PC Fantasy Football 2011-2012...?

[Rimalon]

Just trying to gauge interest. I've run the league the last... 3...? years... will do it again if we get enough folks.

Ran a hilarious auction draft last year.

Check in if you'd be down to play.

[Swami71]

Yes Please

[prance1520]

I'm in.

[Xanator]

I missed last year, but I'll play.

[Lady Lightning]

I'm all about it.

[BigWorm]

I'm down

[Bregus]

Me too

[Stabbyrogue]

Sign me up.

[Drew]

what the hell. me too.

[kookiegod]

Definitely in. :)

[Willington]

Im in.

[BigPun]

I'm definitely in if you have room.

[Kaittee]

I'm in if you have room.

[Revalos]

Definitely in. We should do that live online auction again. That was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in a FF draft.

[Rimalon]

Alright. Whomever had a team in the league last year, can you post up your team name?

The only one I'm really sure of is Scott/Swami and the Swamies, I think.

I'll delete the dead weight from the league in a few days if I don't hear back from a team (I'M LOOKING AT YOU SEAN OF THE THREAD)... and we'll go from there.

If you DIDN'T have a team last year, PM me or post an e-mail address here for an invite?

[Willington]

Original Sin

[kookiegod]

Kookie Cutters

[JustDan]

If there's room, I'm definitely in. JustDan@mail.com

Guess who's back?

This time I'm going to draft a RB not named Clinton Portis.

Fuck.

[Revalos]

Red Storm Rising will rise again y'all!

[Rimalon]

Re: A couple things for y'all.

Firstly, we do the league on ESPN. It allows me to fulfill my jones of posting inappropiate rap videos and photoshopped football pictures on the league frontpage.

We'll do another auction draft... I'll start cutting out the dead weight and sending out invites at some point tomorrow.

Right now I'm also looking at Sunday, August 28th for a draft... if anyone would have an issue with that, lemme know. I recall that last year we did it at like 8 or 9 PM EST and had 15 owners show up or something?

Paul wasn't there for the first 2 minutes and blew his whole wad on Peterson and Chris Johnson. GOOD TIMES!

Feel free to PM or AIM (Rimalon48) me any questions.

Word.

[Rimalon]

Also re: money

Last year we did a "pay if you want to" type thing. I believe we did what, $20? Only people who paid are eligible to win the $$$, and if no one who paid wins the league, the $$$ goes to the next-highest finisher.

Winner take all, of course. I think Scott/Swami held the cash?

We can totally do that again this year. AGREE?

[BigPun]

I'm down for the $20 pay league unless its one of those stupid leagues where you have to pay $ every time you want to add/drop. Seems like the pay should be mandatory though if your gonna do a pay league, just my opinion.

[Drew]

I think the most success we ever had was taking gemstone silver instead of cash.

[Xanator]

Did Gemstone silver or cash two years ago, and that worked out ok. Not everyone who wants in still plays, so.

[Rimalon]

Keller, I need an email address to send you an invite, and I can't seem to PM you.

Also, BigWorm, I seem to remember you being Sparkle Motion... but maybe that was in your sig or something. Sent you a PM... otherwise, I will also need an e-mail for an invite.

Everyone else should have an invite in their inbox.

If I mistakenly deleted your team, let me know.

[Parkbandit]

The year of the Bandits has begun.

http://www.cumberlandminorhockey.ca/images/junior_bandits_logo.gif

[Kaittee]

I've only ever done fantasy football using Yahoo, is there anything drastically different that I should know about? The roster and points seem to be roughly the same as what we've set up in the past.

Research and Destroy!

[Drew]

Is this league PPR or does it suck?

[Parkbandit]

The league is currently not set up for PPR.

[Rimalon]

Need one more for 16... we could roll with 15 though... 3 divisions of 5.

PPR in a deep league like this is really unnecessary. IMO. When you're scouring the waiver wire for a team's 4th WR because you're QB and RB heavy... and someone's sitting there with 2 #1 WRs and a top TE, it can just really skew things randomly.

But again, IMO!

If the majority of the league wants PPR, we can burn it.

[WRoss]

I'll play. Haven't played in a while, but we'll see!

[JustDan]

I'm also up for it, if you're still in need of another player.

[kookiegod]

That works for me!

[Parkbandit]

I think there is enough interest in this league.. just make it a $20 entry fee.. winner takes all. If someone wants to play in a league with no money.. I'm sure there may be some interest in creating one.

People should have a horse in this race..

[Kaittee]

Money makes people more motivated to keep up with it. Where do we send it to?

