What We Got So Far:

Addedto1_medium

So Basically....

I need a new fantasy baseball league. How in the world is that relevant to this very delayed thread? Its quite a sad story, actually. Before I launch into that, lets all appreciate the non-vote-bot-tainted poll above. Mr. ryanfea won by 2 whole votes. Impressively close. The new forms will have you submitting your screen name as well to further prevent exploits.

I had to take a few days off to recover from Super Bowl Sunday. Not because I got all drunky and silly, quite the opposite actually. I have a close knit group of friends that all play fantasy baseball with me for the last four seasons. I put the league together, organized every draft, offseason meeting, rules, handled every drama filled call, every trade dispute, every during-draft-fist-fight.... everything. I feel as if its my ship, one that I have painstakingly built, crafted, and shined into what it is today. I also take great pride in preparing for my draft starting in January, spending hours to perfectly sculpt a pre-draft gameplan.

On Sunday there was a mutiny aboard my ship.

For those of you who have played fantasy with friends or co-workers know about that one guy in the league. The one guy who is super spiteful, super malicious, super annoying, or just tries to find every possible way to cheat or gain an advantage. I had someone who was all of the above rolled into one.

Long story short this person basically rallied the troops against me, with the premise of me cheating (I won for the first time last year) to kick me out of the league I created. Not such a big deal, right? Its just fantasy, who cares? Well as I was having a conversation, a rather annoyed one on my part, I was then physically demonstrated how little they cared for my presence in the league, or at that particular Super Bowl party. I was sucker punched and jumped, and as people tried to pull people off me someone dug their thumb so deeply into my right eye that I lost sight in it for a few days.

Needless to say it prevented me from posting at length here for a few days.

So.... if there are any competitive leagues that need a spot filled I would love to join. The more competitive and balanced the better. Fantasy baseball and its drafts are one of the highlights of my year and I wont let a little physical abuse get in my way.

(This was basically me on Monday. I might have had a pirate hat on, not sure. But probably.)

The Billboard....

idea has been passed on the the SB Nation lawyers. The response was basically that if we intend to use "Halos Heaven" or "SB Nation" or its likeness we would have to run it through the legal gauntlet to get it passed. We could take a shot at Texas without mention of this site, but that kind of ruins the fun. This can happen two ways as I see it:

1) We just take the most trolltastic approach and levy a shot against Texas fans with no mention (or maybe a really obscure reference to the site) of who did it. An Anon approach if you will, but the site where it was brainstormed would be left out.

2) We carefully word and picture something that still pokes at the fans of Arlington, yet, do so in a way that passes the legal filters so the HH brand can be slapped on.

For either method I figure using http://www.kickstarter.com would be the best bet. Read up on how the website works so you can be assured your money is going to the right cause at the right time.

This Matchup....

is another youngster VS female poster. The second round along with pitchers and catchers reporting is right around the corner. I am going to Red Bull up and get all of these out so if I end up in a ditch somewhere then they will still come up. Nak's voting docs have definitely nipped the voting thing in the donkey, which makes me feel all warm and tingly inside. Neither participant sent me a detailed case for victory, so they will have to do the talking below. Ladybug's picture made me laugh, it seems as if she also thinks that bones are hilarious and appreciates them significantly. I COULD have photoshopped (ok lets be honest, Paint-ed) something into that picture, but whats the point, its awesome as it is. Monday will be the finale of round 1, then I will post the full schedule of Round 2.

Also, Congrats to eyespy for taking BigTizzle's spot in the final matchup against RallyMonkey5. I know he REALLY REALLY wanted to be in, so, I bet he is fist pumping the night away right now.

Ladybug

Voice of reason. Icon. From what I can tell, genuinely nice person. Gets my vote.

thanks...got you fooled, eh? I mean of course I'm a nice person.
does that count as my vote post?
so do I vote now??

is the check in the mail?

I posted twice and now they are gone...

I tried to vote and it said I have to post!!??!?!?! I feel like I wandered into the twilight zone!!

Refresh.
ahhhh....thx

these new fangled machines are too difficult for poor little old me!!!!

you are good....
That didn't give me the desired results.

I have tried to vote for you twice now and I don’t have a good feeling that it went through either time, and I have refreshed.

'Bug.

She’s my bud. And besides, if I get her pissed off… I’m a dead man.

