OT 2018-2019 Rip City Two FANTASY FOOTBALL

You're totally out of line here Bones. I don't even get why you automatically get hostile towards me.

 

I'm calling out how your posting. The rules of the league are that I have the discretion to push through trades that I deem fair, and depending on voting results. I asked if that was okay two years ago and people were fine with it. I've done it with other people's trades without issue. Maybe I should've cleared that with you to begin with but if you ask me about it, and I tell you how it is and how it's been, I don't expect you to continuously grill me about it.

You've done this multiple times over so many little things that I'm getting annoyed. Maybe you dont understand the way you're coming across, so that's why you think you're the victim.

 

You're saying I'm disregarding a rule when you don't even know what the rule is. I have discretion. Therefore, you are clueless.

If the majority wants to change it and make it so that we have to wait throughout the whole "pending approval" period, then fine.

 

Why the fuck are you bringing this shit into it? You asked, I gave my opinion that I think we should stick to the rules. I didn't say I spoke for everybody but I do deserve 1/10th of an input in the league just like everyone else does. If everyone else thinks it's okay, then fine that is totally alright. In this case technically it could still be vetoed. I actually voted so your beef should be with those who haven't voted, not me. Just ask them to vote and then we could end this.

 

This isn't meant to be an attack so please don't take it this way, but can you please show me where it says that you have discretion to change the rules? If I go to the league page it says what the trade settings are.

Trade Rules
Trade Limit No Limit
Trade Deadline Wednesday, November 21, 12PM ET
Trade Review Period 2 Days
Votes Required to Veto Trade 4

 

The fact that you want me to disregard what's been done for years and to contact everyone to make sure they vote the trade through and are stating your opinion so strongly while not listening to what I have to say after doing this type of thing multiple times in 4 weeks is the issue here.

 

The fact that youre new and can't simply accept the way it's been done for years so you're asking me to provide written proof because of a deal that everyone knows will go through is the issue here.

 

Bones, please stop going to the "you're new" excuse. All the members of your league should know the rules whether they are new or old. You are getting mad at me because my opinion is that I think we should stick to whatever the official rules say? Once again, am I not entitled to have that opinion? That doesn't mean I don't recognize that you have done it differently in the past or that it is a personal attack on you, it's just simply my input. If this is how it is always been done then there should be something in the league notes saying that you have the ultimate power to change rules at your discretion.

 

For me as long as were all playing be the same rules Im ok with it. If its normal that a trade gets pushed early if its fair and no ones vetoed, than ok. As long as its Applicable to everyone, and everyone is aware of how it works. In this case I didnt know thats how the league has usually done things. I think itd make it easier to just have a rule that says after 24 hours if there are no vetoes itll get pushed through.

 

...seems like if there are 4 'no' votes that could veto a trade, then why isn't 4 'yes' votes pushing this thru? We've had at least 4 'yes' votes now, right? So then common logic would state that shit trade should go thru

 

Excuse? You're the one who's doing the most. I don't need an excuse. You're entitled to your opinion but quit trying to shove it down my throat. I don't change rules at my discretion, but you wouldn't know that!

 

Yeah, when forming my opinion I chose simply to go by what the official rules say. I don't really get how that makes me in the wrong here or why that opinion should be invalid because I'm new. In my opinion all disputes should conform to the official rules first and foremost. I'm in no way saying that it has to be my way, that is just what I believe.

Now if the discussion was about what I think about the rule, I would agree that 48 hours is probably way more time than needed for people to vote. Other than you, Bones, and I there isn't anyone else contributing to this conversation though.

 

That's the type of way I've operated in the past but apparently that's a problem for Mr. Brandt here.

 

Are the people involved in the trade allowed to vote?

 

Is there a way to see what the current vote is?

 

Wouldn't you need 5 yes votes to make sure? If there is 4 yes votes there still would be the possibility of 4 no votes, right?

 

Bones, once again please stop making this personal. I don't have a problem with anyone's opinion, nor is stating mine the same as having a problem.

 

On the app it lets me vote, but I dont know if it actually counts it or not.

 

If that is the case then allowing trades to go through with only 4 yes votes seems crazy to me since 2 of those could be the two teams involved in the trade.

If there are 7 yes votes and the other 3 haven't voted then sure it should go through because it would be impossible to be vetoed. If there are only 5 or 6 yes votes then it still could possibly be vetoed. Once again, 48 hours is a really long time to leave the voting open but that is the current rule.

 

Again just my opinion, if thats the way its worked before, and everyones ok with it than that is ok with me. It might be good to have it in writing some where so people are aware of it.

Maybe at some point we can revisit the rules?
