Asher. If you wanted to walk away, so be it - you didn't need to throw the league into upheaval by dumping all of your players.

It's not upheaval, you guys can figure out which players you want and everyone gets an equal 7 points by playing me.

for the record, the only thing I did in this thread (and every other NHL thread) was insinuate that Asher was a crybaby for quitting... (which I think was reasonable under the circumstances)...

I want to make it PERFECTLY CLEAR, that nowhere in this thread or any other NHL thread did I ever personally attack Asher before he quit... EVER... You can go back and read the threads if you don't believe me. I never called him any names... nothing... the only thing I insulted was the Calgary Flames pathetic team, and how they would suck without Kiprusoff

You're fine, Sava, that's what is supposed to happen with hockey bickering. You insulted the team and not me, and that's how it's supposed to be.

[Sava]

so it's final?

you are quitting?

I'm willing to share my Yahoo account with somebody (ie, Tingkai) if they promise not to touch my other Yahoo pools. I'll put my team back together tomorrow (it won't let me now since they're on waivers), then see who wants to take over.

This is a classic example of why I don't play in apolyton leagues anymore... I would prefer to play with people who will play the whole season and don't drop out, and screw up the leauge for everybody else. And that's why I play in the FFZ fantasy leagues

It's a big price to pay, considering FFZ is full of pretentious tw*ts who banned me for disagreeing with all of the right-wing nonsense over there.

[Kontiki]

Is FFZ league banter something like "the Flames lost - we should nuke France"?

okay... if someone else takes your team over, that would be okay with me...

I just don't want to see another inactive team in the league...



Ming: yeah... this is why I don't play fantasy sports in general...

[KrazyHorse]

Everybody in this league sucks balls except me.

At least in the sports forums... people who play in fantasy leagues realize that they are making a commitment... and won't screw with everybody else by dropping out and then adding insult to injury by releasing their players... I would rather deal with twits like that then people that do what you are doing with this league... but I guess you are just going to take your ball and go home... again, this is why I stay away from leagues here.

[Ninot]

once again, i'd be willing to do it, and I promise Asher on penalty of whatever he wants to leave his other teams alone.

but if someone else wants it, let them have it.

I realize it was a bad move to release the players, that's why I'm fixing it now by adding them back and then giving the team to someone else to use.

Holy ****! I go away for 2 weeks to Pakistan and Asher becomes even more of a whiny ***** than when I left?! WTF?! You NEVER decide to 'waive' your entire team when you get tired of playing. That is a seriously dick move and ruins a league. If you don't want to play, you don't play. That means your team stays an intact shell, with no moves, but everyone stays. That way it doesn't turn into waiver wire wars to see who wins the league!

edit: though I see you are atoning for that error in judgment... good call.

Yep... sums up you walking away from a commitment perfectly. and releasing your players was just bush league... even if after you see the crap you are taking you decide to change it back.
