Clash of the Titans 1 Posted June 5, 2006 oh, and I was thinking... why bother finding a site to do the slow-draft on....we have a Yahoo message forum on the league site. It's private and should be fine if everyone respects that we're using it to draft and not to talk crap (at least until after the draft) the big drawback of doing a draft on yahoo! cat-daddy ( besides getting everyone together for one night) is the 90 second timer yahoo uses per pick....their software sometimes doesn't update efficiently and occasionally slows during drafts...a slow draft on another site over a couple of weeks is much better in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was saying a slow pick league. We are not picking in a live draft - it was decided that it would be a slow draft - ala 12 hours to pick or whatever. We can do that on Yahoo's message forum as easily as we can some other forum. Get it? Solo Pls send me details to join to my email address from this site please. Thanks Well it's about freakin time.

SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Seetness 34- Where are you, my young friend?? Kindof ironic that the 'inspiration' for establishing this league is draggin' his feet. Id like to see you climb on board already. The train cant leave the station without you. Guys, Ive set up a draft thread in the Mocking Station here on the site. Im not sure what the decorum is with that....whether or not we need permission to run our draft here, but anyway its set up and you guys are able to drop in there and do what you will. Still hoping we can get this thing rolling sometime this coming weekend. But we need our caboose. Oops. Hadnt seen that you were callin', Sweet. I sent you an email with the info. Youll be #12, and hopefully for your sake that wont be an indicator of where youre planning on finishing in the standings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 6, 2006 6/6/06 is not the day for us to have our draft fate determined. Im waiting until 12:01AM Eastern time to push this thing through. If you guys dont mind of course. I know the suspense is killing us all. It may still be the 6th in your zone, but trick your mind into thinking its the 7th, because after all.....on the 7th day, didnt God create fantasy football??? Atleast, that's one of my beliefs. So, Im gonna look over all these emails, and make sure were all set, Ill send everyone out another email if you sent me one earlier today, and at a minute into tomorrow, Im running this program which will determine our fate. I assume it will not be instantaneous, but I guess we'll find out. Anyone with anything more to add, now's the time. Oh, and by the way. Should I be one of the unfortunate souls to fall in the 6 thru 10 position, Im just letting you characters know right now, Ill be looking to wheel and deal. So, if you have a top 4 pick, and want to work something out, give it some thought. But we have a few days to iron out any scenarios. Part of my MO in FF is absolutely wheeling and dealing, slicing and dicing, dinkin' and duckin', rollin' and reelin'........alright, thats it...I got nothin'. Tighten up youngsters! I forgot movin' and shakin', shakin' and bakin', rockin and rollin'......did I mention slicin' and dicin'?? I got nothing. Tighten up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace08 11 Posted June 6, 2006 So you're saying we can't do any draft day trades? I know it's a slow draft so it's technically not a "draft day" but you get my point.

Real men draft where they're slated - no bullsh!t. I don't trust none of you - so no dealing of picks. You wanna try to get over in some collusion deal so we can all punch you in the face in front of your wife & kids, that's on you for later. But for the draft if you get stuck with pick 1.06, focking deal with it! That's what this whole thing was about, right? A challenge to pick the best players where you can? Seperate the men from the boys? Well there ya go - have a nice challenge. [/rant] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_scooter 0 Posted June 6, 2006 im with u Ace. lets not allow Scooter's whining to persuade us. stay strong! You accepted the same invite to the league I did. Way back on page one this was asked and answered. I could care less if you all want to do draft pick deals - I'll just gracefully bow out and y'all can find another manager. No biggie, really. But the league I joined doesn't have draft pick deals. And I like that because none of my leagues do - neither of my local $100 leagues, nor the WCOFF. So it's far more beneficial for me to draft in free leagues that don't do it. And last year, after a particularly ridiculous league I vowed to never be a part of a league where draft picks get dealt again. It slowed the draft to a crawl, and the same two or three people kept making deals - it ended up being a total cluster. Ask Lost On Draft Day about it sometime. Chalk it up to experience and personal preference. No whining here - I'll just bow out. No sweat off my arse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace08 11 Posted June 6, 2006 Scooter.... I feel ya...but we are 12 relative strangers (as far as I know). What would be the point to collusion in a league where no money is going to change hands? What....a collusion for utter supremacy of proverbial "bragging rights"??? Seems a little far fetched to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Fellas, Im the last person that wants to have the 10th pick in this draft. That said, Ill take that 10 hole and still turn this league upside down and spank some serious gentlemen buttocks!! I like to wheel and deal as much.....no, moreso than anyone, but I say we stick to our positions and let the chips fall where they may. I made a gentleman agreement early on, that if we went thru with this thing, we'd just stick to our spots and give this thing some real legitimacy. Not that it wouldnt be legit if we all started trading up or out of our positions, but things are likely to just get crazy complicated if its a draft free for all. I realize I only carry one vote here, but I really would like to see us all agree that we'll square and up, throw honest blows above the belt and keep it relatively clean. Imo, the draft will absolutely rock if we DONT deal slots. So, would you guys consider this, and make this small concession. We've got an excellent thing going here with 12 solid owners. This will probably be the best league I play in this year and it'll be free! So lets just pick our teams with the picks we get, and when the dust settles and players are picked, and teams are established, then lets open the floodgates and drown the town! We all know what were doing...some just better than others! -Solo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then Ron Dayne in the 3rd, 4th I hope one of my 25-30 ranked rb still there ( fwp, barlow, martin, dunn, duckett , and yes Ahman Greeen). follow up in the 5th with a Deagelo Williams, Addai, Bush, Gore, MBIII, or someone that dropped for you. 6th Nab best available WR/RB - - Ok just food for thought!
