Alright, I'll host yet another football season. I just want to use this thread to discuss what kinda league we should have this year. This is what I've thought so far:

12 teams this year (Last year we had 16 teams. Wasn't enough RB's in the free agency to deal with injuries so a hurt RB = a hurting team. WR's were good, QB's were decent, but still, 12 teams this year)

Use NFL.com again. It's a good fantasy source, looks good, has all the little perks and whatnot to allow a good source of play.

I kinda wanna make the ante a little larger then usual. Bigger prize pool will probably mean better activity. There was a lot of activity last year and I was happy to see it, but not all was easy roses. Also I shall be more attentive to the moves, trades, and adjustments and be the judge for myself rather then relying on what others say about a situation. Things got a bit hairy midway through last season, which is good cuz that means people do care, but still, things need to be a bit more monitored.

I'm also voting on using commissioner review rather then team voting. I'll hear all sides, I'll look into the full of the trade myself, and I'll ultimately decide whether the deal gives a player a major advantage or whether the trade can be advantageous on both sides.


So any thoughts, opinions, feelings? Feel free to start sharing. Also post if you're interested in joining too, as long as you're willing to pitch in the ante that we will discuss.

What we know:

There will be two leagues. Higher stakes league and lower stakes league

Lightning will commish lower stakes and I will commish higher stakes.

The leagues will be held at NFL.com.

One will not be able to participate in both leagues UNLESS there is not enough people to fill up both leagues.

They will be either 10 or 12 teams per league.

Leagues will start with league voting to veto trades. In the case that there is not enough activity to veto then there will be a transition from team veto to commish veto.

I'm in, and I'd rather it be league vote rather than a commissioner vote to be honest.

Bodolicious
04-09-2013, 09:00 PM
I would like that, but that falls within the category of getting enough active managers. Considering last years successful season, we might get that. I have no problem starting it out with team voting.

celestrial2
04-09-2013, 09:01 PM
im down

Austin.
04-09-2013, 09:01 PM
If I was smarter I'd join ;/

Iancookies
04-09-2013, 10:29 PM
Im definitely in as usual

@ Xynic, league vote is best, but like only half the league was active enough to vote, thus votes rarely ever got together. I also hope i dont ever, ever see a Brees for Rivers trade again.

Because i have a feeling teams who dont draft well will most likely quit halfway, i support a commissioner vote if it happens.

So starting out, league voting. If things don't go well, we'll do comminsioner voting. Also i hope we get a vote on what time/sched it is again.

Bodolicious
04-09-2013, 11:46 PM
Well of course I'll decide on a draft time that would best fit everyones schedule.

And there's no need to bring up that Rivers/Brees trade. True it was a long shot but it wasn't overly one sided like doing a Ponder for Brees or something of that caliber. It was by my decision and I support both sides and that's all there is to it.

Bodolicious
04-13-2013, 03:37 AM
Other opinions?

Lets talk about an ante. I wanna step it up this year. Make the prize pool a little more meaningful. What about uh... something worth 20x?



I propose I do 2 leagues, 1 with high stakes and 1 with lower stakes.

Iancookies
04-13-2013, 08:57 AM
If i could find the person who has all my goodies i could afford the ante , as of right now i cant -_- gotta see if he is still around

Xynic
04-13-2013, 11:45 AM
I propose I do 2 leagues, 1 with high stakes and 1 with lower stakes.
I think that'd be a better option.

Apollo
04-13-2013, 06:27 PM
I'm down for whatever

GoldenGates
04-14-2013, 08:36 PM
As Apollo said, I'm in for w.e.

TL24
04-15-2013, 02:41 AM
if only I could afford it-_- hahah still got unfinished business from last year.

Sashy
04-15-2013, 06:56 PM
I missed last year, no way I'm missing this year :D

Also, PPR all the way ;)

Bodolicious
04-15-2013, 07:06 PM
There will be a low stakes and a high stakes league TL24

Good Sashy
Yes I agree PPR all the way

ToxiCity
04-15-2013, 08:06 PM
Can I join both leagues? :o

Also, I'd suggest leaving the voting as league votes. You can change it to commisioner if 2-3 people go inactive. :x

Iancookies
04-15-2013, 08:43 PM
Alright i'll be in the low stakes one. I've become poor!

