Also, not having access to a computer can make these things hard owever, since everyone seemed to want the players gone, I suppose there's nothing that should be done about it anyhow, just didn't feel like it was fair
-
to bid on the players auctioned there. The only difference was I didn't even know they were being auctioned. Everyone knew about the draft ..
-
iDunn, just a quick word: saying I had every opportunity to bid on those players again is like saying everyone that wasn't in the draft after 1 am had every opportunity
-
Let's just stop arguing, play it straight from here, and if something else comes up, be up-front and communicate well. Best of luck.
-
And I feel like just about every team has had something break against them now (missing draft, the returning players, not seeing auctions, etc.)
-
It's baseball, stuff changes quickly and it's not at all impossible to build a great team from any number of starting points.
-
And action's already been taken. Unless we all suddenly agreed to reverse course, there's little we can or should do about it now.
-
As far as the returning players, I don't really have much to add. Seems like it's already been hashed out.
-
But whatever, I'm not going to complain. But let's have better communication going forward.
-
I didn't get any emails/messages. Except one from Dunn just now.
-
You had every opportunity to bid on those players again and chose not to. case closed. Paper you also caused someone to quit. Stop whining and either play or quit.
-
If you go back through the board messages you can see that there were more than a couple of days of discussion on the matter.
-
I'm pretty much just along for the ride man but if I'm not mistaken a lot of the dudes on here were sending you a ton of messages when all of the drama was going down and getting no response. May be that the email system broke down or something.
-
But whatever, I guess we just go from here. There's been enough turmoil.
-
Absolutely ridiculous.
-
There's a co-commissioner, auctions, and new teams, and nobody even bothered to tell me?
-
So I have to ask...why was I not notified of ANY of this? Since I'm the one who started the league and all...
-
I think it's only fair that I can get them back for +1 the auctioned price at the very least
-
Don't want to make a fuss, but I get really frustrated when my draft strategy gets blown up because my players were stripped from me for imo bad reasons and my computer was broken so I couldn't even auction to get them back.
-
PaperwinsChampionships's trading block has been updated!
-
Also, may I note that most of these guys went for about the exact same price they did in the draft so this just makes absolutely no sense. Same steals different people + more unfair
-
What the fuck guys? I wasn't even here for the auctions since my computer died. Trying to decide if I'm even going to bother to stick around
-
Lineups: In case I wasn't the only one who forgot, make sure to set your lineups, as the Roster Organizer will not automatically transfer them over.
-
Please don't pick up any of the recent cuts as a waiver claim. They must go to the auction process. Thanks
-
all auction cuts are complete, Niv has been notified and your $$cap hits should be returned soon. thanks to all for cutting most of the players, you guys made this alot easier.
-
Wow. Have to say I'm glad he left. Bummer there was such confusion but he didn't deal with it real well. I got up this morning at 2 am (alaska time) to listen to the M's vs A's game (a game SEA can actually win!). So far 1-1 in the 5th, Ackley HR.
-
Welcome aboard!

Hey all... I just read the message board. I claimed Scissors Beats Paper after previous owner dropped 'em. So I'm not that guy who was getting all ticked off. Looks like this will be a project... I am also new to Ottoneu.

Attention all player that are about to be cut are not eligible for waivers claims. Please let them pass. You can put them up for auction 24 hours after they are cut.
-
Those of you that do not return those players, by 3/28, I will do it as commissioner. I am sorry that it had to come to this, but it was a fair compromise to those that were unable to take advantage of the auction being left on for over 12 hours.
-
Once all players drafted after 1am have been cut, Niv will correct the cap penalties and return your cap $$
-
Attention all, those of you that have not cut players drafted after 1am, please do so now. Niv agrees with the majority of us that thought it was fair to throw the players back. He has made me a co-commissioner to try to straighten this problem out.
-
Cool. Just noticed that you are in as co commissioner now.
-
I'm in contact w Niv, problems will be corrected soon and cap $$ returned. If u haven't done so please cut anyone drafted after 1am
-
Yeah there has been no word from commish on whether or not it'll get rectified. It's not killin me right now but I can ser that some of us are clearly stuck till it gets fixed.
-
I'm definitely fine with the dropping/auction method, but have we figured out a way to cure everyone's cap penalties?

My issue right now continues to be the fact that I am unable to make any moves until my penalties are cleared. I have two trade offers and I cannot even view them.
-
On that note I still have cap penalties for 3 of my guys that I cut. I'm ok with eating those costs but in the case of Dom Brown I figured I was doing everyone a favor and just putting him back up for auction. Didn't think I was claiming him
-
I'm new to ottoneu so I wasn't sure on the whole auction process but it seems like most of these late pickups are going for $1 or close anyway. Just gives everyone a chance to jump in.
-
Yeah I mean I logged on the morning after and saw that it was still running so I drafted a couple dudes that I figured would go for $1 anyway but I went ahead and cut them when I realized there was probably another way to do it more properly.
-
I personally don't agree with this but I'm dropping a 3rd of the suspect players and would be happy to return Quentin to imo the rightful owner
-
Yea, I was wondering why people did that tbh, but now i understand. I also never really drafted in an empty room and never made consecutive picks like some of the others
-
But because it wasn't discussed I see your point also. Not necessarily what I would do since this is really just a game but it's all good I'll still be playing.
-
It wasn't necessarily discussed but I think the frustration stems because most of us agreed to make the cuts and that it probably was a little suspect drafting $1 players in an empty room.
-
knew you were missing out on some good players. It's sad that you guys would make a fuss about an opportunity you chose to miss out on. It's sad that you'd rather complain than acknowledge that your choice to not participate in the full draft hurt ur team
-
Scissors, I'm sorry you feel that way. I wish you said something before, during the draft, when you left or something if you thought the draft should not continue, I just assumed that all you people left because you were fine with the players you had and
-
take the cap penalty. If not, thank you for wasting my time ....
-
It's a draft: you're not there, you lose out. That simple. Unless we discuss and mutually agree that the draft shouldn't continue, then I see no problem. If you can explain a good reason why my drafting was illegitimate I will happily drop my players and
-
Quit complaining that because you weren't there during the draft that it was taking advantage if not *cheating* to just continue drafting like we had been doing
-
And my 4th reason is this: the commisioner came in, chatted with him, acting like everything was fine and said absolutely nothing about any problem AND left the draft open!!!
