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

I don’t think we need any more auctions

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.
-
But if someone else wants to take over antics, thats ok. I have a lot on my plate
-
it depends on time. Ill be busy Friday from 11am PST to 3pm PST
-
Works for me. But we should figure out something with Comfortable and their roster of 45 guys right now before then.
-
I'm OK with it

that's 2 days away? can the rest of you all do that?

That would good with me

I'm in another league w/ comfortable and he's dealing with some health/life stuff. He said he'd get a co-manager signed in today. Can we lock in 3/17? So far one conflict. 2 weeks from opening day.

I'm not a big fan of slow drafts unless it's a new league, but it might be the way out this time
-
Hi ho gang! Still on Saigon time over here... wondering what's going to come of this conundrum. On Thursday to Saturday (half a day ahead of EST) I'm auctioning at 6am 3 days n a row @.@
-
What’s happening with Comfortable? His team is 3 players over the maximum. He hasn’t checked in since February 18. He may be comfortable with that decision, but I’m not.
-
To be honest, given the state of this team I think it makes the most sense for the person who drafts it to be the manager for the full season. If we're sticking to the 3/17 date, I can ask around in Slack and the forums to see if there's a replacement manager available—I don't mind eating the $20 registration fee if need be. Sorry again!

Sorry to hear you have a conflict, Magnolias. What most leagues I have been in have done is use proxies when conflicts pop up. Life happens sometimes and we are already tight for the start of the year and doing a slow draft. I have use proxies before and it works well. Slack has plenty of willing volunteers.

Hi! Unfortunately, I just had a conflict for the 17th pop up since my update last weekend. I'm still free the rest of that week, but it looks like the only other time that works for Trash is the 24th, which is tough for a couple of us -- so I guess it might have to be a slow draft after all?
Sorry about that; I tried to push my 17th conflict off but it just wasn't happening. I'm also down to hand off the team to another manager if need be (as much as I was looking forward to the reb

Looking at the posts on the message board, I would like to propose Friday the 17th at 7pm central time for the draft. If anyone has a conflict, please post a response or message me directly.
-
Friday the 17th & 24th 2:30-6PM PST is best I can do. Otherwise I vote slow draft
