Buying and Selling Fighters

Buying and Selling Fighters

Buying

During a ManMMA season, you may use 2 points to "buy a fighter" under the following conditions:
1) You have 2 points.
2) You are buying an unclaimed fighter from the To Swap (or Draft) list of fighters. You may not buy from the To Draft list during season.

During the off-season, you may use 2 points with your draft pick to buy a new fighter, instead of having to swap out an old fighter for a new one. You must do so during your draft selection, as your draft pick. You may not use this as a first come, first served way of leapfroging people in the draft.

Selling
At any time you may sell a fighter for 1 point, as long as the following conditions are met:
1) The fighter has fought a minimum of 3 ManMMA fights in his/her career.
2) The fighter is not currently in training camp


How Do I Buy/Sell?
To either buy a fighter during season, or to sell a fighter, post your transaction in the Fighter Release/claim thread (in the Fighter Movement section).

To buy a fighter during the draft, as mentioned above, you do so during your pick, at the draft. So you would draft as usual, but instead of saying "drop [fighter name 1], add [fighter name 2]", you would say, "Buying [fighter name 2] with 2 points".


A Bit More Info
- There is no option to sell fighters for more points as a result of their performance, record, or number of upgrades. If you want more than 1 point for your fighter, you will need trade and acquire them or something.
- Once a fighter is sold, he is sold. You may not change your mind an hour later, and get him back for 1 point. He would cost you 2 points, though a new Buy Fighter transaction. In rare cases, exceptions can be made if it's in the best interest of the site as a whole, but please contact The Sandmen about the issue before hand.
- Remember, for the Grand Prix, you must have 1 eligible HW, MW, and LW. If you do not, any fight in those open categories will be forfeited. As such, I would recommend keeping a minimum of 2 fighters in each division.

So much for agreeing with me that picking from the scrap list was a waste of time... This rule is only worth it at the draft. Why would we drop a fighter for 1 point but have to pay 2 for one from the scrap heap. This is 100% useless without being able to pick from either list during the season.

[The Sandmen]

I told you (and everyone) before, you can't pick from the Draft list during season because it takes too long to create 1 new fighter during the season. I can not budge on that part, as its a sim-related problem that cannot be worked around.

And I didn't agree with you that picking from that list was a waste, or that it was a scrap heap. GAP got Couture from that list and she is doing pretty good right now. Coleman who was on there for a while - he is good now that he has stamina. Lots of good people there, and if you upgrade them properly, they are beasts just waiting to be unleashed.

And lastly, I didn't make this rule to make you happy. I made it because someone else (cause there are people here that are NOT you) wanted it and it affects nothing, really. So now that person (and everyone else) has a LOT more options for their fighters. Don't like it? Don't do it.

First off, where in my comment did the word "I" come up? You seem to have this notion that I write these specifically for me... Newsflash, hotshot... I don't. I was saying "we" in that entire post.

Secondly, you did agree with me and at the same time made us fully aware of the glitch in the simulator. And that's fine, but I'm also just wondering what you'd do if a new team picked most of their fighters from the "To Swap (or Draft)" list and only picked 1 or 2 new fighter from the "Draft" list when they pick their team. Are you going to tell them that they'd have to pick 7 brand new fighters cuz it's a "fork in the eye" to create 1 new fighter? I highly doubt that very much. There's gotta be some sort of minimum number of fighters that you can make that the simulator won't glitch out on you so that it can be worthwhile for all teams to utilize this rule to it's full extent. Even if we had to wait until you got to that number of new ones to create, it's still better than having to pay 2 points for someone from the "To Swap (or Draft)" list when there's less than a handful of fighters on that list that are actually worth 2 points; most are only worth 1.

NOW speaking for myself, I was excited about this coming in for the sole reason that we could bring new fighters into the league cuz I've personally currently got atleast 2 fighters on my radar that I wanna bring in, but they're not on the "To Swap (or Draft)" list. And personally, I likely won't use the buy a fighter from the "To Swap (or Draft)" list, unless someone actually drops a gem in there or someone I actually like.

But that being said, that was never the big issue. So, in the future, read what I say, and don't assume that I'm just speaking only for myself unless I actually say I am.

This whole post is "I", "I", "I". I got bored and basically didn;t read it, since you repeat yourself, causing me to repeat myself.

That's exactly why it gets repeated... you don't fucking read anything... and the reason the second post was "I", was because you made it a personal attack and twisted my words around like you ALWAYS do.. : Yet, you always wonder why I'm pissed off. lol It's astounding.

Anyone have anything to say about the NEW RULE?
