I dropped the ball this year. Had some dollars remaining and forgot to assign them. It canceled out all my arbitration assignments. You're welcome fellas!
A Team Has No Name at Apr 1, 2024 11:26 AM -
Fellas, I'm sure we all got the email, but Arb is due midnight of the 1st. I'm looking at you, No Name, Justin, Taint, and Hit Me.
Project Mayhem at Mar 29, 2024 10:36 AM -
Alright I'm done complaining. See everybody next year. Project Mayhem looks forward to a successful 2024 under the leadership of Team Captain Baker Mayfield.
Project Mayhem at Jan 16, 2024 9:11 AM -
I am also interested in redirecting my refund to the winners.
🚬 Jay Cutler at Jan 15, 2024 3:42 PM -
I would like to echo what other people have said. I’m happy to redirect my $30 to the winners. I really enjoy this league and hope that we can continue it.
Supply and Demand is an SOB at Jan 15, 2024 2:37 PM -
agree with the sentiments here... it's really not about the money (have you ever calculated your "hourly wage" that winnings would translate given how much time you put in? it's laughable) it's about the GLORY of victory... happy to send my refund to some winners, and would certainly like to see this league continue... it's a bad taste in our mouth from this year, but I've been using ottoneu for a decade and I don't get the impression niv is out to screw anyone... just a series of unfortunate events this year
All The Food Is Poison at Jan 15, 2024 2:30 PM -
So the refunds have been there the whole time, but I (and I assume nobody else here) did not know that. I also did not know that two teams had not paid as I wasn't really checking on payments in week 10. So, at the core that's on me for not checking, but also god what a shit system.
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 2:08 PM -
Really disappointed in this. Did they only issue the refund to everyone after you brought this up? If his point was we should have address it during the season, then we should have been better notified that 2 teams had not paid. Or let us know that our league was in an invalid state, just like it does with our rosters when we're over the limits. While I know it's not about the money, I'm also happy to redirect that $30 refund to the winners. I would hate for this to be the end of the league given it's long history on Otto. But I would be open to moving to another platform if everyone is on board. Selfishly, I am also having my best fantasy basketball year ever in Mayhem's basketball league!
A Team Has No Name at Jan 15, 2024 1:07 PM -
I dont care about the money, it's the principle
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 11:38 AM -
Mayhem, I would gladly send my refund to the winner. at least try to make it right. as far as the league is concerned I would like to see it continue on. hopefully this screwup on Niv's part doesn't drive you away from the league. I have to say I think this decision by niv was foolish. not sure how to make people pay when you couldn't get a pay system up and running in time for league start. I would hope that all in the league would do what is right and make sure those who deserve to be paid for this year are. let me know how and I will send my refund where ever.
Ayahuasca On The Rocks at Jan 15, 2024 11:36 AM -
It seems that he’s upset that (probably) a lot of people did not pay for the season- I’m not sure what he really expected given all the payment issues, and I don’t see how he can expect the users that paid to bear the punishment for that, but so be it.
Adam's Not the Bay Area Boys at Jan 15, 2024 10:58 AM -
Final word from Niv - "If you had 12 teams draft but 2 of them bailed out, your issue should be with the 2 people who refused to pay for the service they were given for free for 9 weeks."... I'm done with this for now, I'll decide late whether I'll keep the league going or not.
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 10:57 AM -
Yeah no chance. If the payment system was not broken, all 12 would have paid preseason without a doubt.
Adam's Not the Bay Area Boys at Jan 15, 2024 10:51 AM -
He keeps saying we didn't fill the league, but 12 teams drafted and played 9 weeks. So we were supposed to recruit 2 people to join a league in week 10 and pay $50 for less than half a season. Very unlikely even if we tried in my opinion.
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 10:50 AM -
No worries - not your fault and you should not have been responsible for collecting those payouts as I’d attribute it to the sites payment issues…don’t agree with that decision from Niv.
Adam's Not the Bay Area Boys at Jan 15, 2024 10:47 AM -
Prize Payout Link - https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/prizes_and_refunds
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 10:45 AM -
All of you should have a $30 refund in the prize payout link. No prizes will be distributed for winners this year because we did not field a full league. This is my fault, as I did not make sure the two guys paid. I'll give myself a little slack in that the payment date was 1/3 into the season, post draft, and the payment system was a disaster. If I would have known all this I could have just bought the two teams myself. Either way, sorry to Bay Area and Gurley. For everybody else, you get $30 back. I'm not sure if I'll continue to do the league anymore. TBD
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 10:45 AM -
Definitely keep us updated, seems extremely strange the reward for winning the league would be a $20 loss
Adam's Not the Bay Area Boys at Jan 15, 2024 9:44 AM -
Yeah same which is why I commented on there about it, and he re-confirmed that we'd only get 30 each. Then I messaged directly and am waiting for a response.
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 9:40 AM -
I read his “end of 2023 season” thread and it only made me more confused. Good luck, lol.
