I'm down for a new league name, something that reflects we are in perennial top 10 League balanced with something that makes also hints we don't take ourselves that seriously.
-
Naw, I've experienced collusion within ottoneu before, practically only two outsiders among the league's real life circle, none of them were the commish. We still have a majority core of OG members.
-
I subscribe to that unwritten policy, I learned the good practice from another older and competitive league. New managers can lay claim to an abandon team, however one should renew prior to trades. I would go even further for any type of transactions including "cuts", but that's just me.
-
Well that was fast. Welcome! Active fanatics fit in just perfectly here. 5IS, I'll second WD's comment and thanks for the disclosure!
-
A) I'm down with 5IS' friend taking over a team. I accept their representation that said friend would be independent. B) I don't know if we need to make a requirement for new teams (seems antagonistic?). We've had several teams abandoned and claimed through the course of this league and no problem like BOI is describing. That said, I noticed some note from Niv saying you can get blocked from claiming if you claim teams and then quickly abandon them, so maybe it is a thing?

Hello everybody. Looks like the previous owner no longer has the time to be competitive. Active fantasy fanatic looking for more fun. Will change team name and update trade block soon.
-
Second, I was previously in a league that had an abandoned team claimed by somebody who quickly made like a half dozen trades and then bolted. It left the league split on what to do. Bottom line was that it sucked. Let me know if anybody has a problem with requiring new managers to pay for the season before being allowed to make trades. Thanks all!
-
While we're at it, there are a couple items we should cover. First, is there anybody else not planning to return? If so, the sooner you can let us know, the better. Right now, half the league has already renewed for the upcoming season which is great.
-
Assuming your friend wants to win, I'd think the risk of collusion is pretty low. I say invite him!
-
One of us has a guy that'd be interested in taking over a team. He's crazy about fantasy baseball...but I'd fear you guys would expect collusion. So if you don't want him that's fine.
-
Ha Jeets. Best wishes to Danks and AA. In the spirit of moving forward into the post-Danks era shall we consider renaming the league? I'm not clever enough, so feel free to share any suggestions.

Down a good commish. I for one welcome our new (sole) overlord - BOI

Future Post Hype Sleeper Wasteland's trade block has been updated!
-
Well that is unfortunate. ☹️
-
(I stand corrected, I believe I can abandon my own team, so need for you to do anything Bunch of Idiots)
-
Good luck to everyone, hope you enjoy the White Sox's 60 win season this year!
-
Bunch of Idiots, if you could abandon my team so another owner can come in, I would appreciate it. I am not able to do it myself as commissioner. Also, Avisailing Away messaged me to say that he would like to abandon his team due to time issues (the initial impetus for me making a similar decision)...I will abandon that team before leaving.
-
Everyone, it has been a blast, but between running my own business and a 1 and 4 year old, I do not have the time to devote to this league/team that is necessary to be a productive team owner. WIth that said, I am going to give up my team, and want to do it now (prior to the draft and cuts) to allow whomever takes over to have as much flexibility as possible. t was a pleasure meeting all of you, good luck to everyone in this league and life alike! -Danksforallthefish

Right on. Also, you can double check on the FG player pages. Under the fielding stats it lists how many games someone has played and started at each position.

It's updated already I believe, they had the projected positions on each player page last year as well. I don't see that on the player pages anymore so that must get removed when the positions update.

When do we normally know the position eligibility for next year? Is it updated?

FWIW at this point, I am against the 5 milb thing. We already own something like 50-75% of the top 100 prospects at any given time. Adding 5 per team gets us way past the top 100. I think our league is deep enough as is. And does it really add much to the experience for us to get that deep? I mean, is it going to be anything other than a total crapshoot as to who hits on a prospect who emerges from this taxi squad, or whatever it is

Do teams with two owners get two votes?
-
Seems like a interesting concept but I'm sure it's going increase the already large time commitment this type of league takes. I'm not going to leave or anything if we decide to do it but would like to vote against it.

Great. It's decided then! Oh wait, how many votes do we need to decide how many votes we need? :p

We just had major drama in my SABR points league for that exact reason. I think the league is great the way it is and I'm also up for interesting twists. But I do think the VAST MAJORITY should want like a new rule for it to go into affect. Maybe 9 votes? with everyone voting.

I think 2/3 is a strong enough majority but would understand if 3/4 was preferred. I also think teams should be allowed to abstain if they don't feel strongly
-
Rule changes are a pretty big deal and we're all paying to play so I'm not convinced 7 votes is enough. That would leave 5 unhappy managers that we want to keep here. I could probably be swayed in the other direction, but think I'm leaning to something more than a simple majority. Thoughts?

Before we decide on this I think we should decide how we make rule changes as a league in general. I personally can't stand leagues where commissioners dictate rules. I'm for league votes. So as a co-commish, I'm dictating I don't have dictating power:) Question is, how many votes is appropriate to change a league rule? A consensus? A majority? Somewhere in between? I think this should be our first vote!

Right. We ruled out changes for the upcoming season as some of us would have made trades differently had we known. The dialogue is very much open to put it in place for the '18 season though.

I think the consensus was for the 5 MiLB but we would wait until next year if we were to adopt

hey, Are we doing 5 milb Andor do we have a slack channel for this league?
