I currently have a draft already set for September 2nd at 9pm eastern standard time

I made it 7est for now so you would have 2 hours before your other one.

Interesting stores about Jimmy G. I however don’t think that it will have any effect on his trade market. They will of course keep him as one of their players on the 53 man roster, as sooner or later someone is going to need his services and they will get a sold pay day in return (maybe a few picks, not sure they’ll get more than a 2/3rd rounder).

& thank you, that time from will work for me. Two drafts back to back, I dig it.

In 15 days, we’ll find out whether the 49ers are sufficiently committed to give up a 53-man roster spot for a guy they no longer want on the team. Eleven days after that, we’ll find out whether they’d actually pay him to keep him from waving farewell to San Francisco and saying hello to Seattle.

I don't make $24 million a year, but I answer texts, emails, and even phone calls on the weekend. Hell, my boss even calls me when I'm vacation; one time I answered while I was riding my motorcycle, carving the curves south of Coos Bay! WTF, JG?

Current settings as far I can tell.
If any of these are wrong let me know.

Looks good.

I currently have a draft already set for September 2nd at 9pm eastern standard time ( New York time). I can make that work if we are possibly able to set the draft a little earlier than that 9PM time slot. Worst comes to worst I think I could probably run two drafts at the same time but would rather not.

Have we picked a commissioner yet? We need to get the league established, e-mails out to everyone for signing up etc.

I vote for Sept. 2, the last Friday before the week 1. The first game of the season is Thursday Sept. 8.

Sept. 2 would be ideal, as close to the start of the season as possible. My hours are extremely flexible, i've no preference....anything between 6 and 10 Eastern (EST) would probably work. We can finish the draft in about an hour if we are all present.

Should have demanded everyone pay in Monero...

Lol, that would do it. Grin

It funny you say that; Hueristic sent me XMR in trade for his BTC payment right after the ring upgrade thingy. Our respective wallets were causing us both nightmares for hours.

Yeah, our timing sucked lol, neither of us was upgraded and I forgot it was d-day.

Yes for September 2 and also hopefully we draft on the same time we did during the last season. Also, when will we pay for the league? Will it be next week? I will only be using the coins from my signature campaign and this week's payment was already used for a 10x leveraged trade on Stepn GMT hehehehehehe. Move to earn!

... that way you could convert it to ETH and YOLO into CryptoDickButts, Sea Hams, and some other pretty sweet NFTs.

I don't think I want anything to do with dickbutts, crypto or otherwise. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Shocked

So when's our draft date? And we still need for the league to be created, right?

If I forgot to vote for something, just assign my vote to the current majority on unresolved issues, thanks.

I vote for Sept. 2, the last Friday before the week 1. The first game of the season is Thursday Sept. 8.

I didn't get much time to compile the votes from the last couple of weeks, but I'll try to sneak it in the next couple of days. I did add all the recently discussed items to the main list in this post:

Thought this was funny & relevant

Wonder what he did... would have been pretty hard to f it up if he had just bought BTC in Sept and paid everybody out in Jan... would have been down about 20%, max.

That account is a great twitter follow BTW. If you didn't know, the idea is people write their crypto stories to the account and the worst (or best) ones get published anonymously.

That's hilarious but I'd like to say knowing most people in ff like to gamble, I'm sure there are even worse stories about what managers do with the money. I'd say probably a bunch of managers are paying out of pocket by the end of the year lol. At least this guy has probably killed it in years past.

Bitcoin might begin pumping to $30k and I would hate to pay more in dollar terms if we can send open payments starting next week.

Bitcoin has been pumping lately, so yeah I hope it goes to $30k. Grin

The escrow address has been sent via mass-PM to all participants to preserve a modicum of privacy. I have no objections to posting it in public if that's preferred. Feel free to send payment whenever you feel like, but let's try to get payment in before the draft. The next order of business is deciding on a date for the live draft. I liked waiting until the Friday before the season starts, hopefully that works for everyone.

Did any of you guys watch the 9ers/Green Bay game last night? It was fun to watch Trey Lance get some significant playing time. I'm a bit less apprehensive about him starting for us this year after watching him last night. I have a feeling we're going to be a measurable amount better at the QB position this year.

All good I like the Friday before the first games. Gives the least amount of time ending up with a player on the ir before week one even starts.

And yeah I seen parts of the game but I wouldn't put too much stock into a preseason game. For MLB it's kind of how the players will play but football, it's way different, most of the guys on the field in preseason won't even see the light of day during the regular season.

No we do not like this. We want to start the league with cheaper bitcoin and end the league with 5x higher bitcoin hehehe.

In any case, I also have no objections if it is publicly posted, however, I am also okay if some of you in the league want it in private. I also agree on waiting until the Friday before the season begins, similar to what we have done for NFL 2021-2022.

GIANTS on in 4 hours whoo hoo finally.

Seriously? Shit I better get crackin' if I want to get home in time. It's been one of those frustratingly unproductive days at work. Hell, the whole week seems to have been like this. Running around busy as hell, and getting next to nothing done.

Why are there two games in competing time slots today? And they seem to be starting a bit early, no? I don't recall these odd hours last pre-season.

Quote from: wheelz1200 on August 11, 2022, 01:55:37 PM

Hate nfl offseason seems like forever lol.

Lol, and it's shorter this year, but yeah pre-season always seems to elevate the anticipation of regular season. Funny how that works.

Yep, this is the crappy game though. Starters play only a couple set of downs and I think Mac Jones isn't even playing for the Patriots. The next game the starters shoukd get at least a half of work in and is a bit more competitive. But I care not...give me my football!!

I watched a little bit of that game and a little bit of some of the others on television yesterday. Of course I watched a little bit the Chicago Bears game. It was an ugly first half. The second half was better but of course by then all the starters had been pulled and the game was meaningless (not that the whole thing isn’t already).

@direwolf- thanks for the message will send payment later on today. If you’re acting as escrow, might as well take up the mantle as commissioner no?

13) Increase draft from 30 seconds 60 seconds

YES

14) Increase draft from 30 seconds 90 seconds

NO too long waiting that long if someone drops is a nightmare.

15) -2 for interceptions

YES

I vote the same! ^

I don't mind having -2 for interceptions, but i could have made the playoffs last season if it were 1 point for interception instead of two.

Quote from: morvillz7z on November 22, 2021, 07:08:53 PM

Dak had to throw that interception with 1 min left as if the fumble and the first interception were not enough, all this while my other QB recorded 3 rushing TDs. Grin

My votes are the same as DireWolfM14's votes. Yes, no, yes for 13, 14 and 15.

I request the next to be opened for discussion and voting is when will we begin paying for the league's entry fee? Bitcoin might begin pumping to $30k and I would hate to pay more in dollar terms if we can send open payments starting next week.
