That's pretty mean dude...The worst thing I've done (I think) was lie about where in the country I was from and tell him the reason I wanted to trade for a player was because I was from that area. He then stopped thinking that I was trying to screw him and believed that he was screwing me over. It worked well for me.
I've done this myself. I considered it a favor to them. I taught them a lesson about logging off of a site before you leave a computer - something that neglected could cost them a lot of grief & $$$ in another situation, and put something in the league that was easily reversible. I usually added a comment on the waivers like "I can't believe A-Train was still available. You morons. I'm dropping that turd Tomlinson to grab him."Was it mean? Yup. Did it probably get gigantic laughs from the rest of the league? I'd bet on it. Made the Tomlinson owner squirm a little, too, I'll bet.
You haven't won for nine straight years...
So let me get this straight... You intentionally don't pick a player that you want, keep the league waiting an excessive amount of time intentionally, let several other owners have a shot at the guy you want, & then grab him later in the draft.And this is what you call devious strategy?
Pfft. Amateur. This is how the pros roll.So let me get this straight...

I told you that would work. My way is the best way to profits and riches.Z
This must have been before Herd got hired.I promised my buddies customized VBD cheatsheets for our local big $$$ league based on the site's projections and then instead gave them cheatsheets driven off Chase's rankings instead.
Vikings fan huh?Pfft. Amateur. This is how the pros roll.So let me get this straight...

Methinks you should write a book about FF and include a chapter on this strategy.
If I help myself enough, then who cares who else I help? This has helped me win more than any other team in my league.....its pretty bad, as it helps my team so much, but until someone wises up I dont know if I will quit.
I'm not saying it's a bad move, it's a good move. I'm simply giving a reason that nobody would complain.How many people look at other people's schedule with any degree of depth / analysis?
Man, that is just flat out low.
:raiseshand: I do. I look at the schedule for MY games first and look at the bye weeks and whom I am playing that week and what bye weeks that THEY will be dealing with. Then, I next look at the commissioner's schedule B/C HE'S THE ONE THAT MADE THE DARN THING UP!........you better believe I'd notice if he pulled a fast one on us.
I too...have studied and performed this art. It works quite well
nope...never fell victim, but watched it done in other leagues, only to try it down the line and perform it to perfection.I got duped when I started this hobby thinking that fantasy mags were the key to victory....whoops. 
This type of thing is too transparent to work. If I were the guy sitting next to you, I would know that you didn't want the guys you had said, and might even be able to deduce who you really wanted based on whose names you DIDN'T say. That move could easily backfire.By "studied" do you me once fell victim of and have since performed?I too...have studied and performed this art. It works quite well
Ah young Jedi....you are correct. That is why you do this "further away" from who you are trying to pull this over on. 2 seperate conversations. Speak just loud enough from a short distance away to make them think you are in another conversation and believe you they will!This type of thing is too transparent to work.

I tend to agree with this....there is devious and underhanded, and there is just cheating. When you win this league, do you actually feel like the best manager in your league?Glad your not my commish....
Bring it on Grid!
Not underhanded, just downright stealing and cheating.
