From all of our previous encounters I had found you to be a pleasant person who didn't seem to have any issues with me, and I was unaware at first that you had an issue with coming to play for us which was so severe that it would have caused you to retire. We would have been very happy to have you on the team, as an active player and high (if not max) earning player as we only have one active cornerback and were looking for another alongisde him, but given your wishes and the desire Tijuana had to have you on the roster, instead we tried to negotiate a trade to ensure you were on a team which you'd be happy with while ensuring we didn't lose out on player value.
Dude if you're a DSFL GM and didn't know that I've been loyal to Tijuana since the single digit seasons then you haven't been doing your job very well. You claimed me on waivers with the intention of trying to get something out of Tijuana you can just admit it we're being honest here.
I thought that since we were in contact already you would reach out if you took me so I was surprised you didn't tbh, bc I also thought you were cool from the few interactions I'd had. And tbh I don't have anything against most MB people just a couple I would never play for and the fact I'd never play for another DSFL team.
Also I am very far from a max earning player lmfao flattery will get you nowhere.
Quote:We were asked to assign a pick value to you and determined if you'd been in the draft and still on the board around the 5th-6th round, that it would be considered a steal to pick you up there - we felt and believe that asking for a player who was an 11th round pick was not only fair, but potentially even generous especially given the following statement:
Which says to me that the value assigned by your own team would be a first round pick. I'm glad that we could work out a deal that got you onto the team you wanted to play for, who also wanted you to be there - while we gained a player who was happy to play for us. Claiming that we were operating in any way outside the 'spirit of the DSFL' is baseless and upsetting, when all that we were looking to do was improve the experience for the players on our team by adding good, active users to our roster.
The only reason I'd be taken in the first would be the "don't be a dick" rule, tbh this was an amazing class I would expect to go about where Payton went so 3rd round. Again, you knew what you were doing so acting like you had no idea I wouldn't play for you is either a load of shit or negligence by you or your war room.
Like I said I wanted to play with my boi spec so I'd be happier if we traded a pick for next year to you as ransom.
Quote:I'd appreciate if you could refrain from making personal attacks - it's really unnecessary and unbecoming.
Lmfao if you can't handle some classic kiwi vs aussie banter then we have a far bigger problem here than I thought.

The DSFL GM's enacted this rule to make people go to the draft after... Ben?, the S15 Tijuana GM, abused the system to, ironically enough, draft Spec in the inactive portion of the draft. You weren't punished last time so I have no problem with them punishing the Luchas this time.
Stop trying to manipulate the draft people. If you want a player take him high or risk another team taking him first, those are your choices. Or you could try the novel concept of experiencing something new with another team that clearly values you more than your old team. To me, this is what HO is in place in the DSFL to prevent. Glad to see the rules enforced properly this time.
Dude why did you circle me I went in the second bc I was a gm.
And spec told a lot of teams he was going to create sometime in the draft, he was previously Portlands GM so they knew and I'm pretty sure he'd told TC at the Marshalls as well.
That rule was (rightfully) put in place bc multiple teams used it to their advantage, it's a bit rough to say it was only bc of us
