So anyone else I'm missing? So far those are the 13 teams. I'd like to get a few more. Anyone else I've missed? This league will probably open up as soon as the last one closes. Maybe sooner. I just need a head count so I know how large to make the league as I'd love to get it rolling soon.

For the record, if we can't add one, I'll drop to get us down to 12.

14 players now. Kush is in. Anyone else? I'd love to get this rolling soon. Is Bumpie/Bean in? Anyone else that didn't play last season, but wants in? Also, Kush mentioned a slightly longer season and stiffer deadlines on getting your game in. Thoughts?

Yeah, unless people come up with valid excuses that warrent an extension, I'd say stiffer deadlines. All in all, Season 1 was awesome, looking forward to Season 2. I also put my 2 cents in on a draft, I don't think we need one, but it could be something we look into for Season 3, I'd say Season 1 was a good first league.

I am a friend of Bean and Kush and I would like to join the season 2 league if I may.

I think you can get in if Bean is in. We need an even number. So shake the trees and get Bean to respond and then we will have room.

Thanks. I will talk to him and see what he says.

I've been completely oblvious to all things "All Pro" lately. Orange Box, Halo, Guitar Hero... man I need a sugar mama to support my addictions.
Actually, I'm completely stoked to have a "tolerant mama" that lets me play, so maybe I'll just set my sights on the lottery!

I was on the fence, leaning towards not returning. But I had a lot of fun in season 1 (despite going 3-5). So if you need me to balance out the league, I'm in. If Im an odd number, there will be no hard feelings if I am excluded.

Well, we'd all love for you to play, obviously, but understand if you're busy. As it looks right now, Donan is out and shag26 wants in. So we'd need you to balance things out in order to let shag26 in. Up to you.

I was just worried about being the one making things uneven.

Sad to see Donan back out, hopefully we see him in season 3.0

Yeah, hopefully we see him back in the fold again. For now that gives us 16 players. Unless I hear further requests. I'll begin forming a league soon with 16 teams in mind. I'll give out the password soon and after everyone is signed up I'll create the schedule.

Prederick makes 17. So we need to recruit one more person or whomever is the most on the fence, let me know.

I am most on the fence.

Edit: As a matter of fact, I'm going to take this opportunity to bow out. I'd be game for a third season if there is one but I need a little break for now. Thanks.

(If you do find another, though, I'll come back to make it even. See? I told you I was on the fence. )

Thanks, Grumpicus. We'll miss you and hopefully you'll be back for season 3 indeed.

As for Season 2, I created a league called "GWJ Legends S2".

The league has 16 slots for players. 8 teams will make the playoffs (it only allows increments of 4). There will be 8 games. The only other choice is 16. I assume most would rather play 8 games and a tournament and move on to the next season, than a 16 game season.

If there is an outcry over that I can make it 16 games. But there is no option for 10, 12, etc.

6 minute quarters.

The password is "Goodjers". I'm not PMing the password this time. In part to save time and in part because I now know that if someone stumbles on this thread who doesn't belong, I can boot them out of the league before creating the schedule. So sign up when you're ready. Once everyone on the list has joined, I'll create the schedule and off we go, some of with new teams, some of us seeking redemption.

And... go!

I'll sign up today sometime after twiddling around with my various teams some more and figuring out which one I'll be able to tolerate losing with the most.

I initially was going to not continue, then figured it would be weird not to defend my crown, but now feel confident in my original impulse. I'm upping my webcomic release to two times a week, my job is crazy, I've got recording to do for an indie release in January and I still need time for the ladyfriend. I'm sure DS knows as well as anyone that feeling in your gut that a certain game just needs to leave your shelf. It's a feeling that can probably be overcome with careful medication, but in this instance I am inclined to follow it. Best of luck, gents!

Nooooooo!!!!!

That means we're odd numbered again, in addition to losing Slumberland...

I'll recreate the league when we figure out how to make it an even number.

If its "go" time and you're uneven, you can back me out. I dont mind sitting out a season and returning for the next.

If you can get another, that works to. But I won't be upset the least bit if you need to drop me from league 2.

We'll let's see if we can pick up someone else soon. I don't want to have to recreate the league either in order to get it to 14 players.

Well if you can't pick up another, I'll jump back in, as promised, to even it out. (Unfortunately, though, it may be Sunday or Monday until I can get in so feel free to find someone else.)

No worries. I'm happy to give people the weekend to sort out their teams, etc. and join as they please. I'm just a facilitator.

Besides, I'm out of town this weekend, so I'll have limited web access.

Me too. I'll join Sunday night, if that's ok. Also, you may have noticed that I'm not posting much. Is that why it's gotten so civil around here? Anyway, that's because I started a new job last Monday and don't want to be caught on a gaming website in my first week. Second week, we'll see...

I should get signed up this weekend as well. Working my monthly seven day stretch of overnights. Plus I have a cold.

I have almost a brand new team. So this next season could be really ugly, or I could be a genius.

Just the password I gave out earlier. You go into the XBox Live part of APF2k8 and you find the leagues. Search for a league (I think you hit bumper to do this) and do a search for our league.