P.S., you gonna walk with us this year, ’Bug?

I am sure as heck gonna try.
Fist pump, yeah right ...

Man...things have sure changed since

I was last bowling!!! Does that count as 60 points?!?!??!

Looks like my bowling "form"
You had *SHELDON* in your league?
For those of you who have played fantasy with friends or co-workers know about that one guy in the league. The one guy who is super spiteful, super malicious, super annoying, or just tries to find every possible way to cheat or gain an advantage. I had someone who was all of the above rolled into one.
Worse kinda

he accused me of cheating at least twice a year, citing ridiculous things, when he would purposely use exploits whenever he could to win. Eventually he convinced everyone I somehow had to be cheating to win last year, so I came out the badguy, then got jumped by “friends” at a Super Bowl party.

So childish.

How much money was on the line?
We had to stop playing for money

because people were going to kill each other.

Why did you invite Halowood to join your league?
I dont think even Halowood would resort to cheap shotting someone over a damn fantasy league.
Yeah, he'd have a truck driver do it.
halowood is my league

and he is good
except that year he picked WOOD…..wait that was me….

LOL....looks like Sheldon bowling...

be one with the ball!!!

LOL BONES ARE HILARIOUS????

or

LOL BONERS ARE HILARIOUS!!!

not sure if I got it wrong or Phi did!!
Your fantasy league kicked your ass?

It’s a good thing you’re okay now, because it makes me not feel so bad for laughing.

C’mon…what’d you do, bro?

They took exception to the fact that I felt the league was my cyber-baby

and would not give up the reigns.

There was some dissent because I would not allow voting on issues in the season…. after we voted on the same thing a week ago.. and the week before that.

Sure, its a democracy but we cant vote on the same damn thing every two days until the person whining gets their way.

Also, we had the most asinine veto system in place that was ruining the league, I wanted to abolish it and play like big boys, and that was met with lots of hate.

Basically the league started getting really teenage-angsty.

sounds like total high school shenanigans

HA..got that word in a post!

And this was all without any money involved?

I tell ya, man. Trades. Trades fuck up all leagues(I only have experience in fantasy). Leagues without trades have less problems. I like veto systems, but then other people dont….usually people like the dude who almost got Tom Brady for Jahvid Best and Rashad Mendenhall in Week 11 this past year, if it werent for everyone getting pissed and vetoing it.

Our veto system started becoming

“screw the people over we dont like”.

It was ridiculous, protected no one and was archaic at best.

My football league usually takes 4 votes.

Out of 10 or 12 teams. Doesn’t seem like a lot, but you also factor in the fact that theres always 2 or 3 teams that just aren’t paying any attention to whats going on in the league. So far, all stupid trades have been squashed.

Ours took

5 out of 10, but obviously the two people trading voted yes, so 5 of 8.

Whenever a trade went through, no matter what hour, it was my responsibility to text everyone in the league letting them know a trade was up and for whom.

Dude.....

Who the HELL do you hang out with……. your panda gets tossed into a pool, you get jumped by a fantasy baseball league made up of close friends, while at a super bowl party, you are represented by a stuffed panda…… Don’t you ever look in the mirror (albeit with only one eye) and ask “How did I get here?”

Don't forget he kinda got his ass kicked on New Years.
Yes

pretty much right after that. I made me reexamine my circle of friends Ive had since high school.

Kind of sad, really.

WE are your friends. Dump those douchenozzles
However, I propose that we sucker punch Phi in Vegas

Snd try to put out his other eye so he knows he’s loved

Do you thinking kneeing him ~there~ would make him feel REALLY loved?
I can beat up all your friends if you want. At the same time.
I can take pics and sneak in a kick or punch when they are down
Actually...nevermind.

I’d go to jail.

Inviting them to a blanket party

says you doesn’t

Probations a bitch.
Im sorry if that sounded dickish,

You sound like an ok dude,and you live a lifestyle I wish I could…. but yeah…..

Meh

when you get temporarily blinded by people you have been friends with for a decade over retarded bullshit then its time to look in the mirror and move on.

But there is NOTHING wrong with being represented by a stuffed panda.

I agree,

The panda was just because I couldnt think of a last thing lol… but anyways, glad to know you are ok. Sorry about the coup

Ill get over it

I loved that damn league.

Oh well, Ill find another one.

