Ottoneu 2017

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Guys we need to find a way to break the league into divisions so that there's more for everyone to play for. This isn't the 1962 National League.

Also, metsmarathon should respond to my very generous trade proposal before I change my mind.

[Ceetar]

would be nice. I guess we could explore an alternate site but I'm not seeing one that is obviously better either.

Though I guess if someone wanted to keep track of it we could manually set up divisions. Scoring is the same anyway, I don't know how you'd resolve the champion that way though.

[metsmarathon]

i'm strongly considering the trade. been a wee bit busy. you'll have a response tomorrow.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice! I think this is the first trade I've made in like 4 years of this league: Rendon for Matz, straight up.

I don;t even like Matz and I made this trade!

[metsmarathon]

i do like matz, and i made the trade! wanna send him back over (assuming the trade goes through) for severino instead?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Maybe later.

[TransMonk]

Holy design change, Batman!

[Ceetar]

hey, so, anyone feel like being an alternate for running the draft? (3/22, 9pm) This just means clicking the 'start draft' button on time once everyone has shown up (or grace period), and pausing if there are issues.

My second child is due on 3/15. There's a reasonable chance that I'm not super available on any given day in March with no warning whatsoever.

[metsmarathon]

i'd love to volunteer, but with my work travel schedule, there's no great guarantee that i'm going to be available...

[Ceetar]

Sometimes I just want to do this by chinese auction and do a few rounds.

[TransMonk]

I'll do the draft night duties.

We'll need to make sure everyone has paid their dues and such before hand. I believe that has caused issues in the past.

Thanks, I'll let you know if/when. I'd be pretty surprised if the baby isn't here by then, but maybe everyone will be happily asleep at 9?


yes. I'll email blast more about that after today's keeper deadline. Looks like we're at 10/12 still need to renew, including me.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I got a "pay up" message this morning. It said 2 weeks till they auction it off.

[Vic Sage]

Any way i can buy into the league this year?

SMG, Marathon, and mgmlax85 too are up this week.

I just renewed mine.

Glad I saw that here. They didn't send me anything.

Well, did you get any of _MY_ emails reminding you? ;-)

[metsmarathon]

is everyone re-upped?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Um, I just found out I gotta be traveling for work on the 22nd, likely to be on a plane while the draft takes place.

Is there any way we could do the 23rd or even the 21st? Otherwise I could try fly-fi.

No, but it should have gotten through to that address. I may have to check my spam filter.

[smg58]

If we need to switch days, the one day I know for certain is bad for me is the 29th.

[seawolf17]

WHOA. Almost forgot to pay; expired tomorrow. Done.

[Ceetar]

oof. we can try moving I guess? I emailed, but everyone give me avail for 21st/23rd and if that doesn't work either.. I dunno, we might have to see if we can find some stand-in auctioners.

[TransMonk]

I'm flexible that whole week and don't mind moving if we have to.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Thanks for looking into this for me. I can do almost any evening but the 22nd.

PS, LWFS's team was not renewed, Ottonue tells me

I sent him and the other guy direct emails in regards to that.

If I dont' hear from either of them by the time I get to work tomorrow and settle in, gonna put out feelers for replacements.

There's an Ottoneu slack group too, might poke my head in and see if there are people around that might want to do a 'practice' auction as a stand-in in case we can't get everyone. I figure there must be people out there with time that don't mind seeing what players go for in prep for their own auctions?

[TransMonk]

It looks like LWFS's team has been re-assigned...I'm guessing to an interloper.

GULP!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I sent the bat-signal to Radd, he wanted in

he said he'd renew and I'll manually add him back to the team when he does.

I booted the interloper, well, one, is there another? doesn't matter. I'll boot him too.

Drawing a blank on who Radd is, but sign up and gimme user name!
