TRADES

[Tiny]

I think the trade looks okay actually. Both teams benefit. The problem Afghan will have is that, in improving Tiny's line, he gifts a qualification rival possible wins in a league in which they may have forfeited. He also gifts Tiny a free basing victory against himself, which heads-up equates to two points. Afghan has only won 3/12 games, however, so I think this trade and specialisation is a risk worth taking. He is lucky there is a captain willing to trade a player of Kado's calibre.

This guy gets it

The trade deadline was moved up so teams couldn't dump an entire line after they had already qualified, but there was a never a rule against it line dumping or focusing efforts in certain leagues. The idea was to move the trade deadline up, so if people did dump their line, they would have a tough time qualifying.

this is accurate, because i was league op at the time.

tiny dumped his entire basing line week 5 at the deadline of the 2016 season and stacked wb/jav after getting a bunch of basing wins to qualify for the playoffs. i passed his trades, but it seemed like a really awful strat to allow going forward, so i moved the trade deadline up the following season.

the idea is that if you dump your entire base line i can't stop you, but you don't get those free base wins to qualify then dump your basers to teams that miss the playoffs.

the late trade deadline was really not fair to player's with captain's like Tiny, who would dump guys who helped him make the playoffs to non-playoff teams to stack 2 leagues and ditch 1.

there's nothing in the rules forcing caps to compete in all 3 leagues, it's just an unwritten etiquette thing. captains should try to be competitive in all three, but tiny has long been an extremely Machiavellian captain who views his players as pawns and doesn't care about social norms (whether tiny should be allowed to cap TWDT is a different conversation all together).

Zidane has told me to include Big Sean in the trade to make up for henry wb/jav to push it through.

Kado/Big Sean for Markmrw/Henry Saari

Agreed

[Grasps]

Question is, do teams need to dedicate their free time to showing to basing games vs. Criminal if this trade goes through? What's the point. It's going to waste everyone's time.

Well if that's the case on him giving up on basing, I'll take Zizzo for Sea Bass.
Might as well approve it now. Don't want Zizzo's basing talent rot on that team.
Come on over Zizzo ?message me in-game for chat

Zizzo plays more than just base.

Just grant anyone facing criminal in basing an auto win fyi

for
alextron from Zidane's team (Power)

Kim has been playing jav every time I see him logged on, getting that rust off. I just don't have room for him in current javelin line, nothing against him. I think he even coorded for our wb line week1.

Zizzo plays more than just base.

I'm ready to win wb (third times the charm! ) kado will be a huge addition in jav,base, and wb. our wb line just leveled up to beam,racka,me,zizzo,kado rotation, and now we have a solid depth jav line of kado,racka,mean gene,me,zizzo/big sean/heisman/afgan so we can compete at a higher level in both divisions better, then what we ever could, just short of trading away our javs and wbs for more basers... in last weeks basing matches,We had our full lineup, minus mean gene, pretty much, and we had no chance of gaining wins in base due to a lack of a second elite shark, and, the lack of great spids. so ty for making the league more competitive overall, by boosting our competitiveness in two leagues.
