Stop Trolling

[Mike - Former Wild GM]

I think some people on this site need to just chill out and enjoy the damn place rather than complain about every tiny thing that should never have affected their lives. It's that kind of reaction to everything that destroys the fun in things.

[Colorado Avalanche GM]

Ay, I'm not going to argue this further. I brought up the point, maybe you guys will be a wee bit more serious in terms of league based-stuff now.

[Justin]

If it was directed even slightly at me, the point was moot, since it was based on ignorance and assumptions.

[Mike - Former Wild GM]

lmao take what seriously? Jesus, anyone on here that remotely takes anything as serious as the reasoning behind this stupid thread needs to remove the pickle from their ass, take a deep breath and fucking enjoy life a little more. This site is fun, someone was trying to have fun and wasn't hurting anyone, and in comes the shit-police shitting all over the fun. Fuck off shit police. Come back when you have a smile.

EA NHL police are like Grand Theft Auto police... you lightly bump their car, and they want to kill you for it.

[Pittsburgh Penguins GM]

If that is considering fun and everybody joins in, I will be putting end to auctions period. I don't consider making my working anymore difficult than it needs to be fun. I Will put and end to auctions before everybody joins in and makes this a regular occurrence. There are many ways to have fun that don't involve making my life more difficult. I will not sort through 20 random bids to find a winner.

[Justin]

Again, all I am looking for here is some clarification. Did I do something wrong, or are we talking about other people? If I did something, what was wrong? Thinking ever-so-slightly outside the box? Bidding based on the current trend of messed up auctions and injured players? I cannot help what other people do, and I cannot help if they make a mockery out of my legitimate attempts to participate in auctions. This was the first auction I won something in, and people are shitting all over the place over it.

...like...really.... can someone tell me what the hell the problem is here?

[Pittsburgh Penguins GM]

Once everybody starts doing it, I will put an end to it. I am not going to spend hours sorting through the pile of nonsense bids to finally get to the real one. I already had to put and end to people doing stupid bids just to throw people off. I will not process any auctions if they just become a joke. I will not waste my time. If you are intentional making a bid that you know is not going to win, you are just slowing down the process, The process of auctions that will no longer take place if this is what people choose to do. But everybody has a choice.

[Mike - Former Wild GM]

I totally get what you're saying Cook, but do you not kind of find this thread both rude and inappropriate? Justin made a bid on the belief some of those picks may have been void, and OTHERS proceeded to post after him hoping to outbid him should the original high bid be voided. How is that trolling at all?

What? Doing what? No one is telling me what it is I am doing. I am NOT making bids I know will lose, or I would not waste my time. This is stupid. Ever since I joined this site, I have been told I have to build my team a certain way. I listen to half of that, and said fuck it, I am doing my own thing for the other half. I was ridiculed for the draft when I took an 80 in the 2nd round and piled up a bunch of 70s with later picks. Then I made the playoffs that season and everyone shut the fuck up.

Now, because I have won 2 auctions via a unique strategy no one else thought of, I am ruining all auctions, and you are going to stop them? Give me a fucking break, dude.

You guys have so many god damned rules on HOW we can build teams, its no wonder fucking wonder people are dropping off sim sites like flies.

[Pittsburgh Penguins GM]

you didn't win any auctions with any unique strategy. You won becuase you were the highest bidder, Any of the ones you randomly bid on you lost. You are not the first one to do this random bidding even though there are 3 bids already placed that are higher. And magicaly you didn't win those. I had to put up with about ten other bids done the same way as people thought it was fun to follow. LOL. Yes so much fun. Well, no it isn't any fun for me to sort through garbage bids and try and found the real bids in the mess. I am very glad the JMCOOK LOCKOUT is getting near.

[Pittsburgh Penguins GM]

Maybe time to put an end to all sim sites. I guess my moving impossed lockout will allow me the time to think that one over. Thanks for the suggestion

[Florida Panthers GM]

not really man . You'll wish the JMCook lockout never came

I volunteered 5 times over the past 3 months to take care of those for you. If finding the highest number is too much, assign the job to someone. You do a shit-ton around here. Let others carry some of the load for you.

[Tampa Bay Lightning GM]

Canes you can call it "strategy", but at the end of the day it's just a way for you to fuck around with auctions to annoy not only Yotes but also other members on the site (including myself). Cover it up as you wish (with your so called "strategy"), because I know you won't admit it.
