If I get relegated then I was planning on Khan or if he's too busy or whatever then you can do it or whomever.

How are you that desperate to cling onto “power”, that you’re now convinced that failing to set the schedule properly until I hound you for two weeks and then saying it’s not a big deal is “not doing what you want and you crying about it” and trying to make an in-season draft pick trade under the guise that we all agreed to it and then saying it’s not a big deal when we all complain is “not doing what you want and you crying about it”…
I’ve wanted you to step down since the start of this season, this is just the point where you’ve shown off your lack of communication skills enough times that it’s been worthwhile for me to actually say so out loud.Going to be getting progressively less and less active onsite due to work schedule, but still very accessible over Discord (find me in the MS Discord!).

says the guy that lied his ass off that I changed the relegation scheme so you and Panzer can be "in power"
.
I've already explained to you that I was having internet issues over the summer and you can only do the schedule on desktop. You didn't need to "hound" me about it, I was just physically unable to do it exactly when you wanted. And when I did get internet service back I did it that day. Now there was an "incident" where I did the schedule and then you noticed that there was a mistake you snapped at me on discord that I wasn't "doing it" but it was an easy fix, I just had to move a name or two around. It's an honest mistake and I'm far from the first person to make a mistake and have to fix it. So no it's not a big deal. Now maybe if I neglected to fix it then sure its a big deal but the schedule has been correct for months now.
I wanted to try out draft pick trading to see how it worked. Clearly, I was impacting the league and giving myself a HUUUUGGGEEEE advantage next year by swapping a worthless 16th rounder.

You did actually say that you didn’t see why changing the schedule mattered. Just like you are still saying that your draft pick trade didn’t matter. We never considered that “oh late draft pick trades are fine because they’re only for the lols right?”Going to be getting progressively less and less active onsite due to work schedule, but still very accessible over Discord (find me in the MS Discord!).

nice pivot.
You were previously fussing @ me for not doing the schedule when I didn't have the ability to do so and when you figured out that you had nothing there you switched to me slightly disagreeing with you that it's so incredibly important that we play division opponents in weeks 1, 2, 3, 12, 13 and 14. I still don't think it is but the schedule is still the waywant b/c hey,youIT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER WHAT WEEKS WE PLAY WHOMEVER
So your point is what? That I don't agree with you so i'm a bad commish? cry me a fucking river.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

The schedule isn’t something I came up with, Mith had a system he used every year and all I wanted was for you to use the thing that we’ve always been using. You can’t claim that you just did it to acquiesce to me when it’s a precedent that’s been in place for years.Going to be getting progressively less and less active onsite due to work schedule, but still very accessible over Discord (find me in the MS Discord!).

The document that I sent you to copy the schedule from was last edited by Mith in 2016. Which means the owner of the site has been trying to sabotage the league he gave to you to take over for five years since well before he stopped running the league.

but I mean, I really don't feel like scheduling isthatimportant, and who you play from week to week doesn't really matter. If your entire argument is just that we should always be using the Mith schedule then fine I guess. It doesn't really change anything one way or the other but keep grasping at them straws.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

My argument is that we should have been using this schedule all along. The argument you made was “why does it matter?” after you initially did it incorrectly. Thank you for ultimately doing it right, but we can still talk about how much of a struggle it was to get there.In post 562, Nero Cain wrote:but I mean, I really don't feel like scheduling isthatimportant, and who you play from week to week doesn't really matter.

You really are clinging to this power, huh? It’s a fantasy football league commissioner position, I very much do not feel any worse as a person for the fact that I don’t have that power.

Hounding you for weeks to fix the league everytime there's a documented problem while you go "I don't see the problem" is definitely a struggle. You being more concerned with the perception of doing this correctly than actually doing it correctly - ie "I didn't actually change anything except for that thing I changed in June and didn't work out how it affected long standing league rules and I refuse for literally weeks to clarify this" is definitely a struggle.

changing the playoffs (and the consolation bracket with it) didn't change how anything functions. If you want to argue that its a missed opportunity on my part to sit there and implement a change from a useless bracket to a mini playoff for the last two spots to avoid relegation then fine but since I didn't do that where's the change you've been whining about?In post 568, PJ. wrote:and didn't work out how it affected long standing league rulesOf all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

I have way more important things to do than this, good luck figuring it out man, hope you never get back to l1, sorry that you're such a sad and small person that you can't just give the shit to the person who was earnestly trying to help you w/ stuff and just make the league better because he's friends with someone you don't like.Sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich.- D3f3nd3r
