Hans Gruber would disagree

Jackie's Treehorns's trade block has been updated!
-
that being said, i will be looking to make some trades once i get a handle on the team so keep an eye on my trading block and feel free to send over any offer, any time!
-
hello all...im taking over MouseRats. will probably rename them even tough its a pretty bad ass name. the team has been performing well but i have a lot of work to do if i am going to hit even the min IP and fill out a complete lineup
-
Introducing our new owner...
-
However, I've tried to contact him twice in the past 2 weeks and haven't received a reply, so at this point I doubt he really cares. I'll be working over the next couple days to coordinate bringing in our new owner.
-
Domo and I have been in contact with Niv about the MouseRats situation. He agrees with our assessment that replacing him would be best for the league and if he raises a fuss about paying for the team he can have a refund if he asks for it.
-
Not looking like I'll come anywhere near that this year. :)
-
That's a crazy number of points.
-
I had 78 and got smoked in 2nd
-
It was 90+
-
How many points did Sodo end last year with? 91?
-
let me ask this, when was the last time anyone heard from him or saw evidence of him checking his team?
-
If he doesn't even bother to respond to your email asking whether he wants to stay in the league, then it doesn't seem like he's really interested ... I'd say replace, if possible (presumably he paid the yearly renewal fee, so I'm not sure how that works.
-
Ohhh, this being my first year in the league I didn't know I couldn't play the first year in the league card
-
Escape Pod, first place teams can't play the "first year in the league" card.
-
Can I change my vote to replacing him after the season? If that team's in 4th w/o being managed I don't need more competition! (Just kidding)
-
I'm only ok if MouseRats says so.
-
I abstain, just because I don't know his history as an owner, so I'm not in a position to cast judgment.
-
I'm in favor of replacement.
-
to that mission statement. For me, not dignifying my email with a response is the same as permission to find a replacement owner. Until that deadline passes, so far I have Ghost Man, Taco, Rye, and DJIB in favor.
-
he would be more active this year. Clearly that has not been the case, so if a majority of the league is in favor of replacing him that's what we'll do. Like Domo said, we want to maintain the health of the league and an inactive owner is contrary
-
Basically I emailed him and said there was some talk of replacing him and wanted to let him know his team was really good considering his half-filled lineup. We were on the verge of replacing him before this season but he replied last minute and said
-
im for replacing inactive, non-responsive owners
-
I'm all for replacing MouseRats if he gives the OK, but he paid for the team. If he wants to punt the season, that's his right, even if it sucks for the league.
-
no but i'll give him a week. in the meantime, if the rest of the league can weigh in on replacing him midseason, we'll be ready to go if he never gets back to me.
-
so, has anyone heard from MouseRats?
-
Thank you Domo for putting all that far more eloquently than I ever could.
-
And for the record I know my team sucks, but it's also finished 4th and 2nd over the last 2 years. 16 players with DL stints in the first 2 months will do that to you, including 3 of my 4 highest paid players (Heyward, Greinke and Price).
-
And I can sympathize with Rye being upset because of the way it was handled, but there wasn't really an ideal way to take care of it being the administrative limitations we're afforded in the commissioner tools.
-
We've credited people that purchased duplicate players, players with the same names that were obviously meant to be someone else and we've put players back into live auctions that went thru because of bad connections to the server.
-
It's honorable that Mess was willing to live with the results, but that's not the kind of league I want to be a part of where we rely on technicalities or flaws in the system that benefit people. How many auctions have we reset in 3 years?
-
..knowingly agree to something.
-
We're mutually interested in the health of the league, he was well within his powers to ask. When Mess stated he did not see the loan, the trade was dead in the water to me - period. I would reset any trade if someone accidentally clicked or did not...
-
Apologize for my absence, busy holiday weekend. I started the deal in asking for an angle on the trade on the board, and Urbina did nothing malicious in asking Mess what his plan was.
-
all of this, of course, is dependent upon if he responds to the emails the commish sent. if he wants to stick around, of course he stays. but if he isnt managing or doesnt care, i think its best to have an active owner
-
i do have a friend that is interested. i didnt mean to rush or kick him out forecefully or anything. it just seems apparent he isnt managing. perhaps we can work out a way where the new person reimburses him for what he paid?
-
Urbina's Farmhands's trade block has been updated!
-
I emailed him last night when Taco first proposed it. He'll get a chance to come back but it wouldn't hurt to have someone lined up anyway. Taco, I believe you said you had someone interested?
-
doesn't respond to the direct email in a week, then I would be in favor of replacing him. It would at least give someone a change to set up the team for next year.
-
While it would be nice if we could replace MouseRats, I'm not sure if we can do so without his consent. He did pay for the team, and I would be pissed if I got booted even if I wasn't paying attention. Has one of the commishes sent him an email? If he
-
I think MouseRats should be replaced ASAP. He won't hit the minimum IP as it stands, half his lineup his empty. No reason to let the team sit dormant for a full year
-
I'm all for replacing mouse rats ASAP.
