I have no problem with doing it at 6:00 or 7:00 Tuesday, I usually just go later in case there are west-coast players.

Goons, thoughts?

I get home at 5:45PM-6PM CST. Any time after that is ok with me.

This league has me so confused in terms of what to root for. Really want to be a couple weeks in and middle of the pack so I can just start my guys.

Skyy Moore for Jefferson is catastrophic.

I think you'd rather have the Dallas D. They did score almost triple what Jefferson did. Who doesn't steal the person who scored the most? Some person who doesn't know strategy, that's who. :colbert:

I have decided that as penance for forgetting to switch the league to a FAAB setting that I'm not going to use my waiver priority this week, though.

This format works okay with standings waiver but getting the shell AND first priority makes last place a very enviable spot. It really works better as FAAB (as all leagues do)

Personally, I don't care if you do switch it, it's still early and this league is experimental anyway. I'm good either way.

Silly Burrito is not allowed to drop/trade any players until after the shell trade is posted, Toad Gurley has until 9:00 PM EST tonight to do so, otherwise they lose the shell and Rainbow Road Warriors will be able to steal from them.

Trade made. I’m jumping over that drat shell next week.

I realize the odds of this are really small, but what happens if two teams end up having a tie for the lowest score?

Personally, I think the two shells would hit each other and the first place team would drive way laughing like Wario.

In my friend league there was a guy who got shelled like 6 times in a row last year, we were all screaming "WHY. WON'T. YOU. DIE."

This is not sour grapes, I swear, but I do think it would be better if it was the highest score of the week who got shelled/lowest who gets the shell. That way there's more variety and swaps.

I can see that, but what I like about this format is that it forces you to pay attention to the whole league, to everyone's point standings, and to make some decisions you might not normally make, because it might not be in your best interest to just try to win or score as much as possible.

I really like the challenge of trying to put together a team that wins but only wins by a certain margin or keeps under a certain point level.

In my other league I started a bunch of people I never would before because I knew I was in danger of being shelled, I had to decide which people I wouldn't mind losing, had an opportunity to tank at the late game by swapping out the Steelers Defense late, didn't take it, so now I'm going to be 3-0. Even though all my players are done, I'm desperately watching another game hoping the other 2-0 team wins so they get shelled instead of me.

If I do get shelled, I'm going to lose one of my sacrificial lambs like Amon-Ra or James Conner.

It's a totally different experience than anything else I've played.

If we did a week-by-week system, I worry it would just be like regular fantasy, everyone just trying to put together their best team and just seeing what happens. Except with more swaps. Which could be fun too.

Good points, thanks!

What's really funny is that by this point you have enough of a points lead that even if you lost one game you'd still probably be in first place.

I just figure that Toad Gurley really likes my team, since Toad has taken away three of my players. ;)

If I’m calculating correctly, if I win this week and Team Waaahhh loses, I’ll have at least two straight weeks of the shell no matter what I do.

I think points-wise, Silly Burrito is actually still in first and will still be getting hit with the shell, and I am happy to deliver the final nail in this coffin. I'll teach you all how to throw a shell.

Funny thing, I set a legitimate lineup but besides for starting Moss or Fields, it would’ve turned out about the same anyway. Just a bad week and I’ll still lose player #5 anyway.

IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR TRADE:
Your shell is considered forfeit for the week. The first-place manager is now safe.
The manager above you (in second-to-last place) now has 24 hours to force a trade to steal one of your players.
