I, a la Canada’s Coach Winzer, will be choosing not to compete and resign my spot in the league.

Why do I feel like I'm missing something that's happening...

If trojansc is serious, we'd be down 3 people. How many is critical loss and at what point to we pull the plug on the whole thing? fwiw, I'd be in favor of continuing on and ruling their players out of competition or something

Can we just go back to regular rules for the whole season?

Not sure how this is going to be salvaged, but if the current leader (avid) is out and a perennial fantasy threat (Trojansc) is out.... kinda takes the fun out of winning it this year .

Why do I feel like I'm missing something that's happening... You're not alone. We're trying to figure out what's going on. Then, if needed, we can discuss options.

I resign my spot as well. I went against my better judgment doing this again given that shhhh would be an admin, but after some people suggested I do it, I threw my hat in the ring..... I had my suspicions regarding the fairness that would be extended when I saw that Vup, Madden, and myself were all the last three in the draft. Coincidence? Maybe…. But given that we are all on shhhhh’s attack list, it certainly didn’t go unnoticed. But I didn’t make a stink about it. The subtle jabs (like both admins liking Kingsley's post about everyone wanting me to lose) weren’t appreciated, and the outright obvious mudslinging (like shhhhh personally attacking me and throwing my picks in particular under the bus on the public thread) was completely uncalled for and showed that they were not impartial. I have been falsely accused in PM of manipulating trojansc to somehow get my way re changing the substitution rules. This was all untrue, but it didn’t stop the admins from believing what they wanted to further their own preconceived opinion and agenda when it came to me to try and talk down to me. I should have left then, but I decided that staying in and winning their league was the best response. With so many other posters also experiencing their own displeasure with this season, I feel like my own experience on this season is very justified and I’m ok resigning. I appreciate the effort both admins put into this, it’s a time suck and I do actually appreciate them admining without actually playing. Also, FWIW, I think it’s been shhhhh’s animosity that has driven these issues that I have experienced.

As if there was ever *any* remaining doubt, A.Y. continues to prove that he is and has always been petulant, pathetic, puerile garbage. Just utter garbage that never grew up, never matured, and never displayed even a shred of decency or class. A true joke of a human being, and one who exemplifies exactly what the volleyball community thinks of this forum. I apologize to the rest of the participants. I only tried to facilitate a positive experience in spite of all the contrary forces. Anyway, on that note:

I’m proud and honored to have been a part of this league for the past 4 seasons. Whenever I tell a friend, family member, or a casual acquaintance that I’m in a fantasy volleyball league, they’re always like, “Huh?? There’s such thing as fantasy volleyball??” And the thing is, this league is legit. We have posters from all across the country who put in the hours of making spreadsheets, going over stats, and literally looking through every eligible roster for diamonds in the rough. What I mean to say is, this league is not only unique, but we have posters who are dedicated, enthusiastic, and competitive. VT members from across the country want to show the VB world that they know who the best players in the country are, and they battle week-in and week-out for those 3-2 wins or even 2-3 losses, just because of our competitive nature and love for the sport.
That said, I cannot take these “twists” seriously. Having weeks where the team with the most errors wins, is not only disrespectful to the league and its members, but also to the players themselves. Having a week where the team with the lowest score gets 2, 3, or 4 points totally de-legitimizes the league, and instead of being competitive, it is a joke. And having additional add/drops, so we can scout the worst players available. It’s just disrespectful and embarrassing.
This is gut-wrenching for me to say. But I’m out.

Does this mean I win by default?

Is this delete your account week or something? well we know shhhhh will be back on here with iteration #10000. Also, it will probably be all too obvious who he is, otherwise how will he get all of his PM's back on a new account!!! SO SORRY for the delay everyone. Just a reminder: please use the provided PMs for roster submissions. dunc and I are very popular and receive many PMs, so sifting through them to find the random message you used for this week is cumbersome. Did he actually change accounts (except for the first one that got banned)? I thought he just changed screennames under the same account. That's totally fine as long as you're doing it for fun and not to be deceptive, IMO
