He would put Hoochie 1, Bluth 2

I got Chris. The Chris email is in.

S&H I’m going to ask you to stay in a holding pattern with your 1-2 new potentials for the moment. Curly if your guy is in please have him look at hoochie and bluth and tell me which team he prefers. If there is a conflict we will figure out a fair way to figure out who gets what team
-
Alton messaged me saying he is still in… I’m on the mountaintop and the mobile site sucks so I can’t tell if his team has been renewed or not. Bluth and hoochie are officially out and are the only two available teams. Tanker, which one of your guys are in?
-
The Mayor has renewed his team and is in for the upcoming season. As we are brothers, we both missed the cut deadline and are asking for a little forgiveness from the league.

I also have another 1-2 people - not the previous 2 who reneged - who are interested. I've told them that there may not be available teams at the moment now, but should any other new managers fall through we've got some additional alternates.
-
Update:
One of my potential owners is feeling the intimidation factor of Ottoneu's awesomeness. So, I only have one.
What else is new, right?
I will clarify with the commissioner, and stop searching ( and stop messaging), but do still have 1 guy ready to step-up for the season ahead as previously mentioned.

Couple of things for the league. I texted my brother, The Mayor and am waiting to hear back about his intentions for this season. Also, I have asked the commish to cut Mikolas, M. Kelley, Vientos and Turang as long as no one objects. Once again, my apologies for missing the cut deadline.

In case anyone is confused Tanker reached out with a second person who is in (in addition to his brother mentioned above), Curly has the one mentioned above, and Nard Pups also has a potential interested person. Again fantastic work boys. I'm heading to Breckenridge for the week tomorrow so I'll be less responsive than normal, but all messages and board posts go to my email so I'll try my best to get back to everyone tomorrow evening.
-
Hey guys, everyone is doing great filling holes in the league. Lets keep all posts on the league board. Not only will this be more transparent but it will help me keep track of who said they were in when because as of now we have 4 potential new guys and the Mayor may or may not return. So lets pump the brakes on any more new teams. For those already mentioned I will try to have new teams assigned within 2-3 days provided everyone has sent me the new guys #1-4 team preferences to take over. thx
-
I’ve got someone that will join. He’s new to ottoneu but is in a keeper league with S&H and myself that is similar to ottoneu for lazy people.
-
Put my brother in for one.
It's blood now

No not yet but I didn't want to do anything without 1) making sure the people who we think are out are actually out and 2) giving first dibs to people with connections to the league such as S&H or Nard Pups friends, or even the people in your other league. I agree we should post soon for any teams we have left but I will give another day or two for all 3 of you (or anyone else making similar efforts) to get your people in first.
-
I put out an inquiry of interest in my other league. Have we posted on the Ottoneu Board?

Also tell the one guy we are in a pinch. Hes wavering so he's in if you push him, lol. And we have 4 teams to fill which is a really tall task. Nard Pups just told me he might have a guy but that would still leave two. If I hadn't convinced Bluth to come back last year we might not have been able to draft.
-
In all seriousness try to make a push. We all didn't know what this was going to be like until we tried it and we all love it now. My other league came over from roto and there was huge resistance - now they all absolutely love it and theres no going back for them. The structure makes it the best dynasty format imo. I will say in light of this though, that all teams that are available are open to whoever is willing to join on a first come first serve basis.
-
C'mon straight and habanero... employ every tactic at your disposal. Charm, wit, psychology! Tell them how great it is. Tell them just to give it a try, they may fall in love with it just like you did. Tell them it is basically roto but you get just get points for stats - basically the same in the end. Tell them its actually refreshing that one good week by a shitty team can't hurt you. Tell them they are pussies if they don't. Whatever it takes, lol.
-
So tough news on the new joiner front, both the interested parties are big roto guys and they balked and withdrew after looking at our scoring and auction setup. One said he might reconsider if we’re in a pinch to fill teams but for the moment I think we’ll need to look elsewhere. Sorry for the false start.
-
Thanks Clayton/ Levy.
Appreciated.

