Um, why didn't you just give the Cards to the consensus more deserving candidate?

I must spread rep around..

Its first come first serve assuming the person knows OOTP when it is a team in need of rebuild and Haf has success. Haf beat Leo by a few minutes, that's the rules. The fact that Leo will get the next team, creating in effect a temporary waiting list is me trying my best to be fair. The fact that I saw Leo wanted in, missed out again, and was willing to give him a team that I would normally hold and wait for Crazy (he was the only one I was willing to let them go for) again shows me trying to accommodate.

Like it or not though, we do things a certain way here. I did my best to try to get him in, but Haf got the team fair. He has sent in offers and I think he will stick it out with the Cards.

Normally, I would not disagree with your judgment on anything regarding S3F but you're putting your cards (literally!) on a guy who's had multiple teams in this league, and other leagues, and quit those very multiple times. It's like Norv Turner or Doug Collins.

Dude, I don't care about other leagues. I think it is pretty clear that Haf has been a S3SL'er despite fleeting interest elsewhere. The guy can win, he can turn around a team and he can make the playoffs. I think Haf knows if he drops out again, it would be a bit hard to get back in another time, but I wouldn't give him the Cards.... a team in desperate need of a turnaround, if I didn't think he had the skills to turn them around if he put the effort toward it. You guys don't have access to my PM box, but Haf has regularly PM'ed me about the league and his desire to join again, literally for a few months.

I am really happy crazy is back, but at the time I didn't know how long his abscence would roll over and I made the decision to let Leo take over the Royals. We had two people wanting a team, within minutes of each other, and I made a decision that seemed to satisfy both at the time.

I left this league by resigning and never going inactive. The two teams I had (Pittsburgh and Detroit) I rebuilt both, acquiring Detroit by trading with YOU, Ziti, when you couldn't get the job done with them. I rebuild PIT, won a title, rebuilt Detroit, won a title, and then resigned a few seasons later. I didn't disappear or anything. I had life changes (as everyone has at some point) going on. I tried to come back in other leagues, lost net access, moved three times, changed jobs... no different than a lot of teams in this and other leagues.

Really have no need to explain myself. You can say all you want, it's your right. Appreciate the opportunity to come back to S3SL, now that I've got life items in order, and I'm anxious to rebuild the Cards.

And I can't wait for Leo to get a team, because hes a great fellow as well. I've been back on the boards for months, showing I have no issues in hanging around again. Don't really see the issue, and I appreciate Mission being cool about everything.

The truth comes out!

[browntown653]

Is that Prov in the S3SL forum?

[missionhockey21]

The truth comes out!

Heh, well I personally do. But as a lawman of S3SL, GM's or potential GM's for this league could pillage and plunder in the other leagues and their sins would not be held against them.

nygiantsfan is a good example, a non-S3SL example. He didn't really get into it over here, but obviously digs the other leagues. His inactivity here shouldn't count anywhere but here.

Rock on Haf, glad to have you back.

Guys, I am sorry, I am always going to want the familiar faces to come back if able and if they can do the job. If McKain or Waruv stopped by, I'd likely push out one of you that I don't like very much. That didn't factor in here as I gave the first team to Haf and the second team to Leo, as the order they posted in. But I always dig you guys coming back and it makes the league better for it. browntown coming back was great for example.

Aww. Why thank you.
