Very Well.
Jason Kidd - 4th in the league in Assists last year. Shot 42.5% from 3pt land. Pulled down 5.6 Reb a game. Most rebounds by a PG in the league last year. 1.8 steals. 3rd most steals by a PG in the league last year. shot 81% from the line. He was weak at FG% where he shot 42.3%, and he doesn't score a lot (too busy facilitating for the rest of his teammates), but overall, he's clearly better than a 77.

How am I a hypocrite? What? Am I trying to screw the league over?
I'm surprised that you are even running this league. If it wasn't for TB's sensible mind, we would be simming 1 day everyday and we wouldn't have finished the season until next March.
You fucking cried and bitched until you got your way. Using your power as "co-commish" to bitch your way into getting that deal instead of taking the time to restructure it. It took several people for you to "restructure" the deal, in which you gave up some shitty guy rated a 62 who you convinced everyone would become a good player b/c he was drafted in the late 1st rd.

You have a poll but your post suggests that the change is taking place. Maybe you need to learn how to post so that people don't get confused by your thoughts. Nobody can read your thoughts, we can read the words that you type. Maybe instead of assuming (incorrectly) that we meant we have decided already, and starting this whole ruckus, you could simply ask/say "it looks like you guys are suggesting Ratings changes are going to happen mid-season. Is this so?" At which point I would say again, "no, it is just an option in the poll. I anticipate the Rating Change suggestions flowing in throughout the season, but also wanted to get this started now, because I know people do not agree with a lot of the ratings from the start of the league. I also feel plenty of ratings are off, so why not get started now with some suggested changes?" Wouldn't that have been a whole lot nicer?

Hypocrite comment was based on first your apparent Love of Kidd, and then when I mention him saying I am doing this for myself, when in fact I posted it as someone i thought a lot of people would agree upon, based on the public support of his rating going up less than a month ago. The rest of that is just crap that we've hashed over before, I'm done with it, and I'd rather have my post right before this one just end the off-track comments in this thread as well.

My love for Kidd? I'm glad you love to put words into my mouth but I have never tried to trade for Kidd. I never asked for Kidd, never wanted Kidd, never inquired about Kidd, so where does my love for Kidd come from oh wise one?
The Kidd deal was based on your fucked up deal you made. Kidd is way way way way superior to Eddy Curry and 62 rated garbage you convinced everyone of. That was what I was saying. Everyone knows that GM could have gotten way better. I don't think Kidd is awesome but he sure as fuck was good enough for the Dallas GM to not get robbed in that deal. His rating is fine. But I know you are quick to try and increase his rating so that you can trade him sooner. Your cat and mouse games are getting old.

You are simply amazing. I never said you tried to trade for him, where do you get this stuff?
You are also completely ignoring the salary cap issues, which in a league like this...well I think you know how important they can be. There is really no need to bring up all this bad blood again, and I'm trying to stop it, but you won't let it go. Again, I am done talking about that, so let's just stop. Any more comments on it from you will be ignored by me as we've both said more than enough on it in the past.
BTW, I was asked to be an Admin in this league b/c I work my ass of in these leagues to help them run. Been in them for at least 4 years and have been at least a Committee Member in every single league I've ever been in (gotta be at least 10 leagues).
I'm usually pretty level-headed too, but certain things really irk me, and you seem to have a grand combination platter of these traits that get to me. Congrats.
I'm done fighting with you. Stop.

Well I'm glad you know when it's time to call it quits. We'll see if that's really the case after this next post I make.
You want to change the rules around in midstream. First, you decided not to allow any of our players' ratings to change. I was the #1 advocate of this in the first 2 days when I joined. But then I realized that every team had some players with ratings lower than they should have been so I didn't mind and let the issue go.
Now, you want to, and I know you want to b/c I know you voted for the midseason option, to start changing player's ratings to screw up the balance of the league.
Although every team would benefit, SOME WOULD BENEFIT MORE THAN OTHERS B/C SOME TEAMS WOULD GET BIGGER RATINGS INCREASES THAN OTHER TEAMS. YOU DON'T SEEM TO COMPREHEND THE SIMPLE LOGIC BEHIND ANYTHING.
You just talk and talk and talk and play these cat and mouse games. Even considering to change the rules in the middle of the season shows how ill-equipped you are to be a commish.

