Silent Auction Draft Game (AFL Version)

[Nieso]

So I could have PM'd and just stated "what ever the leading bid is on player xxxx just add an extra $1 so I get him??

[Big Sledge]

Big Sledge ??

When I sent the PM I was under the impression we could go over & cut, because if I did go over it wasn't going to be by much anyway.

After that I state that if I reach my cap space stop giving me players.

Which meant I should've stopped getting players from Zaha down.

[James Pattinson]

I wasn't the only person to do this throughout the game and this was the only round I did it.

I said if that wasn't allowed, which by the fact others had done it before me implied it was. I was quite happy for my original set of bids (ie If I snared buddy) given the cap space I had the only person who could've out bidded me was Narkee. This was a proviso so I got two KPF (which I did) and no more than that.

IMO, it should have been outlined at the start of the game, but I am not running the game or participating in it.

But in all the draft games, only extreme circumstances allow bids to be re-submitted (ie. the runner of the game makes a mistake and awards a player wrongfully to someone, but only realises once a new list of players has been released and bids have been entered for the new list).

No because that would've been directly cheating.

Rather than discreetly you mean

[Big Sledge]

Sorry BS but that PM near top of this page requires a University Degree to fuckin get it right...way to complicated my friend

Yeah it was convoluted, but to be fair spud nailed most of it. I went through to double check I was under cap & when I worked out I wasn't I owned up. When I sent that message everything in it was considered fair game.

It was after that it was contested, I even said I don't care if people resubmit after.

I didn't fucking cheat

[Nieso]

I am still shaking my head but TBH this is just a game and I dont really give a rats arse what the outcome is.

I just hope this opens eyes to what is required to run one of these games.

Rules are pretty simple and I would be happy to assist anyone on how these games could be run.

Believe me I am no expert but I would say I have run all draft games successfully thus far by sticking to a few simple rules.

Pretty certain JP and a few other of the Soccer guys would agree

OK, but you hedged your bets which some may deem as not in the spirit of the draft game

Look I admit that was a bit sketchy in hindsight but it was in no way cheating. As I said the precedent was set by others who did similar though out the back end of the draft.

Just don't call me a cheat, I created an advantage with the salary cap I had left. I was saving it for buddy at the back end of the draft for a game which was meant to consist of 30 rounds. It got cut short because we had 5 people with cash left and we had a massively stacked final round. I wanted to maximise the cash advantage I had built up. I'm not even the only one in this round that did it.

[Nieso]

BS please don't think I am pissed at you, because that is far from the truth.

As far as creating an advantage with the salary cap you had left...well you went over it didn't you

[Narkee]

Stop arguing bitches.

Trade period?

[Drewy_GFC]

The tactics were questionable, I argued against them, however this was settled prior to the round. Spud made his ruling and gave everyone a chance to rebid if they wanted. Dodgy yes, but it was allowed so that is the end of it really.

[Nieso]

Looking for a key forward, look over my list and give me a like for like...and don't try and pull a swifty on me as I was not born yesterday (fuck off with your pending retort about my age cunts!)

[Nieso]

PM it to me as I am off to bed
