RE: It's time: Steemit Fantasy Football
Hi @full-measure. @boatsports90 mentioned that you had some open spots. Do you still have room for one more? I actually have some suggestions instead of a ribbon prize, why not also activate the second league options where anyone can rebuy in and redraft and play in the playoffs? Also, instead of using the post earnings as prizes, use it buy upvotes from bots to increase the grand prize. I have some bot strategies that are pretty good if we get lucky. Let me know.
Also, may i payin STEEM instead of SBD. I am trying to save what little SBD i have remaining since it stopped printing?
hey!! ya, we were wondering when you'd show up.. YUP, still 2 places, so join up. toss me your email and I'll send you the signup link.
Regarding the ribbons.. I think let's keep the general structure and format in tact, it's what people signed up for so I don't want to make any meaningful changes at this point.
Bots... I mean we could think about loaning SBDs from the prize pool to go towards bot votes. But off the top of my head it seems a little problematic, because I think half the rewards from the botting will go to SP and not be liquid? So like.. we'll pay, say, 1 SBD, be a little profitable when you factor in the SP, but end up with less than 1 SBD in liquid reward. It seems hard to be profitable on the liquid side.
I think I probably won't use them on my posts about the league, I've never used bots anyways. but if you want to make posts and bot it, go for it, and if there's a way where we can loan money from the league prize pool where it works out for everyone or whatever then we can def consider that.
sure, but I'll just convert it into SBD for the prize pool hehe. so send enough. might be easier to just convert your STEEM to SBD yourself and then send me the SBD?
you can do it inside your 'wallet', just click the drop down next to STEEM, and then click on 'market'.
WELCOME ABOARD!!
Yes if everyone agrees, I would be interested in the doing the weekly post and use the league prize pool to bot and increase our prizes. In terms of the liquidity of the post payout, i can front the non liquid SP that is earned from the post and make weekly payments to the prize pool holder after each post payout.
You should definitely do a weekly post! I'll resteem it. What I'm thinking is like, we can make posts and there doesn't necessarily need to be 1 official one. If you want to do a league summary each week, that would be cool!
and then anything I post.. I'll try to keep it fresh and different, you can do the main summary
for now let's hold off on thinking about loaning prize pool money for botting. The more I think about it, it seems a lot to keep track of. And I'm not really sure at what tradeoff, like if some people who would support the league will be turned off by botting. So I'm not sure. And if nothing else we'd need to talk about it on an email chain or something and make sure everyone agreed. So I don't want to just decide that we'll do that.
You should always feel free to bot on your own tho, and just subtract your costs before you send over the amount to the league, or whatever makes sense.
But you should definitely make posts!!
Sure, I'd post the weekly recap. I totally understand that some folks do not like botting. I am OK with or without using league prize money for botting. I am confident that I can generate a decent ROI to increase our prize pool. I don't think it will be hard to keep track since 100% of the post payout will go towards to league; all i have to track are transfers vs payout. Ultimately the entire group should make the decision to bot or not. I'm perfectly OK either way. I am just excited for the season to start.
cool! and ya sounds good!! I think what we should do is.. get the ball rolling, see how the content goes and what it feels like etc, and then we can do a group email to discuss botting/using prize pool money/any other thing
glad you're in the league and love your energy!!!
Thanks bud. I'm happy to be here. It's only my second year of FF but it's hard not to be excited. Such a great time of year. We can Discord or SteemChat instead of email for the group discussions; i think that's easier than email. And does our league of a name? If yes, we can use that as one of the post tag for easier tracking.
I post something hopefully by Wednesday. Will let you know the topic once i decide so we don't overlap.
Cool, sounds perfect
hmm.. right now for the league name I just wrote "STEEMIT4EVER" on Yahoo lol. Got any ideas for a better name or what tag we should use?
and ya, that sounds good regarding discord/steemchat.. email is a dinosaur sort of thing :p
I made a discord for Steem but I've barely used it, I think my name on it is full.measure (with a period, not a dash like on here)
try adding me if you want, I'll need to check later when I'm on my tablet
Haha, STEEMIT4EVER is not bad. I dunno, how about FantasySTEEMLeague or PLAY4STEEM?
I tried searching for 'full.measure', but couldn't find you. Please send out a room invite when you check if the room is still active.
Entry free sent. Thanks for hosting this league. Last year was my first FF league and I missed 3rd place by 2 points so I still have that bitter taste of defeat in my mouth, haha.
hahah nice, chance at redemption!!
thanks for sending. it's only 5 SBD tho. I'll send 5 back.
oh haha, my bad, thanks. Not sure why I was thinking it was 10 SBD.
I am trying to entice my good buddy @davemccoy to join our league. He would be a great addition. I think he and I will enjoy this fun bunch.
so looks like we're filled up now, after @bola registers
so @ dave "the real" McCoy has snoozed on it too long.. BUT, keep him on a short leash if you want in case someone bails or something
OK. So we have 10 or are we open for 12 if 2 more people show interest?
now it's just finalizing the buy-ins from people.. btw you can look at the "savings" section of my wallet for the prize pool at any time
we're only waiting on 2 people and they've both been in touch and just trying to get their hands on the SBD and should be fine for before draft
So that's what the savings section is for... fantasy football prize pool, haha.
we have 12 actually!! 12 was always the plan but would have settled for 10 if need be.
looks like @bola just signed up and we have all 12 now!
we did it
(note: that's listed in Pacific time.. draft is 6pm EST)
Woohoo! We're all set for kick off.
cool! I think we have exactly one more spot.
(trying to make sense of who has joined among the people who are definitely in)
so if you succeed at enticing him, should work out!!

oh danggg, did I not send you the link yet? lol sending now
Got it. Just curious, how will you pick the draft orders and when will we know?
Good question. It was talked about in the other post, and in this comment tree: https://steemit.com/fantasyfootball/@boatsports90/re-full-measure-fantasy-football-is-one-week-away-20180816t201047795z
Basically, just gonna go with what Yahoo! spits out. I don't want it to look like I cheated if I get a good pick or something haha, so gonna go with Yahoo generated.
We're not sure tho when they do it. It may be when the draft room opens, which is like 45 mins before draft.
But basically, just not gonna touch it and let Yahoo spit it out.
Ok, sounds good. I can't wait.
