I voted for democracy.

My main concern is quality of competition. Not every replacement owner will be an experienced dynasty player. I'm fine with some "cutting your teeth" but egregious stuff should be stopped, and if necessary a new owner should be found.

I've definitely rallied for trades to be vetoed in other Cafe dynasties due to things like that. It was due to the commish filling out the league with random friends who had no Cafe relationship and no business in a dynasty league. In those types of situations it's hard to get the commish to be truthful.

I trust Bungle to get good people but it looks like commish powers might be a hot potato too.

So, I have to ask... what do you define as egregious? Good word by the way. Give me an example, fictional or real, of a deal that you would veto.

I think it was 2.1 for Utecht when Utecht was a backup TE for the Colts. It was during the 2007 rookie draft. On face value you think it isn't as bad as selling ADP or Calvin Johnson for a few late 1sts, but it exposed that the new person had no idea what was going on.

A lot of drama in that league - husbands, wives, lovers, and Ben Utecht - seriously.

L2 owns that team now. He's probably bummed he doesn't have Utecht. (The guy then proceeded to blow 2.1 on Ted Ginn, Jr.)

Which I feel a little bad about because the guy who missed out on 2.1 was pretty peeved my trade went through but his didn't. Blood in the water.

Tell me about it. Though, he did give me food for thought for a fantasy team-

Sounds bizarre in some way. Won't ever touch my first FF team name- Marvelous Chickadees.
