			<description><![CDATA[If I deem you have been an asshole I will warn you.  I will ask you to stop.  Probably many times, but at some point (which I will leave to my discretion) I will enforce this:<br />
<br />
Full Cash wipeout<br />
5 years no WB<br />
I will choose your three best players and auction them blind to the league<br />
<br />
This penalty can be enforced retroactively on those that have been warned many times over the years.  If you jeopardize our GM pool, if your aggressive douchebaggery harms chat discourse and fun level of players, or just annoy me - I will consider it a violation.]]></description>

<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">To reiterate: this warning to all teams that knowingly put out a roster worse than they are capable of.....don't put me in a shitty situation. Create a solid roster, play your best roster the entire season.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">Don't be an ass or the rule will be enforced. And, just as common decency, don't put me in this position. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">Know that anytime you do this you risk league stability.  On EVERY issue I have 13 GMs that love it, 13 who hate it, and about 4 that will find a way to be whatever irritates me.  So putting me in this position guarantees I will have pitchforks and torches out for me.  So I get to come home, try to put out fires, make everyone happy, and somehow thread the needle of resolution....all while also doing the work of the league.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">With that in mind the following rules exist:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">*Anyone that doesn't reach 50 wins will be barred from WB for five seasons and they will have a one time cash wipeout following their resignings.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">* if you discover someone manipulating strategies, benching key players, or playing someone out of position please PC me.  Let me know what it is and I will follow through.  This takes the personal attacks and sniping out.  </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Failure to do this by flaming discord means you will get the same penalty as the tanker.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">As always these are sanity checked....shit happens and we are adults.  If it was a genuine mistake or without ill intent I reserve the right to bypass.  If it was malicious as hell or flippant I reserve the right to be harsher.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color">Play and handle it like gentlemen please.</span></span>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Note: This is just an estimator and it will change as the season progresses things will change.  Just find the revenue projections under the finances tab in BBM to get the two numbers you need for the sheet.  <br />
<br />
Also: These are unofficial projections made at 11PM at night after a long day and 18 straight days working.  I'm in no way responsible for poor or misleading math.  If I made a mistake please reply to this thread.<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->
