Letting us get Trent Grisham for 2 dollars is a league ending mistake.
-
Nester Cortes -73.30 Points. YIKES!
-
Auction is complete! Thanks everyone for sticking with it through some challenges
We're now in regular season mode. You can drop, trade, and start auctions. Don't forget to set your lineups for 3/18.
-
We done - thanks!
-
Lou is done w nominations.
-
No sweat. Make noms when you can. Just wanted to check.
-
Apologies hectic day at work, would like to nom later when I’m out of work
-
Notorious and Lou Brown, let me know if you plan to make more nominations or if you're done. Thanks!
-
Thanks commish. Looks like the CouchManager is wrapping up

We're getting close to the finish line with the auction! I'm going to bump the nominations to 4 each to speed us along to the end that much quicker.

Took a screenshot of results so far since restart

False alarm? Now it’s back up. Maybe it was just me
-
Speaking of frustrating, couchmanagers is down again.
-
I know it's frustrating. Especially if you had a player at a price you were happy with. I had Springs won before the crash and now I don't. It's affecting everyone. I expect we are all going to be bidding differently, just like if we ran the auction ten times we would get ten different results.
-
Hmm… I understand this situation is not Sandfrog’s fault, however he does seem to really be taking advantage of it. We had Conforto won for $1 before the shut down and now he has (at least) a $5 max bid on Conforto while these complaints are coming in. Just not a great look for the commish to be changing the prices he’s going for on players. Not a fan of that…
-
Don’t think I’d call the situation unethical. It’s just all-round unfortunate but such is life. And memory is a tricky thing even a few days out. I think any solution is going to be flawed but you make do.
In the end, it’s just a $50 fantasy league.
Thanks to the commissioners for working to get matters resolved and working to get the auction started back up.
-
In any case, we're about hour from the first round of new auctions closing. Try to stay on top of your nominations. My goal is to get us done by the 18th, so we're legal for the early Japan games.
-
I appreciate the conversation and hearing everyone's thoughts. I do think it was a situation of take the least-bad-option. I am sorry if some feel unfairly treated in the process. My goal was to get things restarted as quickly as possible in a way that managers thought was reasonable. I felt we had a pretty good consensus at the time.
-
All I’m saying is that, like it or not, a few of us are now operating at a competitive disadvantage. Results that weren’t added aren’t any less valid than those that were. A few of us shouldn’t be screwed because commish didn’t happen to get those imported. So while this is the “best” solution to the problem, it is still a morally flawed one and therefore “wrong”. For the record commish(es), I’m not mad at nor accusing you of anything, just frustrated by the situation as a whole.
-
Like Pandaman said, it’s not ideal. But I still think it’s what we agreed to. Even you seemed to agree, but just mentioned one player. I, for one, have no idea what the situation was when the crash happened as I hadn’t looked at it in hours. In my head I feel like I had won Kirby Yates, but I don’t know that I did. I’m sure I’m not the only person with that problem. In which case to me, it was pretty clear the only options were a total restart or what we got, and no one spoke in favor of restart
-
Even the best solution to a problem can be flawed. Some managers have all their results, I have 1/3 of mine; that is wrong, it isn’t right or fair. When I raised the issue (as did Lou Brown), I expected some discourse. For commish to say: x, y, and z have been brought forth…are we ok as a league honoring them? Instead we got hours of silence, no discussion on the matter, and the draft restarted on ~2hrs notice. That looks like burying a problem rather than dealing with it.
-
Can appreciate the perspective #14, and think "wrong" is a little harsh. I don't think this is a binary situation. Also in terms of moving forward with a decision those who shared their thoughts seemed to be in line with Ballad's thoughts/perspective. Agreed that no one has reason to lie, but memory/recall for something like this would be tough. Definitely none of the options were ideal and all had pros/cons.

FWIW, I think throwing out a block of completed auctions because they didn’t get moved over is wrong. No one in the league has any reason to lie and I know we all pay close attention to auctions ending. Either every known auction that was competed should count or none of them should.
-
Auction is launched. Go get em!
-
I think that’s a good call. I’ll up to 3 noms.
-
I'd be in favor of upping the # of nominations
-
Can we all post 3 players instead of 2 just to ensure we finish on time? I feel we can all handle 36 players.
-
As for outstanding closed auctions we don't have data for - those are just lost, sorry. We don't have complete data. So We're starting fresh and all free agents are available.
-
Okay but do you have an update on the Luke Raley situation? I’m on the edge of my seat.
-
Okay. Rosters are updated in Couchmanagers to include all the data we have on the auction - and should match the current rosters in Ottoneu. I am going to restart the auction around 6p Eastern. Try to get your nominations in this evening if you can. Thanks everyone. Hopefully no more hiccups!
-
All of this sounds good to me - and don't worry Lou Brown, no one wants Luke Raley. He is a bum, like the rest of your team.

I’m traveling today, but will get everything set for a restart this evening going with option 2. I will update Couchmanagers so rosters reflect the current state in Ottoneu. So we’ll have the auction results up to 10:32p on 3/5 included.
-
I see everything has reloaded with rosters before the draft. Is the plan for commish to upload players drafted and start the draft again today?
-
I think gerrit Cole was mistakenly added to my team;) option 2 makes sense to me
-
So would the plan be to just start fresh for players we don’t have results for? Or would the goal be for us to try and replicate the results that did not survive data loss? For instance, I know I got Luke Raley for $3. I would be willing to start an auction for him at $3 if I knew others were not going to bid. I’m good either way but I do think expectations regarding those who had their auctions close would be helpful (though I admit I don’t know all of the outstanding closed auctions).
-
Btw thanks commish for importing when ya did

Prefer #2, but won't put up a major stink if #1 is the decision.

Def option 2 for the gregori’i
-
Yeah option 2 seems best to me as well
-
Yeah I'd vote for option #2 as well, if possible

Most of the results of our draft are on our Ottoneu page. Can we easily input those into couch manager?
-
I suppose try to confirm data is lost. Maybe someone at least screenshot results? That said I would say #2 if we can easily add that info to the pre-auction rosters.
-
Yeah, if those are the 2 options, then option 2 is definitely better.
-
I would say option #2 as well, while definitely still some data lost, that would be the least data lost and only have to "redo" a smaller part of the draft
Pandaman on

-
I’m inclined to option #2, just because it’s easier. But I’m interested in what any of you think.
-
Assuming the data is lost, I see two options (although maybe there are others. 1) Reset and start over (adding all auctioned players back into the free agent pool) OR 2) move forward from the current state with those players that have already been added to teams in Ottoneu staying put.
-
Site is back up. Looks like no data from the auction survived.
-
Looking like per the latest update, all data might've been lost. We may need to chat about how we want to resolve
