SUPERBYOWL I: STONER'S SLOTHS vs MIGHTY DUCKS Here's the league link to follow along! https://fantasy.espn.com/football/league?leagueId=1615609309 Introduction: What is footballs? Mormon Nailer posted:Footballs fact: footballs was invented in 1973 by Dan Marino as a cover for the fact that he just wanted to drink a lot of Gatorade but his wife said no Dan you cannot so he invented a game where at the end they would pour it on him so he was a delicious boy and from that delicious boy, the ultimate pastime was born NEWS: Vaccinations for The Fugue are now available!

Previous weeks' news: Week 1 news: Week 2 news: Your Season 1 coaches and teams:
-----original op follows----- y'all are awesome but effortposting has never been my strong suit. So I was thinking, how can I give back here? Only other thing I do on SA nowadays in a couple of goon fantasy leagues. so let's play some BYOB-flavored fantasy football!! no wait come back seriously hear me out so look. ok. If this is gonna work then I figure it needs to be 1) simple 2) chill 3) yobbish Here's my idea: 1) simple: You don't know a tight end from a tailback? Doesn't matter. Your team is 1 ball thrower dude (gotta have someone to start the play), 1 defense (gotta have someones to stop the play), 1 kicker (because kicker), and 6 of whatever other offensive dudes you want. And in fact you don't even have to worry about that because... 2) chill: You don't have to do anything. You don't have to pick players. You don't have to draft. In fact, uh, you can't. The draft will be done automatically. You will be given a random team at the whims of ESPN's autodraft algorithms. And you don't have to worry about ever* changing those players either. 3) yobbish: Your players get one point for literally doing anything**. If it's scorable (and there are a ton of scorable things), it gets one point. They look at the ball? One point. They catch a ball? One point. They drop the ball? One point. Score 6 points? One point. Good, bad, whatever; if it's scorable it counts for one point. There is no skill. There is no strategy. This will be a huge mess and I really wanna see what happens with it. I'm hoping for a trainwreck that has similar vibes to that king of passive splorts, blaseball. c'mon fake coaches; come win the first annual ...superbyob? byoberbowl? Whatever. The more people the merrier, though for this to happen I figure we'll need at least 5-7 other teams besides me to not suck. Prolly suck anyway. Wanna try. -----end original op----- Waitlist for...future iterations maybe I dunno? Bright Bart barnold(?) alexandriao Lock fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jan 6, 2022 |

FAQ: 1) This is horribly unbalanced. Yes, I know, I don't care. It's a gimmick and I'm running with it. Also, not a question. 1A) Did you really just do the 'that's not a question' gag in your faq? Yes, sorry. 2) What do I gotta do? As little as you want. Lemme know here you're in and (if you're feeling proactive) shoot me a PM with your email. Otherwise I'll shoot you a PM with the league link. Beyond that? That's it, though feel free to talk about how bad your team is throughout the year. 3) I don't know crap about football. same Realtalk, it doesn't matter. It's 95% automatic; it's just an excuse to watch random numbers go up and pretend like we've accomplished something. I'm almost positive that I have things set up so that not even someone who knows what they're doing will have more than a coin flip's chance of winning every week. Any questions, just ask in the thread!) 4) What's with them asterisks? *: About 1/3 of the way through the season, there will be real-world bye weeks, weeks where some teams don't play. You will have a chance to swap inactive players for active players if you wanna do that. And if you don't it probably won't matter anyway. Also, sadly, injuries happen. You'll have a chance to swap one of your players with the pool of unrostered players once a week. Again, this will almost definitely have zero effect on your chances of winning in this league. **: I'm cheating a little: 10 yards of progress, whether by air or by land, is 1 point. Otherwise this would be insane. Also, there is an impossible play that has never happened in pro ball that will score your team 1000 points. Because I can. 5) This game ruins peoples' lives. The NFL's history on covering up the effects of repetitive brain injuries makes supporting the league unethical. How can you do this? This is something I'm still struggling with myself. I'll get back to you on that. 6) What do I get if I win? I'm thinking about that, but I'd like to do something for the winner, even if it's just chip in 10bux so you can add a note or tag to your avatar about how you won the first annual superbyob and make everyone else on these great forums jealous. https://giant.gfycat.com/ThoseAcrobaticCapybara.webm |

oh sweet we got more than enough to make this work! Once I get back from work I’ll start sending out info if you wanna sign up. **BUT THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR MORE YOU YES YOU YOU CAN PLAY TOO** couple’a notes: - you do not have to sign up for espn’s site if you don’t want to. You can just tell me what to name your team. but you won’t be able to make lineup adjustments (again, not that that will likely matter) - knowing nothing about football makes you about 73% more likely to win. seriously. the scoring for this league is abhorrent and i love it - but if you legit do wanna learn about this rulebook of a sport, i am more than happy to inform https://giant.gfycat.com/ThoseAcrobaticCapybara.webm |

ok so we’ve currently got 14 (counting me) and that is a prime number of teams for a league...ok it’s not a prime number it’s even for starters what I meant to say is that it is a good number but good has nothing to do with this. Still taking any who want in. Just PM’d the signup link to y’all. One stumbling block I’ve already come across — I don’t think it’s gonna let me create teams for unregistered users. That’s cool, that’s fine, I’ll find a way around it even if I have to make burner accts. That said, if you have a spam mail acct you’re ok using to sign up with, that’ll make things smoother. Your call though! ————— You keep saying this is an abomination. Why and how? This is a sampling of the scoring of a normal league I’m in. Don’t worry if you don’t understand the labels, just know that really good things score multiple points, things that accumulate throughout a game get a few points per, and bad things get negative points. Now here’s a sampling of our league’s scoring. Everything that can, gets your team 1 point. No matter how good, no matter how bad. What’s not shown is just how many more ways there are to get points in this league. To real fake football, this is blasphemy. For us, effort is rewarded. Failure is another word for a successful learning opportunity. And your accomplishments, no matter how small, are just as important as anybody else’s. https://giant.gfycat.com/ThoseAcrobaticCapybara.webm |
