So I'm pretty sure we agreed to go to 12 players this year. I think maybe we should give first dibs to the folks that played last year, then we can add additional folks after that.... unless you guys think that's unfair.  
:)

I'll get in touch with Dylan.

So can we use the league that we established last year, or so do we have to set it up again? I can't remember who set it up last year.

One last thing... I thought starting a new thread for this year would be easier than using the one from last year in terms of looking back for info.

So what do y'all think about all of this? We're a little over a month away. Woot!

[EAZYE]

count me in again for sure  ;D

[Killgies]

If you guys have room I would like in.

[corey]

From last year:
Corey
EazyE
Dylan (aMD)
bowl of soup
true
jonT
walter
Bama37
K

dibs for additional players:
capt. headdy
killgies
crispy


Also, I think we should name our teams after our screen names on the forum this year. It got pretty confusing last year. :)

I'm in again and I agree about the screen names thing.  We should start trying to nail down a draft date.  Some of us degenerates play in multiple leagues and need to schedule these things.

I vote for a weekday aftrenoon as most of us come here to avoid work.

[ManNamedTruth]

i already said i was in in the last thread. 2 other people that didn't play last year said they wanted to play, whoever they were should have dibs.

[corey]

Gotcha. I'll go check that other thread and see who the other newbies were. I'm pretty sure killgies was one of them.

EDIT: My post above has everyone that spoke up in the other thread. Capt Headdy spoke up before killgies, so I put him 1st on the dibs list, but I guess technically they'll both get in anyway since we're doing 12 players. So anyone after them gets dibs if there's someone (or multiple people) from last year that don't play again this year.

[Crispy]

Thanks y'all, I'm in if there's room.

[Jon T.]

Count me in!

[corey]

You're accounted for already. :) I went back and found it in the other thread.

So it looks like we have 7 people from last year so far. Who else was there?
Chris (bama 37)
K
knotcameloose

I'll call Chris tonight or tomorrow and see if he's in.
knotcameloose hasn't been on the board since March. I'll try to email him and see what's up.

[corey]

UPDATE:
I talked to Chris. He's in. That leaves K and Knotcomesloose.

KCL hasn't posted on the board since March. I sent him a PM, but I doubt he'll get it since he hasn't been around. I tried to go to the blog linked in his profile to contact him, but the blog doesn't exist anymore and there's not an email address option in his profile.

K was on the board a little while ago. I also sent him a PM. I assume he'll be in, but he needs to let us know for sure.

So unless Knotcomesloose appears in the next week or so, it looks like we'll have one extra spot.

As far as the draft goes, the middle of the week usually works well for me also.

I'm in guys.  This year I'll remember to make substitutions a bit more frequently.   ;)

[corey]

Awesome... but I won't be reminding you about your substitutions. You might kick all of our asses this year if you actually get around to changing your team out each week.   :)

Who set the league up last year? I think we should set it up the same way it was done last year... all of the same rules and such.

I think it was Walt.

[corey]

Does anyone have Walt's email address? I sent him a PM about setting up the league, but he hasn't been on the board in a few weeks.

Ok. I think we're good to go. I went ahead and set it up. I had the page bookmarked from last year and it gave me the option to look at last year's settings, so everything is the same except there will be 12 players this time.

Here is the login info. Let me know if you have any trouble getting in.

login: 2008 - The Fans of MMJ
password : Evilurges   (Dylan told me that the E has to be capital)
league ID #: 305720

Please create your team using the screen name that you use on this board. I think it will make life much easier.
It doesn't look like knotcameloose is gonna show up, so we'll have room for 3 new players this year:

capt. headdy
killgies
crispy

Welcome, guys. This is going to be fun!

These are the folks from last year:
Corey
EazyE
Dylan (aMD)

I have the draft schedule for Wednesday, August 13th at 6:30 PM central. Will that work for everyone, or should I push it back another week?

[Jon T.]

 Thanks Corey. That is perfect for me.  Wednesday will be my last day of work for a week or so.  I've got plans that weekend.   8-)

[corey]

I heard from Dylan also. He said that's a good time for him... and my brother said that Wednesdays are good as well.

Y'all try to log in and let me know if you can get signed up. Dylan said that it wouldn't let him in. He remembered that there was a series of #s last year, so I found it on the page and sent it to him. I also edited my post up there to include the #.

[wharf rat]

Hey guys,

I'm very late to this thread, I know, but if there are any last minute vacancies, I would love to sign up.  I'm not expecting it, but if  you need another, just shoot me a pm.  Good day...

[corey]

Will do.
