  1. I am saddened that I did indeed have to close ICE (kind of maybe). I really loved working with the managers there and building a great future for many young fighters, but for whatever reason, I just couldn't get enough young fighters to come on board and take contracts. I am pretty sure I was offering the biggest ones to be had at that level, but fighters were taking less to fight at other 378K+ orgs. I was doing my best to create even, fair matches and work with the managers, but who knows?

    I am not certain that I am going to close ICE. I made a deal and I think it was best for the fighters on my rooster and for Caged Dragons. I think Cage Dragons has the potential to be a great, long-term org.

    I am considering transitioning ICE to a veterans org, for the guys with no hype and pop that the others orgs don't want. I'll give out bigger contracts and try and create an environment where talented fighters that got off to a bad start, or are maybe late bloomers can come and get a second chance and rebuild their careers to go on to the bigger shows.

    I really do appreciate the great managers that I got the chance to work with in ICE's short run as an org for new fighters.

    Thanks to you all,

  2. Thank you, Sensei. It still seems like yesterday when Sal and I were watching UFC's and laughing at Georgie on Ancient Aliens. With Sal's death and my father's just over a month later, I fell into a pretty big depression. If it wasn't for my children and wife, I probably would have just turtled up and hid indefinitely. Steel Penn was also a great friend through it all and has helped me keep his memorial event going for 2 years now.

  3. Ahh, so you would be interested in knowing that one of my best friends died on June 15th of 2012. We were both mma fans and I convinced him to play this game. His manager's name was Johnny Brickhead. My father and I were also mma fans. He passed on Aug. 26th of 2012. The next day I started the semester for which I posted the 'report card' while my mother, now a widow after 50 years, was trying to find a reason to keep on living. Which, I hope to god she has found in our son born on May 23, 2012.

     

    When all this was/is happening, aside from my immediate family and friends, Steel Penn was one of the few people who gave a shit and talked with me about it.

    I was a machinist for many years after being a parachute rigger in the army. Went back to get an engineering degree when I was laid off.

     

    So much hate and ignorant vitriol for what is suppose to be a game that we all enjoy.

  5. I still want to know why you, Gable, are privledged with information that should ony be available to mods and game employees. Are you employed to 'ferret out' multis?

     

    I personally think the proof is lacking. I have been playing almost a year and a half and I think this is only my 3rd post, but if Steel Penn contacts me I usually respond within minutes.

     

    Steel Penn is one o the few people that I have had dependable, consistent, trustworthy interactions with over the last year. My enjoyment in this game would be greatly diminished without his presence. I don't understand why he is always being attacked. He must really threaten a bunch of you.
