His dogs got out again
I like destiny but I feel I'm so far behind and can't play with you guys bc I'm level 15 only
I just hit 20 almost 21 and feel the same way! Get to 20 and we can do the daily and weekly strikes together to cach up. By the time we get to raid level they'll have all the tricks down (and wont run it with us!)
He's been playing a ton of destiny. Won't be coming back to Dota for a while.
Ive been where you've been grave. You can break the hold!
who were we playing with last night on that strike?
tbuc, he posts here sometimes. Friend of mine.

You don't even raid as the right faction. It's like Wildstar all over again.

any decent deals on laptops right now or any of you dudes bought one recently? i was trying to hold out for black friday but this POS laptop is crapping out faster than expected. it's a game in itself to get it to charge!

Squall is a beast! Self rezes with everyone dead so we can finish the last 2% of the boss.
Just make sure it can play dota.

Luckily it doesn't take much to run dota. That pretty much all I'm going to look for when i try to get a laptop for ti5.

OK I am with ez on the negotiations. I offer above what the guys want and not only do they reject it but then I can't even keep going with another offer. What the fuck is the point of this, just automate it. I tell the AI what guys I want to keep and it doesnt fuck me over with huge contracts. Done deal.
yeah, gave 1 guy what he wanted and he accepted
thought oh, that was easy... got rejected by the next two doing the same thing
tagged one of them and that was enough negotiation for me

what are you guys offering? i have had negotiations with 8 or 9 guys and this has literally not happened to me once. i've had guys not accept and i've always been able to get more chances at it. in chris cullivers case i negotiated with him from week 1 to week 11 and had changed my offer up and down each week. are you giving lower salary and higher guarantees?

And whoever wants to raid lets do it now!
N1ghtz? splat? Az? Eznark? Crow? Anyone else?
I offered whatever the default offer was, and it changed their status to 'not interested' and that was the end of that
I think plan was to vance at 8PT
It would help if the game also let you know how much guaranteed money they were looking for. Most likely why offers that are at the expected amount are being rejected. Not enough bonus money.

see i don't do that at all. a lot of the default offers (especially the 1 or 2 year offers) have literally no guarantees (as in, $0). i always adjust my offers from the default. i might take more out of the salary and add some into the guarantee to make up for it. never had anyone flat out reject and refuse to talk to me any further. then again i am the mighty niners! who wouldn't want to play for the crown jewel of the nfl!

I have only negotiated with guys I actually want to keep. In those cases I go with what they want and bump the salary higher. So if a guy wants 1.5 mil for a year and it's 1 mil base and 500k bonus I've given 1.25 base and 500k bonus as an example and still get rejected.

you should try 1 mil base and 750k guaranteed, for instance. if you want to reduce the overall contract, take away salary and add some to the guarantee.
with culliver like i said i negotiated with him for 11 weeks going back and forth on what i would give. he was looking for overall 3 year, $6.2 mil. the first few weeks i was at or above that number but with relatively low guarantees. by week 11 the total contract was at $6.1 but he had gotten much higher guarantees than i initially offered him
Eznark is truly approaching this stage like Ted Thompson

You have to spend points into confidence. Or train in it. Look at a players confidence to see how predictable he will be in negotiations.
FrenchMovieTheme

i don't disagree with you i'm just letting you know how to get around it (possibly).
another thing you can do is buy the "predictable" trait for guys. it makes them more predictable in contract negotiations

your boy gabbert will be a free agent and i'm sure you can have him for an RG3 turkey melt from subway. subway: eat fresh
Personally, I could never tell if EA was smart enough to actually include signing bonus when it came to comparing what a guy wants and what you offer. I often got the feeling that the game viewed an offer of $1M base and $500,000 signing bonus as just an offer of $1M.
I'll pick him up so he can tie Blake's shoes

One can dream.This is what it should offer:
Just fucking rip off that system. It is perfect.
