digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 dale I lost my first rounder 9 years ago because I did not adjust my lineup on a trade. Did I like it? Of course not but I lived with the penalty. My farm team is maxed out at 20 already and considering I couldn't give a 4th rounder away this past draft I don't see it as a big deal.

FCP Bob 1,321 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Wow. I would have rioted and burned things. That was a rule that is no longer in place and I thought was way out of line. Basically if you made a trade and it involved draft picks or cash and you didn't have your roster correct before the next game with the correct number of players active and reserve you lost any draft picks or cash you traded for. Way too much penalty for the issue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Wow. I would have rioted and burned things. . Lol I was actually unemployed for 6 months and at the time I had 4 offers on the table to go over. Of course I took the worst one That is why I missed adjusting my roster Link to post Share on other sites

iBeaver 409 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 So what happens if Biatch starts putting in poopy lineups for the same purpose? Hard to take it all seriously when one complains about another GMs actions basically being detrimental to the league then combats it by doing something that is also detrimental to the league. Also one allegedly is against the mythical invisible rules and the other is well clearly against the rules. Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to take it all seriously when one complains about another GMs actions basically being detrimental to the league then combats it by doing something that is also detrimental to the league. Also one allegedly is against the mythical invisible rules and the other is well clearly against the rules. My hope is that Biatch doesn't get the bye in the West so if my actions convince him to put in poopy lineups then all the better. I don't know why he'd do that considering he's traded just about all his future to win now. And these mythical invisible rules of which you refer have been referenced by others before, but like a lot of things they seem to fade into the background when it doesn't support the current argument. My reasoning for submitting the lineup I will submit was already explained. I am not tanking. I hope to get the bye in my division, but I also hope Biatch doesn't get the bye in his division. I am also highlighting how ridiculous (IMO) it is to dictate which players a team must dress while allowing a team to trade two of their best players and almost half their cash 10 days before the draft and the roster deadline. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 The value of the draft has been diminished significantly in this pool. At the same time, the value of the auction has been increased significantly. It was overkill. I'm not claiming Biatch did anything against the rules. I'm not claiming John did anything against the rules. I'm claiming the rules are ****ing poopy. The strategy of building a winner through the draft has been attacked while the ability to buy a winner had no limits placed on it. Arp's comment about not allowing one strategy to be significantly more dominant (or effective) than any other is spot-on. How will people feel if Dan wins it all and then decides to drop out? We'll be suggesting we should've put rules in place to prevent such a thing in the future. Proactive is better than reactive, no? I'm not suggesting Dan intends to leave but the reality is nobody knows. And how do we know there's no agreement in place that sees Dan giving John some $ if he wins? I'm not suggesting this is the case, but it's not something I can guarantee to be true. Is there an unwritten mythical rule that says we are to just accept these things won't happen? Perhaps we might want to consider putting rules into place to prevent such things. ~ whiney baby Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not suggesting Dan intends to leave but the reality is nobody knows. I'm not against trading for the future but the GM, in the hangover phase, has his team so obliterated there's no point in even submitting a lineup then you could have a participation issue. This falls in what-if land but if a GM torches a team and walks away what do you do? No sane GM would be willing to take that franchise over. The usual answer is a dispersal draft but how to deal with draft picks, etc...? Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think most of the teams that have been taken over in the AHL have been in horrible shape when the transition happens. I remember Dale taking his team over and going through it with a weed whacker and a blowtorch almost immediately. Link to post Share on other sites

I remember Dale taking his team over and going through it with a weed whacker and a blowtorch almost immediately. I didn't have a team to go through. When I started I was given draft picks... the last pick of each round (we had 5 rounds back then) and a few bonus picks at the end of the draft. Link to post Share on other sites

It's the same thing as far as I'm concerned only worse because it means extra work for me and the penalty will be the same as if you submitted a lineup sitting your best players.

Because you aren't missing a lineup you are willfully telling the admins of the pool to go F themselves after being specifically told that it isn't right for you submit a lineup without your best players. Have you commented on my suggestion for a solution to what is pissing you off so much for the future ? If you have I must have missed it in all the posts today. Link to post Share on other sites

You didn't get it from the reply I just PMed you on the AHL site? So the rules that are in place can be changed whenever you choose? The rules state the fine for the first missed lineup is $1.00. It doesn't specify any other specifics. Link to post Share on other sites
