tanglewood1420: Oct 28, 2010; The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized

Last year I had a spreadsheet with all kinds of formulae and different machinations on it, trying to calculate value per WS, replacement level and all kinds of poo poo. This year I'm just going with my gut.

I look forward to the disaster.

Yeah I'm allowing everybody (1) small gently caress up since people usually do that D1 and not everybody is going to win every bid but IN THE FUTURE:

- You can't dole out more money than you have to players ($300), think about it like you hypothetically won every bid, it would be more than you have. If this happens in the future, I have to strike your highest winning bid.
- You also have to save enough to fill the rest of your roster spots with 14 other players, at least on D1. Do math accordingly after.

I have about 20/30 lists, so good job! I'll send out warning PMs within 2-3 hours of the deadline if I'm waiting on anybody by then.

oh man this is probably spergy but how about calling them $1 cap holds? So everyone starts with 15 required $1 roster cap holds, and each player you bid on can replace a cap hold.

I prefer to think of them all as some terrible, D-League talent.

Everyone starts with 15 Deandre Liggins

I mean, just mentally do that. There are tons of guys who will be gettable for $1 so just make sure you have buck free per spot.

Depending what happens I might just fill out my team with good players that goons irrationally dislike as my market efficiency. Lose the popular vote, sweep the 2K sim.

I cannot help but think that the entire league is going to overcorrect from how last time went, and players are going to go for super cheap on day 1

DC Murderverse: Nov 10, 2016; "Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

this may very well be the most exciting day of the game because even though some of us did this last year we have no idea how the new guys will play, or how everyone will correct after last year

and also there are a bunch of decent guys and a few really good ones.

excited to get Ty Lawson for $28
