also back to original topic......shales job gets an extra 5 points? no one gets any points for posting? so essentially shale is still getting his post points and the rest of us who would still get 1 or 2 points a season get nothing?

That is the biggest part of being in this league. Nearly 1/3 of BBSBL GM's need others to export for them because they have a Mac or no laptop or whatever...this isn't exactly uncommon. I wouldn't say BBSBL is "normal" either. |

I even called out the married couple known as the Gobles for having incomplete lineups...where was Matt to talk shit to them? Oh wait they're his friends so that wasn't gonna happen either way. I let them know that they had holes in their lineups that you were whining like a 5 year old about. Didn't that happen to be right after the trade deadline when they both made trades as well? Odd they would have holes. I'll let them both know that the life of their child and the lives of the others they help as paramedics must go on hold so Shale can lose fairly and get his #1 draft pick for 5 years straight to "build his team the right way" and win. Whine somewhere else. It's getting old. You spend more time here than anyone because you're obsessed with it, you've let us all know that. Others have lives. Last night was my only night home this week before 8....and I got there about 7:45. Tonight I get to go coach 65 jr high track kids in a meet. Tomorrow I get to do the same with 50 HS kids. My life doesn't revolve around my computer. Yours does. lol when have I been whining? What kind of shit is this? I wasn't "whining" about the incomplete lineups...I was simply pointing it out. Way to jump to conclusions again... |

With this logic matt should just start exporting for jen and jeff too.... they are busy with life as well. as many others are. I get lucky cause i can access here from work. but really 3 teams who get full points for exporting every year when theya re not even the ones exporting.....there is a flaw in that. I agree Matt should export for them...no reason not to |

Essentially yes. But Shale does a lot of work with the Banking and checking for eligibility, etc. Good thing I don't have "export for another team" bonus points lol. Shale would be cleaning house. |

I agree Matt should export for them...no reason not to I guess the main issue I have with it is that others who can't post get 20 points a season, whereas someone like Ashes, gets shafted because he didn't ask you to export for him. I'm concerned with that too, to the point where I have honestly considered removing points for exporting, I dunno. |

Ehhh there should be a way to make it fair without getting rid of those points altogether. |

I'd honestly prefer that other teams text or PM me changes...or at least text or PM you and COPY me in order to gain credit for points. I don't mind you exporting for them if they ask you each and every time to export for them.
I have no way of knowing that DRowe has asked you 20 separate times to even say "no changes"
I get PMs from Mark, Noah, Dave, Matt, Spencer all the time. There's no reason others can't PM me.

I communicate with DRowe and Stutter all the time on Facebook, but this could work. I keep forgetting the PM stuff because I honestly do actual exports myself every single time lol |

Then again, there's always prospects to promote and new positions for each offensive spect to learn and Chris I wouldn't wanna ask you to do all that for me as well

That's the thing though...even if there are no changes for any of the teams I have exported for, there could be a prospect to promote or a new position to learn. Even if 1 of those guys request no changes, I'll still do the minor league stuff because that's what needs to happen. Every spect needs to be on the right level because if they aren't, they're like 5x more likely to get bad PD's, right? And then every spect needs to learn every position to become more valuable so that's what it is.

What I DON'T want are blind exports just for the sake of giving your friends points. Just like Matt said, I'm not accusing you for it, but I just want to avoid that just for the sake of others who do not have time to get to a PC. Or, just have them text me "I am sending Shale changes, he's exporting for me." |

Almost always, a prospect needs a promotion or a spect learns a new positions. I can PM you every change I do for every team each export. That wouldn't be a problem at all. |

I disagree with that....."thats what needs to happen" unless they tell you to make a move...you shouldnt be micro managing their teams.... |

Again, I don't care that you export for them, I just don't want you micro-managing FOR them...unless they ASK for it and copy me on it. I'd rather have "no changes" PMs

On another topic though, this got me thinking...
Some teams like mine are always up to date with their minor league systems, regarding spects being in the correct minor league level according to OOTP, while other teams are filled with players, whose notes include "Should be ready for Triple-A now" or "Could play in AA now" yada yada yada.
Is there anything proven more or less that prospects are more likely to suffer bad PD's if they are too high or low in a team's minor league system according to OOTP itself? I've always wondered this but until now, never got around to asking anyone.
Basically, is there an actual need to constantly be paranoid over this or not?

Trust me, my goal is for this league to be as hands-off as possible as compared to BBSBL. I could not keep up there. I want this to be efficient and moving fast. I have my crazy rules, yes, but they are for the benefit of the league and making it easier (I got rid of time limits on PD reversals, introduced a soft cap on points so we only have to check once per season, etc).

Didn't know there would be a problem with all that. |

I've always wondered this but until now, never got around to asking anyone. Basically, is there an actual need to constantly be paranoid over this or not? I have noticed that, in an extremely small sample size, that a player who performed very well in the minors, even with meh potential ratings, got talent increases. I guess the best way to test this is to look at players who were drafted in rounds 3 or 4, check their minor league stats and if they are very good (batted .300+, dozen homers, etc.), are their current potential ratings higher than they were when they were created---essentially, are there Good or even Brilliant ratings or in the top 100? |

Sorry for that misunderstanding. No one ever told me that wasn't ok to do and every time I see that a prospect needs a promotion, I'd feel an actual compulsion to do it immediately. Guess I'll have to control this better in the future...

Guess I'll have to control this better in the future... I would too, I would want to. But I want to know that the teams you are helping are actually asking for help. Stutter obviously is active, so I have no doubt he's telling you to FIX THIS! FOOL! |
