How many bbdl members do we even have involved as co-managers?

 

I would root and and destroy the presence of all of them if it meant keeping silvergun, who is a pillar of the DDL community.

Ace is technically my co-manager in that he has the power to set my rosters and such but he's never actively managed anything about my team. I doubt Silvergunn even knew about this. I really wish Silvergunn hadn't made this decision at the height of Bengals induced despair. He's satly as f*** but he's a great manager and a perfect gentleman when it comes to the important stuff like trade negotiations and the like. It seems wrong to just hand over all his excellent work to someone else but the die seems like it's cast.

I don't actually believe that co-managers had anything to do with his decision, but if this puts an end to teams being run by committee, there's a silver lining to him leaving.

 

I always thought the saltiness was temporary, but it looks like the salt won. RIP silvergun :(

Are there really any teams bu committee in this league? North is flat out giving GD the reins and I don't really know of any true committees.

No, not in this league but almost half of BORED is co-managed. North can't manage for the next little while, so GD is taking over temporarily so North can have his team back when he's less busy. I didn't know before today that King, Ace, or Orgfiller were even co-managers.

He's a lot more cranky than he used to be, and has been for awhile. I guess he just doesn't like it here anymore. What can you do.

 

Just don't give his team to cyborg

Looks like it was his dying wish. Have to at least honor that.

Lol neither did I. I don't mind those guys but ace's tendency to ignore rules and then get indignant about it makes me kinda hope NJH crushes co managers with an iron fist.

Maybe we can do a sort of combo expansion-dispersal draft. Everyone enters with 18 players, and the new owner gets the first 5 picks or something.

All he said that was that you were his favourite from that league. He didn't say we had to pick anyone from it. In fact, I really think it would be truer to the memory of Silvergunn if we despaired the lot of you and just went with a new guy we like.

Ok, here is what I'm proposing to address silvergun's departure. Since it wouldn't really be fair to the long-time owners (esp basement dwellers) to simply hand over the best team in DDL to an outsider, I propose a one-time special purpose dispersal draft. The goal of this dispersal draft is to equip the incoming new owner with a roughly average DDL team that they have some say in creating, while also creating some league parity by dispersing some of silvergun's excellent team.

 

Here is what I'm thinking:

 

1) The new owner gets silvergun's farm team.

2) Everyone cuts down to 19 player rather than the usual 20.

3) A draft commences prior to the waiver draft as follows:

Everyone from silvergun's team and all players cut from their team's final 19 players are eligible for the dispersal draft. New players (such as internationals) who have never been owned are not eligible, and will fall into the waiver draft which follows the dispersal draft. At the end of the dispersal draft, each team will have 20 players and all remaining players will go into the waiver draft, which will begin at the normal time.

We aren't moving forward with anything at the moment. I'll talk to silvergun via email and try to get to the bottom of things.

 

#1 priority is retaining silvergun

If he is truly leaving, I think he should decide what happens to his team, since I'm assuming he doesn't have a son to pass it on to.

League should 100% decide what to do with the team. Since, you know, we're the ones that are still here and everything..

 

Only way the team owner should get to choose a replacement is if they die. Not if they just quit.

Absolutely, I'm shocked.

I don't have any skin in the game, but my suspicion is that it would potentially unfairly vault the lower mid-range teams over the fringe playoff ones. Why not auction off a few of the higher end, older players (you could have an outside panel determine the strongest return), and let whoever takes over the team keep the younger ones. Say, auction off Edwin, Cargo, Hamels, and Chapman or something.

Cyborg's posts over the last three pages should result in a lifetime ban from the DDL.

 

I thought you had to be included before being banned?
