I'm not an original owner, nor am I attached to my team. I'm looking at it strictly as a buisness deal. My team is going to be very good for a long time...even longer if it takes 5 months to fill every rollover. If it never fills, I'm ok with that. If it fills tomorrow, I'm ok with that. If WIS makes me an offer I can't refuse to drop the team, I'm ok with that too. It's not personal...it's just business.




I have a creative solution for you, be an active owner in the league an go out an recruit people to join the league and quit looking for a free handout. Of course with the team you have your willing to just sit on it until it fills just to add another WS title. Whats the point...and where is the challenge in that?

Talk to one of the owners that's been there a long time. Maybe they care. I don't. If you care that much, maybe you should sign up and recruit new owners...good luck. I made an investment into one season and got paid back reward points. I made a profit. This team was never about building it, so I have no personal stake invested in it. It was about taking a very good team and transitioning it a championship level team and keeping it there. I accomplished that. My goal has been reached...whatever happens from here on out is just fine with me. I made my effort with WIS. I'm ok with the result and am just waiting for their idea. I'm not sure why you think that's a bad thing. It has no effect on you whatsoever.

For the record, I never asked for a handout. They offered a handout.

This is why leagues like this have a lot of turnover, and exactly the reason that this league has 21 openings. And bro I could care less if this world ever fills so no I will not be joing I would rather just see WIS close the world and not give you guys any credit.

Alright MikeT23 so i looked the numbers up for today and there are currently 92 openings in private worlds with 37 worlds scheduled for rollover in the next 10 days. How many openings do you think there will be in 10 days?

I believe he ask WIS to combine the league with another league so he could keep his very talented team. They told him that wasn't a possiblity.

hartjh14 holds an asset that could pay him dividends, but doesn't cost him anything to maintain. Why wouldn't he hold out for the most he thinks he could get?

Feel free to hold out all he wants...assets vs. liabilities when did this turn into accounting 101 I thought this was a game. Why expect WIS to give you anything? It is a Private World it's the owners and commissioners responsibilty to fill the world...why not just roll to world public and keep winning your WS titles againt know nothing noobs.

If those 37 were filled with freebie teams, we'll approach 200.

Owners in those worlds better get to work if they want to continue. Cooperstown rolls over in 30 days, probably between Christmas and New Year's. We had no openings last season. I have 3 on the waitlist without even starting a thread. Commissioner's would do themselves a favor if they ran good worlds and recruited BEFORE the world rolls.

Wrong. Go read the classifieds that you like to post out of context. You'll get the real answer there.
