Just curoious...what's the cutoff for being considered a midget? Also, is the term midget actually PC?
I believe hobbit is now the preferred nomenclature, dude.
That was my Dad's height. The white side of my blood pushed me to 6'0
I take no offense to either term but we prefer little people. I think the cutoff is a little under 5 feet. Growing up I was average height, then I went to a school that wasn't comprised of only mexicans.
Lol
Wow, really? I'm 6'1" and I'm the shortest guy on my dad's side of the family.
Why the hate for soccer? Short people can do very well in it, unlike most sports.

Isn't there a /roll in Diablo III(Or something else mutlpile of you play, starcraft has one no?). Assign a number to each team and select the order each player will roll ahead of time (one person does this, but others can witness it). If a 7 is rolled then you make the 8 the 7, the 9 the 8, and the 10 the 9 for the next roll. Why not do it that way, clearly fair.

Epic last page gents.
I'd hate it if AT or I lost and then didn't get into the league because we lost some stupid lottery. That wouldn't make any sense at all. He's been around since Madden 10 and won the last SB, I've been around since Madden 04 online tournaments. If it was vets (described as 2+ years with the league) get preference and pick first then the rest is sorted out, I'm ok with that.
Edit: I like Livewire's suggestion, but there's more than 32 players around.

I think you've already got the right idea.
The lottery eligible teams will surely be prioritized based on Vets (only vets can PLAY for a team anyway!).
This isn't like "infinite people play for 32 spots." I just assumed that was implied. I think it'd be pretty short sighted if we had like 45 people play for 32 spots and then said "Sorry half of you, you're out." The likelier outcome is "hey 45 people, 13 of you are on a waiting list, vets have priority" and then of the people who need to play for teams, they will go to the lottery.
Guys like AT, you and Livewire wouldn't ever get left out in the cold because of Stripper Lottery.
I don't have an exact time but it'll probably have to be around 9-10pm est since im waiting for my car.
I'm not a fan of this lottery system. Seems redundant. If 90 percent of the league already knows what team they want what is the point? This league is too bitter. Once one domino falls and someone loses their team, we are going to start seeing everyone lose their team. I don't see a problem with a lottery involved for players who don't care what team they want to use, or for those fighting for teams and losing out.
Speaking of this, Birdie makes an interesting argument. He has played a long time, so losing a claim on the Saints would be rough. However I can see the counter argument where you give up your right towards a team if you want to play for another one. Spin the wheel of fate and see where it lands!

This is the way I see it. Just doesn't seem too fair for someone to have two team opportunities. But i dont care in the end as long as i got a team

I understand Bird and his point. The problem is we shouldn't reward Bird or FMT with the Saints if they lose out on the 49ers. Not fair to others fighting for teams like At, Wellie etc. A lottery would be fair. A Vet lottery and a newbie lottery. Once the vets get their teams
Through the remainder into the newbie lotto.

How is it any different than how it's been handled in the past? BigAT was gonna get the Packers last year (or at least have to play eznark) if he had lost to Wellie because he had used them the previous year.
Like I said, I've had the Saints for the last 3 years of Madden and it sucks to possibly lose them without the opportunity to play for them. I'd totally understand if there were an actual Saints fan in this league, but there's not. I haven't used the 49ers in Madden since I joined this league in '06 or '07, so the Saints have kind of become my adopted team.
Enough whining though...it is what it is.

I really can't wait for FMT to end his Madden career in Vikings purple. He'll be joining old man Favre soon planted into the ground!
The prospect of FMT with AP is terrifying.

I like the idea that DCX mentioned: having a vet lottery before a rookie lottery. I don't care what it comes down too but I want some equality in the league at least. It didn't seem to fair for AT to have claim for the Packers last year and it doesn't really seem fair now either.
I think the vets get two advantages above rookies: Having the ability to play for their teams and also possibly having a lottery pick before rookies. Having two claims for teams seems like way too much though. But in the end, whatever everyone agrees with is fine with me.

as if you're going to be involved in the lottery lulz
The consequences of me having scored more points in 1 game than you did for half a season.
no one said you were losing the packers
I was talking about last year. AT had a claim on the Packers if he lost to Wellie. At least, that's how I remember it.

the spirits of all the innocent animals you murdered convinced us to give the packers to bigAT if he loses
I prefer the drama of a lottery.
