Last point on this. As I explained to you on BB Mail, I'm not going to sit here and say I wasn't purchasing that guy to help out A Dub so he can continue his run at B3 title which is a huge accomplishment and it's a great promotion of how good our NBBA in the US is. I told you I didn't think a 250k transaction would set off a fire storm in a league that the average team salary is what, 600k a week? It didn't occur to me that a meaningless transaction like that would offend the rest of the league to the extent it has. After all the help he has provided other owners, it was is seemingly his last chance at achieving the ultimate...yes he is a good dude. I helped him out a little bit. But the insinuation that this was some sort of collusion with promises being made back to me is simply not true. No matter how much people claim the opposite to be true or no matter how often the 12 year old dude gay bashes Yuck. He listed the player, I saw the listing on the league front page. I made the bid. End of story.

So why did you buy him? What was your reasoning since you acknowledge that he was overpriced and you're tanking? I know that all NBBA teams have very specific reasons to buy any player - but I can't understand your purchase of this player under any reasonable, strategic reasoning - I think regardless of the transfer price, but especially if you believed him to be overpriced.

edit - I see that you acknowledged that you bought him as a favor for A-Dub. I don't think you're allowed to do that under the prohibition against transferring money rule.

Your post makes no sense. The only reasonable explanation for buying 2 39 year olds and a sixth man for these prices is that you are a newbie and don't understand this game yet. And the odds of buying 3 players from the same team - ?

I am a big fan of this game, and A-Dub as well for that matter. I cheer him on in B3 when I get the chance. I buy supporter every year, and have made donations to BB.

In my humble opinion...a line was crossed in this instance. It's almost like if Kanye West decided to start a GoFundMe page. I actually have no problem with A-Dub listing the players and advertising them on the offsite. I think the real issue is the use of the word "loan" and offering to re-acquire players to repay "loans." I don't think we should be allowed to borrow money back and forth with other owners in this game. At that point it becomes a popularity contest. The game is supposed to be difficult and like Jason said, instead of purchasing that one extra dominant piece, A-Dub probably should have budgeted a little better.

With that said I don't think Hoosier did anything wrong. I don't believe his intent was to purchase a player from A-Dub and get repaid down the road. All things considered I don't think this is a HUGE issue and a punishment (if any) should be minor. Just my 2 cents.

Hi, everyone.

I don't feel like going back through and deleting the majority of the posts in the past few pages, although I probably should. The rules to specify that cheating accusations are not to be made in the public forums, and there's been enough skirting of that rule here that I do need to ask that we please stop discussing the topic. I trust everyone's had a chance to put their opinion in by now.

I also want to mention that personal attacks are also not allowed. I'm very flexible on how I interpret that, especially when people are long-time league rivals and in many cases friends, but please try not to make me have to actually do something about it.

Finally, a pre-emptive warning that discussions about staff decisions, whatever they may be, are also against the rules of the game.

I had a pretty good weekend minus the loss to the Cacti last night. Race going to be tight for #4-#6.

My cousin who is on the spectrum had his college graduation. NYCFC beat Tim Howard and the league's leading defense 5-1 including a Frank Fucking Lampard hat trick. While I couldn't attend the game, a guy in my season ticket group informed me of that our seats are perfectly covered and rain didn't affect them at all! Julian Fucking Green had a hat trick for against Inter Milan for FCB! I think his position change to CF really been great. Not creative enough for a winger or #10 but has great physical tools. Getting started on my class F license with US Soccer soon.

With the conventions over I am prepping my AP US Gov class. What a time to be alive right now. Working on a website to help teachers flip their class for Global History and US Gov.

Also beginning to the prep workouts and tactics for my high school team. I have a super quick athletic point guard but nothing really else so I need to figure out what to do when other teams beginning zoning and junk defending him.

That home-and-home stand at the last week of a season, deprived of 1m in arena revenue for so long, ain't that a b*tch. When life hits you hard negligence in less pressing matters, such as games, is inevitable. You learn and you live. This season was the most challenging and mentally draining by far, yet for those whom are heavily invested in wins and losses, my record is deceptive. Amiss this chaos, perhaps the most animosity in a NBBA "smack" thread ever, today It just got even more challenging, as in coming weeks, I will need to play with one less key player on my roster. This is a challenging game and that's what motivates me to continue to compete. I have much to prove. I'm going out with a fight.

that is a fearsome set of guards you have assembled. if Castenada should sell for what you are asking, then you should be able to get a comparably good big man or two. next season would be bad enough; i hope you are unable to do this before the end of this season!

But thanks for noticing. I was afraid I'd dropped close to ten million on guards for no reason 😂
