SLAENT 2016 Yahoo NFL Fantasy Football Play or Die League (Season 3) Thread of DON'T TAKE A KNEE!
This post and the next 3 or so are placeholders for the info, which is on my computer (not posting from mine!)
EDIT: 8/19 - Sorry for the wait... boy Police sure get bored listening to you when their shit doesn't get stolen.
Is it tim efor the stock intro yet? Ok, used to be part of Cloudy's NeoGAF Fantasy Football thread (links to previous seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), decided to run the show here on SLAENT.com. Seasons 1 and 2 of the league can be read in those links, and here we are for Season 3 (link here). So what's new, you may ask?
Well... not too much. Season 3 of the SLAENT Fantasy Football Play or Die League will again be Yahoo 14-16 team League, in which 8 teams will make the playoffs and Top 4 get payouts (getting 4th should get you your initial buy-in back). The buy-in will be higher this year as we get more experienced now, I like the idea of $50 since last year was 40 bucks. Settings will be a bit different this year... It’s still a non-PPR league (PPR IS STILL THE DEVIL!), with double Flex but we’ll also have 4 bench spots PLUS 1 IR spot. Defenses will get an extra tenth of a point for forcing 3 And Outs (trying to give some love to defenses). Also 16 teams will not be required; if we have 14 we’ll have 14 and might switch to 5 full bench spots. We will use the FAAB system (best system), $100 budget for the whole season. You will get points for KR/PR Yards like last year. One big difference is something Enron and I talked about alot... First place will get a bigger slice of the pie this year, and will get more in the coming years... By the way, SLAENT's Private Message system has finally been implemented, so if you have any questions you can also PM me.

I already pm'ed you frankman but I'm passing this year. too poor and too busy. and it's way too hard to do anything in a league with this many people, at least with the amount of effort I want to put in to fantasy football lol.
someone can have my spot. I said last year I was done and i've deleted my team already. Never really felt welcome here.
By Minx Go To PostDo we have any ideas for the draft date? Dues?Currently editing thread. Sorry about that.
Is that draft date set in stone? If so I might have to leave the league. I'll be at work for that draft date and time.
By Minx Go To PostIs that draft date set in stone? If so I might have to leave the league. I'll be at work for that draft date and time.It isn't, give suggestions/times you'll be available in the Yahoo thread I'm putting up over here.
Ok looks like we are changing the Draft Date to Labor Day Monday, September 5th at 8:30 PM. Any issues?
It's rough for me. Earlier that same day would be an improvement, or not a night before a work day. I don't know how flexible the league can be.
By Gabyskra Go To PostIt's rough for me. Earlier that same day would be an improvement, or not a night before a work day. I don't know how flexible the league can be.How much earlier? an hour? I need suggestions so I can try to map out a range here.
I'm on the old continent so I understand my circumstances are unusual and I don't expect much change, I'm willing to adapt, I'm saying if people don't mind making it as early as they can, that's cool. Or any time during a week-end, that kind of thing.
By crazymoogle Go To PostHmm, a gamedev friend of mine looks interested, is there a slot available?1 vacant spot is available now, a second is pending Store Jerk's availability. If he wants in have him contact me/register here.
Tomorrow I'm doing my first mock draft... By this time last year I had already done twenty Yahoo mocks, 5 ESPN and a few others. JESUS.
Since there was no follow-up on my suggestion, I think I'll pass this year. New job starting in september, it's not worth being so tired. Good luck all.
By Gabyskra Go To PostSince there was no follow-up on my suggestion, I think I'll pass this year. New job starting in september, it's not worth being so tired. Good luck all.? I did follow up on the Yahoo thread and in here... again, I asked for an exact time range and gave time suggestions. How much earlier? What time/day? You posted, then I gave a suggestion of an hour and a half earlier which was done.
EDIT: Hope to see you next year though, I can understand real life stuff gets in the way.
vphys invited me, I am interested in joining your league hit me up and lmk is the spot still available if so add me I'm 100%
By Mgreen Go To Postvphys invited me, I am interested in joining your league hit me up and lmk is the spot still available if so add me I'm 100%PMing you info now.
For future reference for the people coming in from other sites... I'll need you to first register on this forum and PM me your e-mail address so you can take over the teams of one of the guys who didn't renew. You then should get a Yahoo e-mail asking you to take over the team, then you can rename it to whatever you like. After that THEN you can send me the PayPal dues, making sure to include your SLAENT name and your new team name.
EDIT: just sent a payment reminder e-mail via Yahoo to the four holdovers who haven't paid yet (cloudy, diehard, MBison, Kusagari)
By poppnfresh Go To PostThanks for the invite and nice site. would love to join you league!Cool man, PMing you the join details now. Cloudy, check your PMs also.
The Frankman I can't figure out how to send you a pm. Please email me the paypal payment info so I can pay my dues thanks.
By Mgreen Go To PostThe Frankman I can't figure out how to send you a pm. Please email me the paypal payment info so I can pay my dues thanks.Did you click the message icon next to your avatar in the header?
By Trey Go To Postyall still need one more?Actually we do. You want in?
By Minx Go To PostAny way to know the draft order ahead of time for mock draft purposes?Only if I did the order through a randomizer myself and posted it myself. Don't like it because it ruins the suspense of not knowing your pick.
Do what I used to do minx, mock from certain groups... 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16. one random spot each time. You'll have an effective range of who's going where after 10 or so mocks.
By crazymoogle Go To Postyeah no point in announcing draft order until everyone has paid up…yeah... that's a little odd. I haven't heard much from Kusagari and the others, and the queue is now empty. You may have to post in a GAF FF thread to see if anyone bites, I'll kick tires around here.
Ok we have a blank Invite spot you can grab.

By crazymoogle Go To PostWould be nice to have another 16 team season, but I can live with 1212 is like beginner-tier. At least we need 14. What FF thread did you post in BTW?
let me know if you need another person badly, i'll watch this thread over the next couple days.
It's fun but i know i suck and i'm just throwing $50 away lol

By diehard Go To Postlet me know if you need another person badly, i'll watch this thread over the next couple days.I need people who renewed back in July to come back, yes. baldy contacted me back in July and said he probably couldn't do it and that was cool, he gave notice in plenty of time. Here we are 3 days away from drafting... so yeah. Actually he to know if could rejoin, I should check with him.
It's fun but i know i suck and i'm just throwing $50 away lol
Trey need your e-mail address so I can invite you.
By diehard Go To PostDid i do some sort of renewal? I didn't think i did but i guess its possible.Yeah it's marked on the Yahoo site.
By Big Baybee Go To PostSo, how many have paid?I have 10 paid so far. baldy contacted me and I'm waiting to hear his decision (may need an extension). The two guys who joined recently I just gave the payment details yesterday. It's looking like we will have 14 unless something changes... if you guys still post on GAF can you post the league info/link in the various FF threads? Trying to fill up here.
The guys who have been radio silence I just removed their teams. Next year I won't do early renewal, too many guys renewed and pretty much never contacted me again.
