We have 9 right now but really only need 1 more survive. And we need a draft date. I think we could figure out the rest. And The Game, I'm so sorry man... I really had faith that we'd fill.
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 22, 2024 10:21 PM -
I’m not resigned to it. I responded to the polls on draft times. I want this league to continue, I really like the format and the balance between dynasty and season long. I’d even be willing to take over doing commish things, if needed. My only thing is I don’t really know anybody who wants to join, nor do I have experience using the boards to do recruit new players (this is my only fangraphs fantasy league).
Kap's Soldiers at Aug 22, 2024 9:36 PM -
Left message when I joined no response..I hope we decide soon so NIV can refund us..but dint join for the league to fold..holding out hope
THE 🏈 GAME !! at Aug 22, 2024 9:34 PM -
Has anyone tried to get ahold of Brady Gaga? I PM'd him the other day and he's not responded. I somewhat have faith that this league could still go on. He was talking about a rebrand so if worse comes to worse, we could always pare down to 10 teams if we had to, right? Or has everyone pretty much resigned to the fact that this league is dead?
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 22, 2024 9:29 PM -
When you pick up a new team they give you 1 round of free cuts..If thats a problem just tell me Ty
THE 🏈 GAME !! at Aug 21, 2024 8:39 PM -
Made cuts allready..has the league made cuts yet? Figured it was only the new teams who had not..trading still open?
THE 🏈 GAME !! at Aug 21, 2024 8:38 PM -
Hey Game - thanks for joining. We don't have a draft date yet. And I'd hold off on any transactions/cuts until we hear from the commish. I'm not sure what the new teams will get to do at the moment.
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 21, 2024 8:37 PM -
Helloo all..I play another league with Mad Teeth..looking forward to an almost complete rebuild here but looks like fun..Fantasy NFL/MLB vet from the very beginning..OTT for 7 years also..Love this format..Will always keep lineups filled..meet deadlines and love trading..Thank you for having me..Also do we have a draft date? I only have 2 days unavailable at the moment.
THE 🏈 GAME !! at Aug 21, 2024 8:28 PM -
Okay, I posted to 3 baseball leagues, 1 basketball league and the Managers Wanted Slack as well as a couple of friends that have never played Ottoneu before. Fingers crossed.
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 20, 2024 7:48 PM -
There are 4 teams from our league posted on the Claims page. The bad thing about that, is there are a LOT of teams available there too. It may be up to us to promote the openings whether it be through friends/family or post to the message board/Slack. I'll post on my baseball message boards and a few friends. I'm would funnel them to the Claims page that way they can do it themselves. That is why I wanted to know what team Sebass's person was taking over. Any other suggestions?
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 20, 2024 10:41 AM -
Which team was taken (and which are still available)?
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 20, 2024 9:33 AM -
I found one person to take over a team, I sent his info to Brady
Seabass & The Fellas at Aug 18, 2024 11:34 AM -
So what do we need to do to fill the league / draft? We still need two? Or three?
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 18, 2024 11:17 AM -
I voted in the doodle
That's Sir Purr Bro at Aug 15, 2024 10:20 PM -
I've done little to zero effort to try and find new players have we posted that we're looking for people anywhere?
That's Sir Purr Bro at Aug 15, 2024 10:15 PM -
Yup, also nervous we don’t have a full league yet.
Kap's Soldiers at Aug 15, 2024 12:45 PM -
Anyone else getting nervous we don't have a draft date yet?
Keep Pounding at Aug 15, 2024 9:53 AM -
How's it lookin' for replacements and draft date? My other league already has a date I imagine others here have drafts soon too.
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 11, 2024 9:07 AM -
I agree with Mad Teeth re: requiring all teams to set valid lineups each week until they have been eliminated from the playoffs (when their lineups are grayed out).
Keep Pounding at Aug 5, 2024 9:04 PM -
I concur with Mad Teeth, especially on setting valid lineups.
Kap's Soldiers at Aug 1, 2024 8:12 PM -
Voted! As for re-branding, as long as we don't go to divisions. They serve no purpose anymore in my opinion. And would love to see some incentive for setting a line up every week. Even when out of play off contention.
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 1, 2024 7:48 PM -
Do we replacements for Purdy Good Time and Empire State of Mind too?
Kap's Soldiers at Aug 1, 2024 7:45 PM -
In case you missed the email/other messages, Jake Jortles has decided to step away from the league, and as a result, I'm now wearing the magic Ottoneu commissioner's hat. (Cue wild cheering from the crowd)
In all seriousness, thanks to everyone who did arb and made cuts on time. A few items:
-It looks like almost all managers are returning, and we only need to fill two spots (Jortles and Long Beach Miners). I'm making manager-needed posts to Slack and the Ottoneu Community board today.
- I've also created a poll for potential draft dates and time preferences, so please hit this link and fill out your availability: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bYloy9Oa.
- Lastly, I'm also considering rebranding the league and am interested in any feedback and/or suggestions you may have.
Here's looking forward to a great season!
Brady Gaga at Aug 1, 2024 11:49 AM -
Any thoughts on a draft date?
Mad Teeth Football at Aug 1, 2024 6:34 AM -
Reminder, Keeper Deadline is in about a week
Seabass & The Fellas at Jul 23, 2024 10:35 AM -
Hey y'all, I'm afraid to say I need to step away from this league and as commissioner. If anyone has interest in taking over as Commissioner (mainly just establishing a draft date), please reach out to me ASAP.
GingerLivesMatter at Jul 12, 2024 11:55 AM -
Baseball has taken over my brain, but arbitration is due in three days! I'll be contacting people that haven't gotten it done
GingerLivesMatter at Mar 28, 2024 9:36 PM -
I will not be returning next year. It’s been a blast, but I’ve lost my interest in the ottoneu game. Thanks for having me!
Can of Whoop-ass at Mar 26, 2024 10:35 PM -
Paid
Can of Whoop-ass at Feb 2, 2024 7:41 AM -

