Ok, sorry for the blast I'm just trying to get all issues resolved so we can pick a draft date and I can go back to being a spectator.
-
yeah, I need to make some cuts

This is a second reminder to Alton and the Mayor - if you are making cuts and joining us at the draft it needs to be done asap. These should really be done before the new guys make theirs imo. I'd like to get some input from the rest of the league on this. Does anyone else care about the cut deadline and people missing it/not getting it done in a timely fashion? If so how do we handle? Doing my best to just push everyone to get it done but as some point it feels like the rules are being skirted.
-
Curly I need an email for your guy
-
Only because you asked so nicely... Nard Pups guy is out so I will get the emails out for them to claim there teams. Was just doing my best to keep things as fair as possible and not leave anybody out.
-
So, with all respect, is it okay to let my brother know he can stop dreaming about Hoochiemama now and get his hands on ?
-
Shit... I did forget about Nard Pups guy who was actually one of the first, if not the first people in. IDK what else to do except get his boys bday and pick the closest two.
-
That's one mountaintop I don't feel lonely on! The winner is....... Tanker's brother - I didn't do the exact math but my birthday is 3/14/86. Pie day and a true St. Louis birthday if there ever was one! Anyone else going to the STL City home opener?
-
Sorry for late response. Didn’t see these

Oct. 7
-
My brother is December 10th...we'll hold off on the year for even more suspense...
Hopefully, we can take Levy off the league mountaintop this year
-
One point of order I think should be addressed is while not a huge deal I think the people who missed the cut deadline need to get their cuts in asap. Single round (same as new teams joining) seems fair to me, but this should really be done in the next day or two to make it fair for those who got their cuts in on time. This certainly should be done before teams report for spring training imo. As a reminder teams taking over after the cut deadline automatically get a free round of cuts.
-
Currently I am mountainbottom and feel like everyone in this league took turns kicking me haha.
-
Post them bdays boys. I think it should be closest bday with the year as a tie breaker.
-
Lol I like this banter. I do have a super secret birthday.
-
Whatever the Mountaintop Levy or Alton Council decides, I think my guy is ready to get ahold of whatever and get to geekin
-
How bout it’s done by whoever’s bday is closest to Levy’s? Presuming no one knows that it would seem the most random way.
-
So, I can tell ya, that's a coin flip coming.
-
He would put Hoochie 1, Bluth 2
-
I got Chris. The Chris email is in.

S&H I’m going to ask you to stay in a holding pattern with your 1-2 new potentials for the moment. Curly if your guy is in please have him look at hoochie and bluth and tell me which team he prefers. If there is a conflict we will figure out a fair way to figure out who gets what team
-
Alton messaged me saying he is still in… I’m on the mountaintop and the mobile site sucks so I can’t tell if his team has been renewed or not. Bluth and hoochie are officially out and are the only two available teams. Tanker, which one of your guys are in?
-
The Mayor has renewed his team and is in for the upcoming season. As we are brothers, we both missed the cut deadline and are asking for a little forgiveness from the league.

I also have another 1-2 people - not the previous 2 who reneged - who are interested. I've told them that there may not be available teams at the moment now, but should any other new managers fall through we've got some additional alternates.
-
Update:
One of my potential owners is feeling the intimidation factor of Ottoneu's awesomeness. So, I only have one.
What else is new, right?
I will clarify with the commissioner, and stop searching ( and stop messaging), but do still have 1 guy ready to step-up for the season ahead as previously mentioned.

Couple of things for the league. I texted my brother, The Mayor and am waiting to hear back about his intentions for this season. Also, I have asked the commish to cut Mikolas, M. Kelley, Vientos and Turang as long as no one objects. Once again, my apologies for missing the cut deadline.

