Steviekick Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 The Great Khali I'm going to poach another monster for the Order.
Cran Da Maniac Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Is there any chance we can get an update in the thread on who's been dealt by who?
TheFranchise Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I think its all well and good that we aren't telling people our trades.. but I think the big board should be updated, as i'm fed up of pm'ing someone and getting 'sorry, I traded him days ago' response.
Steviekick Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Not that I care, but no one has been expressed any interest in my roster. If a trade is made, it should be announced.
Cran Da Maniac Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I was honestly wondering if you had any trade offers. You seem like the only person who seemed to have a relative idea of who you wanted on your roster and got a ton of people that fit that. I find it a lot harder to deal for somebody myself if I know that the other person has big plans on them.

That's the thing, I thought that mellow was going to post any trades he's gotten word of when both posters PM him.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I thought he was going to wait until after the scavenger round was over.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 I thought he was going to wait until after the scavenger round was over. That is correct, although I believe that everybody's time is up by now, so I will likely post when I get a moment. I also want to space the announcements out just a little bit, mostly because I want reactions. Reactions, damnit! Also, are there people who are still interested in the 24-hour scramble clusterfuck bonus round?
TheFranchise Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Nah, now Khali has gone walkies, I don't have any interest in the scramble.
Steviekick Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Scramble and Clusterfuck are my two favorite words. Count me in!
naiwf Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I'm in favor of the extra round to pick as well.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 I'm in favor of the extra round to pick as well. You can swipe up to, let's say, five unlisted talents in this round... You can just stake your claims any time within the 24-hour period. When it officially starts, of course.
Cran Da Maniac Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Are we still not allowed to trade anybody who we had previously traded for?

Brett Favre Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Lets announce those trades man! I've heard some good things.
TheFranchise Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Lets announce those trades man! I've heard some good things. Ditto. I also would be able to see who I was still able to trade.
Hawk 34 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I realize that I’m probably in the minority right now and it might stem from frustrations about broken trades and miscommunication but I believe we really should’ve had a cap on the amount of trades. For myself in particular, I spent the whole time on this project making intricate designs and crafting ideas, concepts and personalities. Now, it seems that so many people are completely transfixing their roster that they spent that time building. It feels somewhat tainted that the effort we spent trying to put the right pieces together along the way are being tossed aside in a mad scramble of confusion, politicking and bad timing with mismanagement. I would’ve loved to have seen what the presentation of those rosters would’ve have offered without being altered by these trades. I'm not saying these trades haven't improved rosters or allowed for new and perhaps "better" material for us but there's a definite feeling of something lost.
Brett Favre Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Maybe, but these trades ease the pain of getting those guys that would have shaped the roster the way you wanted to. It's a two way street anyway.
Guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I am making (am going to make?/have talked about) one trade thus far that fits in perfect with my roster and gets rid of a piece that may not quite fit.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 For the millionth time 909...STOP PMing everyone about trading Sgt. Craig Pittman!!!
Guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I've been had!
Maztinho Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 The few trades I've been brewing actually allow me to get a roster that is more in-line with what I was able to pick up, a more concise roster that works better on a lot of levels.
Hawk 34 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 If anyone has a good offer for TAZ, let me know. I've decided it's a do-able move.

The Ghost of bps21 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah!!! Our trade was first!!! So anyway...basically what happened here was that I had HBK fall into my lap and while that was awesome...I had already plotted out a bunch of stuff that I wanted to do (including getting Owen Hart over as a top level heel with his JJ Dillon led stable) that HBK sorta got in the way of. It was a good problem to have though and I had started figuring him into the stories... Then Franchise offered me Angle and Petey and I decided that it fit better with what I was trying to do. It's a problem that really comes from what I can do with Angle that I can't do with HBK. I can put Angle against a top Mexican or Japanese guy...and it can be a big time match. I don't like the way HBK matches up with most of my roster. Most of them are smaller and faster than he is...and while that's fine it takes away my favorite thing that HBK does and that's bump his ass off. The only people I have to use HBK for with that is Taker and Hansen...at least at the top (I don't see him bumping around for Matt Morgan...ahem). Angle gave me a different way to go. A guy who can believably stand with Taker and Hansen as a legit fighter...and a guy who can pro wrestle Steamboat and Hart and steal the show. I'm gonna make him a no comedy straight shooting wrestler. He can be the top guy in my promotion...and he can work with the lower guys and get them over just by making them look good. HBK wasn't quite as good at the latter. Oh...and Petey just fit with all my other small fast guys.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Posted August 29, 2008 Mazto has acquired Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue Brooklyn Zoo has acquired Jake Roberts and Magnum T.A.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Well...at least they stayed together. JAKE ROBERTS vs. MAGNUM T.A. LOSER MUST SHAVE HIS STACHE!!!! BOOK IT!!!!
