Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Demosthenes11]

look at it this way: you are first in the 2nd round

[Headspace]

There aren't even 20 good players in the entire league.

[Akiyama]

oh god, 15. that's terrible.

[Demosthenes11]

I heard jimmy clausen might be available at 15

[Tymon]

3rd? That's the best draft spot in a 15+ player I've had in 5 years

[jimbo]

16th D:

so first 2 rounds are done on the forums, what happens after that? sorry, never did a 20 man before and never done anything but live drafts before

[Zoolander]

couldnt we just do the whole damn thing offline? or at least some slightly more significant number of rounds? not quite sure i understand the reasoning behind only doing two rounds offline.

[Demosthenes11]

because getting 20 people to decide and all be there is impossible, and the first 2 rounds in 20 man are really important for obvious reasons. why wouldnt you do it here...there is no downside

[Zoolander]

hmm? im not saying i dislike the idea of doing drafting offline, i like the idea, im saying why only two rounds and not more, its not like we don't have time. we could start it right now, idk what the wait even is. not like people will miss it.

[Demosthenes11]

id like to see one more week of preseason tbh

[Plow]

I think he's saying let's do more of it this way. I suppose we could, I dunno with it offline there's no time limits and stuff, 40 picks is quite a few to go through that way. Let's see how long it takes to get those 2 rounds done.

BTW let's get started? I can't remember who Horned Frog Hustlers is, but you're up!

If we get stuck at my dad either I can draft for him or we can vote for who he should take or some shit.


I'm not going to set any time limits or anything, partly because being at the end of 20 man sucks balls (I know, I was 16+ the first 2 years), it'll give you guys a bit more time to see preseason and stuff... but please don't be lame about it, let's get this done fast so we can get a couple more rounds in please!

[Zeb]

Could just keep picking offline until the online draft date?

[Zoolander]

Should probably send out PMs and/or make a new thread?

[Tyche]

Easiest way would probably be to make a group

[Plow]

tyche do your mod powers extend to spam? i.e. could you mod a thread for us there? seems easier to just link it and work it out there than to set up a group and stuff

[Tyche]

Made the group for you. Spam would require constant modding, and I have school 5 days a week. Only thing they have to do is click "join" and start posting.

[jimbo]

Plan to have something worked out by the weekend when the league is full. we're at 10/12. Fistandantilus and Denizens have til the 20th to accept their spot or one goes to you and I'll have to pick another.

its the 20th and i call dibs on that last spot!

[Plow]

Ok I suppose that works, thanks tyche.

Everyone that's in 20 man please join that group! There's a few names I'm not certain of who's who, so please post saying who you are in the who's who thread, even if everyone already knows so I have a good list to look at, thanks.

[Plow]

I think I have to "set custom order" in order to be able to add guys to rosters. I think I'll wait to do that until the first round is done so that there's no issues and so that if necessary I can put it in backwards if we need to start after an odd round.

First 2 picks are up, Metta World Peace you're up, Maurice Jones Poo on deck.

[Gadritan]

Foster #2. I expected nothing less from you Plow. lolllll