[WRoss]

The Naperville Narwhals will stomp you all!

[Rimalon]

Paul has offered to keep the money... I sure as hell don't want to! =P.

If he's up for posting his paypal info or whatnot, we can get this bitch started.

ALSO: Draft is currently set for Sunday, August 28th @ 10:00 PM EST. Should be over by midnight. Is that too late for anyone?

ETA: added EST

[Parkbandit]

Sounds good to me.

Is it going to be mandatory?

[Xorai]

I'm in for the cash league if any spots are available.

10 is pretty late for me, I'm up before 5 for work. 8 or 9 would be better but if everyone wants to stay at 10 then I'll suck it up.

[WRoss]

I am all for paying $20 if you all are alright with me paying in a few weeks. I just had to pay my tuition upfront, which is a shit ton. I have very little money until I get some money back.

I've never been able to get rid of that one since I been using it for over 20 years.

I mostly use gmail now, but I set up my paypal account years ago too.

Hush! :)

[kookiegod]

Paul, I don't use Paypal. Can I send a check?

Yessir, I'll PM it to you.

~Paul

[Rimalon]

Alright, so I haven't heard many objections about the 10PM start except the one?

I have three drafts on the 28th... two IRL and this one. First at noon, next at six... and then this one.

Unless y'all mofos start speaking up, we're going to leave it at 10!

YA HURRD?

[Rimalon]

IN ADDITION:

I set waivers to inverse of standings each week. If you guys have a problem with this, let me know. I think it's more fair than the other option?

I also adjusted the schedule such that: You play your division-mates in weeks 1, 2, 3 and 11, 12, 13 (first and last). The original schedule had you playing your division in the first 6 matchups. Gayness.

8 teams make the playoffs... 4 division winners and the next 4 best records.

SOUND GOOD? Good.

.

The only fair waivers is auction waivers.

[Rimalon]

I'm down with auction waivers as well, if we want it. I'm no dictator.

[Parkbandit]

What is this... fantasy hockey?

[Keller]

Playoffs make too much sense.

I say we divide the PC into eight separate voting panels.

Each week, the panels vote for who is in in first through sixteenth place. Latrinsorm will be conscripted to construct a convoluted calculation to determine who is first through sixteenth in the league each week. In week 17, the top two teams in the Latrinsorm poll will play to determine the winner.

Going to be a nice Pot this year.I thank you all in advance for your money.Im sure ill spend it on The Steelers Super Bowl party again.


Let the Smack Talk begin

[WRoss]

I feel funny playing in a division with people I like.

[kookiegod]

Is Drew's team Batman? I assume it is, as I got 20 bucks for Drew sent to me today.

Got it and updated!

[Keller]

13 of 16 paid. C'mon slackers.

Note: keller is mailing a check, so thats 12.

~Paul

Dropped it in the mailbox today.

[BigPun]

Should have my money now. Sorry for the delay.

[kookiegod]

Ok, assuming Keller's check went out which I have no doubt it did.

Only Sparkle Motion hasn't paid.

So 15x20 = 300.

Nice little pot for the winner.

[Keller]

did we decide if it is winner take all or some sort of split?

[Parkbandit]

"You're either first, or you're last"

[Keller]

"You're either first, or you're last"

Fine with me.

I just didn't know if we set the framwork.

I've been in leagues where people get a piece of the pool for having the most defensive points, having the highest point total for the year (cumulative), having the highest point total in a single week, etc.

In the end the winner basically just doubled his investment and everyone else got the equivalent of participation trophies.

I'm not the type that believes in participation trophies...

[Rimalon]

Win or go home. Only the winner of the David Whatley trophy gets the $$$.

Alrighty boss!

[Rimalon]

None of us will truly emulate David Whatley if we puss out and like, actually PAY PEOPLE. Fuck that, hoard it all!

[Lady Lightning]

Thanks for holding my money, Paul.

[kookiegod]

Thanks for holding my money, Paul.

No worries.

Ok, Charlie/Sparkle Motion has paid, we are all in. This makes it good, at least you got an investment to lose if you stop playing.

Looking forward to the draft! :)

~Paul

[Lady Lightning]

That was me passive aggressively saying, the pot is MINE!

[WRoss]

I am moving and was nervous because I didn't think comcast would be able to install the internet, but they are doing it on the 27th. Yay draft!

[Parkbandit]

So, we're still good for Sunday 10pm EDT, right?

[Rimalon]

Yupyup. Pending le Hurricane knocking some folks power out, of course.

