My point was that your cutoff of 16 teams is pretty arbitrary. My draft spot is 19, I think -- why should I be out of the shot at the top pick because I was trying (ineffectively, for the most part) to win my games at the end of the season?

Do I really want feamster getting another stud in my division? Not really. But I'm also not going to spend much energy getting worked up about it.

I don't think your plan is all bad. I don't remember seeing this suggestion until well after the other plan was under way, however. Why did you keep this to yourself until after you got a lousy draw? It hurts your credibility.

Also: I'm pretty sure any "trashing" you've received has been related to the d-bag tone of pretty much every comment you've made.

Full disclosure: I am not trop's buddy, nor MikeT's. They don't know me at all.

ltbolt - you're doing a pretty good job of making yourself look bad. You don't really need any help from anybody.

It's the sky-is-falling, conspiracy-theory, everyone's-out-to-get-me tone of your rhetoric, ltbolt.

The concept was to spread a concentration of talent somewhat evenly around the world. However the talent landed was better than having it all under the control of one owner...Now Obama has his creepy fingers in our world and the distribution concept is turning into affirmative action...

The concept never was to "level playing fields" or provide hand-outs for hapless organizations (the kind that somehow falls from 60 to 46 wins in the 4th and 5th years under the same ownership)...it was only to spread the talent- and random is random. Its not gonna make everybody happy but that was never the promise.

I had to go through Bornlosers shi* when Admin wouldn't listen to me about what he was doing. Let's see, I wonder why this group is agreeing with MikeT and Trop. Oh, I know, bcuz Trop recruited this group of his buddies to come in there, of course they're going to take his side.



Actually Mike was the only guy that, at the beginning of the season last year, I had played a season with before. All of the other people were people on the forum who saw the recruiting post I started looking for vets to join and for a voting blok last season. We did bring in people that we knew after the season started, but none of them came back. And I guess you were too busy tanking last season to remember the blowout we had with The__Kid, my proverbial partner in crime in this...and with sport65...and with frapercaperp...this system especially rewarded the last two there, why would I want that??? Hell frapercaperp was a known alias user, and he ended up with the eleventh pick.

Why? Because when I said we should use the amateur draft order and kept saying what we were going to do, you totally flipped your gourd and I had to calm you down somehow.

So amorak proposed the randomizing thing. It sounded good. Everyone agreed. Including you.

And then it happened. And you got 25th. And you got ******.

The end.

He's been offered $24.95 if he wants to leave. He won't leave. His 3 year tanking job isn't complete, yet.

The funny thing is that Foxx is going to get exactly what no one wanted if ADMIN craps on the idea.

1. Nothing. I'll keep all the players, win 120 and let them try to sort it out again next season.

2. Players being put on the trade block and the best offer being taken. With one person determining best offer.

HA! I just checked the player ratings for the first time. 20 of them could be BL players right now. 7 are borderline guys that could develop a little more and be quality BL players in the future. 7 are likely to just be BL-filler at best.

So, someone picking, oh, I don't know, 25th might not be getting the cream of the crop.

You just nailed why your plan doesn't work you fuc*ing ego-maniac retard. There are THREE absolute game changing superstars in that group... So the top 2 teams in the league get the top 2 picks receiving game changing superstars to add to their 108 and 117 win teams.

The bottom guys are barely minor leage filler, but last year's worst team is picking LAST... so they get nothing. So the rich get a hell of a lot richer and the poor get nothing, but your dumbas* keeps saying this is good for the league simply because you're an ego-maniac who can't admit that you rushed into a halfas*, ****-poor idea.

How do yo guys not see the humor and the ridiculousness of MikeT screaming "I'm only doing it for the good of World Foxx..."

But then in the same breathe screaming "But if I don't get my way ans exactly my way even though it's no the better plan, then I'll do nothing at all and just dominate..."

So, does that sound like "for good of the league?" Or does that sound like "I jut want my damned way all the time bcuz I'm MikeT and I've got 100,000 posts and a big mouth?"
