Stratomatic Civil War

[GlenBrummer]

In the interest of full disclosure due to a messup with my login, I have two names and was the one who registered as the 12th team--2008 Yankees under a separate name I own. I did this at the very last moment in order to preserve the draft but it back fired as it was too late to start.

So everyone knows, I own both the dogtown doggies and the 2008 yankees. I plan on using a completely different strategy for each team and will not dump or throw games to the other team. The disclosure is here for all to beware. I did at the last moment b/c I had set aside that time for the draft and when no one else entered I wanted to get draft going.

Sorry but done with good intentions. I figured it draft did not go, I could withdraw but i cannot withdraw one of the names now.


Just feel I should disclose this.

I appreciate your honesty. We will deal with this after we get through the rescheduling of the live draft as there is nothing that can be done at this point that doesn't screw up everyone else.

I hope to be able to reschedule this ASAP. Right now based upon the feedback, I am leaning towards this coming tuesday the 24th at 8PM.

tuesdays at 8 works 4 me ( 1 guy 2 teams ?) u make the call on that 1

[junkfood johnny]

i dont have a problem with the guy with two teams. i only ask he doesnt trade players between teams. as far as tuesday, thats the worst possible day for me.

[GlenBrummer]

Thx junkfood I won't.

I wouldn't disclose if I was going to cheat. As said, the strategies for each team will be different. One will be an experiment for me with a strategy I have never used.

[RWhite411]

First...it's against the rules.

Second...even if he doesn't trade between the two teams, protecting one team could cause him to trade or not trade with the other.

I'm not saying boot him out. I just think he should be scrutinized.

This league is turning into a soap opera.

shall we pelt him with rocks?

[GlenBrummer]

Look I was set on the draft at the allotted time. I waited until it seemed like we would not fill up and then spent the money to make the draft go.

Had I not disclosed it, no one would have known. My intentions were good--forked over $25 to make the draft go after advertsing on the baords to no avail. .

I am personally leaning toward autodrafting one team and ignoring it. I will atodraft and ignore the second team unless the majority here says go ahead AND no one strenuosly objects. By that I mean if someone feels very strongly against my playing two teams, say so and you can veto the second team regardless of vote. I have alread received two credits so no biggie.

Up to you all. If someone strongly objects or there is general leaning against it, I will just set one team on autodraft and ignore it. If I do draft for a the second team--which would be the dogtown doggies--as said I will be adopting a strategy I have never used. A small ball no power team. I doubt it will work for me as I've never tried that strategy before so i don't think that team will contend well anyway.

Last if you do pelt me with rocks will you pelt my new name--danbloom or my regular name GlenBrummer. Don't pelt Brummer he is sensitive.

[RWhite411]

...I don't feel strongly about it one way or another. Let's get the draft set.

Then again, the idea of actually pelting someone with rocks sounds like a great way to take out some frustrations.

[jwr0223]

First, we are not pelting anyone with rocks, it's not like he works for AIG or is a current member of Congress. Second, the autodraft thing makes sense to me. He can set one team for autodraft and live draft the other. The only thing, to avoid any conflict, is that there can be no mixing of players. Which means that once a player has been on one of his rosters he is ineligible to be on the other. Therefore, no trades, no dropping of players by one team and picking up by the other. That should take care of any issues.

I believe that the doggies intentions were pure in that he just wanted to get the league going like we all did.

Now as far as the draft, based upon the feedback I have received so far I am leaning towards setting the draft for this Wednesday at 8PM ET.
Unless there is a major reason that we should not do it at that time, I will hit the reset button tomorrow and schedule it for Wednesday.
