If you truly believed the just worry about your own team mantra, when why are there any self imposed rules in this league at all?

Rules and guidelines for DC submissions, point systems, lux tax, FA, etc... Maybe were brought in and adopted via old league, many have been creating over the seasons here. Those are in place to ensure things run smoothly and timely. Lux tax is a means of checks and balances, and even new tanking rules are a new means of checks and balances. But none of these are threatening a GM with a coaching eviction notice.

I mean, ousting 1 person and making them take over another team... how do you develop any continuity? None of are "hired" for GM positions here. We joined, and a lot of us enjoy having our own team (although others have left and eventually come back and taken over another team). Being forced to lose your team, take over a team that you have paid no attention to over the course of season(s), and then if you don't meet benchmarks again... then fired again? I mean, a turnstile GM system like that would just create a bunch of shitty teams with GMs trying to scrap together (read: overpay) players that probably won't fit from a FA that is already pretty weak in substance to begin with. Long term, i think this could have more negative effects than postive.

But why do we need checks and balances if we're just worried about our own teams. I just felt that comment was really talking out of both sides of your mouth considering your history on votes of restrictive and punitive actions for certain teams if you truly believe in "just worry about yourself" is all

GMs should hold themselves accountable. We don't need big brother watching over us, setting our goals, removing us from the team, etc.

I would assume most GMs set goals for theirselves before each season anyway.


It's a decent idea in theory, ut I don't think it plays out like expected, and losing your team will mean losing GMs in the long run, I think.

Then why is Quail being nagged about tanking?

That's cool, we can do away with lux tax and tanking rules. No more checks and balances needed then.

That's fine. We don't need to derail the convo so you can be right. You're right.

And I still stand by that comment. That's a more viable option to curb tanking then having big brother looking over loterry teams.
