Strong post to avatar correlation.

Mac is not a big donut eater. Correlation strength confirmed.

 

[Allefgib]

Geez I hope I don't need to mod game threads.

Campbell's Chunky - are you committed to play this year mate? If, yes we will expect you to honour that.
(if he responds in the affirmative I don't want to see anymore bickering about it please).

Azza - push on with getting things running. Please confirm - no rules have changed right?

Sigh.

Good trade.

 

[Vantz]

Sigh.

Good trade.

Benefits both, We had both outside our 16, now we get a keeper each in a position we want.

 

[Vantz]

Getting back on track, maybe we can all put some feelers out to fill the last spot and then confirm a draft date, whether that is a long draft or live draft on one night.

 

[Vantz]

azza77 maybe change the poll question to the type of draft people would like to have

 

[Mego Red]

I vote for a weeklong Long Draft.

We aim to do a couple of rounds a day, starting after the second round of NAB cup.

 

[Mego Red]

Round 1 isn't til March 26, so we should push it til the 2nd week of March, at least.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT (Number 2)

AN in principal agreement has been met between Danoz and Vantz.

Danoz team Breaking Bad will send - Billy Longer and Zac Clarke in exchange for Luke Dunstan and Daniel Menzel.

 

[Vantz]

I've contacted Houston about possibly joining. He has said he'd be interested. He is pretty active within the fantasy boards, and a decent AF rank.

 

[Mego Red]

Vantz.

What the hell are you doing.

Seriously.

Is your plan just to take rucks into your 16?

For what end? What's the point you're trying to make?

 

[Vantz]

I want to keep my options open with the rucks, watch the first 2 rounds of NAB before we do the draft. Rucks are valuable, I want to pick the right 3 as keepers.

I now have Lobbe, Gawn, Leuenberger, Ceglar, McKernan, Longer, and Z.Clarke

People have claimed rucks are over priced. I've got 3 today for decent fair exchanges. Happy to trade them for fair prices, if people are willing to propose a trade.

 

[Mego Red]

Okay ...

Well, I look forward to seeing how this unfolds.

 

[Houston]

Hey guys,
I heard you have a vacancy and although I've never played draft before I'd be keen to give it a go.

Haha yeah I hope you don't have e to either. getting ridiculous in here....

CC is committed to play. He's not on that account much anymore for various reasons, but he is.

Well as far as Im aware there are no rule changes. Im not even league commissioner anymore and don't even have the power to change anything....

Okay what in the ****. Are you serious? This is taking things too far....

This is why I needed to be league commissioner, for shit like this.

How in the hell are we even supposed to try and attract new players when shit like this is going on.... I'm surprised Knobby hasn't bailed at this rate.

 

[azza77]

I never set the poll?

 

[azza77]

Vantz how many rucks do you plan on taking in your actual 16?

 

[azza77]

Hey guys,
I heard you have a vacancy and although I've never played draft before I'd be keen to give it a go.

Hey mate, despite all the current commotion, would be stoked to have you on board and welcome you with open arms.

 

[azza77]

Hey guys,
I heard you have a vacancy and although I've never played draft before I'd be keen to give it a go.

This would be the squad that you'd be assigned. You would need to select 16 keepers from this squad and then go to the draft to fill out the rest of your team how you see fit.

[Vantz]

Vantz how many rucks do you plan on taking in your actual 16?

Most likely 3. Keeping my options open to see how the ruck perform and once there is more information available, as my third ruck spot i'm a bit unsure on.

The trades that were made and were accepted by the corresponding participant in this league. They believe the trades would benefit them, as it has benefitted me. I think you are placing your personal dislike for me above what are on paper 2 reasonable trades for both teams. If this was say DS making the move I don't think you would have had that reaction. It seems like it might have just been all talk about ruck man being over priced, the people I traded with were fair and reasonable.

I am leaving my options open considering we are sticking with 2 rucks. If someone wants a ruck, I have plenty and i'm happy to on trade to DS or anyone who needs one.

"This is why you needed to be league commissioner?" The irony of the situation is not lost on me. I'd happily give the league commissioner role to someone impartial. That would exclude the both of us! Though in my role, after watching people waffle on about getting and filling the final spot in our league, I was able to recruit Houston in 10 minutes. I think that is a win for our league.

Despite not agreeing with certain aspects, i'm not changing anything or removing anyone. We've consulted and the league has made their decision.

There is no commotion. Just 2 great trades between 3 teams and a new player who I think will be good. I know Houston is newer, but is pretty active in Fantasy posts etc. That also fills out our 10 now we have CC and Houston confirmed.

I've DM Houston with a league URL invite. Also emphasised he has the number 1 selection this year in the draft.

 

[Mego Red]

Vantz and Azza - I'm just trying to work out which of you is Gary Lyon and which is Billy Brownless.

 

[Mego Red]

I also maybe need to know - is there something that the rest of the players need to know?

Why would either of you guys think the other one doesn't like you? Azza - are you unhappy to not be commissioner anymore?
