Hey hey hey.
As I said, I have no problems with counters, so long they’re made in good faith and frankly all GMs here are of good faith, except a certain someone who was AWOL for 6 months, came back and sold Gavi and Bruno in less than 12 hours, only to place a bid on a player he admitted not even seeing play JUST to shit on a GM. This person being gone, I’m fully confident in the other GMs to act decently.I have been countered, including on one of my favourite players that I personally know since he’s a little boy, Eduardo Camavinga. I wasn’t rich enough and I SHOULD have bid on him when he hadn’t play pro football yet, but I thought I had time. Big mistake. I have countered, sometimes with bad results, sometimes with good results.
It is undoubtably a double whammy when you get countered in the last hours because you lost a day.
But it is in the rules.You are ruthless and competitive, a “shark”, as I said, but that’s also a very good addition to the league, albeit tough competition. But that’s why I suggested your name. I know you’d go all in and work hard, even if that meant stepping on my toes sometimes.
Well with that GM, you know my take on the whole bidding process, but yeah, that was NOT in good faith and it’s better they’re gone. And that’s why if someone feels I’m not acting in good faith then I will bow out.
I was in a league years and years ago on a forum where it was run by Madridistas who also moderated the forum. They literally created private threads only they could view and went past trade deadlines when I made last minute (literally with seconds left in the transfer window) buyout clause activations of both Messi and embarrassingly Ronaldo (yes, there were buyout clauses) just to block me from getting the players. Their fellow Madridistas even admonished them for it. Anyway, I’m not a shark. YOU are a shark. I’m a dolphin. We kill sharks.
I’m happy you’re here for one reason and one reason only. You are active. It was less fun when gms went missing.
Well I’d be happier you’re here if all your players didn’t cost 100 million.
Keep countering, BG! Never said you shouldn’t.
Fair enough, but respectfully, why is this even a discussion then? I don’t even like countering because of the stigma much less the damn cost on top of the other cons. I’ve spent 32 million this window countering only 3 players one of whom I should have had for 500k.
Maybe I’m making too much of your post, but again, I bid when I bid because I had to wait for bids to clear and I wanted the player. It sucks for JR sure, but it sucks every time you get countered regardless of when. And again, I’m competitive. For me it’s actually more about getting players I want/like than actually winning the league.
I just ask the rules to be completely written with no unwritten rules and play the game within them and if myself or anyone else is within the rules then let that be the end of it. If someone disagrees, fair enough, I’m all for voicing your opinion. I just feel as though if I counter it’s an issue despite being in the rules. Anyway, I’m hear to play within the rules and anything else is above my paygrade.
Not gonna lie, I almost countered you on Zvonarek after Zizou made his comment
not out of spite, but you already know I was looking at him too, and to be fair to you you even told me to counter haha!10000% agree with james, you being active and involved is better than silence, even if you are insufferable in every other aspect <3 End of the day if anyone counters/steps on toes but is within the rules, I love to see that people care on both sides!
Well I still feel bad countering you on Javi Galan and you’re the last person here I want to counter. Still, have at it! Oh wait, no hyphen in his name.
I can understand the idea behind having active GMs, but active in good faith and not like what happened last year. By all means be competitive and active, but in good faith.
