I felt like Aaron Reilly reading all of this as it went on but keeping silence. I realized I like being a loudmouthed mother fucker who has an opinion on mostly everything.

Plus, you undermined the league by putting 'cheaters' in the title of that thread. You decided to mockingly display that you made a scummy trade and got away with it. You also threatened to quit the league if Spence made a decision against you like a little punk pussy. Add all that on top of you making the scumbag trade and I certainly think you should be punished.

I made a series of trades that were loopholes in the rules and were legal but were deemed against the spirit of the rules and were voided. I've been in the league long enough to know this is Spence's world we just live in it.

I've been away over the last week but heres my take.
Obviously this deal is disgustingly terrible and also is detrimental to the league. BOTH teams should be punished. First of all, it was a massive form of tanking on behalf of Play which improved his pick whilst at the same time helping Martinez keep his job as GM. Both teams should be punished equally.
We had the loop-hole rule in the old BBS which would stop things like this. People are always going to find them so if it's not cut out right now, it's going to keep on happening. Both GM's knew how bad this trade was for the league (see title) so both should be punished equally.
I agree with Maniac.

Spence does what's best for the league. Nobody can dispute that.

Ya. This situation is pretty lame. I think Ill have to make a ruling and both teams will be punished. then im out fucking liar. You'll stay. This shit really shouldn't go through, but it's up to Spence. Technically, the deal should go through, but there's an ethical and intelligent part of our a brain (Martinez may be missing it), that let's us know what is right and wrong. And this is just ridiculous. That's seriously like trading 10 VET fas and then trading them for a player. Although some leagues may don't have a rule against the limit of FAs, you should have enough common sense to know something like that is illegal.

I've been in the league long enough to know this is Spence's world we just live in it. i was in the first bbs. i know this, but at some point people need to consider things intelligently. and if i was around when your trades were ruled against then i would have said the same for you. if it is legal then it should happen. the WORST thing sim leagues can do is have too many rules. my baseball sim leagues had almost no rules and they would last until we chose to end or restart them. we never had issues and kept pretty much the same 29 GMs around. the league where we had a lot of rules actually ended cuz of issues and the other ones never did. this trade or ruling obviously isnt going to end the league, but its stupid to punish something that isnt against the rules. it isnt fair to the GMs who were a part of the trade. im pretty sure if anyone who is bitching in this thread were the ones who thought of it or it benefited they would be pissed they were getting ruled against when no rule is even in place. i personally dont give a shit. im just waiting for someone to lose in their contract year so i can get a team. but i believe ruling against either team is lame and unfair.

Leagues don't end because there are too many rules. Leagues end when shit like this is allowed.
