uh the replies on this thread (excluding this conversation) are 5 buffalo and 1 winnipeg so ?

If Finn had the balls he'd play hardball with whoever was trading up to take Zombo at 10 and let them walk away with nothing.
It's been done before and everyone has played ball.

Even though it's a draft it's still people participate and we should never force someone onto a team that they do not want to play on, or would you rather Zombie go inactive?

i don't care if everybody has "played ball" and i don't think you should limit yourself to 2 teams in a league of 16 and especially down to 1 in a team of 16. is that an egregious thought? uh no? I am sorry that my player not liking other players demanding where they go is "not my cup of tea." I also apologize for me not agreeing with it offending everybody lol. Again I will send this out for proofread next time!

Not offended, just different perspective.

I'd honestly wouldn't visit the site anymore if it wasn't for Buffalo. If I recreate and get drafted anywhere else I'd probably just quit instead.

But who cares about user retention when you can propel yourself out of mediocrity by making other users leave Smile

what the hell do you want me to do? pm every person drafted and say hey do you want to go here so you stay active, is it the only way? I wrote an article and I've never liked people demanding where they go, so I listed that as my opinion while still saying I like him as a player and I think it's a good pick, I just don't like how it got there. I don't know why that puts your panties in a wad and tries to frame me as somebody trying to drive out active players, lol. I have my opinion and your squad has yours, but I'm not going to shame your opinion as league killing. Cheers

But you have a problem with players having a preference on which teams they would like play for. I'd see it as courtesy to the teams in the draft if a player explicitly tells which teams not to draft him cause he's doesn't wanna play there. At least they won't waste a pick then.

I have a problem with players limiting it to such a small pool that players can be drafted at positions that they shouldn't have fallen to. And obviously if I think its soft to demand where you go on that small of a list, I think its soft to not play for a team that drafts you. This will be my last response as this is a cyclical discussion right now and us having opposite opinions. thanks for your feedback

yup now i have to come back because i can't help myself. I'm not dictating what others do, I have an opinion of what they do. If me making an article with ~25 words disagreeing with it and that is me DICTATING how others enjoy the game, then I have a lot more power than I thought, Thanos-esque. If you are going to just straw man your way in this, feel free. But to say I am "dictating?" Come on dude screw off and go patronize somebody else's opinion

It's bad because its different than yours? You creating logical fallacies about my characters and desires for the league has no correlation to my opinion that lists of 1 or 2 teams or stupid and I don't like them. I don't create straw man theories about people that like pineapple on pizza when I don't.

If you are going to "call it out" then don't just throw out words like "dictating" and not caring about user retention. Again, I don't know why it not being my "cup of tea" is such an egregious opinion, but if you want to PM me and discuss it thats fine, otherwise you are just trying to create a circus to try and prove has superior your opinion is.
