No, I get what you're saying. That's why I said you're half rightRight but if other people traded, OU wouldnt be the only one making moves. He is involved in most trades people are going to want to improve their team, so I guess sit on your hands out of protest and let him get all the phat lootz.
People don't understand value and hold valuable pieces instead of trading them. @Karl Hungus is a prime example. I offered him basically a full team of elite players for Noda, but he said no. I'm sorry for my candor but that is stupid as hell. Nico/1-2/Darrach/3BJuarez for a single SS?
Seriously, that is why you guys toil around in mediocrity and I get predicted to win 115, I know I'm being smug know it all OU right now, but I think we have plenty of evidence across the UBL and WBL that what I do works. Sorry for your non shampship teams.
You're right. That's why I'm telling @Reel he should be trading. His system sucks (1 low tier Top 100 prospect) and he's years away from competing. He should be trading anyone of any value (Heigham, van de Loo, Kobayashi, Zhi, his entire OF, and maybe Blanc) away for picks or prospects that are 3-4+ years away.
When I first took over False Bay I pretty much cleaned house of anyone of value to try and restock my system in the early years. Now I fill holes through FA. Probably still won't beat you, but I should be deep in the playoffs for a long time to come.
Geez I was just asking to join and was told no.
Expand it to 20 and bring in @DeadMan @GatorTD @worst2first and @Bdub
If someone quits, we kick Yankee out and delete two teams and bring it down to 18.
I guess you just hate me then because I rarely get you to respond to a PM haha.I feel like I talk trade with someone every day haha. Not sure how much more active I can be
Didn't Gator have a team for 2 seasons and never do anything with it?
I really am.
With Australia, I keep feeling like I'm hitting a home run but obviously I was born on third. I'd rather start from scratch and build them up. I did that with Portland and it was hella fun.

I think it should come down to how seriously they are about joining.
If you think you want to join, but also think you might walk away after a season or two, it's probably best not to do it. But if you guys are actually willing to play, and stay a while, I'm definitely for expansion. OOTP kind of becomes another daily thing to do. It's not really a game you occasionally play while drunk on a Thursday night.
How will we know if we're going to stay or quit if we've never played with you guys before? I'm willing to give it a shot but you guys may turn out to be a bunch of assholes or the league may turn out to be boring as hell. It might also be great. I don't know but I know I can't tell you now how long I'm going to play without ever having been part of the league.

It's not the first time but it's not a big deal. If you really want to rebuild, trade with me haha.Sorry I didn't get back to you last night, destiny got the better of me.
I'm just scurred to trade away Paco
No really. No one else trades.
Also, @OU11 can't bitch about people not trading with him when he won't trade me Last Resort
Yeah and i understand that emotional attachment, but even if I offered a ton you probably wouldn't accept. That's what confuses me. It's not just you either.You ask for my best players and I'm not in tank mode. I'm open to trading but I just can't part with my core guys yet.
Never thought id see the day where 3 1st round picks had no valueI will, just not for your shitty picks.

You'll be 2nd in line if we expand (meaning you get a team). I just want to make sure nobody loses their will to play over the next seasonI'm serious about playing for a long time. Before I just got burned out being Bdub Selig. I also now have a laptop so easier for me to play.
You'll be fine, I'm beatable now. What I'm saying is if I just run my system ruthlessly I'd never lose. If I had kept Ruiz/Sally/Wong, what would my team look like? Wouldn't have the system I do, but I'd be set for 8 more shampships.
I try to go the other way and offer deals that I usually make (lots of assets for great players) but nobody wants to give up their prized one good player even if they get 4 back. I know emotional attachment is hard, b, but you gotta lettem go sometimes.
I really only have Okada/Torres/Karpet/Haamid/Juarez off the block because I think they can contend for records if they make it somewhat injury free. That's the game I play now, but everybody else can be had for the right price. That's how I've always operated.
