That's not how a quorum works Jace. 7 of the 10 members of this legislative body are marked as present, so we've met the requirements regardless if we need a simply majority (50%+1) or a super majority (2/3). If the latter is required here, you could rescind your vote and deny a quorum, and if it's the former, you could do that and convince another to do the same. 11 hours ago, grozeng said: Contracts here please. Unlike trades, I am counting abstains as Nos essentially. We need 6 Yes votes to make this change since it is in-season. Absentee is not the same as abstaining. Technically speaking, you are the equivalent of the Speaker of the House and/or the Majority Leader of the Senate, and you could push a vote through right now (though I agree we should get 6 yes votes). You have majority support of the majority present.

BLU-RAY Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Anyone want to trade for a QB in this league? I have several, and would like to make a 2-for-1 trade or two so I can go get a DST and kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I suppose we are both short, I'm not a fucking rail like her. Wouldn't want to be. And Jax, do not support this tyrannical IR rule implementation this year.

We wanted to get 6 votes, but since Jace foolishly brought up a quorum, we do have a veto proof majority among the legislators in attendance, so we could ram this thing through.

Sign Watson at $9, 3 years and Parker at $19, 3 years. Everyone else gets a 1 year rental deal, unless someone wants to trade for one of them before the deals become locked in.
