Autodraft means I could care less. Grats but not really because people like me got screwed before it even started.

That is complete bull. I spent time pre-ranking 200 players so it wasn't luck.

Yeah, you're right, Mapu, I should go pre-rank all my players because that controls who I draft. On the other hand, I could ACTUALLY DRAFT THEM.
Mapu (362 D)

That would be some feat to organize 12 people from this site to be at a live draft for 3 hours.

Also, in another super competitive league I'm in they had a live draft on Yahoo. Exact same website. I was unable to make it (everyone else was there) so I used my pre-rankings there too and had autopick pick for me. I was 9-4 in that one.

I would say draft day is definitely 60-70% of it but you can certainly make up the difference on the waiver wire.

So quit making excuses if you sucked.

Also there were plenty of players you could of grabbed that weren't drafted. James Jones on my team for example.. didn't get him till week 3-4.

What's the point of fantasy football if you can't draft the team you want?

I'd be pissed too if somebody flipped a coin and then told me I sucked :P

It doesn't have to be a live draft, only a draft. It's very easy to do a non-live draft. That's what I usually do.

And considering that I've gotten C.J. Spiller, Danny Amendola, Justin Tucker, Colin Kaepernick, among others off of free agency and trades, I don't think that's a reasonable thing. I've made double the moves anyone else has in the league I'm pretty sure and it's gotten me to 4-8. That shows that the draft is something I couldn't recover from. Some people got Adrian Peterson and Peyton Manning; I got Matt Forte. I got injured players. I got the worst team I've ever had. I am proud to manage 4-8; I should be 0-12.

Top 10 Cities and Locales in the Anglosphere?
Just thought I'd throw this one out there...
Taking the four most obvious nations (the US, UK, Canada and Australia) and anywhere else you see fitting in the primarily-English speaking world (not "primarily," as of course there are many Spanish speakers in the US and many French Canadians, but the nations' overall aggregate majority is titled towards an English language/culture, I think)...best cities and locations?

Get rid of the option to block messages. The game is called DIPLOMACY. You need to be able to create alliances with other players. That's why there is a diplomacy phase!

The natural outcome of a dip game is a draw
It's either a 3-way draw, or possibly 4-way, depending on the alliances. If a solo occurs, than it's because one of the players made a mistake.