Xynic
04-15-2013, 08:47 PM
Alright i'll be in the low stakes one. I've become poor!
I'll spot you for the other league.

Iancookies
04-15-2013, 08:50 PM
I'll spot you for the other league.

Then i'll join the big league only, i have 3 gibles so you wont need to spot the whole thing.

Managing multiple leagues is pretty difficult. Gonna do one with mu irl friends too.

drakebubb
04-15-2013, 09:36 PM
I'd be in for the lower stakes one!

bobbyhill
04-16-2013, 09:01 AM
Ill join both leagues. Also I think league vote should stay but if too many people do go inactive then switch it up.

Sashy
04-16-2013, 07:07 PM
I'll join the high stakes, depending on how high, 'high' is...

Cause to rich narbs like Bodo high could be 20 times my account. lol

Bodolicious
04-16-2013, 07:12 PM
Sashy, I mean higher stakes then 2x G.Cranidos like we did last year rofl

Iancookies
04-16-2013, 10:28 PM
We did 3 x if i recall

Lightning
04-17-2013, 01:38 PM
I'm in of course. I'm sure f00sh would join as well.


I would also like to vote no on Ruinn joining. I'm not against him or anything but two years in a row, he took the top player then didn't do anything.

Iancookies
04-19-2013, 09:37 PM
Agreed, inactive people shouldnt join. Was fun last year because all of us were football fans and were active. We even had alooot of discussions about players, favorite teams and more.

celestrial2
04-19-2013, 10:15 PM
Once again, I'm down

Bodolicious
04-21-2013, 03:49 AM
Ok for high stakes... what should the ante be?

Xynic
04-21-2013, 04:00 AM
4 Gibles?

Bodolicious
04-21-2013, 08:36 PM
It'd be hard to get 4 gibles per person...
I would vote 2 of some gold worth 10x.

celestrial2
04-21-2013, 08:40 PM
why not just 20x of assorted golds? or if you want 20x g. vulpix fits the category quite well

Bodolicious
04-21-2013, 10:06 PM
What would people say to 1x g.vulpix apiece high stakes?

Iancookies
04-21-2013, 10:13 PM
i'll be fine with that. You sure u want to do both a low and high? I feel the lower ante league might just be ignored. I honestly want to do just 1 league.

celestrial2
04-21-2013, 10:19 PM
small ante should be a g. karp so people follow it just as much^

Sashy
04-23-2013, 06:45 PM
K someone lone me a G.Pix? ;)

drakebubb
04-23-2013, 10:45 PM
Well If its 20x I might not be able to do it. I'm not exactly rich.

Xynic
04-23-2013, 11:46 PM
i'll be fine with that. You sure u want to do both a low and high? I feel the lower ante league might just be ignored. I honestly want to do just 1 league.
I agree with this.

Bodolicious
04-24-2013, 01:35 AM
@Ian... yeah two leagues maybe just cuz I'd like to get some of the younger players in. But for sure I'm doing the higher stakes one.

drakebubb
04-24-2013, 11:33 AM
I only want the second league because I am poor

Elite
04-27-2013, 05:08 PM
If you have a free league or super low ante league I would join and be active. More active than the last 2 leagues (Football and Basketball) of yours I've been in.

Bodolicious
04-27-2013, 05:41 PM
Well Elite, I'mma do two leagues. 1 league for high stakes, 1 league for low stakes. I'll also limit each person to doing 1 league, either or. I'll obv. have to be in both though but we'll see.

Lightning
04-28-2013, 03:51 AM
Or I can host the lower stake one since I assure you I probably wont be able to make it for higher stakes.

Bodolicious
04-28-2013, 02:35 PM
That could work out if you wanna try that Lightning

Lightning
04-28-2013, 04:26 PM
It's up to you. We can even send the prize to your pool account you use for these things as well, just to show it's still a part of this thing overall.

Bodolicious
04-29-2013, 03:36 PM
Does anyone else have anything to say about Lightning running commish for the lower stakes?

celestrial2
04-29-2013, 03:37 PM
Well, are we able to take part in both leagues? Because I'd kinda like to do both

Bodolicious
04-29-2013, 04:04 PM
Don't know yet... If there's enough people to do both then no.

Iancookies
04-29-2013, 04:45 PM
I'll support lightning running the lower league.

drakebubb
04-29-2013, 05:58 PM
How much will it be to enter the lower league?

