Also phishead, can you add code tags to the address in the OP. As you can see the board is messed up and adds a space on long strings. This may confuse people trying to cut and paste the address.

Ok thanks Hueristic for catching that, I updated the OP.

As for draft date, I definitely can't do weekdays/weeknights because I work pretty long hours during the week. I would be way more down to draft sometime on a weekend, but preferably not that last weekend in August.

OK then post you available times and days and we can see what works for us.

Confirming receipt of Hueristic's 1 XMR buy-in. I'll send mine later tonight and post when I do. Weekends are usually good for me, or most days between 6-10pm PT.

[jwinterm]

OK, my money is in too:

Auto-drafts are lame for a lot of reasons, but the main reason is the fact that if you default to the "next best pick" you can still end up having a full lineup, but you might have like 4QBs sitting on your bench or something stupid because the computer is picking what's ranked as the best out of a predetermined list.

That has never happened in my experience.  The auto-draft algorithm at Yahoo is smart enough to give you 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 4 WRs, 2 TE, 2 DEF, etc depending on how your league is setup.  It never loads up on one position, but is indeed assigning them based on a pre-season ranking.

FYI I never take 2 TE's and since we are doing a standard league there is no DEF.

So I've just done a mock draft to see how long it would take and it took 20 minutes and thats not bad at all.

Here is the link to do a test draft.

LOL, I did 2 mock drafts and got a D- and a C . Guess I gotta do a little scouting before the real draft.

Not sure if this link will work for you guys.

Alright guys, so I have been able to verify that everyone has paid with the exception of want0sell.  Not really quite sure what his/her status is but I still haven't heard anything... so it could just be 4 of us here, which leaves us in a weird situation if we don't get more people to play. 

typically at the least you would need to have like 8 teams to play, then have our "play offs" during the last two weeks of the regular NFL season.  Not quite sure if I can set up a league with only 4 teams, but I'll see if I can manage something like that.

I will PM everyone and get your emails you want the invite link to be sent too (because apparently I can't just copy and paste the link to you).

So, what needs to be discussed is 1) how can we get more people to play, and 2) what should we do if we can't get more than 4 people to play.

Keep posting reminders on reddit and here. Like every few days until draft?

Has anyone tried slack? I'm assuming someone has done reddit. I don't frequent either much at all. How about a notice in the Monero irc channels? I'm know there is as script for banner ads but don't know the channel rules on the subject.

[jwinterm]

I posted some threads on Reddit a week ago or so, and mention it in IRC occasionally. Maybe time to start pinging people specifically if you know anyone who might want to play.

I Pm'd a few people a while back and it turns out all my internet friends are not US residents! Lol who woulda thunk it.

My RLF's don't get into fantasy, they just wanna drink and watch the Pats win another one.

I think this needs to be changed,Unless you just want to fill one side and leave any empty teams on the other?

Code:

Team and Division Settings
East	
Team floam412	Team monerobux
Team 3	Team 4
Team 5	Team 6
Team 7	
West	
Team 8

I'm guessing you will change this when we decide on a date?

Code:

Draft Type	Offline

Lastly I think the trade review period is too low. We will need time for everyone to be able to weigh in on a trade 2 days is not enough. Also the votes needed will need to be adjusted if we don't get other players.

Looking Good So far.

So, a couple of things.

1) We really need to start thinking of a draft date.  Apparently a league with only 4 players will work, but it's the bare minimum of teams to make the league work.  So with that being said, we can still accept more players but can't lose any.

2) Hueristic has been having issues with creating an account on ESPN.  LennyCarl, can you sign up as soon as possible to see if you have issues as well?  If there are more issues, we can just go through yahoo or something like that.

I get a "We are experiencing technical difficulties" when I try to sign up. I'll try again later.

Hmm, alright. Both of you guys try again a little later and let us know. I can create another league in yahoo if all else fails. As for draft dates, who is absolutely opposed to doing it on a weekend? I vote next Sunday August 13th if that works for anyone?

Saturday or Sunday is fine but it depends on how late in the day (the later the better). I will be on the east coast that weekend. Please, let's try to do it in the evening.

Your probably blocking one of their IP's or JS or a Popup blocker is causing this. I had a hell of a time allowing their nonsense ip list js and unnecessary ads to just login.

Phis, the new invite worked fine. thx

I'll have to use a VM to play as I'm not leaving all that shit open when playing.

[LennyCarl]

I am in now. Says I'm joined.
 

[phishead]

Alright so I'm assuming everyone is in (on mobile; haven't logged back on ESPN). I can set up the draft date to start this upcoming Sunday in the late afternoon, maybe around 5ish? Days that work for me are limited, so if this weekend works for you guys, let's do it then.

I wasnt able to get anyone else to join, but since four technically works I guess we'll be fine. I might make one last post on Reddit or something, but thinking I might avoid it because I don't want to be the spammy guy. Not to mention 4 xmr is like $200, so it's a reasonably big pot up for grabs.

So let me know if this Sunday at 5 PM (EST) works for you guys... I can even do 6-8 PM, but anything starting past that is getting a bit late for me.
