Excellent - thanks everyone! It is reassuring to know that people are still battling it out for cups and league positions. Back in the day, I remember that the best that I ever did was come runner-up for the Elite Cup (I still have my dark green SL tshirt), and I won a bunch of smaller cups. I always wanted a Champions Shield and a SL World Cup picture on my team history page, but the game was ridiculously competitive back then. Flamur (Kf Prishtina-Live) and his family were my most feared managers ("Oh ****!!!" I would say, whenever I was drawn against Flamur, ha), although I beat them a few times in cups. I see the Borg is still here, too - I can't remember if I ever beat him. I think I will venture back to Conference 7, which is where I was for many years with Menagerie.
SuperJ, I was never Globus, although I remember that a team called the Wizards came about whilst I had Menagerie. Pretty successful manager I think!
Ha, I just reminded myself of how I used to stay up until 2:30/45am (or I would set an alarm) ... checking and making sure that my opponent didn't log in to change their tactics before an important game. How I used to frantically panic whenever I spotted that they had logged in and completed their tactics, and then I would obsess over advanced tactics for ages. Sometimes I got it right... sometimes not. Ahhh, good times. I don't think I would do that now - I need my sleep too much!
How is SL2 doing these days? Are there more players on this version? I would guess that new players would sign up with SL2, especially if they are visiting the site for the first time.
