Hehe Shakal you rascal. =) Pick whoever you want<br /><br />And actually, it&#039;s not unreasonable for Jkist to signup and tell teams that he wants to play, but might not be able to. Make whatever insinuations you want but at least he&#039;s letting captains know he might not show up.<br /><br />-Albatross<br />-Bloodstrike<br />-Flowstone<br />-Joshsmith<br />-Caboose<br />-Hatred<br />-AND FUCKIN TONY!<br /><br />That&#039;s right! 12.5% of IDL signup draft picks have since failed to show up OR have quit before mid-season.<br />So don&#039;t rag on kist for telling you that he is moving to Chicago, and he does have a new job and that he does have to get situated before all his &#039;doom priorities&#039; set in. And if you doubt it&#039;s truthfulness then I guess ask people who know him. It&#039;s not a lie.<br /><br />As to the plot. Of course I made an attempt to get NS members on my team, but I didn&#039;t throw games, I didn&#039;t extort other captains, I didn&#039;t trick people. I just traded a good player for a good pick. There isn&#039;t really anything nefarious or wrong about that, as Ladna mentioned.<br /><br />The only thing I really regret about it is that Kandy seems to having taken me trading him personally. I don&#039;t think people should take being traded to heart. I still think Kandy is an awesome player and I actually admire his competitive spirit. But Caboose has quit IDL and I have to make adjustments to stay a competitive IDL team. In this case it involved getting another pick at mid-season.<br /><br />As far as Chain&#039;s comment. My understanding is that the team situation this season is very similar to that of Season 2, if not worse. Many teams have players quitting or ones unhappy with their teams. There are clearly some lop-sided IDL teams in less than competitive conferences. And attendance is a serious issue for almost every team this season. Trading was intended to shape up those disparities and give the last weeks more of a showing. So far it looks like it will.<br /><br />The TAIBREAKER is actually very funny. I think more things like that should become public, especially if they involve conspiring against tai.<br /><br />I agree there need to be changes, but honestly the only thing I disagree with this season are the unspoken agreements between Donut and Tenchu. THEY CANNOT BE REGULATED AND ARE SUBJECT TO NO ADMINISTRATIVE CONSEQUENCE! Then again, captains are allowed to do as they please. To my knowledge the captaining system is being mended next season. So we&#039;ll see if that provides relief from these issues.<br /><br />Chill out guys, nothing terrible has happened =)
