Work in progress...
Since the dawn of games with winners and losers, losers have been upset at losing, and will often suggest issues with the game being at fault. With chance/gambling based games in particular, often the loser has done nothing wrong. Sometimes in fact the winner makes a wrong move, but wins anyway through luck. This does not mean that they did not win. It just makes the loss difficult to accept.
When I hear things like, "splitting it would be fair", i wonder "Since when has fantasy football been about fairness?" FFB is about winning and losing. The outcomes of games are not fair nor unfair, it is just the outcome based on the rules set up. And the rules are clear. If you start a player that ends up not playing, you are awarded no points. Their not playing being justified or even noble is not relevant. They play, you get points, they don't play, you don't. All this talk about awarding ties that aren't ties and splitting the winnings are implying a fairness to a game that has no such thing.
Finally, it is making up rules after the fact. If this is something we would like to change then we could make some amendments to the rules for future games. But making up new rules now, post game, because we didn't like what happened isn't how games work.

i mean, it's compelling. and definitely cements your reputation as the asshole of the league. so, two birds one stone imo. but also, this is where the actual rules the league is playing by, and the commissioner should come in. you guys are using the yahoo league setup. unless your league has specific language somewhere within its charter rules about forfeits or postpones / canceled games, then you have all agreed to abide by the rules as enforced by the site that your league literally runs on. yahoo has crowned you champ. what possible grounds or merit is there in upending that? also, losers lose and losers are losers because they lose. they'll always be losers. because they're losers. i realize that's tough to come to terms with, but, avast yee it hath be dost so upon thine. and so it doth be. dost so. upon thine stupid loser heads and faces. maybe you could add that.

AKA not an asshole. :B you know our league. of course we don't have any bullshit charter rules like that. that would require the league creator/commissioner to have actually done stuff besides make the worst youtube videos in the history of the platform! an excellent suggestion for an addition. really sums it all up nicely. and a nice touch of additional assholery too.

AKA not an asshole. :B oh come on, just a quick message to the peeps. "please, i implore all of you, to please split amongst yourselves the money that i rightfully won. all i want is for others to be happy." oooooh, i never watched those. maybe there's something burried in one of them about you not winning in the case of a heart attack game cancellation!! i learned it by watching you! ;bowdown;

"please, i implore all of you, to please split amongst yourselves the money that i rightfully won. all i want is for others to be happy." oh that's good! i might use that. that is true. i never finished watching them. not many could get through them! :vernoog:
I spoke with the guy who is the loser. he doesn't seem like he cares too much. he was trying to get some banter going on the chat. thought maybe some others would jump in, but just crickets. i don't know him well so i wasn't sure if he was serious or what, but i gez nut. tho when people "joke" there is always truth in there.

THAT'S THE FAIREST THING EVAR AND THERE'S NO ARGUMENT TO BE MADE! ;stuburn; *holds hand out triumphantly* yes yes i accidentally misspelled everybody as him!

right! that's what he would say if he had any contact with the league now. which he does not. because it has been commished to completion and there are no controversies to solve! apparently he still considers this league all wrapped up. still no word, but more importantly, no payments@!#!@# if the commissioner hadn't already handled all of this earlier in his videos, i would think he might go for this. 🎶 everybody loves assholoes!! 🎵 everybody loves 'em good!@#!

i'm starting to rethink this whole idea! PAYMENT!!!$##$@$#@$#@ sorry! i did not mean to get you aggravated! yep! he finally came on and said something in group chat. let's see. it really put us all at ease and reminded us that it was handled bigtime. i guess paying out the winners is "non-essentials". cuz he's soooo busy at work. 🙄
do you have ANY idea how long it would take to pay 3 people!@ MINUTES!@#@!# he doesn't have that kind of time. he's a VERY busy man.
the true sign of love!
