[SkinBasket]

Normally I had a blast playing FF, but last year I was in a division with people who took it waaaayyy too seriously. So much drama it would make Lifetime look like Comedy Central. Anyhow, if I had a suggestion for FF, it would be to keep the die-hards separate from who just wanting to have fun.

Survival is where it's at

That's not a fair summary of the rest of the FF league. The only drama created was when you and your trading partner tried to complete a trade that everyone else in the league, on this board, and anywhere else, considered lopsided. Considering one team was in the basement and one team was vying for a play-off spot and the trade favored the latter, people quite rightly vetoed the trade. Then you two went all bezerko, claiming sexism and all kinds of other BS that didn't address the fact the trade was ridiculous at best. But I agree, and I think Zool mentioned last year, that we needed to make a casual league for people who want to make wacky trades or fill their roster with white players or players who's last names all start with W or whatever other crazy ideas cross their mind during the season.

Claiming the division ruined your "fun" by not allowing a trade (which was very thoroughly analyzed as bogus by several people inside and outside our division) that would have affected several other players negatively is a bit selfish though. The bigger problem was the annual drop-outs who, despite warnings of bodily harm and forum humiliation, abandoned their team - one after like 3 weeks.

People were getting irritated about things in that division long before that trade situation that you had a hissy fit over. If I remember correctly, there was another scenario going on that was attempting to knock 007 out, too.

You were always bitching about something whether it was telling people to set their fucking rosters 4 days in advance or complaining that you couldn't log in to the draft because of whatever reason, etc.

Drama and arguments involving the mighty Skinbasket. Gee, now there's a shocker. I guess on this one, we'll just have to agree on one thing....that we need a casual league and a prima donna league :P

Maybe you should reread those threads before you start throwing accusations and labels around. I offered my view of the trade. Then several others agreed. You responded with nasty words and nastier suggestions of what we could do to ourselves. Yet somehow I'm the "prima donna" throwing a "hissy" fit?

I just think it's selfish and rude to accuse our entire division of some collusion against the two women playing considering the absurd reasoning behind not only "the trade," the litany of accusations that followed, and your efforts to submarine your own team to make a point and ruin the experience for the rest of the people involved.

I guess it's easy to use me as some kind of foil and blame me for things that never happened, but going back through the thread doesn't really paint you in a very flattering, or sane, light.

More importantly, I would encourage everyone who wants to play this year to play. And same as last year, I would encourage anyone who's not going to take the 30 seconds to set your roster per week and respect the other players in your division not to bother if you're just going to bail on the division after your first two game losing streak. It's a game and it's supposed to be fun. But when you decide you're not going to play anymore because you suck, it selfishly ruins the experience for everyone else. That's all I ever asked. That if you sign up, you play. You don't have to be good. Having common courtesy is much more important. I guess that became a problem for some people.
