I wonder what the clock is for an auto pick. Normally it is only 1 or 2 minutes.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I understand you guys are trusting, and there are certain things that "won't be an issue", but immediate trades is something I've never heard of outside of MBBRL.

It's still weird to me.

14 people is 14 different minds. My trades shouldn't rest on the shoulders of anyone but me and the owner I'm dealing with.

Barring obvious collusion I agree. I would hope that wouldn't happen as we are all competitive folks

I've never been involved in a league with collusion. Never, in 21 years.

I made the first pick for Foot b/c I don't believe he had auto pick set. I emailed Fantrax about that and they said that I can make picks for anyone as the commish. So if anyone needs a pick made b/c they're afraid they will miss their pick, I can do that.

Also, first two picks have been made. @SteelersPride is OTC(not that we need this update).

Treff was doing a better job of settling my nerves on that one. Hahaha (seriously, I don't agree with that sentiment what so ever.)

There's good reason why all trades have to be evaluated by the league office in real sports. I think it works the same, in general, in fantasy. Sometimes there are traded that only make sense to the owners involved, doesn't mean it's not on the up and up. But there are 12 other owners who could view a deal as (and I'm trying to think of a word that doesn't make it seem like I'm assuming people will cheat) undesirable for the league as a whole.

Sadly I have...not fun

Me too. I left the league at the end of the year.

And that scenario is severely limited. Like never gonna happen limited.

I agree that there are many NON-COLLUSION trades that hurt the league. and I would love to prevent it... I have Milkian rules to prevent it... But you have to also know when to pick your battles... this was not one for me to even try suggesting rules...

 

[TKOSpikes]

Plus, the most important part is the wait factor. Especially these days with Thursday games.

Okay.

This league exploded. 6 managers left immediately midseason

The one I was in had been around a few years. It was my first year in it. I noticed early on that four teams were being a little shady, so I tried harder to beat them. Then did not return the next year.

I saw damn it - - you need to reconsider yours ........

Were you planning on making him your first pick?

 

[broncosmitty]

ODBJr - Foot
Andrew Luck - Micro





For reference.

Well of course not - - what team owner would want to draft their franchise QB in the first rd ?? That's just craziness. Fuzzy and I have decided to go with a kicker since they have longevity ....

QB? I thought this was a baseball league.

 

[TREFF]

Knew there was no way Luck would fall past 3-5, another reason why I just went with #14..but. ..
