[EdJovanovski]

Shut up or I will sick @Tob on you.


I already said I don't care.

@Tob get out of here you freak, members only.

If I leave I'll be replaced by @Tob , so keep this in mind when you cast your ballot.

 

[Tob]

I thrive off of discord and conflict. I am a very sick man. This is all I have.

You think I’m scared of that little freak?

The things I do for this league. I had to whip @DanielBrassard back into setting his weekly lineups and now I’m in charge of wrangling Ed back into the barn.

So what would everyone have done if I claimed McDavid? I hit the add player button, and had ample time to complete a transaction, I just thought better of it.

Yes, best not to stoop to Ed’s level.

I wish you would have so Ed would have left the league. That would have been peak content.

Fair play TBH.

As someone whos been running GM games & fantasy on the main boards for years, Ed is in the right here. That's not what vetos are meant to be used for(they’re used to prevent collusion), and even if it were this trade is even for a bangers league from what Ed has posted.

You guys chose a wacky scoring system but Brady = McDavid. McDavid being a bigger name doesn’t score him extra points in this format.

The outrage should be redirected toward a mirror because you guys voted for this scoring system.

All I'm reading is Ed f***ed us.

 

[Tob]

@EdJovanovski Ever throw a fit at a pawn shop when they won’t accept to buy your brand new Yeezy slippers even when you offer it to them at a discount? Are you stupid? These are genuine Yeezys, you can easily get two grand for these and I’m pawning it for $1,100, do you even know how turning a profit works? This is the worst pawn shop I’ve ever been in

Rempe needed to be rosterable

Aren’t you supposed to be basting a turkey leg right now, why are you on HF? I will be calling your manager.

I would've been all for it. LOL

I have NO idea who you are, but nobody voted for this scoring system. Ed instituted it & we went along with it. You are right, however, & it's a bigger issue that our re-tard scoring system allows Brady Sloth to be on a similar level as McJesus.

Your opinion on vetoes means nothing to me honestly. As it was already said, what's the point if we can't balk at a lopsided deal?

Rempe needed to be rosterable

Ed drafted him, dropped him & picked up again...in a short span of 2 weeks! LOL!

By the way, it just dawned on me that Ed probably recruited you to join this thread & back him up.

The whole "only veto if it's collusion" thing is wrong, IMO.

Ed provided a perfect example of that a couple years ago. There was that guy who was basically completely inactive that agreed to an incredibly lopsided trade with Ed where Ed was getting like 200% value. I don't think there was any "collusion" there, I think it was just a trade where one guy didn't give a shit and said "whatever" and agreed to a pure garbage trade.

The outrage from that was so immediate and swift we didn't even have to veto it, IIRC, as I think Commissioner Ed canceled it directly. Now this McDavid trade was not on the level of that trade, but it's the same concept. There are times when trades are just unfair and upset the competitive balance of the league that have nothing to do with collusion.

This league has approved other lopsided trades, too, for what it's worth. So it's not like the veto is being weaponized here.

 

[Kupo]

I don’t like the trade but that’s not something I’d veto. But those who did, have that right. If enough people feel the same (50%) then so be it.

Agreed. I know I'm not a GM but this thread is my favorite soap opera. I'm both a Commish (all of my leagues except the NFL have no waivers) and platinum rated in all 4 sports. Vetos are used to prevent unbalanced trades. If the league didn't veto this trade, it's their fault, not Ed's. There's nothing else to say about it. @EdJovanovski I joke with you sometimes but I like you.

It's the system you installed, but I stand corrected we all went along willingly.

I was on record 2 years ago suggesting we switch to categories, however. Plus I HATE PIM as a stat.

 

[DialUp]

Look, this is not without value. If anything this is an educational moment for all

By the way, we also agreed to vote on trades, but here we are! LOL.

I "installed" it by selecting those rules after you guys voted for them LOL. I didn't put it forward as some proposal and people said yea sure we'll go with that, it was a multiple choice survey where you could vote on every single statistical category and I just selected the settings people voted for. You were one of the voters, and you said that that nobody voted for these score settings and I just chose it myself and people went along with it

I admitted we all went along willingly. However, I edited my reply above to add I wanted to switch to categories 2 years ago....

You're really butt hurt over this whole thing eh? I shudder to think of how you'd react if there was money on the table!
