After seeing the continued passive-aggressive and petty sniping in the messages, I'm quitting. I am leaving this entire message board and I'd wish you the best of luck, but from what I've seen, I don't think you'd know what to do with it. My suggestion is to leave my picks alone or try to replace me because there isn't a fair way to redistribute them. Maybe some of you see this as silly. That's because it is. It's almost as silly as complaining that somebody who is competing against you appears to be trying to disrupt your plans, thus stopping you from winning.
At the suggestion of one of the parties involved (feel free to step forward if you want to take credit for this idea) there will be a trade round after Round 20. This should allow the rectification of the current situation. I will not be altering anybody's picks (though it was suggested) due to the inherent unfairness of taking away somebody's picks, letting somebody pick twice to make it up the lost pick, and/or preventing somebody else from picking to make up for the extra wrestler they just got. I would like to clarify a few things.
1) The reason there was no specific rule written regarding tag teams or stables was that it seemed unnecessary. Once one member of a team is taken, there are pretty much three directions it can go: A) this person was so associated with his partner that the partner's draft stock sinks significantly in everybody else's eyes (Road Warriors, Bushwackers, or Nasty Boys for example), B) direction A, but only applying to the partner (example: Marty Janetty is not worth as much without Shawn Michaels to team with), or C) the partner still had a well known singles career (or was famous for more than one team like Billy Gunn) and you have to be prepared that somebody else might have an idea for the partner.
2) This is a friendly competition, but the operative word is "competition". If you reveal your plan to 15 people whose primary or secondary goal involves you losing, you should definitely have a plan B. My original plan involved a tag team barbed wire match with a team that I'm probably not going to draft anymore because I erroneously believed that Sabu would be on the table for two or three more rounds than he was. The ability to pivot when things are going wrong is the mark of a champion.
That's got to be the smartest thing I've read all day. Given that I'm on the clock, I'll have us going again in less than five minutes,