Bluth is officially out so we will definitely have 2 teams for your friends S&H. My suggestion is have them look at those teams as well as Alton and the Mayor's teams. Then they can designate their preferences from 1st to 4th. If their top two choices are Bluth and Hoochie Mama then we can take care of this right away. If not we'll give one more day for Alton and the Mayor to reach out.
-
As far as procedure I think I will just need their email and will send once we confirm which team they are taking over.
-
That is fantastic news Mr. Habanero! I'd like to give 24-48 hours for everyone to hopefully see and respond to my email but I will make sure to talk to you before abandoning any teams - your boys have dibs and as far as which team they get I'll leave it to you/them to decide who gets what. Perhaps a bare knuckle boxing match or coin flip? lol
-
I have 2 people interested in joining, it looks like we might only need 2 to replace Bluth and Hoochie? The two interested parties are new to Ottoneu but seasoned fantasy vets, so I'm not sure what the transfer procedure would look like.
-
That's great to hear. Not a huge deal at this exact moment but we really need to get them back and in compliance as soon as possible.
-
I believe Alton and perhaps another will return. Might be unavoidably distracted by unfantasy things. But a Hoochie replacement for sure.

Go Nads - in an attempt to keep this fair get me your cuts asap please.
-
Just sent an email to the league. Oddly enough Alton, Bluth, and the Mayor have all visited the site in the last couple weeks. Maybe they just missed the deadline and plan on coming back. Heres hoping...
-
If anyone knows Alton or the Mayor please reach out to them asap. I'm assuming Bluth is out based on barely getting him back last year so we are currently looking at getting 4 teams replaced if they are all out (Hoochie posted on the board that he was not returning).
-
I just sent an email requesting to be made commissioner. If anyone knows anyone who might want to play it would really help. There are a lot of open spots on the "manager wanted" help board.
-
To me the most important thing is getting these teams officially abandoned so they show up as available to people looking to take over teams. The sooner the more likely we'll get people to take them over. But only the commish can do that.
-
Happy for Levi to run with it. If the teams are good and they are on the available teams page and people can see us talking on the league page I think they should get scooped up

I do not know Alton Giants, but support Levy for commissions or anulyone who wants it.
We have to post a decent plea for owners.
The teams are all pretty good, I think.

Honestly if we have to replace 3-4 teams IDK how we are gonna do that unless we get lucky.
-
And dont care about Go Nads cutting a couple guys.
-
Pretty sure I can write to Niv and ask to be made commissioner (unless someone else wants it). But please, for the love of god, who knows Alton Giants? I'm pretty sure multiple people do...
-
I'm fine with it but it also seems we have no commissioner now so not sure how to resolve that

Hey all. I f’d up and missed the cut deadline. No big story, just having dinner with my kid and fell asleep watching a movie. Would anyone be opposed to the commish cutting Mikolas and Kelley so I can get to 39 players and participate in the draft? I understand if not. Apologies for not handling my business properly.

Who knows the commish? Doesn't seem like hes playing anymore. Cut deadline is tonight.

waited a long time to shake this league up with that Bassitt trade.
Anybody wants to trade lemme know.
Who's in?

I just re-upped for the year. 2023 resolution is to be more attentive to fantasy baseball!!!
-
Haven't seen the commish post in a while. I know a few of you keep in touch - we really should abandon teams like HoochieMama asap to give outsiders a chance to join the league before the cut deadline. Even though late joiners get a free round of cuts people may only want to join teams prior so we widen our potential player pool if we get proactive now.
-
Guys, sorry for the late notice. I won't be returning this year.
-
One thing that I think would help would be premptively "abandoning" the teams that are not coming back so they show up as available to others looking to join a league. I believe that has to be done by the commissioner... I'll try to confirm but I don't think Hoochie Mama or league original Bluth Company will be returning.
-
I will take the opportunity to say that my team will be back. I know there is a big board to post for openings on Ottoneu, if we have them. Thanks for keeping the coals burning

Sorry to hijack your trade pitch Mr. Nads but you reminded me that we really need to try to get ahead of 2-3 teams that are probably leaving this year. If we don't have 12 on draft day we wont draft and could precipitate the league falling off for good. My team is set up to win the next 2-3 seasons and I could use the extra income..... hahaha use that motivation fellas come get me!
-
I’m going to be cutting Mikolas, Bassitt and Kelley. If you like them at the price they are and don’t want to try to win the bid during the draft, let me know. I could use a little OF help.

Only 6 teams participated in Arb voting this year not a great sign... I fear we will lose Bluth and Hoochie Mama so finding a couple replacements early is probably a good idea.
-
Congrats Levy, a dominant win!
-
Thank you, sir! Three seasons of rebuild have to pay off eventually lol. Let's all make the draft next year eh?
