You actually HFFO'd yourself, like this is incredible. The league will never let you forget this, I hope you know that.

someone please explain to me how the failure of the league to update a service they offer GM’s to avoid this very thing warrants the GM being punished for what is essentially the league’s fault.

As it has been forever, the pick tracker is not for GMs. The pick tracker is for the commissioner to review for draft threads and for reviewing and approving trades. GMs should have their own tracker. This has been the case since at least S14 or so, which is the earliest I remember a public tracker being posted and updated as a job. The tracker is not for GMs, it's for the league.

That being said, I do hope the best for Ace on his appeal.

An old man's dream ended. A young man's vision of the future opened wide. Young men have visions, old men have dreams. But the place for old men to dream is beside the fire.

Thanks to Jackson, Copenhagen, and Harry Hans!

I think that this is an overkill of punishment.

If you don't get why people are up in arms I don't know what to tell you. Actually reading through things makes it pretty clear, and ownership getting appeals on this doesn't change anything. They are interpreting the rules in the harshest fashion possible to fire a spotless GM before one incident. Do you expect people to see something unjust and go "eh, shit happens," or point out how unjust it is. With how active HO is maybe they'll see that there is unrest because of their decision and use that along with the appeal to consider alternative punishments and rule changes. What's the point in having a forum if you don't want people to talk when something happens?

Honestly, I'm mostly just astonished at how sheltered some people are to think that the scattered image macros posted over the last 30 hours or so constitute something diabolical. This is all quite tame for the SHL. The entire punishment thread has been quite tame. Things have been gradually getting tamer over the years, and that's a good thing, because it used to be pretty vile when I started playing. Nobody on Buffalo has anything against Ace. Given that the draft he was trading in has already happened, I'm not sure he can win his appeal- I hope he does, though. But you can't convince me this isn't funny.

Very unfortunate for Ace that he fucks up twice in a night, but it's the rules.

Having been punished for badmouthing people just a couple of weeks ago, and getting caught using RL incentives to get players to sign with him doesn't really help his case here either.

Regardless of how good a GM we think Ace is, that's not a factor in punishment. Should it be? Maybe. But then again, we can't even differentiate in punishment between actual vile hatespeech and a bad joke. And that line seems a lot easier to draw.

Recipe time. A bit late to this one since I was asleep when it all started but back to provide a recipe nonetheless. This time I'm following up to @BarnabasCollins coney sauce recipe with my own family one(Also tagging @Nictox as a fellow Michigander). I promised to get him this back when we were both GM's but I never got around to writing it down. My familes style is more of a Flint Style sauce compared to Barnabas. I don't have any pictures for this one as I haven't made it in a while. This one requires a bit more equipment to make than expected, but it's stuff we have always had since we pass down the recipe. It makes a decent amount of sauce that we usually freeze for a while.

Gibbles Family Coney Sauce

Ingredients:

8 oz Kogels Beef Hotdogs(Gotta be all beef and Kogels is just the brand we always use in Michigan)
16 oz of Ground Chuck or Chuck Steak
8 oz of Beef Heart
1 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder
1 1/2 Tablespoon of Cumin
1 Tablespoon of Salt
1/2 Tablespoon of Black Pepper
3 Tablespoons of Paprika
1 Tablespoon of Chili Powder
1 Tablespoon of Corn Starch
1 Large Sweet Onion
1 Cup of Beef Tallow(You can use Lard or Crisco here as well, it just isn't as flavorful)
1-2 Cups of Water

What You Need

Cutting Board
Chefs Knife
Meat Grinder(You could do it in a food processor but it wont be nearly as good. Since we do this in my family we always had one.)
Measuring Spoons/Cups
1 Large Bowl
Large Saucepan or Pot with cover
Stove/Heating Element

Instructions:

1. Put your Beef Heart/Chuck Steak/Beef Hotdogs in the freezer for roughly 40 minutes to 1 hour prior to starting. We want it to be firm so it can be ground easily.

2. Use your Chef's knife to finely chop or mince your onion. You want this to be pretty small pieces. Once minced, set aside while we prepare to grind the meat.

3. Take the Meat out of the freezer and cut any larger portions into 1 inch slices or cubes(This will depend more on what type of meat grinder you have, be sure to figure this out before starting). Use your meat grinder to grind the Beef Heart, Chuck Steak(If you didn't just buy pre-ground chuck), and Beef Hotdogs(You can also just mince these by hand or use a food processor if you want, we have always just ground them with a meat grinder to get smaller pieces) into your large bowl.

4. Add the Salt, Black Pepper, and Garlic Powder to the Meat Mixture and mix well to incorporate. I usually use my hands to do this part, so either grab some gloves or just dig in. Be sure to wash your hands after to avoid cross contamination.

5. Add your Beef Tallow to the large saucepan/pot and begin to heat up. Add your minced onions to the Tallow and cook for a few minutes on high. Let the onions really start to sweat and turn translucent. You could also let them caramelize if you have extra time, but normally I don't.

6. Once the onions are cooked add your meat mixture to the saucepan and mix. We are not looking to brown the meat like you would with tacos or something similar

7. Add your Cumin, Chili Powder, Corn Starch, and Paprika to the pan. Add water until it is almost covering the meat and mix everything well. Let this simmer on medium-low heat, covered, for roughly 30-40 minutes, stirring every few minutes to make sure nothing is burning on the bottom of the pan.

8. As the sauce is cooking we are looking to reduce it to a pretty thick consistency with a more meat based appearance. That's the best way I can describe it, I will put an example of what I mean below at the end. You really just want almost no lose liquid in the sauce.

9. Once the sauce is cooked you are all set to serve on top of some Kogel Hotdogs(You want the stuff with the natural casing that has a snap when you bite into it) with some mustard and fresh onions. It's not unheard of to also add some shredded cheese as well.

Thanks for following along with one of my favorite family recipes growing up. Coney's are a bit of a tradition in Michigan and it's something my family really like to make.

Pic below is not my sauce but just one for a reference to how it should look when reduced and ready to serve.
