I'd just like to thank everyone for such an awesome season. I've had a great time playing the GM Game these past three seasons, but I'm sad to announce that having achieved my life goal of leading the Vancouver Canucks all the way to the Stanley Cup, I will be stepping down from the GM Game. I'll be sticking around on Twitter and I'm happy to give advice to anyone who wants it.

Thanks for all the good times,
TonyStrecher - V1 Rangers, V2 Canucks, V3 Champions

To whoever may read this,

Happy Holidays. I'd like to give thanks to (mostly) everyone that's been in the GM Game , helping it make it the community it is today. When I first joned this site back in March of 2017, I never envisioned myself pouring hours daily into this site and this game created by <a href="/users/rangersandislesfan" target="_blank">@rangersandislesfan</a>. I thought this would be a site I would check a few times a week, and eventually lose interest in. Boy, was I wrong. Although, I've trolled you back in the V1 days and have said **** towards you whether you have known or not, I never gave you credit for coming up with the concept of an idea that has greatly evolved. After all, your original vision for the game was to create a place where fans of all teams would come together and interact creating a welcoming community. It has. A simple thought that has gone a long way, I give you props for that and I'm sorry for anything I have done wrong to you. It's one of two major regrets (minus certain trades of course) I have from this game.

The second regret I have is turning my back on <a href="/users/MrBooth" target="_blank">@MrBooth</a> during the early months of V2 which ended with him being banned from CF and us blocking each other for around half a year. I was a terrible friend for turning my back on you after you and I went through so much over the summer, especially while we were on BOG in V1 with all the hate coming our way. You were willing to stand up for us, even when you were the main target of abuse. Even though, you were being a bit of an ass before you left the game, I shouldn't have been so quick to turn on you without giving you a chance, and for that I'm sorry.

Lastly, unlike others, I've been fortunate and lucky enough to be surrounded with a lot of family and haven't suffered much at all. I've done somethings I regret that I regret, for my own gain rather than benefit for my party. I've taken everything for granted and I've been a lazy, spoiled brat. After reading <a href="/users/flamesfan419" target="_blank">@flamesfan419</a> letter, it's helped me put things into perspective more. If anyone needs to talk about anything really, DM me. I'll try my best to help out.

Thank you,
BoltsPoint21
Justin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Daryl</b></div><div>Hey guys, I've decided to leave the game. I have debated this with myself for some time now, and I feel as though I need to spend more time focussing on other areas of my life rather than here playing this game.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrBooth</b></div><div>I’d like to announce that I will be resigning from my position as GM of the Detroit Red Wings effective immediately.

A lot of thinking went into this, but I’ve decided that it’s for the better of my own sake if I leave the game. For the most part, v3 has been a fun ride. I’ve enjoyed the challenge of taking on a team like Detroit and making it somewhat formidable (at least, in my opinion).

As for the reason as to why I’m leaving, I’ll be frank. This game started off as a lot of fun and I definitely had fun trying to make Detroit a contender, but as of late that sense of enjoyment has almost disappeared. I no longer feel a part of the game, nor do I think that I’m necessarily wanted in this game. Whenever a new GM arrives, I’m the only one framed for being out there to fleece them. Whenever I’m mentioned, it’s nothing that’s positive of any sorts. I understand that I’m not perfect and have never been considering my history - however at the end of the day, no one is. Every single GM inquires on assets from new teams because they want to know if there’s a change in direction with the previous management group. Does that make me the one to warn others about? Most GMs have ludicrous offers especially to start off negotiations. I’ve done that a couple times as well. That doesn’t mean that I’m trying to fleece the league. The theory that I sweetheart talk every GM is nothing but the fabrication of the truth. I will also say this: at least I have a clue as to what I’m doing with my team; at least I don’t be the game’s recognized troll; at least I have the piece of integrity to not back out on deals multiple times; at least I don’t create other accounts to send harassing messages to other users, and at least I try, for the most part, to not be a pain to deal with in negotiations. Like it or not, those are some of the things that have been frustrating to me, and has led to my wanting out of the game - as simple as that.

