PFDC Fantasy Basketball Poll

[Masoud_A]

Everyone on the league vote plz.

[Hichkas]

no why?

[Babak]

I voted no.

Simple explanation of both sides:

Reasons for "No"

1. "gets beat by all" was persianbruin's own idea, he should live with the consequences of his own idea and not make such a request simply because he got unlucky and was stuck as the only team to play "gets beat by all" once instead of twice. That's the luck of the draw, and he should live by it with no special personal considerations.

2. He knew about this situation many weeks ago, but didn't bring it up or make it an issue until now, right at the most inconvenient time when teams begin to start playing "gets beat by all" for a second team.

Reasons for "Yes"

1. persianbruin got unlucky in being picked as the only 1 out of 11 to only play "gets beat by all" once rather than twice, and we should therefore even things out for him by agreeing to the request for 0-0 in our 2nd matchup against "gets beat by all".

The fact that it was persianbruin's own idea to create this fake team, and the fact that he knew about it weeks ago and didn't decide to make it an issue until now is irrelevant and shouldn't matter.

blah blah blah. I did this to help you guys. Becasue the league was not getting started. If I recall correctly, everyone was happy. Now if you are desparate for points just say so. You make it seem like I was trying to trick you guys. Where I was just trying to kick start the league when everbody else was scratching their heads not knowing what to do!! And this is the thanks I get?


Hichkas, didnt you read the posts I made in the fantasy league?? Read post 527

EDIT: BABAK, what you are doing is when someone gets injured and the opposition kicks the ball out on purpose to help the other team remove their player from the field and then the other team thanks them by not giving the ball back!!

and regarding the "luck of the draw" comment, what draw?? That team is not even a real team!!! Its not like I say howcome someone got lucky to play demis only once but the others have to play him twice. That team should not even be considered a team. Thats what I am saying.

First round we all went for 11-0 so we are all even. The second round we should all go 0-0 so we should still be even

[Demis-11]

this should be fair and i voted yes, we should all tie, i played gets beat by all in my second last week and i was doing just fine even before i played him, if your team stinks i can understand but hey were all at the same level now if we play getsbeatbyall once

a better poll would be "is babak the greatest to ever play the game"

[Ghormeh Sabzi]

no thats stupid and makes no sense.. as everyone else racks up wins and points and you can't do shizz.. this isn't NFL that u get a week off..

[persianbruin]

No i wont becasue at the end Nobody has got or lost any points against GBBA so we will all be even, Did you even read post 527 on the fantasy thread? Something tells me you havent read it.

Btw, I had this dream (nightmare) last night that I bought you a supped up A4. I ahve no idea why!

[Babak]

PB: Why didn't you bring this issue up earlier when you first found out about it? Don't give me the BS excuse that you were too "lazy". You've posted hundreds of times since you found this out, laziness had nothing to do with the issue.

it didnt matter cuz I found out after 3 teams had already played against it and had earned their 11-0 so it would not have been fair to the others so I always thought I had time. But that is how I am unfortunately. Everythng done the last minute. God knows how many late fees I have received on my CC statements becasue of that.

But what the diff if I said it the 3rd week or now? Fact is what it is, It would not have made any differnce back then. Everyone should have had got their 11-0 before we could do anything about it. We could not go back and change those first three 11-0 back to 0-0. So time isnt really the issue here. However, integrity is

[ommy48]

Guys I'm not sure what everyone is fighting about, it was an honest mistake, we are all friends here and this is just for fun and bragging rights, so let's just make it an even playing field and get back to having fun!

So for the past 2 months, you didn't think it was worth the 1 line sentence of mentioning to the rest of your league of your disadvantage. But now it's worthy of all this drama and commotion? This doesn't seem like laziness to me, I just don't understand...

But whatever, it is what it is.

again what would have been different in terms of implications had I said this in week 4? Elaborate please.

[Masoud_A]

ok, we only need Shaahin to vote. his vote will decide.

[Babak]

Since when does persianbruin's own vote count, since he has a conflict of interest here? This was a poll for the effected league members, not including him. The same is true on trade voting. You don't get to vote on your own trade.
