I mean, right now my reaction is "i'm literally done playing right this second who wants to take my team' but i know i'm going to reconsider that, so

Yeah I remember sending reasonable offers to Art and watching him make a far worse trade to someone in his IRC channel or something it is super dumb

you always could've, you know, kept your offer in so I couldn't do that. it's what Jeff did during the McKay Ray saga. reverse engineering hasn't been a secret the entire time I've been playing this game so I'm not gonna apologize for adjusting my offer when I realized no one else was maxing him anymore

I didn't swoop, my BU signed last night and I took the lead at 3:30 a.m., I only adjusted before the last cycle when I checked to see if anyone else was maxing, and it was no secret to anyone who pays attention that I was in on Creek the whole time. My plan was transparent as poo poo. Also I took the risk of losing Creek if anyone sniped me, which was totally 100% possible with him not at a max, so

I'm not even /that/ mad at nasboat specifically for pulling it, it's well within his rights, i'm just saying that i'm tired of it happening and mad that the game makes it possible, which is why i want to make a league rule against it.

I would be all for WIS actually fixing the broken mechanic so that that sort of info isn't readily available; I think if we made a league rule, though, there's really no way to enforce it? Seems like it would completely be on the honor system.

if nothing else, maybe we can write up something in the OP for everyone that details max contract tiebreakers, the 'unofficial' signing deadline, and the fact that reverse engineering exists and can work for/against you in free agency? if we can't do something to change the mechanics or make a rule, the least we could do is at least make sure everyone is aware?

I would be in favor of that though as Nasboat mentioned, it would basically have to be on the honor system. That's fine by me, I don't have the patience or give-a-gently caress to game the system like that. But I am totally in favor of trying to eliminate some of the stupid tricks that are really frustrating in this game.

Seems like it would completely be on the honor system. It would mostly be on the honor system but in the cases that really actually matter it would be Extremely Obvious that such a thing happened. it's way less visible when you're saving half a mil or whatever on an RP but who really cares about that

One thing I did learn with this particular offseason: no matter how much money you offer a PC to be your bullpen coach, he'll take a ML PC job even at his base asking price. I led on 97 PC Julio Mieses as my BU coach for a few days with a 7.1m offer, until Los Angeles offered him a PC job.

I have enough confidence in this group as a whole that I don't think an honor system rule is unreasonable. I'm saltier about losing Quentin than I would be because I waited for his price to drop before making an offer, led on him without him signing immediately like offer drops often do, someone came in and trumped me, I took the lead again with my next offer, and then led for like four cycles uninterrupted until I lost him on the drop dead cycle. Ugh.

I think the real lesson here is that I'm just a loser who has way too much time and way too little responsibility to where I can actually waste time reverse engineering a loving fake baseball game

I mean, ultimately go nuts if you want. It would just be nice to not have to worry about that sort of chicanery when there are enough other ways HBD is incredibly loving annoying.

Oh gently caress you gardenald, I offered Blanco 5 years/$60M, with a player option and no-trade, and you beat me with 4 years/$51.5M plus a $10M bonus, a mutual, and no-trade. Suddenly I have extra money that idk what to do with
