That's true for me too, I just remembered I'm leaving for a week on Friday. Someone stupid wedding that I know nothing about, hooray.

[Matthew]

btw- eventually i'll need your email/MSN so i can have a bigger buddy list but ignore you. but seriously...for league information, trade talks, etc

AirGordon, its whichbank@gmail.com but I will block you immediately and only unblock you for trade talk. Understood?

[air gordon]

Count me in, I play every year anyway in public leagues, might be fun to try something new.

After tomorrow, I'm on vacation for a week so if you guys want to start up the league and draft before then just count me out.

That's true for me too, I just remembered I'm leaving for a week on Friday. Someone stupid wedding that I know nothing about, hooray.

sorry guys, but the draft will be an automated one due to everyone being from all over the world. it would be too difficult to find a good time for everyone.

AirGordon, its whichbank@gmail.com but I will block you immediately and only unblock you for trade talk. Understood? Crazy

guess we're both in the shits cuz i plan to block you too

[BOSS]

Count me in bro.

Nevermind about being away for a week, I'm coming home late Monday. Still too late? (I don't get what you mean by automated, unless you mean the teams will be picked randomly?)

Nevermind about being away for a week, I'm coming home late Monday. Still too late? (I don't get what you mean by automated, unless you mean the teams will be picked randomly?)

the only thing that is randomn is the draft order, which the site determines, not the commish

once the draft order is determined, the site automatically picks the highest ranked players according to everyone's draft rankings list.

IE:
the first 4 guys on my draft list are-
1. priest holmes
2. l tomlinson
3. t owens
4. payton manning

say my team is picking 2nd. when it comes to my team's turn to pick, it will select priest holmes, if he's still available. if he's not, the site moves on to the next highest ranked person on my list, in this case L tomlinson. and so forth if he's already taken

you have the option of using yahoo's default rankings or you can edit it however you want.

btw- the draft is done in "snake" style, meaning the order goes:
1st round: 1-10
2nd round: 10-1
3rd round: 1-10
etc

the sooner we find out how many are going to join, the sooner i can set up the site/have you guys check it out and edit your draft rankings

we have a nice round number now but i'll give another week for any stragglers to join....

I'd like to play if there is still room.

[FendeR`]

Is Dweaver coming back? I think his ban ended today and he hasn't posted. But maybe it's because he's asleep since I'm we're in different time zones.

[Drex]

Or he's planning something

[Jackal]

No, his ban has been extended by two days. He returns on Wednesday. Tomorrow, according to my time.

[air gordon]

we'll have 12 teams most likely...

how many teams do you want in the playoffs? 4,6,8
6 makes sense since but we can change that

do you want a trade deadline?

and do you want to toggle any of the scoring point systems, add more starting positions, or add other categories (i.e fumbles, completions, pass attempts, etc. imo we really don't need those as there enough categories as is but i may as well as anyway.. same with the starting positions)

so far i only have matthew, indy, and fender's email/msn info. i'll need the rest of you guys email/msn to send out league info/discuss trades/etc. just post it here or if you don't want your email/msn made public, just PM it

thanks

[iG®]

lpasso24@yahoo.com is my MSN ID. We can talk about settings there.

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Or he's planning something

No, my taking over the forum plans are postponed...

Anyway,I'm still in but it will be the first time I participate in a fantasy league, so you'll hev eto bear with me on occasion.

peoblem is, I don't have MSN. You'll have to contact me via PM.

[Jackal_]

gordon that looks good man..


p.s. change my name back to Legend from Legend in Love.. I think everyone already knows I'm sleeping with Cy's mom.

thanks

[air gordon]

legend.. you can choose whatever name you want on the site...

we're short 1 guy so maybe we'll have to do some cheap advertising or just kick out somebody

either way, we'll have to wait

if anyone has anything to say about the league setting, it would be appreciated

[KD]

if you guys are short a guy, I can play.

[air gordon]

k thats makes 12


EDIT: on 2nd thought.. i'll just post the league ID and pw so i don't have to chase the rest of you down

6 of you slackers haven't signed up yet

[The Other Kevin]

This slacker kept hitting the wrong game.

[air gordon]

just fyi: you'll need a yahoo ID to enter

that's a direct link

i think these have to sign up still. let's go slackers!

[#12]

is it to late to join?

[air gordon]

if no one else registers their team, #12 could join, and that would give 10 GM, good enough to start. though i would have to delete the current league and create one for 10 teams

this is pretty disappointing. i'm excited to run this league/play fantasy fball but i'm not going to chase people to down people just to register their teams...

[#12]

pm me the word if i can join

[air gordon]

who hasn't signed up yet?

i can't tell who hasn't done so yet so could you guys say your team name and nlsc sN?

less then a week until the season starts so let's get everything squared away
