2373542, OKP Survivor X 2014-15 Preseason Kickoff Post Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-15-14 11:07 AM
http://hoops.sports.ws/
They've done some new, sexy things to the site that I like and the phone functionality has improved significantly. I think I might paypal them a few bucks just off GP. These guys were the right owners and we all benefit from it. Join the league (info below) and play around with some of the new features.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roster:
1) Robe 2) The Deputy Commish 3) The Commish 4) Frank Longo 5) Theo 6) Ernie 7) Matty Ice 8) Basa 9) Boogs 10)LABeat 11)Ryan M 12)TJT 13)Shawn 14)Ceej 15)Magilla 16)TheRealBillyOcean
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bidness:
The league has been set up: OKP Survivor Season X: A Kings Robe Go Join Now! Password: http://youtu.be/vdtZmPEsXwY (No spaces...all one word) Logo - http://basketball.sports.ws/media/league/11210a0eeded9b402779bd616ce2059c.jpg
Vote results: 1)New Entry Fee: 14 votes- 9 for option 3 ($60 going forward) 5 for option 1 ($100 going forward) New fee is $60 going forward (until we decide on another increase)
2)Fanduel- 10 to 1 for Nay
3)Division Draft/Realignment 7-3 Yay - Most prevalent choice was to randomize rather than draft and Cenario proposed an idea so I'll let the league choose between the two and we'll do whichever is chose and immediately assign divisions.
Draft:
-Friday, Oct 17 (Noon EST) thru Sunday, Oct 19 (6pm EST): 8 hour time limit to pick. Set contingencies because the clock will even run overnight.
-Sunday, Oct 19 (6pm EST) thru Monday, Oct 20, (Noon EST) clock off but picks can still be made.
-Monday, Oct 20, Noon-1pm EST, LIVE Draft* (see below on time limit). 1pm-5pm EST, Slow draft, 12 min time limit.
-Draft continues untimed from 5pm EST through noon EST on Tuesday, Oct 21st.
-(If necessary)Tuesday, Oct 21, Noon-1pm EST, LIVE Draft* (see below on time limit). 1pm-5pm EST, Slow draft, 15 min time limit.
*Live draft time limit will be determined by how much we finish over the weekend. If we finish between 2.5 to 3 rounds, the Live draft pick time limit will be 5 mins. If we finish less than 2.5 rounds, the Live draft pick time limit will be 3 mins.
FEE: Fee of $60 will be due Thursday, October 23rd. Late payment results in loss of IR benefit for the entire season.
There's an additional $160 added to the pot this year so the below would be the payouts: -Division Winners: $60 ($50 prior) -Runner Up: $240 ($200 prior) -Champion: $480 ($400 prior)
However, I've proposed a few participation ideas that would decrease the pot by $30. If we agree on one of those, I'll dock $20 from the winner and $10 from the runner up pot ($460 & $230).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Participation exercises: -This season everyone will contribute to the rankings video. We'll be inboxing/announcing in the season posts in regard to who's up next. This will require 2 things: audio (most phones have a voice recorder) and email to send the audio.
-As this is the 10th season we've been at this, I'm thinking for those of us that are unfamiliar with each other IRL, we could all submit one pic for usage in the rankings videos (I did this for a few of us last season...Basa, Shawn, Ceej...felt like it brought some humanity to you inhumane bastids lol).
-There have been some ideas thrown around regarding creative ways to maintain participation (Pot for best 3 year avg) and I have a few suggestions:
1)The Loser reward - The best non-playoff team would receive half of their entry fee back ($30). This would reward those at the bottom of the standings for continuing to fight through adversity.
OR
2)The best trash talker prize - The GM voted best trash talker gets half their entry fee back ($30). This would encourage participation even if your team sucks because it's based on wit moreso than standings.
I'll post these for vote also.
Once again...IT'S ON!!!!

