Pressure will be replacing Healt as Captain of Mortal

[ogron]

So there were some internal conflicts in Mortal, and in order to save their season, we've acted quickly to get a deal in place to get a new captain and salvage their roster.

Pressure will takeover as (C), we're swapping out Shadowmere for Rough (Rough will take his place on Mortal, and Shadowmere will go into FA), and Healt will be removed from TWDT and replaced with Temujin.

I discussed it with the other five captains and they've approved the deal.

We at Mortal approve this and welcome ROUGH. Good work on making fast decisions to get this fixed.

My only problem with this is you have shadowmere forcing himself out of a team into FA.

should drop that fucker for refusing to play

plz drop shadowqueer from twdt ty

[Crescent Seal]

I agree. Shadowmere should be banned from this season's TWDT. Being a top pick comes with responsibility and he clearly screwed over his team with his lack of composure, disrespect, and terrible personality in general. He's a huge fan of consequences so drop some on him.

im not playing, but i would agree with those folks. anyone forcing their way off of a team by not playing and being a general dickhead should just be removed from twdt.

dont know if shadowmere has told people he has early mornings on mondays. he couldn't show for a bunch of twl games because of this. even i knew about this. get better capts.

or if he promised he could show then ignore my earlier comment and take him out to the city square and castrate him

I get to work 7am monday to friday too with the same timezone. Time isnt an issue there And im here for the base too! I assume im not any younger than Shadowmere!

He's had a good track record in TWDT of showing and playing, this is an elegant solution and let's everyone move forward and focus on competing and having fun, and assuming he's willing to play/show for whoever takes him, I'd rather just let it be.

If he's unwilling to play for whoever picks him up in FA, I'll remove him, but I'd prefer it not come to that. As someone who has clashed with Shadowmere on multiple occasions, I understand the desire to ban him, believe me. But let's put away the pitchforks (for now.)

The issue was that he played for his team both Week 1 and Week 2, that's not an outright refusal, but he seems to have gone to bed (something he asked me to cite in his draft note) earlier than he would have without the conflict. He obviously has issues with Pressure, who has become captain now, and probably logged out of spite, but deriving intention from that with 100% confidence is difficult. The trendline was heading towards refusal to play next week, but that comes after the FA Draft, meaning Mortal drafts Rough using their #2 FA, Shadowmere is then in clear violation refusing to play Week 3 and banned, and they lose all the value of Shadowmere and Healt for nothing since there's no one to swap out for because the FA Draft has already occurred, and the team implodes.

Not only that, Tiny's team (the most likely to pick him up in Free Agency) is in last place, and loses out on being able to pick up Shadowmere to help their team (he played for Tiny last year without issue.) So banning Shadowmere over something I'm not sure is clear-cut and outright bannable hurts Mortal and Avengers, and helps no one.

I mean, it would help Power, Terrorist, Silence, and Curse in the sense that its damaging their competition and increasing their odds of reaching the playoffs, but I don't consider that a net positive. I'm hopeful the rest of us can rise above the maturity level of Healt and Shadowmere and work to make TWDT as fun and competitive as possible.

All six captains stepped up big-time on Sunday to resolve this and rise above their own personal interests, so props to them.

Hmm fair enough...
