I'll speak for myself. I didn't quit, I'm taking a break. I am unhappy with the politics and I feel the voting is not the most accurate in appointing a winner. It's supposed to be fun but how can you be having fun if you truly feel you have the best team several several times and lose in the first round. Now I understand second round or finals but to lose in first round really pissed me off. It's sound like I'm whinning for not winning but I'm not having fun in losing so I'll take a break for awhile. No one person ran me off. Nos did apologize to me for the past draft and we buried the hatchet. Nos I do feel you need to add symbols if your just talking shit and not being confrontational. Lots of your posts when someone disagrees with you appears to coming off like your being confrontational and very harsh. Maybe it's a misunderstanding but that's just the way it appears. I am not blaming you, just stating my opinion on some of why some of the drama starts. I feel the voting on here went from best team to voting for friends or voting for guys you like over players who are have better stats. One guy told me he didn't like Pete Rose so that was part of the reason he didn't vote for me. I feel that's a horrible answer. I dislike several players but feel you still have to vote for best player not personal liking. I dislike oj Simpson cuz he is a murder but I'll vote for him because he was a great RB. Now once again I'm just taking a break to relax and wish you all fun drafts.
That person who said he didnt like Rose was me and I didnt say I voted against you because of Rose. I then went on to point out his numbers against the team you were playing #2 hitter and Rose wasn't even close. So it wasnt just "personal liking"
The thing I dont understand in it all is you yourself have admitted to not knowing as much as other people do yet you have won more than I think anyone but UK and myself. I haven't won in like 9 drafts now and I ain't stepping away I did say a couple drafts ago maybe I should take a break but that was only from drafting I would have still run everything. Like I said in another post we have gotten away from what I started these drafts for, if we can get back there (That includes me) I think everything can be fun again!
I just think it's pretty sad we have got to the point where people are walking away because they arent winning. I can almost promise you that if you dont participate in the NFL draft you wont win.

1. I didnt say that was the only reason you voted against me
2. I don't like how guys are voting for their friends over best team
3. I'm not quitting just taking a break
4. You did say you were going to take a break from participating and just run it and I said that was a good idea. However you can't step away like me and UK from draftingI love you man and I'll be back. I just need a break. When I do come back I'm hoping the voting system will be different.
Yeah that is asking for problems by dropping names. I'm no snitch.

I can say 100% I have never voted for anyone that I didn't feel would win their matchup. And I didn't quit because I lost(if I lost), I've won like 7 of 30 or something like that. I am usually the first guy to vote, which certainly doesn't help you in the vote because you're always sure to piss off half the guys playing. Ritzy, you had a great lineup, not enough pitching, staff or pen IMO, still a good team, but they're all good.Who do u feel is voting for friends and not the best team?
Don't have to give names. What off do you have other than just your own inclination?
Patterns. Just look at the voting in past drafts and you can see who votes for who. Now once again I am not quitting so stop saying that Nos, I just want to step away for awhile. Im not having fun so why participate.

I have NOOOOO problem with people saying my pitching sucked. I neglected it so I could focus on my lineup. The problem is during the voting people attacked (wrong word) my lineup saying 500's was better. Not saying he didn't have a good lineup but I disagree that it was better. My pitching and bullpen was weaker but my lineup and bench was better. One draft people say how strong lineups will beat top pitching every time then the next draft they flip flop and say its all about the pitching. Then you focus on a balanced team and they complain your team is weak in some areas because you focused on both.Make up my mind. Seriously when I was winning in the waaaaay past I drafted on players people liked. I would take Viking players for Nos's vote, I would take Cowboy players cuz of UK and of course we know about Pack500 but that's not how a person should win. Its supposed to be best overall team not how many guys you like. Oh well.
Thats the thing though Ritz, the voting isnt gonna change unless you go off and start your own mock drafts and invite 7,8,9 different people. Should we make our drafts like the pathetic world we live in and give everyone a trophy so we dont hurt anyones feelings?
Just so you know i'm not being confrontational...
Funny isn't it, UK said you are taking a break cuz I chased you off it doesn't seem that way at all, kinda like the rest of his post, full of untruths...Just so you know i'm not being confrontational...
