Is there a way to check if I filled the questionnaire out or not? I have genuinely forgotten. :V

[Kilgamayan]

I'm for any plan where the league winner is decided before Week 18. Banking an entire season on a total crapshoot week is supremely frustrating.

[Kilgamayan]

Am I actually moving up to L1? I ended last year in 6th place in L2, and I'm not sure how that would earn me a promotion.

(I haven't responded yet but I can at least make the proposed tentative date/time)

[Kilgamayan]

Understood! I'll fill out the WhenIsGood later today, then. (I'm entirely unavailable for the two weekends AFTER the current tentative time, so I definitely want to be sure I get my times in before a final decision is made.)

[Kilgamayan]

I also did not play (and will confess to never having any intention of doing so and simply dealing with whatever resulted).

[Kilgamayan]

I went through the game and played almost flawlessly as a farmer until the very end when my arrow keys went haywire and I crashed the wagon into a rock twice, killing everyone but my own character.

The Daniel Jones Touchdown Run Experience!

League 1 Draft Order randomized

There were 12 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

Kilgamayan

PokerFace
Panzerjager
Talitha
Nero
Yiley
racefan12
pickemgenius
Kublai Khan
D3f3nd3r

I consent to this draft order

ranged scoring for kickers narrowly wins with 9 votes to 8

:toot:

I hope people enjoy this, it's unlikely to be much more than a feel-good novelty but now whoever drafts that Bengals kicker can enjoy extra points from all the 70-yard field goals he kicks

[Kilgamayan]

Or whoever the Broncos have since their stadium is great for kicking…is it still McManus?

I believe so!

i can't wait for everyone who voted for that to lose an important game by a fifth of a point because the opposing kicker is hits a field goal 2 yards to far

I am fully anticipating that this will happen to me at least once.

[Kilgamayan]

I don't have a strong opinion on whether we reseed or not.

[Kilgamayan]

Is "Higher Seasonal Point Total" an option for that tie-breaker?

[Kilgamayan]

Dang. That would've been my vote.

Are there any options

other than

the two that have been given (higher seed, better H2H reg season record)? I find the latter preferable to the former but I don't really like either of them.

[Kilgamayan]

It came up in the finals of baseball last year and I got the short end of the stick.

...Which means I am maybe probably not the most objective viewpoint on the matter.

[Kilgamayan]

I think KK meant L1, which was 7 Pacific last night.

[Kilgamayan]

Also yeah I agree with waiver priority always being reverse of Round 1 order instead of based on odd vs. even rounds, since then it's "you chose your first player later so you get a higher priority" instead of "you chose your kicker later so you get a higher priority".

[Kilgamayan]

I almost wonder if this is a net positive, since I imagine Hyde is going to be far less of a factor working against Robinson than Etienne and Robinson would have been working against each other.

Like yeah it sucks to lose that early a pick before the season even begins, but it boosts Robinson's value by a lot, enough that Robinson/Johnson could reasonably outproduce what Etienne/Robinson (or Etienne/Johnson, I suppose) would have produced. It weakens the bench but that could very well be addressed by chance due to free agency and/or injuries.

[Kilgamayan]

Cole Beasley qualified for COVID IR

This is my shocked face.

[Kilgamayan]

Suggestion for next year: maybe have the draft after preseason is complete? I feel for whoever drafted JK Dobbins…

Such is fantasy life! At least McCaffrey should be enough to keep me from getting relegated this year, so all I can do is hope I get #1 again next year.

[Kilgamayan]

CMC gets turf toe in week 3

Close!

[Kilgamayan]

If Cordarrelle Patterson can save my season like he's trying to do, anything is possible!

[Kilgamayan]

I'd be frustrated with Lockett at this point

L1 Lockett owner here, can confirm

[Kilgamayan]

there's a table in the OP

FWIW the first word in my team's name is spelled "Tatum"

If you're ever unsure you can simply remember one of the greatest pettiness NFL stories of all time

[Kilgamayan]

Went with Bridgewater because Rodgers lost his top three WRs and was visiting a very difficult fantasy pass defense while Bridgewater is getting his WR1 back this week and is hosting the literal worst fantasy pass defense.