2373544, NO...on both participation ideas...put that money in the pot. Posted by Basaglia, Wed Oct-01-14 10:36 AM

2373549, No to the participation ideas. I want my money. Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Oct-01-14 10:46 AM

2373552, Votes: Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-01-14 10:48 AM
Vote on both here:
Vote 1)Division Draft/Realignment A-Most prevalent choice was to randomize (I'll find an online randomizer and rock 'n roll from there)
B-Cenario's Alphabets:
I put all the managers in alphabetical order according to their login name on ws and came up with this. Seems pretty fair to me...
AB basa Ceej Cenario
deyote Ernie Frank Jboogs
jerseytornado Labeat magilla realbilly
Rob ryan shawn theo
Vote 2)Participation Ideas
A-The Loser reward - The best non-playoff team would receive half of their entry fee back ($30). This would reward those at the bottom of the standings for continuing to fight through adversity.
B-The best trash talker prize - The GM voted best trash talker gets half their entry fee back ($30). This would encourage participation even if your team sucks because it's based wit moreso than standings.
C-None of the above
|
2373553, One of Cenario's Alphabet divisions is a cakewalk. Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Oct-01-14 10:51 AM
I won't say which, but I think we all know which.
If "fairness" is the aim, then determine the records (or the win %) for the owners over the last 3 years and distribute the owners evenly, which would be pretty damn easy to do.
Otherwise, just randomize.
|
2373554, There's a former champ in each division Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-01-14 10:54 AM
Multiples in a few and runner ups in the other 2 that don't have multiple champs.
Seems somewhat even. I'm not opposed to doing the 'math' based divisions but saying, I don't think C's suggestion is slanted.
|
2373556, I mean, I'm obviously just eyeballing it. Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Oct-01-14 11:01 AM
I don't think it's obscenely slanted. But one of those former champs... if I had his division, I'd be dancing.
I think if fairness is the aim, like I said, there's a way to ensure that the teams are organized as they have trended over the last three seasons.

2373558, ^^^Just called LABeat wack on the sly lol Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-01-14 11:03 AM

2373557, As for Vote 2, I vote C. Officially. Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Oct-01-14 11:02 AM
|
2373560, RE: Votes: Posted by rob, Wed Oct-01-14 11:13 AM
1) I don't have a preference. I like B because I know right now, but if we can randomize quickly cool. (As an aside, I was hoping that we'd luck into the draft next week because I have the week off, but no dice).
2) No and no. I don't think 30 dollars is going to motivate people to participate or not participate.

>1: i'm confused. there are new options now >2: C. there's a new option now also?
1: Yeah, this one is becoming organic. Just weigh in on which you think works best. When the smoke clears we'll ride with majority. Seems like everyone likes Frank's ideas so we might be rolling with that one.
2: We'll only consider Shawn's option if people want a change. If most people choose no change then no point in discussing $20. We might discuss a different split for the payout though.
|
2374208, frank's is cool by me Posted by thejerseytornado, Fri Oct-03-14 12:14 PM
payouts, screw losers. give that money to the top of the league. so go with the 480/240/60 or 500/220/60.

