I'd actually like it better if fighton reversed all of Darky's trades including mine.  I'd like to try to win the league based on my awesome drafting, not from taking advantage of Darky's insane trade offers.

[nomaaa]

ill take the blame for some of this.

sorry we sniped their punk asses week one, everybody.

[Shooty]

If the trade stands, my new line up is:

Whitaker 837
Brunansky 906
McGwire 942
Schmidt 891
Baylor 924
Henderson 879
Schofield 861
Pena 807

I say let it stand! Fans of the Shootys love it.

This may be shocking, but whether this trade stands or is overturned will not affect my day-to-day life at all.  I abstain.

On board with that. I've made a mockery of things here and got too addicted with tinkering around with the trades. My apologies everyone and I'll stay from trading since I've done enough. Shooty, take your guys back and I'll take mine back and that's a handshake as well as Fighton not having to take any kind of extra action and taking any kind of fall.

[GDavis]

Hold on - when you made the trade did anyone call "no backsies"?

[fightonusc]

I'm instituting a modified version of the Ted Stepien Rule - Darky is clearly mentally unfit to manage trades, so we are voiding all Week 4 trades and asking that any trades involving The Empire come through the league office.

[nomaaa]

i think you should let darky lie in the bed he made

[Reds]

As stupid and shitty as the trades were, its sort of bullshit that the league has to step in here. 

[Nacho]

I'm hoping to get Chris Paul on the cheap...

Oh cool, thanks for clearing things up. I felt really bad about all this and I apologize to everyone again, especially Fighton,  for me getting carried away and taking the fun out of this. I managed to fuck up my team and put Shooty's team over the top and thus taking the suspense out of all this.

I made some bad decisions and didn't think out the consequences that were bad for the Fantasy League. It was weird getting carried away so fast like that, sort of like a drug. Fighton, please burn me good in the podcast

May we all move on now and get back to having good natured fun. I'm not happy with myself, but I'll be okay. The Empire is in shambles right now ... for now!

[Darky]

The funny thing here is when I was commissioner for 2 seasons, I ruled out trading until mid-season. At mid-season, there was a 2-week window for trades and then all trading was shut down after that window. The reasoning was to play out your drafted teams before doing something rash like I did after each week so early in the year. So the irony is that I made those rules back in 2009/2010 essentially for my future self!

ill take the blame for some of this.

That loss was such a shock that I think I got PTSD!  So I blame you for that shocking win that left the Empire traumatized, and Fighton for having a trading window open as the season begun. I can't get the barrage of hits out of my head from the Diplomats and AOS game, haha!

Wait. What?  Void all trades so far this year or none of the trades.  Either Darky has been mentally unfit from the beginning (this gets my vote) or he hasn't.  Some of his other trades have been just as bad.  Let's be fair here.

[Nacho]

If games have already been played, rosters should stand

[fightonusc]

Yeah, you can't replay the whole season. The only thing I can do is step in for trades that can affect future games, and it's clear Darky doesn't want these trades to happen, nor are they good for the league.

[Shooty]

Ok Trump.  Don't want the Canadians to win, eh?.  Gotcha.

[Shooty]

I'm not saying to replay any games, but make reset the rosters for week 4 to the original drafted rosters.  Be fair and balanced here.

[Shooty]

Or just veto the Whitaker for Herr trade.  You were OK with the Baylor trade.

[Gantry]
