I vote no on Amendment 5.
How you vote is your choice, of course, Eja, but I'm curious why you're for a 6-week moratorium on new GMs making trades in the points league but against it in this league? It can't be b/c the one proposed here is 8-weeks instead of 6 can it?
I don't mind at all like a 6 week moratorium on new guy trading, but I think they should probably get the opportunity to draft who they want
No that's not it. I think that is only a minor difference. I thought about it and I am definitely not saying I would never vote for it. Maybe in the future I would. However I just haven't seen a problem with that in this league. Maybe that's only because I've only been here one year, but I didn't see anyone last year asking for this in this league and I know how important it is to you to not really compare leagues, and I also definitely agree with the "stamp on team" theory.
Further I was slightly surprised that the amendment seemed to have some minor changes where it was both a top 50 guy and a top 50 offensive guy, whereas originally it was only a top 50 overall guy and then there was a difference between the amendment in this thread saying it was just 2 months overall vs two months of both a top 50 guy and a first round pick in the poll. I just wasn't feeling tons of confidence in this one.
Maybe if I was taught a tad bit of the history of the league of when this happened before and caused problems I would change my vote. My understanding was that in the past the big problem in this league had actually been vetoes more than other things, but there wasn't a lot done about that, except that I did vote for the 2 day review period.
Further as long as we're discussing the other league, when I suggested the 6 week moratorium in the other league nobody supported it, and in fact the only comment was someone shooting it down to say 6 weeks is ridiculously long, and that league is actually the league that had the problem, so I wasn't so sure there'd even be support for any change.
I am guessing byennie will raise that issue in that league as soon as he has 4 more GMs, and if he does it will be interesting to see how it goes.
