The OOC Thread

Key word is negotiate. I knew what my picks were worth when I drafted them, hence why I had the highest pre-Justin salary.

And I paid them less, but I knew if the time would come I'd be willing and able to pay them what they were worth.

And I wasn't criticizing anyone, just making a joke about Powers and his dancing puppets...

Me being new to this I was just going with the flow and waiting for those around me in the draft round to sign and then I was signing my guys to similar contracts.

And I paid them less, but I knew if the time would come I'd be willing and able to pay them what they were worth.

This is the main reason Gerry Nichols got a 16.5 million dollar contract... In the dirt sheet thread he was touted as a top 3 prospect and I paid out the ass just for the rights to talk to him so I figured there was no point on low balling him to save money. So i went big and the deal was taken. Yeah I could have went lower and met at a lower price but I felt a big show was needed to make up for the Duke situation.

And I wasn't criticizing anyone, just making a joke about Powers and his dancing puppets...

I did not take offense to it... I was not a fan of the renegotiation but none the less I am rolling with the punches as this is something new for me...

I think you are doing fine. I think you went a little big with the big show, but the premise was correct.

The Big show?

[Reya Serra]

The one with the picture base of Big Show, I'd suspect.

[T-Bonizzle]

He said big show first.

[Reya Serra]

Yeah reading back it makes more sense lol

[Midas]

Oh I called him Big Show.. My bad I didn't even realize! So yeah Bull Bradford is his name and the problem I encountered when I made my last 3 deals was I realized that Bull was one of the four people on my team who I was going to devote money to for PR and likely Stevens who was getting paid a half a million less then Bull was probably going to end up on my bench. As I began to write my PR for Bull I realized that I was setting myself up for Bull's agent to come back and be unhappy with the deal and truthfully I felt he was under paid in comparison.

Bull is my oddity and is a giant at 7 ft so I want to keep him happy so i figured I would just come back and offer him a higher deal right off the back to nip any ill will in the butt and maybe gain some good feelings from him and his agent in the long run.

I figured 2 million still left me 6 million to make deals and all I need is one more guy so it should be all good... Trust me I am not going to make it a habit of offering more money out of the kindness of my heart lol

Well, I've tried my best to follow your dealings but I still believe you are over budget. We will see when Powers releases his info.

[Tritch]

Midas, just ask your assistant "Can you tell me what our finances look like?" or something along those lines.

I understand Bud... You do a lot keeping up with the spreadsheet and I along with everyone appreciate it... If I am over budget that is news to me based on this response from Powers...

Correct. When a player walks you get the money back. If you terminate someone, you're stuck with their contract.

In the dirt sheet it clearly shows that Duke abandoned TCW and went to CWA therefore it is not that I terminated his contract and means I should get the money back...

If you take Duke off my team on the spreadsheet and adjust your numbers on the PR I am within budget. However you are correct Mikey can contradict that but at this point everything he has said thus far has lead me to believe I am not over budget.

Midas, just ask your assistant "Can you tell me what our finances look like?" or something along those lines.

I will do that...

[T-Bonizzle]

The only thing you have wrong Rob is that you still have Duke on Midas' roster.

[Reya Serra]

Just got 2 more wisdom teeth taken out as I said in FBL OOC so if I'm a bit out of it/slow to respond the next day or two that would be why.