Rodgers' final fantasy score is about what I expected, and I have a decent amount of confidence Bridgewater is going to exceed his projection.

[Kilgamayan]

Nice week Lockett

Meanwhile, on the other side of that trade...

[Kilgamayan]

L1's playoff settings are currently set to 6-team championship bracket and 6-team consolation bracket, FWIW.

[Kilgamayan]

Everyone that finishes below me gets regulated

I am given a free pass on the season because JK Dobbins's ACL Is A Fuck

[Kilgamayan]

Can't wait to use the strength of my victory this week to leap from 8th place to 8th place

[Kilgamayan]

Somehow staying in fifth despite moving to 6-6 and 0-4 in the division. Probably going to be me, PJ, and PEG at 6-6 fighting for two spots, with Kilga and maybe Groose a game back.

I'll need a lot to go my way to be a factor given I'm eventually facing KK with my best player on a bye week

[Kilgamayan]

I would personally not mind the consolation bracket mattering in terms of determining who gets relegated, but I can understand that others would prefer to not deviate from beginning-of-season expectations (as much as I'm not sure how anyone would have managed their team differently up to this point).

[Kilgamayan]

Phone has been exploding this evening with "Lead change in your matchup!" notifications, in case anyone is watching Bears/Packers and wondering how Khan and I are doing.

[Kilgamayan]

Well, at least I avoided relegation.

gg

[Kilgamayan]

WRT L1 commissionating next year, I would be willing to do it if needed, but I also recognize my relative social standing here and would not be offended if others would rather someone else do it.

[Kilgamayan]

Can we put “zero divisional games are played” on the rule change ballot for next season

If you really want, sure.

To be clear, this was a joke…but it could never hurt.

Yeah, I figured I'd rather treat a joke as serious than risk treating a serious request as a joke. Any joke requests will likely just get shot down in voting next year anyway, so there's no harm if something gets through accidentally.

At some point "soon" when I have the time, I'd like to start writing down/organizing potential poll questions and tossing ideas out there so people have ample time to consider where they fall on issues before next season begins. Ideally, I'd like there to be time to bandy question ideas about,

and

a time where general question ideas are basically locked in but the details of the responses can be discussed, so people know what they're getting into before a rule changes questionnaire is released.

For the purposes of full disclosure, it is my desire to word poll questions in order to minimize risk of related answer options getting each other's way and resulting in a plurality victory for an option that a majority of the league would have voted against. For example, I consider a question like "How many points should receptions be worth" with answers like "0", "0.5", and "1" to be suboptimal, since it is possible for a majority of the league to prefer some sort of PPR but for the winning answer to be the non-PPR option. I would prefer something along the lines of the following:

"What is your PPR scoring system preference?"

"a. I would prefer PPR with receptions worth 1 point."
"b. I would prefer PPR with receptions worth 0.5 point."
"c. "I would prefer no PPR, but if there is PPR, I would prefer receptions be worth 1 point."
"d. "I would prefer no PPR, but if there is PPR, I would prefer receptions be worth 0.5 point."

With a setup like this, PPR versus non-PPR answers can be counted, and then, if PPR wins, 0.5 answers versus 1 answers can be counted.

Alternatively, depending on how fancy we want to get, we could use the "0", "0.5", and "1" options and determine a winner using Borda count, or pairwise comparisons, or some other system that accounts for nuance.

I'm putting this out here now so people have time to consider whether or not this approach is something they want, and to pick someone else to run the league if they don't like the way I'd like to run it.

[Kilgamayan]

Those should both be easy enough to do with Google Forms (and multiple selection might also mitigate the issues presented in the PPR example provided previously).

[Kilgamayan]

Yeah, this was definitely a great week to have either a bye or a Kansas City pass-catcher.

[Kilgamayan]

double post whoops

[Kilgamayan]

Whoever runs league 1 next year please be sure to cover voting options for consolation bracket mattering and playoffs getting reseeded please

I had these in mind should people be fine with me, don't worry.

[Kilgamayan]

So who's moving up from L2 to L1 aside from LLD? I might actually have some free time this upcoming weekend to throw down an offseason discussion & planning thread.
