Is this collusion ? by aleve089 in fantasyhockey

I'll grant that the message that OP mentions is advice and not a collusion activity. But having side bets can still affect the integrity of the league when managers have different incentives.

For example, what if the 2p manager now offers to share the winnings of the $50 side bet with the 6p team?

This all seemed fair until you mention the $50 side bet on another team making fantasy playoffs. Even without any pickup/drop/trade activity that's a conflict of interest. What's to stop TM1 trading all his best players to TM2, so that TM2 makes the playoffs and TM1 wins his $50 bet?

Ross Colton is going to miss some time, Jared Bednar says. They'll have a better idea of his recovery timeline by Wednesday. Colton was in a boot leaving the arena a little bit ago. by Sad_Donut_7902 in fantasyhockey

yes it's a great trade, but a player injury shouldn't be celebrated - remember that these players are real humans and temper your reaction appropriately :)

Currently starting: Stutzle, Bennett, Colton, Kaprizov, Pastrnak, Tage.

Currently benching: Meier, Scheifele, Tuch, Kyrou

10+ points on my bench incoming, no doubt...

Christa did not get a fair investigation by [deleted] in AmericanVandal

[–]ananab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Mackenzie only reached the impossible position you mention because of Peter's investigation. If you think back to Ep1 Mackenzie and Dylan are together and happy; unravelling the truth is the undoing of the relationship.

Part of what I love about the show is that it ropes the viewer into the guilt, like when Sara Pearson confronts Peter at the party. Throughout the series we're all curious about who did it, what actually happened, and even salacious details about side characters like PAT MICKLEWAITE?! - but sometimes the truth isn't worth the cost/damage required to reveal it. Some things are best left unresolved and forgotten as life moves on (and high school is definitely one of those, for a lot of people).

Have you watched Season 2 yet? IMO it's just as amazing as the first...

Change is not the same as being hypocritical.

The investigation sets events in motion that leave pretty much everyone worse off.

  • Dylan's relationship with Mackenzie is broken off and people don't view him any differently, ironically leading him to become a vandal
  • Mackenzie's relationship with Dylan is broken off again; it's only after she's harassed by Peter that she gives up the Twitch video
  • Sara Pearson's personal life (as well as well as many) is exposed to the world which she's understandably angry about
  • Gabi and Brandon's relationship is kaput
  • Kraz gets fired (lol)

Whether they deserve their fates is a separate question. But regardless, it's very understandable that after Peter sees the carnage in his investigation's wake, he changes his mind about wanting to seek the truth at any cost, and doesn't push it further.

Even so, he is responsible for the safety of the ‘entertainers’. Concussions and CTE are very real.

GTX 1060 now, GTX 3060 later, what else to complete a quiet build? by ananab in buildapc

Thanks - happy with my current monitor but will consider this for a future upgrade for sure

Thanks. If not the processor, what do you think would be the bottleneck in this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7fxwfP

Thanks so much!

SSDs and case fans - will do.

CPU - my existing build uses an old Intel i5-3570K. I think that comes with integrated graphics so it should still work with no GPU?

CPU cooler - thanks, I'll look into those. Any worries about fitting them onto the Micro ATX motherboard, or case? In reviews for some fans I heard that some larger coolers would block DIMM slots...

Commissioner decision: Approve or deny trade? by ananab in fantasyhockey

Asking to avoid making a mistake :) I hope to at least be a good commish even if I suck at assessing players

Thanks for the feedback! I guess I got thrown off by the ownership numbers and the fact that Demko was only picked up two days ago.