Xynic
04-30-2013, 09:10 PM
Does anyone else have anything to say about Lightning running commish for the lower stakes?
Probably the best choice out there.

Bodolicious
04-30-2013, 09:19 PM
So there will be two leagues.

I will host the high stakes and Lightning will commish the low stakes
drake, I shall probably leave that to Lightning to figure out. i'll talk to him though, I don't see the lower stakes exceeding 4-5x in ante.

Apollo
05-01-2013, 07:50 AM
I just want to join the league with the most people.

Bodolicious
05-01-2013, 02:04 PM
I vote everyone has to get 2 G.Arons for the higher league. D:

Lightning
05-01-2013, 07:32 PM
I has idea for ante on low stakes

Bodolicious
05-01-2013, 10:17 PM
Well, what is it?

celestrial2
05-01-2013, 10:28 PM
I vote everyone has to get 2 G.Arons for the higher league. D:

aron sucks

id much rather two abras/poliwags

Bodolicious
05-02-2013, 03:13 AM
Hmmm...

Abras would work. Or Poliwags...

How about 1 abra + 1 poliwag per high stakes entrant?

Lightning
05-02-2013, 05:40 AM
I was thinking 2x GoldenCranidos. celestrial2 tells me they are still 2x

Bodolicious
05-02-2013, 11:00 PM
Sounds good to me.

Lightning
05-03-2013, 12:32 PM
Okie dokie then.

Sashy
05-04-2013, 02:04 PM
For High Stakes I'd say Poli/Abra is fine...

We should set the ante soon though so I can go get what it is lol.

Lightning
05-04-2013, 06:37 PM
I just realized how much this sucks. All the cool people who I usually play with are in higher stakes league and im stuck in this low stake league with random people :(

Bodolicious
05-06-2013, 02:00 AM
Oh Lightning... would it perhaps be nice if I allowed people to enter both leagues if they want? I'd join both myself.

Sup Sashy. I am voting on a G.Aron + G.Poli for high stakes...
How about it guys?

Iancookies
05-06-2013, 09:25 PM
im cool with anything

celestrial2
05-06-2013, 09:27 PM
change aron to abra/drat!
but i agree with iancookies, im good with anything

Zidane
05-07-2013, 05:04 AM
Well, I looked through and only saw 2-3 people, not including me for the low stakes so probably.


Also, I could do the high stakes one if Aron is part of it since I actually have one of those :p

Baracuda23
05-07-2013, 06:57 PM
If there's room I'm n for either stakes league. 10-12 teams will def be easier than what we had last year. And yea ppr is awesome lol

Is there any way we could make the stakes instead of a specific poke like Aron+drat or whatever,do golds of at least a similar value? Like I don't have an Aron but I have a drat and a gible and some other stuff. It's just harder if you dont have them trying to get those particular pokes depending if anyone has any available and what they want for them, especially with rate messed up as they are.

If not though I still understand

Lightning
05-07-2013, 11:10 PM
That does sound better. Finding golds in the same range as others and using those. So that way people can look forward to assorted things instead of just 10-15 of all the same thing.

drakebubb
05-07-2013, 11:32 PM
Well how much x is it total for the lower stakes league.

Lightning
05-08-2013, 12:26 PM
4x, I do believe

Baracuda23
05-08-2013, 05:35 PM
Do we know for sure whether we can join both leagues or not, because id like to join both as well if we allow it :D

Zidane
05-09-2013, 12:27 AM
Not 100% sure if we can or not but hopefully in the next day or 2 we will.

TL24
05-09-2013, 09:40 AM
Spot me and I'll give you my winnings... Came in second last year, no fluke

Bodolicious
05-09-2013, 04:49 PM
I did decide that if the occasion calls for it, we will have players join both IF there's not enough to fill up both leagues.

I think that anyone who only wants to join the low stakes will have first priority and then we will fill up with the others. I do want to get anyone who wants in to get in ya know.

Also... how about we do this for high stakes instead:

20x in any golds, as long as the individual gold meets or exceeds a 5x mark?

Lightning
05-09-2013, 11:22 PM
I'm not sure if I can cover the high stakes but if I can, I'd love to join that as well.

Baracuda23
05-10-2013, 01:33 AM
That sounds good Bodo. I'm definitely in the high stakes one and I'd like to join the low stakes as well but I'll wait until that's sorted out.

