End of an era in Dallas
I’ve decided that it is best for me to turn this team over to a new GM. I have really enjoyed playing this game for many years; I have had the privilege of finishing dead last and winning it all, the entire ride has been a lot of fun. However, I find the game has lost a bit of luster for me. The excitement I should feel around the offseason is just not there, it feels more burdensome than anything. That sucks. This league has a group of amazing, active, and invested GMs and it is unfair to you all for me to stick around and not be equally invested.
This league doesn’t run without the stability and pragmatic leadership group that we have. Thank you to all the commissioners for your time and passion that enables this game to be so fun and provided me so much entertainment over the years.
Maybe I’ll be back down the road…if so, it will be when I can again match the high bar that the rest of this league brings. Until then, I wish you all the best and please don’t pillage my beloved Stars to quickly.
Thanks for the good times!
Rob

I was there a few years ago. Stepped away for a year and found that joy about it again ... hope that happens for you too!
take care, man. Been a pleasure, and hope to see you back at some point.

Demanding that there is at least one GM with a Norm reference in their user name isn't going to be an easy fill.
Turd may have fleeced me once or twice on trades. He's a good man.

Sorry to see you go. I know the feeling you describe but I also know the feeling you get once you step away for a bit. Take care and see you back in the league soon.

Honestly one of our best GMs in so many ways. Active member of the league, plays the game seriously but also understands its just for fun.
I hope you come back. The league is unquestionably better with more Turd.
