    You've also had about 3 days to turn it in as well. So it's not like its been one day then oh yeah just turn it in either. Not to mention the week of the contraction draft to at least scout guys to see who you're offering too.

    But when someone posts a deadline I adjust my short term schedule (which includes more than just OOTP related things) according to that.

    How would it be fair to pull the rug out from under me just because I wasn't as gung-ho as others?

    I shouldn't be punished for not having my PM ready to go with my finger on the send button so I can send it right when the thread's posted.

    I mean, what's the point of a deadline if we don't abide by it?

    I can see what your saying here. But this is not usual where you have more than a week to look at the FA class despite the contraction guys out there. So its not like people didn't scout this time either.

    That may be true, but it doesn't negate the fact that I mentally prepared my weekend schedule around a Monday deadline.

    It simply wouldn't be fair to pull the rug out and do the sim on such short notice.

    Changing it to tomorrow wasn't as big of a deal because he changed it well in advance. What you was suggesting wasn't quite the same.

    In retrospect, maybe Molina could have taken that extra time into account and not schedule so much time for the free agency period from the get-go. Then I would have seen a Saturday deadline and done my PM much sooner due to the more constrained time.

    This is all moot anyways. My PM is in and the sim is tomorrow.

    It is. And Molina got like 6 PMs within like 4 hours of it be posted so I think most of them have their stuff in anyway.

    That's why I said I could change it back to Monday if it caused a problem for anyone. I gave it that much time originally because I though there might be offers coming in throughout the period and some going back and forth resubmitting offers because players didn't like teams. As it is, until last night I had no offers submitted after about the first 24 hours of posting the start time.
    Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.
