When a plan doesn't come together?

Written by nonnies at 18:39 26/3-2016

  The dreaded off day , a feature as old as OCM itself , a known feature for a very short period of time...
  
  A feature that is the downfall of one and the profit of another , a feature urging some managers to call it quits.. One such manager manages nonnies.
  
  After a few bad seasons , things looked promising when a plan was hatched to defeat this element of luck. Going over to the dark side worked well , but off late this to has started to become undone.
  
  Today all of the teams ttérs had an off day... Where to go from here?
  
  Maybe it's time to take a break , but for now it's on to the next one

  Thanks, for the encouragement @fighting.
  @ oasis, rigana, will see I have a few plans, but don't think I'll drop to div 11 soon

  Don't get discouraged by this, some day the force will come back to you and you will win again :).

  There's one recipe for that rigana: bottoms up

Rigana at 21:36 26/3-2016
  To the bottom and back again?

nonnies at 20:03 26/3-2016
