I would prefer to do it a little later as well

2021 Season Expected To Start On Time

Im also in favor of doing it later. There’s a lot of talk of postponing the season at this point and until an opening day is finalized... As much as I would love the distraction, I’d vote for waiting till the two parties can get their crap together (yet again)

I'm in favor of doing it a little bit later so everyone has time to do their homework if there's a late flurry of trades/cuts, but early/mid February still sounds good. What if we push back a week to the 9th?
-
I can do it.
-
Good by me!
-
I proposed an early draft date, please let me know feedback on if you can make it and we can adjust
-
I’d lean towards drafting sooner since that will allow us the shortest blackout window for trades
-
I’m flexible to whenever. Not much going on these days anyhow
-
Great question , any opinions on doing draft later with possible delay or sooner? I’m flexible either way
-
when are we drafting! I should be able to make it this time- no mardi gras due to the 'rona
-
Should be interesting!

Y'all excited for rule 5 day?
-
Hey everyone I am trying to properly consider trades but also got a lot of balls in the air IRL right now. If you gotta move on I understand.
-
Sorry about the dupe offers, everybody. I guess I had a bunch of old offers open in tabs on my phone and send them all somehow. Thankfully they were all just as bad the second time around. Except Pratt’s something for nothing. That was still a great offer.
-
I cancelled the trade , this case was pretty clear. Please be careful going forward. Look forward to offseason!
-
Too soon? LOL. I can’t fucking wait for 2021 let’s have some fun fellas
-
Were representatives from both parties able to observe the negotiation?
-
If we are being honest jansen has literally zero value in my eyes, so I actually thought it was a fair trade

Imagine being a complete and total jerkoff loser.
-
Imagine making a post trying to make me look like the bad guy because you sent me an offer and I accepted it

Hi, guys. I thought I requested a player in that trade. Obviously I wouldn’t offer a closer for nothing in return. If someone offered that to me, I’d have messaged them to ask what’s up. Pratt accepted. I’m asking you to VETO.
-
Sending a reminder on Arb, last day is this Saturday. Look forward to the off-season!
-
Congrats, well earned! Undone by 1 win in my last 50ish IP. Looking forward to arb
-
Well, Matt. Well fought, but I’m proud to have taken it by a nose. Congrats to me.
Great season, everyone. Looking forward to defending this crown. See you in arbitration.
-
So brave, truly an inspiration <3
-
Great season Viva, great competition this year!
-
I’d like to take this opportunity to publicly accept defeat. I willfully acknowledge that I came up short in 2020 for no reason other than my own inferior roster construction. I refuse to cry foul, stump for radical rule changes or otherwise stomp my feet like a little bitch. I will just have to do better next year. Congratulations to Matt, Larry and Clogging on their winning seasons. PS - Epstein still didn’t kill himself
-
Agreed! Now let’s crawl to the end of this dumpster fire and have another insane offseason.
-
Thanks, Clogging.
It’s definitely been a fun distraction during a very uncertain time. The league is very active which makes me optimistic for our league’s future. ¡No gambol no future!
PS - Please let the record show that I punted my way into contention. Oops
-
Agreed, Clogging, great competitive year! Thanks all and good luck with down the stretch!
-
Ten days out, just want to thank everyone for their commitment to this league and offering at least some semblance of normalcy in a crazy year. And to Matt, Larry Walker, and Viva - best of luck the rest of the way!
-
Closers and more available
-
I just got home from working and trying to play catch up. IMO Ottonue needs to do a better job defining rules. It seems absurd we keep voting on different rules and or penalties as things come up or rely on gentlemanly behavior. I never have this issue with any other leagues (yahoo/espn) I am involved with and believe it is a flaw in the Ottonue system to have leagues "self regulate." Going forward, I support the 3 day rule, is that getting locked in or do more people need to vote?

Self regulation has not failed because intent or circumstance were always within reason. This is not. Nothing has been abused historically, it's been at most neglected circumstantially because the gain of the violation was negligible and the bounds were within standard limitations and assumed life circumstances. This is an egregious rule violation with designed intent and your support of it not the least bit surprising.
-
My opinion has been made. I would say get Niv involved if you’re not happy because it’s not as straightforward as “get legal”. The system has been abused historically (not just for vacations - spring training workarounds and other circumstances), Pratt sunk 100$ this year, obviously not anticipating the league would get this aggravated. If it disbands he’s given us all a free chance at his money. Some punishment has already been made, trying to find a happy middle and lock in a future rule.
-
Literally not mad at all. Im sitting here laughing at you
-
Right. Simple fix, follow the rules bro. Sorry you're mad though
-
You guys are so pathetic. You call everything collusion because youre so fucking shitty at the game you rationalize it by pretending there is collusion and that's why you can't compete. Also joe buck yourself said me and larry Walker were colluding. I must be colluding with everyone!!
-
Get Pratt legal or get Niv involved please. I'll happily allow 48 hours.
-
I'm not attempting to strategically hoard players at the moment, but we may as well use this innocent example to set the terms moving forward so someone doesn't win 20 auctions before seasons end to sit on trade bait and maximize chance of windfall type moves. We either acknowledge and allow this, giving us all a chance to out bid said player. Or we outright deny it, and force cuts in reverse order as they were added to maintain legal standing after a certain amount of time.
-
Matt, you do not overrule Otto rules. This is indeed a 'clown' decision. You can't permit a league member to override clearly defined standards. You also did not "raise it." It was raised and you asked for discussion. Also, this league has already lost a quality member (JBY) due to your suspected collusion with Pratt. For what it's worth, this was my response to your raised issue:
-
Jesus, you're a bunch of clowns. "A measure of good faith?" What good faith? That was a completely trashy, classless thing to do, and it sure as sh!t wasn't done in good faith in the first place. This never should have been something that needed addressing. I thought people that are willing to shell out the $ and commit to this format wouldn't stoop to something like that. I guess when you've already won once, any shred of integrity you had in the first place goes out the window.
-
MAKE OTTONEU GREAT AGAIN ⚾️🏆⚾️
-
All, I’ve going back and forth on this. As a league we should have regulated back in March for this specific scenario when I raised it. Pratt cut 10 players as a measure of good faith (you basically know 10 players on his keeper list), I don’t plan on further punishment. Anyone can match that with their roster for this year. When the season starts we will implement the draconian 3 days to fix or I will cut the last picked up player rule, if Ottoneu invalidates.
-
I'd okay ignoring cap penalty on 17 cuts to get a fully valid roster without additional harms for the error
-
I'd also argue that you need to be at/under your cap of $179. If we're going to regulate team sizes, need to also regulate team cap as well. I think we'd all probably be ok with you not taking cap penalties for those you drop now, but you'll still need to cut $29 worth of roster.
-
And I'm willing to do what the commisioner thinks is right. He asked me if I'd be willing to drop some players and I said I would
-
We also aren't proposing to change the rules mid-season. The rules pretty clearly state that an offending team faces penalties "at the discretion of the commissioner". Last time we discussed it. Determined it wasn't an issue, so no penalties were assessed. Clearly this time is different.
