Here's how I feel as a Mod of this forum:
1. There is a reason we ask guys to give 5 choices. Obviously some teams are more popular than others. While I'd love to see everyone get their top or even their 2nd choice, its simply not realistic to expect. Getting your 3rd choice while not ideal hardly seems like the end of the world.
2. While I have the utmost respect and appreciation for all the regulars and guys who have been playing the games a long time, I don't think playing favorites over rookies is the right way to go. I don't like it at all when guys quit, but when you quit as well your complaint rings a little hollow.
3. First come/first serve is an option and maybe it will be something we look into in the future. I think it likely makes it even harder to fill games because guys might not want to sign up knowing they will get the teams no one else ever wants. But still its something worth exploring more.
4. You did a great job in coming in 2nd and I commend you. I actually won a game a couple games back and got my 3rd choice. Because we had a guy come back after not playing for a long time and he had won the last game he picked and Ness had won the game prior and we did a random draft so the team you were was irrelevent so he also got to pick ahead of me. I never saw it as a big deal. But I realize not everyone is me and care a lot more about what team they are. I do know however that multiple people including me offered to swap teams with anyone who wasn't happy with the one they got. I feel like an effort was made to allieviate the legit portion of your complaints.
5. We will welcome you back when you decide to return. If that's next summer, well, we'll keep a light on for you.
Good points here. But I will like to focus on the bold point. I'd like to sign myself up for the "give me any team" list, as I'd prefer to take an unpopular team and secure at least 2 spots in the game, rather than someone quitting and leaving and causing the game to possibly stagnate in it's start up, because no one really wants the... Nets (just an example).
P.S., I REALLY want the Nets and look forward to making them UN-BELIEV-BEAT-ABLE
