What you don't know about the situation is how I discussed with both Bovo AND Ben about Keygan beforehand, let them know of this situation, and asked for their opinion about it, whether they wanted to keep him or fine with having him retire the team. Personally, I was on the fence with this whole situation. I didn't like the fact that Keygan wanted to retire and ultimately fuck over Vegas, but at the same time, we want him to have the best experience in this league, and he's been having a pretty decent time leaving our locker room.
And then, not some twenty minutes later after receiving responses from BOTH GM's, Keygan posts his mass retirement and basically forces my hand into a certain circumstance.
It was either mass retire, pay the penalty for unretiring, and carry on with life, having our already small batch of prospects get even smaller and pretty much causing some kind of rift in one way, which would lead to this thunderdome turning into a thread about how stupid and how much of a rookie mistake it was for mass retiring for no reason, further tarnishing the reputation in Las Vegas, which I've been trying to rebuild since I got here.
OR, I could just let an inactive co-GM retire, turn a bunch of inactives into trade assets, get Bovo hired, and let HIM deal with the situation. I think my decision was easy and most likely the right decision.
Again, your assumptions come from a couple of posts I made to make this whole thing happen, so I understand where you're coming from, but you're tooting your horn at the completely wrong place here. So, if you could kindly take your bullshit attitude, your bullshit Yellowknife Locker Room bias, as well as your conciet in believing that it was OUR fault doing this, and take that elsewhere, say the Yellowknife Locker Room to vent and everything, that would be greatly appreciated.
Well, that, or sticking your head out of your ass for a change. That'd be great, too.
If you'd like to retract your statement, I will accept that, as well.
Can't wait for this to become a copypasta
I DM'd @Keyg_an to tell him how much I respected him and how much of my frustration stemmed from knowing how much of an asset he was when we weren't fighting. That may not sound like much to the average reader, but Keygan and I used to be quite friendly, from the moment he joined NSFL, and we'd even had some good moments in PBE. Hell, I had expressed romantic interest in him
