• If anyone knows that they will need a substitute to draft for them, please let me know and we can try to find someone via the Slack. Collectively, we'll have about 153 player spots to fill; if we draft a player once a minute, that's 2.5 hours, so please budget 3 if you can.

  the balking dead on March 11, 2020 12:39 PM

• OK folks, two weeks from today, 3/22 at 8:30 pm ET, we're on!

  the balking dead on March 8, 2020 11:14 PM

• 3/22 would work fine for me

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on March 4, 2020 6:36 PM

• Hey, juuust trying to find a date when we could get everyone there. 3/15 at 8+ pm ET can be done by all but one, so that's the current time, but I'm checking on 3/22 at 8+ pm ET. All other dates were marked "no" by 4 or more.

  the balking dead on March 4, 2020 6:01 PM

• So where did we land vis-a-vis draft date/time?

  Weeghman's Whales on March 2, 2020 2:19 PM

• Gonna be on my honeymoon the weekend of the 15th, so I wouldn't be able to do that weekend. Could do anytime before or after that weekend, other than March 6-8. Sorry to be throwing a wrench in this.

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 26, 2020 6:14 PM

• Thanks for organizing, Balking! March 15 sounds good to me. I prefer evening still but can make daytime work if need be.

  Haiti-Grade Jailbreak on February 25, 2020 9:03 AM

• Right now Sunday, March 15 is the day that the most people can make it. It is the only day that only 2 people cannot make. I will reach out to those people to find out if there is a time on the 15th (e.g. 1 pm v 9 pm) we could schedule it that would make it work.

  the balking dead on February 19, 2020 10:11 PM

• Any update on setting a draft?

  Scotty Smalls on February 19, 2020 9:38 PM

• We've got about 3/4 of the responses in so far! Here's the URL again: http://whenisgood.net/harrycaray953

  the balking dead on February 15, 2020 4:05 PM

• Thanks for the app, balking dead, it’s useful. Ive just sent my availability through the app.

  St. Clair Gorillas on February 14, 2020 1:34 PM

• Here's a little app to figure out when is good for the auction (it's called whenisgood!). Just paint over the areas that are good for you. Assume that the timing would be around 9pm ET for weeknights, might be more flexible for weekends but I'd imagine evening may still be best. I'll email it out as well. http://whenisgood.net/harrycaray953

  the balking dead on February 14, 2020 9:46 AM

• I can do any Sunday's but can't do Saturdays because I baby sit my grandkids...

  Bushrod Bombers on February 14, 2020 8:37 AM

• I can do any weekend as long as its not this weekend.

  Trade Proposed by Fourteen Clubs on February 14, 2020 8:20 AM

• I can do that weekend!

  Scotty Smalls on February 13, 2020 2:30 PM

• Good luck! Should we look to the 28th-30th? Where do people stand then?

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 13, 2020 2:25 PM

• I am moving this weekend, so that is the one time in particular I cannot.

  Clueless Bros on February 13, 2020 2:23 PM

• Welcome! So, should we pick a date for the draft? Sounds like the 22nd is out. What about the weekend of the 29th? Also, what about this weekend? Can people can do this Saturday, the 15th? We can figure this out!

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 13, 2020 2:22 PM

• Hello. Just claimed this team. Looking for fun league.

  La Pantera on February 13, 2020 7:55 AM

• Yes, agree that we should move forward with replacing him

  Haiti-Grade Jailbreak on February 12, 2020 7:53 AM

• Damn, had some good trade talks with Bluenosers last year, but you're right, he never responded this offseason. We can set up a new owner with a round of penalty-free cuts in commish tools. I posted the team in the Slack #owners-wanted channel FYI.

  the balking dead on February 10, 2020 2:39 PM

• Well, this creates some interesting problems. We should solicit a new owner, but they're going to want to clear some people.

  Clueless Bros on February 10, 2020 2:35 PM

• sorry for the double-post lol. computer glitch

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 10, 2020 2:32 PM

• We can reach out if you all want, but it looks intentional to me. He hadn't posted (or updated his trade block) in months, and he didn't release any players before the keeper deadline -- his team his over-budget. Seems like he wanted to leave the league but didn't feel the need to give us a heads up lol. I think we should move to replace him. If we do that I'm pretty sure commish can help the new owner release players to get the team viable for the draft

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 10, 2020 2:31 PM

• Yeah, and I can't see his email now (even with Commish Tools) so I'm not sure if we can reach out to find out if that was on purpose?

  the balking dead on February 10, 2020 12:57 PM

• Apparently, Bluenosers is gone now. He missed renewing the league..?

