The Cliques

BBSBL finds itself home to several unique groups early in it's sim league life. With 28, soon to be 30, personalities we're all bound to be different, but most of us have something that bond us together - like the pages of George's (pick one) Victoria Secret magazine pages. These are the stories of those groups... of those cliques.


The LongBaller Clique



Members: breakthewalls, SNB914, drowe, stutterbomb, darell
Combined championships: 0
Combined playoff appearances: 5

This is an affable group of guys. It seems through all of the deals made that break is the leader and all the other guys fall into line behind him like baby geese behind their mother. Whatever break tells these guys in PMs, AIM, or Steam chat (lol'd while writing that) must be outstanding. He could probably sell a blind man a bicycle (lol where did I get that analogy from?). Because of all the raping break has done he has been the most successful member of this clique. He's made the playoffs in each season and has a couple of World Series appearances under his belt. Outside of that it's one wild card win for Shale.

Speaking of Shale, he seems to be the all-knowing member of this caravan. On numerous times he's offered to help each and everyone of us become better writers. How am I doing right now? He's also the stubborn burro. He refused to move his talent when it was at his most valuable and is now struggling to rebuild.

Drowe is the family fleshlight. Everyone gets a turn, just make sure to wash after use. Has this guy won a deal with anyone in this group? Has he made a trade with anyone outside of these guys? Dude needs to stop listening to his "mentors".

Stutter and Darell have endeared themselves to the league already. They're funny and entertaining. George is off the cuff. That YouTube video may have been the greatest thing I've seen in a sim league. Thankfully it stopped before he plowed his girl though. Great additions.


The BBS Clique



Members: Spencer, Play34, ashes, broph, steve
Combined championships: 3
Combined playoff appearances: 7

BBS used to be a great league. I remember Spence would sim in the morning, I'd go to class,, come back, and boom there would be like 10 pages of fun to read through. If you didn't know, Spencer is the father of BBS. He conceived it years ago and his anus has yet to recover. Here in BBSBL v3.0 he's been the most successful. He'll be going for the threepeat in 2000 and has made trades recently that may have made him the favorite.

Play is the league's resident guard dawg/no bullshit taker/troll of all trolls/African American. He'll stick up for you one minute and then throw you under the bus the next. But, underneath that rough exterior is a gooey, milk chocolatey middle that tasts oh so good. He's built one of the best rotations of all time and currently has the best record in the league. He'll finally compete for a World Series this year.

I'll group ashes and broph together. They were the two OOTP rookies with a ton of FBB experience. I had no doubts they would be able to pick it up, and pick it up they have. Ashes has a World Series ring and broph isn't far behind. Where they differ is the bitching. Ashes, a commissioner himself, keeps cool and collected. Broph on the other hand is one of the biggest bitches, errr I mean bitchers in the league. It's all fine at the end of the day because I love them both like step sons - not as much as a real son, but enough to where I won't lock them in a closet with only cheese to eat.

Last, but not least, Steve. Where would we be without him? Well we wouldn't be here I can tell you that. Steve is an all around great guy, but horrible tweeter. Like honestly Steve, do you think Keith Law gives a shit about you? Stop tweeting at him!

Game and gmgreggor get an honorable mention here for being horrible GMs. Thanks guys!


The NC Clique



Members: Erbes, nanz, aaron, Don Bascucci, jmase
Combined championships: 0
Combined playoff appearances: 3

It all started one summer day in Washington, DC. My roommate and best friend, Mark "Kellman" Kelley had invited some of his best friends down to our lovely GW campus for a weekend visit. At first I was hesitant. I wasn't sure if we would all get along, would they like me, could we call each other friends at the end of the weekend? So many questions, so little time.

The fateful day had finally arrived. I hardly remember shaking their hands, but I definitely remember the looks in their eyes - it was the look of passion and love. All of my fears melted away just like that. We made our way to the ESPN Zone to enjoy what would be a great evening. I was sandwiched between Nanz and James. I was also in heaven. We enjoyed great food, a great NCAA championship, and great friendship. I knew leaving the ESPN Zone meant the end of a great night, but I also knew it meant I had just made four new best friends. I was alright with that trade off.

How does the story end, you ask? Just as you can imagine. BF4L. That's best friends for life. I'll never forget that night and I wait with abated breath for the next with Aaron, the lackadaisical lawyer; Dan, the determined director; James, the casual cowboy; and Nanz, the Chilean churro.

These guys are all old and mean. Don't talk to them.
