Then retract his team and one from the North (I'll volunteer as tribute) to bring the WBL back to it's original number. He has stepped over lines for far too long with seemingly no repercussions.
Do we start to take draft picks away? An entire draft if this keeps up? Or outright start deleting ML players for a 3rd offense? I know these are highly unlikely to pass, but I dunno what else to do.

This is what I mean by you two being the worst.Look, if you've played this game for any period in time you know that SOME BUM FAs will take a minor league deal when you offer them one. Someone as splerged out on this game as Wooly, the guy who sold draft picks to sign more IFAs despite having a top budget, assuming this is not the case is insane and a complete insult to the intelligence of Terri Schiavo. What he did was offer EVERYONE that would take one a MiLB deal so he didn't have to look through them and make a decision right then and there just in case there was someone good available he didn't want to miss. Surely you can see why that's a fuckstick thing to do, right?
The multiple seasons of having guys that were at worst AAAA level down in A to set HR records and win shampionships was bullshit but nobody seemed to be too heated about that other than me and Karl. Him signing anyone that would take a MiLB deal so he could separate the corn from the turd at a later date is just more of the fuckstick shit that clown does. By all means let's just chalk this up to more of the "Wooly being Wooly" that we're all used to and move on like he did nothing wrong.
Yeah this is pretty much it. I don't know what you want us to do? Punish people? For what exactly?We tell him to cut his fucking teams down and not act like he released everyone from his organization.

that was a lot of fun for me until it stopped every single night because somehow 3 people had pushed the limit on one of their teams
Yeah. I don't want to be doing the maintenance on every team. That's why we made it a soft cap. If we do a hard cap I'm cutting top prospectsthat was a lot of fun for me until it stopped every single night because somehow 3 people had pushed the limit on one of their teams

That is the plan. I just can't get to it until tomorrow's sim. I don't want all those guys on my teams. I did post this.We tell him to cut his fucking teams down and not act like he released everyone from his organization.
I think he moved them based on age, but didnt have time to go through and cut them. I am going to let this slide as a mistake, but @Wooly make some cuts ASAP. Everyone else, try to keep it under 40 in each level.
Ok 30.Shit I read this as 30. Either way the next few sims should have some decent minor league shuffles.
Yeah, Wooly is again just an oblivious 16 year old girl that means us no harm at all, let's take the word of his former cO-GM turned O-advocate.
The guy who 'doesn't care' about the minors signs 100 guys to fill the minors then puts 97 guys on a team you have to move players to.Yeah, Wooly is again just an oblivious 16 year old girl that means us no harm at all, let's take the word of his former cO-GM turned O-advocate.
Holy fuck. The number of signings was the mistake. Moving players was to try to get them closer to an appropriate level for age. He didn't have time for cuts.The guy who 'doesn't care' about the minors signs 100 guys to fill the minors then puts 97 guys on a team you have to move players to.
Are people this stupid to believe this was all just a mistake? Guess so.

What is the point of your post? Do you think this was malicious? What do you want? For him to be kicked out? If we kicked out every asshole the league would have no owners.
I'd still be here!
Lately, I'm not so sure...
Who doesn't?Wooly consistently breaks the dont be a dick rule when it comes to the game.
That went beyond complaining.Complaining about wooly has to be done atleast once every season.
Who doesn't?
That went beyond complaining.
The dick rule transcends the game, man.Well, we are all dicks on here. But not so much IN GAME.
As for his post, i cannot answer.
Also, that sim...i loved that sim. Four shutouts...beautiful man
The dick rule transcends the game, man.
No K update?
I posted specifically I don't want him kicked out. I have no problems with wooly and was one of the few who supported him on the A-ball thing. Hell you and I even argued whether winning matters in devo and I didn't think it is related to 34 year olds in A-ball.Holy fuck. The number of signings was the mistake.

He didn't say that though. He said he had no idea they would sign and then he didn't have time to decide who to cut and keep.I posted specifically I don't want him kicked out.

Although if you look a this team he has some insanely good players who were cheap IFA signings or late picks which has started to make me think twice about winning mattering in devo (although thats a story for another day...)
The point of the post is don't insult the rest of us by saying I got 97 players on AA on mistake. I had no problem with signing 100 guys but when they're assigned you can't say you had no idea. Also don't post 'I don't give a shit about having players/minors' WHEN YOU SIGN 100 PLAYERS.
It makes the game a lot less fun for me and others who are looking for 3-4 MLFA types to fill holes or might end up having a chance to be a filler-type WBL player. That's actually one of my favorite parts of the game -- signing MLFA that you think may help at some point.
I understand and don't mind the signing part or offering a ton of guys. You don't know who will sign.He didn't say that though. He said he had no idea they would sign and then he didn't have time to decide who to cut and keep.
I understand why it upset people, which is why he will make cuts. Saying something like, "are we just going to pretend it's a mistake," implies that we should punish him or something.

I was talking to dohI don't for one second believe this. SOME BUM FAs almost always take MiLB offers, especially from decent teams. There is zero chance he didn't know this.
i was commissioner for multiple real life years and did it, so there is definitely more than zero chanceI don't for one second believe this. SOME BUM FAs almost always take MiLB offers, especially from decent teams. There is zero chance he didn't know this.
I totally understand that you signed too many. That's fine-- I have zero problem with it. But that's a lot to do for someone who keeps saying 'I dont give a damn about minors'.@doh , you might be misunderstanding me.
Having all those players sign was the mistake. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to fix the mistake. As soon as I saw that all those players had signed, I was a couple of hours from leaving on my trip. I didn't have any time to go through the players and cut all the extras. That said, I didn't want to leave them all in A ball either, in case someone saw I had tons of 30yo players and freaked out. I also needed to get all my minor league teams set up. Since I could not fix the mistake before leaving, the best thing I could do was to quickly sort them by age and put them into AA and AAA, then have the AI setup the teams. So yes, I did know I was putting a lot of players into AA and AAA teams, but I was doing it because I didn't have time to deal with all those extra players that signed. I knew I would have to go through and cut tons of players when I got back from my trip. In order to quickly sort the players, I just chose some age cut offs that seemed to make sense. Everyone 25 or younger stays in A ball, everyone else up to 29 into AA ball, and then everyone over 30 into AAA. I didn't have time to get into it more than that. I got back late last night, and had to work late tonight to catch up. Now is the earliest I have had to deal with the problem.
Does that make sense? Do you see why I ended up with so many players in AA and AAA, instead of just A ball? I did post this explanation previously, I did explain how I got so many players into AA and AAA teams.
I certainly don't want all those players, there is no reason anyone would. There is no advantage to it, and it's not like anyone thinks 97 players in AA would go unnoticed either. Do you think I was purposely putting 97 players into AA ball, and thought people wouldn't notice or say anything?
They aren't MLFA if they are on your 40-man.