Lightning
05-11-2013, 03:21 AM
I can still host the lower stake ones though, if you'd like. I don't mind.

Bodolicious
05-12-2013, 12:59 AM
Sure you go ahead and do that one Lightning

Lightning
05-12-2013, 01:18 AM
Alright. Just let me know if we can join both so I can see if I have enough.

Sashy
05-12-2013, 01:42 PM
For High stakes just make it Poli/Abra/Aron/Drat as the 4 usable golds a combination of them that equal say, 20x.

Bodolicious
05-12-2013, 10:28 PM
That's a pretty good option Sashy.

Anyone wanna refute that?

Xynic
05-12-2013, 11:05 PM
Someone make a list of the rates of those that everyone agrees on, so we know what combination to makes the required 20x

celestrial2
05-12-2013, 11:06 PM
For High stakes just make it Poli/Abra/Aron/Drat as the 4 usable golds a combination of them that equal say, 20x.

these are all 9-11x so this should be fine

Bodolicious
05-12-2013, 11:45 PM
Xynic, it'd be 2 of any combination of these:

Poliwag, Abra, Aron, Dratini

Lightning
05-13-2013, 02:44 PM
I got a question. Do they have to be base or can they be nonbase too?

Bodolicious
05-13-2013, 10:35 PM
1 base, 1 nonbase?

Zidane
05-14-2013, 02:14 AM
Well, I can make the High stakes, if we can do both leagues of course. I have a GoldenAron Level 4 and a GoldenAbra Level 777. I guess I could say the level 4 Aron makes up for the nonbase Abra but I figured I should ask first

Bodolicious
05-14-2013, 10:50 PM
Would make it imo, but that's up to you if you wanna play it. I know I'll be going in the high stakes for sure. Low stakes, hmmm... We'll probably allow people to join both but Imma make sure other people can make it in first before we start filling the leagues with people who wanna play both.

It's why I made this thread so early! Gives up a bountiful amount of time, room for discussion, getting everything ready before actually making the league. Gives us plenty of time to look for players to play.

Zidane
05-15-2013, 12:18 AM
Well, if I can do both leagues I will. I'll still host the lower stakes league but if I can join the high one too, I will.

Sashy
05-16-2013, 08:58 PM
I got two non-base Drat's, looks like it's time to get a base one D:

Iancookies
05-18-2013, 11:27 PM
i got 3 gibles to play with!

Apollo
05-26-2013, 12:08 PM
I don't feel like reading through all the posts..and if you have updated the original post I'm sorry too I'm on my phone lol..but what do I need? What should I round up

Sashy
05-26-2013, 12:10 PM
Xynic, it'd be 2 of any combination of these:

Poliwag, Abra, Aron, Dratini

Here you go Apollo.
Btw no QB hoarding this year like you did in the first one, K?

Mofo had Rodgers AND Brady in a 1QB league >_>

Apollo
05-26-2013, 12:28 PM
Um...yeah Sashy I had no such thing? o_O I did have Brady but my backup was Russell Wilson lol

Edit: Btw thanks for the info

celestrial2
05-26-2013, 12:30 PM
Here you go Apollo.
Btw no QB hoarding this year like you did in the first one, K?

Mofo had Rodgers AND Brady in a 1QB league >_>

how does that even happen? QQ
don't they both usually go in the first round?

Sashy
05-26-2013, 12:33 PM
how does that even happen? QQ

Apollo, The year before that one when Wilson was still in College. lol

But IDK they had both and I was stuck with Freeman. haha

Apollo

I never played here beige besides last year lol, unless I have a really bad memory

Sashy
05-26-2013, 12:37 PM
I thought it was you, might have been someone else ;x
My memory is shot maannn.

All I know is, Watch Ray Rice be the best runningback in the league this year ;)
A.D. isn't touching him.

06-12-2013, 10:14 AM
If there's a spot open for the lower ante league by sign-ups, Imma make a comeback. You bettah believe it :cool:

Bodolicious
06-13-2013, 08:46 PM
Sorry I haven't been around lately. Great thing I decided to make this thread many months in advance.

Elite, we haven't done any serious recruiting yet, just been discussing it and letting peeps know it's coming. Just getting an idea on how to create this one to fit many people's wishes.

