0 Subject: VOTE: NBA All-Star Break policy

Posted by: Bernie H. - [395452711] Mon, Feb 04, 2002, 12:26
I'd like to ask any interested Ultimate Fantasy Hoops players to participate in a quick vote. Should there be daily price updates during the 4 days of the NBA All-Star Break?

Please use this thread only to cast your vote. This issue has been hotly debated in the following separate thread: http://rotoguru1.com/cgi-bin/mb/hoop/7246.shtml?1012846529.

Please vote either:
1. Yes. There should be a price update on each of the 4 days of the NBA ASB.
2. No. There will be no price updates during the 4 days of the NBA ASB.

Voting will close at the end of today, Monday, Feb. 4.

Thank you,
Bernie, TSN

Flying Pollack, this is just more evidence that the 2 guys running this game are KNUCKLEHEADS

As much as I agree with the need to abide by the rules, the proposed change is an improvement in every conceivable respect. If someone's price is going to change over the break, why do we want those changes to happen 5 times? TSN should have realized this was coming several weeks ago, especially since they've done it for baseball and hockey, and given everyone ample notice. But I still think the net benefit of the change outweighs the principle at stake.

I would honestly prefer to have the time off during the break, but I think you've got to stick with the rules as they were stated to maintain credibility.

It is now Monday (4th). The new change in strategy would occur on Friday. The other players not using this forum will probably not have a clue until tomorrow when you announce it once new trades are distributed, so I guess you should keep daily price updates during the ASB.

      Mon, Feb 04, 2002, 17:15 		Bernie, I am getting concerned about a couple of things. One - why do you put so much value on what is written in this forum? It is a minority of TSN players and with the treatment you get from some of them I am surprised you reply at all let alone seek their input in ratifying decisions. Two - when will the announcement appear on the TSN web page? I have not seen any word of it except for on this forum. Personally I don't care what happens over ASB but you must tell everyone not just the few hundred who use this forum.

      Mon, Feb 04, 2002, 18:00 		Okay. There are obviously a lot more Yes's than No's. In this case, although it runs counter to our original decision, we are going to process the daily price updates during the Break, since that's what's implied in our rules.

An announcement will be made on the site immediately.

Bloody Geoff, regardless of how we're treated or what the relative percentage of all users is here, we greatly respect the opinions of all RotoGuru.com patrons. If we could poll every one of our users, we would, but otherwise, the people here always give us ample and timely feedback.

Thanks,

      Tue, Feb 05, 2002, 10:44 		Let me add that this is not a democracy -- it's a dictatorship. Ultimately, Bernie and I are comfortable making decisions that represent TSN and the best interests of the games. HOWEVER, we often feel that Gurupies -- the most loyal of our players -- have the best reads on how our decisions will affect them. So, while the voices on this board represent a fraction of our total audience, they seem to be most articulate and passionate about our games, which is why we take them so seriously.

Apologies, it was meant for rhetorical purposes only. Would you be more comfortable with the term Republic? Or perhaps the TSN Kingdom? Seriously, was not trying to offend.

      Tue, Feb 05, 2002, 12:40 		If a roster is invalid during ASB due to players traded and slots not yet filled, do the remaining players on the team continue to see price changes, or is that team's value frozen until the roster is valid again? If this is answered elsewhere, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks.