Blimey - I thought these things were meant to be fun
Some people take it way, way too seriously.

And cannot separate discussions or heated debates on the fantasy boards from real life.

Religion ?
Is religion supposed to be fun?
it's hilarious...like boners
I <3 you so much.
gotta go with the bug
your life needs to be a reality show

they can put episodes on after Halo Talk around 11 pm every night after a game on FSW.

I would SO watch that

Hey Phi, remember how you were trying to get me in that fantasy league? And I wasn't sure I wanted to or not?

Well, I think I want to now.

... I hate you.
why? Mayhem can, well, cause mayhem
Just make another one. I'll join it.

So will BigGame48.

I was in a fantasy football with him a couple years…I’ll force him to be in our league. So will 2pintsofbooze, Eyespy, 5th Starter, ItCouldHappen, RexTookMyStash and PTBNL.

Not a bad idea.

Actually, thats a really good idea.

We would need ten people to keep it not ridiculously shallow

anyone interested?

Yep. Anything less than 10 is for dumb dumbs.
CommNate might be down.
What about BevMo bro? Or was he one that went Super Smash Bros. on you?
Aaron is a cool cat

by far one of the nicest people Ive ever met, was one of the good citizens of the league.

I'm in
Fist pump

Email me buddy

Dude, what's your email address?

I made my son email you my bracket crap and he’s radio silent right now

Never mind

He just came in from the cold

I'm in on this!
ItCouldHappen

spends his summers in the sticks of maine with no high speed internet (hence my absence on game posts and what not). I would be willing to give it a shot as I am in no leagues right now, but you might want to find someone better and more reliable to not fall off the league when he gets fed up with shitty internet. However I am honored by the offer

Yeah, anyone is welcome

I dont care if ts a 10/12/14 man league.

If people lose interest then we can whittle it down the next year. Shoot me an email.

mrguyofstuff2@gmail.com

that goes for anyone interested.

I would join a league...

Where we are aloud to jump other members in retribution if they beat me. Sounds awesome ;-p

I think a spot just opened up
BUG

the guy who invented Fantasy baseball has never won

Bug

Casey is so Jersey Shore crazy. But, he’s awesome in his own mind. ;)

Bug!

Hilarious pic!

GOTTA

vote for a GIRL!!!!

GO LORI!!!!!

I want a damn recount.

I’m also boycotting everything.

Na na na na, hey hey hey

Goodbye

It was politically motivated.

I’m obviously a superior contributor.

Bro, why did you not call for aid and ignite the Halo Symbol over the skies of So-Cal?

I have a few drunken rumbles under my belt, and only one lasting scar as a result. Mayhem looks like he could probably handle three dudes at once too (no homo).

Oh, just because I got sucker punched

And jumped from behind doesn’t mean I lost, heh. It just sucked that they got to my eye during the break up.

Good man

What exactly did they do to your eye if you don’t mind my asking? And does it work now?

Finger dug into eye

As people were pulling me of him. it wad the only thing he could reach and a last ditch effort to put some hurtin on me.

It sucked, eye is sore now, but functional luckily.

Karma's a mofo.

Maybe some of those dudes will develop a really virulent case of herpes. Or get jumped by people with herpes and very loose moral standards.

Yeah man

here’s to hope.

bugPosting...

So there has got to be way more to that fantasy baseball league story…?!

There definitely is

But I wasn’t so sure people were interested enough to read about my fantasy baseball falling out details.

Gotta go with the bug
Dude, you need to seriously change who you hang with

I have LOTS of people who think I’m a self-absorbed ass (what can I say…how perceptive), but no one has tried to turn me into Rooster Cogburn.

Oh…and I vote for Bug (I have a tremendous crush on her…on Opie, LB, and Cath619…ménage a cinq anyone?)

what's shakin doggy

I too, voted for da Bug

Hey Dono!

Just hanging in the LOS getting ready for the season and contemplating my impending retirement.

*I* have a crush on Bug, and I've never even met her!

Vegas 2012 or bust.

Bug!!

Definitely!

So, there really was a problem with voting?

Someone has too much time on their hands.

Woo Hoo! I survived! I'm coming for you DOV when we meet in the finals

Also, gotta go with Bug on this one

Sorry, Casey...but it's 'bug.

She’s one of my favorite posters on the game threads.

