SKA SUCKS


Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5

Back to life. Like Jon Snow. In Game of Thrones.

Like the city of Mereen, we are a free league. Also like the city of Mereen, our dialogue is dumb as heck, we negotiate with one-sided & insulting trade offers, and the person in charge doesn't know what he's doing. Oh, and we have a keeper system.

Site:
ESPN - League Page

Scoring:

1Q / 2R / 2W / 1T / 1 WRT / 1DST / 7 BN - no kickers
0.5 PPR otherwise ESPN standard

Draft & Schedule:
Wednesday September 6th, 9PM Eastern
H2H weeks 1-13
Playoffs: 4 teams qualify then 2 rounds of 2-week playoffs (wks 14-17)

Keepers:
Up to 3 keepers
Keeper values are last years auctions' cost plus $5
Auction is a $200 budget.

And GoT related names are mandatory of course.

Previously on Game of Roto:
S1 Champ: nerve (Hallyne's Wildfire)
S2 Champ: Sataere (We Do Not Suh)
S3 Champ: uublog (The Raineys of Castamere)
S4 Champ: RVProfootballer (Khal Tebow of the Chipraki)
S5 Champ: Marshmallow Blue (All Men Must Tear ACLs)

Back as Ser Jameis Lannister! Likely with a new name this year because I'm a dummy and dropped Winston.

e: FA pickups will have a salary of $6 if kept, correct?

I believe that's how we've done it in the past, yep. Unless they were drafted last season, their auction value still applies then.

I also disabled acquisitions for now because that seemed fair

So with Zeke being a big dummyhead, is there anyone here interested in trading for him? It's a risk I'd rather not take. Could be good value if his appeal works. And then he'd be in your control next year.

Hey, I'm in! Thanks for the heads up, nerve, I didn't even see the thread.

Edit: And Khal Tebow is almost certainly keeping Ajayi for $11 and Ware for $12. I also have Crowder and Tyrell Williams as FA $6 keepers, and Demarco Murray for $31, if anyone wants to try to swing a trade.

New player with keeper questions: How do we set our keepers? Is it via the site or does the commish handle it manually? When will we know who everyone's keepers are so we know what players will be in the auction? Finally, is it keep up to three players? Or keep exactly three players?

Oh, thanks for mentioning it, I forgot we voted to go up to three keepers. And it's up to three, don't have to keep any if you don't want. The rest I'm not sure!

Found it. Don't use ESPN for any of my other leagues anymore so I'm a bit rusty on it. Also, on the keeper page it answers another one of my questions. The keepers lock on 9/3, three days before the draft.

Okay buds, we have two new members this season, CompeAnansi taking over JPP's Littlefinger and cheese taking over the White Welkers. Welcome to the league and may your biarves be strong.

Now that the league is full I'm going open up acquisitions Wednesday at 5pm Central. Remember, any players that are FA now are still susceptible to their value from last auction, so no Gronk is not $6

My keepers are so good. I don't need to waiver nobody. In fact, I expect nothing less than total domination. Will entertain lopsided trades for Thomas Brady

Isn't it weird to open FAs before the draft? I don't remember if this is something we voted on or what, but I don't think I've ever been in a league that does that, so not really sure how it'll affect stuff.

Edit: I guess it's just so teams with literally no keepers can snipe some FAs?

But uhh what's to stop someone from grabbing a rookie? Just aren't allowed?

FA's should be locked until post draft.!

Also agree. There's no reason that FA's should be able to be picked up in off-season.

The only thing that should be allowed is trading. Also we should figure out a way to trade auction $ as well. That would rule.

I don't think that's possible within ESPN's software but I will look into this because that would be very cool
