2016 Season

[iam90sbaby 2,556]

Since it is the right thing to do, if Erosion wants the team, it should be his.

 

That being said, I would like to see fandaddy get a team in this league. It seems like there are 4-5 active members, and everyone else just shows up when they happen to think about it.

[Voltaire 5,280]

I vote for Erosion.

 

Mostly because I feel fandandy is a stupid alias of someone. Not necessarily Wonder, but no way it's not an alias.

Please don't go there.

 

Fandandy has over 2000 posts and was there for us at the last minute when nobody else wanted the team. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for stepping up when nobody else would. If we give the team back, he will receive a PM the next time we do have an opening to give a thumb up or down before I post an opening in the forum.

Beggars can't be choosers but.... is there any way to get my Kicker back?

Sorry, but I'm going there.

 

It's stinks of alias. Johnson Rose had a lot of posts, too. And he was an alias. This guy feels like that. I'm pretty sure fandandy even said at one point he was an alias of someone, but I'm not going to go back and search. He showed up around the time of the GF meltdown, and he just reeks of all the aliases that were created at that time. Some were GF and some were not.

 

I don't like it...

[TheErosion 6]

To defend Fandandy,

 

He/she sent me a personal message apologizing for the confusion and offering to withdraw. I don't know much about Aliases on FFToday as I tend to read the forums way more than respond, but that was nice of him/her.

[Voltaire 5,280]

I feel like the fat girl who got asked out to the prom at the last minute just because the quarterback broke up with his cheerleader girlfriend only to have them kiss and make up as we all stood at the punch bowl. I hate this dress and I hate this focking prom and I hate my life and I'm gonna go home and eat some twinkies.

Sorry about this. That seems pretty accurate. You hold on too. I'm responsible for dragging you into this, you were there when I needed you and I'm still stand by keeping you. I want you in the league. I like Erosion and I'm not angry at him but he disappeared at the wrong time and forced my hand. We'll have things straight soon enough.

[Voltaire 5,280]

Beggars can't be choosers but.... is there any way to get my Kicker back?

 

It's complicated because he just got drafted but only because shotsup's timer expired. And that's further complicated because the site was down for a few hours. I know I couldn't access it for a long time.

 

Also, that wasn't my cut.

 

Eh... maybe I'll revert the draft. The guy after shotsup's pick is the one on the clock now.

[fandandy 3,313]

I'm glad you got it all squared away. Sorry Erosion if I screwed up your team in any way. I was going for a different kicker and thought by dropping Bailey I would receive an extra pick in the draft. I am glad you are getting your team back and would be interested in joining a NEW dynasty league at some point, minus Old Douche of course.

[Voltaire 5,280]

The site was down for many hours during which or soon after, Shotsup's timer expired and a pick 3.2 was assigned to him. It was MTSkiBum's pick at 3.3.

 

I reverted the draft one spot. The timer is now off and will remain off until Shotsup raises from his puddle of drool and booze and makes his pick.

You're a class act. Thanks. Sorry about how this all went down but you'll hear from me again.

[Voltaire 5,280]

I gave the team password to Erosion and also gave him back Dan Bailey.

[OldMaid 2,130]

If fandandy wants my team, he can have it. How about that?

 

I'm not going to be called a douche just because I happen to remember how things went down.

Thanks man.

Fwiw johnson rose never asked to join this league. He doesn't need to.

 

[WhiteWonder 2,716]

I think it may be time to revisit our bylaws and have some things concretely written down to avoid these issues in the future.

 

We may also want to discuss having a cut down deadline followed by about a week before the draft begins. Honestly having cut down deadline and draft start at roughly the same time can be confusing and is the cause of why we scrambled to find a new owner.

 

If cuts were due a week before draft, we could have had that week to find erosion before replacing him and could have allowed some wiggle room for the replacement owner to make their own cuts during that cushion week.

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

Tony homo is on the block for any rookie draft pick.

Please don't. You're very welcome here.

 

I do realize that Fandandy gets some grief over in the forums over his identity so that's nothing new and it followed him here.

