• good luck to everyone on hitting 30 games this week!
  McHale’s Navy Beans at Dec 4, 2023 9:06 AM
• Good lord!
  BILL WALTON'S SPORTSBONG 🥀 at Nov 28, 2023 12:24 PM
• Game fucking on this week!!!
  
  I wasn’t even going to start him until I heard Jokic was out, figured between Jokic, Murray and Gordon out and a revenge game it was worth a shot.

• Damn CGT! 79 pts from a $1 player! Insane.
  Brickowski for 3 at Nov 28, 2023 9:02 AM
• Don’t forget to set those lineups
  CGT at Nov 20, 2023 5:38 PM
• Sorry, Isaac and Dortz
  CGT at Oct 27, 2023 7:40 PM
• Alright folks, here’s what happened, honest truth
  
  Reaves and I sent back a few offers between each other and I didn’t notice that there was a $6 loan in there when I countered. That puts me over the cap which I of course wouldn’t have done consciously. Reaves agreed to send the $6 back to me, but I can’t accept it until my roster is valid which means cutting a player I didn’t want to. So I need to cut Isaac to make my roster valid and then accept the trade and then put Isaac back in my team using the commish tools.
  
  Long story, short…don’t bother claiming Isaac as I’m putting him back on my team, once the $$$ gets sorted out.

• But at least with Harden, the potential for a full-on Kanye meltdown is significantly less.
  McHale’s Navy Beans at Oct 25, 2023 2:39 PM
• Nobody works harder at not playing than James Harden and Kyrie Irving
  CGT at Oct 25, 2023 2:33 PM
• Funny that I had no intention of going in on Giannis. I thought with nearly everyone having money he’d easily go for $110 plus, but sub-$100 Giannis seemed like a steal to me. We shall see…
  
  My plan was to get two good guards for less than $100 and I blew that in the first auction.
  
  Of course I also anguished over cutting Durant at $107, so wtf do I know?
  CGT at Oct 24, 2023 3:40 PM
• Good luck everyone, games start tonight and it’s a light schedule this week, so pack those games in.
  CGT at Oct 24, 2023 3:37 PM
• Draft Protocol: This should go by relatively fast (I'm guessing 2 hours max but we'll see), probably take a 10 minute break at some point about an hour or so in. If your computer glitches on an auction that you wanted to bid on, speak up immediately and I can pause the draft and put that player back into the pool. Also, I didn't select the "nominations are required" option that locks you out if miss a nomination when it's your turn but please be ready with a player. I'll issue warnings near the beginning of the draft and I will lock you for a round of noms near the end of the draft as it is a competitive advantage if you don't nominate when owners are looking for value plays.

• I’m related news, Holy shit Wemby is gonna be a beast
  CGT at Oct 21, 2023 1:46 PM
• Thanks for letting us know, get your renewal fees paid. See everyone Sunday at 6pm EST, 5pm CST, 3pm PST. I call dibs on Giannis!!!!
  CGT at Oct 20, 2023 9:41 PM
• I didn't have to give any bank account info at all. Just pay with credit card.
  Otto Seventeen at Oct 20, 2023 9:11 PM
• The renewal link is now functioning. Paydala asks for bank account info alongside a valid email address and cell number (for verification code purposes). It's about the same as PayPal in terms of intrusion. See everyone on Sunday!
  Mike Gorman's Retirees at Oct 20, 2023 7:56 PM
• Still no renewal link, deadline is currently set for Oct. 21st...Niv claims it should be rolling out anytime.
  CGT at Oct 13, 2023 4:12 PM
• Thanks commish!
  Brickowski for 3 at Oct 6, 2023 8:58 AM
• if this helps anyone, Google sheet with all the stats from last year and Free Agents broken into their own sheet. Please go to "File->Make a Copy" if you use it and want to mess with it.

• I'm good at 5 PM. I think PM CDT ran together to form PDT in my mind when I was typing my response.
  McHale’s Navy Beans at Oct 4, 2023 3:06 PM
• Awesome, currently it's set for 5pm CDT though, would 7pm CDT (8pm EDT/5pm PDT) work better for you? It shouldn't take more than 2 hours.
  CGT at Oct 4, 2023 3:00 PM
• Kevin called me and said that McHale's Navy will be ready to set sail on 22 OCT at 7 PM CDT.
  McHale’s Navy Beans at Oct 4, 2023 2:57 PM
• we got 11 responses, Bingo, Bango, Bongo seems to be the missing one. There was no agreed window for everyone, here's the options with the least resistance at the moment.
  
  Sunday, October 8th between Noon and 3PM EST (Publish or Parrish appears to be unavailable all weekend and Scalabrine Squad said they were traveling although they left some windows open)
  Sunday October 22nd between 6-9PM EST (McHale’s Navy is the only owner unavailable)
  
  There were 2 or more owners that marked each day of the week as busy so weekdays don’t seem like an option.
  
  October 8th got the most votes for when to do it by a clear marrgin.
  