Sent! Congrats!
Mad Teeth Football at Jan 26, 2024 7:08 PM -
Yup! I got yours and I got Matt’s
Kap's Soldiers at Jan 26, 2024 9:05 AM -
Logan not Brian. My bad lol
THE 🏈 GAME !! at Jan 26, 2024 8:28 AM -
Kaps. I just sent you on Venmo. Can you confirm that you got it. Should be from a Kyle. Want to make sure I sent to the correct Brian!
THE 🏈 GAME !! at Jan 26, 2024 8:24 AM -
Sent via email first -
I apologize for the prize refunding. I had no clue that was going to happen. There were a lot of speedbumps last year with the ottoneu payment system that I believe are ironed out now. In the meantime, we already agreed to pay out prizes last year so this email is to collect them. Unless you are Brady Gaga or Kaps Soldiers, please Venmo $30 to Kaps Soldiers directly at @loganbkemp. !Please Include your team name in the payment so that I can help round up stragglers! I will have Kaps post on the message board to confirm that that is indeed his Venmo account. Email me at khaker3@gmail.com with any issues or questions
GingerLivesMatter at Jan 25, 2024 5:04 PM -
The Venmo that was sent around in the email is correct. It is @loganbkemp

That's Sir Purr Bro at Jan 20, 2024 8:20 AM -
Hey,
I had no idea that would happen. One manager did not pay in season and I could not find a replacement for the $50 fee that late into the season. I did not expect for a refund I will look into this and see if I can collect from everyone individually to send to the winner. We can vote on downgrading the league to a non prize league going forward but it was not my intention to do so.
GingerLivesMatter at Jan 18, 2024 7:09 AM -
Hey. Not sure if anyone else saw this. But, I got a refund for this league. I asked Nov and he said everyone didn’t pay so it became a non-prize league. Are we keeping this as a non-prize league going forward?
THE 🏈 GAME !! at Jan 18, 2024 6:53 AM -
Thanks! Sure was a more relaxing watch scoring 178 this year vs. 95 last year
Kap's Soldiers at Jan 2, 2024 9:39 PM -
178 pts sure is a good way to win the championship!
GingerLivesMatter at Jan 2, 2024 3:47 PM -
Hats off to Kap!
GingerLivesMatter at Jan 2, 2024 3:46 PM -
Congrats to all the winners! Looking forward to next season.

THE 🏈 GAME !! at Jan 2, 2024 2:10 PM -
Good to know. I was thrown off becuase when I checked I was the only one team that was not updated.
Kap's Soldiers at Dec 6, 2023 11:01 AM -
Fyi, there's a lag between when the week finishes with the Monday night game and when all the records and standings are updated. It usually happens sometime Tuesday morning. I'm not sure if it takes a manual process from Niv, or if it is aligned to the corrected stats, but it's been consistent. I took a quick look at the community forum but didn't find a relevant post.
Brady Gaga at Dec 6, 2023 10:59 AM -
Huh. Guess it got updated and fixed. Weird.
