Stains was a decent player, and one of the highest earners in his class until inactivity. I don't think he ever accomplished much unfortunately.<br />

Gonna give it another go, cheers ssl<br />

			<description><![CDATA[After a hiatus of sorts in which I went through significant life changes, including meeting, getting engaged to, and marrying my wife, then moving to a new place, I have made the decision to retire Pascal and create a new player. I have done both already in the portal, don't worry! Creating Romana was one of the most fun things I've done in sim leagues, and FM is such an enjoyable engine that it's the only sim league I watched at work for a long time. I lost my drive for watching sim leagues in general when we got serious, but now that I live with her and we have different work schedules I'm excited to begin to watch some more games and get back into the league as a whole! <br />
<br />
I do think that Pascal has a shot at the hall, and more out of curiosity for myself for the last few seasons than anything, I'll list his career accomplishments below (pending this final season of course, and also my ability to do math when cross-referencing so many things):<br />