Not going to take blame for things I didn't do. So here we go.
#1 - As I've stated before, I was with you on putting in more ratings changes Philly. Don't blame me for stopping them at the start of the season, that was Brad's decision
#2 - This whole thread was Portland's idea. He asks me to post stuff for him from time to time, and this was one of them. He asked to put a poll in that had either mid-season or off-season, and I added the "both" option. He told me he thought midseason would be better, which he posted right up above in this thread I believe. I personally like to keep things realistic, so if ratings are off, it makes the league feel off to me. That's why I voted for both, but that's just my opinion, no need to get your panties in a bunch.
#3 - I understand the logic, I just think it's faulty. Again, I believe the league should be as accurate as possible. If some managers focus on getting young up-and-coming players, and they do it well, shouldn't they be rewarded for that and get the ratings increase their players deserve? If other managers trade or have old players on the decline, they should expect their ratings to go down. Just my opinion, I don't mind if people think otherwise, which brings me to the next point.
#4 - If the league supports only Offseason changes, I have no problem supporting that and going with it. That's why there is a poll. I'm not trying to enforce my will here, or anything weird like that. There is a poll, whatever that decides we roll with.
Stop blaming all of the league's "troubles" on me. If you want to be mad at me about anything, the only thing you can be mad at me about is the Kidd thing. Everything else is not on me. I'm sick of being the scape-goat for shit I did not do.

Yea exactly, for the shit that you did not do to adequately prepare for any hardship that the league might go through. For that, you are at fault.
If you aren't at fault, then who is?

What the hell are you talking about lol. This is Brad's league. I offered to do bitch work basically. I made all the boards and sub-boards and keep rosters updated on this message board and other bitch work. I am not the simmer or the head admin. I am not the idea man. I have already told you who had the ideas you blame me for.

You see that title under your name: "Administrator."
You tell me what that means. Does that mean slave or bitch work? That sounds like a professional title for someone who has major responsibilities within the league.
So you are blaming TB for everything then? Leaders don't blame others, they look at themselves and try to figure out how they can improve themselves. There was a lot you could have done while TB was on hiatus. It took a little pressure for you to finally do something but I think it was TB who found Portland anyways.

ok everybody, chill. first off, you cant change the ratings in the middle of the season. i agree that we need to have some offseason changes. i vote 2 a team. thats not drastic and people wont ask everyone to change everyone, but its enough to make a difference...i feel that might be easier

I'm chill, I'm calm. I just think when someone is the administrator like his title says, he should take ownership in the issues with the league. You aren't the simmer? So what? Knicks saw the league was on its last legs but all he did was just sit there and do nothing. Knicks logged on everyday but never said 1 word, never tried to figure out what was going on, never tried to take action.
If not for the pressure that I and a couple others put, Knicks would've been fine with the death of the league.
But w/e, he'll give u a different story. League is going better now and that's what matters.

If the ratings change it shouldn't be done by opinion (wich will inevetibly be subjective). What Pistons suggested could work, but I fear it will be pointless. Because there is a bigger difference between a 90 rated player that becomes a 95 rated player then a 65 rated player that becomes a 70 rated player. So everyone will probably upgrade their best 2 players no matter what their stats are in real life.
My suggestion: if a player has 25%(could be voted upon) more PPG in real life then he has in the simulation he gets a boost: +10 off. and deff. awareness (just an example).
This way we avoid constant discussion on who is overrated/underrated, people will be active because they have keep on eye on their players stats and the game will be more realistic. It will also give an edge to knowledgeable posters because you can predict breakout seasons or gamble in the draft and be rewarded.
If a player increases his RPG while his PPG stays the same, that's just bad luck. But it still applies to everyone wich makes it FAIR.
I think the best way is to work with percentage and a minimum. For example: if Dwight gets 5 more PPG that's more impressive then Durant getting 5 more PPG. Or if someone goes from 1PPG to 2PPG thats a 100% raise but that shouldn't warrant 4 boosts.
Discuss.
