The "Mouse trade" interference and punishment thread

[Turban]

My suggestion would be to remove Mouse from this season and giving him a competitive league ban spanning two seasons. I highly doubt he will even show for his team with two guaranteed competitive bans looming in the near future which means his team will pretty much fucked without any help.

I feel it would be better to offer Tiny a proper replacement to ensure his team remains competitive in basing. This could be finding a direct replacement from players who have yet to sign up (would have to get approved by other draft captains) or alternatively utilizing the free agency draft giving him extra picks and/or guaranteed first pick depending on the player pool available while removing free agency tax from that replacement player.

Other alternative would be to give him a stern warning and not issuing any bans, but should he pull off anything like this again then no mercy.

.. and yes, I am aware these seem like very controversial opinions based on the reactions I saw from RaCka and Dwopple, but felt the need to still post it here. I am not planning on taking part in this edition of draft tournament so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Due to Mouse's interference with Ekko and Tiny's trade, the trade request has been VOIDED.

As a result of the trade interference and threats of refusing to play, the following punishments will be levied against Mouse:

• Mouse will be allowed to continue playing this DT season
• 1 season DT ban, applied to the next DT season**
• 1 season TW Basing Cup ban*

*This punishment is eligible to be DROPPED at the conclusion of this season so long as Mouse plays out this DT season normally and without further interference, incidents involving league ops or refusal to play for their captain.

**EDIT 12/13/2023 -- TWDT League Ops agreed 1 week after this decision to work with Mouse on improving his sportsmanship and allow him to earn reducing his punishment to a WARNING. Mouse fulfilled his part of the deal and neither the next season ban, or TW Basing Cup ban will be enforced.

Both Ekko and Tiny can propose a new trade with Mouse included, but the previous one will remain voided.


I will keep this thread open but it will be heavily monitored and closed if it gets out of hand. Please do not post in the official trade thread to discuss this topic.
