*Grading the first round draft picks

There's your signing of Bowers.  Look at the cries of joy around the league and complete lack of suspicion there.  I'd post Clegane, but you already admitted that one was valid.  Hell, you didn't deny it with Sims, either, just said he wasn't that important.

I can see why all these players want to play for you.  No one else works harder to go nowhere.  Maybe if your players and GMs put more effort into actually improving and less into ethically questionable acquisitions, you'd have a chance at the Ultimus.  Instead your team is nothing but a welcome mat for the Outlaws to wipe their feet on before their next championship game.

Also, I did scout and build a draft board.  I was part of this process for the Wraiths, and am also doing it for the DSFL, because, unlike you, I'm actually a GM.  Speaking of which, congratulations on not being selected.  You almost had to take responsibility for something.

Bro, everybody has been a welcome mat to the Outlaws, but good looking out.

We have never once told any of our players to post media articles about holding out for us or anything else to hurt their draft stock. If you go to Sims' article you'll see a post in there where I stated exactly that. We don't tell our players to hold out, but we can say we're a little proud the Otter experience is so good they feel the wish to do so.

Should we just refuse to pick people because they've publicly lowered their draft stock? Would that be sufficiently 'ethical', even if we never told them to lower their draft stock?
