I don't think anything happens to you if you don't vote.

Not true my friend, when i tried to not vote i was told i would be fined $5 million dollars! when i tried to vote abstained i was told the $ 5 million dollar fine would still apply! that is way i vote no to all! And will continue to vote no to all until i leave! so now you know Shel ! maybe that will help you understand why i vote no to all!

They said the was what the 5th or 6th time they had everyone vote... So all those non voting owners in the past were fined?

I am not sure a hard rule was ever put in place like that.

all i can tell you is what i was told. the league and i agree with this felt because of all the work Bernie put into doing the HOF that everyone should vote. i did not want to vote for players i thought had been juiced,edited or whatever it was at the time. (kevin thomas,WU) and a few others. i wanted nothing to do with hall of fame stuff. i wanted to abstain. above is what i was told. i don't pry into other teams business
and cannot confirm if they were or were not fined. i was not fined and i have voted in every HOF because i didnt want to lose five million!

If JD never put in the rule who told Beefy or anyone they had to vote in order to not be fined?

And wasn't Kevin Thomas briefly a Phoenix Purple Cobra?

My personal opinion is that even in the case of the fine rule, that was really just for a season or 2 when I was running it, coming to this thread and at least posting that you abstain is fair enough. The fact that he is at least giving an acknowledgement to the thread, but doesn't want to be involved in the process, is reasonable, imo.

Sorry Beefy, but it's a baseball thing...You can't vote no to all, you just have a no vote or others call it an empty ballot.

Keep poking the bear....

Not trying to poke the bear, but how can you be so into baseball and not want to take part in HOF voting?
What is the issue you have with it?

I understand with the couple players you feel were messed with, but what about the rest of it?

never complain and never explain! lolol i'll tell you someday on the phone. i have voted for players in the past. i guess i can't get into HOF for a sim league! i glad some of you are into it (HOF), i'm not anymore! and if we vote a third time i still vote no to all. i think we should dig up and re vote for all the guy's who didn't get in again the last 5 seasons! it's fake players.

hey maybe i could sell my vote for cash? any bids? lobby for your guy and buy my vote? any bids? if not, NO to ALL!

Aren't we all adults here?
I know sometimes people don't act like it, but really? You cannot explain it here?

We each have the right to vote as we see fit, so no big deal, I was just curious.

Normally I'm on team Beefy, but I've got to side with JD here. If you can get into playing a sim baseball game, it's hard to believe that you have a disconnect with the sim HoF portion. It just doesn't compute. I also agree, that if there's a reason behind it, you should be pretty forward about it. No need to piss around the issue. We did enough of that shit back when I first took over and I had hoped that everyone got it out of their system at that point.
