If u accepted the 3 trades that were posted MARGINALLY after the trading period was over which of the managers would protest gb?

If theres a majority of ppl protesting then Im ready to forgo tht part.I think its just too much strictness on ur part to make trades void because they were 3 hrs past the Aussie midnight!

ok let me give you a situation...

If i allow you to have the trades, then during the season someone who is playing you posts there side 3 hours late, they come out and beat you, would you want the game to be called a forfeit???

I think you would...

This is the reason i am not allowing them to go ahead, as it opens me up for all different trouble throughout the season...

This isn't the first time you've failed to meet a deadline Sriram, so you shouldn't be trying to make excuses.
Cloete - the Round 5/6 draft results are still on the first page of the forum and aren't hard to miss. It pays to look at general posts as well as the topped posts mate.

yes last time it was by abt 1 hr I think.But for some reason I had no doubt in my mind tht trade deadline was sun! And I was not alone cause even board members were unsure of the deadline!

Im still not asking u to accept the trades by yourself gb.Have a discussion and decide it out.It cannot be compared to submitting teams as I was in the receiving end once and I accepted it.I know its a very tough decision for u GB but noting tht there wouldnt be many managers protesting a decision to accept the trades u could either accept them or decide a bit of extension of the trading period after a discussion with other board members.

Those board members have no excuses either. It's all there in black and white in the Rounds 5 & 6 draft results thread.
GB is the owner of WCC and has the right to make executive decisions without having to consult anybody else. The board is there to offer advice and assistance when GB requests it, but he has the final say.

I wouldnt! I think its just fair if teams are in b4 u sim ur games.If they r posted after u simmed them then its too bad 4 them.

And you have to see both the situations in different light as thats a decision on a single game and this would affect my team 4 a whole season.

Knowing Gb a bit , I dont think GB would stamp his authority that way on the game! But now its up to u GB to discuss or announce ur final say on the matter!

I'd like to take this oppurtunity to compliment the board and in particular GB on his stance on this issue. Rules are layed to keep WCC running effectively and to stop pursuits, if they are broken then everyone will want to break them, and that could insight anarchy.

I think there should be voting in this case Gb cause most of the managers want the trades to continue atleast till tonite.
But most of the managers don't run the game, GB and the board do, and if deadlines are set, they must be kept.

ok atleast consider allowing the trades tht took place b4 u closed it....
Why? They're still past the deadline.

3 trades took place and are ruled out, both Rich and I have accepted the ruling, Aditya isn't even here to deal with it.

Rules are rules mate, and in your case there's no excuse for it since you can't even blame the other party to the trade for not being on!

Get over it Sriram. GB is going to stand firm. He set a deadline, and you missed it. Its tough, but its not the end of the world. Hey, there always next season...

I still think there shud be a discussion with other board members and votes shud decide whether ppl get to confirm trades completed a couple of hrs after the deadline.
If you're going to do that, why bother having a deadline at all?

Even if it goes to a vote, there's 7 on the board, and 4 have said in this thread that they want to keep the rule enforced!

but m8 I didn't submit my 5th and 6th draft picks as I have been offline from Sunday till Wednesday (as it was i didn't go on till thursday cause it must have been back up after 10PM) as my internet was cut off. and when i returned the squad profiles thread was up. so i looked in that and it told me who i got from the 5th and 6th round. and for some reason the 5th and 6th draft picks topic didn't appear as new. so there was no point in me reading it. when the internet was finally back up i asked a few ppl and they all said it was either sunday or they didn't know!! HOW ON EARTH WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE 5TH AND 6TH DRAFT PICK THREAD(which didn't appear as new!) WOULD CONTAIN TRADE DEADLINES?? wouldn't it have been better to post a topic?? so i had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that the deadline was saturday!!!
Small point, but surely you would've read that thread to find out who you got, or how could you have traded?

Sriram, how many times do you have to be told, a deadline is a deadline - whether it's missed by 1 minute or 3 days, it's still missed, and the only people to blame for missing it are the managers who've not got their trades done in time.

I myself am one of those, because I wasn't aware Razzaq was up for a posible trade, and with him in my side, the team is a fair bit stronger, but it went through after the deadline, so it's hard luck.

A missed deadline is the same for anything - I for one would protest if these trades were accepted since it's against the rules clearly put up.

No point in discussing with other board members, since a majority has already been established (including 2 members who would benefit from the trades being allowed)

They're still clear deadlines that are missed.

A game deadline is put in so GB can sim the games when he gets a chance, since he can't guarantee to do it at the same time each week, he sets a deadline in advance of that date.

If it affects your team so much, why didn't you post it a few hours earlier, since it's not as if negotiations would've been ongoing!

ok I accept it.I was only asking 4 the ruling to be voted and it has been done vehemently against me.

Now roll on next season (only if aditya doesnt kill me 4 not getting it done on time...b4 u ppl remind me...ok it was my fault waiting 4 the last day)!! :)
