Sharks GM Violates Rules, Goes Unpunished

[The Mule]

eielson used Da Bearfan's money to make purchases for David Manning, which is a clear-cut rule violation. Only a player is allowed to spend their money on personal purchases. GMs are not allowed to spend player's money.

3 Steve Young(QB):
Price: $1,000,000
Att’s: +2 Throw Power, +2 Throw Accuracy, +2 Awareness, and +2 speed

4 Moving Dummy Targets
Price: $500,000
Att’s: +2 Throw Accuracy and Throw Power
POS: QB

+14 throw accuracy, +14 throw power, +6 speed, +6 aware

I think these purchases and attribute upgrades should be reversed, and furthermore I think this deserves a suspension and a fine as punishment.

However, the interim commissioner, flledge, is looking the other way and refuses to rectify the situation because it is Da Bearfan's player.

Why should the commish player be treated any differently? He's still inactive like many other people. I believe it's unfair to let the Sharks GM spend the money of an inactive player (let alone one of the most important at QB). Meanwhile, other teams are suffering because their budget money is tied up in the contracts of inactive members and therefore they can't spend it.

What do the other FSL players think?

He's at camp.

Bearfan put Eileson in charge of the Sharks and his player when he left.

[watchthis]

Let them stand.

[Eielson]

Are you trying to cause problems Mule? We already went over this in the commisioner's office.

The purchases stand, we don't need to go over this again.

Bearfan left the Sharks and Manning to Eielson when he left for camp. This gives him GM duties AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE PURCHASES FOR MANNING!!
Worry about your own team, they seem to be ticked off about how long it takes them to get updated.

[xfl2001fan]

Why would you bring this up in a public forum? If the other GM's and the Commish are ok with this, why can't you be? Seems like an attempt at trying to draw attention to yourself. Considering the backlash from your players, that seems inadvisable.

Why don't you show me where on the board he left eielson in charge of David Manning?

[Silver Fox]

Listen, I'm gonna be going on vacation later this month. Am I allowed to ask Mule to update my player and spend my money while I'm gone? If yes, then do I have to announce it publicly on the forum ahead of time or can I just call him once I get to band camp and be all, "Mule, dude! Spend my money." If the answer is that Mule cannot do this for me or if he can, but only if I publicly pre-announce, then it is unfair for the commish to get preferential treatment. There is a reason we rebelled against England which is that all men (which now is interpreted more inclusively than it was then) are created equal. If I wanted to be in a fantasy sim league in which the commish's player was treated preferentially, I'd join a league with Queen Elizabeth II.

[watchthis]

Wow, I didn't realize this would mean revolt from the colonies.

[Eielson]

Hey, I got a PM from Da Bearfan and I showed it to Flledge, this has already been settled, Mule didn't need to bring it out here just because we decided differently than he thought it should've been.

[Silver Fox]

Eielson,

Are all players allowed to do the same thing and send PM's to the GM's to ask them to spend their money or is there only a select sub-set that is allowed to do this?

[watchthis]

Just drop it. We are allowing it for this special sub-set of one player.

I just wanted everyone to know that the Sharks get an unfair advantage.

Did you not want everyone to know that?

[watchthis]

It doesn't really matter anyways because the public is in favor of him 9-6.

[Silver Fox]

Who voted? Everybody or just Shark players? I demand a full ballot recount. Are they diebold machines? I suspect this was gerrymandered. Also, I believe I saw some illegal lobbying going on in the Giveaway thread.

If it is such an unfair advantage how come all the other teams' GMs are all okay with it?

Thunder actually voted more then Sharks, so you can't use that excuse.
