You do a great job commish, but would appreciate if these kinds of issues were addressed/deadlines communicated ahead of time and not retroactively. Frankly, I think all teams should have been required to commit to this season and pay-up by the arb deadline so we wouldn't be faced with this issue so late in the offseason.

Regardless, we have other unpaid owners who go months without even logging in to either complete basic league activities (like arb) or respond to trade requests, etc. Are we undoing all their transactions this offseason at the same time we’re undoing new-Mudhen’s? His transactions were made in good faith and his deadline to pay should be the same as everyone else’s.

Recognizing that I have a vested interest in this issue with my trade, I don’t think we should be so hasty here and risk running an experienced Otto player out of our league just because he didn’t know that he was required to pay upon entry. Why should be held to a different standard than everyone else? Like did Billionaire Boys pay immediately before they made all the trades in their first week?

We're at 7 paid. Looking for our new Mudhen's owner to commit and I've reached out to HB Sharks again and then we have 3 more managers in here to re-up for this great league!

MudhensII owner. Thanks for joining but please pay ASAP. Ive already asked NIV about this type of scenario of managers joining and making moves before paying. We’d love to have you but we need you to be all in. teams trading with the new Mudhens owner please be forewarned that i will have to reverse these trades (and drops) if we dont have a payment before trades process

Welcome to the league! Having said that, I hope the new owner paid first this late in the offseason before making trades.

Is Mudhens II in?

thanks Manfred, we're up to 5 paid

Join league will be newly formed leagues. Claim teams are for existing. the Managers wanted often is for claims/teams not abandoned but can be for abandoned teams. I run a bunch of yahoo leagues and am confident we can pull folks over to take over teams. But, i'm more worried about the 9 existing teams that haven't paid. Are we all paying on 1/31? I've told the folks that run Ottoneu (Niv) that teams shouldn't be able to cut/trade unless they've paid...and that should be our rule....

I see our vacancy posted here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams, but I didn’t even know this page existed before El Prez split, so maybe post to the below boards as well? If I were looking to join a league, this is likely where I’d start:
https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/joinleague
https://community.ottoneu.com/c/managers-wanted/12
Someone also posted on this board recently whose prefs seem to align with our setup: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/avail

What happens if no one claims Mudhens and/or we have owners that aren’t paid up by 1/31?

i just checked and it's there (at the very bottom of teams available to be claimed). There's not a ton, maybe 60 but most are in the $20 tier

Let's get those payments in, deadline is 1/31. Then we can move to setting a draft date/time.

Ugh, I forgot you drove on the left too in the land of sheep.

I'm scared to find out which is the depraved part of the other's psyche. Or is it like the movie Identity? We are certainly two people, one several time zones ahead of the other, who uses the metric system and drives on the left.
-
Thankfully, we definitely are.

I really do hope the Bottlejobs are in fact two people.

I might want a divorce from all of your lies. Plus, I keep telling you to stop using your dumb metric system! We don't do that over here. Now, go churn me 8 ounces of butter!

...more like (overseas) bad cop and worse cop that can't be within 200m of schools.

well, maybe I can't freeze it like i can in yahoo...but we'll do a soft freeze and ask for payment before cuts.

PS Mudhen's team is frozen so we don't get drops before we have a team committed to taking over (i.e payment)

We're really both a couple of nice blokes where one of us lives in the future who struggles with US time and US money and the other one goes on questionable traveling adventures who might need a backup owner at times. One of us thinks we always have too many prospects and one thinks we never have enough. We just tolerate each other more than anything else like a married couple stuck in its ways usually does.

Too bad we can't tell which Manager is posting what? maybe that's something we should ask Niv about?
-
Says the guy that offered Stephenson and Mauricio to me for Devers last week... I offered better than that this here, which is why I handle trade offers! Please go back into your hole.
-
I would apologise for Ben and his trade offers - just know that I play against him in another league and suffer those offers too
-
(Co-owner escaped from his cage) That $250 league was very... people only playing with their friends. The quality of owners did not match the buy in.
-
I emailed Pepperchet and he said the "year round" baseball thing was too much for him so i'm abandoning his team ("mudhens") in case any of you want to send a friend to the team marketplace to pick it up. payment deadline is 60 days out!

I'm in $100/$75/$50 Ottoneu leagues and I don't really see a difference in terms of involvement (in those three leagues)....but I have some crossover managers between leagues too

Thank you very much for the compliment. We've actually played in the first $250 Ottoneu league. While owners were more engaged than your average league, I personally (maybe my co-owner will escape from his cage and disagree) didn't find much more movement of players and there were still teams that kinda checked out for periods when their seasons went south in a FGPTS league. Hope that helps.
-
Has anyone played in any higher entry fee leagues than this? If so, what was the activity like? Assume higher entries = more activity, but would love to hear from someone who can confirm.

I think we can all agree that it's a lot more fun for everyone when owners actually participate in league activities and engage/respond promptly. I think we have a sufficiently active core here, but hope we can up the standard going forward. You Spicy/Billionaire Boys have been a welcome addition to the league and appreciate that you've been stoking the hot stove this week.

Mudhens is just really bad at checking fantasy email/chat and figuring out arbitration. I'm pretty sure he'll be back. But trading may not be his forte (unfortunately)

We were just looking at teams to see if there was any possibilities of additional moves at this time. Is it safe to assume that Mudhens and RB Sharks are basically done? I figure the former practically is since that team hasn't been online in about three months.

Gotcha makes sense to not want to change anything. All good here

Also agree with Dine-Nasty that any major rule changes should be discussed and agreed upon way, way in advance as rosters are built around current rules.

I understand the frustration, Manfred... as was having 3 "aces" going on the same day and being forced to sit one, but that's part of the strategy. I specifically chose this league because it was set to 2 SP/day instead of caps and built my entire roster and strategy around this rule from the jump, so I'd be opposed to changing that aspect. It's a foundational league rule on the same level as H2H and FG pts. scoring.

And just to be clear here, the 14 starts I referred to is our keeping the 2 GS per day max (it just works out to 14 starts if everything lines up for the 7 day week). There is no 14 GS option. It's either 10 GS (you could start up to 5 on one day) or else, the 2 SP per day max (which can give you up to 14 starts)

Personally... I am new to this Game (ottoneu), as well as the scoring system... so I'd rather we put off any rule changes until after season 2... unless there is a perceived major flaw. I feel like we all signed up for this just a few months ago, and should have been aware of what we were signing up for. I'm open to discussing future rule changes... but don't think they should be reflected for season 2.
-
Well we can do 14 weekly cap. I just didn't like when Id have 5 starters all on Wednesday and my opponent had 2 Wednesday 2 Thursday. Technically I had more guys playing real games but he got the advantage just because his guys were spaced out. It's something we cant control is all
