 This is the Marvel Heroes Goons Inaugural Fantasy Football League. Click here to set up your team. This will be a standard yahoo rules league with a .5 PPR. The positions are QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, RB/WR/TE flex, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN. There is a one blessing buy in for entry into the league. Alternatives to the blessing buy in can be discussed and approved by the team owners as needed. Teams (Marvel themed team names greatly encouraged. Non-theme names will run the risk of being renamed something suitably nerdy and horrible) Owner / Team name / Buy in status Trast - "Doom needs no huddle" - Collected Tom Gorman (Zedmore) - "Sister Ministers" - Collected Spudsly - Capn Americas Team - Collected Fastestgunalive - "Kurt Wagner Warners" - Collected Shino - "BAMF" - Collected Harlock - "Vishanti's Playbook" - Collected Nutter Better (YeNotGuilty) - "GuardianOfTheEndzone" - Collected alansmithee - Alan's Dumb Default Name - "" Disco Bandit - Returns of Raggadorr - Collected StashAugustine - "Guten Tag Football" - Collected Waiting list for openings: KO Derf - "" - "" DrBonerton - "" - "" All rules and tweaks have been finalized. Turn in your buy in to your benevolent and handsome commissioner. This will be my first time being a commissioner. So if I make any mistakes it is obviously Reed Richards fault.  More Kirby art just because.

I would like to join and the draft time works for me. Witty team name to come later. I can afford the buy in.

Signed up as The Sister Ministers. (Zedmore in game) Draft time works fine for me. I have another online draft and 1 in person draft that exact day and this one is earliest, so I'll be generally sober. Never done that before, hope it works out ok.

Made a quick change to the positions by changing the third WR into a RB/WR/TE flex spot.

Signed up as B A M F. Draft time works, but I'll be a little tired as that's 8 AM for me. No worries though.

havok9 posted:I'm interested, but can someone explain to me what the buy-in is? The buy-in is a silly item enchantment in the game Marvel Heroes that serves as a currency when trading for desirable items. It takes a couple hours (ish) to get one if you're just dicking around and doing quests. Edit: if you're not currently playing the game and like Diablo click-em-ups and Marvel comics, you should be!

It is just a way to make things interesting and make it fun with a prize pool. If you don't play or are just starting to play I am pretty sure some alternative to the buy in can be made so everyone gets to play. shino posted:Signed up as B A M F.

Just signed up under GuardianOfTheEndzone (stupid character limit). My name in game is YeNotGuilty. The draft time is fine with me. I usually like it when the reward is split top 3 (7,2,1 blessings or something like that) but I've been in winner take all leagues as well so whichever.

Sadly I may have to pull out. Unless you can do during the week next week. Out of town all this weekend.  Wish I could have done this but schedule is tight.

I'll keep you penciled in for now. Nut Better posted:Just signed up under GuardianOfTheEndzone (stupid character limit). My name in game is YeNotGuilty. Will add you to the list of teams. Also I will make a wait list for anyone else interested in case the originally penciled in players have to back out or if we expand to twelve teams.

Words because FOOTBAW 1. If we're only running 10 teams (or 8) I recommend 2 QB/2RB/3WR/Flex/TE/Kicker/Def for starting lineup. Otherwise everyone ends up with superstar teams and you don't really need much of a bench because there's gonna be good players always on the waiver wire. 2. I'd personally prefer 1 ppr vs. .5, but if other people have a strong preference I'm amenable. 3. I'd really like to have an auction vs. snake draft. Makes sure everyone has a fair shot at whatever player they want, if they're willing to pay. And saturday won't really work for me, got 2 drafts running all day. I'm entirely free Sunday, and likely Monday as well for the holiday.

alansmithee posted:Words because FOOTBAW Regarding number one I think if we are at eight or ten that expanding the positions would be fine. Unless there is any objections I will add some if that is how things shake out. Regarding number two PPR seems to bring out strong emotions in people so I set it as .5 as a hedge. If people want to go to one full point I am happy to do that. Regarding number three I like auctions too but snake is easier for beginners and this is going to be a beginner friendly league.  Draft time headcount Fine with August 30 2:00pm est : Harlock, Tom Gordon, Shino (would be 8:00am his time), Nut Better Issue with August 30 2:00pm est : Eiffel on You (out of town for weekend), Alansmitthe (Sunday would be fine), FastestGunAlive (Sat evening, Sunday all, Mon evening, Tue all) If you guys could let me know if Sunday August 31st might work so we can be accommodating as possible. Trying to nail down a time where we can get the most participation. Finally which one of you is the Kurt Wagner Warners?

Sunday works good for me, either way I'm free all weekend. No objections to 2QB, don't really care either way. Same with full PPR. Snake is definitely easier for first timers. I'm fine with that. I'm pretty easygoing with fantasy FOOTBAW

I don't have any objections to 2QB/full PPR but let's stick with Snake for the draft especially if some people might miss it and have to autopick. Trast, I'll try to be on all of today to give you my buy-in, in-game-name is heyitsshino.

Looks like moving the draft to Sunday at 4:00pm est gives us the best participation possible. I will switch the draft to that.

Not to nitpick but what is the point of having divisions? It seems like the only tangible outcome is to make it so teams with the best records don't necessarily make the playoffs

I locked the roster with Stash signing up. The draft is Sunday 31 4:00pm est. Draft order is randomized by Yahoo thirty minutes before draft time. Everyone should toss a hela on an artifact and get it to me before then so I don't have to hunt you all down.

Wait, are you talking about head to head or having divisions? Head to head is great and is common practice, divisions is just a bit of a drag because it ends up inevitably putting people in the playoffs because of their division rather than their record. I fear I'm coming off to strong though, I was just wondering what the advantage was. Spudsly fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Aug 30, 2014 |

Don't worry though things are set to seed the playoffs by overall standings by default so I left it.

Just FYI I should still be able to make it but just had a bunch of stuff blow up at work that I'm being called in on. If I'm not there at the start feel free to have the autodraft fire. I'm sure I'll be able to make it up anyways with my superior trading and waiver wire skills
