I don't know what the hell format you were using, but this isn't S3SL or whatever. Please follow the format in the FAQ; we've only been using it since forever.

[Providence A's]

shit was backwards, commas, etc. seems like it took more work to do it like it was originally.

contact hitters make me horny, bebbe

[Providence A's]

no, I'm just particular and try to make things easy on myself. It's not a life threatening issue, but backwards, yes...it should at least be "Anaheim Trades:" not "Anaheim Receives"...the rest is just aesthetics I guess. I just don't see why it's such a big deal to do it how a commish wants it. Every league is different, but I'm just trying to make things uniform and easier on myself.

[realmofotalk]

Heh, I would have guessed that the issue was about blue and gold stars.

[Providence A's]

oh, and if I was truly being anal about it, I would have failed it and made you guys type it up correctly. I didn't. All I asked is that you follow the format in the future. I don't see what is so hard about that. It's very easy.

Which is what the S3SL trade council has warned that they would do.

Ruling in favor of the defendant, John from Providence.

I can't tell if he's serious or what kind of tone this was said in. Maybe he is just TSSL's finest.

lmfao

i remember when prov sent me back a trade because i had typed it up before the offseason rolled over, and one guy was now making $350,000 instead of the $300,000 i had typed. he had me re-type it and send it back to him

I remember when Giantsfan bathed in olive oil.

You guys are too hard on Prov. He runs this league for a reason: you guys. The fact that you all can't respect a few simple rules he puts out offends me as a commishoner, and I'm sure it REALLY offends him.

He has rules. So what. He's more anal about them than some people... yeah, probably. But that doesn't make him a bad person, and obviously, you all still enjoy his league because it shows when you guys get so uptight over this stuff.

Chill out and type the trade out the correct way next time is all... I mean, if you don't like it, you all could always quit. But it's evidence that none of you guys want to do that. I dunno, I just don't see why Prov gets so much hate.

[nick]

Every commish is going to be different when it comes to sim leagues.... prov runs things very efficiently, probably as efficient as any league I've been in. He rarely misses a sim, never once (well, maybe once or twice) has screwed up one of my changes, and is very professional. Not to say Mission or Crazy aren't, but Prov is very good at what he does. If he wants to add a few extra rules or directions to make life easier on himself, I really don't see the harm.

It isn't that hard to read and follow directions anyway... I realize that it is kind of silly that the argument here is the difference in trade write-up, but if Prov wants you guys to write it a certain way I just don't see why it's such a problem. He does run the league, you know.
