I'm in. Also sent the join link to 2 of my buddies who have played the last 2 years.

Incidentally, I forgot who my nemesis was here. If it was you, or you remember me posting anything about "cursing your name" or whatever, please let me know.

It's a very active fantasy guy. So I bet hes just at work and didn't put the autodraft settings through right. I messaged him but I'm not too worried

Oh sure, it probably is. I'm just taking the chance to complain when I get it. We've got like 2 months.

Medusa has been turned to stone. Though we're further from our second time out, we've only had 6 picks.

Team King Lucas did in Medusa. 2 in the first 7.

Thanks.
I put the guy on the clock in Medusa on autopick. They had over 10 hours with the night suspension.

I'll watch that other guy who timed out and probably put him on auto pick 3 hours into their clock

I just checked the team list and Team Officemug is shown as "unowned." That seems odd.

Yeah, it was a pretty decent day for Medusa. Stalled a bit last night, but GCFC made it back before the timer.

Is GCFC from Medusa in here? The last couple of times it hit their turn it's dragged to a halt. We're like 5 hours into it today already, and that was after being saved from autopicking by last night's pause.

I've been eye balling Sanders for the past 3 rounds and then he goes 1 pick before me

Depends on which Sanders, but I can't see a guy who got his achilles broke in December contributing.

Pretty sure by the 15th guy on your roster in Auction, it's functionally just a draft with everyone down to $1 bids.

Can you draft from your phone? I am not seeing any way into the draft from my phone, and going to be out a bit today.

Yes. You can. I'm not sure how to get to the draft board from the league page. From the main Fantrax page you can click the bit that gives you a list of "All current and past leagues" then next to Fish Bowl click the down arrow and the third option is Draft Room.

I finally ran out of guys I was truly interested in drafting in the 18th round. It's all random number generation, hopes, darts, dreams, and injury contingencies from here on out.

I'm going to insult anyone who doesn't draft a dude with an ADP of 250+

i thought nonsensical draft insults were my domain, much like drafting every eagle in reach was 89's domain

dracula trivia:
the first redskins WR came off the board at 18.03 (by me)

hoo boy that team is gonna suck this year

I can't name a single redskins WR. I looked it up, and apparently I had good reason. I recognize names, but I probably won't be taking any before the 18th either.

I think someone had mentioned knowing Blasphemy in Medusa. If so can you let them know they're down to like an hour left, again?

I'm not going to lie, I love this bit. It's like distilled essence of drafting. 6 picks left, and I have 6 dudes. Due to all sorts of things, it's probably possible to get them all. But how best to? Also it's nice to be in a position to believe in a guy more than anyone other than his mother. I'll probably as disappointed, but still...

To be fair, a lot of the bitching is more a reflection of our enthusiasm and excitement to be drafting. Outside of the first dude in Frankenstein, I never felt like any of us were actually annoyed with each other.

Also, gently caress making the leagues smaller. This is all about the deep cuts.

Like I don't often get a chance to draft a dude with an ADP of 250+, but I get to in GFB!

My 53 bid was in Dracula, and him getting no bid in another division (plus the numerous people with invalid lineups) just tells me that many goons forgot about this league since it drafted so early. Happy to bid 50 on a starting QB who got all offseason with the starters in a superflex when later this season someone will be bidding 50 on another backup taking over via injury.

At least you're not the 73 or the 100 dude. I am a little surprised he went for free somewhere.

In the match between RDL20 and rob37 somehow they both have Dak. I didn't think that could happen before the finals. Likewise BenNevis and Viet Campo both have Phil Lindsay.
