Please vote in the next 24 hours, I want to have this resolved before I go to work tomorrow night. Sending PMs now, skipping over people who I know they voted, or they liked the post. If you did vote and still get a PM, I apologize and just ignore it. Thank you.

I just closed the poll and the votes were evenly split. Half the league wanted 0 or 26, while 50 also had support. A late rally for keeping it at 76 wasn't enough to get that option out of last place.

I had talked about staggering injuries, increasing the meter after each preseason game, but that approach opens the door for more opportunities for me to forget to increase it. It's probably best to set it at one number for all of the preseason.

Starting next season, we'll have an injury meter set at 26 and we'll see how that goes.

I do appreciate the democratic method even though I've found it frustrating as a league admin.

I've become more of a dictator in my leagues...hopefully a fair and honest dictator....but a dictator all the same.

Not everyone will always agree but most will follow the rules and as league admin, know I'm dedicated to keeping my leagues active, full and competitive.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a great league and you are in charge, so lead and I will follow!

If I felt strongly enough about something I'd just do it, but for the most part I just want to do what most want to do. I'm never gonna keep everyone happy on things like this, but I like to keep as many people happy as possible.

We have a league with 150% injuries, and it's already getting spicy... 6 weeks in the average is 25-30 weeks of injury at any time for any given team. It's good fun, looking forward to having a full roster to choose from though, ngl

Spicy probably wouldn't be my word choice, but I do hope that league doesn't have position restrictions because I can imagine a lot of players will need to play out of position.

Same rules as your league. Works fine, because it ruins all our dreams equally. We like to think of it as the blood gods being paid their pound of flesh!

Wow, what a waste of time.

Punisher could come in to win that league, NN sounds like Ray on an alt account.

Before any one says anything if I committed to a 150% injury rate league, I'd play it differently. I'd keep all my draft picks and the dispersal draft would be all youth. Layering, brick laying roster building.

Who's Ray and what did he do to ruffle your feathers?

It's nice to be active in different leagues with different people and setups.

Why do you do this? Just because an account is new does not mean it's Ray coming after you or whatever. We need new players in MFN, and imo it's easier to keep them around if we don't accuse them of being the 2nd account of someone like Ray or The Admiral.
