Dynasty

[Barilko]

I like Barilko's idea with the randomizer/choose your spot in year one.

Can't for the life of me understand why Milk would want #7 having the #1 pick though, especially when earlier the concern was bad teams not having a chance to improve. ..why oh why penalize #14??

The ONLY reason it makes sense is to keep teams from tanking late in the season. And anyone who would consider such a thing. .PLEASE, leave now

 

[Barilko]

no way no how will an MBBRLeaguer every tank

that conversation shouldnt even exist
anyone who leans towards that direction should walk away now...

it is easy to replace some one Lefty/Fuzz split up and tankers gone....

 

[Barilko]

here is the thing about TANKING... the whole purpose of a dynasty is to Build a good team... Some owners get lucky and they start of with a good team... For those who really have to build, tanking might be a valid strategy... You can't penalize an owner for playing the cards dealt to them...

If a team thinks they need to tank, then isn't it just as valid of a strategy as trading all your veterans for youngsters?? The goal is not to prevent tanking, it is to prevent inactive owners... those are not necessarily the same thing...

you want a tank watch a war movie or listen to
or cut the sleeves off of your T shirt

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I get the feeling that Barilko will be voting against any kind of tanking.

Nice win for you tonight Barilko.
N/M thats Joe that likes the 'Hawks.

Some of these conversations are like picking fly sh!t out of pepper. We are a community of fantasy nuts or we wouldn't be here in May. We are here for enjoyment and competition. Tanking is not an option and I find it a bit insulting that it even came up.
IMO - There is no prevention for every scenario to bend or break rules other than honor - and I think everyone interested in this league are honorable. If not, they get sorted out and by vote should be booted. Simple.
Now, I fully understand some topics need discussion in a new league, but if we keep spending days on end on one topic we'll never get started. Let's move on. ...

I wouldn't bench my healthy starters and I hope no one else would, but I sure as hell would trade the present for future assets. I think there is a clear distinction between the two. Also requiring a full lineup would help deter this some.

This.

Moving on what is left.

Already set
14 teams
No rule 5
18 man roster no IR and 9 starters

Remaining discussions
points
schedule is easy with no divisions..... everybody plays everybody once.
Anything else?

Think we should move onto points/scoring. .Milk says he's got 12 pages of things I can hate..I'm interested to see what they are. Might implement a couple in my own, crazy scoring system league, doubtful here though

it is 12 pages, but some are assuming my previous rules get voted down... so it may actually be shorter if everyone likes the "different" rules i like best...

Also, as creative as i like to be with rules and scoring, we need to make sure the site allows for these rules... so really before we do scoring we should really talk about fantasy site...

There's one I agree with. .see it does happen.

Unfortunately every free site is very limited in customizable scoring. Pretty sure Fantrax is far and away the most customizable free hosting site

I really dislike the way this conversation is going. Smitty, people really do that in dynasty leagues a lot? Tank fucking games?

Am I naive or something in thinking that is just despicable? This will be my first dynasty league, so maybe I am. Or maybe I take things too seriously.

In my experience, it's a very common practice. (Which was a major motivator in my search for a parity option.). I'd never really thought of it any more than a Suck for Luck type thing though. Owners that do it get mocked, but that's it.

 

[broncosmitty]

I think it is the term tanking... teams won't bench their best players, but on years they know they need to do bad they may make the risks to start dangerous players... I don't fear tanking, i fear the owners that are not active... Often they are the same, but not necessarily...

I doubt anyone here will tank to the extent of benching their healthy best players...

Teams definitely bench their bench players in order to tank. From what I've witnessed, tanking is just as time consuming and demanding as normal attempts to maximize weekly points. Only in reverse.

Sorry guys, had a busy day yesterday and didn't have time to catch up.

Agree to already set. I think the next thing to discuss would be draft order to begin the league, and then for following years. I'd like to save scoring for last, could take the longest.

 

[Microwahevo]

Only team owners should determine who they start week to week. For NO REASON should anyone other than a team owner make a roster move.

But I do agree that tanking is weak. Just not as weak as adjusting a lineup against an owners wishes.

Disagree. If it's a money league and an owner doesn't pay, no way should that owner take away an opportunity for an owner that paid to win money, and the title.

Scoring should be simple? I hope....

My Proposal:
No PPR (wouldnt mind .5 rec tho)
No Bonus
6 pt all TDS
1 pt 25 pass yd
1 pt 10 rec/rush yd
-2 turnover

 

[Ram Tough]
