If we assume each game on fast is roughly 10 minutes long, habsfan1 is at roughly 296 DAYS worth of LIVE play in his career.  Given that LIVE has been around a little less than a decade, that implies that habs has spent close to 10% of his life playing this game.  Almost certainly over 10% of waking hours.  That's just impressive.  Congrats to habs and keep it up - you'll hit a year soon enough!

Of course, you did used to be able to play multiple games at once, but I don't remember ever seeing habs do that...  That's why I didn't bother typing it into a calculator for spoorts, though...

...leaving this, so that percentage will be going down.  Good luck!

That's a shame habs, you're always a good guy to play with.  Good luck with everything and hopefully we'll see you again someday.

Well, you didn't really sell this to me.

You can get burned out on this game for sure. I have considered leaving this too, but the fun of the competition and my love of baseball have kept me here.
Very much missed are the times when a new live league started and 6 or 8 or 10 of the owners were all on at once and you played 3 with one, played 3 with another while they did the same.
Also the big turnover in progressive leagues has become a burden to those of us who run them. It is a lot of work running a draft and when season after season you spend time trying to recruit, posting available rosters and bugging people to join it takes some of the fun away from playing.

habsfan1 will be missed.

One of the cool things about this experience here has been some of the "friendships" that have developed while playing the great game of sim baseball. Good conversations and small triumphs and little tragedies  have been exchanged, making this fake baseball thing a little more real.

Not the real thing by any means but to guys like me who think they could run the Tigers as good as Jim Leyland this is a good escape from real life 10 minutes at a time.

hit the nail on the head...and Habs you cant leave...thats like Ric Flair leaving wrestling...you are the icon and wooooooooooooooooo you aint ready to retire

This was fun, when it wasn't a chore.  I would play in leagues with 40-60 game mins, and have a ton of fun chatting with many of you around here.  Then, it became a chore.  40 game min leagues turned into guilt-ridden fests that you needed to be playing every game live only to find you were 20 games behind before you even got your 5th live game in...progressive leagues where some of us had to take an extra crappy team (or 3) to keep it afloat, and then be lectured about how to run a draft.  Gone conversations replaced by whining that a team loses one game of five against my team.  Nah, the fun left this place awhile ago.

I agree szczu, the only thing I'll miss here were the friendships I made.  But seems like most of the games I was experiencing in the past 6 months were the "we need to get these in" games, where I was usually dealing with a crappy dumped 100 loss progressive team.  Those started getting in the way of leagues where I really needed games in.
There was a time where some of us would get into long conversations about things only to realize both our pitchers were at 0% over the past inning.   I would consider playing here again with a number of you, but instead of a 40 min. rule, would be more interested in a 60 max. rule. I don't want to be pulled in to play meaningless games just for the sake of getting it in...especially when some feel the need play 100+ games in these low min. leagues.  But, I do think my time has come to leave here.  Finishing up a few final commitments, then heading off.

now lets calculate spoorts time on live
