Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.

I only have 2 dudes worth keeping so I'm voting for 2

So to be clear, and just so you are aware (which you already may be I just want to confirm), even if it is 4 you can still keep your 2 and would only mean you would start drafting in round 3 instead of someone who kept 4 who would start drafting in round 5. I'm good with your vote of 2, I just wanted to clarify.

Also the server error is cleared and our league page is now accessible.

I would also like to vote on monetary rewards for 1st-3rd place. Would everyone be willing to put in :10bux: to one of those fantasy football holding sites so we can add some incentives here? Last year was kinda touch and go first year and we really didn't do what I wanted (even though Silly made that awesome gang tag) but cash prizes and punishment for last place is something I would like to do providing everyone else is down.

yeah this is 100% a spite vote to screw over anyone good enough to have more than 2 dudes worth keeping

lol I can appreciate that

And cool, thanks for replying about the cash. Thinking we would do a cash prize for 1-3 and then set aside :10bux: for an avatar for last place. Will have to figure out the math if everyone else is in.

I’m down with up to four keepers at the cost of draft picks. Also the $10. In another goon league, we just PayPal the commish the money, but whatever everyone wants.

I also want a HALL OF CHAMPIONS to be added to the OP.

And put my team name/user name in lights under the HALL OF CHAMPIONS dammit.

I strongly oppose any keepers. My reasoning is that I had no idea keepers were a thing and once I realized last season that I wouldn't win I did a lot of random experimentation and ended up with a bunch of random not-very-good players because I was just having fun with it and see if I could hit with an overlooked guy. I may not even have one player worth keeping and I certainly don't have two, and I think it'd be a pretty big bummer for me to have a couple lovely players and then all the best guys aren't even available in the draft so I never recover.

I say we start tabula rasa and see who can do that limited game best. If I must vote though, 1.

It definitely rewards teams that draft well, but I think you will see that even if we have 4 that hardly anyone will keep 4. Plus, if they do...you get first crack at the rookies and there will be some really good names that will not get kept due to age.

That's cool for this year, but I have a proposal for next year. Whoever makes the playoffs gets inverse order of finish the next year (So I'd draft 14th, wAc 13th, etc.). However, whoever makes the consolation bracket, they're playing for the #1 draft pick next year, and the consolation bracket then goes the other way. So the winner of the consolation bracket gets the #1 pick next year, the runner-up gets #2, and so on.

I do this in another league, and it's called the Toilet Bowl vs the Super Bowl. However, we have found that it keeps people playing as it gives them something to play for, and it absolutely destroys the urge to tank, because if you deliberately tank, you're not drafting #1, you're drafting #7 or #8. Sometimes people forget that and we point and laugh at them.

*********

Suggestion for payout with 14 teams:

1st place - 80 bucks
2nd place - 40 bucks
3rd place - 10 bucks
Last place avatar - 10 bucks

OR

1st place - 80 bucks
2nd place - 30 bucks
3rd place - 10 bucks
Last place avatar - 10 bucks
Either highest weekly score of the season or regular season champion - 10 bucks (Personally, I'd say highest weekly score because everyone still qualifies every week to shoot for that)

I'm no math major, but looks like 2 Keepers is going to be it and $10 will be the buy in. I don't mind you guys pay pal'ing me, I just know the poo poo that went down with PWP last year and while I know I would never do such a thing, I would understand if y'all were not comfortable sending me the money and instead using a 3rd party.

In the coming weeks, I'll update the keeper settings, and finalize all the monetary rewards and punishments!

who cares its ten bucks. I'd sacrifice ten bucks just for the hilarity of someone running off with it, although I know you wouldn't do that.

pretty sure I don't have a single person that's worth skipping the first round for, but it's also hard to know who everyone else will be keeping. I suppose once everyone decide who they're keeping, then a list will become available of the players that will be in the draft?

Not dead! Though going through some things that is kinda forcing me to step back from a lot of things...SA included...so apologies for leaving this hanging. I'm not going to get into why, but I just made Silly commish and removed myself from the league so you will need 1 more team.
