I’ve read all the comments and opinions in this thread. I think that some of you have taken this a little too personal. I can understand the frustration and anger on both sides of the argument. I hope that in the future we can have arguments and debates in this thread without it getting personal.
With that being said, I’ve decided to pass the trade. I will give my full explanation below:
First, I agree with Alex that I or PJ should not be vetoing trades without clear and just reason. It’s not our jobs as the brain-trust of the league to babysit GMs and make sure they make even trades. With that being said, I and/or PJ will veto trades for any of the following three reasons: 1) If it’s clear that GMs are just passing players back and forth between their teams and only making trades with certain friends. 2) If it’s clear that a GM has dumped away players to a friend or other GM right before he resigns from the league. 3) If it’s clear that a trade is made that goes against the integrity of our league.
I’m sure that most, if not all, of the GMs would agree with those three reasons.
This trade was brought into question because a few GMs have come to PJ and I with suspicions about groups of GMs teaming up and trading players to each other without really worrying about the deals being fair one way or another. We were also told that these ‘grouped up’ GMs were ignoring their emails and only trading amongst each other. After a short discussion about it, I told PJ to go ahead and post and contest the trade.
I have found no actual evidence of this other than the he said/she said type stuff. If we were to find evidence of this going on, it would obviously be a serious problem and would be dealt with accordingly.
Many of the GMs in this league know me from my other leagues. They will (I hope at least) tell you that I am a very fair commissioner. I try to make sure that every GM has a fun, enjoyable and fair league to be apart of. We have a very good league right now with plenty of active GMs and a waiting list to boot. Let’s keep it that way.
I’m going to lock this thread, however, if you chose to continue to discuss this topic, you may start a thread in the league forum about it. I would expect that you keep the conversation respectful if you choose to discuss this topic further.