Saying all that negative mumbo jumbo, thanks to <a href="/users/Zach" target="_blank">@Zach</a> for keeping my sanity in tact during certain times. Of all the people in this game, I’ve truly enjoyed getting to know you and I’m glad we interacted here. You never got to finish swapping rosters with Winnipeg, but you were a quality GM and still are a great friend.

<a href="/users/Turner33" target="_blank">@Turner33</a>, supplier of dad jokes and complimentary humour at all times; and <a href="/users/matt59" target="_blank">@matt59</a> my favourite Asian golfer; thank you guys for being around and defending this idiot at certain times in the past. Turner, you’ve definitely provided light in the tunnel when needed, and Matt is probably the nicest and most composed guy you’ll meet on the forums.

I’d like to thank <a href="/users/rangersandislesfan" target="_blank">@rangersandislesfan</a> for creating this mess. I’ve insulted you a lot through the first two versions of the game and it’s something I regret, but we’ve both changed since then and I’m glad you wasted so much time in my life [insert sarcastic eye roll here]

Shoutout to <a href="/users/TabooPenguo" target="_blank">@TabooPenguo</a> for bringing me back in v2 as his AGM; once again, the challenge of the Islanders was a fun one and I enjoyed working with you.

Big props to my other AGMs, <a href="/users/HotsamBatcho" target="_blank">@HotsamBatcho</a> and <a href="/users/wojme" target="_blank">@wojme</a>. You guys rock and I’ve really enjoyed working with you.

<a href="/users/Bo53Horvat" target="_blank">@Bo53Horvat</a>, <a href="/users/TonyStrecher" target="_blank">@TonyStrecher</a>, <a href="/users/Daryl" target="_blank">@Daryl</a>, <a href="/users/jmac490" target="_blank">@jmac490</a>, <a href="/users/NateElder12" target="_blank">@NateElder12</a>, <a href="/users/A_K" target="_blank">@A_K</a>, <a href="/users/BoltsPoint21" target="_blank">@BoltsPoint21</a>, <a href="/users/krakowitz" target="_blank">@krakowitz</a>, <a href="/users/phillyjabroni" target="_blank">@phillyjabroni</a>, @GronkNation and <a href="/users/alwaysnextyear" target="_blank">@alwaysnextyear</a>, you guys have also made the game fun for the most part. There may have been some times where animosity was definitely existent, but thank you guys for contributing to making this game into what it is. I don’t think it’ll be possible to forget about how much time I wasted with all of you!

If I didn’t mention you, it’s either because

1. I couldn’t tag the entire league as much as I would’ve liked to
2. I didn’t get to know/interact with you as much
3. You’re part of the reason I wish to have nothing to do with the game anymore

I’d also like to thank (or not) the mods for not IP banning me when they should’ve, and for continuing to make CapFriendly a great hockey resource.

I’ve decided that my own real life is more important than a game of which means absolutely nothing to anyone else. It’s not worth wasting my time on and I don’t want to have anything to do with it anymore.

I would be glad to help whoever the new GM is during their transition period and answer any question they may have.

I’ll still be around on Twitter (and maybe once in a while on that Discord voice chat, if it’s still a thing) and keeping in touch with some of you, but consider this my final goodbye from the GM Game.

Last word: just because I’m leaving doesn’t mean the bet is off. I fully expect Dylan to wire me 50 dollars at the end of the season when Virtanen finishes the season outscoring Puljujarvi.

Farewell,
Booth</div></div>

I take a 2 day CF break and this happens :(

Booth, gonna miss you being in the game buddy but we’ll still keep in touch on Twitter aplenty.

Here’s to the Canucks and Elias Petter-god’s Success (except vs my blue jackets) ??
