Title: Fantasy Football!
Post by: Menemas on July 28, 2009, 10:35:53 AM
Would anyone be interested?

We want to get started pretty soon so we can do an offline draft by post.  It'll probably take a fairly long time, so we need to get moving. 

I need at least 6 people.

I'm in for this sure!

The whole "football team MMO simulation" thing was just too much work over time, but this would be fun!

I signed up for it some time ago because I think Kagemaru threatened to never write again and/or stab me, but I don't know what to do!

You'll have to explain to me how it goes...

Oh!  And I don't know anything about football...

Oh!  And I won't play if Flann doesn't play....

Oh!  And, I like lychees...

I did no such thing.

You did too!  And you said you'd walk me through it, and I'm still waiting for that walk-through.   :(

No one will believe you!

I'm too busy ignoring poor Rafe and being the terrible scourge of Norrath to walk you though, anyway :(

Also, Meanie is referring to a much easier fake football, that takes much less overall work.

The league exists and I've sent invites to those who said they were interested.  I'd like to find 3 more people to play, but we'll go with whomever we have.

If you've never played, no worries!  Its just for fun.  Give it a shot with us!

Who is who??

I've resurrected Smurfette's SmurfBall Boys from a few years ago.  And in true smurfette fashion, picked the hottest guy.

I may not have the winning team, but I'll have the most commercial endorsements!!

Yes! and someone tell The Beard to pick!  I don't want to have to make autopicks, but damnit I will.

Remember to keep checking in! Especially those of you at the bookends of the draft....1, 2, 7, and 8.  I'm going to start smacking if pick #9 and 10 don't go FAST

Its that time again!

We had a fierce season last year with some surprises.

I've reactivated the league, and its tiem to start thinking about the draft.  We have room for more if anyone wants to get in on the action.

Returning players, check out the league page, there are some questions there.

Post here or PM me with an email if you want to join us!

i vote in favor of ending the season oh two or three weeks earlier. that way my dominating regular season run doesn't get bounced in the playoffs in the semis. or whenever it was. i do recall i lost  :viking2:
Title: Re: Fantasy Football!
Post by: Corsair on June 17, 2010, 09:40:31 AM
It's true, one pain in the tookus is when you have a great team, ane a couple of your star players play at best a half of the final game of teh season when their teams are locked in playoff position...and you lose because of it.

I am not proposing this, but if others want to....I think the season could be changed so that the weeks 1-14 are regular season, week 15 is playoff round one, and week 16 is the championship. Week 17 we wouldn't play, in order to avoid goofy stuff. Not saying that is what we should do, but something along that line might be possible.
Title: Re: Fantasy Football!
Post by: tanare on June 17, 2010, 12:59:24 PM
my money league does it that way. week 17 doesn;t really happen. everything's done by week 16- though there are still occasions where one or two teams clinch early and sit players but 99% of them will play a good chunk of week 16 anyway. at worst they'll get taken out early if the team is way ahead or behind but for the most part they'll play the whole game because coaches don;t wnat them rusty for the playoffs (exspeically if they have a bye week)

week 17 you can have 6-10 teams resting guys due to playoff seeds getting locked up.

not really a big deal in this league though, it just for fun anyway so no real need to change it if people don;t want to.

Right...so as I currently count we have:  Myself, Kage, Dexter, Tanare, and Corsair that I know are paying attention.  We're missing Elloise and Nina, and we need a replacement for Jodas.  Two more wouldn't hurt either.  If we don't get a response from anyone REAL soon, we'll have to scrap this year.
