Man I wish each auction didn't end so early. I'm probably the only person besides Dujek who loses at least 6 hours each time and I am ready to roll!Originally Posted by BLeonard

I always thought the buyback as the cap reduction was enough. You don't need to take away days of auctions. If they have that penalty, they will be unable to bid too high anyway.
Well, Bedard runs the auctions, so dunno why you're telling me...
I don't see how you lose "6 hours each time" since most all of the auctions have started at 8-9 AMish and don't end until 3 PM EST... They are blind bids, so as long as you can log in once during the day, see who's up and PM Bedard your bid, time shouldn"t play a factor...
But, if you have an issue with the auction times, Bedard's the guy to talk to.... He's the "Gamemaster."

My only suggestion would be that if you can't sell on your own you're stuck with her.
But the rules are set as they are so we will play by them.
I pulled a Clump but I don't care...This chick is absolutely smokin' and Mikey, since I own this chick, you need my permission to "enjoy" her from now on.
You do realize that you only have a little over $9,000 left, don't ya? you got no chance to win the game now.

It's not about winning a game.
It's about building a stable that you're proud of.
A stable for display every time you post.
S11, myself, Clumpy, Luis...we've already won in our own minds.
Get it?
Now go out there Michael....and make your Historian proud!
Why can't we do both...have a stable we're proud of AND have the ability to compete for the win?It's not about winning a game.

They're both in Europe, so the game starts later for them, when they're less likely to be on. Basically the equivalent of the people complaining that they are only on in the evening here, so they miss out.Well, Bedard runs the auctions, so dunno why you're telling me...

There's too much money floating around out there to make this the only penalty.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
I don't understand. You have a hard cap of 200,000. If a person sells back someone they bought for 80,000, they only have 173,334 left to spend to their cap. The cards will cost what they will cost and at a cap hit of what it will be.
I think we're on different pages. Right now as the rule stands the only penalty the seller faces is he loses ZB's based on the buy back is 1/3 the face value.
The modification would place a delay on your next eligible auction a cap penalty of 10K and the buyback figure. The goal is to make FA a last resort, which makes my life easier and it should curb this crazy 100K+ trend.
Ok, yeah we were on a different page. I didn't know the 10,000 was in addition to the buyback figure. That penalty is much harsher than I thought it was. It's fine with me, I didn't like people dumping their cards either.
Some nice choices on your anniversary thread. There are some ones that will have a lot of bids.
