Arrests etc… watch game film and make a decision on if the player is worth drafting. It’s supposed to be a long process.


    Reality is, it all comes down to being lied to.

    I actually read the panels that were provided and watched the videos while I waited weeks for the draft to begin.

    The draft was said to run a specific way, and yet it was clear from the first round, that the people who made the panels and videos, were controlling the draft to make sure that it did not move the very way they said it would move.

    That caused a seed of negativity to rise up and take root in my opinion and understanding of the entire site.

    So, after being pissed off, I composed myself and offered a solution here that would allow the owners to stop being seen by their clients as liars.

    The very solution could be used to make the draft one round a day or two rounds a day, I suggested three rounds which isn't really importaint.

    What is important is that once again they just pushed innovation and suggestion to the side and returned to self justification.

    All I asked, from the beginning is to not be lied to and then dismissed like a child who doesn't see the hypocrisy in front of them.

    Perhaps, had I not been distracted and caught up in the lie, I would have noticed, as you said, through the research I was engaged in, that one of the top recruits that I had placed in my draft pool had just retired a few months ago.

    Realizing that that had happened, as I was simultaneously being dismissed by ownership, contributed even more to the fervency of my anger at the lies and the manipulation of the drafting speed.

    But, it's all good.

    I am no longer upset at the lies or the distraction they caused, I said my peace and offered a solution.

    Those within the organization have to deal with the continued rejection of innovation and suggestion.

    Which continues to lead to reduced retention of clientele.

    I am currently participating in two separate draft leagues, both of which have less then 50% participation.

    I guess, even in the real world there are franchises who are mailing it in on a regular from decade to decade.

    So, why should I be upset if half the league is nonexistent?

    Sincerely,

    I am enjoying the game, and you are manipulating the game, for a number of reasons, reasonable reasons I am sure.

    I don't care about the money, I care about the game, If you are going to continue to manipulate things, just be upfront about it.

    When you do things this way, you are calling your clients idiots.

    Your calling me an idiot, we see what you are doing.

    From jump street I have attempted to help you better your product and your appearance of integrity.

    The game lacks integrity when you are not upfront and honest, when you dismiss people who point out the obvious.

    You lack integrity when you threaten to take the game away from people who ask questions you don't want asked.

    Check all my correspondence, then realize that many people have walked away from your game feeling and thinking in some fashion similarly to what I have tried to convey to you.

    They may have asked a question themselves and not appreciated the dismissive response, or they may have just not felt it worth the trouble.

    I understand that you probably put those walk aways as people who just aren't in your demographic, let me say this, ANYONE who lays out $18 for an unrecognizable computer game is in your Demographic and your game should keep them interested for years, however something left them walking away.

    I suggest that you are not listening to the objections in a way that conveys respect to the clients intelligence and desires.

    After all, are we not here at this stage of the conversation, because You think controlling the initial draft via ghost teams that are never skipped over is a way that brings "Intrigue" into the draft?

    Believe me when I say this one more time, Nobody, after waiting weeks to find out that they were not ripped off, wants to sit through a five week draft because you won't just set a draft schedule in the absence of "Intrigue".

    Also, if there was anyone who actually paid and did not show up to the Draft because of whatever reason, you did rip them off and you should return their money no matter how long ago it was.

    You can keep my money, I would prefer to prove I am a Better GM then any of you.
