[quote author=Ladna link=topic=179.msg1591#msg1591 date=1267297891]I agree that changing the rules after the fact is gay.&nbsp; It&#039;s stuff like this that the administration tries to avoid, but we don&#039;t always succeed.[/quote]<br /><br />Ditto.<br /><br />[quote]How would you know?&nbsp; You weren&#039;t around when franchising was being discussed, so I assume you&#039;re referring to the results of franchising...[/quote]<br /><br />I wasn&#039;t around but IDL was talked about in many places. I knew franchising was a dumb idea to keep certain people with each other/keep same guys winning. The rule itself defines it.<br /><br />[quote]Haha, I have no class, it is true.&nbsp; On the other hand, why should I punish my team because my opponents can&#039;t get their act together?&nbsp; Why shouldn&#039;t I take advantage of an easy win for my team?&nbsp; In fact, whenever we face a team that can&#039;t get 3 players on, I ask my team what they want to do.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it&#039;s good policy to force players to do things they don&#039;t want to do, but personally I don&#039;t have a problem with 3v2.&nbsp; I guess I should say that my team has a lot more class than I do, and so far has refused to 3v2 other teams.<br /><br />From a league administration standpoint though, it&#039;s clear that 3v2 isn&#039;t helpful to the league, so we&#039;re most likely going to require that teams get 3 players together.[/quote]<br /><br />I wouldn&#039;t want to play a 3v2 (see season one, I actually wanted to rematch T3A game) because its a cheap win and I don&#039;t like getting it that way.<br /><br />I don&#039;t like how a competitive league would allow crippled games like that. If they can reschedule a game again, why not? Most games don&#039;t get played till the ass-half of the week anyways so the super duper late reschedules could go on like say Mon Tues or Wed. If it goes longer than that, then obviously action must be taken.<br /><br />[quote]How?&nbsp; Should we have given them LB instead of letting them trade Collision to free agency for Strangle?...[/quote]<br /><br />Considering LB wasn&#039;t in IDL until he was picked up and Xen had to trade to the FA pool, I think Xen got shafted there having to pick from the pool.<br /><br />[quote]To be honest, I can&#039;t think of anything that the administration does that really requires &quot;spine&quot; so to speak.&nbsp; Maybe enforcement of the rules.&nbsp; I am kind of spineless in that regard, I usually leave the dirty work to Ralphis :) .[/quote]<br /><br />Well I&#039;d like to say the majority of the players here would like some changes but I haven&#039;t heard or seen any board members do anything (except maybe Goatface).<br /><br />I&#039;ve been involved in talk like this has been talked about since the season started with some board reps involved/observing. They&#039;re quite the lazy bunch.<br /><br />[quote]I don&#039;t even know what this means.&nbsp; All of us in the administration helped these teams out to the detriment to our own teams.&nbsp; And are you in favor of fairness, or are you in favor of &quot;buttfuckery&quot; to help teams out?&nbsp; Because if you didn&#039;t want us to help BSK out, then you could easily have not joined.&nbsp; Anyway, the only thing we got in return for our actions was a stronger league and happier players.&nbsp; There were no reacharounds, heh.[/quote]<br /><br />I am in favo(U)r of fairness, totally. Do I think me getting in the league late was fair? Of course not. Do I think picking up players not in the FA pool is fair? Of course not. I understand IDL is in need of players but decisions like those I just listed shouldn&#039;t be considered. I can see where you tried to help, but you should not compromise league rules in doing so either.&nbsp; <br /><br />[quote]On the other hand, I&#039;d like to think that if we address the issues you&#039;ve brought up in some way that you&#039;ll entertain the idea of playing in IDL in the future.[/quote]<br /><br />Sure. I don&#039;t like the way its run more or less which is why I don&#039;t play. If I like the tune of things I&#039;ll hop back in.
