WIS was in kind of a can't-win situation here, both potential approaches had negatives. But considering how many players are impacted by this sudden retirement, a general statement from Admin would be in order.
If it were my company I would have told ESF that I will cut him loose(fully refunded) right after recruiting ends. Because if it were my company I would know how every aspect of my company worked and I would have understood the consequences of my actions.
How is it as "can't-win" situation? What do you mean by that?
Either route means you're messing with a recruiting strategy midstream. If esf just languishes for a few days doing nothing right around signing day, that distorts the results too. Whether that matters is for you to decide.
Kcsundevil - I appreciate you trying to play devil's advocate (no pun intended), but MANY people get frustrated, languish a few days, and do nothing around signing day. It's called running out of money. Or frustration, or whatever you want to call it. But by WIS giving into the person who screamed the loudest, without regard for the ramifications to other players while a process was still pending, did a disservice to this game. This is NOT how the game was intended to be played. If it is, then why not allow me to do the same thing next season? I'll just tell WIS that 52 hours after the signing cycle begins, after I've spent all my recruiting budget, I'd like SIMAI to take over my recruiting and start spending money on any battles that are still pending, even though I've blown all my cash. Then, after signings are done and simmy has nabbed a few more players this way, allow me to reclaim my team. That should be fair, right? NO. Not fair because it adversely impacts other who have nothing to do with this. Do you see what I'm saying here man?? This is not what is supposed to happen. Not only will WIS not do anything to make this right, THEY WON'T EVEN ADMIT THAT ANYTHING WENT WRONG HERE. Business as usual.
