Uh, this ain't a troll. I'm unhappy with how the BAPAY rule is written down. I find it unclear. I'm frustrated by it and would like to change it if the other players agree.How does one bully a troll?
If they don't, then I'll keep this for myself so that I don't confuse myself trying to understand the rule.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

You can't out-waiver me. You've demonstrated conclusively that you're a casual fan at best. I know of the backups that people like you have never heard of.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

It seems to me that the rules as written by JRabbit are not precisely clear, but that everyone else is able to work them through to determine the correct BAPAY (though as you have pointed out Berzerker used the wrong column in his post, and Jrabbit used the wrong draft, neither of them got the wrong position, it seems that the is the difficulty only you are having, and the one you are trying to correct in your rules revision).
While I would have no problem with a revision to the rules to make them more clear (and unlike Jrabbit I don't think it would be a problem as we are not "changing" the rules, merely clarifying them), I don't think it is necessary.

I don't like to have my guy sitting at the top of the BAPAY. If he says, BAPAY me a QB, I'm done.Cutting this from the other thread....because I think you are still missing something. Berz has only one QB, you are right there, but there is no way he would be BAPAYed a 2nd QB at this point in the draft (Round 11).
I'm trying to correct what I feel can be improved, and clarified. That is all. I believe that if I'm struggling with it then it can be made better. Perhaps I'm in the minority of this, but that's where I'm coming from.It seems to me that the rules as written by JRabbit are not precisely clear, but that everyone else is able to work them through to determine the correct BAPAY (though as you have pointed out Berzerker used the wrong column in his post, and Jrabbit used the wrong draft, neither of them got the wrong position, it seems that the is the difficulty only you are having, and the one you are trying to correct in your rules revision).
And that's why we are having this discussion.While I would have no problem with a revision to the rules to make them more clear (and unlike Jrabbit I don't think it would be a problem as we are not "changing" the rules, merely clarifying them), I don't think it is necessary. Again, it's entirely up to everyone else. If they feel it's unnecessary, fine.

Ben
if you were aggravating multiple people this might be hilarious-- instead I sympatyze with Jrabbit. I have never done a football draft but I understood those rules. So far no one else has said anything other than they understand them.
Ben on your logic, if I said "Pick a number from 1 to 5 (1,2,3,4,5)" would you feel compelled to pick number 1??You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Oh, they are understandable, just not as written.So far no one else has said anything other than they understand them.
Let me see if I can explain.Ben on your logic, if I said "Pick a number from 1 to 5 (1,2,3,4,5)" would you feel compelled to pick number 1??
Pick a number (1,2,3,4,5)
In this order, pick (6,7,8,9,10)
JR is not very good at what is called templating. One of the things I have to actually do in my job (both as a teacher and as a data processor), is to take stuff and put it in an order that avoids ambiguity. This also makes me a decent editor.
If I were doing a professional edit of JR's rules, that is how I would write them.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

If someone asks for a positional bapay and the bapay is applied inaccurately, do they still get to change it?Comment
