I had the same issue... If you log out and back in it should reflect the friends option.

I'm in too. I'll cut some deadweight and can get below 50.

Great, I added you to the list. Thanks for the idea to have a league at both levels! I have updated the original post to separate the levels and add the point that people at both levels are needed.

I am surprised, but VERY happy! Welcome and I have added you to the list.

Outstanding! We can talk about our mutual friend #23.

Zorro · 01-26-2019, 10:32 AM

Everyone, Please remember to enter everyone on Orcin list as your friend. Please do that or this will not work. 😁

Orcin · 01-26-2019, 10:37 AM

I think I have everyone added now. When you check your friends list, you should show 21 names.

This is a good time to mention that you might want to be sure that you ONLY have the people listed in this group - at least until we get the league established. If you have other friends that don't want to play with a cap, they could be put in the league instead of people that do want in.

Hopefully at some point he'll be making his triumphant return from the reserve roster.

Thank for doing this too, this is going to be fun.

Quick question...maybe one of the Devs or OOTP experts can chime in.
Is the friends list kept locally as a file as well?

So instead of 30 people trying to add all friends individually, a master keeper could make the list and share a text file to be saved by everyone else.

joehart · 01-26-2019, 10:49 AM

Please add LiamF - Renton Warriors to the Diamond team list.

Zorro · 01-26-2019, 10:53 AM

We are heading into a problem. I had to delete a couple of friends who were not on the list because there is a limit for friends. My worry is we will not have enough to add 30 for the perfect league if we add diamond league friends.

Orcin · 01-26-2019, 10:55 AM

Here's a post from another thread that helps explain the point system and why I chose a high value for perfects that are, in many cases, no better than diamonds.

You have perfect Randy in your rotation (sells for ~90K) and I have 97 Randy (sells for ~30K). Why do you have perfect Randy? Because he is better. Is he 3 times better? Probably not. But he is better and you are looking for every edge to win. Perfect Randy costs an extra $50 U.S. cash, so perfect cards have to count for significantly more than diamonds in order to keep people from adding a bunch of expensive incremental upgrades and driving out the budget-conscious player. That's also why silvers are free under the cap, to encourage people to choose more of them and add variety. There is also a gloomy feeling when you look at an opponent's roster and see all those 100's. We want to avoid that.

Obviously, not all diamonds are created equal, but it has been proven that the best players don't always win. My gold Cleon Jones kills your team, while I have a knack for getting your Ruth to go 0-5.

I will try to check this, thanks.

My point exactly on all cards. 😁

Note to self, make sure Cleon Jones is on the active roster and playing vs. Zorro.

I knew I would hate this league.😡

joehart · 01-26-2019, 11:27 AM

I suspect the top teams that make the playoffs here will feature players that other teams simply can't afford.

Not every team will be able to afford 86Keuchel, 97 Cobb, 100 Pedro Martinez. I suspect the ones that can will be able to do a lot better in this league as well.

In other words, a 500K PP wallet will likely get to the sweet spot a lot faster. Just like the top whales that found out that using 100 cards is not the sweet spot against other whales.

If only the Active roster would show the median sale price as a column with a total at the bottom. Would be great to compare based on that field as well.

We will see. But at least no team in this league will have 22 perfects.
