no, i have no control to do that.

as for bigAT i don't know what to do if he's going to be without power for a few days. i'll take a look at his cap space to see what he's working with anyways. i know for a fact he signed his players he wanted because of the victor cruz comment

He might be capped out anyways. Cruz cost him a pretty penny.

Nightz you bought Ragnarok? Now I'll have to get it so we can play online!

I just read the review from Moriarty at IGN. He's a libertarian so I trust him implicitly. He did not like it, and even went below the approved 7-10 to give it a 5.

How could anyone like Jim Sterling, he's the most annoying "journalist" out of all of them!

With that said... I want that Ragnarok game! I wasted too much time playing Ragnarok Online when I was younger

Damn, we're stuck on this week? Glad I didn't bid on Keller. Knew it was too good to be true. :cool:

I plan on drafting a LT and moving my current LT to RT. Massie's attributes improved a lot through the season, so now he's pretty much the only trade chip I have.

you should try to see what his ratings are at RT. They change when you move him. Not just the overall, but the actual blocking stats.

Wait. The draft did move? To when?
Click to expand...

i'm not going to advance when there are league members without power. if that happens, the draft is going to be moved back.

so no, the draft hasn't officially moved but if guys like AT don't show up within the next day or so it'll be very hard to get through FA before saturday

Well I hope we find better times than that Tuesday Wednesday bullshit. I can't make it to those that early.

Or I could play a season with 35 players I suppose.

Doesn't matter. We still have a shitload of steps to do. It's gonna move. :p

if this was something where bigat was just missing it because he had other stuff to do then i'd move forward without him but he has no power

p.s.

even if you dont "make" the draft, your team will have players drafted. and what time would work for you? remember, a lot of guys are eastcoast so even though 8 pm seems fine for us, that's bed time for some!

More like your team will draft players you probably don't want.

How the off-season works:

  • Pro Bowl
  • Super Bowl / Scouting - You can scout while the 9ers win the SB.
  • [Stage 1] - Re-signings (Note: it will tell you that same week if they accept the contract or not. All you have to do is back out of the signing screen and it will be on your weekly checklist.) If your players decide not to sign, you can franchise them or let them go to FA.
  • [Stage 2] - Free Agent Signing - A WILD KURT WARNER APPEARS - In this stage, you will shoot your initial offers to FAs. It will tell you who has offered contracts and who the player is thinking of signing with by way of team logos under his info.
  • [Stage 4] (skips 3 for some reason) - Scouting/FA offers continued - In this stage, you can scout rookies in addition to offering FAs more/less/no money or signing them.
  • [Stage 6] (skip again) - More Scouting and FA offers. You get more scouting points. The same amount you get on a regular week. This is your final week to get offers in or take them away. Some FAs sign early so you might even have a signing or two done.
  • [Stage 7] - More scouting, more scouting points. FA is done. Last chance to spend this season's scout points.
  • [Stage 8] - NFL Draft/ FA recap - This is where we take speedy, 6'10 running backs with 95 truck and 98 stiff arm. You are no longer allowed to scout.

Quoted so people stop asking about scouting. Though I know they still will. Even the commish doesn't read the schedule!

but players nonetheless!

sucks that you can't set your draft board!

What a glaring omission for a team that said they wanted it to be more accessible to the casual audience.

Rinse, you know how you wont be able to make it to the draft? Well, you could really use a player like Jared Allen if you wanted to get rid of some picks!

My secondary is terrible! But I don't have any money to sign a big name, and I know the good ones will be gone by the time I pick. :(

Strapped for cash too. It lowered mine even after my re-signings. Even with the rookie reserve, it doesn't make sense. Oh well...

Hi.

Still without power. I hope to have a more accurate assessment on when I might get it back tomorrow, but it certainly doesn't sound good right now (multiple days).

So after reading like 7 pages of shit talking on the site and how you are completely incapable of doing anything free agent related through it...is there anything I can accomplish on my phone?

I'll be on AIM for a few minutes.

you can do some things from the site but its trash. Your best net would let a bro log you in and do it for you.

I won't be able to make the draft Wednesday as I work like humans should. Assuming it's possible, can you start the draft at a given time, allow the people who won't make it to set a draft board, and then stop and restart it later? I don't want to get completely fucked out of all of these picks I've accumulated.

We still might make Saturday if someone can be ATs proxy till he gets back online.

It can all be done via AIM proxy and website. We can do this!!

Can't have the draft during the week because people have lives to live! Can't have the draft during the weekend because people have lives to live!

I think we should just do the draft by e-mail. Like how you could play old Civ games. That way everyone can pick whenever they are able to! How long can you pause the draft anyway?
