Salary Cap Issues/Financial Talk

[Pat]

I don't think anyone is accusing you of cheating but something is definitely wrong. Let's wait until Pat or prez has a chance to test and go from there. If it let's them offer over the cap, there's no issue. If it doesn't, then void the contract that put you over the cap and the problem is solved.

Boom. Nailed it.


I just got on. Reading PM's.

That stuff is just jokes. I don't think anyone seriously thinks you're cheating. You can't cheat injuries and sims take long enough that it would be very difficult for you to resim over and over again till you got your result. You tell us when you're simming and the file goes up quickly.

Anyway, I think this is more about trying to find out how you were able to offer extensions when you should be at your cap.

Whatever it is, there's something to be learned here. Unfortunately, you just happen to be in a position where other teams are not able to perform the same tasks to confirm it is doable.

edit: Ok, so two other teams can and once that's done we can end this nonsense. I'm sick of talking about Virginia!!!

I can login as commish to test (and delete the Tino Suarez injury) if need be. Pat should be able to test it easily enough though.

While you're there, injure Alvarez and Gremades. Thanks.

Silly Clay. The cheating shots are exactly that, just shots. I've known you longer than practically everyone here. I know that's not you. It's odd actually seeing you the favorite to win something, but we know you've earned it.

[Clay]

I don't know how else to say that I don't run my team under the Commish login.

Please just post in the Commish to-do thread what I need to do.

You mean the IL all-star team?

[BradZ]

I gotta be honest, between this, the resim shots and the new injury witchhunt...I'm more than willing to hand over the reigns.

IMO, this is clearly a case of the game allowing you to do something without you realizing it was letting you do it. There's no way this would be a case of cheating because this is something that would definitely get noticed.

Either that or our Cap is not doing what we thought it was.

Hey! I had someone on the All Star team...

Oh, wait, nevermind...

[BradZ]

My only thought that I can come up with is that it had something to do with offering arbitration eligible guys contracts the same Sim? Is there a chance that that somehow effects the bottomline? All I know is I had like $25 to offer when I offer Poling and O'H

I'm wondering if you are on to something here Clay. Maybe behind the scenes it removes the Arb figure from the calculations if you are offering a contract to the Arb eligible player at the same time? I can almost see it being programmed that way. It would take the Arb figure out and view the offer to that player as a pending offer instead of the Arb figure holding a salary slot for that player.

Sreen Shot

(can't get an image to load properly)

What's a sreen?

And for the record, I refuse to stop making resim jokes.

That's a typo. It was supposed to be "Sheen Shot" and it was supposed to link to a picture of a coked out, overpaid TV actor slobbering on a hooker.

Should Pat now attempt to offer an arbitration eligible player, then go back and see what he can give to Carlton?

Yeah, I think so. Pat, offer Robert Abbott $10mil or so and then see if you can offer Carlton more.
