I'd like to join, but I've never done a fantasy league before and I don't know enough about all the players to draft well or manage anything well :/

Last year was my first year and I ended up winning. Generally Yahoo provides pretty good rankings. Hockey is easier to draft than football because the positions are simpler. Well, maybe I just know them better.

I have never done a fantasy league either. Thats why I want to try it. I wouldn't know much about the drafting etc either. I know hockey and a lot of players, but I am more or less a noob there. It is something that is pretty interesting to me though.

There is now about a week or so until the draft. There is still room for a few players.

I preset my custom draft order in case I can't make it. Although, really, it didn't end up being that different from Yahoo's order.

Are we going to close the league to non neowin players by cutting down the slots, or just let em in?

I already cut it down from 12 to 10 (meaning that instead of 4 non-Neowinians, there will be only 2).

If nobody wants to join before the draft then I'll cut it down to 8 and lock everyone else out.

So unless I forget to check/update in two hours, we should have no more than 1 non-Neowinian.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