Dude, you seem like a reasonable and smart guy

Time to start hanging out with similar folk.

Unlike like other people, my league was money-free but this year, for the first time, we’re playing for money. Hopefully no one loses an eye.

Bout that time

Sometimes your best friends are just your oldest ones.

Because you breached your quota?
That's from the Epic F-Bomb game
BUG!!!

(I hope this works. It didn’t work earlier on my phone.)

I love ya Casey

you are one of the balls out best arguers on Halos Heaven.

But I went to high school with Ladybug when she had that big-80s haircut and was only starting to hone that killer wit she dazzles all of us with.

Bug is thicker than water

Is there a way

to make sure it took my vote?

no
I there any way to see the in-progress vote totals?
yes it took your vote

Big Hair in the 80's?

Is she the one that sings “Tin Roof. Rusted”?

And I love you

especially for using the word “arguer” as opposed to debater. Most certainly the more accurate word.

And I know you choose your words carefully.

<3

But you are

The Master Bater

Had sushi today...

Awwww! Those are adorable.
For the rest of my life...

I will always think of Phi whenever I see a panda.

ya

i’ve been tainted

Aww

<3

I probably will too.
I already do. PhiPandaSlamma
Omg... That made my morning with adorableness
......Oh my god

YOU CANNIBAL

But seriously

that is deliciously adorable.

Well, this explains why I was getting hunger pangs last weekend at the San Diego Zoo....
Have you heard about George Carlin's book club routine?

But wait, there’s more! With each purchase we include “How to Fillet a Panda.”

ill vote casey

just because I’m a douchebag.

I'll vote Lady bug

‘cause I’m not a douchebag

Ok Im getting a good amount of feedback for the billboard and especially the fantasy league via email

I will be posting a fanshot about the league and a fanpost about the billboard.

The Fantasy League already has 7 people in it, I say to a max of 14. So email me and reserve a spot while you can.

<3

how much time is involved in a fantasy league?
For football not much

for baseball quite a bit if you want to. You can also take the lazy way and try and draft well enough to not worry about pick ups later. Honestly its all luck when it comes down to it.

I spend about an hour a day at least looking at stats and trends

sometimes more sometimes less. I spend about a good 40 hours preparing for the draft, but thats me. I actually enjoy it, it brings me back to my Madden days when I would sit down with a buddy and draft a team from scratch. So, yeah, Im weird but I know people who do perfectly fine just going with their gut.

Bug

She’s like our online Mom…
COD is that dude you pass on the freeway that is going the speed limit….. even though the flow of traffic is going faster.
….and then he flips you the finger when you pass him

No, that would be me flipping the finger.

But only when I’m already speeding and someone is not satisfied with me doing 75 in a 60 zone, and I only flip off the idiots mentally.

WHAT THE!!!???!!! This contest is fixed

I was looking at the bracket and lookie there, I’ll be the …

Way to set me up, Panda Boy

Thumb up in from eye

have a good birthday????
meh

Got shafted by the young one, and had to wake up the oldest one, to go and get something to eat. Not a fancy enough number for them to remember this time.

Thank you for rememberin’

Thumb up in from eye

I see what what you did there. nice
Happy belated birthday !

OT

just watched the movie Warrior and holy shit was that a damn good movie. rec’d

that movie bored the beejezus outta me.

good performance by note though.

you don't like watching a shit ton of MMA fights?

Tom Hardy was a beast in that movie, made me actually excited for the new Batman movie since he is Bane.

The fights were good.

I just felt the plot was way to plodding.

Provolone.
Now that we know where you stand on the volone question, what about the all-important pasto question?

Are you pro, or anti-pasto?

Pro-pasto

Its the only sound decision.

I'm very anti-pasto....extra peperoncinis please
Voted for ladybug.

One of the only people on HH that I know personally. Hopefully we get a HH meet-and-greet game this year so I can say the same about more of you fine people..

pantherbug
Ladybug, hands down.

The Panther shirt puts her over the top :)

Bug.

I want to take her to the Halos Heaven Prom.

Paging Rally Mom!! Paging Rally Mom!!!
This is looking like an old-fashioned shoeing, so far

It shouldn’t take you all year!

You just *HAD* to go and say that, didn't you.
Bug...

Voted for my girl-crush Ladybug, of course.

But how do I know my vote stuck? I have no visual confirmation.