meh
|
2373561, What exactly is random btw for draft order? Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-01-14 11:16 AM
like is there an application where you can plug in the names and they'll split them into 4 groups?
And are people gonna complain about it like they do with random draft order lol?
I felt my idea was 'random' and still had transparency.
|
2373563, There are sites that randomize Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-01-14 11:22 AM
And it can be transparent as you can all see it happen. I can do like I do with the draft and announce the time/ask for witnesses.
I'm actually leaning more towards Frank's idea but with a few tweaks (I'd keep last years division winners in the same divisions and assign everyone else by 3yr avg...would keep a lil continuity).
|
2373564, oh we're totally going to get good teams clumped Posted by rob, Wed Oct-01-14 11:25 AM
random definitely doesn't guarantee fair. if we get 3 winners and a contender in a group of 4, we gonna just re-randomize? again? or play it as it lies.
either way, need to get it over with.
|
2373568, right...especially if we are going to stick with what we have for 3 years Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-01-14 11:31 AM
Or so...
I'd rather a system that has some rhyme or reason to it. Or at least looks fair. Lol
Think i'm going with what my alphabet joint
|
2373574, NOPE...randomize. stop tryna be "realistic" Posted by Basaglia, Wed Oct-01-14 11:36 AM
nothing worse than fantasy cats tryna play like we really owners and GMs...just pick your players and be quiet.
i already see it coming. y'all bout to bicker over this dumb shyt for days and then there'll be ANOTHER vote that only the MOST PRESSED among us care about and it's invariably gonna favor the MOST PRESSED dudes.
y'all need to chill, man. stop JOCKEYING for every bit of leverage. draft, work the wire and stop being pressed.
|
2373580, lol @ leverage Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-01-14 11:45 AM
If we are giving prizes for division and conf winners, its a very valid issue... last few years, the divisions/ conf been a bit uneven.
I mean, you're usually checked out by the race war anyway so I doubt you'd notice.
|
2373588, i actually don't care. i just want to move on. Posted by rob, Wed Oct-01-14 11:53 AM
but i know why folks want to make the change, and i just want to make sure everyone knows that there's no magic random button that's going to make it fair.
alphabetical actually looks surprisingly even (and psh, labeat has been good and TBO will keep getting better) right now...most randomized groupings will be worse.
but even if the balls bounce perfectly....someone will get a job or have a kid or work on a project or need to dote on a girlfriend and it will unbalance again.
|
2373593, Random isn't fair but it's random Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-01-14 12:04 PM
Next year we do it again.
Again I'm all for fuck conferences and divisions
Best teams move on- he'll reduce playoff teams
|
2373596, but what's good about random? Posted by rob, Wed Oct-01-14 12:21 PM
(note, i don't actually care in terms of it affecting teams but i think it's an interesting question)
i like divisions because i can't really pay attention to 15 teams and owner's styles. it would be okay if it was a keeper league and team personalities developed over time?
but since it's not...i like knowing ab and labeat and ceej's tendencies and i'll enjoy getting a feel for 3 new owners.
|
2373621, RE: but what's good about random? Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-01-14 12:44 PM
That it's random. The whole play where it lays hand you're dealt thing- similar to draft order.
In most my other leagues people don't really think twice about divisions. You get what you get and you don't get upset.
Of course this only works if you switch every year whih you seem to be against.
|
2373631, This league specifically rewards division and conf champs with Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-01-14 01:07 PM
money. if we weren't doing that, I wouldn't care about divisions being 'fair'.
|
2373646, Do we agree all 4th seeds will always suck and can't get better? Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-01-14 01:37 PM
Again fuck conferences and divisions spread the pot out to top finishers
Race to the top
|
2373626, How does your strategy differ depending in what division your in Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-01-14 12:53 PM
You draft based off your division? Do you play different lineups if Ceej likes to play rockets ball and jack 3s vs AB who slows down the tempo? Wtf I draft based on the league.
|
2373694, it's not about winning, it's about fun. Posted by rob, Wed Oct-01-14 04:39 PM
i can pay attention to the 4 teams in my division on a daily basis. i can know without scrolling through sports.ws that if dwight howard dropped 90 fp on someone and it wasn't on me, labeat is probably making ab sweat. that's fun for me.
i can't keep track of 16. if we did away with divisions, i'd just be minding my own game to game and maybe just watching the top spots instead of the lovable losers and grinders in the league.
i understand other people gain enjoyment from survivor from different sources, but that's how i feel. throw whoever in my division and i'll try to win it....i just don't want to be in a division full of losers who make it too easy.
|
2373585, Live draft order via google hangouts Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-01-14 11:50 AM
I'm on my phone so excuse the typos
Ab writes names puts them in envelope, opens envelope
Can we change the main payout at all? If so I propose 200 flat for second - fuck second.
Then that 20 can go towards loser award. I like that idea Still keeps pt nice for winner.
To sweeten it more the other 20 goes to champ for $500 flat for champ. Like I said, fuck second.
I want random division and re random every year. Or again I say fuck divisions and do 2 conferences, or even more revolutionary fuck divisions and conferences and the best teams make playoffs. I like that idea best. Who needs manufactured rivalries.
2 suggestions via blowhards- in that league best week writes updates. We don't have weeks in the same way as football but highest avg over x time period can do the write up.
Also easiest way I think to see faces and keep everyone involved even via offseason as some of us don't post on okp as much is to create a survivor facebook group for everyone who has facebook. We should definitely do it and I'll do it on my own even if you may it AB. Don't like shittalking award that's just gotta be organic. Facebook will help.

$500 winner $200 runner up $60 division winners $20 loser award
I could go for this. Everything else you typed is just tedious. Being a bit of a traditionalist, I like the structure and until the NBA deems divisions & conferences unnecessary, I'm probably gonna ride with that. And personally, I don't like changing the divisions every year. Maybe every 2-3 seasons if there's some imbalance.

2376669, note that i have never received a top 5 pick in TEN YEARS... Posted by illmattic, Sat Oct-11-14 12:21 PM
not once... thats ridiculous
i get fucked mercilessly by this draft order every single year. not having top 5 is fine, assuming i dont continue to get picks in the middle to bottom in each consecutive round which is what always seems to happen. it's been irritating me for a while
picks 9, 10, 8 this year in the 1st, 3rd, 5th.. fantastic. throw me a bone for once.

