Voted for 1 XMR but am completely flexible. It's just fun to play.


Looking forward to it!  

Voted but I'm flexible on whatever we decide.

I really wanted to vote "25 Trillion Zimbabwean dollars" but I was afraid it might attract Nigerian Princes to the league.

Voted 0.5 XMR. I think it should be fixed XMR amount, and low enough to get more buy in hopefully. I'm fine with 0.75 or 1 XMR also tho.

This is a good point... I'm ok with setting a flat buy in rate if it's ok with everyone else as well.  I'm ok with 1 xmr but let's leave it up to debate for everyone else.  Might be difficult for people we know IRL to front 1 xmr worth even at these prices.

I attached a poll up top

Edit: Hueristic, yeah I'm just assuming everything in the rules is how Fantasy is normally done over at Yahoo; just wanted to have the list of rules for people available if they weren't familiar to the format.

Ha! Just got to reading this thread and caught this Gem hidden in there. Lol

@LennyCarl, Sup man! Hopefully we can have some duels like last year! they were some nail biters.

@eyejay_3, thanks for the Barlow.



Hah, I wasn't gonna say tolds ya so but since you did for me.

Yahoo default (I really don't want to go through that whole list and see if anything is changed), correct?

We certainly proved last year that PPR is a lock to the draft.


Also it just occurred to me that we may want to make the buy in in Monero as doing it in USD terms will fluctuate the buy in so it would be different for everyone. But like I did last time anyone can pay in whatever form JW will accept.

If 1 Monero is too much then .75?
I personally will do 1 without any qualms.

Yeah there are people I know IRL and from the forums who have shown interest, so I think we are going to definitely see a bigger league then last year.  With that being said, I think it's fair to make this first come first serve.

That's why I think it's pretty important to choose a buy in now and set a specific date/time on when to finalize the XMR/USD rate everyone should send in to the pot.

I will update the OP with everyone who posted above

Count me in, too! I feel like this year will have a big attendance so I'm jumping in now. $100 is good to me. August 26 probably works but I can never plan that far ahead, lol.

Very glad to see we're using Yahoo this time!

Thanks again for doing this, phishead.

In, fuck Foles!

J/K I knew he was the real deal when he was drafted but Ryan was a POS coach.

Hell yes I'm in. Excited to have another shot at Moreno Barolo. Also excited to draft big dick Nick Foles in the first round and start him every week even if he's sitting on the bench.

I don't mind being escrow either, if that's fine with everyone.

I think Aug 26 works for me. I'll see if I can round up any irl people to play also.

As of right now we have a couple things to decide on:

1.Buy in:  I'm suggesting a buy in of around $50-100 in XMR, but I am going to leave it to the majority vote.  Let's discuss how much people are willing to throw in and I'll take a vote on this when it gets closer to game time.  Also, if people don't have any XMR they want to spend and want to use BTC instead, I guess I'm OK with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.  But since this is the "Monero Fantasy Football League" I would assume people who play would want to get a pay out in XMR; so just PM me and I can send XMR in the pot for you, plus post the tx hash here in the thread as long as you send me the buy-in equivalent in BTC.

Edit

• Currently discussing whether we should have fixed 0.5, 0.75 or 1.0 XMR buy ins

- Have decided on 1.0 XMR buy ins

2.Escrow:  Since we have had Jwinterm hold the "pool wallet" for... well literally every single event I've ever held, I say we use him as escrow. But if someone else wants to recommend someone to hold funds (that is trustworthy) for the league we can do that too since Jwinterm will be participating.  Multi-sig is also a possibility?

3.Draft Time:  This is flexible.  I still don't know my schedule for work and I'm sure everyone has to figure out what times they are available as well.  I went ahead and set the draft time for Sunday, August 26th @ 5 PM EST.  Let me know what day/time will work for people and we'll figure out a time everyone can dedicate at least 2 hours or so to drafting players.


Other general info about the league:

1.Trophy:  Fellow Monerian eyejay_3 (on IRC) has graciously donated 1 bottle of a Monero edition Barolo that will be gifted to the winner and is still in the works of being made.  Import taxes are still TBD and will have to be paid by the winner if the winner chooses to receive the prize.

2.Scoring:  Yes yes yes... I've heard your concerns *cough*Hueristic*cough*cough* ... *agheem* and I will be using Yahoo this year.  As of right now, here is a general FYI of what the rules look like for scoring:



More ideas to make this better will be well received.  Please post in this thread if you would like to participate.  There is a 20 team maximum, so I went ahead and opened it up to 20 people and will update here in the OP when people post their tx info.  After you post on here, you can also include your email you want me to send an invite link too, or you could just PM it to me.  From there you can sign up & join the league
