Wootwoot!

Reverse order of standings would help those that get shafted in the draft or had some bad luck with injuries.  It would also make the league more competitive as time goes on, and maybe prevent any one from getting discouraged and quitting.  I'm okay either way, but I think I like reverse order of standings better.


I agree with this.  It's only going to apply to the last two weeks of the season anyway.


The only thing I'll add is that we're still pending two payments, and BTC is cheap right now...  

I prefer ^vote "continual rolling" over "reverse order of standings"! People shouldn't be punished for having a good season/record...everyone should have a fair chance at getting the #1 waiver priority throughout the season.



Sounds good to me!

OK, everyone has joined so I set draft order and did a final setting run through.

I noticed "Determine waiver priority by" is set for continual rolling list which is yahoo default.

We had "Reverse order of standings" last year.

Should we vote on this setting?

I also changed "Lock Eliminated Teams" setting as it was set to no and there is no good reason for a team that has been eliminated from both consolation bracket and playoff bracket to be changing its roster.

Also we have 8 days until draft so we need to make sure everyone that is going to vote on the settings has done so so we can be certain all the settings are correct and we should have that done by a week before draft I would think.

So everyone take the time to look through the league settings and make sure they are what you want and if not bring it up right now.


If I forgot anything let me know.

Alright thanks for the confirmation guys, Wolf I just sent over the .0025BTC and shot ya a message with the tx. 

Getting so close, hope ya'll have been studying up ! lol.  Honestly I think I've done more studying this year than I ever have. I changed jobs and now working from home (at least most of the time) I've had a pretty easy first couple months with a lot of free time in between meetings and what not.  Pretty sure it'll be my worst year ever despite that  lol.

I am finally in!

It should be obvious which is my team but just in case it is the South Park Q/Cows Reloaded (SPQR)

And that is the reason I believe he belongs to the HOF, it is true that when we look at this stats Eli is not the best, especially his wins and losses which are exactly the same, but the HOF is not only about numbers, it is about the memories, and while people understood how big the win of the NYG was at SB XLII, people did not really understood at the time how big the win at SB XLVI was, Brady is now 7-3 at the SB, which is ridiculous, and two of those defeats came at the hands of Eli, and that is HOF worthy if you ask me.

And when we add he comes from NFL royalty and played at NY I do not see how he is not going to eventually get enough votes to get to the HOF, besides the only QB with two SB wins not in the hall is Plunkett and I do not think the same will happen to Eli.

I had Seattle RB's last year and they were a bit lackluster.

Or, pick their entire stable of running backs, lol!

When I clicked the post button on that previous one, the telegram bot informing me of your reply startled me.  It seemed simultaneous.  That was weird. 

Confirmed.

If JimmyG does go to Seattle its really gonna change the rankings, atm I don't want any Seagulls!


EDIT: Dammit DW beat me by 1 second! thats because I tried to spell garapolo and just changed it to JimmyG when I failed!

I've never made a secret about my mancrush on AR12.  I was a fan from his days at Cal Berkeley.  He was from northern California, and grew up a Niners fan.  Everybody was sure the we were going to pick him with the first OAP.  Conversely, I've never made a secret of my disdain for Mike Nolan for taking Alex Smith instead.

I don't necessarily agree with all his Holly Weird philosophies, but yeah it's good to see some people with unpopular views become uncancelable.

Yes:

I picked last in 2021, but ended up winning the league.  It was all luck, and only when it counted, it seemed.  I didn't have a great season, even got beat by uncle nutildah when he was a no-show.  

I also did not know that the entry fee has been confirmed already to be .0025. I thought the address sent in my inbox was only to make it ready once the amount has been confirmed.

@ChiBitCTy. However, this news update might cause the Seattle Seahawks to begin inquiring for Garoppolo's services hehehe.



Now, the story has changed again. 49ers GM John Lynch spoke to KNBR’s Tom Tolbert today and seemed to indicate that we may be close to the time for the 49ers to just release Garoppolo rather than continuing to seek a trade.

I'm a die hard Bears fan and have always "hated" this guy, but lately I've been watching interviews with him (His interview with Pardon My Take / Big Cat is amazing, I highly recommend watching it) and he's honestly started to win me over a bit.  I love that he came out and spoke about taking ayahuasca.  As someone whos "heard stories" of taking psychedelic's, it can absolutely open your mind in a way of helping to self improve.  Not to mention there's some serious health benefits that are starting to really come in to the mainstream view, and good on him for breaking down barriers in that sense.  

So is the entry fee set at .0025? I will pay as soon as that's confirmed, I just don't remember seeing any posts clarifying that nor do I see it in the PM message from Direwolf.

9th pick..of course. I literally never ever get a top 3-4 pick and I have been playing for 15+ years now and normally play between 3-5 leagues a year.  How were picks chosen, I think someone mentioned they were going to use the blockchain to do so?  Sorry I should know some of this stuff but have limited time to review past posts atm...new job, work has been insane.

@Hueristic .. Jimmy G would be a perfect fit in Seattle, and the deal would probably be done now if they weren't in the same division..which is why they won't trade him to them.  There's a bunch of jimmy g and the niners "bluffing" headlines in the news these past two days I've been meaning to read in to but just been too busy..curious to see what's going on w/all of that.

Looking forward to drafting!!!  

I'm not sure if the schedule will change when I change the draft order.

Either way I'm itching to get my team and goto war!

I sent out my entry fee to the escrow address provided by DireWolfM14, but happened to notice that only 4-5 people have paid so far. It would be ideal if everyone can send their entry fees in time before the draft, plenty of time still.

Missed not only weeks 1 and 2 of preseason but all the surrounding news/rankings etc..., i have to get my shit together before the draft so Barbarians don't kick my ass in week 1. 

Saylor Jerkers is mine. It was Saylor Mooners, however, it is a bear market. I decided to change it to jerkers from the cryptocommunity term circle jerk hehehe. It would certainly need a very large amount of circle jerking to help and support each other mentally and make ourselves hodl through another 2 years of a bear market.

Is that the draft order?  And yep that's muh squad Eli 2 vs Brady 0.  Suck it Brady.  He forever has to go down as the best quarterback ever but got punked anytime he seen the giants in the superbowl lol. 

Hahahaha!  I'd say that's a pretty good guess.

morvillz7z was Taco Corp last year, so I'd say that's a good guess too.


Is there someone among us who thinks Michael Saylor is not a jerkoff?

Show of hands, please...

 

I LOL'd

Taco Corpse... also a strong name.

Sure, I am the Bombay Bengals.. for now... 

Wouldn't be the dumbest thing they ever did!


OK so 2 people have not joined the league yet, everyone want to post the name of your team so I can keep track.
Also I made the league public viewable in case anyone wants to share the link while its running.