Adam's Not the Bay Area Boys at Jan 15, 2024 9:17 AM -
Alright I am going to try and fix this. Will keep everyone in the loop.
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 9:14 AM -
Looks like $30 for me too.
Adam's Not the Bay Area Boys at Jan 15, 2024 9:13 AM -
Bay Area and Gurley, what's your payout look like for your the year? I'm only getting a $30 refund because we had two guys flake out and not pay in November. STRONGLY WORDED MESSAGE has been sent to Niv. If this stands I'm not sure league will continue. Over 5k paid in over the last 9 years. Ridiculous.
Project Mayhem at Jan 15, 2024 9:10 AM -
Congrats Mayhem! Trusted the process for 8 years. Congrats to Bay Area and Gurley for rounding out the podium. Next year tho..
A Team Has No Name at Jan 1, 2024 8:47 PM -
It'a been a long road. I want to thank our MVP Ceedee Lamb for an amazing season. Baker Mayfield, your 4th quarter against the Saints will go down in Mayhem lore. And a fond farewell to our Captain Pat Mahomes. Moving on as a champion.
Project Mayhem at Jan 1, 2024 10:45 AM -
Congrats on the championship Mayhem!
The not-so Gurley Show at Dec 31, 2023 11:25 PM -
The joys of fantasy football, where the 3rd and 4th place teams are looking to outscore the 1/2 teams by 30 points each ? why do we do this to ourselves?!?
The not-so Gurley Show at Dec 31, 2023 3:30 PM -
Bay Area what did you pay Baker? HOW MUCH WAS IT??
Project Mayhem at Dec 31, 2023 3:23 PM -
Another reminder to those over roster cap. January 3rd I am cutting the most recent pickups of anybody over.
Project Mayhem at Dec 28, 2023 9:31 AM -
Reminder to over the cap teams, under by the end of the year
Project Mayhem at Dec 20, 2023 9:45 AM -
Congrats to all our playoff teams. Outside my marriage and my dog this league is the longest commitment I've ever made. I appreciate everyone's participation.
Project Mayhem at Dec 13, 2023 10:24 AM -
With college auctions starting to fire up I just wanted to remind everyone of what was decided last year regarding being over cap going into the offseason. You need to be able to fill out an NFL roster at all times and need to be at 20 players going into the offseason.
Project Mayhem at Nov 29, 2023 11:34 AM -
Renewals have been extended to 11/7
Project Mayhem at Nov 2, 2023 8:09 AM -
The Great Poison Sell-Off of 2023 has begun-- first come, first serve to pick pieces off the carcass-- will move anyone if it benefits the future
All The Food Is Poison at Oct 31, 2023 1:25 PM -
All, we are now able to pay for this season via the Otto dashboard. New deadline for payment is 10/31/23.
Project Mayhem at Oct 22, 2023 2:20 PM -
Taking the always fun "would have won any other game" L in week 1... This is the way.
Project Mayhem at Sep 12, 2023 9:07 AM -
I have been fighting fires. East Texas has been on fire the last few weeks.
Hit Me Hard at Sep 4, 2023 10:24 PM -
Just as a reminder... these drafts are notoriously kinda of a disaster with lagging. From the forums looks like they were running terribly last week but seem to be in good shape now. Just everybody prepare to have to maybe pause-unpause or close out and reload a few times.
Project Mayhem at Sep 4, 2023 12:54 PM -
Spirits are high. Everyone is undefeated. See everyone tonight!
A Team Has No Name at Sep 4, 2023 12:22 PM -
I am so ready for the new season.
Hit Me Hard at Sep 3, 2023 1:32 PM -
Draft in a few days. Prepare accordingly.
Project Mayhem at Aug 31, 2023 8:38 PM -
DISCLAIMER: Talked with Taint and he got sidetracked with real life and forgot to make cuts. I'm going to make cuts for him. If anybody has issues with that feel free to message me.
Project Mayhem at Aug 24, 2023 10:22 AM -
Alright seems like the 4th is the preferred option. I have it set for 8 eastern / 5 pacific on the 4th. We can tweak time if anybody has a conflict.
Project Mayhem at Aug 6, 2023 1:28 PM -
4th works for me, too
Supply and Demand is an SOB at Aug 5, 2023 11:41 AM -
4th also works for me
Justin Jefferson & Co. at Aug 5, 2023 8:22 AM -
4th sounds good
A Team Has No Name at Aug 4, 2023 8:59 AM -
I prefer the 4th too
🚬 Jay Cutler at Aug 3, 2023 11:58 AM -
the 4th would be better for me as well
Adam's Not the Bay Area Boys at Aug 3, 2023 11:37 AM -
i'm working all day/night on the 3rd, so would prefer the 4th
All The Food Is Poison at Aug 3, 2023 11:36 AM -
As Poison reminded me, we need to set a draft day. Typically we have tried to do the weekend before opening Thursday. How does either Sunday Sept 3 or Monday (Labor Day) Sept 4 look for everyone? Evening
