I’ll just be keeping Drake Maye in R12. Akers looks like he’s going to be on the roster bubble. ---

Pretty sure we went to straight up reverse finishing order and dropped the “consolation bowl winner gets top pick” rule, so draft order would be: Hermits Scotty ShadowFax Frosty’s Post Mahomes Omnipotents Spiritus Mundane Baltimore Weirdos Carcosa Yellow Kings Chicago Cardinals Moridwon (Hamlet) Big Mack Attack Fourth & Nineteen Disgruntled Goats Nine Inch Neils Exploding Pancakes ---

As far as I’m aware, we do still have the rule where the consolation round winner gets the #1 pick… ---

Oops. In that case, picks 1-4 are Chicago Cardinals, Carcosa Yellow Kings, Baltimore Weirdos and Spiritus Mundi. Hermits becomes picks 5 and so on down to Omni at 8. ---

So I’ve had no luck getting a response from the offline owner or from @The_Mad_Hermit. I can try to raise interest in the other two fantasy threads, I guess? I would strongly prefer not to go down to 12 owners… ---

I would try posting an invitation to the other fantasy threads as well as the [pick em](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-nfl-pick-em-and-survival-leagues-2025) thread. Give a little sales pitch on the league. If you can’t get 2 SDMBers in the first pass, open it up to off-board friends who may be interested in playing. As someone who has run various leagues over the years, the SDMB is pretty tapped out in fantasy interest and the board size has been declining, so it’s getting tougher and tougher, though I think we can probably pull 2 people out of somewhere. I could make the recruitment post in the other threads if you’d like. ---

Sorry, hadn’t really done much about it. I just reached out to Dave again asking for him to get his offline friend on line. I can’t get any response from @The_Mad_Hermit. I’ll post in some of the other threads in a bit. Will get a full of keepers out in the next hour or two, as well as setting the draft order. ---

So we’re down to one missing owner. No response from Hermits, and no response to my posts asking for interest. Anyone got a friend who’s available tonight who might be interested? I’m checking with my nephew to see if he’s available. Or I can open it up on Yahoo… ---

Looks like we’ve got a replacement for Hermits (my nephew). He’s younger than this league, if you want to really feel old. ---

Just a reminder, an owner should have the choice of keepers from whatever team he’s replacing.