Elite
06-14-2013, 03:32 AM
Oh alright. Is it sign ups ups or votes?

Apollo
06-14-2013, 09:33 PM
You all are going DOWN.

We all know whose winning here....

Elite
06-16-2013, 06:32 PM
If I don't get enough for the Higher Stakes I might just not play this year. Higher stake seems really fun considering a lot is on the line. I'll see tho

Sashy
06-16-2013, 08:25 PM
We all know whose winning here....

Me, duh.

and what year is that, and do you have a ring to prove it!

Sashy
06-19-2013, 11:43 AM
Two years ago, and yes, I made it myself ;)

But seriously, don't bring up rings my championship ring was stolen from me this year when the refs called a perfect field goal no good q.q

Bodolicious
06-19-2013, 12:13 PM
Ok so are we in agreement for the high stakes?

Sashy
06-19-2013, 05:31 PM
I believe so, but we should add Bagon to that list as well, since it rates in the same range of the others. And everyone just gives any combination of two.

Abra/Aron/Bagon/Dratini/Poliwag

Bodolicious
06-19-2013, 09:27 PM
I'm pretty sure most of that seems right. I know with Zack's 250x G.Arons he's got to trade those have to take some sort of hit. Idk any rates, so if anyone can PM me a list of current rates I can decide which golds would be acceptable.

Sashy
06-19-2013, 09:34 PM
Just sent a meeh one :/

Bodolicious
06-19-2013, 09:40 PM
I'll get a couple others and compare the answers and see where the agreement lies. But yeah those 5 look close. Man I'm too old for TPPC rofl

broadway
06-20-2013, 07:42 PM
u gotta hold a spot for me this year man haha ive always been too late to join so please hold a spot open for me :)

Bodolicious
06-23-2013, 01:37 AM
So the ante will be a combination of any two of the following as long as ONE is base level (Abra, Aron, Dratini, Bagon)

broadway, it's why I made this thread MONTHS in advance. That way anyone interested will have to see it.

Zidane
06-24-2013, 02:01 AM
And we agreed to 4-5x for lower league correct?

Bodolicious
06-24-2013, 03:12 AM
Yeah. It'll be a quarter of the high stakes.

Zidane
06-24-2013, 04:56 AM
Okay, not sure which golds would make that up. Any ideas?`

Bodolicious
06-24-2013, 03:07 PM
Gible, Magikarp, possibly Lotad.

Lightning
06-24-2013, 04:18 PM
Okay, what about Cranidos? Are those still 2x or whatever?

Bodolicious
06-24-2013, 04:19 PM
Yeah...

celestrial2
06-24-2013, 04:20 PM
actually i think cranis moved up to 3x :O

Apollo
06-24-2013, 07:25 PM
So...what do I need to enter again? What golds?

Bodolicious
06-24-2013, 09:07 PM
Apollo... 2 of the following golds: Dratini, Bagon, Abra, Aron

Iancookies

I just started the sign ups Hobo. Hasn't started yet, so ya got time if you wanna. Talked to f00sh, he won't be participating this year, not thatI blame him since of last years fiasco. This year I'll be a lot more careful about accusations though. Busy huh? I don't believe it.

Apollo, yeah, you really can't do any worse like ya did last year. But hey every year is a new year so good luck to ya

I'm taking classes this coming year that aren't in programming, so I can't blow through them like I normally do :p I'm also taking 2 weeks in august to go to South Korea, and then hopefully a trip to Vegas with f00sh later in the year. Busy busy! Otherwise I would definitely sign up, last year was actually a lot of fun. I've never been a HUGE football fan and that was my first fantasy league and it had me hooked! I sat there every game morning watching the scores :p

edit: That 1 point win last season had me on the edge of my seat!

Haha, yeah, I love the fantasy games too... been playing for 8 years and every year is just as fun. Even played in some money leagues, but only for basketball since that's the sport I understand the most and have the best chances of winning in. But hey, sounds like you got some cool things to do this year. Vegas with f00sh? That'd be awesome. But hey glad you liked it last year. I always look to improve my commish skills every year to make it even better then the year before. Last year was proof of that because of the drama that took place. If it wasn't a good league, there wouldn't have been any drama, so I take that as a compliment to my skills. But even so, we'll miss having you and f00sh aboard this year. Good luck in your courses and good luck in Vegas!