 

I've got a story for you. We've got some people in this forum that'll remember / confirm it. A few years ago, Big Guy (under his old user name of Little Rusty) joined 12Geeks. Now, when he joined, I didn't post any objections publicly. I thought that would be inappropriate. But behind my computer screen, my reaction was along the lines of "Fock. What an ass! There goes the neighborhood." Check out his posts and draw your own conclusions. But regardless, he was in and as the year progressed, it turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. Whatever his posting leaves to be desired, Big Guy a first rate FF owner. Even though his team was injury plagued and near the bottom of the standings, he was active on trades and waiver wire and he scrapped and fought and built the team all season. It wasn't his fault all his team went to IR and some owners just give up but he was everywhere making moves. I loved playing with him and I wish all FF owners were like that.

 

Big Guy surprised me and he taught me a lesson such that I don't want grudges from the main forum to be here. The guy may be nuts but politics be d@mned, if he ever wanted to join this league, I'd be thrilled and I suspect when you found out what he had to offer, so would the rest of you. I like the energy of a guy fills my inbox full of trade offers. His positive attitude even in adverse circumstances. I can't say fandandy is like that but I can say that he's done right by me twice in the last few days. He did so with grace and class both times. I owe him a debt of gratitude and if he's not been burned out on us, and what transpired these last few days, he will be welcome here the next time we have an opening.

 

I don't like speculating but alias or no, he's not an alias of one of our fourteen now.

[Voltaire 5,280]

The board's been back up for a while now, where's shotsup?

[OldMaid 2,130]

So yeah... about Watson. He's definitely out for the season, but it's not letting me place him on IR.

 

And how does that work? Do I get an extra pick?

[shotsup 832]

Pick made.

Stay classy Volty.

Can't place a player on IR until their team does and it shows IR next to his name.

wait, stupid aliases arent welcome here.

[posty 2,666]

Voltaire I sent you a PM with a question...

[ROCKFORD 134]

Voltaire I sent you a PM with a question...

 

what was it?

[posty 2,666]

what was it?

Well I guess anyone could answer it... Silly me...

 

If I do a 2-for-1 deal (where I give up the two players), will I get an extra draft pick like at the end of draft or will I have to wait until waivers?

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

wait, stupid aliases arent welcome here.

I guess exceptions are made for pot smoking, disk golfing hippies from western montana.

It would make sense for the person you are trading with to throw in their last pick. It is not like they could use the pick if they do the 1 for 2.

its disc golf, and you forget pencil necked tele geek.

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

Tele skiing, you are a true hippy

 

 

I always wanted to learn. I skied Bridger Bowl so much that I got bored and took up snowboarding. If I had lived there another couple years I would have learned how to tele ski.

I just checked the Transaction Log and I offered Mark Ingram, Cecil Shorts, and my first rounder for for Cannibal Holocaust's 1.01 pick.

I also activated Charles and Ingram off of I.R.

Both of those things happened August 4th.

 

I made some pre-draft rankings on August 26th-ish but they got erased/edited. That's fine, just wanted to point out I did check in and was ready to draft, even if I was a day or two behind. Sorry about that.

 

I'm fine with the drops that someone else made (most are bums), other than dropping my only Kicker, and one I actually liked (Dan Bailey.)

Looks like this is all worked out.

 

I will just say this. I can verify that I did indeed receive at least one trade offer from The Erosion at some point in this off-season, just like he is saying here.

[Voltaire 5,280]

At the 1:55 mark? Is synchronized skiing an Olympic event?

[Voltaire 5,280]

Do this. Since their last pick vanishes when their roster hits 22, they should be willing to toss in in for free.

[Voltaire 5,280]

Watching the ppicks move after my 2.10, I wondered if trading away that 3.10 in the package for Flacco would come back to bite me in the butt. When Bruce Ellington and Carson Wentz went earlier in the round, I was more at peace. I'd have kicked myself if they slid. By the time that 3.10 came around, the choices Gary had available there were about what I was expecting.
