No worries.

For the record, I don't like two-for-ones. Just two-for-two and include whichever bad player is at the bottom of their roster, then drop em yourself.

quote:

RULE 3 - Trade Take-Backs 2-Day Evaluation Period
The purpose of this rule is to encourage trade speculation but support fair trades. I will never unilaterally veto a trade unless I am somehow able to determine that its purpose is to disrupt the balance of the game on purpose. If both managers want to do the trade, they can do it. Even if it makes people mad. However, I need to provide some outlet for the persons who get mad about trades, because in many cases their complaints have merit. So here's the deal: If you can convince either side of a trade that they are making a bad trade, and they wish to cancel it, they can. I leave veto or 'take-back' power in the hands of the individuals making the trade. Another consequence of this rule is its implications towards player injuries that happen during the trade review period. If the injury happens after the trade has been accepted and the review period has already started, you're stuck with it - both sides lose their veto right. If the injury happened before the trade was accepted, both sides have the right to veto. I am aware that this logic is somewhat circuitous but I've thought it through and to me it's the best way to prevent common abuses.

I decided I wasn't getting enough back so I withdrew. Because I was within two days of the trade being accepted and no injuries occurred during the review period, I was able to veto. Everyone has this right so make sure to use it when you need to.

Ah, ok. I didn't read carefully enough that that was the rule. Just assumed it was like fantasy football where either the other members or the the commissioner just decide against a trade.

Also, T-Shirts accomplished something by taking down the single-week blocks record. But he's not in this thread and honestly who likes him anyway?

They are delicious Central Asian dumplings called "mantu." These are an Afghan variation filled with seasoned ground lamb and topped with yogurt, tomato-stewed veggies, garlic and fresh mint. It's a minor drive for me to get these in Pasadena but nevertheless I will reward myself with a plate of mantu.

I've had seasons like this and a at a certain point recourse just isn't coming. You're a snakebit champion. Keep grinding and I'll try to put another ding in BGI this week (although I am off to a poor start).

It's been more of a subdued thread this year, only reaching two pages. However the competition has been stiff. I think everyone out of the playoffs could have a pretty good tournament (if they were all setting lineups).
