Good luck to everybody this season. I hope we all have fun again as this is the main reason I play in this league (which isn''t to say that I won''t be trying to beat the snot out of you, should you be fortunate enough to be on my schedule). And thanks Grumpy for taking up the responsibility of managing the league. I''m sure it can be quite a task at times.

After combing through 9 pages of posts:
EQ OFF: ejay, Legion, styx120,
EQ ON: SwampYankee, Certis, Grumpicus
SpyNavy first voted for off, and then maybe he voted for on, I couldn''t tell.

If I missed someone, I apologize but 6/20 isn''t exactly ample feedback. As such, I had to judge based on what the greater ESPN community said in addition to the post that Certis quoted. While there were points made on both sides, the more intelligent arguments seemed to be made on the side in support of EQ.

That being said, I think I can still modify the settings as long as I haven''t generated the schedule yet (I can''t check until tonight but Swampy may know). Legend AI is locked in (this is GWJFL Advanced, remember?) but I may be open to turning EQ off. If I find that I can, I''ll create a poll thread and we can have a proper vote.

Edit: Blah. It looks like the ESPN forums are hosed ATM.

I didn''t respond to the debate because I didn''t want to create any more noise. If the commish thinks it''s a good idea, so do I. I vote EQ on. What, no, there''s nothing on my nose...

Blah, you were in the pocket of the Legend/EQ special interest groups from the get-go!

But just leave it on. I withdraw my EQ off vote just for the sake of avoiding unnecessary debate and argument.

After playing a number of games with it off and on online - my vote was Legendary EQ on... I really liked the AI boost and the reactive defense and offense... I thought I had posted that, but every once in awhile my posts get squirrely. Look forward to playing all of you - if there are any night owls this week - I am working nights so I would love to play around 1130pm EST....

Ouch. Should that just read Certis and Grump agreed.

Seriously though, I have been satiated and would suggest you just leave it alone at this point. Can of worms sealed.

Spy spam challenged, and then ignored mine. Go figure.

Thanks for the offer; I''ll usually drop everything to play some 2k5 but I''m trying to finish the SP campaign before WoW consumes my existence (except for league-related business, of course).

Always next time. So, was ""Bridget Jones"" everything you hoped it would be? Did you cry?
