Final Fantasy Football X-3, The Introduction

Message from the Commish (Week 0):

Another season of Glory-stricken sporte americana virtuales is upon us! In an hour, at 5pm PST, we will trip the light fantastic and draft a few hundred big boys to start our season. If you saw the previous post, then you'll know how our league plays with some special rules that have dramatically impacted how our coaches have drafted. A war over the limited Kickers occurred, and Coach ParagraphMan's passionate plea to not draft any 49ers before he drafted most of the team.

THE FIGHT FOR GLORY:

We are looking down the barrel of a fourteen week series of regular season games. The torture tunnel will lead to two eight-team tournament brackets leading to the title of Most Glorious and Most Glorious Jr. Last season, our Super Bowl was Chorby's Boys vs our first-year Glorious Jr champion Mitch please. This rivalry is now at its peak as hdcantona, despite his perfect season, crashed right at the finish line. Meanwhile, the crowd-favorite yaoi aficianados overcame a brutal season as the first defending Glorious Champions – they fought all the way to 4th by thorough faith in Lamar before being fed into the woodchipper of Mitch please. And then there was incoming rookie CatgirlCoven and The Owl Lady team of avian babes who climbed the mountain through meatball quarterbacks and still shot up all the ranks to take 3rd place. Meanwhile within the underleague, Coach ParagraphMan fell just short of a shred of glory due to the meteoric rise of our premiere season's last place team: the Seattle NIMBY Libs. Those annoying school board members uncomfortably cited Durante's entire street through pure Derrick Henry heroics to earn the second Most Glorious Jr. award! On the backs of last season's incredible finale full of twists and upsets and bruises, we're on track to a beautiful third season of Final Fantasy Football X-3. What do we have in store for the league's future?

INVASION & DIVISION:

From two sides, the Commish has been encroached upon. This glut of glory cannot rest solely on any one Commissioner without consequence. So the Football Gods have spoken, so your Commish must oblige. Off the Southern Flank, Pokey appears to have used arcane arts from inside the Mirror Elysium to summon an entire GOODSTREAMS Ltd faction: Pseud0, V1ony, Soirblue, Kaidaiju, and Russ have all entered the fray! Will new blood keep the gods appeased? On our Western Flank, the commissioner's success has summoned his father and brother who are seasoned vets of the virtuales. As the combo commissioner and champion, I've chosen to respect the Gods and take this challenge head on. To defend the honor of this league, I have divided our realm into Divisions. Four quadrants to build tighter comradery and rivalry, and especially one to contain The Beasts. The previous champions, those who bask in glory, make up The West Parliament. The hungry runners up make up The North Convocation. Those with desire in their hearts and chaos in their souls as they crave for glory make up The West Flamboyance. And finally – sponsored by GoodStreams tm where you can find all your good stream needs every day with the tightest stream family in the world. They've never had drama and they never will, so invest in GoodStreams futures today. (Check's in the mail, Scott) – these bold glorychasers make up The South Congress. As flocks we fight stronger and while my cheeks are clapped in the Beast division, the football gods will be pleased by this heightened level of comradery (and I can dodge those GoodStreams freaks - win-win-win.)

MEET THE TEAMS:

The cost of this division has resulted in an invasion of bots within our world. As long as I find vessel avatars to take over each bot by the end of the season we will not risk any Bots to see Glory. If a Bot sees Glory then that will be the ultimate failure of my GMing and could result in my immediate termination as your commissioner.

Without further ado: meet your teams for our MOST GLORIOUS season yet of Final Fantasy Football X-3!

West Parliament of Basking

North Convocation of Seeking

East Flamboyance Of Craving

South Congress of Chasing
