[quote author=MionicDonut link=topic=16.msg115#msg115 date=1214851788]<br />Shakal will trade for JKist<br />[/quote]<br /><br />Ha ha, OK.&nbsp; But seriously why should he have to?&nbsp; I&#039;m not gonna get inside Shakal&#039;s head and try to figure out what, if anything, he would do otherwise, but he shouldn&#039;t have to waste his midseason to pick up a player who &quot;isn&#039;t going to show up&quot; to keep WAD from stacking (which is absolutely their right).&nbsp; Again, I don&#039;t have a problem with what Nostar did, I think that&#039;s all clear.&nbsp; I disapprove of signing up for IDL with a &quot;I&#039;m not going to play&quot; disclaimer... which means to me that you&#039;re not going to play unless you get on a team you like.&nbsp; I apologize if that&#039;s not the case, but I still think he shouldn&#039;t have signed up if he didn&#039;t think he was going to be able to play.&nbsp; I feel the same way about all the other players who have been chronically absent... Tony &amp; Bloodstrike come to mind, though there&#039;s probably others.<br /><br />However, I will say that IDL is awesome, and if I was in the same position JKist is in (new city, new place, new job, new internet, real work hours, etc.) and still wanted to join the IDL, I would consider signing up like he did.&nbsp; I mean, at least he&#039;s being honest about his possible attendance issues.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know the guy that well, but what I&#039;ve heard is he&#039;s an upfront, pragmatic guy... not to mention he runs ZDDL (which looks like herding cats, but what do I know).&nbsp; So on the other hand, I hope that he gets re-situated quickly and can play ASAP for whoever (if anyone) drafts him.&nbsp; In fact, I hope he signs up next season too, as a captain even!
