sign up with Jeff- but I think you may miss some stuff

I actually am appalled by that comment. Jeff is the best secretary ever!!!

well I change my mind- 2 votes for Jeff as league secretary.

Keep on keeping on man.

PS: I can give you my number if you would like to text me. I have provided texts to Potts in the past about the draft & such.

you guys can text each other if that helps.  The events are listed in the game.  Anything else is extra -

I don't help him anymore. He could never figure out how to check the correct box in StatsLab....

So...by extra...you want me to send you $1? I am happy to help as I have previously.  I am sorry I started this topic poorly and also if you are having a bad week. I really just wanted to make a suggestion. 

Maybe Potts would send out the 1 line reminder...

Comical.

Hey, I just realized something. I have a job too! Is that a coincidence or what?!!? I mean I don't get to live with my family but I do have a job. I mean, are you as surprised as me about this development? I was sure I was the only one...

If your strapped from time- maybe check the events in the software instead of posting a complaint.  I don't have the time to text you every time there is a sim.

Whatever, guess we are a little sensitive about the fact that I have a point.

Take care.

You have no point- your job is to run your team.  My job is to run mine and sim games.  If you can't check the forum schedule, news ticker, or the in game events- that's your problem.  All you need is listed in the game.

If you are my Secretary, I have some other things I need you to, uh, take care of.

Whatever, guess we are a little sensitive about the fact that I have a point.

Take care.

Don't read SIM schedule outside the off-season. Is the SIM schedule the only way you know about the draft, opening day, rule 5, etc? This seems to rate of higher importance than the SIM schedule post. Thanks for the holier than thou reply...always appreciated.

your welcome- I'm not your secretary, I have a job.  Thanks!

Why is there no announcement when these players become available???  We announce the draft, free agency, opening day...but not international signing...Did I miss the announcement?  As much money as I saw a few teams spend it seems like this is bigger than the draft, but it's somehow hidden from those of us not tied to our computers hourly?  How many seasons have we had this and I have never known one time when it is...

and interest wanes again.  Same teams keep getting richer.

its in the game, forum schedule, and I put it in the announcements at the top.  There is not more I can do.  This was with ootp14 I believe.  You knew about this- you where complaining about the Int free agents a few months back.

  
I was "complaining" about the guys my scout signs...not the free agents...I am at a loss as to how that comment is even relevant to this issue as they aren't even related topics, other than both sets of players are foreign...I guess if you need to take a shot at me instead of providing a real answer, then that is up to you.  We go balls out announcing everything else with e-mails and such and for this just a whisper in the sim e-mail.  Who reads that?  Seems to me that if people are spending $10-$15M in total for these guys that it's not too much to ask that there is some sort of mention of it, other than burying it in the sim e-mail...feel free to ignore the topic and take further shots though, if you feel that will somehow deal with the topic.  I guess you got one chuckle...

Are we allowed to offer a contract with signing bonus?