[Sean of the Thread]

I'm rooting for the Tampabay Bandits.

Good times. Steve Spurrier, Lex Luger played hell even Burt Reynolds was there sometimes being part owner. They played in the "Big Sombrero" as the Swami affectionately calls it and boy was it fun shit and a cool ass stadium.

[Revalos]

God damn it, if the hurricane kills my power and I end up with nothing but kickers and Brett Favre, I am going to be pissed. I'm going to try to set up my preferences tonight, but I doubt it will help considering the insanity of bidding we had in this league last year.

If you want, I can help you select players via text messaging. Just PM me your cell number and I'll send you a text.

It will suck, but it's doable.

[Revalos]

PM sent. I'm going to edit the auction values a bit just in case my cell dies or something. Thanks!

[Willington]

Can we move the draft?Hate to see some ppl get a team they`re not happy with.

[WRoss]

I am fine with this.

[Parkbandit]

I am fine with this.

Ditto

[Drew]

Agreed

[Boora]

Is this league full or got a spot for one more?

[Rimalon]

League's full, and the hurricane has fucked us all...

I changed the draft date to next Sunday, September 4th at 8:00 PM ET.

Thoughts?

I can return it to tomorrow if we get enough dissent, but I think next Sunday will work better, at this point.

My main league drafts Sept 4 at 8. I can't make it if our league drafts at this time.

[Rimalon]

Is there a better time next Sunday? Hmmmmmm...

A league without Drew is no league at all.

[Parkbandit]

I'm ready any day, but I don't think it's fair to those people of NJ/NC?/NY/MA if they get their electricity knocked out and can't bid on who they want.

Next Sun at 5 maybe?

[Rimalon]

Yeeeeah, I'm worried that some of them might have their power knocked off even as we speak.

I'll move it to 5 for now... think 3 hours is enough to finish the auction and get ready for your 8:00, Drewboy?

[Drew]

Yeah that works great for me

[BigWorm]

This time actually works out a lot better for me, so I've no complaint.

[Revalos]

Yay, my power was only out for 15 hours! I bet others aren't as lucky though. 5PM on that Sunday is fine by me for the draft.

[Keller]

So 5pm eastern on Sept 4?

[Rimalon]

So 5pm eastern on Sept 4?

As it stands now, yep!

[Boora]

yeep - I'd say that Irene did more damage than expected in lots of areas.

[kookiegod]

Keller's check finally arrived.

I believe it was hand-carried...

By a snail!

WTF!

Seriously?

LOL!

I dropped it in my building's outbox. I assume the mailman empties it everyday.

[Xorai]

I paid awhile back and I noticed that the league is full and I'm not one of the teams. You may want to look into that.

[Parkbandit]

If you want, you can take my place. Just make sure Paul sends me back my $20 or else.

I'm already in 3 leagues anyway.. I really don't mind.

Good luck.

[Rimalon]

If you guys have worked out that switch, that's alright... you sure you're doing it?

Xorai, give me your e-mail address so I can invite.

I will say, though, that sending money before you had a registered team is... INTERESTING.

But no probz, bobz.

Not to troll TOO hard, but would any of you folks be interested in helping to fill out our league? GS coins entry fee (1m coins, or 8.00 via Paypal), snake draft tomorrow night (Friday) at 830 PM EST. Two of my owners have vanished on me, and I need to get those spots filled.

Drop me a line if you're willing to take on another league, please.

Still haven't heard from Xorai. Get at me, son.

Let me know if he doesn't show up.. I'll go back in. I'll be at the beach this weekend, but should be home by draft time.

[Xorai]

Sorry about the delay! I've been getting SLAMMED at work this week. I'm not going to be able to make the draft it seems. Take my $20 entry and apply it to PB's in. Good luck!

I assumed once I paid that I'd get an invite link. 16 teams paid on the boards and Paul posted the list of team names that had paid. It's more interesting to me that there's a team that hasn't paid that's registered.

No, it's cool. Paul, send him his $20 back.. I'll PP you back the money you just sent me.

[Rimalon]

Our bud PB is in, then!

DRAFT TOMORROW AT 5 PM EDT Y'ALL.

Should be fun! No hurricanes this time!

[WRoss]

Can we get a list of who is in each league by their PC names?

[kookiegod]

No, it's cool. Paul, send him his $20 back.. I'll PP you back the money you just sent me.

Ok, heh, sheesh! See ya in 30 minutes or so.

Thanks for draftin' y'all!

GONNA BE A FUN YEAR!
