Just wondering if anyone has any interest in Semien

New draft (OWO Slow Draft II) to start as soon as we all hit 3 nominations in Slow Draft I, please join: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=136
-
**Re. SLOW DRAFT** I made a little spreadsheet to try to keep track of how many nominations everyone has. If you already have 3, just hold up a little bit, let's get everyone up to 3 and then I'll pause it and create a new auction (with the right settings) and we'll pick it up from there.

Slow draft starting Thursday, sign up for couchmanagers / our draft at https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=91.
For more details, go to https://discord.com/channels/902279621238726697/902292523119157278/950146350341820467

Hey all, don't forget to fill out this form as we try to schedule a few more live draft sessions (https://forms.gle/yGY5zX9xwa8un8zv8), but also please sign up for couchmanagers, we'll probably need to do some slow drafting to complement our rosters. Thanks!

*couch managers password is owo2022
-
Also, please sign up / join our slow draft room on couch managers : https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=91
We will be moving to that starting next week. Join us on Discord to help us sort out the details. So far we are going with 3 simultaneous picks, 6 hour time limits. Still not 100% sure on the time windows (for example, we can't start all picks at our usual draft time because they would end at 2 am for Christian in Berlin). We might go with staggered start times.
-
Reminder that next draft session is scheduled for Sunday, February 27, 2 pm EST (12 pm MST / 8 pm CET / Feb 28, 6 am AEDT). See you there!
-
Please fill out the draft poll here: https://forms.gle/QnhMpc1Q28g7fnPU6
We are hoping to get one or more 1-hour sessions in over the next week or so. This will probably be our solution to fill out most of our roster spots, but if we have to we might go to a longer session on the last weekend of March.
-
My apologies everyone, but our draft session tomorrow is canceled. Let's get together next week to figure out if we should reschedule another live draft or go to a slow draft -- there's supposed to be CBA meetings every day starting Monday, so we might have a better idea as to what's happening with the season by Tuesday or so.

Yes, the message app thingy we use! Thank you, Sam! lol

And by Slack, Icaro means Discord

Hello folks, I just took over the open team in your league. My name is Jeff and I'll be managing the Eastside Hanger Bangers. I'm located in Detroit, MI; a fan of the Detroit Tigers; and a general baseball geek. I'm looking forward to playing with you all this season and getting to know everyone a bit better. I've looked through the message board and it looks like a discord was created. If someone could post an invite link I'd appreciate it. None of the links I've found have worked.
-
Hey mate, I’m looking forward to the chance to party with Marty. Welcome

Hey league, please welcome Marty aka Joe Foy's Disciples, he just took over for Dynasty Kings. Marty, here's the link to our Discord, let us know if you have any questions. Draft is set for January 29th. https://discord.gg/Q3ASb6tx

Hey everyone, Dynasty Kings has dropped out of the league. We are considering redoing the draft in January, please vote or give us your feedback on the #league-discussion channel on discord: https://discord.com/channels/902279621238726697/902292462725390406/917965279294791700

Glad to be here guys. Matt, 32, Tampa. Director of Operations at a Telecom company. Ready for Saturday!

