Hey everyone, I have claimed Akagi. My predecessor left an excellent roster behind, so I hope to extend the success realized last year. This will be my first time playing Ottoneu, but have been a heavy dynasty fantasy player, so I'm looking forward to the new season!

Hello everyone - I'm Steve - I claimed Abandoned. I'm a long time Fantasy Baseball guy - since 1988. My dad was a broadcaster for the Atlanta Braves for 33 years, so I have a love of baseball and baseball numbers. Looking forward to playing in your league.

Too many things going on in my life, got to bring down number of Ottoneu leagues, so please abandon this team.

Update: Ozzie has also been abandoned. Holding off on Akagi for the time being just in case someone has a prospective manager to take over before making it public.
-
League update. OPL messaged me and has now been marked as abandoned. Akagi has also stated that they would be leaving the league as well. If anyone knows someone interested in picking up a quality team, let me know and I can mark that team as abandoned as well to let the new owner take over as soon as possible. Once again, thanks to everyone for an active and successful season.
-
Glad I could get as close as it wound up being! Congrats to Meat Tornadoes. Hope everyone enjoys October baseball. If it helps for planning next season, I am planning to bow out and exit (cutting down to just my first Ottoneu league). Willing to stay on through arbitration setting or however works best. I imagine an Acuna led team will be in high demand. Thanks everyone for a fun season! Also I am glad to see that there were a lot of bidders on the last weekend, a healthy league!

Thanks! Really had some squeaky bum time down the stretch thanks to Akagi. Looks like we're set up for some fierce competition next year, but I don't intend to relinquish the crown without a fight!
-
Great race between the Meat Tornados and Akagi Junior High. Both teams played very well this year.
-
Congrats to Meat Tornadoes on a well-earned League Title! Very solid, well-rounded team that had staying power. Also, props to Akagi Jr. High for making it closer than anyone expected with a frenzied run down the stretch!
-
Personally, I don't get "auction spam" because I must've adjusted the settings that way years ago. Might just need to double-check that such things are under owners' control.
-
I hate to lose any owner but if the league isn’t for you then it’s probably for the best. I disagree that the auction board is “spam”. This is the time of year that guys are making moves and looking to the future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a good season and ask the league, if anyone else is looking to move on from the league, please let me know so I can look for new owners. Thanks everyone.
-
I’m quitting this league after this season. The auction spam is unbearable

Hey thanks, Glad to have a chance to jump into a long time league! I do like the challenge, kinda like letting everyone have a few days headstart, and let's see how it all shakes out in a month or two

Welcome to Akagi and Red October. Just wanted to say thanks for picking up these teams 4 games into the season. Sucks getting teams after the draft so I really do appreciate you guys taking on the challenge. If there’s anything you need from a commish standpoint, let me know. Good luck this season
-
Well the two of us who just picked up teams need players somehow

Sad, about those 2 guys. They were good owners when they were focused. Hope they bounce back and things brighten up
-
I have sent an email to both managers of Baseball Fever and Comfortable. If no roster adjustments are made by end of day I am going to abandon both teams and hopefully get new managers in asap. If you know anyone who’s interested, the teams are paid through the season and this would be a great chance for them to see if Otto is something they are interested in. I’ll keep everyone updated.
-
Thank you to everyone for taking the time on a Friday evening (Saturday morning) to get this draft in the books. Look forward to a great season and I want to wish everyone the best of luck. Let the cuts, auctions and trade proposals commence.
-
Want to start the draft as soon as we can get everyone logged on. Just trying to accommodate everyone as much as possible. Thanks for the cooperation.
-
Good to go! Thanks again, Chief, and signing off for real now.

I flagged this for Chief in DM, but it looks like the wrong kleborp was added by accident -- I DMed him the email for the correct username, so hopefully that should be fixed in time for the draft.

