I had just went through my google docs and looked up my old writings from my days in Peba. I saved every one of them. I just wanted to update you all and i know it has been a while. I am married now and have a baby boy who just turned 8 months today. I just bought an apartment here as well and plan to stay here the rest of my days lol, A long time I hope. I am still in China , and I run a training school here teaching English now. It is very fun. I miss the old days of trades and trying to hold of Kevin with his evil empire.
I was just sad that Ichiro Takanawa has not blossomed into what I had hoped. Maybe he can follow his father into coaching
I will check back when I can and see what everyone else is up to :)
Hey Mark!! Great to hear from you - and congrats on the little one!! It's so good to hear life is doing well across the Pacific. Hopefully we'll hear from you more - and maybe sneak you back into the fold!?!?!

Hey Mark! Good to hear from you and glad to know what's transpired since you left. I remember our epic trade and resulting trade schematic (which I can't find on the forums)(edit: found it here) which I believe Mike Dunn wrote. Mark was the trade king of the LRS.

I was telling the wife about the league and how fun it was. She never plays games and pretty much does not mind. Just as long as The baby is taken care of and she is happy. I loved making that trade, it was really hard but Beaver was a player I as after for a long time. The other trade that I remember was one l do not think I made but one of the players had a career ending injury just days after the trade.
I would love to come back and join the guys again as it was an amazing part of my life. I would have to think about how and why as I killed off my owner at one point(faked his death). I could always purchase OOTP18 on steam.
At least you had control in that death - the game killed me off a few seasons back, and who knew - I had some 'illegitimate' son somewhere... yeah, our Boy Wonder GM of a son wasn't too happy about that...

Probably a result of the LRS-PEBA merger. They can be found in game, though. Mitzutani is 35 and still playing, with Kure, part of the WIL.
I am good. In 4 days I will have been in China 2 years. it has gone by too fast. I think the brittleness had to do with the bad water at the time. Sadly my fake water crisis years ago in LRS kinda reflected the flint water crisis. I talked to the wife about PEBA/LRS, she was interested or a few seconds, and since OOTP on steam in China is on 112 rmb or 16 bucks I will purchase it today and install it. Now the big question what team are open and where can I find a list
