I would love to find something similar where the emphasis is on team building and the long haul and the games are left mostly to the AI. The beauty of the format was that seasons turned over very fast so even a patient rebuild would pay off (or not) in a month or so of real time.

YES!! I do remember and miss FOOL and FOOL X. I was active in both leagues. Once I joined and got into those leagues no other league ever felt the same. Such a great concept and Alan did an excellent job keeping everything well run and extremely active.


I actually just made a post yesterday about me returning to the game after a long hiatus and mentioned FOOL in an effort to see if anything similar exists. I absolutely loved those leagues and would love to be a part of something like that again, even if it means creating a new league to quench my thirst.
