He's frozen because he hasn't managed his team all year; and with playoffs looming, if he were to begin managing his team, the already unfair advantage of certain teams having already played him (vs teams who have yet to, or teams who would only play him 1x, vs 2x) becomes very pronounced.
But more than that, with the animosity and grudge matches that have already been built; and Metro's obv connection to getting Dat_Prince to selectively do something (eg, the trades with him), the ability for Dat_Prince to "magically" set his lineup perfectly for a week when he's playing say...CoolClyde, would be ridiculous, and destroy the integrity and competitiveness of the league.
If Dat_Prince showed a shred of follow up to the league, this wouldn't be an issue; or if he just stayed totally silent, it wouldn't be an issue, either; or if he organically started to pay attention to the league, it still wouldn't be an issue and it'd just be a deal with it situation, despite the crazy advantage/disadvantage it'd present to some ppl, and that they'd get shafted.
edit -- the whole situation is stupid and unnecessary, and i don't want it to balloon even more or waste anyone's time; i didn't pay attention to anything Dat_Prince has been doing the entire season, despite ppl (naturally) complaining or having some issues with it. i guess agreed with them, personally, but i stayed silent and removed from it from a commissioner standpoint bc i'd rather have just let it be, and not get too technical about stuff and risk meddling or intefering and trying to make things "perfect".
Next year I will be drafting my own guys , not picking up a team that is already eliminated from contention. I will still finish this out though :teeth:
thank you commissioner iSayUghh!
i have added my negatory veto to this sly ploy yet again attempted by Metro and the invisible yet one-sided DatPUNK.
let's see:
Tony Parker + Joakim Noah
for
Steph Curry + Blake Griffin
ok, Tony Parker's got fantasy point value, but a healthy Steph Curry and his remarkable 3-point ability far outshadows TP frog, and Blake Griffin is head and shoulders a better player and fantasy option than Noah's ark.
I agree to freeze DatPUNK's team for all the reasons you name above. totally unfair that he doesn't respond to anyone but Metro, and agrees to wheel and deal in latter part of season without making a move to his own team. VOTE AGAINST TRADE, deal with it, let's play the game.
IMHO, it's insane to lose the competitive edge in order to root for your home team, but it does make sense in a crazy non-competitive way. I hate when my fantasy guys are playing the Knicks. It's like I only want to see my fantasy guys score, and I have a chip on my shoulder when a fantasy opponent has a scoring Knick...damn you Shao-Lin, love you Spike Lin, f*ck you MusketeerX (jk), but I'm still rooting for the Knicks! arghh, so damned conflicted matey!
Are you playing RTE 1 Traffic Jam?
If so you've done an incredible job with that team. I mean it helps that some of your players are massively overachieving (Ryan Anderson COUGH) but I'm impressed with the performance.
There are still 6 weeks left until the playoffs. If you win 5 of those games it's not inconceivable you could reach for the playoffs. 7 teams on .500 or less!
shame it had to come to this, but Metro pushed it there. the man can't get out of his own way. vetoed the trade too.
How do you not know he's playing rte 1 traffic jam at this point??? :lol:
For sake of just moving and no more bs and controversy it had to be be done. Hella fun league and nice n competitive -- want it to stay that way :beer:
