/first

[Nero Cain]

I didn't get a pm :/

[Nero Cain]

Both TWIE and Titus are playing in auction. You should ask them if they'd like to play in this too. I'm not really sure why this doesn't get an annocment but thats up to the mods.

[Nero Cain]

When do we find out the draft order?

[Nero Cain]

I think Mith tapes some numbers to his blocks and when he picks them up it determines the draft order.

[Nero Cain]

oyeah fucking 10 man leagues eww.

fuck.


why did all my dudes collectively take a fat dump on the field the final 5 weeks of the year.

^
Can I play twice so we can get it up to 12 in l3 unless we find others?

[Nero Cain]

WOOT!

12/12/10

[Nero Cain]

It seems like the people that are pro-smaller leagues are more vocal though.

I think most of us are actually @ 12 and only panzer wants a small league.

[Nero Cain]

Can I play twice so we can get it up to 12 in l3 unless we find others?

[Nero Cain]

I mean finding a 12th is the objective but I will pull double duty until we get a 12th.

[Nero Cain]

yes
no

[Nero Cain]

theoretically, say you want my #1 pick and for it, I want your first, third and fourth round picks. Say we agree. You tell me who you want at #1 and I tell you all who I want when your #12th, 25th, and 37th picks. We obviously trade after the draft and you'll be 2 players down but then you can just use the waiver wire to pick up players.

Like, its doable but I think any trades would have to be made public and enforced by the commish after the draft.

[Nero Cain]

no

In a 12-team league that is not feasible whatsoever.

I think we already did something similar to that once. Like trading, draft picks seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do do I'm not really opposed to the idea in general but its seems like it might be a little hard to do.

[Nero Cain]

thats precious

[Nero Cain]

you are the 10th pick. I assume you don't care about the other picks.

[Nero Cain]

good reason to show up for the draft

[Nero Cain]

Why?

[Nero Cain]

then you failed

[Nero Cain]

I think I like my team.

[Nero Cain]

Hmmm, should I start Russel Wilson against Green Bay or Eli Manning against Dallas week 1?

Wilson

[Nero Cain]

I'm gonna be a bit late to the L1 draft tonight by a half hour or so just fyi

will auto draft cam Meredith, Spencer ware and julian edelman.

[Nero Cain]

my big screw up was that I took Diggs in the 6th when I should have gone QB. Other than that I think I like my team.

[Nero Cain]

I'd be interested in trading the muscle hamster for Luck.

[Nero Cain]

he drafted Rawls when Lacy is penciled in as the starter. He's basically offering Montgomery/Powell for the stuff he wanted.

[Nero Cain]

i read on draft day that Rawls was the starter. But he's a RB #4 on my roster for a reason. Ideally I use Powell/Bell, that being said. I dunno how things are gonna play out w/ the Jets. I think Powell has been better than Forte and should get most of the work, but the Jets may not agree and see things differently.

Both ourlads and espn have Lacy penciled in as the starter. Chances are that Seattle mixes carries. Choice is the third down back. I'm optimistic that Lacy finally bounces back. In hindsight, I maybe shouldn't have taken Crowell and taken a WR in rd 2 but then a Crowell/Hyde seems like a nice 1-2 punch. I think Brown-Tate-Diggs is an intriguing WR trio but Tate can be frustrating at times.

I agree with you that Powell will prob get the majority of the work. I had considered taking him as a late round depth pick but then like that offense will prob not be that good and the run game might not be that good?

[Nero Cain]

you guys must really hate me. I am up against Hunt in both L1 and L3.

[Nero Cain]

Well, of course, I have the 2nd highest score in the league but still lose. :/

[Nero Cain]

Rob'll win in w6.

[Nero Cain]

Rob beat me to Tobert. I do not have good RBs this week.

[Nero Cain]

If this comes down to the 9 points I could have gotten for sitting Crowell and starting Rodgers...

[Nero Cain]

Dalton's got AJ Green. Doesn't make him top 10 imo

Dalton is actually pretty good. He just sucks the year b/c the o-line is bad. May the new offensive coordinator fixes things.

[Nero Cain]

any chance of me winning week 2 was prob dashed with that Sanders TD

[Nero Cain]

i'll prob go 0-14.

[Nero Cain]

It's sad that in L1 I am #2 in points scored and #1 in point scored against me.

[Nero Cain]

Why does L3 have an IR slot but not L1?

[Nero Cain]

Will Nero finally get a win this week?!?

[Nero Cain]

yep, i'm going 0-14.

[Nero Cain]

I'm playing someone from out of division twice and not playing one of my division opponents twice.

Same. I'm playing Aronis twice (out of division) and Baboon once but it doesn't matter who I play, I'll still lose.

[Nero Cain]

one of


Flameaxe
Yiley
TheDominator37
Internet Stranger
DeathNote

[Nero Cain]

so I'm needing a x-90-1 or x-30-2 stateline from Witten tomorrow night

[Nero Cain]

I'm still winless in L-1 too but atleast I'm 4th in power rankings

[Nero Cain]

Well now Rodgers happened and I'm 0-4.

[Nero Cain]

IKR!

[Nero Cain]

Wentz crapped the bed in week 3 and he doesn't have the most favorable schedule. I think he's a good QB but he's meh in fantasy I think.

[Nero Cain]

thanks!

[Nero Cain]

that stud that picked up Watson.

[Nero Cain]

Nero might get his first L3 win this week thanks to my fuckup and Snead's injury, so, you're welcome if that happens.

j/k lol

inb4 70.30 points from Cousins, Proyor and Thompson tonight

[Nero Cain]

When he comes off IR you either have to drop him or drop someone from your bench to make room for Carson.

[Nero Cain]

too soon?

[Nero Cain]

I continue to get raped by the schedule.

[Nero Cain]

Wouldn't Marshall still be #1? Like maybe Shepard gets more work but yeah...

Giants will still suck though.

[Nero Cain]

I don't expect to win any more games.

it's really weird that I'm one of the best teams in L1 but I'm going to be sitting near the bottom of the league.

[Nero Cain]

I'm in 10th place but

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride would be 43-12 if they played every team every week.
If Baboon Bamboozlers had played every team in the league each week, they would be 39-16.
Ramblin' Rhinos would be 36-19 if they played every team every week.

If they played every team every week, My dear Watson would be 34-21.

If Rob's Shitshow had played every team in the league each week, they would be 31-24.
If they played every team every week, Mask of Zorotter would be 27-28.
If they played every team every week, Tally Whackers would be 26-29.
If they played every team every week, Coruscant Jedi would be 25-30.
If they played every team every week, Sea Brees would be 23-32.
If Players on IR Leader had played every team in the league each week, they would be 20-35.
If DakstreetsBack had played every team in the league each week, they would be 16-39.
If DN. R? had played every team in the league each week, they would be 10-45.

[Nero Cain]

Well, I've lost.

[Nero Cain]

I think I've had it up to here. I literally cannot win in L1 while everyone else has easy as fuck schedules. The schedule isn't even set up right and that likely screwed me out of a win last week. Though tbf, I shouldn't have started Jones this week.

[Nero Cain]

you aren't in L1....

or even playing me this week in l3.

[Nero Cain]

I mean, even if I had played Hyde instead of Jones I'd still only be winning by 3 points right now. And Antino Brown would have to get more that want Fitzgerald, Beat Mode an Thomas get. Like I could maybe eke out a win but I hate that I don't seem to get matchups against teams that score like 60-80 points :/

[Nero Cain]

ah ok so he's tanking in l3:P

I am the leading scorer this week in l3......

[Nero Cain]

funny coincidence that no one else will care about but me.

In L1 I have Deshaun Watson and the team I was playing had Kirk Cousins.

In the auction league, I have Kirk Cousins and was playing Deshaun Watson.

[Nero Cain]

All five of the losses for My dear Watson this season have come when their opponent had their highest-scoring week of the season.

I've had a WHOPPING 649 pts scored against me which is like 90ish points more than the 2nd (Agar) at 549.

Somehow I am listed as second in power rankings and yahoo thinks I'll go 6-2 in my next games. Yeah right.

But my points scored are 564 which is 3rd best in the league.

[Nero Cain]

Aronis had him on his bench. I bet he feels sick.

[Nero Cain]

Another not horrible week but I'm still gonna lose.

[Nero Cain]

Did we ever solve the schedule issue in league 1? That's kind of a big deal. We need to fix the last week.

no but I feel like the damage has been done so no point in fixing it.

[Nero Cain]

TE's are just always hit or miss. Ertz and Kelece are maybe the only consistent ones this year.

[Nero Cain]

At least you aren't 1-6 but your EVE record is the third best in the league.

[Nero Cain]

Also jesus Nero, you are getting fucked HARD.

IKR! pls have sympathy on me and sit your whole team.

[Nero Cain]

Whats this?!? Might I actually win?

[Nero Cain]

Watch him do it.

[Nero Cain]

Agar, I'm giving you a big red L for your birthday.

L

[Nero Cain]

yeah, he was kinda ticking me off.

[Nero Cain]

way 2 go

[Nero Cain]

@L3

, we need more 4-4 teams.

[Nero Cain]

there will be 9 after this week.

Also, you know you got...REXT...in that trade, right?

[Nero Cain]

It's just my opinion. I didn't even vote against the trade. I'm just saying that Rext gets a starting quality back for RB depth and a WR 3. Obviously, now that SF has Jimmy G Garcon's outlook is a little

better

but supposedly Jimmy G doesn't start till week 12 (though that could be the coach trying to psych teams out).

[Nero Cain]

I mean, my season was p much done anyways

[Nero Cain]

yea! I'm in 9th place and my EPE in tied for #2. Hopefully, I can avoid a demotion with a few more wins (but I shouldn't be anyways)

[Nero Cain]

but think of the constellation bracket!

[Nero Cain]

Why didn't you set your lineup this week, Zor?

[Nero Cain]

ok, I need both Rob and Toad to win this week.

[Nero Cain]

@L-1

pls sit your roster against me. lol

[Nero Cain]

Thanks IS for letting Brown fall into my lap.

[Nero Cain]

guess who scored 150 points?

[Nero Cain]

yw. I had dropped Gordon b/c I figured that I don't go to the playoffs.

[Nero Cain]

10 teams is so much of a fucking joke. Just draft better and make smarter wire pickups. If anything, I'd argue to reduce the bench size before axeing two teams.

The bottom 4 in L1 (9, 10, 11, 12) go to L2

Top 3 in L2 go to L1.

last place in l2 goes to L3

Winner of L3 goes to L1.

[Nero Cain]

10 teams is so much of a fucking joke. Just draft better and make smarter wire pickups. If anything, I'd argue to reduce the bench size before axeing two teams.

This is the stupidest paragraph I've ever read, congrats.

just for shits and giggles what even is your argument for a 10 team league?

[Nero Cain]

Divisions only really work if our scheduling doesn't get completely fucked up heyyyy

ikr. also good def pick up.

[Nero Cain]

10 team leagues too easy.
12 team leagues awkward playoffs(ish, i guess)
14 team leagues rosters too deep.

[Nero Cain]

Should we do a keeper league next year?

Keeper leagues are basically impossible for a league like this, with relegation and promotion and people dropping out and coming in so often.

^

KMD and I discussed making the auction league a keeper (assuming a majority would want that) or creating a separate keeper lesgue.

[Nero Cain]

fucked up.

who here would be interested in a separate keeper league?

[Nero Cain]

I'm just shit.

agreed.

[Nero Cain]

Thank god for that 6-1 run after starting 1-6. Mildly annoyed that I was #1 in points scored but felt close to demotion all year long. Part of me wonders what things would look like if the scheduling was correct.


Not that I think that we should nix the division setup but I would be in favor of changing the demotion/promotion system based on points scored. That seems like a much more viable indication of owner ability/luck/skill than record based on schedule as that's super swingy.

[Nero Cain]

Zoraster since he allowed a scheduling mess in L1 this year?

I've thought about that alot and at first, I was all

RRRRAAAAGGGEEE

and wanted him automatically demoted but after thinking about it? naw. He just should lose GM status. He came in 10th so it doesn't matter anyways.

There's going to be a fair amount of turnover in l1 and l2? I feel like divisions should be kept somewhat static.

[Nero Cain]

like if we wanted to keep divisions static then it would be like

vodoo

Agar

{AGar/Locke/Rob/BBM} division.

I want this.

I thought me and AGar were friends so I'm kinda ticked he wanted not me in his division. I want him next year so I can grudge match that fucker (and beat him!) twice next year.

[Nero Cain]

well, you gave it the old college try.

[Nero Cain]

its sooooooooooooooooooooooooo rude of me to take a friendly jab at Agar. Oh jeez.

[Nero Cain]

Panzer has been livid ever since I said rap was crap.
