Ernie, Shawn, Matty, and myself are in.

LABeat, Robe, and TJT all expressed interest but have yet to sign up.

Sign up info is either in your inbox or in the other Survivor post.

Here's what we need:
1. an even number of teams, preferably 8 or more
2. a time to draft before Tuesday

Cenario is whining via text, so I reckon he's out. Ryan may be in but he's out of town and probably couldn't draft.

This is an awesome opportunity to play with draft options and to, y'know, do Survivor dynasty style.

I reckon we could open it up to outside parties if necessary-- especially if AB is considering booting inactive members in the offseason, as it'd give us an idea of interested people and if those interested people are any good at all.

What say you, Survivors? And when would you want to draft?

Would the site even allow us to wait? If that makes it easier to work out a draft and not rush. 8 is enough, would make for some fun stacked teams. Let's not overthink it, I reckon.

If we can get the interested parties to simply sign up, I feel like the odds of all of us having a few hours before Tuesday night are probably pretty strong.

I'd be fine with 8. I just want at least 8. Figured that'd be wiser than *shudder* 6.

Marquis Teague gonna pay dividends for me somehow.

I'll shoot you an inbox.

i can get him in tonight if you want.. im gonna see him later

If we can fill it with members or former members, that'd be ideal, and I think if everyone who has committed signs up we should be good to go. But if we're looking at an odd number, I'll holler and we'll slide him in.

but i could just introduce him and im sure he would post shit.. but no worries - just reminding u

I'll let you know.

A. Tomorrow (Sunday, probably too late to notify everyone and unrealistic)
B. Monday (potentially doable, depending on people's work schedules)
C. Tuesday (we could theoretically get it in before games start?)
D. Sometime during this week (while I realize we'll probably have to do this option, I would like to do it ASAP to miss as few games if any as possible)

tmrw also ok, but not ideal at all

It's only funny till someone gets mad. Then it's hilariou

i like the idea but i don't want to drag it down by nt being able to be in the draft. too bad it's not 3 weeks ago.

We may draft tomorrow or Tuesday as a bunch of people seem in for it!

It doesn't really work for me, but I plan on drafting primarily using contingency anyway.

and use that time limit thing you said youd use

Couple speed sessions. Worst case we're done by Wednesday.

Plus if a couple of guys can't roll on Monday then that's gonna completely kill their clock.

Plus one or two guys who signed up haven't responded re: draft time.

I think Ryan should sign up soon, then we'd have 8 and can be ready to go. I just want to make sure Matty and LA Beat are on board with Tuesday.

I have some people interested in a brief window, finding two hours in which everyone can draft, by contingency or otherwise, and others interested in doing the "individual timer method." Any preference?

Will sign up when I get home in the next few hours.

If everyone is active we should be able to knock it out quick. I can do a couple midday speed sessions as well. But I wouldnt worry about finishing before Tuesday night tip off.

I can do that.

With only 8 guys if everyone is active, should move quick. Reevaluate when you need to.

I guess were running this kind of as a beta but its hard cause we wont necessarily add new teams if its a dynasty

and why i haven't joined yet. would rather draft late this season when i have time, but i know a lot of y'all actually do have time.

i never have daytime time. i only get by in regular survivor drafts because they're slow and getting more predictable.

i am a teacher like a couple others and my windows are limited

... over the next 36 hours or so?

if we're drafting after 5 pm pacific i could do that any day but wednesday.

i'd assumed we were doing some survivor bullshit where we draft only during times when people work.

At least, that's what it seems like people are into. The people who are responding, anyhow.

If you want in under those conditions, sign up and I'll find a 12th (probably Matinho's guy).

i dont mind 1 night

12 teams seems way better than 10

We'll probably draft gradually over the next day or two. I'm going to set a lot of contingency picks just to be on the safe side, to try to keep the thing moving while I'm at work tomorrow.

I'm actually heading to work now, so if you have any questions, email me: russellhainline@gmail.com

My bad, guys. New to this commissioner thing. I hadn't finished setting up everything necessary before the draft started.

Does anyone have any complaints about me restarting it? Can we make the sister league the one without massive amounts of bitching, or am I doomed to receive an AB level of outrage?

>Does anyone have any complaints about me restarting it?

You have 15 roster spots, by necessity for the dynasty format (functions as IR/stashing young prospects/etc). And we can only draft 12 on WS.

So we'll need to do three rounds on OKP after the draft is finished. I'm totally open for suggestions for the most fair way to do this.

>So we'll need to do three rounds on OKP after the draft is
>finished. I'm totally open for suggestions for the most fair
>way to do this.

13th and 14th round snake style, 15th a lightning round.

Or we could just do the 15th the opposite order of the 1st round, if no one objects.

Which any of our experienced members should be doing. Let the new guys know.

Edit: Well, 20 I guess.

I kid.

1 Richmond
2 South Texas
3 Springfield
4 Harbor City
5 Duval County
6 Los Angeles
7 Lefferts Gardens
8 San Diego
9 East River
10 philadelphia
11 s.i
12 Houston HardHead

Gotta work all day tomorrow but I wanna keep it moving.

Warrens gonna bang his head on the computer trying to figure it out

Step 1: Add a player to your contingency
Step 2: Save your contingency
Step 3: he's drafted

i don't think we've discussed it, but have we thought about how we're doing the dynasty parts of this? it will definitely affect the later rounds.

why didn't i get second pick in real survivor.

RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm scared.

otherwise, especially w/ 12 teams w 15 slots.

say every year we have to drop half the roster. or you can't keep players for more than X years, or you can't have a sum total of X years on your roster at a given time (so if you have a max of 15 years of "on roster experience" you could keep everyone for one year, or keep 5 players for 3 years, or 3 players for 3 years and 6 for one, etc.)

but we don't have to figure that out now, we just need TO GET TO DRAFTING.

Just cause a team will stay dominant forever?

I dont know if we should have 15 slots.

I think we should think about add drops- Maybe limit those somehow.

Worst team gets top draft pick or integrate our own lottery

It will help the worst teams have a reason to stay active.

As for all the other stuff, I don't really see a reason to make it more complicated. We're all active players-- don't like someone on your team? Trade or drop them. I'm obviously open to suggestion but I just don't see the benefit for further complication.

attentiveness slacks off if you don't have more roster turnover after the first draft.

Most dynasty leagues (few) ive been a part of arent full rosters.

But the ease of full rosters intrigues me....though how much dynasty are we looking at if we can add drop at will?


What if there was a whole waivers process for adding/signing a new player?

There will almost certainly be rookies or second-year guys who are clear future assets who you can't realistically start this year yet you may want to keep on your squad. Same for injured players.

There will probably be a couple of win-now pieces on every team, and teams should have the freedom to add/drop to adjust those pieces to their heart's desire imo. I don't really see how limiting the number of add/drops would encourage owners to stay active.

I was in a free dynasty league on WS with a ton of rules and regulations (with Shawn and AB), and I bailed on that. It seemed like the owners weren't around too much, and it was too much work.

I'm also in a free dynasty league in which you keep every player and only draft rookies the following year-- as simple as it gets-- which is a lot of fun because the owners stay active. There are maybe one or two who don't do much more other than keep their lineups set, but most of the league shit talks, offers trades, etc. Teams that are bad try to collect assets for the future by trading win-now guys to teams in title contention, etc. Keeps it fun.

Just depends on who is in the league. I think because we have mostly Survivor guys (and guys who post on OKP a good amount), it will stay pretty active. And if someone seems inactive, we can always figure out a way to boot them and give a new more active member incentive to join.

Matty texted him a little while ago, so hopefully he'll get on it soon.

I should be able to set more than 20 contingencies. It would make everyone's life (and draft) so much easier.

and not drop everyone

but you should be able to lol

They said its not a request that they have gotten too often and the more names they allow contingency to hold the slower the page would be...but they said they'd look into it. You should send them an email. They'll respond.

as in, how many guards, forwards etc. once i know that i can pick.

>as in, how many guards, forwards etc. once i know that i can
>pick.

However you want. You need 96 G minutes, 96 F minutes and 48 C minutes.

Side note - it's pretty clear who the non Survivor owners are, smh

It's only funny till someone gets mad. Then it's hilariou

though if i remember maybe Longo can fix on back end

It'll still say Machado in the draft, but it says Dirk on his roster.

I'm only getting home from work now. I can take a gander at it.

saved 40 contingencies. hit save, ws said they saved, saw it all.

absolutely i had more than 20 names on their. i hit the save button, the page reloaded, and all those names were still there. silly me.

i know that ws's awfulness is part of the charm for y'all, but, silly me, i expect a web site who's business is fantasy sports to be able to go more than 20 names deep before it defaults to a guy who didn't play in the nba last season. not going to be a problem, since i'm not doing any more contingencies.

max contingency is 20.

>saved 40 contingencies. hit save, ws said they saved, saw it
>all.

Had Machado as a deep sleeper for 2022.

Sigh. *throws up the Warren Coolidge Signal*

So we're waiting for him to pick.

I sent him an email to the email he used to start his OKP account (so it's probably defunct) and an inbox on OKP.

We just have to wait.

Today is a Friends & Family Sale at the Karl Kani Store.

... that this joke STILL makes laugh after all these years?

me to refill my contingency...

scott machado?? y'all drafting soccer players in a basketball league...lol.

Can I halve him? ;)

He has a tentative role. But might get "recruited" over in a few years.

please?

Still, we've made some good progress here. We could probably finish by tonight.

chess club, baseball team practice, science demos for parents

in my quick picks it's felt like there's a lot slimmer pickings but maybe it's because we're still avoiding a lot of 30 year olds. i know i'd have picked more older dudes but i don't think i need the minutes.

when we do do those 13-15th guys are they just held in reserve and not part of our active rosters for points purposes? and we use add drop if we want to call someone up?

any rules about how that works?

They exist on your roster, but they are grayed out-- they can't get you any points, even if you're short on minutes from your top twelve guys.

In order to "call them up," you simply drag them to an active top twelve spot in your roster. Whoever is twelfth will automatically turn gray and be "inactive" for fantasy purposes.

But it's not like the Survivor IR or anything. Nothing nearly that confusing. If you don't want a guy in your top twelve, or he's on IR, or you're just stashing a young prospect, just drag him to the bottom of your lineup.

Then the season can start.

y'all weird. i should have been fine.

my team is young and filthy but i assume lots of the other teams are young and filthy.
