Your advice is that I should have joined in the dispersal draft, in the 3rd year of trying to build my team? I don't want to control the outcome and again, I'm not calling it collusion. Hardly anyone in this league knows each other (one of the worst parts of the league, besides the platform itself) - I know it's not collusion. I don't want to delay the draft, just pointing out that the Tutu pick was dumb as fuck (is he a WR3 or 4?) and now the rest of the division gets screwed. Mike, did you know you could select the draft picks before No mercy took 1.03 & 1.04? Hats off to NM, team is stacked

x2.
Every dispersal I've ran has had me scratching my head at some of the picks made. EVERY SINGLE ONE! Sometimes people value players differently, sometimes they make simply make a mistake and miss a player/pick that's available. Like any draft, that is how it goes.
The goal in these dispersals is to give new owners a chance to put their own touch on a roster. I don't disagree that one team seems to have had a favorable draft, but I don't think there is evidence of collusion. I also don't have an idea as how to prevent something like this and whether it even should be something we should try to prevent. My only advice would be for returning owners to jump into a dispersal if they want to get into the mix and control (to an extent) the outcomes. My other advice would be to orphan 2 owner Mike, people don't seem to approve of some of your selections. That's fantasy and that's sports, don't take it personal. However, keep your head on a swivel because I suspect when sharks smell blood in the water they circle. You're about to get some shitty trade offers your way my friend!

Nice to meet you as well. It's your turn to pick in the draft.
Hi all, Orphan2 here, my name is Mike. Nice to meet everyone! Adam Thielen is about to have his best year yet…just wait 🫠
You're sure Orphan 2 thinks he won the draft? He did corner the market on QB2s and trash WRs, so I can see your point.
No one mentioned anything about collusion. Guilty conscience, amigo? I wasn't saying you did anything wrong, just that Orphan 2 must have put his draft board in order while blacked out drunk watching Rams super bowl 2022 highlights
When I was invited to the league, I had access to, read, and agreed to all of the rules. I'm sure Orphan2 did as well as everyone else in this league when they joined. The dispersal draft was executed as defined in the rules. There was no collusion, I don't even know who Orphan2 is. Obviously, I think I won the draft, and I'm sure Orphan2 thinks he did. Fantasy football is opinion based, not fact. I could make the same argument looking at existing teams in the league... some are much better than others (again only my opinion), is that fair to me or Orphan2?
The bottom line is the rules were followed as agreed to. If there are issues with the process, they should be discussed and changed for future years.

Because it seems like one of those teams went from middle of the pack to a league favorite (armed with picks 3&4 on top of it) and the other looks like an instant 2025 1st pick frontrunner after some of the most perplexing choices I've seen in dynasty (no offense, Orphan 2). Tutu Atwell and Elijah Moore?!? Was he made aware this is a dynasty league where qbs are important?
The dispersal draft occurs anytime more than 1 team from a conference leaves the league. I do not know the level of knowledge the Orphan #1 team has with dynasty, but he did say he plays fantasy football. I cannot control the outcome of the dispersal draft. But if the conference would like a vote before Saturday, we can consider actions to prevent unbalanced teams. All teams not involved in the dispersal votes will be counted. I will be asking the old commish for guidance on this situation as well.

Would you please add Michael Wilson and Mike Williams to my team and move Mostert to Orphan2?

Thank you!
Any trades involving draft picks and players from an orphaned team will be reversed. I see that at least one offer is on the table currently, and I cannot remove it. But I can reverse it.
