League 3

We're down to 10 now, just so you're all aware. We're waiting on one more to join the league, but if I recall I knew we would be until today. Currently the draft time is set for August 17th at 1pm Eastern, as 5/10 of us can make that and three of you have made no indication either way. If there are vehement objections to this, please let me know.

(also name your teams jeez using just your username is super lame)

That date is fine with me for now. If something unexpected comes up between then and now that prevents me from attending I'll let you know.

If he doesn't show in the next day or two, will bump up Xalxe.

If Xalxe is bumped up, who becomes our commissioner?

filled out the whenisgood survey yet, please do. Otherwise, there may be some PMs asking about possible flexibility.

Frankly, I merely need a time and I'll respond on if it's fine or not. Right now my schedule is very open until semester begins. Nevertheless, I can always make time for drafting provided it's not the same time as a class.

Wraith · Post Post #225 (isolation #5) » Sat Aug 16, 2014 1:45 pm

I have the first overall pick? :O

What is our draft set as?

I can't currently access the league page for some damn reason because I'm not on my primary desktop where I have the link bookmarked.

I'm hoping it's not still set for tomorrow because I'm going to be moving to a new place (which I just cemented yesterday).

EDIT: Okay we're pushing it out. I have a live draft for my second league on AUgust 31st at 8PM, so I can't do it then. Other than that and tomorrow I'm free every other day. Personally I'd prefer we do this next week or weekend, before school begins.

Wraith · Post Post #238 (isolation #6) » Tue Aug 19, 2014 10:06 am

Alright, FINALLY, I've managed to get back into my school account to see my schedule again. Starting next week, the main problems will be 4PM-7PM (Monday only) and 5-7PM (Tuesday and Thursday), as I have class then. However, the latter may be subject to change as I'm looking into switching out that class for another tests pending. Other than that I should be able to do any evening/night time for drafting outside 8/31, which I've already stated is a live draft for my other league.

Wraith · Post Post #272 (isolation #7) » Sat Aug 23, 2014 12:12 pm

So L3, we should confirm a draft time now. Can we just do a show of hands on who will be here tomorrow night (say ~7-8PM EST?), and see if that's good?

Wraith · Post Post #318 (isolation #10) » Mon Aug 25, 2014 11:47 am

Charles to Ball is a downgrade with a potential for upside with me. Ball is a 300-touch candidate. He's in a prolific offense and is going to get carries AND be targeted in the passing game. Denver is literally making him a centerpiece of their offense.

I'm not in y'all's league but this same thing is true for Charles except Charles is proven - there's the saying that Charles IS the Chief's offense, and gets something like 70% of its plays. There's also the fact that Denver is a pass-first team while it has Manning and the Chiefs are a run-first team while they have no real receivers.

Yeah, I prepared extensively for it with handwritten personal rankings and their byes. It's

extremely

important to note bye weeks in particular in a live draft.

Wraith · Post Post #385 (isolation #16) » Mon Sep 08, 2014 6:12 am

So this seems pretty damn unlikely, but it's not impossible. I can't start Calvin Johnson and have any realistic hope of winning because any TD by Johnson gets 4 points for Stafford, netting only 2 points and yards would be a net of 0.6 points per 10 yards or 6 points per 100 I think, clearly not enough to get the clearance over Stafford.

So to have any chance of winning, I have to start Floyd.

This is terrible logic. You not starting Johnson doesn't prevent Stafford from getting points, it just means you don't benefit from Stafford getting TDs off Johnson. Don't sit your studs.

I got spanked too, but it was so rare that I feared the shame far more than the pain.

But if the pictures I saw are real, Peterson went so far overboard he was adrift over the horizon. There's disciplining, and there's beating the shit out of a 4-year-old.

Yeah Flameaxe has had some alarmingly bad luck in his matchups. I was shocked to see him at 5-5.

I have been carried some weeks by my amazing run game, other weeks by my amazing foresight in choosing defenses. My weakness at WR outside AB would be crippling otherwise.

I'm pretty much running away with the league though. All of my chief rivals have somehow been dragged down to where I'm at least two wins ahead of any given team. However, I will almost certainly lose in week 12.

At least I get to move up. Unfortunately though I'm not confident I'll be lucky enough in the draft next year to snag the injury-proof dream team that was Le'Veon Bell + Antonio Brown. Or its 2015 equivalent.

Good season to Flameaxe. He really came from behind to win it all, as IIRC he had one of the toughest schedules of the league and had fallen to a .500 record at one point in mid-season. That championship and this whole season were like a fantasy football mirror image of 2007 and Superbowl XLII.