2376510, Can we start drafting or do I have to wait? Posted by Cenario, Fri Oct-10-14 10:58 AM

You do this every year. I got no reason to start this draft early.
We get it, you're a premature ejaculator but some of us prefer that long stroke.
Dudes are still getting hurt in preseason and i always put the draft out later for that reason because injuries drastically change the draft. They also make the strategies much more interesting. For someone who always bitches about us being able to IR drafted players, you do yourself no favors by always wanting to start early.
This year neither will change. Deal with it.

2377735, No, I just don't like to draft before most of the preseason is over Posted by auragin_boi, Tue Oct-14-14 09:49 AM
I like the draft to be swift which is why I've been very open to the Live Draft.
Like Basa said, we might as well start the draft right after the Draft and FA frenzy...in say August with a 72hr time limit. The only reason these guys want to start early is because of impatience.
SOME might have schedule conflicts but they've known the projected start for almost a month now. We pushed it up early last year because VERY early in the announcement of the draft start, multiple guys negotiated a different start. Very few expressed the same sentiment this year.
Friday is 3 days away. No biggie.

No, I'm acting like a grown man that doesn't wanna spend the better part of 3 days nurturing a draft because half the league is in meetings and didn't set contingencies. It's been 7 yrs under my helm, I know how it goes. Getting 16 people all on one accord for a 12 round draft was impossible last year. What makes you think it is all of a sudden? We started Friday and finished Sunday last year. I'm hoping for similar results.
>if yall serious about this shit..jus start it and get the shit >over with...or EVERYONE block out two fucking days on the >weekend and get it over with in 2 days...all this no time >limit...8 hour shit is fucking dumb as fuck
I'm serious about starting the draft when I said it was gonna start.
Next year I'm tempted to not do any post on the league and just set up the league, do the draft order and start the draft all on the same Friday.

Long stroke = being patient to see how things pan out vs wanting to get it over with. I would be VERY upset if I drafted Kevin Durant without preseason being halfway over and he'd be down 2+ months. Regardless of this asinine argument people throw out there EVERY year to justify their impatience because "the draft is the most fun part of the league", preseason MATTERS just like FAgency MATTERS. Some guys are in new situations or are recovering from injuries from the prior year or get injured. As commish, I believe we should all be able to START the season with a healthy roster or as close to a healthy roster as possible. Once the official games start, luck of the draw goes into effect.
If people stopped focusing on the draft being the most fun and actually worked to make the entire SEASON fun, this whole stupid stigma would chill.

That was the reschedule date genius. Last year Rob and Mat had severe scheduling issues and then you chimed in. A few other guys said they wouldn't mind so we moved the date up. Find the year prior, it was later for the exact same reasons I'm saying now. >You could argue that injuries make strategies more interesting >whenever you draft it doesnt really matter. We could start a >week into the season injuries wil factor in somehow.
^^^1-There's no strategy if you draft a healthy guy and he gets injured before he plays ONE game for you. The draft is over. 2-And why would we start a week into the season? Dumb.
>LMAO at bitching. Putting up suggestions to improve the >league? I put em up there hope people latch on but if not I >dont cry. I also been complaining to fix the volleyball rule >for years. Nobody does it. I just keep playing volleyball.
EVERY season you bring up the same points with no traction: No IRing drafted players, Move up the draft date, No volleyballing for sucky teams (at least early in the season).
You don't have ton of support for these things otherwise they would have changed permanently already. Again, the only reason last year's draft was moved up was a few extreme scheduling conflicts and league support of it. No volleyballing would be cool but we can't manage it fairly and effectively.
And yes, to complain about the same things over and over knowing they won't change = bitching.

Why dont we just wait til the last days before the season then? Injuries happen they happen every year. We've had to deal with Durant like situations. All kinds of random shit.
>If people stopped focusing on the draft being the most fun and >actually worked to make the entire SEASON fun, this whole >stupid stigma would chill. >
It is what it is. I play the whole season but the way the league is there are advantages and disadvantages. You dont have a true weekly matchup liek other fantasy leagues, and you play guys over a long course of time. That allows people to just set lineups and cruise. Not your fault just the way it is.
The draft is the most fun because its a time when all of us are active and talking shit and making predictions.
>>Second I need to Address your terrible lying or memory. >>"I always put the draft out later for that reason" >>http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=8&topic_id=2245939&mesg_id=2245939&listing_type=search >> >>^^^checks date from last year.

At some point people get injured its sports. KD couldve get injured the day after we draft this year starting this Friday.
You have injuries we know about before and it makes it interesting to see when the injured guys will get hurt. Then you have your post draft injuries that make or break you.