In case anyone is confused Tanker reached out with a second person who is in (in addition to his brother mentioned above), Curly has the one mentioned above, and Nard Pups also has a potential interested person. Again fantastic work boys. I'm heading to Breckenridge for the week tomorrow so I'll be less responsive than normal, but all messages and board posts go to my email so I'll try my best to get back to everyone tomorrow evening.
-
Hey guys, everyone is doing great filling holes in the league. Lets keep all posts on the league board. Not only will this be more transparent but it will help me keep track of who said they were in when because as of now we have 4 potential new guys and the Mayor may or may not return. So lets pump the brakes on any more new teams. For those already mentioned I will try to have new teams assigned within 2-3 days provided everyone has sent me the new guys #1-4 team preferences to take over. thx
-
I’ve got someone that will join. He’s new to ottoneu but is in a keeper league with S&H and myself that is similar to ottoneu for lazy people.
-
Put my brother in for one.
It's blood now
-
No not yet but I didn't want to do anything without 1) making sure the people who we think are out are actually out and 2) giving first dibs to people with connections to the league such as S&H or Nard Pups friends, or even the people in your other league. I agree we should post soon for any teams we have left but I will give another day or two for all 3 of you (or anyone else making similar efforts) to get your people in first.
-
I put out an inquiry of interest in my other league. Have we posted on the Ottoneu Board?
-
Also tell the one guy we are in a pinch. Hes wavering so he's in if you push him, lol. And we have 4 teams to fill which is a really tall task. Nard Pups just told me he might have a guy but that would still leave two. If I hadn't convinced Bluth to come back last year we might not have been able to draft.
-
In all seriousness try to make a push. We all didn't know what this was going to be like until we tried it and we all love it now. My other league came over from roto and there was huge resistance - now they all absolutely love it and theres no going back for them. The structure makes it the best dynasty format imo. I will say in light of this though, that all teams that are available are open to whoever is willing to join on a first come first serve basis.
-
C'mon straight and habanero... employ every tactic at your disposal. Charm, wit, psychology! Tell them how great it is. Tell them just to give it a try, they may fall in love with it just like you did. Tell them it is basically roto but you get just get points for stats - basically the same in the end. Tell them its actually refreshing that one good week by a shitty team can't hurt you. Tell them they are pussies if they don't. Whatever it takes, lol.
-
So tough news on the new joiner front, both the interested parties are big roto guys and they balked and withdrew after looking at our scoring and auction setup. One said he might reconsider if we’re in a pinch to fill teams but for the moment I think we’ll need to look elsewhere. Sorry for the false start.
-
Thanks Clayton/ Levy.
Appreciated.
-
Bluth is officially out so we will definitely have 2 teams for your friends S&H. My suggestion is have them look at those teams as well as Alton and the Mayor's teams. Then they can designate their preferences from 1st to 4th. If their top two choices are Bluth and Hoochie Mama then we can take care of this right away. If not we'll give one more day for Alton and the Mayor to reach out.
-
As far as procedure I think I will just need their email and will send once we confirm which team they are taking over.
-
That is fantastic news Mr. Habanero! I'd like to give 24-48 hours for everyone to hopefully see and respond to my email but I will make sure to talk to you before abandoning any teams - your boys have dibs and as far as which team they get I'll leave it to you/them to decide who gets what. Perhaps a bare knuckle boxing match or coin flip? lol
-
I have 2 people interested in joining, it looks like we might only need 2 to replace Bluth and Hoochie? The two interested parties are new to Ottoneu but seasoned fantasy vets, so I'm not sure what the transfer procedure would look like.
-
That's great to hear. Not a huge deal at this exact moment but we really need to get them back and in compliance as soon as possible.
-
I believe Alton and perhaps another will return. Might be unavoidably distracted by unfantasy things. But a Hoochie replacement for sure.
-
Go Nads - in an attempt to keep this fair get me your cuts asap please.
-
Just sent an email to the league. Oddly enough Alton, Bluth, and the Mayor have all visited the site in the last couple weeks. Maybe they just missed the deadline and plan on coming back. Heres hoping...
-
If anyone knows Alton or the Mayor please reach out to them asap. I'm assuming Bluth is out based on barely getting him back last year so we are currently looking at getting 4 teams replaced if they are all out (Hoochie posted on the board that he was not returning).
-
I just sent an email requesting to be made commissioner. If anyone knows anyone who might want to play it would really help. There are a lot of open spots on the "manager wanted" help board.
-
To me the most important thing is getting these teams officially abandoned so they show up as available to people looking to take over teams. The sooner the more likely we'll get people to take them over. But only the commish can do that.
-
Happy for Levi to run with it. If the teams are good and they are on the available teams page and people can see us talking on the league page I think they should get scooped up

I do not know Alton Giants, but support Levy for commissions or anulyone who wants it.
We have to post a decent plea for owners.
The teams are all pretty good, I think.
