I don't know why the hell i'm waiting on Riggo to name his team, he was at the bottom of his division and we said we'd honor that this year. So Pho, pick a city/mascot name for Riggo's team. Make it degrading. And do the same for Conn and Matt, they deserve to serve out their sentence.
Okay, here's the revised ad sent to drop for approval:
Going into its 6th season, the ES Dynasty League is looking for one new owner. We're trying to fill the spot now with a great owner, so that you have a couple of months to get acquainted with the league scoring, roster rules, bylaws, the leagues other owners, trade values, etc. before the NFL draft.
We're looking for a dedicated owner who can't get enough of the NFL, fantasy football, and specifically dynasty fantasy football. An owner who wants to take their roster and turn it into a dominant championship contender.
We're looking for someone who is active on ES, so we know you'll be around, be active, and be a big part of our discussions over in the Fantasy Football Forum.
This is NOT your average fantasy league. A very high level of activity is required and expected year-round. Previous dynasty experience is something we'd like to see, but its not required if you're an experienced redraft/keeper league owner who knows his **** and is enthusiastic about learning the ropes. Being a college football fan, or at least an NFL fan who loves to follow the draft, is also a major plus, because evaluating and drafting/trading for talent is a huge part of success in a dynasty league. If you're the type to log into your ESPN league a few times a week to make waiver wire claims and set your lineup, this league isn't for you.
Here are the most important details:
The league is hosted on MFL (myfantasyleague.com) and is a NOT a free league. There is a $30.00 buy-in, and like most legit dynasty leagues we will be using the very legitimate Leaguesafe to hold and dispense league dues/winnings.
We expect owners to be insanely competitive and active, improving their roster in any way possible and starting the best lineup possible every single week. Not logging in for days, or starting an incomplete lineup, etc. is not acceptable.
It is standard PPR scoring with 6 pts for all TD's, return yardage and lighter IDP scoring (For reference, the best IDP ranked #59 overall in our scoring system, and that was only because JJ Watt was a freak--the next highest scoring defensive player was #158 overall).
We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 2 DB, 2 LB, 1 DL.
In-season rosters are 30 slots for active players. We also have 5 spots for a Practice Squad, and 3 spots for an Injured Reserve. Off-season rosters expand to 40 slots for active players, and we have multiple cut-down dates leading up to the regular season. We hold our Rookie Draft in April/May, right after the NFL draft.
For those applying who have mostly redraft experience, be aware that there is much more trading involved in a dynasty league. You will have to become comfortable with judging player values and making trades, risky or not, its up to you. But for whoever we choose, I recommend going back through past trades that have happened to get an idea of the relative values of young players, veteran players, draft picks, future draft picks, etc. You can mold your roster as you wish through the draft, FA, waiver wire, and most importantly, through trades. I can't stress enough how much trade action there is in this league. Be prepared for lots of PM's. Keep your inbox cleared out.
This is a very competitive league. We are all friendly, but we also are big fans of trash talk, ragging on each other, etc. So if that isn't your style, this probably isn't the league for you. We're looking for someone who is not only going to be the best dynasty owner we can find to fill this spot, but who is also going to be enthusiastic about the league, fit in well, and bring another fun personality to the league's ongoing thread that I already linked to.
If you think you're interested, post in this thread, addressing the following things:
1. Your previous fantasy football experience, as well as dynasty if you have owned a dynasty team before.
2. Your ability to be very active in the league, from waivers, to trades, to the league thread, etc.
3. What you could bring to our league, in your opinion. Why should we choose you?
4. Anything else that you think is relevant, go ahead and include it. It can only help us make our decision, and this is the part of the process where we'll probably see the most who will fit in best, and try the hardest.
Reply in this thread or send me a PM. We're looking for someone capable of being very active, both in terms of team management, and the social aspect here on ES and on MFL. Please keep that in mind when applying. We aren't going to make our decision based upon post count--the most important thing is still to fill these spots with capable, intelligent fantasy owners. But those of you who are well-known around ES will probably have a slight leg up, as we can count on your participation and presence.
Thanks to all who are interested in joining Extremeskins' very own dynasty league. If you post here or PM me, you'll hear back very soon, as we will vote in the newest member as soon as there's a general consensus.
looks good to me. i advised Conn to go ahead and post the roster this time around since we're a pay league now. plus we're only replacing one owner so posting the roster makes sense.
good deal... conn let us know when u post it
Looks good Conn. Post the link when you post it.
Aren't the positions off? That says 1 RB/WR/TE but I'd swear we have more than one of those, and they're limited like WR/TE, RB/TE, etc.
Pho is right, good catch.
It should be 1QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 RB/TE, 1 TE, 1 WR/TE, 1 K, 2 DB, 2 DL, 2 LB
You may want to note that we set the lineup requirements this way for added flexibility and to maximize positional value.
Sorry dude. My project got axed by the government so I've been busy arranging new work for me and my homies. I'll take care of it tonight, unless Pho beats me to it.Quote:

hahaha, i love it.
Name em Pho...you'll do it far better justice than I could.
Question:
What do we need to do to sign in to Leaguesafe? How do we register for it and get everyone in the league together?
The commissioner just creates a league on Leaguesafe and then invites all of us via email. Obviously everyone will need to create a login on Leaguesafe but that's pretty much all.Quote:

Some off-season trade action, I like it. Anyone have guys on the block right now? I'm always open to talk trades.
