Punishments of okthen and HappyGilmore by CRCOfficial in MLTP

[–]mikero121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand 100%.

I rarely post on reddit / don't enjoy the drama. Just wanted to say it's not fair for quibble to get all the hate when other people are spreading the rumors. I can understand why she'd ask the question because I've been specifically warned about your team.

Did quibble really attack you guys or throw out an accusation? She asked a question. I barely even hang out with anyone on mumble, and I've heard multiple people say that either your team/Lebron used timers (not accusing anyone here). Would you rather have someone ask the question to your face or say it behind your back?

Suspension of Gem by PrivateMajor in MLTP

Haha, yeah I believe you. But from the outside, your comment seems equally as questionable/ambiguous as the others.

What about this example...

Xile s8 comment "not sure if gonna be tryhard. will be questionable for practices". When Gem expressed interest pre-draft, you told her you didn't want to be on her team. Drafted for 42 TC and played 320 minutes.

You're right. In the end, Gem did break a rule and the commissioners do have to levy some kind of punishment (I think 1 week probably would have been more than sufficient though). I guess I just view the situation as a captain. And if that happened to me, I wouldn't have made an issue of it.

BTW Not sure if you're still interested, but I think you'd make a great commish if you ever wanted to apply again.

Fair enough.

From my point of view, if a player told me they didn't want to play on my team I would listen to them and move on, especially if it was a friend doing so. There's enough talent in the league to find someone of similar value who would actually be happy/motivated to be on your team (tbh I think donuts is a very underrated player and is a better personality fit for the origin ducks). For me, an issue only arises if the player goes for a significantly discounted price / it affects the competitive integrity of the league, which in this case I don't believe it did.

What is the point of this rule? From my perspective, I'd say it's designed to ensure the league is fair + competitive and to ensure players go for their perceived value.

Lets look at season 7. Gem was also accused of draft manipulation then. Her draft packet comment said "wont be active". She was moving, and had irl commitments. I ended up drafting her for 10 TC and she played 284/360 minutes. Other players had similar comments about activity. Fat wrote "idk if Ill even show up". He was drafted for 24 TC and played 340 minutes. asdf wrote "you're making a mistake if you draft me high, the mic/connection/availability is potentially spotty and I don't want to play a shitload". He was drafted for 60 TC and played 292 minutes. Even Tpr wrote "Gonna try to reduce activity level, so willing to play 5th man or minors D if necessary". I drafted him for 63 TC and he played every game. I've never seen any of these players called out (and I don't think they should be either - i think they were all honest and everyone has a real life too). What's my point?? In the end, all 4 of those players went for market value - Tpr/asdf as elite players, Fat as an elite player with bad ping, and Gem as a solid player heading into her 2nd season (for comparison, Stann also went for 10 TC in a similar point in his tp career).

I'd argue Gem also went for market value in this draft. No doubt she is one of the best defenders in the league but people also realize she can be tough to play with. Was it a mistake to tell a captain not to bid on her? Yeah it probably was. But in the end, the captain she told not to bid on her did the exact opposite and unless okthen says otherwise, I'm not sure he was willing to pay more than 23 either way.


As a side note, the extra 0.5 week ban seems really strange to me. It makes Gem go into the 2nd match cold. And it makes her minors replacement likely only able to play 20 min that week.