Again. the way our league works guys dont really have much of an opinion. People never want to change anything until the last minute. How many big changes have we passed in this league? Its a big league, lots of our guys arent as active posters anymore -- we havent really passed any major changes in years.

Guess not.
Maybe we need some more survivor housecleaning season 1 style.
Finally, Im gonna jab about getting this started every year. If it works, good. If not I dont really care. Thats just me having fun and being excited about the league getting started.
You wanna talk about Insanity - its you getting mad at the same playful jabs every year. Maybe I forgot how annoying it was to be commissioner. I'd tell you to pass it on but I dont know who else will give a shit all year.

>Why dont we just wait til the last days before the season >then? Injuries happen they happen every year. We've had to >deal with Durant like situations. All kinds of random shit.
Actually, I'd prefer a 2 day draft the weekend before the season starts, after the ENTIRE preseason. That's what I really want to be honest but again, impatience (usually by roughly 4-5 guys every year) makes me consider an earlier date (usually one week early).
Again, as Commish, I'd like us to all start with as close to a healthy roster as possible. Injury happens DURING the season, it is what it is. No one should be forced to deal with a disadvantage because we couldn't control ourselves. A rational league wouldn't even want to draft until preseason was over.
>The draft is the most fun because its a time when all of us >are active and talking shit and making predictions.
^^^This is the problem. If we all did this the entire season (and it use to be that way) the league wouldn't be reduced to 'a great draft experience and a ho-hum season' experience. The GM's make a league.
>Nope. You said ALWAYS.
Yup. I ALWAYS do. I didn't say we ALWAYS have a later draft. I said I ALWAYS set it later. I did that, we changed it based on the factors I explained. *shoulder shrug*
>At some point people get injured its sports. KD couldve get >injured the day after we draft this year starting this Friday.
Yup. But we don't have to draft him top 10 if he's down 2 months (which would definitely happen if he was drafted early in preseason). Having that knowledge AFTER preseason finishes and BEFORE the season starts would make so much sense (and a big difference for WHEN he was drafted). 2 Months is like half our season. I'm sure ALL of us would rather not have to lose our 1st rounder for half the season BEFORE THEY PLAY ONE GAME FOR US.
>You have injuries we know about before and it makes it >interesting to see when the injured guys will get hurt. Then >you have your post draft injuries that make or break you.
The only injuries that should matter are in season injuries. No one should be penalized BY the draft FOR the draft. It's always been stupid to me how you want to draft earlier.
>Again. the way our league works guys dont really have much of >an opinion. People never want to change anything until the >last minute. How many big changes have we passed in this >league? Its a big league, lots of our guys arent as active >posters anymore -- we havent really passed any major changes >in years.
Major changes we've made since I've been Commish (voted on in the offseason and passed by majority vote):
-Division realignment -Brand Rule (regarding the pick up of long injured players and eventually led to...) -IR -2 fee increases -Live draft in addition to the snail draft -Scoring changes (misses being worth -0.3, Makes gaining an extra 0.3)
Change happens and most of us are usually involved.

2377822, When I announced my suggestion for the draft last month Posted by auragin_boi, Tue Oct-14-14 11:45 AM
That's the cue for anyone who doesn't jibe with it to state their case. It's what we did last year.
I re-stated the time in the second post. No one took issue with the time.
Now that the draft order has been set, everyone is screaming CHANGE THE DRAFT DATE.
If it was a problem, why wasn't it prior to the draft order being set?
As Commish, there is a bit of 'judge and jury' decision making I have to do. Sometimes for the the good of the league in spite of the league. When we draft is one of those things. Only reason I've been given to start the draft is because guys don't want to wait. If I'm weighing that response vs everyone having as close to a healthy roster as possible to start the yr, I'm rolling with healthier roster.
Rondo, Beal and now KD are all major players that have gone down. Some secondary guys are hurt now too (Felton, Swaggy P, KCP, Kemba). Letting most of that play out before we commit roster spots is much better than YAY FUN TIME DRAFT EARLY to me.

