Hey [NoUser], I can play after 9 p.m. central time most nights. Just post here and let me know when you can play.
EDIT: in case of doubt, yes I am being sarcastic.
Swampy - lets shoot for tomorrow night (Thursday) - what time works for you? I will be available all day on Th and Friday as well. The weekend days I can do after 8PM EST - I work on Sat and Sun.

Looks like I''m up against Logan and Legion yet again this week. Every time I think I''m out... they keep pulling me back in.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
Spy, I have Bags in the other league at 8 on Thursday, so can we do 7 PM Thursday?

Wow is a five day window to schedule games the norm? If so no wonder it seems like I have no time to get games scheduled. I''m gonna have to ask for an extension this week as i''ll be out of town for the weekend giving me tonight and monday night only to get a game in. Also I would vote we go to a permanent seven day schedule and move the week up early if everyone gets their games in.

I think that was originally Grumpy''s intent. If people have the game scheduled and are consistant players the 5 day period is flexible.

I know this is a long way to go to answer the question but I like to support my arguments.
In the thread titled ""GWJFL Advanced League Signups""
Then, in ""GWJFL Advanced Started""
Finally, in ""The GWJFL 2005 interest thread"" (since you asked this in a GWJFL 2005 thread or I could have stopped with the last quote.
So, yes sir, it''s been 5 days for quite some time. I try to be accomodating but please try to get your game played within the timeframe (i.e. ""tonight or Monday night"") because 1) we need to keep this thing moving and 2) it will knock the two leagues out of sync again. Regardless, just keep me/the league aprised and we''ll decide on the extension once it''s a bit closer.

That reminds me Fletcher... I just sent the invite for you to take over the Giants. I think you have to fire up the Xbox to accept. Welcome to the big leagues.
Edit: Highlander, it looks like you have a game this week after all.

Grumpy I didn''t doubt it had been five days the entire time I just conciously thought about it because I was trying to schedule a game with Psycho and realized that if we don''t get our game in tonight then it looks like monday night is the only other night we have. For some reason I was just under the delusion that the weeks were the same as they were in the first league.
I understand the reasons for going with the five day schedule at the beginning of the league but based on the fact that many people are not getting their games played I would rather see a seven day schedule and more games get played. If no one else is with me that''s fine but considering the one league that actually was played through to completion used a seven day week and the fact that many of us are forced to try and schedule two league games a week because of the league split, I would think that maybe we need to re-evaluate some of the settings for the league and see if we can improve things.

I am available today ..as in right now.

I understand. I have yet to not grant an extension whenever someone has told me that they would get their game played if only the deadline got pushed back a day (sometimes even two). Now admittedly, I''m more inclined to grant it to those who have been consistent participants and have made a visible effort (i.e. posted in the thread) to get their game played during the week... but so far, I''ve not denied a request. (Two examples off the top of my head are when Legion and Logan lost their cable modem and when you recently suggested we add a day for Valentine''s Day.) I''m not inclined to say ""don''t sweat the deadline"" because then people will get lazy but do your best to get your games played and if, on rare occasions, you need an extra day, let me know; chances are you''ll get it. Zer gut? Gut.

Doesn''t matter to me one way or the other, but I did notice in the last two games that had weather, the lag was pretty bad.
Future reference, next league maybe shut that off (if possible)? Or do you guys want to keep it?

I don''t know, ours played pretty smooth in the rain tonight Logan but maybe my standards are lower.
I''m ok with keeping it.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
No, you''re right, the rain made it sluggish, but certainly playable. I think Grump''s with me on our snow game that the lag was no less than awful.
Our game just kind of reminded me of a question I meant to ask a week or two ago.

Hey Fletch Sunday is probably not going to be good for me. If you want to try for Saturday evening we can do that. I usually play after 9:30 central. If not this weekend, we''ll play Monay Night.
We''ll try to hook up on Sat night then maybe.
I''m really bumming that everyone seems to prefer playing after 10pm EST. Some of us have to work and stuff.

Yeah, come on pops, get with the program. We''re nerds, we stay up all night tanning in front of the monitor as the only source of light in the room. Ooh look, there''s enough coke cans on the floor to build a pyramid!