  Anyone have thoughts? For now, I’m moving it to October 22nd at 6pm EST as that has the least resistance. Happy to discuss options though.
  CGT at Oct 4, 2023 2:47 PM
• 7 responses in (plus W2 saying he's available whenever) and unfortunately there's no window that everyone is available..once the last 4 get in, we'll have to make some decisions.
  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 7:46 PM
• glad you're in W2, please fill out the form so I can track everything.
  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 6:13 PM
• McHale submitted her wasn't available on weekdays except Wednesday, Toni Kukoc said not available on Wed/Thurs with a note that weekdays would have to be after 9pm EST, which everyone seems to agree is a good time. So I guess Wed. nights are still open. 6 responses so far fwiw, 6 to go. Only available weekend slot after 6 responses is Sun, Oct 22nd between 10am EST -1pm EST.
  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 6:12 PM
• I'm back in now that they're not demanding an SSN and can draft at any time.
  Walden Two at Oct 2, 2023 5:23 PM
• The real Jrue couldn't have gone to a better situation for me! Finally, my Blazers rebuilding in earnest, doing it right. In general, I'm open almost any day. I just need a week or so to make sure it all works out.
  Majerus' O-🤺 at Oct 2, 2023 5:06 PM
• CGT, I may have been the Wednesday non-available owner. If it comes down to it, I can make a Wednesday work. I'd rather do that than a weekend.
  McHale’s Navy Beans at Oct 2, 2023 4:48 PM
• I can’t remember my responses if I’m the owner that can’t do wednesdays - but I can do Wednesday as long as it starts at 8:45/9:00pm (or later) -
  Please Come to Boston at Oct 2, 2023 4:42 PM
• once everyone gets their responses in, I'll let you know which day/time is open for the majority and we'll go from there.
  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 4:37 PM
• 4 responses so far, but one owner is only available on Wednesday's during the week and another owner IS NOT available on Wed/Thurs...so that leaves the weekends. Currently the 7, 8 and 21st are free from 10am EST-3pm EST and the 22nd from 10am-1pm EST
  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 4:36 PM
• I'm not sure Jrue Holiday could have gone to a worse situation for me, doh.
  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 2:55 PM
• League fee due to Ottoneu has been extended to the 14th of October, I still don't see a renew link. I did read in the community that the SSN info is no longer required. If anyone sees the renew link show up, let us know.
  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 2:49 PM
• sorry for the delay, was in a crazy race for 2nd place in my baseball league. fill out this form, if you prefer a weekday, indicate it somewhere....First game is the 23rd, draft should take about 2 hours. Last year we did it on a weekday as we couldn't find a weekend available for everyone. I'm good either way, with a preference for the weekend.

  CGT at Oct 2, 2023 2:47 PM
• Let's nail down a draft date for this. Can we do a weekday prior to 10/13 to allow for a couple of days prior to season start?
  McHale’s Navy Beans at Oct 2, 2023 2:39 PM
• Yeah, the 13/14 are bad for me too.
  Brickowski for 3 at Sep 27, 2023 7:13 PM
• Should we set an auction date soon? I am out of cell service on 10/13 and most of 10/14 but could likely do any other day.
  Please Come to Boston at Sep 26, 2023 9:13 PM
• Risk compromising sensitive personal data in order to go for a three-peat??? Worth it, no question.
  BILL WALTON'S SPORTSBONG 🥀 at Sep 18, 2023 11:34 AM
• congrats, we're all under the cap, some more than others. I'll start getting a draft date sorted out next week. Last year, we did it on a weekday and it took less than 2 hours. I'm on PST time, so anything after 6pm PST/9pm EST works for me, otherwise weekends. Enjoy this weekend!
  CGT at Sep 15, 2023 9:39 PM
• addendum from Niv:
  
  Just to clarify- this stuff is all a moving target and I'm working with Paydala to make this as easy for you guys as possible. Keep an eye on the forums as we start working with them.
  CGT at Sep 15, 2023 6:31 PM
• Respone from Niv fwiw:
  
  These requirements are legal requirements set by various states. These state laws are why we no longer work with PayPal. In terms of privacy, Paydala is very open that they do not store any personally identifying information:
  
  https://community.ottoneu.com/t/concerns-re-personal-information-and-paydala/13221/8?u=nivshah
  
  They are significantly better with user information than PayPal is. If you were comfortable using PayPal, you should be happy that we are using someone with more legal compliance as well as better privacy.
  CGT at Sep 15, 2023 6:21 PM
• Fwiw there is a thread in the community forum about it. I feel wary as well.
  
  https://community.ottoneu.com/t/concerns-re-personal-information-and-paydala/13221/6
  Please Come to Boston at Sep 15, 2023 4:41 PM
• I emailed Niv. I'll let you know. Seems to be the new trend with payment services though, I know Paypal is asking now.
  CGT at Sep 15, 2023 4:33 PM
• I have major concerns about giving my SSN to a site named Paydala... I was waiting to see how this shakes out - I hope there's some kind of workaround.
  Walden Two at Sep 15, 2023 4:07 PM
• info on renewing team at this link, said it should go live by tomorrow; https://community.ottoneu.com/t/how-to-pay-for-ottoneu-with-paydala/13220
  CGT at Sep 15, 2023 3:13 PM
• today's the day, make any final cuts by midnight EST.
  CGT at Sep 15, 2023 3:11 PM
• Penalty free cuts expire at midnight tomorrow, the 15th
  
  Looks like one owner still over the cap at this point
  CGT at Sep 14, 2023 12:37 PM
• final cuts due in by the 15th...
  CGT at Sep 11, 2023 1:40 PM
• looks like they took down the Renew Now option and are working with Paydala on some features. Last I heard, you needed to enter your SSN to make a payment through them and that seemed all kinds of silly to me so hopefully that's one of the things they're fixing.
