New Year's Resolutions

you insinuated I dislike every proposal for no reason - I told you my reason and said screw off

I asked if you unliked every proposal cause earlier in the thread you made the joke about not liking the other proposal... then you didn't like this proposal.

And you told me to screw off while quoting a post that had nothing to do with that "unlike" post... like 20 posts later. So I highly doubt it was in reference to that.
 
Wait... I just thought of something. Does Blueman think that we're suggesting that we take a team's final roster at the end of the season and figure out their average fppg and use that as their place in the standings? So theoretically a team could finish in first if they have a huge lead at the deadline then trade away all their best players and have a crap lineup at the end and they'd be in the lottery?

Otherwise I just don't see why trades and drops are even part of the conversation. Last year Axl had 1227.534 in 1473 games. That was .83 points per game. How he got there is pretty irrelevant. He made trades, adds, drops and he had injuries I'm sure.

If he didn't reach the minimum games then we'd have to top him up. We just need to decide if we'd use his average of .83... or figure out the league average... or maybe the 10th place team's average? Or come up with an arbitrary average like .55?

Meh, you being cranky just shows me that I'm close to the target.

For the record, I'm okay with removing PIM's, and like the idea of SOG's as well.

I'd also be up for Wins as a counting stat, but I think we've already decided not to do this previously.
 
You quoted a post that had nothing to do with the post you cited as the reason for telling me to screw off.

This is where it started:


fp/g average will be skewed by add/drops, trades during the season no?

And I replied politely to that in an attempt to help you through whatever issues you had with the rule and you told me to screw off. Not that it matters, if you wanna be a dick then be a dick. I do it sometimes too.

More importantly we should try to figure out this "top up" rule.

I don't understand what you dislike about it. You say adds/drops, trades ect will skew fppg which is obviously correct. But I don't understand how that's relevant. I could be missing something though.

The only 2 arguments I see against using FPG is that is might "unfairly" punish a club with a lot of injuries, and that's why they sunk in the standings, and that raw FPG doesn't take the goalie game thing into account (which I've already suggested a patch for)

I like either finding out the league average or the teams average. I suppose it depends on what that average is. I'd guess it'll come to something like .70, which equals out to an average player, so I'd be okay with that.
 
Still need to get some of these issues resolved. Let me know if I am forgetting anything.

Top-Up Rule: Decided.

League Constitution: I have access to the league constitution for another dynasty league. Over the next couple of weeks (ie. when I have some time) I will take a long look at it and work on one for our league. Will need some help when we get to that point.

The Draft: We'll get the ball rolling shortly after the NHL Draft. Still need an official start date. We also need to figure out the lottery odds, and how the lotto will be handled. Still need suggestions here.

JCY's 1st Round Pick: Very few options have been suggested. The pick was traded with "lottery protection", which at the time was Bottom 5, and is now Bottom 8. I think the best and really only viable option is one that was suggested previously. The pick will initially receive full lottery protection. If JCY's team finishes in the bottom 8, the pick has a shot at the lottery for him. If it wins, it wins. However, if it does not win, the pick will remain JCY's if it is a Top 5 pick. If it finishes from 6-8, it would be available for Soco to swap. Hopefully this solution covers all the bases, let me know if it does not.

Anything I'm forgetting?

Jays...discussion was here and in a separate thread titled for your pick that I think mindz started. Tried sending you a few private messages to buzz in at the time without responce.
 
Yeah, I wasn't posting on here for a few months... still really only checking in periodically. The original intention was for top eight protection to apply, or whatever the agreed upon total was. I seem to recall something about us discussing whether or not to include 1/3 of the league's teams in the lottery too.
 
To the top - jays, what I was referring to. Read s couple points above about ur first round pick.
 
Axl made his decision, take it up with him. Based on his decision I'm using my option to switch picks
