Ways to increase activity
Generally speaking, I think inactive teams tend to be bad teams, or teams sort of stuck in a rut. I don't think it's at all surprising, but I wonder if we could make small changes to help improve the situation. For example, say your a bad team

I wrote some code to do it actually. It was somewhat tricky, I wasn't trying for anything complicated, just a semi-smart brute force approach and it worked but was more complicated than I expected. But I can certainly provide that to Andrew or any...

Tanking: Issues and Possible Solutions
I'm just creating an alternative venue for discussion than the site chat as it seems to me to be a discussion more suited for the forum due to likely lengthy posts and the availability to re-read later on.

Yeah, but buyer beware - I'd be careful about bidding on someone else's behalf lest I get stuck with someone I didn't want. Also, with the new FA structure, every day that someone bids for someone else is a day their cap space is tied up for someo...

3 Year Correlation: Inaugural Draft & Wins
This "research" was spurred by two factors: (1) a comment made in the XOT League that it seemed like the best teams were (still) the teams who drafted high in the inaugural draft, and (2) an extension of my proposal to have a

Yes, it's impossible for the inaugural draft to be perfectly fair. But that doesn't mean we should completely abandon any effort to limit unfairness. This isn't a debate between fair or unfair. It's between slightly unfair and really unfair. I...

As the sim develops and goes public, I imagine there is a large portion of the general population who might not be interested in the long-term commitment of a theoretically never ending fantasy basketball game. Now, aside from the obvious of

I'd love to play in "vintage" XO leagues. Being able to assemble teams of the players I grew up admiring would be a blast. Oh, and Rick Brunson would be all mine.

In response to Bill's post, I don't think the QO system will have any place in the new FA, but I would argue that it is one of the problems with the system. It induces people to pay over a certain amount for mid level/low level FA in order to ste...

Scaling 2nd Round Contracts
(Note: I had posted this before as part of a larger post, but it was overlooked as the rest of the post sparked discussions. I'd like to hear people's opinions while the draft is fresh in their mind — or still going on.) One question

Dev to Rights - A pitch for reworking the dev-slot mechanism
Hey, so I’ve been thinking about this whole dev slot thing a lot lately (because I have a pile of upcoming draft picks and Nick Calathes in my 1st-round spot /fulldisclosure), and I just wanted to put out my current issues with it. 1.The dev
