The Great Chippy Selloff of 2023 has begun! it's high time we did a proper rebuild, and I have a week of vacation, so let's make some action happen... trade block is full of studs, will make any trade that makes me better for when Jackson Holliday come up to mash
-
I’m just bustin chops. I have the attention span of a fruit fly, so kudos to y’all for keeping that whole thing straight
-
The trade required mutual negotiation to address roster and salary caps. Successful trades are a series of chat from both parties. This year, across leagues, is a "make me an offer" mentality followed by "I want more" without defining "more."
-
Ya sure you guys couldn’t get any more players into that trade?
-
for those teams that think they have a great team check out OPL--its best ball format and requires no real additional oversight on you part.
-
That was a fun auction, guys. Fast and efficient. Looking forward to a great season.
-
Also reminding everyone to "spring ahead" the morning of our draft.
-
Howdy all. Quick reminder that our draft is scheduled for this Sunday at 10am EST/7am PST. Looking forward to seeing everyone there
-
PSA: The deadline to make any cuts before the season starts is tomorrow the 31st at midnight EST. Make sure you get all your cuts in by then.
-
Hey y'all. We did not get a weekday that worked for everyone so we are going to keep the 12th as our draft date. Please mark it down. Also, I realized we polled everyone on 10am on the 12th and that worked, so we'll update the draft time accordingly. This should help our west coast friends especially, though 7 is early even for east coasters. See you all then. Please all remember that 1/31 is the deadline for trades and cuts before the draft.

Weekday options added to the doodle poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/organize/id/b4Q5M3Jd
-
Weeknights - I cannot do Tuesdays before 9:00pm Eastern, and Thursdays the 9th and 23rd are out. Other than that I can make weeknights happen, although the week of the 13th is waaaay easier than the other two March weeks.
-
The 6th-9th works for me. Or any 20-27th
-
I am pretty flexible as far as weeknights go. I should be able to knock out the draft after work and the kiddo goes to bed. I agree that finding a day that works for 100% of the crew - even if someone has to come late - is the preferred situation.

The 12th is still OK for me - I can be flexible on time, recently found out I will have to be at a convention for work 14th-18th, but weeknights are good for me if it is 9-13th or 20-27th
-
thanks. draft days are starting to dwindle--so if we could nail it down that would be great--have another on the 19th.
-
Yours truly is on the west coast. I would be more than happy to start the draft at 8a or 9a eastern if that works for everyone. I will also set up a new poll for a few weekday options. We have one person who can’t make the 12th. In my experience, that’s as close to unanimity as a league can get, but it would be great if it happens that we could actually find a day that works for 100% of the league. We’ll hold the 12th as the planned draft day unless it turns out there is 100% on another day
-
March 12th is the start of Daylight Savings Time, so we will lose an hour of sleep. That's going to be an really early morning, but I'm okay with it. Are there any west coast people in the league?
-
Ok, folks, 10 out of 10 respondees were available for March 12 in the morning so let’s go with that. Please let the commissioners know if there are any subsequent issues that arise. Looking forward to the season.
-
Excited for the season and this new league. First time doing a Points one. Looking forward to learning as we go.

Hello, All. I'm happy to be here and I'm looking forward to the season. This is my first Points league, so I will have a little learning curve, but it will be fun.
-
Right now, March 12 in the morning is the date that works for everyone for the draft. Please check out the doodle poll to register your availability if you have not already done so.
-
Very happy to see some new owners joining us. Welcome everyone. To remind everyone of our house rule, we ask that any owners (new or old), pay their dues before making any cuts/trades to ensure that you will remain with the team through the year. Some of you have done that and we all thank you for doing so. If you have not done that, please do so as soon as you can. If there are any issues with that rule, please feel free to message myself or co-commissioner Chippy privately
-
Specifically, we’re looking at the weekends of the 4-5 and 11-12, but the 25th is also an option if needed. All times are EST but are not set in stone, I’ve just selected morning, afternoon and evening times. If we have to move one of those around an hour or so, that’s no big.
-
Hey everybody, I think this link should work, but this is my first shot at a doodle poll, so please let me know if it doesn’t. Below is a poll with some possible dates for our draft. Please click the link and select any dates and times that work for you. I’ve stuck to weekends in March for now and chosen some limited options but we can expand into weekdays if we don’t get dates ther work out of this. Thanks https://doodle.com/meeting/organize/id/b4Q5M3Jd

