I agree he has money and good prospects. May get picked up fast
-
The one other consideration is that Horton's roster is pretty loaded with the kind of upside guys that people like when they take over a roster, so I'd guess it may get picked up quickly
-
Yeah agreed on the minimal time commitment, it's pretty crazy.
If everyone wants to go ahead and draft with 11 then I won't be the one no vote, but I worry that if we draft with only 11 it's going to have a multi-year impact on league economics (too many good values, big advantage for folks who cap space for the draft and disadvantage for those who don't). Also keep in mind we haven't heard from Jobu yet anyway.
-
This is bullshit. There is absolutely no reason why anyone shouldn’t be able to pop in for a minute or two a couple of times each day. The while point of a slow auction is minimal time commitment. It’s a toilet break activity. We’re all paid up. Let’s roll.
-
Actually he threw the hissy fit . It’s a fucking slow draft . Gives him plenty of time . To quit at this point is a real shitty thing to do . Fuck over 10 other teams . He should not get his money back or be able to play in any leagues in my opinion

Argh my response at 10:02am gut cut off, here it is. This apparently set things off. Good times! Sorry everyone (shrug emoji)
Generous Carriage:
Thanks. A yes would suffice.

If you can’t, let the league know.

Horton:
I didn't speak for anyone else's attitude. I spoke about yours. Only yours. I'm doing the best I can but I'm sorry that isn't good enough. I tried to schedule a draft and you were the only one who couldn't be there. You threw a massive hissy fit and forced everyone to change the draft. You're a goddamn child and I'm done.

Generous Carriage:
It’s absurd that you think I’m the one with attitude. I’m doing my best to contain my disdain for your attitude. Everyone is busy, I don’t have the time to organize this league. All I ask for is a simple fucking yes on the league message board and you can’t even give me the courtesy, instead I have to message you individually and when I do I get a whiny passive aggressive response. Either you can or you can’t, I couldn’t care less how busy you are....
-
Horton:
If it was a straight up yes, I'd have said that. Chances are I'm gonna miss nominations and bidding throughout the week. I'll do the best I can and I'm trying to be flexible for everyone's sake. Idk why is being met with attitude.

Generous Carriage:
Just want to confirm that you saw all the message board posts and are ok with starting the slow draft at noon ET today? I have confirmations from 9 of 11 managers but want to make sure everyone is ready before I get things rolling.
February 23, 2025 9:25 AM
Horton:
Not really but it is what it is. I'm extremely busy today and this whole week but the decision has been made.

Ok, looks like we'll need to hold off on the draft and look for a 12th. I'll post the contents of the chat here, you guys can make your own judgments.
-
Wtf is this all about?
-
I'm truly sorry for this but I'm done with Generous Carriage and their childish attacks and pettiness. Best of luck to you all.
-
It says he has been on today so he must know
-
Just waiting on FU Jobu now
-
Have you heard from last two owners?
-
I don't think any nominations can be made until I click "start auction" at 12pm ET tomorrow. But if you find that's not the case, please hold off until 12pm ET tomorrow anyway just so we avoid chaos. I'd also like to get a confirmation from the last two owners that they're ready to go - really want to avoid finding out after the fact that not everyone was ready.
At 12pm ET, everyone will be able to nominate two players, for a total of 2x12 = 24 auctions running at once.
-
So when can we actually nominate a player ? It seems to me we can start anytime, and then the next bid chance comes at noon tomorrow ?

3) There is an Ohtani (SP) that appears to be available in the draft room - PLEASE IGNORE. Ohtani is rostered in our league (Small but Slow), but Couch Managers has two Ohtanis (UT and SP) and I didn't want to put 2 players on Small but Slow's roster because that would take away one of the roster spots he should have. So please no one nominate Ohtani, I will of course delete that nomination if it happens accidentally.
Think that's all I've got for now - any questions, let me know.
-
A few points and reminders on the draft...
1) I have participated in several of these but have never run one, so bear with me if we have any hiccups early on. If that happens, I'll do my best to address quickly and get things rolling again.
2) One more reminder that position eligibility on Couch Managers is not identical to that on Ottoneu, so please be aware of this as you think about your team construction. Ottoneu position eligibility is obviously the only one that m
-
Alright guys, rosters are up on Couch Managers. Please go on and check your roster at some point today / tomorrow morning and let me know if you see any issues.
Thanks to everyone who responded below letting me know you're good with the 12pm ET start time tomorrow. FU Jobu and Horton, can you please confirm you have seen this and are good to go? I just want to get an affirmative response from everyone so we don't get 30 picks into the draft only to realize someone didn't know we had

Sounds good . Thanks for taking the time .

Let’s plan to start the draft tomorrow, Sunday 2/23 at 12pm ET (doesn’t mean you’d have to be available right at this time, just that you’d need to be able to check at some point before 8pm ET when the first auctions could theoretically be completed). Can everyone please affirmatively confirm here that this timing works, or else let me know if there are any issues? Thanks
-
Hi all, update on draft timing. I should have a window this afternoon to get all the rosters up on Couch Managers. I will message here when this is complete, and then I strongly encourage everyone to take a look and make sure your rosters have been accurately imported.
-
My reasoning is that I think running a lot of individual auctions at the same time has the effect of depressing clearing prices a little bit (because people’s available budgets sometimes need to be spread across multiple player auctions, whereas in a live draft you always have your full budget available for the one player auctioned at any given time). I want to avoid the possibility of messing up league economics (i.e. stars rostered too cheaply) by having too many auctions running at once.
-
I’m good with an 11pm ET - 7am ET pause. I think we should do 2 noms per team, at least at the beginning (I recall from prior drafts that you can add noms mid-draft if you want to). If the draft is not moving quickly enough, I can add a nom or two per owner if people want to do that.
-
just as an idea, in my other leagues we do 4 noms per team and usually they pause slow draft 11pm-7am but up to you
-
Great! Thank you.
I'll do my best to get rosters up as soon as I can, but we're probably targeting this Saturday Feb 22 to get the slow draft started. Any concerns, let me know.

done! LET'S DO THIS!

I get it, let's hope so thanks
-
I just sent him a DM and sent a league-wide email - I can't just send one team an email but that should hopefully get things moving.
-
hey commish we can't move forward with slow draft until small but slow puts his team in couch managers..he has been on [last time was 2/16]..need to figure a way to get him on the ball..
-
yeah I also saw he was on, there's always one
-
I sent a message yesterday, haven't heard anything. Looks like he was on the site yesterday so I don't know. The window I had to load rosters this weekend has passed and my week is looking pretty rough, so at this point we're probably not getting started until next weekend at the earliest.
-
Anybody email small but slow to nudge him to join slow draft?
-
Come on, last team!!! Let’s roll!!!
-
still need slow and jubu
-
ok i see you there lol
-
you signed up path losers?
-

-
Come on, lollygaggers! Let's get this party started!
