The 3 vacant teams did not pay their $20 fee for the season and the system abandoned them last night/this morning. Same thing happened across all the leagues last year, though I seem to recall it was earlier.

Any chance we could get a draft date figured out soon (ish)?

Only one of the 4 left not to allocate their arbitration money have gotten on the site in November. The idea of Ottoneu is to play year round. They clearly are not.

Yes, I played in multiple leagues with Brent back in GDR. I am pretty sure he was a beta tester along with me as well back in the early days, I think they launched back in 2005 or so. We joined public league 131 in the first year, and the second year I was the first to sign up and got saddled with being commish and now here we are 17 years later lol.
-
Brent was really good people. I started playing GDR with Brent the first year and played fantasy baseball with him in one way or another until his passing. Terrific guy.
-
Yeah, I wrote to him a bit and he wrote that in some of the Rotisserie Leagues he was in the players used to go to a least one game a year together. It was probably back in the day when you know everyone it wasn't played online.

i played GDR with him that whole time too. i spoke with him on the phone a few times. just a gracious and kind person. i still have the last email we shared right before he passed. he was going to join my fantasy football league, but got too sick. weird that i never met him in person, but built a solid friendship thru fantasy baseball and football.

I was in Gameday with Brent for 13 years. A great guy, competitor and lover of Fantasy Baseball. I thought that some here actually met him in person. Am I right?

Brent was a guy who many of us played fantasy baseball with for a number of years in a game called gamedayritual.com and came over to this one. Great, great guy. Passed away from cancer. We decided to honor him by changing the name.

I was in another league with "him" and no else was kicked out like in this league. So if it wasn't for collusion . Then what else could it be?

In Community Niv mentioned that it happened because of breaking TOS reasons. Beyond that he isn't talking. I don't know that we will ever find out.

Welcome to both new owners and thank you for taking over the teams. If you have not played H2H before, it is not that much different but there are some nuances, such as the max number of starts for SPs per week and that there is not a max games per position or max IP that is found in the Fangraphs points leagues. Feel free to ask questions as they come up.

Greetings. Just took over the team formerly known as JetBlackPope. Never played H2H before but I guess I'll figure it out.

Not entirely clear. Niv said the owner(s) were caught cheeting and violated Ottoneu's Terms of Service.

DAMN!! no wonder he kept winning and winning! i noticed that his teams all had the same name of shoopy and they all did very well.

TOS is Terms of Service

I went to Community and this was all that was posted by Nivsham "We just had to ban some users for cheating and breaking our TOS. If a team was abandoned by the system, you should feel free to find a replacement manager." What is TOS? I finished 2nd last year. Does that mean I at the title.lol
-
Probably all accounts owned by the same guy
-
All of Shoopy's teams are now listed as available to be claimed. As is JBP and another team in a different league tht Shoopy was in. So it wasn't just in this league.

So apparently the owners of Jet Black Pope and Death to Shoopy were just punted from ottoneu for cheating. We have two teams now that are available to be filled.

otto - i meant loophole in the sense that its a way around real baseball to gain an advantage. i used to run a fantasy sports business and put those in all my games for people to figure out. some stayed, but some didnt.

welcome! this is a great league!
-
Welcome to the new owner.

My real point was that it's not a "loophole". Niv and the Ottoneu crew put it there for the reasons stated. Some may not like the rule but its not a loophole. A loophole was when they started H2H there was no limit on your IP or number of starts. That made even average to below average SPs super valuable because if team A could get 20 starts in a week but Team B could only get 10 starts, team A was very likely to win. They did end up closing that loophole with the max starts per week

ZIps...I appreciate your passion and thoughts. Not sure if giving some teams more money to spend than others would be helpful. It could allow teams at the top to snipe FAs that might be helpful to building teams who don't get the extra $. Trading high priced players doesn't seem to be a problem since you can always even out the $. Also, we hear every yr. about a MLB team that didn't do much at the deadline b/c the owner wouldn't increase the budget.

otto- its still not baseball. why not give teams extra fa money based on the teams performance that season, similar to how gm's will ask owners for extra money to go after a trade target to put them over the top. think the scene in moneyball. that would REALLY open up the trade market at the deadline. teams at the top get players they need and teams at the bottom trade high price guys without having to eat salary. that opens them up to possibilities to improve as well. just a thought
-
The manager for Rhymes with Orange has had to step away from the game due to personal events. I've abandoned his team and it is available to be claimed on the available teams list.
-
Maybe? That team must be cursed...
