Per mith in 2019...we haven't said anything otherwise since then, so this is what we are presumably using.

naw, I'm not going to do that especially given that the "reasoning" why d3 and Panzer are in an uproar didn't actually happen. Hopefully, Panzer just starts his own league so I and the others that just want to play FF can.

I'd like a different commish next season, one who actually feels invested and I could talk to and shit.

There are zero people in L1 that have explicitly said that they want you to continue as commish

your point being? that I should stop running a mish-mash game b/c you and Panzer decided to tell some lie about me changing the promotion/relegation scheme? no thanks. Sorry that I'm not rolling over and letting you bully me.

The fact that I don’t trust you to run a fantasy football league isn’t some massive attack on your character…

Even with this aside I can think of probably 3-4 different things you’ve fucked up this/last season

Phone has been exploding this evening with "Lead change in your matchup!" notifications, in case anyone is watching Bears/Packers and wondering how Khan and I are doing.

I think this definitely breaks my records for most points for and most points against in a matchup.

This is the first game I've broken 120 points in all season, and the first time I've broken 110 since the first game of the season

and somehow that puts me at 7-7 coasting into 7th place barring a big comeback from kmd or peta on monday

what a silly season

Where as I started this season 1-5 and in solo 14th place, and since then have gone 6-1 and having scored 151.74 points this week am likely to go 7-1 down the stretch to hit 8-6 and hit 5th place on Tiebreakers over PLIABILITY because I outscored them by 16 points this week (putting me 4 total points ahead of them in the tiebreak).

I don't really know how I managed to turn it around but I sure fuckin' did.

My goodness 153.54 to 155.52. Game of the year material. Save some points for the rest of us!

Bless.

Only reason I'd consider it is to save the league from your frequent incompetence, but I'd *much* rather it be someone that isn't me. Particularly the someone that wants it.

Hey what the hell happens if Nero relegates down from D1 and wins promotion in D2 since he's playing in both?

My hope is he would relegate and the top four non Nero players would progress upward but...

Yeah I believe that’s what we’ve done in the past, when someone doubles up then promotion/relegation is handled as if their team in the lower league doesn’t exist. Which means y’all need to figure out whether or not the fifth-place consolation game will matter for determining the fourth spot if Nero makes top four…

WRT L1 commissionating next year, I would be willing to do it if needed, but I also recognize my relative social standing here and would not be offended if others would rather someone else do it.