If we do 7 CT I'll probably only be to draft for the first 30min. If you can squeeze a 630CT start time it'd give me an hour if that's within the realm of possibilities
-
I personally have to close up shop today at work so I won’t be off until 5:30 and then I have a 30 minute drive. 6:30 would probably be the earliest I could be home and get all set up. Let’s not forget that Saigon is actually on Saigon time and doing what he can to make it. Is 7 a hard no?
-
Kleborp has been added to magnolias as a manager.
-
I can’t personally.. I am already pushing it trying to get up again before 6am here
-
Hey Chief any chance we can bump it to 5PM CT for me if that works fir everyone?
-
Thanks for the update! If you could add the user "kleborp" to Magnolias, he'll be taking the team over assuming the draft continues as planned tonight. Assuming that's the case, good luck to y'all this season!

Good afternoon all. On my lunch hour and looking back through all of the posts on the message board and messages to me directly, we have at least 9 managers that can draft tonight. I have nothing from Baseball Fever or Comfortable. At this point I say we stay the course. I would like to move the draft time up to 7pm central time to accommodate the west coast team that needed to draft between 2-6 pacific time. If this is a hard no-go for anyone please let me know. If not, see everybody at 7.
-
We plan on being in the draft room tonight. Looking forward to seeing you all there to get the league going

We’re trying to figure out what’s happening tomorrow night.
-
I guess I’m just curious about if I need to be available tomorrow night for a draft. I’ll probably cut a few guys and it looks like I could use a catcher and maybe some pitching but overall the team is solid.
-
Welcome to the new owner of Abandoned. If you have any questions - and you may well have a few - please ask. You are entitled one round of free cuts, although I don't what there is to cut on the team.
-
As I said, I've run a slow draft in couch managers. I can do that. But we need all 12 teams to set up accounts in couch managers. Which means that Comfortable has to come down to 40 players. You can't import 45 players into a team with a maximum of 40 players. We also need a player for Abandoned/Antics, but we need a player for the team anyway. We don't have to slow draft, but 7:30 tomorrow is coming in a hurry.
-
A lot going on in the message board the past couple of days. Sorry I’ve been absent but real life stuff had to take precedent for a few days. I have set the draft for tomorrow at 7:30 central time. However, it looks like the league would prefer a slow draft. If this is the case, I would like to defer and let someone with experience with this run the show. If I can get a volunteer to run things, I will change our draft status and do what needs to be done to get the slow draft going.
-
I am fine with that, I can create an account no problem
-
Samesies. I've already done a slow draft & have a Couch Manager Account. I think moving forward -- given all the uncertainty -- slow draft is best IMHO
-
Been in 7 slow drafts this year, so I'm on CM

If we can lock in tomorrow evening as a draft time pretty soon (i.e. today), I've got a leaguemate who's interested in taking Magnolias over. If we bump the draft to a later date or go slow-draft, I'm still up to take part; I could do Saturday before 6 PM ET, Sunday after 4 PM ET, or Monday evening, to start with. Agree it'd be best to decide one way or another soon, though.

And I'd need to be co-commissioner.
-
I have a paid couch manager account. I can run a slow draft. I've already run one this year. But everyone needs to be on couch managers to make it work.
-
Sorry to see you go, EOR. We need some decisiveness to get this together before the season. I think we can at least get proxies for the teams that have paid on slack or the forums. If we are slow drafting, we need couch manager accounts and someone with a paid one. Commissioner, what's the plan?

It says that I need to reach out to the commish to abandon. How do I do that?
-
Thanks. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I think I have to bow out. Thank you all for having me and good luck. It's been a tough month and I just dont have the bandwidth sadly.
-
Hey Antics we're here for you. I know it's not much, practically a stranger to you typing away at his cell phone but just know that I care as a fellow leaguemate & as a married man with children.
Relationships are difficult and seem to be especially difficult in these crazy times. Don't be too hard on yourself and remember to love yourself first (as corny as that sounds). Love you for you and the right one will see that in you. God bless you brother, feel free to messa
-
Honestly I may need to bow out. How hard would it be to find a replacement? If it's a huge issue, I can stay. I've just had a lot of life stuff come up including a tough break up
-
I don't want to do it, but I've made two drafts at once work before.
