I know Walt Disney ruins our league but - jack foley Oct 14, 14:45 61
- His team needs to be managed going forward but as for today, that's tough. I'm leaning towards saying what's best for the league is to allow the - Krusty Oct 14, 15:19 11
  - I should probably back off as it's not my league, but for the specific case of an abandoned team and adjusting to pre-game projections - Reagen Oct 14, 15:23
  - His utter lack of involvement has been noted for years now. -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 15:21 9
    - I cannot disagree with this. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:22
    - I didn't know he had quit completely and wasn't managing his team at all. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 15:21 7
      - Yeah, today was the first time I knew it was totally abandoned. I thought it was just apathy in getting lineups altered on Sunday. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:23 1
        
        This was my thought too - jack foley Oct 14, 15:26
      - He hasn’t actively managed a team in over a year. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 15:23 4
        
        That's not what I was told, and I'm pretty sure you're wrong. This type of blame game isn't helpful, either. Let's fix the problem rather than vent. -- nm - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 15:26 3
        
        For the third year running, as suggested by more than one Vampirate, the solution is boot him. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 15:30 2
        
        Let's agree that this player has quit, and move along. Let's not hash this out again. We can all agree it's a done matter. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:33 1
        
        I will say this again as it's my mantra. David and Kim do this for free. They get nothing but the praise when it works, and the headache when it - Bacon Oct 14, 15:36
- Respectfully, I'm supposed to act as caretaker when stuff like this happens. I hadn't realized he wasn't playing his team. - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 14:48 12
  - If you guys need a replacement manager, I can take over a team. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 15:27 3
    - I vote yes! It's not far to 8th place and a playoff spot at this point. But it's going to be a slog. - Bacon Oct 14, 15:28 2
      - I can take over next week if the league wills it. You guys decide somehow and let me know. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 15:34 1
        
        I'm ok with it, Thanks! -- nm - jack foley Oct 14, 15:38
  - Who’s already down a player? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 15:24
  - I had no idea you were doing this - jack foley Oct 14, 14:52 6
    - Okay, you and Bacon have voted against what I did. If four more Vampirates agree, I will happily undo it for this week. - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 14:54 5
      - Thx for giving us the right to overturn. I will contact the others for opinions. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 14:55 4
        
        Good. Just to be clear, I am 100% fine with whatever. Samara and NWBR are right about the competitive imbalance, and Foley is TOTALLY right to say... - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 15:03 3
        
        Thx for being reasonable. This doesn't affect me at all. I support the leagues vote on this. No hard feelings from me either way. I do support Jack Foley on this. -- nm* - Bacon Oct 14, 15:07 2
        
        I’m long on the record here on this team. The roster should remain as played “by Walt” this morning. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 14, 15:53
        
        fwiw, I’m Team Foley. -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 15:11
- No that should never happen. Ever, and David wouldn't do that either. Nobody is asking for that. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 14:46 35
  - If you are referring to Spawn's post, he was suggesting before the games started, alerting the commish to adjust the lineup. Even that is a slippery - Bacon Oct 14, 14:49 3
    - (you guys seem to be implying a much higher level of intervention than is being called for) -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 15:00 1
      - Right or wrong i have benched a defense based on what the current score in the afternoon was. To avoid losing to a -35 -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:01
    - If someone's gone for a week and forgets, that's one thing. We're talking about no one at the helm. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 14:59
  - (That's exactly what I did.) -- nm - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 14:48 30
    - You went in after the games started and altered lineups? -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 14:49 29
      - Yes. If the Vampirates don't want that, I can undo it. I'd need six votes either way. - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 14:52 22
        
        Here is the big problem. And I know you are trying to help. But last week he had Barber in a bye week as a starter. Do you go back last week and - Bacon Oct 14, 14:53 21
        
        I wouldn't change a past week, but you can't really strategize against an opposing team so I wouldn't argue that strongly against it - Reagen Oct 14, 14:56 1
        
        I 100% agree with your IM -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 14:57
        
        Like I literally just said, I almost did exactly that. - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 14:54 18
        
        I say we vote on this one. like you offered. And going forward we have intervention on Walt's team. - Bacon Oct 14, 14:56 17
        
        I just picked two people. This is a day where I had conveniently only watched the Falcons (and Haunted of Hill House). - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 15:01 16
        
        My only problem is not is not applying it consistently - jack foley Oct 14, 15:07 13
        
        I totally hear what you're saying. Here's the thing. I only learned about this an hour ago. - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 15:15 9
        
        LOL, I only learned about you being the commish 10 minutes ago -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:15 8
        
        You know I'm not Spawn, right? -- nm - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 15:16 6
        
        This is disconcerting. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 15:24
        
        Now I do -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:18 4
        
        Omg I told you that was David!!!!! -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 15:19 1
        
        I read that as you didn't know why Spawn was doing this. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:19
        
        Vampirates are the worst. - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 15:18
        
        BTW chatting with others on email a couple others didn't either -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:18
        
        My theory is David made a bet with you he was sure he would lose to pass the headache over to you. SUCKER!! -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:16
        
        The situation is not "just being busy", it's a guy apparently quitting. -- nm* - Reagen Oct 14, 15:08 2
        
        Yep and I say we start this moving forward. Does the Commish also drop and add players for him now? We need the answers before we start making chang -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:15 1
        
        Dropping and adding is too far, imo - Reagen Oct 14, 15:26
        
        I am not sure this is what Samara asked for either, but I will let her speak for herself. I have emailed her -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 15:03 1
        
        Great, if she withdraws the complaint, I'll happily readjust to take those players out of Disney's lineup. -- nm - Spawn Apparently Won a Bet Oct 14, 15:04
      - Abandoned teams are a larger problem that fixing lineups, especially with unbalanced schedules. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 14:52 4
        
        That's fine. But we have to decide this before the games start. Not after they are already over. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 14:54 3
        
        You set the roster based on pre-game expected point totals. It's consistent and fair. - Reagen Oct 14, 14:58 2
        
        Okay this is new to me. I still vote no on this one, but going further I am open to lineups being altered in a Quit Team scenario. - Bacon Oct 14, 15:00 1
        
        What would his opponent have done differently? -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 15:01
