And don't all abilities break a rule of magic (Haste breaks the "summoning sickness" rules.), so whats wrong with created abilities breaking the rules if they seem intuitive or the like?Posted in: Repository of Creative stuff

Some differences:
We run the "flext" spot with a TE as well. This doesnt matter as usually you want a WR or RB there, but its one addition.
We "snake" draft. You draft opposite the next round (1 drafts last, 2nd drafts 2nd to last, last each round drafts twice basically)
My advice: Start reading up on stuff. Just read. Dont buy into everything every pundit is spouting, but still look for interesting things. Is a guy getting overlooked, even though he seems better than that? Might be worth throwing a pick on when you feel comfortable about it. Remember that your early picks are mnainly for your studs (the guys you know will drop you 15 points a week), while later on, those picks are for unproven guys/rookies/your lottery tickets.
I think we are now 1-3+ more people away now
Also, I commish'd last year and wouldnt mind hosting again. I'll go drag the thread back up and see if people wanna go once more around.
Sell me on why Jori En is good. I think that its meh, but making the ability how I'd want it to be would be extremely beyond broken.
Anyways, just prove somehow that you messaged him. go read post 141 and the OP for my thoughts. I had something extremely harsh on here that I can repost, but basically said my thoughts.
Everyone has nuclear weapons and that means that something like who you have as your kicker or D/ST determines who wins. That excites me. It means that instead of just playing it safe sometimes, you take that risky D/ST who can get you 25 points or -5 points.
To begin, since its come to my attention: I messed up when I made the league, and made it the wrong way. The only thing this affects is that I dont have LM powers. If you make a mistake and drop a guy, message me or post here as soon as you can. It happened with someone earlier today and I was let known of ASAP.
Now if you drop a guy and a day later you tell me, thats where things get murky as he could of been injured, you heard it was bad and dropped him and then when you found out it wasnt as bad, you tell me you accidentally dropped him. Now mind you, I dont think any of you would do that. If there it comes up like that, I will not hesitate to put it to a league vote. Im setting this out now so that if there is a conflict of interest (perhaps, I just like to be safe), I can come back here and show it.
I understand that mistakes happen and I also know that the people in the league have mostly done this before and know where the line lays. We are all people, or whatever the hell you classify Steelers fans as, of whats fair.
My second point is that playoff match-ups are two weeks. That means that we will be going until week 17, which means studs will likely be benched and you'll have to go for back-ups. Plan accordingly.
My final point is that I am planning on doing this again next year. I am hopeful that the major changes this year (No QB Flex and Modified D/ST scoring [based on re-crunching last years numbers, its a +/- of 1 point per game for D/ST] are loved and as the season goes on, I'd love to hear feedback. Dont be afraid to ask questions or give feedback to me. My only change so far is to make sure that if we do this again next year, that I set it up so I have LM powers so that the first point about accidental drops can be fixed more easily.
In closing, lets have a great year and SCREW THE SQUEALERS.
However due to how ESPN works, if the 8th isnt there an hour before draft, then it cancels the draft.
So if by 5pm EDT, the 8th hasnt joined, I'll send an invite. All I'd need is your email address (via pm if you want) if that happens.
Also, BWW, at least in my area, arent very good. Just seems gummy and the sauces dont do it for me. Then again, Im very finicky when it comes to wings. I like them cooked a certain way (I like them fresh and simple. Oil/Gummy wings really are a big turn-off for me)
Same goes for you digi, as well as the other person's email address.
Hell, I even saw an idea for a 4 man league, where the top 16 (Top 32 RB and WR) positions were banned, so you had to draft sleepers.
League will be up soonish..... I have a party to attend and I at least wanted someone (not me) to be fine with this last second change. I always hated how D/ST was so high and ticked down so much. This way at least seems to mitigate the issue with "Bend but dont break" defenses and how they score. Limiting yards is very important, but limiting points is even more. 200 yards and 21 points feels worse in my eyes than 370 yards and 6 points.
