may come back in the future if I get the bug again, but for now I wish you all well and sign off!
Thanks,
Cole
