If you or any member of the league, or anyone thinking of joining this league want to look at them, I will send them to you.

If my team had been playing someone else in the playoffs and he made roster changes to my team to sim it would be easier to take. If another team was named as having the best offer from the free agent when email to 3 teams say otherwise, it would be easier to take. If yet another team had their email deleted it would be easier to take, but it is always the commissioners team that these events happen with. I gave him a second chance and he blew it.

Thank you for making this public. Honestly, i wish you would have done them after the first incident.

Again, hearing these facts (unless The Commish can refute them) i don’t blame you for stepping down. But, hearing these facts, if i were going to step down, i would have stepped down over the FA incident.

After the second incident sounds like sour grapes to me; so i’ll give the commish a second chance, now.

Online leagues can be a great source of fun. It seems like you had fun in this league, at least up until the FA incident; and perhaps for a short time afterwards. i hope you can find a commish you can trust and continue to enjoy OOTP and online leagues.

i am not one to get into flame wars. i merely responded here as interested member of the league. i did not intentionally insult you. i did not intentionally call you any names. i did not call you a liar. (And if i did offend you in any way, i apologize now, publicly.) i merely wanted to gather the facts.

With that this will be the last time that i respond in this thread. If there is more you wanted to add, you may. And, i will definitely take them into consideration.

Peace

Ok I was really not going to post anymore on this but I will take just one more crack at it.
No matter what i say at this point there is now this "shadow" cast upon myself and the league, so I think Michael has been successful in whatever is was he is trying to accomplish.
As for the free agent "incident" until this thread I didn't even know we had a free agent "incident"
The post Dark Horse quoted asked me to stop deleating my e-mails, I have always tried to meet the requests of the GM's in my league so I said I would. I did in fact sent Michael a PM in which (I am paraphrasing here because it has been a long time and I don't remember exactly what I wrote) I said I would stop deleting e-mails but wondered why such a request was being made of me.
Michael replied saying he uses the other teams e-mail to see who is bidding on a player.
I really didn't think anything else of it, my reasoning was "Well that's fair since everyone else can see each other's e-mail I should not delete mine until after I zip the file" and that's what I started doing.
I strikes me as a almost funny that I am being called into question for cheating in the free agent bidding. I don't build my teams this way, I never have. As I pointed out in my last post of my 25 man roster there are only 3 players that I signed via Free agent bidding, a 5th starter, a MR and my starting third Baseman. and of note the starting third baseman was only signed because my drafted 3B suffered a CEI the season before, otherwise i would have only those two pitchers. I would say 75% of my team is from the draft and then a few players I traded for with other Human GM's
Again, as I stated before, I have never cheated, never will, but I am saddened that it appears that all my hard work in this league can be raked over the coals by one pissed off guy.
I don't know how to respond to this whole "e-mail" thing. Here is how I bid. I open the game, Import all files from server, go to my team, bid, sim ,zip, post. I have always done it this way and still do. As for the playoffs, I just checked and Michael did in fact export to start the post season. I posted on our league forum on 11-29-06 with the playoff schedule, On 11-30-06 Baton Rouge submitted their last export (this taken from the "import files from server screen" ) the first playoff sim was run on 12-1-06 so he did export, by the way in our playoff series I faced his #1 starter, his #2 starter, his #3 starter, and his #5 starter. That number 5 starter was 9-3 with a sub 2.5 ERA on the regular season. In the game his #5 pitched 8 innings and gave up 1 run for the no decision
This is really very depressing. Thanks to dark horse for taking the time to make all the posts that he did.

I've been an owner in the league since it started, as the owner of Louisville. There's hasn't been problems of this sort in the entire history of the league, and I'd say it's been run well. Sure, the Commish has had computer problems in the past which has led to some breaks, but we're simming on his schedule, and not ours. In fact, he's rather flexible about simming schedules around the holidays. As for the free agent thing: in v6, I often got emails telling me that I had made the best offer to FAs that I wasn't even going after, so it's hard for me to say whether it was something shady going on, or just a mistake by the game or posting process of the file. In the past, I was away during the whole of the FA period. The league didn't stop then, and I'd say that was a pretty important part to miss since I was going to attempt to sign some FAs. If the league didn't stop and wait for me then, I don't see why I would now.

You know, I think Commish took my wallet! And on Christmas! Figures, I heard his name attached to the whole JFK thing...

Come on, people, stop wasting your time on this crock. It's a great league and good luck doing better. Hopefully, this whole saga will scare away the morons and we'll keep getting good people in.
