yeah. i think we should do it with committed guys


sableholic, check your PMs


but damn it. i was leading the nfc east!

This might be the best idea as it looks like most have jumped ship or flaked :(
I can't get a hold of Davidr0xu , so if anyone wants to sub for him for the time being?

might as well start over with 16 players?

Where did everybody go?

IDK man, it seems like everyone is flaking out on the season. Honestly, I am having more fun with NCAA right now than this damn league......

God Damn league splitting between PS3 and 360.....fucked everything up.

I don't know why someone would join and league then not even play two weeks into it...I think we should just keep going and start giving forfeits halfway through the season.

The only problem with that is I don't want to get knocked out of playoff contention just because someone has 4 wins that are forfeits. Plus, it makes stats worthless.

yep stats are worthless. We need to do house cleaning and only allow players in who have played at least the first 3 weeks, or have an incredibly legit reason for only having 2 weeks played. That reason would have to be the other user didn't play his game.

I would be completely down for a 16 COMMITTED player league.
 
I think we should single out those that are not playing their games then find suitable replacements. I'm sure there are GAF members in the main forum who are Madden fans who weren't aware of the league.

Did our league fall apart? I played the first three games, but never got in touch with anyone for the 4th. Is it too late? I was enjoying the league. I thought I was ahead of the curb on my games so I didnt check the thread for a few days

No more than 2 people would fit into this category. Time to trim the fat.

I don't think it's too late to get your week 4 game in. It just depends on if your opponent is still active (or in my case, if you even have an opponent for week 4). :p

Edit: On that note, I have a little bit of time before I go out for the day, so if anyone is available right now to sub for the Jets, let me know.:D

Count me among those who think we should just restart this thing with a smaller group of dedicated players. Right now it's not like just one or two people are missing that need subs, it's a fairly significant amount. At this point only two week 4 games have been played.

Quality > Quantity

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Free for a sub if anyone needs one.

Do you want the Panthers in the PS3 league? Fmt will give you them.

+1
16 players and try EA's league maybe? while no stats suck, it beats having to enter them, and maybe more people would be commited?

Hey guys! How's it going? So yeah...

basic_computer_help_restart.gif


Too many flakes in here and none of us have time to chase people around. Who's in for a committed league? And commit carefully. I will be saving names for future league considerations. I'd rather have an awesome, smaller active league. It's just so much more fun, especially with awards and such. So who's with me?

02. woodchuck
03. LJ11
04. Somnia
05. daw840

08. Andowsky

10. BigJonsson
11. BigAT
12. vumpler
13.
14. sableholic (we'll sub until he gets back)
15. dammitmattt
16. Slo (we'll sub until his RROD is back)
 
If the league is indeed dead then that sucks. I feel bad because I wasn't exactly aggressive with finding my opponent but so many didn't post here.

If this league still lives I'll play. If not, I can't re-commit to a new reason.

If you'll have me I'm 100% committed. I have my 360 back and will play in this league and the PS3 league which I'm 5 weeks into (to show i wont flake =P).

Of course I'm in!! :p

edit: I think that GAF membership and regular posting should be required. Sucks for people that are banned, but that seems to be an issue. That way we can better track who is actually making an attempt at getting their games done.

Agreed. Although the one exception is dammittmatt. He's coming off his ban soon and he actually got in more games then most. :lol

Also, where's the KC avatar?

So, pheeniks? What exactly are you saying? :lol If we do a restart then you're out?

Dammittmattt is an exception, as well as Ando I guess. But Ando is permabanned so he can't really interact with the rest of the league.


The KC avatar is gone because the image was removed from the server I was using. I haven't replaced it because.........well if you know anything about the Chiefs right now you know why........this is the first time in my life I have actually been ashamed of my team :(

You know I'm in...I'm not exactly a regular poster, but I think I've shown that I'm committed to my leagues.

AB, how much time do we have left on LD? Are we gonna be able to fit in a 16 game schedule plus playoffs?

If we run out of time I will take care of the second subscription.

Andowsky and Bird are both very active as well. Both can be contacted through XBL or I can contact them for you on XBL. I seem to have a very semilar schedule to them and can contact them all the time it seems :lol Here's the sign ups for the other league (which is basically the same list as you're compiling AB)

1. vumpler
2. bosevan
3. Andowsky
4. bird f3c3s
5. daw840
6. Nightz (maybe)
7. BigAT
8. BigJonsson
9. Birdman02
10. Mr Stroke
11. Blakero

So with AB that puts us at 12. 12 man leagues aren't terrible but 16 is much better if they are active.

I'd re-join, but I am actually going to be going to Italy for 16 days, leaving this Sunday. I was actually going to talk to one of you about a sub since I thought this league was still going to be alive then, but it since its restarting I won't really need to do that I guess. I would certainly play when I got back, but it's probably more of a hassle making someone sub for me every game until I get back. I'll let you decide on that though.

Yeah, unfortunately. I would have finished out the old season out of courtesy but I have more work to do than I could have possibly imagined...

Switching teams (if you want to switch teams) will be allowed, but not until after the final line-up is set. Also, the owners of the previous teams have the right to keep the team they had.

Ok I will consider this offer AB. Depending on the people keeping their team I might switch it up. I play with the panthers all day every day so a change of pace might be nice... Might...

Fear not fan of shitty teams, the Rams are here to support you! I posted in the other thread, but I'm down for the 100% committed league.
