Nothing sketchy here. Going to get the neglected squad ready for the auction. Participate in the auction, then leave the team in decent shape for the next owner that takes over. I get to build a team in 48 hours and the rest of the league gets to compete against a full array of teams rather than having one sit unattended.
-
its not a money league so do what you gotta do i guess
-
lol that doesnt sound sketchy at all
-
If you have any questions, please ask.

I have some good news, and I have some weird news. The good news is that the excellent Ottoneu player 5TOOLER has volunteered to make the cuts and do the draft for Steroid Users. To make this happen, I had to create a second account, claim the team and make 5TOOLER the co-manager. I will not make any moves of any kind with Steroid Users. After tomorrow's draft, the team will revert to being open for a new manager, although the new manager will not have to pay 2023 fees.

interesting. hopefully they're aware before the claim..either way the 23rd works for me.
-
We will not wait for the last team to get claimed. Unless we want to lock it for the year, it will be available to be claimed after the draft. I have seen many cases where one team does not draft and has to make do for the following year. I have played those teams myself. It’s a rebuilding year. In this case, the rest of the league has to be aware that some of those expensive players may suddenly come on the market following cuts. Let’s hope someone claims the team before the dream.

are we going to wait until the last team gets claimed or just go with 11 teams? roster has some good pieces but also over the cap
-
I have set the draft for Thursday, February 23 at 8 PM eastern. If anyone has any problems, let me know ASAP.

There have six responses to the Doodle poll, although one response only only checked off the first choice. The first choice, next Thursday, February 23 at 8 PM eastern has been checked off by everyone who did the poll. The timelines are tight if we select that date. We have four teams that haven’t participated in the poll. It’s unlikely we will fill the open that quickly. Thoughts? Suggestions?

There does not seem to be any enthusiasm for a slow draft, so please fill out this doodle poll ASAP for available times for a regular draft: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/eEqppE4e. We are still down one owner. We have to decide what we want to do with the team if an owner does not claim before the draft. Our options are to leave the team open after the draft and hope an owner claims the team afterwards or lock the team until after the season. Thoughts?

either style of draft is fine with me
-
We have one team to fill, and then I will send out a poll. Is there any interest in a slow draft on couchmanagers?

February and first two weeks of March work best for me

Draft day?

Hey there. I’m taking over the team that was abandoned. I’ll have the roster up to date shortly. I’m looking forward to the season.

Welcome to the new owner of the Dukes of Stratosphear. You have one round of penalty free cuts. If you have any questions, please ask me.

As promised, the Dukes and Deep Drive are now abandonned. I am waiting for some response from I Love Steroid Users. If you know anyone who wants a team...

Hot Corner is correct that the teams will fill. The league is fine. Unless I hear an objection tonight, they will be abandoned first thing tomorrow.

The platform will abandon them over the next day or two. I say just do it now. The teams will get picked up at some point. I have played Ottoneu for many years. There will a long list of teams available once the non-payers get processed but it is rare that leagues do not fill. Takes time but they fill.
-
I think those teams need to be in a position, to be opened up, for acquisition by someone else. I'm fairly new to Ottoneu but allowing those teams to be picked up by an active manager should be the goal. Forgive me is that is already in motion. Otherwise, it sounds like the league has a chance to fold... the real question is... What would Tom Cruise do !!??!!??!!
-
I would vote yes. We need to have active league members
-
As I wrote, those teams could be marked as abandonned. Is that the what the league wants?

can you kick them out? the teams are not listed on the "available teams to claim"
-
Yes. Deep Drive and Dukes haven't logged into the system since the start of the year. We could simply abandon those teams. The Steroid User Lover logged into the system four days ago. He needs to be contacted about his intentions. We need eleven teams to go to auction.

do you need help finding new owners? what happens if we don't have 12 teams?
-
Sam Is a Wanderer has just let me know he will not be renewing. I have marked the team as abandonned. If you know anyone who wants a team, direct them to the claim teams page. We still have five other teams that have not renewed. The deadline is Tuesday at midnight.

Welcome to our new owner Just a Bit Outside. Thank you for joining and good luck.
Eight of twelve teams have not yet renewed. If you are not renewing, please let me know ASAP. If you are renewing, the deadline is next Tuesday, January 31 at midnight.

Hi All. Apologies for being quieter than normal this off-season, but work has been 24/7. I am definitely looking forward to season and will get paid up by the weekend. I will update my trade block over the next day or so to see I can get nay trades done in the last week.
-
Thanks New Commish!!!!
-
Because I’m a masochist, I’ve taken on the commissioner role. We have a team that needs to be filled and a draft date to determine. If there is someone else who is going to drop out, please let me know. I will put a poll for a draft date as soon as we have a solid set of owners.

First time I have ever questioned a trade. One team added a ton of surplus value (Papi) and the other team took on a ton of excess salary. Which goes completely against Ottoneu economics. It makes no sense to me. Papi; you're a veteran owner - please help me understand this trade.

ok, well I'm sure you will figure it out, contact Niv to name a commish...I'm out.
-
Someone needs to step up for the commish role
-
I will stay long enough to make someone commish
-
I'm sorry guys but after 5 years in this league I am abandoning my team to take over a team in a league where I can win $..you need to find someone to volunteer to be commish. good luck
-
I will get my done on time. No worries.
-
Only 3 teams left that need to do their arbitration

Thanks, happy to join