2378146, I don't think we ever move to facebook fully Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-15-14 11:21 AM
This is an okp league.
I can't remember if any of the blowhards aren't in facebook but it's fine if you're not in the group. Just the people who are can also talk some shit there.

|
2378150, i think losing causes some folks to be quiet Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-15-14 11:29 AM
we're at the point where half of the league has a ring. It was cool to pop off when only a fraction of the league has won but now alot of ya'll got rings, so if you ain't got one...its kinda like you just wanna fall back and let the chips fall.
At least that's how i feel sometimes, but looking at the list shawn posted kinda backs up that up...or maybe its just coincidence.
|
2378173, We've been at it for so long though, you'd think we Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-15-14 11:58 AM
would be MORE involved due to the familiarity and long seeded back and forths.
Real life gets in the way, I get that, but what made the first 5-6 seasons so much fun is the activity.
I don't want guys to play due to obligation or to take it for granted because that dimishes the quality.
OKP isn't a posting home for some, cool. But post here for this. This league is much more interesting when there's chaos. People use to start things up for no reason, was truly a battle royal.
No one has to be on here everyday but popping in a few times a week to take a steaming dump on someone or brag about a dominating win streak or reply to someone's trash talk makes all the difference.
If we need new blood, I'm with that. I have no problem cutting the two worst players and 2 least active participants in the posts. 4 new bloods would probably spice things up. A relegation league might do so also.
I dunno but it feels like we should be trying to make season 10 feel like the first few years.
|
2378176, sheeeit, i always said the 4 teams that miss the playoffs should pay more Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-15-14 12:09 PM
to get back in lol.
>If we need new blood, I'm with that. I have no problem cutting the two worst players and 2 least active participants in the posts
It would never get voted in so i stopped crying about it no shawn-o.
|
2378194, id be open to that Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-15-14 12:49 PM
I dont think worst teams get relegated
I think least active can if they dont meet a certain benchmark.
The thing is I think interest in joining this league is low (surprisingly) because it seems complicated.
Also tehres usually a learning curve for newbies
|
2378207, i think also that while the mainstream hasn't *quite* reached peak fantasy Posted by rob, Wed Oct-15-14 01:02 PM
the type of people who become backpack rap internet message board posters probably hit saturation with fantasy sports a decade ago. shit like fan duel is on the upswing because it's more like facebook games and traditional betting, which gives folks their popcorn fix.
|
2378210, yea at the end of the day this is just a 50 buck league Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-15-14 01:08 PM
|
2378217, yeah i be on the daily fantasy tip now...so not much interest here Posted by LAbeathustla, Wed Oct-15-14 01:12 PM
except talking shit to ab...

2378266, What's funny though is that Fanduel is JUST like Sports.ws Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-15-14 03:18 PM
>The thing is I think interest in joining this league is low >(surprisingly) because it seems complicated. > >Also tehres usually a learning curve for newbies
So if you play there, Survivor wouldn't be some super foreign thing.
A few math tweaks and it's basically the same.
|
2378189, I don't think that's it Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-15-14 12:39 PM
Just those guys I posted. They were never super brash or outspoken but theo and boogs have had their rivalries. Matty too. They really only post on okp now in survivor and only when it's necessary.
Beathustla isn't as mad these days.
People just kinda moved on in life, for some people survivor is the only thing that even keeps them tied To okp

2378286, was wondering if it was you or Ern Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-15-14 03:49 PM
Frank dont think we can make 15 and 16 work without 26
|
2378303, I considered choosing your deal-- ran it through the simulator. Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Oct-15-14 04:16 PM
I like this deal more.
If I'd taken your deal and waited til the 90-something to take my fourth player, that'd REALLY be me saying I think I'm smarter than all of you, lol.
|
2378289, Frank's basically telling all of us he thinks hes smarter than us Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Oct-15-14 03:54 PM
and he can make up in the back end what hes giving up in the 2nd round
|
2378298, On the contrary... Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Oct-15-14 04:13 PM
... the reason why I value picking before other people for my anchor is because I'm afraid the people in this league are smart enough that they'd take all of my desired anchors before it fell to pick #7.
|
2378308, yo, there's 6 guys that i would want at 7th. Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-15-14 04:24 PM
the 5 i texted you will obviously by gone by then.
I hope I get who I really want but will be okay if i have to settle.
I'm really banking on one of the dudes i have in the bottom of the first falling to me at 26.

2378559, Thanking him for his payment while those who haven't paid Posted by auragin_boi, Thu Oct-16-14 03:37 PM
yap about a draft date that hasn't come yet is tough talk?
So I suppose all this 'let's draft now' fluff is tough talk too huh because the OP clearly says 10/17, Noon EST. I mean, you can pay BEFORE the deadline. Can't draft UNTIL the deadline.
Be consistent Ceej. Not.Like.This.Fam.
