A message from NEW Cubs GM to all GM's
« on: November 11, 2010, 02:13:42 PM »
I posted this under the announcement thread, but I thought I should post it as it's own topic, that way everyone has the opportunity to view it.

To all league members;

As Colby stated earlier, I have definite reasons for wanting to come back; in fact, I was sad to have left in the first place. I very much enjoyed the league, the people in it and the sense of community you guys have fostered here, and soon after I left, I was itching to return. Unfortunately, I was forced to leave the league due the overwhelming number of responsibilities that I had earlier this year (work, school, etc.) and I made the tough decision to leave the Giants behind rather than be an absentee owner. I felt that I owed it to the league to be as engaged and active as I could, and when it became apparent I wasn't going to be able to fulfill my duties as I promised when I initially took over the Giants, I decided it was best to step aside and let someone else take over, rather than allow the Giants to wallow. The integrity of the league was my first thought, and I made my decision in accordance with that. During my time here, I felt that I did an excellent job of preparing the Giants; both in the present and for the future, by making smart moves and being a fair trading partner, and I have no doubt that I can do the same with Cubs, given some time. In fact, I believe that I can do an even better job with the Cubs than I did with the Giants, now that I am familiar with the workings of the league, and given the additional resources running a large market club will provide. Also, to assuage any concerns that I may up and leave the league again, my life is considerably less intense than it was a few months back. While I still have work and school, a distracting, time-consuming,  and unfortunate personal living situation is no longer present in my life. This situation was one that was a great drain on my time, and it took a mental and emotional toll on me, and I can happily say that it is no longer an issue. I am prepared to re-invest myself in the league with a renewed sense of vigor, and I am sure it will be apparent to all of you almost immediately.

I hope that I have explained myself and the situation in a satisfactory manner, however, if anyone has any questions regarding anything, please do not hesitate to contact me; I would be more than happy to explain myself further should any of you feel the need for me to do so. Thank you for your time, thanks to Colby for giving me another opportunity, and thanks to all of you for allowing me to once again be a part of this league, and this fantasy community.

Kris

  • BayAreaBallers: Alpha taking a lead commish role for a change good for u
    May 15, 2024, 07:34:31 PM
  • Daddy: Yeah his training wheels are off. Especially with a money baseball league. Profsl hasnt seen one of those in over a decade.
    May 15, 2024, 08:02:35 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: my only qualms is what is the method to pay. i dont wanan havta make another money account like league safe
    May 15, 2024, 08:04:39 PM
  • Daddy: It uses the LIVE scoring engine. Otherwise its a completely different baseball option then LIVE, FGM, or Armchair.
    May 15, 2024, 08:05:26 PM
  • Daddy: I think its thru fantrax but its next season so he has time to sort that out.
    May 15, 2024, 08:06:04 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: i got that
    May 15, 2024, 08:07:32 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: its just its a money league
    May 15, 2024, 08:07:38 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: i havat be very careful w such things
    May 15, 2024, 08:07:46 PM
  • Daddy: Variety is what all of our leagues should be, no two alike. So we as a site can cater to all types. MLB LIVE lost a HOF level GM (Paul) because he doesn't do H2H leagues.
    May 15, 2024, 08:08:02 PM
  • TheGOAT: @Daddy, when will NBA Live be in full swing?
    May 15, 2024, 08:09:19 PM
  • Daddy: Its there as an option. $10 entry for a chance to win $100 or double your money. Worst case you're out $10 but no contracts etc.
    May 15, 2024, 08:09:37 PM
  • Daddy: @TheGoat starting two leagues next month. NBA could be ready by the upcoming season.
    May 15, 2024, 08:10:17 PM
  • Daddy: @TheGoat I'm waiting on the creation of league boards per @Anthony. Once the boards are up the building of the league begins.
    May 15, 2024, 08:11:17 PM
  • Daddy: NHL & NCAA football will both be insane for a minute.
    May 15, 2024, 08:12:19 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: its also redraft
    May 15, 2024, 08:14:07 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: which makes it interesting
    May 15, 2024, 08:14:16 PM
  • Daddy: NBA LIVE scoring, concept, rules, its all ready to go. The concept was completed last month.
    May 15, 2024, 08:14:18 PM
  • Daddy: @BAB exactly. Fresh start each year. @Alpha5 is on to something. And the LIVE scoring engine is legit.
    May 15, 2024, 08:15:13 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: i just need to know how money is handled
    May 15, 2024, 08:17:55 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: before deciding
    May 15, 2024, 08:18:01 PM
  • Daddy: That's fair. He is building his own brand "Powerhouse" is redraft each sport $10 entry & 20 teams. Football, Baseball, Basketball, and lastly hockey.
    May 15, 2024, 08:23:34 PM
  • Daddy: Each sport powered by the LIVE scoring engine.
    May 15, 2024, 08:24:55 PM
  • Daddy: Redraft
    May 15, 2024, 08:25:35 PM
  • Daddy: Im so proud lol (insert tear) #newgeneration

  • Braves155: I had the best sick day ever today. This morning I woke sick as piss, texted my boss I was taking a sick day as it wasn't happening. I might also might have met someone who shows interest in this old boy
    May 15, 2024, 09:48:46 PM
  • Braves155: Via an accidental text from said person.
    May 15, 2024, 09:49:24 PM
  • dbreer23: It's a clear and quiet night in MLB LIVE, and the boards are cleared...
    May 15, 2024, 10:25:23 PM
  • Alpha5: If we could handle the money on fantrax that'd be great. Leaguesafe is actually the site I've been inquiring about

  • Jwalkerjr88: I get like that too Eric. My goal every offseason is to do at least 1 trade with every gm. Why not? Its fun
    Yesterday at 04:55:00 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Some guys just dont trade for whatever reason. But the guys who dont arent championship contenders.
    Yesterday at 04:55:47 PM
  • Daddy: They trade, about as often as real teams do. For people that love year round trading, being in one league, one sport, its going to be difficult.
    Yesterday at 05:38:13 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Not everyone trades. But agreed, for one sport folk like myself. It requires patience
    Yesterday at 06:10:32 PM
  • Alpha5: NFL LIVE is the most difficult league for me and it's not even close
    Yesterday at 07:22:33 PM
  • Daddy: Cant just trade because its fun. There needs to be a purpose behind trading. Get guys you believe in or need to keep improving.
    Yesterday at 08:44:03 PM
  • Daddy: NFL LIVE has the toughest GMs & football is the toughest fantasy sport for DYNASTY. Redraft will always be King of football.
    Yesterday at 08:45:00 PM
  • Daddy: Baseball, hockey, basketball guys struggle with NFL LIVE because its just so damn fast (football careers, roster turnover etc.)
