Fuck you guys for bitching about sims being spotty for a couple days. That's bullshit man. You should be more appreciative of the fact Marty even still runs this league after spence stepped down. Comments like Greeme a few posts up are so ignorant and a huge piss off for any commish, and just absolutely unnecessary. Simming is tedious and annoying and quite frankly if a simmer doesn't feel like simming one night well then just shut up. Marty has done an awesome job for us. someone gets it... something tells me you've simmed before. |

Orlando Magic Central Division Chicago Bulls Detroit Pistons Indiana Pacers Milwaukee Bucks Midwest Division Dallas Mavericks Denver Nuggets Minnesota Timberwolves Pacific Division Los Angeles Clippers Seattle SuperSonics I'm on daily. Gtfo I've never been one to just post stupid shit to get my posts up how is anyone to ever know you're active if you're not posting. any one can find 10-20 post in a day. hell you can get 10 alone based off your teams sim alone, then there's discussing what other people are saying about their sims, then of course there's an off-topic forum. Not trying to just anyone here, but that shouldn't be an excuse as to why you can't get 10-20 post in a day. over 10 sims that's 200 post easy. What's the issue with doing that? no one is saying spam up the boards but there are plenty of things to talk about here, with a little effort your activity can easily rise. As for your team, if you're bored with your team you have 3-4 easily valueble players. You can make a move if you're bored with the same players, even if it's a lateral move to see something different, right? Even the effort to show you're trying to make a move, that's activity in itself isn't it? this is just my opinion, I'm just raising the question. Not bashing in the slightest |

Marty has done an awesome job for us. someone gets it... something tells me you've simmed before. But thats the job though. You need to just ignore the complainers or else it does become pointless being a simmer. You have to do it because you want to, not because youre pacifying people. When it becomes a chore you should quit. When things were going the best for me I challenged myself to post 25-50 times a day myself. Comment on trades. Call Gms out. Make suggestions. Etc. Get people involved in conversation. |

Gtfo I've never been one to just post stupid shit to get my posts up how is anyone to ever know you're active if you're not posting. any one can find 10-20 post in a day. hell you can get 10 alone based off your teams sim alone, then there's discussing what other people are saying about their sims, then of course there's an off-topic forum.

Not bashing in the slightest I'm not skillz I don't make moves for the sake of trading. That's utterly retarded. I don't have the luxury of fucking around for "lateral moves". No trade involving Kobe will be lateral. If I had my pick I'd be trading like crazy to rebuild, but dbw felt my pick was better than Collison for some reason. As for posting, I run a heavily involved league as well and right now my team is boring and stagnant here. I get on daily, I almost always post daily outside of stretches where I get really busy, like 18th-20th. |

And no I don't believe in posting 10 times in a sim thread unless I am talking with someone. I can easily talk about my team in one or two posts. It's ridiculous to claim that makes me less active than someone who makes 10 posts in a row about each individual game.

Posting twice might not engage another GM. Posting 10 times might. Sent from my SPH-D710 using proboards |

The only interaction someone like CC's daily sim recap causes is someone to tell him stfu.
Also it doesn't take 10 posts to engage a GM. It takes 1. Then you lead to discussion if it is merited. Sometimes people get so caught up in posting for the sake of posting, actual discussion is lost.

You and I have always differed on this point Spencer, no point in rehashing it. Some agree with you, some with me. Either way, it doesn't change how I feel.

I get on daily, I almost always post daily outside of stretches where I get really busy, like 18th-20th. never know what you can possibly recieve for Kobe, I find it hard to imagine a guy with 2 A+ ratings is at a lack of value. Honestly you may not get a player of the same caliber but the piece you'd get in that trade could very well make your team better. That's if you know what you're trading for. I'm not saying you have to, but a trade block proclaiming that you're open to offers is better than nothing at all right? Just the action is all that matters, you dont have to make a trade at all if you dont see fit. You say you run a league, how would you like if you sim everyday upload and the same group of GMs are the only ones posting all the time? You'd probably be frustrated too, wouldn't you? |

I disagree. I think if each GM tries to post 15-20 times a day the peoblen is fixed.

in this one topic, you've posted 7 times already... you're telling me you can't find something in the off-topic section to discuss for 10 post? Forget the sim post, you dont have to do a sim recap of 10 post. 10 post is the easiest thing possible to do if you really tried to do it.

I do know what I can get for Kobe. You seem to have this weird illusion that I don't participate in talking trade or that I haven't been around the majority of these GMs for years. |
