OOTP meets John Keats. Or something. Jestor tries to do what so many others have tried, in making his OOTP world bigger than life. And I think he succeeds. The Octopus League was something new and fresh on these boards. A whole new voice. Instead of "here is my lineup, watch me trade these losers for Albert Poo Holes! Ha! Poo Holes!", Jestor actually made his prose almost like poetry. He uses beautiful words and elegant descriptions in detailing the trials and tribulations of one, Tim Moungey. Tim is a troubled individual. The young leader of a small Racine squad in a minute 8 team league, he has his share of problems in the inaugural (and only, sadly) season of the Octopus League.

I really enjoyed the way this was written. It was definitely a change of pace. Kudos to Jestor for bringing some civility to this forum (insert ironical laughter here).
he does have a talent for prose that is unmatched on this board. Has to be an english major

The funny part is that on his league he's probably ranked #4 or #5 in most posts for storylines. Figure that out