Last call!
Ben, are you with us?
We've been trying to get in touch to make sure you're on for the draft and for our 2022 season :D
If you are, give us a shout by 5 pm CST.
(Trying it one last time, just in case our emails are going to his spam folder or something like that)
-
Ok everyone, we have our own server on Discord. I've sent out invitations through Mike's Discord server, but for anyone who didn't see it or wasn't there yet, here is the link: https://discord.gg/3cKXStB5. So far we've got a general channel, a league discussion channel, a draft discussion channel and a league announcements channel. See you all there!
-
I agree with Pythagorean, it's better to get a new Server for the League.
-
Yep, that's it. Are you seeing the Ottoneu World Order channel?
-
I clicked on the discord link and it took me to Sparkletime Fantastic. Am I in the right place?
-
I have access now, just sent a hello message.
Put it this way, this time next year Mike may decide Ottoneu isn’t for him, or just not have time for it, and then we have to make a new Discord server for the league and lose all the history because he can’t just pass admin onto someone else as he uses the server for other things.
-
Hey Matt, not against that idea at all, like I said, I'm a layman, so I'll defer to you guys on this issue. But right now we've got 10 of us on Mike's server already, so let's try to use that for a bit, and hopefully we can figure out why you don't have access (he says he's assigned everyone who joined Ottoneu roles). Then if need be we'll set up our own down the road a bit (or sooner of course, if you can't join).
-
Also, I’ve joined but have no access to view anything
-
Happy to join, but it would be better to make a purpose made server for the league seeing as its super easy and free, that’s my 2c
-
Ok everyone, please click on the link Mike posted (again: https://discord.gg/FGrRQNep) to go to our Discord channel, where we can have more real-time conversations about our league, MLB, rules/best practices, the draft, trades, questions, and talk a little trash (but keep it classy, of course). See you there!
-
Click this and things should happen: https://discord.gg/FGrRQNep
-
Remembering that we have this spreadsheet with everyone's contact and team info, it might come in handy for the invites? Also, feel free to edit it and keep it updated. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HhMH2qOwZ_7Tiqzu5cg2fYYayyEH1ah6995JyTqNuXE/edit?usp=sharing
-
Alright, so let's go with Discord. But becacuse I pretty much live in the stone age of skype+email and know nothing about Discord servers, I'll let you guys (Mike, Nick & Sam) sort out whether we should use one of your servers or start a new one, if the paid server boosts are nice to have, whatever other options/channels we should set up... then if you need any help deciding, reach out to me or our co-commissioner Ben (Dorning Gray Sox). Cool?
-
As stated, I have an existing server that would be easy enough to use. Right now it's being used mostly to keep in touch with some former coworkers and also for a fantasy football league that I am the commissioner of, but it would be easy enough to segregate this group into it's own space. Let me know if that's something we'd like to go for, as I did some tinkering and I think i have at least a single text channel set up and an accompanying role. I'll defer to Icaro on the final say
-
Big yes for Discord. I’m pretty sure I have some paid server boosts or whatever left over in my account to help out with it. I manage the server for the dynasty league I’m in with Nick and Matt and it’s super simple. We have channels for general discussion, league-specific discussion, as well as a commish-only channel to segregate out key announcements for the league. And a channel for beer too.

Discord or Group.me are pretty good.
-
I’m keen for a discord server. We use one for another dynasty league and it’s great. Setting up a new server is trivial as well, plus it makes it super easy if we want to get onto a group voice/video chat for the draft.
-
I'm up for anything that isn't the league message board. I have a Discord server of my own and could probably set up some channels and roles for the task if people wanted to go that route.
-
I'm guessing everything else won't really matter until the season kicks off, and we have until then to decide how lenient or strict we want to be. On that note, what should we do about league comms? I've seen that some of you joined the Ottoneu slack, but remember that not everyone wanted to....someone talked about setting up a discord, do we still want do that? (sorry I forgot right now who wanted what) (2/2)
-
Thanks for posting that Sam, I'd only read some conversation about it on Slack but hadn't actually read the article. I agree with pretty much everything on there, the only caveat I'd make is that since we're all rookies in this format we can be a little lenient on having a full lineup or the roster legal at all times (also helps we're not H2H, where not having a lineup filled out can really mess with balance). But we should definitely enforce nominations at the draft. (1/2)
-
Icaro, I don't know if you saw this but I came across it today and it's a good read: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-league-best-practices/

Yeah welcome Eric, we now have all four US time zones represented, which is the way it should be in our league!
I'm in São Paulo, Brazil, but I lived for many years in Long Island, NY, which is my excuse for also being a long-suffering Mets fan. Those frustrations aside, I'm really enjoying this postseason so far.
-
Hello Eric, welcome to the league. My name is Christian. I'm the guy from Berlin, Germany, and I'm a Mets fan. But let's rather not talk about it. Have a nice season.
-
The 13th is good for me.
-
14th fine for me
-
Cancel that, I’m an idiot. 14th works I’m pretty sure
-
14th doesn’t work for me - that’s my weekend on at work, but the week after works for me
-
Hello Eric, welcome. I believe everyone here is new to the Ottoneu format, so it’ll be a fun learning experience for everyone! I’m in Denver, CO, and a Rockies fan.
