All trade talks we've had took < 5 TCs, if memory serves, regardless of whether we made a deal or not.

Decisive is good, to me at least.

I usually know pretty quickly if a deal will be made.  Which, coupled with my low tolerance for dumbassery, means I get to the point.   Asking for some AAAA throw-in pings my low tolerance. 

We've made 4 deals in MG.   They went so smoothly I'd have guessed we'd never traded.   Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Ricardo James was popular as he was dealt twice.

Who knew?  I wouldn't have guessed that many, either, though I don't think they've been major moves.

It was about 40 seasons ago but I checked all my trades in all worlds.   trop was my most frequent trade partner back then.   That was surprising also.  Especially since we had a "WTF are you thinking?" moment at the beginning of MG last season.

The only time we have a smooth deal is when you undervalue a pitcher, which is often, and I offer "uh! me hit homer!" for him.

Yeah, when the opposite is true, you want the "uh! me hit homer!" guy, you offer me the same ****** pitchers I never want.

Seems like you'd figure it out.

As difficult as you are to deal with i am more so. I would prefer to say, this is the trade i will make, will you make it? You say yes, we deal, you say no, we won't. I don't have patience for the ***** footing around that everyone wants to do and dress up as negotiations.
