The Double Draft

I see - well, it's up to EAP.

In theory the upbid (in the deleted post) could be deemed invalid, in which case your original bid still stands. But he has to call on it.

In which case I'm 19 minutes away from adding him to my squad
 
@Invictus can you confirm if your bid for Puyol stands ?

He did mean to bid - he mentioned it in our PM.

If you didn't get the notice just raise by the minimum amount - seems fair that you don't have to bid a full 5m.

It's just strange that there's no record of him bidding on him at all. I can't up the bid anyway I have 13m to spend
 
Hmm I am going through the bids last night and is Mazhar's Cerezo bid invalid?

I might be adding this up wrong but it looks like 8 hours had passed so should be a 5M raise?
 
If you tag someone who is not online and then delete the post (in which the person was tagged), I suppose said person won't get the notification when he logs on. Which is probably what has happened here.
 
This will be an interesting ruling for @Edgar Allan Pillow if 12 hours from my first bid passes without any more movement / explanation

If it actually comes to that then you can take this as notice that we will raise by 5M - if Edgar rules that the original 2M raise doesn't stand for whatever reason.

You're right. Should have been a 5m raise.

@Joga Bonito
 
12 hours have passed since my original 10m bid on puyol and as it stands there is no official bid or tag from invictus at any point that backs up why he is the current highest bidder .

Please make a ruling @Edgar Allan Pillow

@harms that doesn't cover it as there is no bid by invictus . Plus theon= not invictus .
It's an unusual situation so there were no template to go by - but this post indicates their willingness to make an official bid if needed. It's unfair that you didn't get the alert on Puyol but it will be also unfair to just give you the player, that's why we're waiting for EAP. And Theon is obviously picking on Invictus' behalf as the latter can't be here 24/7 (or I'll take my Dzajic now, please and thank you)

Assistants aren't that rare mate - think there are a couple in this draft and its never been a problem.

Ultimately Puyol has been raised intentionally and if its a problem that you weren't tagged then we will just raise by 5m. Here is the PM from Invictus as well by the way (I have removed unpicked player names):

Andrade raised to 22 by mazhar. Raised Puyol to 12 before the 8 hour expired. Maybe we should go XXXX instead of XXXXX as the XXXX backup?

I didn't realize that you were his AM, I thought both your names would be on here the way skizzo/pat is.

Still, there is at no point an actual recorded bid on Puyol from either you or invictus.

Do you know why he deleted the post ?

If EAP decides I shouldn't get him then no need for the 5m upbid ,it should stay as it is
 
What is the process with this - is the fairest approach just to wait for Mazhar and ask him to confirm that he wants to raise to 20m?

It's an interesting question. Technically, it's not a valid bid - and that is that, formally speaking. It doesn't count and the original bid stands - that has to be the basic rule.

Personally, I'd wait for mazhar - but only until the original deadline expires. After that, you can claim the player as far as I'm concerned. The rules are very clear on upbids - if you feck up, that's on you. The other guy can decide to take mercy on you - but he's in no way obliged to do so.
 
Do you know why he deleted the post ?

He could've deemed it superfluous after I posted mine (which also had some confirmed players removed, plus new nominations, etc.).

The feck-up, in that case, consisted of deleting the tag along with the post - but the bid was clearly made, as evidenced by me including it (and by the PM quoted above).
 
@Edgar Allan Pillow @Invictus

Disregard all previous communication regarding Puyol . The current bid of 12m should stand , even though there is no official record of it ever coming from invictus , just speculation . I.e. I can't just text theon saying I'm going to bid 12m on a monèt without actually recording it.
 
@Invictus should be punished because of few dodgy deals, first he tried to sell Camacho as Antonio from West Ham and now he created a mess around Puyol.....

Well, recording it is one thing - you could argue that it has been recorded (by my including it in the next post) - but he effectively failed to notify you, and that is a valid reason to declare the bid invalid.

However, I see no reason why Theon shouldn't be able to make a 15m bid on Invictus' behalf (he did so before the deadline) - that part is unproblematic for me. If the original deadline had expired before this was discovered, you'd have a good case for claiming the player - but that didn't happen.

Pretty sure that he rigged the vote for the best poster of the year too!

I had no idea theon was invictus AM. There's no mention of it anywhere ( that I've noticed )

Obviously you didn't add it for the sake of it and it is more of a technicality , but that being said any upbid on Puyol ruled me out of the running as I have 13m left to spend so i don't think it's fair that they would have to up to 15.
 
REMINDER / THIS IS A GAME / PLEASE TRUST ME ---------- THERE IS NO MONEY TO WIN

Maybe someone made a mistake. I can't believe someone did want to cheat... especially for PUY-(LOL) :smirk:

Even - as a sub - I woldn't consider him because I have WESSSSSS BROWNNNN :cool:
 
I guess Invictus will come back and give his point of view sooner or later.

@Marty1968
 
I keep losing track of funds I've got left. Can everyone agree to not outbid me so I can just ignore this debate for the rest of the day!
 
Hmm, this is exactly what happened reg. Puyol: raised him to 12M and tagged David. Realized that a new bid might be missing since Chester said he'll fix the list:
Hold on for a sec, please. I want to add a couple of nominations + edit out players.
Chester updated with Puyol, deleted mine - honestly saw no reason to post again since the pages are already flooded, and someone might've copy-pasted the wrong list from my post.
Should be alright now. Carry on.
Puyol - Invictus - 02:57 - 12m
Will go with the draft manager's decision on this, though we did have him earmarked as a option beyond Andrade. Anyway, the whole thing is being blown out of proportion.
