Ultimately I think there will always be 2 schools of thought on this. I appreciate the game isn't without other flaws, and that we play on an unrealistic injury setting.

I think if written with time and care house rules could knock this on the head, but I agree it isn't an ideal solution. A fix from Jim will always be more universally accepted.

I would hope that you would accept that there is a flaw in the familiarity system within the game. For me trying to take advantage of flaws simply isnt a sporting way to play. The game is supposed to be fun for all, there is no money to be made in it any longer. I am also sure that it is apparent now that this method of playing bothers a lot of people. I don't understand why you or anyone else would want to persist trying to take advantage of problems in the game. I don't see how anyone could think the RB-OL cap workaround is a reasonable and sporting way to play.

The point has been proven. It was only the drafting and trades that held you back in the RZB, not the strategy itself. Certainly pre 8.3 I believe your system was superior to any standard approach. I would of followed your system and played that way myself if winning was the only concern. I would guess you will be the equal or better of anyone using this approach even post 8.3. You have nothing more to prove. I would of thought the decent thing to do now would be to see how you get on playing the game like the other 95% of us do. Guys like myself, Dawg and Ben could replicate what you do pretty easily. I just don't see that would be fun for anyone, winning just isn't that important is it?

I think maybe we just see things as polar opposites. For me the game is about having a laugh, and enjoying time over a shared interest with like minded people. Building a league in to a community. Creating divisions over grey area tactics seems completely alien to that.