  St. Clair Gorillas on February 10, 2020 12:56 PM

• HA! Condolences on Mookie. Congratulations on getting married (soon)!

  the balking dead on February 5, 2020 5:37 PM

• My condolences, Urbina. On the draft: 22nd is out, I'm flying then anyways. I can put together a Doodle or whenisgood using this general feedback and email the group. My preference is to avoid the week of 22-29, but we'll see what the full group can do! I think most managers have checked in at least once since end of season.

  the balking dead on February 5, 2020 5:33 PM

• Late February or early March are both fine with me. I also prefer 8:30pm EST or after for the same reason as Weeghman's. I think Feb 22 doesn't work for me, but otherwise I'm flexible on dates and no real preference between weekend and weeknight.

  Haiti-Grade Jailbreak on February 5, 2020 4:43 PM

• I'm okay with late February draft...

  Bushrod Bombers on February 5, 2020 8:59 AM

• Late February works for me as well. The only caveat is that if we were to draft on the 22nd I wouldn't be able to make anything earlier than 9-eastern. In general slightly later (like after 8:30)would work better for me so I don't have to ask my wife to handle kid bedtime routine by herself so I can play pretend baseball haha

  Weeghman's Whales on February 5, 2020 7:41 AM

• Thanks! Well, guys, as a diehard Sox fan, I’m heartbroken, and Mookie is available. Wish I could have dropped him in time. Unless there’s a “sad fan” exception to the keeper deadline, feel free to reach out with trade offers one the season starts.

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 5, 2020 12:08 AM

• I’d be good with a late February draft, also congrats Urbina!

  Scotty Smalls on February 4, 2020 7:16 PM

• I generally think you're right that the weekend is a better way to ensure we have everyone. I'd prefer late February if possible; getting married the weekend of March 7th and will be on a honeymoon the weekend of the 14th, and I'm not sure inserting fantasy baseball into either of those weekends will fly haha. Could also do the weekend right before the season (March 20-22) if you all prefer that

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 4, 2020 6:41 PM

• I think that'd be great, yeah. Season starts March 26! Do people have a strong preference for a) Feb v. March and b) weeknight v weekend? (I know we span at least the US, so for time zone sake any weeknight auction has to start pretty late Eastern time, which is OK for me but maybe not for others.) We can draw up a Doodle or whenisgood pending that input.

  the balking dead on February 3, 2020 4:33 PM

• Now that keepers are set, should we set a day for the auction draft? Maybe late february, early march?

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on February 1, 2020 12:11 PM

• Remember, today is the last day to cut players without penalty!

  the balking dead on January 31, 2020 1:13 PM

• Welcome Sacha! And welcome Weeghman's and Solar Sox. Looking forward to this next season!

  Haiti-Grade Jailbreak on January 29, 2020 9:44 PM

• Hi everybody, I'm Sacha. I took over the Enders Game team. Looking forward to the season!

  Trade Proposed by Fourteen Clubs on January 28, 2020 11:36 PM

• Cool, Enders Game is now abandoned. I'll post it once again on the Slack, and hope y'all can help us find a good owner for our 12th and final team! Let's get it filled before the 31st so the new owner can make their cuts.

  the balking dead on January 27, 2020 4:35 PM

• just spoke to enders, he told me "I already renounced my team." so i'm not sure what needs to happen now to clear the spot for him officially

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on January 25, 2020 9:51 AM

• Welcome guys! Enders is leaving the league. He told me he reached out to Clueless (commish) to try to abandon his team. On my "team settings" page, it says you have to reach out to the commissioner to abandon your team. He definitely wants to abandon his team, so maybe Clueless can help him? Not really sure how it works

  🤓Technocratic Clerk: Serving Geeks on January 23, 2020 2:14 PM

• Welcome Weeghman’s Whales (fka Hobo Jungle) and Solar Sox (fka VORP Speed)! Is Enders still playing or do we need one more?

  the balking dead on January 23, 2020 8:40 AM

• VORP and Hobo Jungle are the abandoned squads. Ender needs to abandon his team, I believe unless someone has already picked it up.

  Clueless Bros on January 21, 2020 12:47 PM

• I found one person (new to Otto, be nice) to take over a team. That means we need two more managers I believe. @commish let me know how we get him set up.

  the balking dead on January 21, 2020 12:10 PM

• You pay via the "Extend your dynasty" text on the Otto home page (where it shows your different leagues).

  the balking dead on January 21, 2020 12:09 PM

• How do I pay? I came in after the team was paid up for last year. I'm assuming it isn't also paid up for this season

  The 1:07 Train to Poundtown on January 2, 2020 2:24 PM

• Cool, I posted it. https://ottoneu.slack.com/archives/C03HUEXU5/p1577898751027800

  the balking dead on January 2, 2020 11:06 AM

• Yep, it's those 3. I don't think Ender's game is paid for 2020. Good idea to post asap so the new owners can have time to do keepers
