With 0/0 scouting, you don't see many prospects.     And the projected ratings are useless.   How did you rank them?

Well, now that my TC just blew up, let me clarify.Unfortunately, I can't think of way of doing so without revealing TC's in the forums. Apologies in advance where they are needed. Nordique did TC me with this:
     
     "Thanks, but this is a danger of a veto. thats why we usually dont say anything about the draft picks, we just do it after rollover...silently...
     lol...cross your fingers"

so that is NOT a lie. To be fair to nauds, he TC'd me after the announcement with:

     "Hey bro, just wanna make sure you know KC has 0/0 prospect scouting... The chances of his picks being any good are low"

and followed up with:
     
     "Look at his draft history it will give you an idea of what youre getting. You want me to approve this? If i were you i would wait until after the draft, so you know u are      getting at least something.  Btw, this conversation never happened. Im good friends with nordique"

Since nauds just asked me to speak up, I figure I'm released from that promise. I responded with:

     "I'm actually really easy going - do what you feel is right, and I won't rat you out, lol"  (meaning to Nordique for questioning the trade)

Since the trade was approved, I have no idea who voted for or against it now. As I indicated to Ovechkin last night, the first indication I had that something was really wrong was when Nordique said these things are normally done quietly, but at that point, the trade was accepted and in the hands of the league to vote. While Nauds has been very (some might say overly) vocal in defense of his friend, he had nothing else to do with this deal. For my part, I'm willing to vacate my claim to the draft picks and accept the loss of Colbrunn as an expensive lesson learned in order to get back to playing and enjoying the game.

If everyone was doing it, why was it done on the hush hush?

I don't post much on HBD forums but this whole affair reminds me a bit of the recent Penn State deal. Lets keep things silent while I take you into the showers and fleece you of your best players for some **** draft picks that I drafted with 0/0 scouting.

Why has WIS not banned this guy? 12-1 WS or not, totally classless. Looks like a lot of cheerypicking went into those 12 WS's too.

I am 3-0 in WS's, another starts tomorrow. But I like to compare my titles to Smith Barney of old, "I make my WS Championships the Old Fashioned way. I earn them". nordique has not earned his titles by working at it. He's gamed the game by cheating and cherry picking.

So "Shhhhhhh......everyone is doing it but let's keep it quiet"?

Yeah, that sounds like something a cheater would say.   He'd lie.

Winning in your first season is called "cherrypicking".

why dont u ask the Commissionner? he traded picks too. why did he let it go? because it was very minor. except for the Colbrunn trade it was always just 1 pick traded. if someone would have offered me 5 1st round picks + 3 solid players for Colbrunn i would have said yes in a heartbeat. Thanks again to all of you for helping me when i was trade raped in my very 1st trade by saying nothing. trous de cul.

I'd say you're a world destroyer. You max your salary with bad contracts and then bail when the players are old and extremely veer paid... Look at the team u ditched in Foxx..... It will entertaining to see the teams you kill in you current worlds after you ditch them with maxed out salaries and old wasted players..