Welcome to D’Anconia Cooper, taking the place of Kneel Before Zod, who decidedly failed to cause anyone to kneel before him. Let’s keep this off-season going
-
Yeah, everyone go out and spread the word that we need new owners in any other leagues you’re in or wherever. We’ve never had an issue filling empty slots (same is true for my other Ottoneu points league), but the sooner we can fill them, the better. Get as many teams involved in trading early
-
wow--we have 6 abandoned teams in this league--thats crazy
-
i'm paid up. let's deal!
-
I just manually reversed the trade
Consider this your first test as commissioner, Homer, and you passed!
You made the right-- and painful-- call to reverse your trade because the other party didn't want to play by the rules
nothing personal to the new Ocho owner, but a few years back we had some fool come in and decimate a team, then leave before paying and we don't need that
New Ocho will be abandoned
-
I believe we can manually reverse it and we will once I figure out that function. Chippy may know how to do it already
-
I totally support the pre pay rule, and am fine with the trade....if both teams were paid. Ergo, the trade should not have been processed. Does the commissioner have manual access to stop a trade, and enforce the pre payment rule?
-
Please take this as a reminder of our house rule and I’ll look forward to trading season really opening soon. Be well
-
This is the exact reason we have this rule: so that new owners don’t come in and pick apart a team before bailing. Although I would very much like to have Adley Rutschman on my team and I think the trade we made was fair (and the result of several offers and counter offers), the correct thing to do under our rules is to unwind the trade and abandon the team for a new owner. I think it’s a strong roster that will get a new owner soon.
-
Hi everyone, multi-parter here. Y’all, glad to be here to co-commission (is that a verb?) this thing with Chippy. Please consider this an accountability post and a reminder. El Ocho’s new owner informed me that he picked up “the wrong team” (make what you will of that explanation) and does not intend to pay dues. As everyone should be aware, we don’t allow teams to make moves unless they have renewed their dues for the upcoming season.
-
OK, ARB is over, let the Trading begin!
reminder that you need to pay dues for upcoming season BEFORE completing any cuts/trades/etc
-
lol--congrats!
-
Let's all congratulate Homer on being named co-commissioner
with luck commissioning duties will be just enough of a distraction to keep him out of the money
-
I immensely enjoyed playing, but I am going to quit next year to find out what the extra time of living without Ottoneu will bring me. A sincere thanks to all for a great experience; you are great league mates! If needed, I could do arbitration. If not, please abandon my team…. Thanks!
-
congratulations to Homer-- winner of the last 3 full season contests-- and the others in the top 3.
Lots of parity this season, felt like a lot more teams were still in it pretty late in the year. Don't forget ARBITRATION starts in 9 days, our collective chance to pay Homer back for his rough treatment of us. Zod is leaving us after completing Arb this year. Please let us know if any of you are NOT planning on returning so we can make alternate plans
-
Good season folks, been a pleasure
-
I fucking hate ringworm so much. Worst disease ever. I am hereby dedicating all my charitable donations to the eradication of ringworm
-
Very happy to get Wander back where he belongs with the Chippies... Wondering if any other player has been traded as often in our league... by my count this is his 5th trade in 4 seasons, feels like an unofficial record
-
Wander Samuel Franco is up for grabs, send your offers if interested
-
BLOCKBUSTER!!
-
We all set for the draft tonight yea?
-
ok, we're locked in for 3/26 1800 est... now let's hope there's a season
-
3/26, 18:00 EST works for me.
-
Yeah, 18:00 works for me.
-
good for zod
