By the way, we still need a twelfth before Friday, right?

yep

Bernie_VK_Pit has told me twice now that he is going to sign up. I reminded him of it yesterday and again just a few minutes ago. I am going to give him until tonight and then we will have to come up with something else.

Ok, here is the deal. No one has signed up and it is less than 2 hours before draft time. I am not going to try and change this thing again. I am going to create a dummy account on ESPN using info from DLO and the other 11 of us will take turns being in charge of that team for a specific week. If we get someone that wants to join after the season starts then we have a slot for them. Otherwise we are going to do it this way instead of losing everything.

I am sure issues will arise like someone trying to trade with the 12th team. The only problem I see is if someone tries to stack their other team. Trades have to be approved so we can shut that down before it happens.

I will post the info once I create the account.

first week is in the books. could pan out to be an interesting year. no real blowouts.

here's a question, what should the protocol be for trading with the dummy team? It would be cool to work out a way to get each of those players into a real line up. can we come up with a way of dividing those guys up? like lowest scoring team gets a guy, then the next, and so on? it would create more parity/drama without actually changing the landscape drastically in one teams favor.

and which one of you is david beeder/

(past 6hrs, no edit)

ALSO One of the mods want to move this into the DLOFF private threads, and give the new guys access? I don't need all of my awesome bleeding into public.

I have gone in and added everyone that has posted in this thread to the fantasy football forum of the site. If you signed up for fantasy football, but have not posted in this thread, or do not have access to the forum, then post it on here. I will add whoever I left out or figure out the problem as soon as possible.
Also, after everyone has access to that forum I will move this thread to that forum.

Now, about the trading with the Monkey Man team. I have no problem with the proposal from Insomniac about dividing up the team. It kind of stinks that the dummy team scored the most points in the league. Please post your opinions on here.

Also, who is trading with the Monkey Man team and who approved the trade for the Monkey Man team? If the same person is trading and accepting then that is not cool. Also, I think we need to put that trade on hold until we decide about dividing up the team.

I did It because I wanted to trade two days ago. I then almost immediately posted here about how to work with that team hoping we could get it figured out in time to play any of those guys this week. (too late now)
I waited for a response for as long as I felt comfortable. No one responded. I thought the offer email would go to no one, and use the veto emails to everyone as the actual acceptance letter. I mean I would offer it (to no one) would sit on the table for two days then expire. I figured that if anyone had issues with it, it would go to veto and no harm done.
So I guess we'll see who is actually paying attention to this. Everyone gets an email about the trade.
Its a pretty decent deal for both teams though. a top 10 receiver for a top 15 receiver and a top 25 RB.
More or less maintaining his 1 receiver numbers (Megatron put up the same more points than wayne last year 5 times, while sitting out two games), while significantly improving his bench/flex options.
The numbers are just as likely to burn me as they are help me. (especially if the jets keep using LT like they are)

I just lost by one point, 73-72, thanks to Garrett Hartley's last-minute field goal.

hey guys, remember that trade I made with no one? Looks like I was on the winning end of that one today
