Jason, you're my main rival this year.

[Kublai Khan]

I've noticed that, at times, less than deserving teams get into the NFL playoffs. Should the NFL get rid of divisions too?

[Kublai Khan]

Who ever has the most points at the end of the season, regardless of position shall be given the top awardddp.

[Kublai Khan]

I like rivalries and therefore divisions, but I recognize that it's a hard thing to accomplish because it's a huge playerbase. Luckily we are getting better about having a lot of repeat players.

I think maybe we'll benefit by being more proactive in the divisioning process. Commissioners can poll their players to list their preferences of who they want to be grouped with and try to make it possible.

For example, I'd prefer being in a division with jason and pokerface (my most-played rivals), after that I'd prefer Wraith, ZachRulez, mith, or Panzer. If I end up in a division with at least 2 of those, then it's a pretty good rivalry year.

Though privately PMing preferences would reduce drama.

[Kublai Khan]

Taking green in L2.

[Kublai Khan]

Randomize it before, PF.

[Kublai Khan]

Guys, I've chosen a team name.

Spoiler:

Zoraster's Otters

I'm going with Zorotter's Asters.

[Kublai Khan]

Dude, it's a race, it's gonna be taped. All marbles are equal right? Just do it straight down the line.

Yeah, this.

The whole point is to let the god(s) of randomness decide the draft order.

[Kublai Khan]

Man, Can we call League 2: Division 1 the "Fuck you Khan, no playoffs for you".

I know it's not catchy, but there's some accuracy there.

[Kublai Khan]

Actually, Nero... Where you based? IS and I are in Florida (I think, still). mith is TX. Can we claim a Southern division (or slightly off-south).

[Kublai Khan]

Oh, wait. Kublai got the divisions wrong lol.

Oh, crap. I totally did.

The raptor team is Zach. He's a Minnesotan.

Maybe we can trade Zach for Nero?

[Kublai Khan]

Welp, zoraster just made a great case for a competition committee.

Why does MS always have to over complicate shit.

[Kublai Khan]

EH. I'm favor of "Rule by Limitation". If Yahoo doesn't let people swap draft picks, then don't swap draft picks.

[Kublai Khan]

I'm not home nor on my computer, would someone mind linking me to L2?

Only if you trade me your first round pick for my last round.

[Kublai Khan]

What the eff, Nero?

[Kublai Khan]

Yahoo needs to hurry up and grade the draft so I can watch it judge people.

They DO have the current projections up wich may or may not be similarish to the grades. Like Aronis had the "best draft" but is supposed to finish second. You are going 9th but you are 8th in power rankings.

Footballguys gave me a 75% chance of making the playoffs with great management so I laugh at yahoo ranking me low.

Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 80 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 70 percent chance of making the playoffs.

The Maurile guy gives me the best odds.

[Kublai Khan]

Mongolian Education proved on draft day that when the lights come on, they perform, building a strong team capable of beating anyone on the schedule. They are expected to finish first in mafiascum.net League 2 League with a record of 11-3-0 (1,527 points).

Shit. The kiss of death.

[Kublai Khan]

If anyone has been wanting to check out draftkings I have a referral link, pm me ,both of us get free money

Ugh. Freaking adbots.

[Kublai Khan]

DO you guys ever have needs for subs/replacements? Didn't know this was a thing!

Yeah, sorry Elias. Probably not this year, but I'm sure mith (or someone) can PM you for next year.

[Kublai Khan]

"Hypothetically speaking, if Fightin' Reindeer had scored 62.83 more points, they would have beaten every team in the league this week."

Well, we know what John Madden's up to these days.

[Kublai Khan]

Sweet. Pretty good start.

Waiting for that shoe to drop.

[Kublai Khan]

What's the status of Arian Foster? Is he start material?

[Kublai Khan]

Poker.. Why are you aiming for a RB when you have Forte & Miller?

[Kublai Khan]

Getting less value because pickles = value based

K

I'll trade you a cornerback for 3 barrels of pickled cucumbers.

[Kublai Khan]

Pokerface is going down in flames.

[Kublai Khan]

No.

[Kublai Khan]

Nope. I'm leapfrogging Nero into second place.

Turns out I'm an insufferable winner. Sorry.

[Kublai Khan]

Wait, this whole thing keeps going after the draft part?

[Kublai Khan]

I finally broke my losing skid.

[Kublai Khan]

I have the most points for and the 3rd most points against.

5-5 record. Damn.

[Kublai Khan]

League 2 has actually been really amazingly competitive. Only one team is 8-2 and only one team is 2-8. The rest is all still a toss-up at this point.

mith has the best chance of being relegated to League 3..

[Kublai Khan]

I'm getting really tired of seeing the letter Q.

[Kublai Khan]

I should tonight.

I have to beat IS to get into the playoffs.

[Kublai Khan]

Congrats gamsimbre!

[Kublai Khan]

Khan gets in WHEN he defeats IS. (Khan will be 6-0 in division while IS will be 2-4. Currently Khan has higher score than IS by almost 40)

For the fact, yes.

[Kublai Khan]

Aw hell. Riddick is out.

[Kublai Khan]

Yay! Another trip to the consolation bowl! I am the franchise of L2.

[Kublai Khan]

I get to play Khan in consolation bracket finals, just like last year....

If only Kirk cousins was on my team....

khhhhaaaaaaaannnnn!

LET'S DO THIS! YOU'RE GOING DOWN! REVENGE FOR LAST YEAR'S FLUKE!

[Kublai Khan]

If I don't FINALLY get my rightful spot in L1 I'm going to flip my fucking shit.

Be better tbh

I literally need powers of precognition to be any better at this game.

I've arguably been the consistently best player in any MS league three years running yet my team inexplicably shits the bed right at the end.

I had THE Dream Team in 2014 (Bell, Brown, Bryant, Hopkins) and lost in the L3 final.

I had a very good team in 2015 that decided to go on a losing streak the last 3 weeks. I had the fourth-best record in L2 (9-5) yet missed the playoffs due to division shenanigans.

And this year I'm 12-2 with a very solid squad. Yet somehow I'm supposed to be able to predict Brandin Cooks will have a career game, the Vikings will go totally flaccid against the Colts of all teams (and yet TY fucking Hilton gets nothing in terms of production), and half my receivers do jack shit against garbage opponents.

Quit making excuses, Wraith. Fantasy football is a game of skill and only skill.

[Kublai Khan]

Two years in a row I am 5th in league 2

And two years in a row that I am 6th in League 2 (after losing to you, PF).

I think this rut is becoming an actual rivalry!

[Kublai Khan]

Stuck In My Rut Division

I like big ruts and I cannot lie.

[Kublai Khan]

Man, Wraith got screwed over by the playoffs, not the divisions.

[Kublai Khan]

Instead of a Heisman Trophy, we need to get Wraith a Heimlich Trophy.

(I'm sure I'm the first person ever to make that horrible joke.)
