Giving access to leader and trophy rerolls for big guys, is that a good idea or not?

Why do you let your bias show and put those disclaimers in the polls? This poll should be Yes, No, Don't care. The reply section is for us to decide why we think the answer is yes or no. You did it on the last poll too. Your polls stink. Problem is, the subjects are valid.

I think that big guys are screwed anyway. WA is a horrible rule that never worked, but they keep trying to use it. Lose WA, make them boneheaded, and allow rerolls of all types. On average you will miss the roll 2 or 3 times a game, using half of your rerolls for most teams. It also means big guys will be used as blitzers or ball carriers more...less just beating on weaklings to get SPPs for advances. My experience with allowing Team Rerolls supported their use, so I say yes allow them both.

1 more thing...fix the frigging rules so that the book allows it. :pissed: All the BBRC talk, and emails from Jervis are worthless until it ends up in the book, or published errata. The word "exactly" must mean something different to the English (or just Jervis) than to Americans.

OK, end of rant. :lol:

Sorry, i really try not to. I thought i had given the most standard answer given from both sides. I'll change it right away. The last thing i want is a biased poll.

In the last poll, i didn't give any reason at all, so i don't know what that last comment was about.

Oh, for those who wonder what the initial answers were, here it is (it doesn't matter if i put it here since you've probably voted anyway once you get to read this):

1. Yes, they need the help
2. No, they're good enough without them and they need to be a liability
3. I don't really care either way

It didn't affect the votes since there was only one vote entered (mine) when i changed it.

I was referring to the I think it's stupid thing. I think it was #3. Some may have not thought about it but they don't want to be thought of as stupid so they jump on that one. That poll should have been yes/no/whocares too. I think the color should be in the comments section. Let people bring up that their league changed it and how it worked for them or that they'll go to their grave hating it. Maybe their league plays it that way but they like the original results. Having it in the poll just skews the results a bit.

"I don't like it" and "i think it's stupid" are basically the same. I could have put "i think it's great" instead of "i like it", i don't think it would have made a difference either.

I wanted to know both people's opinion and how they played it, that's why the 4 options are in there.

Really, i think you're grasping at straws if you think that poll was biased.

I think it was a valid point, not grasping at straws at all. It's your poll, run it anyway you wish. I was only trying to help.

This is one thing I'm not super keen on. I think Pro is enough to negate the negatives of their racial characteristics.

Definately a bad thing, negative traits are there for a reason.

Also introduces a new level of confusion because Leader Re-rolls are stated to work like TRR except for this exception, not exactly the intuitive answer.
