***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (1 Viewer)

Larry, after this I will answer you in PM.  I believe there are important points that you are not understanding, but do not want to risk losing this thread.

It should be noted, I never suggested anyone do anything against board rules.  What I suggested is that IF a fellow league member did act against rules and someone else has an issue with it, the offended party should act like an adult and bring up that issue with the individual first, and then with the league - NOT go straight to "management" which threatens everyone in the league, including the many that have done no wrong whatsoever.

Again, I dont understand why someone would join a league where EVERYone else is ok with whatever is posted, but that ONE individual has such an issue with it, that they risk screwing up the whole exercise for everyone involved.
Koya, by being on this board you say that you are "ok" with abiding by the rules of this board...this draft was held on this board, therefore everything in this thread should have been within the ToS of this board...

if you don't agree with the rules of the board, you shouldn't be posting anywhere on here, not even in the largest thread EVA!! :rotflmao:
Larry,I have locked your team at WIS and your money will be refunded to you via the method it was deposited.

Thanks for playing.

how about "my team isn't locked because that is an alias"???

GB Koya, in this thread and others he's the only voice of reason I've heard. People may have their problems but it's good there's at least one sane person here speaking the truth. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Larry, his picture is right there in his post! How can he be an alias? And thank you John, for putting an end to the madness.

Seriously Larry, you're out of the league. Nobody is attacking you personally. You've just been asked not to continue in this sim. That's the truth.

 
In the future if we are confronted with a particular hairy situation we should all ask ourselves...WWJD (What Would John (martinez) Do?). If your action doesn't comply to the standards of fair play, you will expierence John's wrath.

 
Here are the league's published rules, or lack of them. League rules need toappear here and from what is published here your players are not inviolation. Get the league founder to contact us and authorize the changes.Thanks.
cappy, I guess you need to contact them, 'cuz they don't understand why I need to change my roster...I need Paul Quantrill 03 replaced by Paul Quantrill 01...I also need Bobby Bonilla 95 replaced with Bobby Bonilla 88...those are the 2 changes, Quantrill from '03 to '01 and Bonilla from '95 to '88...

Larry, your team is good. No need to do anything. The next owner will take care of it.Vaya con Dios amigo!

 
Cap - MUCH props to you. Using your blatant alias, Larry Boy, you have drummed up enough interest to easily get us to the 1000 page plateau. Kudos my friend, Kudos.

 
Can someone give me a 'smoo' of what happened?
LB was using Paul Quantrill's best year as a reliever, when he should have been using his thrid best. He got called on it and claimed he was within the rules. He's been asked to leave the sim and he won't go. Then he started to report posts.Once Capella catches up, we'll need a new owner, so whoever wants the team (first place team) just say the word.

I used his second best year as a reliever, which was his third best year overall...after all this time you still don't really know what happened?

Larry, it's over. C'mon, pack your things.
 
Step 1. Cappy boots LB from the WIS league (and if this can't be done, oh well. boot him from other sims, future drafts, votes, ect.)Step 2. EVERYBODY put LB on your ignore list.Step 3. Carry on as if nothing happened.

Just click on his name next to one of his posts. It'll have an ignore feature in there. Like the same way you could click on somebody and pm them...the ignore feature is in w/ that now.

Plus John Martinez (the only name that really counts in the end) and a number of the hijacker owners. Larry=done.

So what is your side of the story? What did really happen? Yes, I do care, I am curious.
 
Ok, lets back away from the ledge. We need to make new threads for the personal pickering, so those can get deleted. We know where this is going.

Larry cheated. The commish of the league told him he cheated and that he needed to fix it immediately. Larry refused. Larry, being the little ##### that he is, then went on to report things in the thread.

It's not the Quantrill thing that bothers me as much anymore, it's the fact that you continue to report posts, brought in half of the mods (including the head man) and had the thread taken off the board for a half-hour due to you wearing out the report function.Personally, I'd prefer you not post in the thread anymore, as you prefer to be the hall monitor which is just inciting a riot and I don't want the thread to get nuked. But I can't stop you, so whatever. You won't be in the second year though, I don't prefer to associate with people who act the way you do.

That's all I'm going to say on it. I'm trying to be civil, but the fact that this thread almost got deleted really pisses me off. I've put too much of my time into it to have it taken down over that nonsense.

and that being a personal threat could easily be reported, too, UCONN...just a thought...

(since I was told I should tell people to edit stuff rather than report it... lol)

(and no, I wouldn't report it either way)

Good thinkin'. Thanks for the laughs in the pages leading up to this part...you'll be missed (seriously). :thumbup:

Please stop.We know he was wrong, we all have our opinions on it, all it's going to take is a few more of these to get it nuked. He won't be around for year two, let's leave it at that.

I'm not the one who was reporting posts this afternoon...Joe has said 25 people reported posts, Cappy... was he lying?

so why am I getting all of this blame put on me? I'm not the one that got the thread shut down for half an hour... I was a part of it, but not the only one...

the fact it almost got deleted pisses me off, too, even more so since everyone assumes it was my fault when it wasn't...

 
Can some of you post padders give me an update of the last 12 pages or so?
We could, but by the time you went to read it, the post would be deleted. Good post cappy. hopefully we can calm down for a bit.

you just don't wanna get beaten again...(also: about the Quantrill thing... I was totally wrong, I should have changed him and protested after changing him, and not the other way around... adn I am honestly sorry for that... also, I am honestly sorry for all but one or two of the reportings, I did, a total of maybe 5 posts (and only 2 in the last 2 days during all the crap, too, so the thread getting taken down due to people reporting is totally not my fault)

As far as I am concerned, apology accepted. I still have issues with reporting being done before talking to the individual, but at least someone is willing to admit fault and step forward. It's a good start.Harrier, you wont like it (and we might have a cinNIPtion occur) but right now, I am off the petition.

As far as future actions, have to take that a day at a time, but I will not call for Larry's ouster at this point.

Is that a relative of Ali G? wtf

 
I stopped reading this thread after Frank Thomas at pick 49 overall.Can someone tell me which page(s) have interesting content?

 
Ed Reulbach? 3rd best year or 3rd year as a reliever (which is impossible because he only shows up with 2 years if you click the RP spot)?Harrier, his 3rd year overall is actually pretty good, but it might leave you with fewer than the 3 required relievers.

Cappy said we aren't booting him anyway (and it really wouldn't be worth the trouble w/ having to refund his money, replace his team, ect.). He isn't welcome to future seasons. He isn't welcomed to future sims. Nobody wants to seem him post so just put him on your ignore list and move on.
