Sorry for my absence, unfortunately there were a few reasons for that.
Will pay in the next few days if this is fine?

Draft time sucks for me as a European, but I guess I'll just accept it.

No worries.

Most of us are indifferent, we can make an adjustment if you have a suggestion.

Time for a little spam. sorry not sorry.

I set up a NFL prediction pool on the Sleeper app and I'm hoping you guys join.  Please spread the word if you know of anyone who might be interested.

I definitely in for the prediction pool.  I saw the option to set those up on the sleeper app when it had set up my league as well as started to manage my dynasty league a bit more closely. 

The draft time does kinda suck, especially if I'm a European, I wouldn't be opposed to bumping the time up and hour or two or three earlier if that made more sense for them. Again, I'm cool with whatever and will make the time work.

There is no reason for you to accept anything except a vote by the majority in this league.

If you had mentioned this previously then we would have addressed it then.

With that being said I doubt anyone will have an issue bumping the time up a few hours to accommodate you.

Send  a pm to everyone in the league and ask them to post in here that they will accept a new time that is good for you and if there is no-one against it then we will make it so.

Everything is this league is in the open and all you have to do is speak up if you want a change and that is what we have been doing for the last month or so which I have noticed you have not bothered to participate in.

Sorry but must have ignored all notifications about this thread.  

I'm just hardly on the forum anymore or I actually read something here. I would be there again this year, I just have to read through everything you've already discussed.
I just have to make sure the draft time works for me because it looks like I'm the only EU player?

This was your only post I can find from 2 WEEKS ago and you never followed up so all we can do is assume you were ok with what we all agreed on.

So figure out what time is good for you and make sure everyone knows so that a change after we already agreed on a date does not screw someone over and they miss the draft because they thought it was already set.

Sorry if I'm sounding harsh but jumping around last minute when everything has been discussed for months is childish and that is one thing I just don't like to deal with.

ADDED: I have no problem with 12pm on, so up to 9 hours before the currently set time.

Well one of us is gonna screwed no matter what time it is.

For the record I am good with up to +/- 2 hours in either direction from the current time, although I think most of us already had the draft time set in our minds.

Sorry to get all mathematical, but that's why they pay me the big bucks.

I may be wrong on both counts, but I think you're 6 hours ahead of EST and Nutildah is 12 hours ahead.  If we do 6pm EST (3pm Pacific) on Saturday, that'll be midnight for you and 6am for Nutildah.  Would that be a workable compromise for everybody?

[ChiBitCTy]

Payment sent (Wolf sent you a tx via discord).

Looking forward to our draft, regardless of time & date (hang in there Hueristic, this part of bn commish is no fun lol)

6 am on a Sunday... OK I'll try if it means not having to have an odd number of teams.

Sounds fine but dont get me wrong... if everyone else was more satisfied with the previously suggested time, we should leave it at that. 
This should simply be decided democratically if there is any doubt. You can never please anyone. Especially not with these different time zones

I found this on Reddit and thought it might be useful to some:

"How to expand the Y@hoo Draft Room and remove the unnecessary clutter to be able to see more"

source: https://reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/1ewwhrb/how_to_expand_the_yhoo_draft_room_and_remove_the/

I had a post 2 years ago on how to remove the useless footer in yahoo draft rooms and it still gets attention from time to time. So thought I would make an updated post

I hate only being able to see a few rounds of the draft board and not being able to see a lot of players coming up

So copy this javascript and paste it in the console on your draft tab.

CTRL+SHIFT+i for windows, CMD+OPTION+i for mac to open devtools, then click the console tab on the top

Code:

/* Hide the bottom nightmare */
let divs = document.querySelectorAll("#draft > div");
divs[divs.length-1].style.display = "none";

/* Expand Player List to bottom */
const playerListing = document.querySelector("#player-listing").parentElement.parentElement;
let inset = playerListing.style.inset.split(" ");
inset[2] = "0px";
playerListing.style.inset = inset.join(" ");

/* Expand Draft Order to bottom */
document.querySelector("#draft-order").parentElement.parentElement.style.bottom = "0px";

/* Expand Chat to bottom */
document.querySelector("#chat").parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.style.bottom = "0px";

I've used it for a few drafts alreday, here's before and after:



From what i can tell, the code is clean and does not include anything malicious. It's a simple appearance change, which imo, makes a huge difference.

Of course, if you don't trust the code/source and don't know what you are doing, you are better off not doing it!

6 am on a Sunday...

Lol, 6am would actually be the ideal time for me.  I have a mt bike ride planned for late Saturday morning and as it is I would have to rush to get back on time.  How about we trade?

9am EST (6am Pacific,) which would be 9pm for Nutildah and 3pm for Seek3r.  Does that work for everyone?

Nice!  @wheelz1200, would that conflict with your kid's soccer schedule?  @Hueristic, can you be up that early (or stay awake that late?)

No, Noon EST is the earliest I can do and that is pushing it.

Just thought I'd sneak this in here real quick in case it might be beneficial to any of you guys.. on reddit recently an add popped up for Fanduel and is currently offering with a $200 deposit, receive $5 in bonuses as well as 3 free weeks of NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube and or YouTubeTV.  I live close enough to the Bears where I'll get every game via my regular TV subscription, but when I lived in Florida years back I had to purchase NFL Sunday Ticket every year.  So, figured in case anyone is in a situation like this, might be useful. 

It also prompted me to write this up (can you use bitcoin on Fanduel   ..figured I'd throw this in this post too - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5507621.0 )

Whatever we are choosing as draft time we need to figure it out. We have just over a week and the season starts. I keep getting notifications that we haven't set a draft time lol, got annoying so I silenced notifications from yahoo til we start.

Doesn't matter what time we choose, looks like someone will be fucked staying up late or not going to bed at all. Early am EST sucks for me, but i'm not a pansy like most of you seem and I can manage to stay up all night.

I got the update that the draft was set, and if you open the app it'll show the date as well as the draft time (it will base it off your timezone, unless of course you're on like Tor or using a VPN. 

So guys I've been thinking long and hard about the first pick.  Gone over all sorts of scenarios , crunched some numbers, made a few phone calls and have officially decided that with the number one overall pick, Team ChiBitCTy will be selecting ...okay yeah I still don't know lol. 

Look like the yahoo app has done a little updating, which is nice.
