Although in this case you must admit that as a derivative of comrade the alternative spelling is actually more reasonable in a way...  Why should one still use the French spelling and the other be anglicized?  I like the consistency.

It's a break in my day from playing "World of Tanks", "Pennant Chase", "Simball", computer Chess, watching You Tube and The Three Stooges..really takes the pressure off and let's me relax.

I get a kick out of Boog's effervescent personality.

I think boogerlips is a loser

Drafting is the most enjoyable aspect for me, changing the parameters to see what names appear with each new tweak. I also enjoy studying the teams other players in my leagues have drafted. With my present team I'm going to read the box scores for each game, something I did infrequently when I had several teams in play at the same time. Less is more.

He probably thinks you are one too....

1. All Years Progressive
2. stats
3. drafts
4. the pit
5. progressives

I like the competition.

There is nothing better than a playoff series against a guy you have been playing against for seasons.

What I like most - besides winning - is drafting.  Sometimes the season seems almost anticlimactic.  I'm also impressed with the calibre of most people on this site - sure, there are some trolls (aren't there always) but there are a lot of people with whom I'd enjoy hoisting a few, I am sure.

What I miss most (not that you asked) are worthy forum adversaries - the psychotic Carocarn, the pretentious (with the ability to back it up) LemayRipper, the faux intellectual TomBarrister.  Ah, those were the days ...

I like camaraderie even better. 

You spell camaraderie and I spell comradery.

The OED does not recognize the alternate spelling, fwiw.

And that's another thing I love about this site - the off-the-wall directions discussions take sometimes.

This is why I like LIVE.  In the past year or so I've been busy and missed some mins, and it's cost me the playoffs on more than 1 100+ win team.  And when I did have time to play all the games for large numbers of teams the regular season could sometimes drag a bit.  All the same, LIVE playoffs are the greatest thing on the site.  Although I think the tournament in HD comes close...

I agree, my favorite part of WIS is playing play-off games live and watching the drama unfold.  Super fun.  Also, I get to call the shots and not Sparky.

I havent played live yet, I am going to check it out. How long does a game last?

A game on medium speed will run about 20 minutes.

I like keeping up with, and beating the crap out of, a couple of old friends in SLB.  They, in turn, beat the crap out of me in HD.

This is a cool thread.  I like many of the aforementioned aspects of Sim.  Drafting is the most fun.  It's easy to draft more teams than I can handle managing sometimes.  In addition, I really enjoy learning about players I've never heard of before.  Whenever I draft a team and take a player I've never heard of, I'll do a search on wikepedia and learn about that player.  Practically every player that ever existed is listed in wikepedia.  I also like researching the ballparks and learning interesting trivia about them.  Playing Sim is a great baseball history lesson.
