How is it wrong? We could wait until the playoffs are done to start the discussion which would just make awards take longer to come out or we could do all the awards but playoff MVP in advance and just need to discuss 1 award and then vote on it. At the end of the day it's a regular season award. If you disagree with that fact then fine, maybe we can look at it in the future. But the fact is that this season (and every season in the league) had it voted on as a regular season award. How well you did in the playoffs holds no bearing whatsoever because that's not what the award is about. If it were then the winning GM would simply take it 95% of the time. What would happen, for example, if a GM left and someone else came in and took control of a team that was already setup to win the cup. When they inevitably do does that GM deserve the top GM award because they won the cup? I know it's an extreme example but it's possible to have it happen. It makes more sense to remove the playoffs from the equation since they can be so random and have so few games. How a GM handles the regular season is far more telling. This season a team went from 8th to 1st; that's top GM worthy. Quebec went from 3rd last year to tied for 2nd this year. I'm not saying Frank didn't do a great job with the team, but it's no surprise that they did well either. He could have done nothing and likely received the same result. Anyway, no point arguing about this. As people have said, Frank doesn't seem to be too heartbroken over it and the people who voted all have their reasons. Just so you are aware as well, the BOG is not a paid position. No need to imply anything related to that.

Locker Room access and player page moving will be done ASAP, likely tomorrow morning. I know you're all excited to get to your new teams.

I'm not saying he should have gotten 0 votes. And keep in mind I don't have a vote anymore. I'm simply stating how the voting goes for that award. The cup makes no difference. if it did then winning the cup would guarantee a top GM award which is both boring and makes no sense. Just as the first cup in 20 seasons has no bearing. Not only is it cup related but how does it change anything that it's been awhile? It's a regular season award, simple as that. I would argue Victory Cup has more of a bearing on it than Continental Cup does. Ultimately though it comes down to what GM made the best moves in regards to their team winning. Frank 100% deserved the cup, I'm not denying that and Quebec had a great season but what was done in Riga far deserves top GM more.

Aside from Playoff MVP all awards are for the regular season. Cup is irrelevant and in fact the award was voted on before the cup was even won. The reason Higgins got it last year wasn't because he won the cup. It was because he made the moves to put his team above and beyond the competition in order to win. It isn't that I think Frank did nothing, he built a great team. However it was a long process of slowly building Quebec up. Riga meanwhile went from a bottom feeder (more or less) to the victory cup in the span of 1 season. That's top GM material.

This is why I said there may be errors in that list haha. Was trying to get it out and likely missed some signings. Closing this and removing him from the list.

Beketov's proven strategy for making a playmaker: Aim to make a Sniper. Has worked for me on at least 3 different occasions haha

I prefer 2D shits. They just come out as a line.

Just getting us acquainted with all the processes involved in keeping the New World Order running and such. You know, standard things.

Sorry for the delay on getting this out. If there are any errors or if anyone was missed let me know.

The Toronto Legion's official stance on all this:

Last wins lotto, everyone has 33% chance at 2nd. Last doesn't win lotto, they get 2nd. That's the easy version anyway.

Fun fact: you've had 1 player more than me and I've been around 27 seasons longer.

I have also learned this. Are you only at 6?

well he did make it there so...gotta side with the rock on this one

He wasn't attacking anyone, don't make this into something it isn't. Honestly it is kinda a dirty technique but I guess we don't have any way around it.

1st OA. Wouldn't be the worst one ever.

Nevermind, I don't want to be involved anymore.

Not sure, happened to a few of them. I think when I copied his from 590 to MS the ones with randomizers kinda got locked to the aspect ratio they were at but when I copied them and they changed the new ratio didn't come with it so they got squished or stretched. It's weird but that seems to be the case.

There is no problem with having opinions on things, we all have opinions on things. In fact, opinions are exactly what the BOG does want. The problem is that you can't confuse opinions with fact and then argue to the death with anyone that disagrees with you. Disagreements are okay but going straight on the defensive and acting as if everyone is attacking you; while often being on the offensive yourself, doesn't rub people the right way. We want your opinions but acting as if you run this league and can say and do whatever you want will not fly, it's simple as that. You will not hold us hostage with these "my way or the highway" style statements.

I'd be cool with that.

I think I may have made that banner back in the day? It looks like my old style. Who knows though. I would also like to clarify that the odds of getting a 6 in the new review system have not changed as you imply they have, "While the chances of you getting an "auto 6" are still pretty high." Everything is still deemed 6/6 unless @DollarAndADream decides they shouldn't be worth that. The system isn't changing from how it is now in that regard. All that is changing is that instead of hiring PT staff everyone will be able to review topics.

*twitch* *twitch* Whatever education you are receiving is a waste. Please go watch every movie on IMDB's Top 250 List. Apparently starting with Star Wars.

Which is why I personally voted Muller. Just saying King has a good reason to be there as well.

yes I recognize these aren't from the same movie.
