-making FAAB our waiver and the budget (I propose $100)
I like waivers better than FAAB - I've never played with FAAB and it feels overly complicated.
-using ppr
half point PPR is my pref
-getting rid of kickers
hate kickers
-draft pick trades
this sounds cool
-getting rid of the 3rd WR and making it a flex spot
so yes

Nay, kickers are a fun bit of semi-randomness. Another league I'm in changed kicker FG scoring to 0.1 point per yard for successful FG and it's been pretty novel; I wouldn't mind seeing that in other leagues. (That league also dishes out -1 point per missed XPT.)
Don't really care. Don't actively want it but would not object if it gets added.

I'd rather add a flex slot without removing anything, but would be fine with this. Would personally prefer it be RB/WR/TE if possible just for funsies but wouldn't complain if that doesn't happen.

There’s something good about having 9 players that’s the only reason I don’t like adding a flex. Having 100 points as a “Mendoza line” of sorts is a good benchmark that goes away (to an extent) when you add a player. I’d be content replacing WR with flex but wouldn’t be as happy just adding a flex (unless the “kickers die a horrible death” one also happens).

what does ppr add other than making more players viable? I sorta feel like if we do the flex we'd prob need that ppr b/c a 12 p league with a 6 person bench...RBs might be scarce? Or should we make the bench smaller as well?

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
I like kickers, I understand that they are swingy but so are most everything else. Another thing we could do is earse the distance modifiers and make all fgs just 3 pts.

Another idea that I like (which means no one else likes it) is to either keep the 3 wrs and add a WR/TE slot or just have the 2 WRs and a WR/TE slot to kinda mimic the 3/4 WR or 2 TE sets which are pretty common. Or maybe even 2 wr, a wr/te slot, and a dlex so on any given week you could start up to four wrs or 3 tes or 3 rbs

<I would be willing to give this a try as long as we can vote it out year after if we all not like it
-using ppr
<0.5 is fine or we could use 0.5 or 1 by receiving first downs. After all should you really get any points for a catch you get behind line of scrimmage?
-getting rid of kickers
<I refuse this. Kickers are an essential part of FOOTball
-draft pick trades
<This is fine as long its by position
-getting rid of the 3rd WR and making it a flex spot
<I refuse. RB is already scarce. It will be more so as many try to get 3 to start every week. I'd rather we got rid of 3 wr and replace it with nothing
So you propose away and we can discuss things.

wr/te flex MIGHT be ok. Need to do some math as I don't think that will make te's scarce. But rb/wr/te I refuse!
If my comments bothered anyone, I apologize. So is anyone replacing flame?

I think its fine to trade draft position a week or so before the draft as long as that stays consistent every round. Changing for just one round or trading for next year, I refuse!
I also refuse a super flex that involves QB. If we have a super flex everyone will want to start a QB there since they get the most points. So everyone will start 2 qbs and want 1 qb on their bench for byes and in case shit happens. 12 teams times 3 qbs is 36. There are not 36 starting QBs in the nfl!
No wonder pooky likes that idea. Pooky took mahomes

Yeah it's not "I'll give you Aaron Rodgers for a 2nd next year", it's "I'll trade you my picks for your picks" between draft order reveal and the draft itself.
