Yeah but he didn't know about it and when Steve/Ashes told him then he fixed it. It's not like this shit is in the rules (my fault probably) and he could look it up. We have all these unspoken rules that need to get written down. lol we're all adults here debatable

I realize this is a "sim," but let's look at real life for a moment. Philadelphia 76ers: Are they trying to win? No. They are intentionally trying to lose and are doing a really good job of it. The NBA even tried to change the draft rules. Kansas City Royals: How did the Royals get so good? They had a lot of years of high draft picks and made some great trades. I am pretty sure they were not actively trying to win when Alex Gordon was drafted. Houston Astros: How are they getting so many good prospects and high draft picks? In American Pro Sports, if a player gets hurt and could come back in the last few weeks/month or two of the season, a lot of coaches will hold them out for extra rest if their team is doing poorly. Do you really believe that if the Indiana Pacers are one of the worst three teams in the league this year and PG could come back in March/April that Larry will say "sure Paul. come back and win us a few more games to hurt our lottery chances." If you think all of these teams are in the wrong, then we will have to agree to disagree on this issue. I personally think mediocrity is the worst thing that can happen to a team. I'd rather be really bad than somewhere in the middle. Also, let's not forget that I DO NOT have the number 1 pick locked up. It's a tight race between MIN/NYM/TEX. love the 76ers plan

To me this is a horrible post in this situation lol. Obviously, we know tanking happens on purpose. But it needs to be done within the rules. Rules, that while not explicitly written out, you were breaking. I appreciate the fact that you changed everything once told to do so, but you still have Otero starting over Milton, you have a guy like Hiroshi sitting in your minors who could upgrade your lineup, and it doesn't appear that your DCs are set with the amount of tired players you have, etc. I'm on the fence about this actually. Need to watch WD to come up with an opinion.

Um didn't you lie about having the settings set from back when you had a good staff? Yep but I still changed them before the next sim which was his first argument before he changed it every time he was wrong Maxwell changed his settings as soon as I brought it up to him. And he didn't lie about it.
