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

What happened anyway?
As near as I can fathom, LarryBoy pulled the draft equivalent of cheating on a math test and then, after getting caught, ratting out the kids smoking in the boys room.But I'm still digging back into the thread, so...

That's pretty accurate.
 
This thread has turned queer.  Lets see if the language filter catches that one.
Let's not make it something it's not. That was the name of the character.
Was more a reference to the "lets have a musical" post and the fact that the thread just sucks now.also upset to have to get rid of the Larry Boy at church group post. I don't come up w/ even decent posts very often and actually kind of liked that one.

Larry apologized. Therefore, I will keep this in mind for future drafts but have withdrawn my name from the petition, according the the terms by which I originally signed.  As far as I am concerned his cheatfishin' ### can stay.
I'm going to say you're alone on this one Koya.
No -- Koya's not alone on this. Reporting posts to the mods affects the sim competition in no way.

You're telling me you wouldn't pay a few bucks to see Adrian Zmed and John Martinez in a musical about Larry Boy's trials and tribulations in this thread? I think it'd sell out in 2 hours.

Usually, I hate musicals. That said, Godspell can be a damn good show. Plus, its the story of Christ. We arent talking no Cats bull####.

You never signed the petition in the first place. BTW...does cheating affect the sim competition in any way?

Scott Norwood was on Growing Pains?

I'm with Capella re: Quantrill & Bonilla. I'm over that, and he's working to fix it (though apparently the WIS staff are giving him grief).Additionally -- I'm not sold that he was cheating. He thought there was loophole that allowed him to use Quantrill's second RP season; and he made an error on Bonilla (like mrharrier's error on Sallee). At first, I faulted him for not agreeing to correct these errors. Once he moved to get his players' stats right, I was satisfied.

Very good. One vote for "he stays".
 
Nipsey, Capella already ruled on it. He stays. Too much of a hastle w/ refunds, and switching owners, and all that. Nobody is going to recognize him as a champion. He isn't welcome back. He won't be included in other sims or the vote (Koya should also be left out of the vote...one Lebron incident is enough). He's on my (and should be on everybody's who signed the petition) ignore list.

 
For the future, we should make sure that anyone who participates in a draft is adult enough to handle "mature situations"

I wont mention names and dont want to get personal, but if 15 guys all think along the same lines... much like what gets discussed in the lockeroom stays in the lockeroom... and one person that is going to narc everyone out, that destroys the entire integrity of a league.

If someone can not be man enough to understand that things that might not fly elsewhere should not be reported by anyone in the league (hey, if it is reported by an outside observer, more power to them) , I know that is not the type of person I want to join a league with.

Simple as that. 

It might be a PG board.  It aint no PG league.  If you can not handle PG-13 and some R - and heck, even a little X - rated chatter, then stay the hell out of the kitchen.
you have to be kidding...so you think its ok to break the rules that Joe put forth?

Again, I wonder what Joe would say about htat... and wonder how fast he would delete this thread if he read that...
I think when you decide to group up with 15-20 other guys, and they ALL see things one way, then you have to ask yourself this:Can you live by the rules and conditions of the league first?

Will you remain loyal to the league and not act in a way to hurt the league?

If either of those answers is No, then clearly you should not join these leagues in the future. That way, you wont be offended, and you will not ruin everyone elses fun.

I never said it was not "within your right" to tell Joe. I can say this - to put your personally offense above the place of almost TWENTY other people is selfish. It is within your right to report, and it is then within the right of everyone else to never want you included in anything on this board ever, ever, ever again.

If you want to take the ball home so no one else can play, that is fine. Don't expect to ever be invited out again.

Likewise, if I were to join a league with all sincere hard core Christians, I would not be spouting my issues with religion in that forum. Why? because the league would be for fun, and I would be the only one seeing things differently, and I would not want to cause friction or ruin the league because of my personal issues.

I would suggest you look long and hard at who is involved in an FBG league in the future and ask yourself... can you live with the type of people they are, and with the behaviors you expect to see in the thread? If not, why would you want to join something, only to ruin it for everyone?
and to put your personal views above the rules of hte message board that you are posting in shows the mods of hte board that you have no respect for them and that you really don't belong here...I don't care about 99% of the stuff in this post, but to say that it is wrong to report porn in the thread and a few other things I did report, and not get on the countless other people (Joe said it was at least 25 people) who also reported this thread for things that were probably lesser than what I reported it for is hypocritical and not fair or smart at all....

I never took my ball home, I never expected them to delete the thread, I don't want them to... I figured they'd delete the posts because the thread was so large...

If I had thought that the thread would be deleted I porbably only would have reported the porn, and that is it... because that 100% has no place here in the open like that...

but, really, waht do you think the mods will say when they read your posts over the last page basically saying "I don't have to follow the rules"??? Do you realyl think they'll like them?
The mods told me to be nice to you, but you're making it very difficult. Please just shut up now. You're gonna be persona non grata in any future WIS league we host anyways, so your opinion really isn't amounting to anything at this point. All you're doing is grating our nerves.Maybe he wants this thread to be deleted now that he's been, for all intents and purposes, been thrown out.

 
Nipsey,

Capella already ruled on it. He stays. Too much of a hastle w/ refunds, and switching owners, and all that. Nobody is going to recognize him as a champion. He isn't welcome back. He won't be included in other sims or the vote (Koya should also be left out of the vote...one Lebron incident is enough). He's on my (and should be on everybody's who signed the petition) ignore list.
I'll put it like this...you're out of the loop. Decisions are being made as we speak.

I hate you.
 
OK, Maybe you don't want my $.02 worth here, but I read pretty much of this whole GD thread and I'm going to effing comment! :P

Capella, you still don't know jack about poker, but you are 100% spot on here. Larryboy has cheated,plain and simple.

Larryboy, this statement which you are quoting from your rules:

maybe we can work something out where players who served dual-roles in their career, and the sim doesn't allow for it, we could have it be their 3rd-best year at that position the draftor requests? say for eck, his 3rd-best year as a RP, and for Babe, his 3rd-best year as an OF?

make sense?
The part that's bolded, you are taking that so far out of context and twisting it the way you want, that it's laughable. Yes it says you could, but in the context of how it is written is saying you could word the rule that way, not that you could have your choice on how to use a player. It's as clear as Capella not knowing anything about poker.LB you are a cheater, no 2 ways about it. The worst part is, is that you are doing everything in your power to justify it, except the right thing.

 
:mellow:

Back away from the "line". You guys are cruising along nicely.... :yes:
Speaking of cruising along nicely...If one had a 17" monitor set to 1024x768 resolution and the browser set to full screen, would this thread stretch from New York to Los Angeles if it wasn't broken down into pages?

If not, how much farther do we have to go?

Not just 'maybe' imo. Ignore works real good. :thumbup:
 
WIS has been e-mailed and we're awaiting a response as to what course of action we can take. Hang tight Rude Dude.Nipsey, can you get an answer from John on this?

:thumbup: John's not really involved in the day to day, but I'm sure you'll hear back shortly....

 
The last petition I signed was to have Arbor Day declared a Federal Holiday...

Still waiting...

:rant:
It's a lot of legal mumbo jumbo, but the gist of it is you are signing to confirm you don't believe in Dragons or condone cheating.
