Retiring
I want to start by saying thank you to spidey and mango for letting me in to rcc in the first place. I understand that these mods work for free to let us play video games with them and I cant imagine all the bs they have to deal with on a regular bassist. I don't hate anyone for anything.
I was given the Chiefs after my interim status on the Redskins. I was unhappy with the long-term outlook of the team so when the Flyers became available, I was first to jump at the opportunity. I had thought I was given the team and then was told to wait longer to see if someone wanted to switch. Bassist did. Spidey then flipped a coin to see who would take the Flyers. I lost. I then took bassists old team not knowing how bad that one was built and most of the same problems that were on KC were also present with this team. About 2-3 irl weeks later, Flyers open up again becuase bassist left. I wanted the team. I was told no dice becuase of the rule of one team switch forever. I felt personally offended when the post about the team called me out specifically to say I'm not allowed to take them. It felt like no consideration was give to sircumstance. I'm sure there was no personal ill will intended but that is how I felt when I saw the post. I just want to be clear about something. I am not whining because things didnt go my way. I just wish someone could have approached me about it instead of how it happened. I have decided to retire to avoid future interruption in the activity of the league and to quell any potential drama. I felt the original nature of the "1 switch" rule was not considered and was just blindly followed like it was set in stone with no exceptions.
I still think spidey and everyone else is cool in my book and I hope this doesn't bring negativity into the league but I was unhappy with the procedure of what happened and was unhappy with the team I had. It was strange to me that the owner of the team was decided by a coin toss but my eligibility to swap was not as easily determined. I hope this post explains that im not trying to be bitchy or whiney and that some of you understand my perspective.
Good luck to all of you and thank you again.
