FF2012: Official GWJFFL 2012 signup and discussion thread

Sorry, Rabbit, you're like 13th or 14th in line (ordered by post-relegation ranking) if I recall correctly. If a spot becomes available, I'll be in touch. Thanks.

Platinum monies incoming.

I couldn't let the Stele-justinbot rivalry go from last year. Had to follow him to silver. Jerk. :p

I look forward to your competition. Also, I need to actually look at players now.

Ah ok. So at least I'm still in the peon league I hope!

Are we still talking about fantasy football?

But of course. Any veterans who were in last season and re-claimed their spot before the first deadline are automatically in. As mentioned, everyone who has registered so far is in, and we even still have a single spot open in what is currently Bronze but will be Silver once Platinum is sorted and everyone else gets automatically shifted up.

I'm just waiting for the banks to open again so that I can get my Platinum fees in pennies and drop off in a big bag on your doorstep.

If anyone knows Cybardian (or, for example, has him on IM), please tell him he has to the end of the day to get me Platinum monies or I'm going to have to move down the list. Thanks.

Paypal'd money. Got too lazy for the pennies idea.

Got?

Well, I haven't heard a peep from Cybardian since sending the "give me money" email on Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 8:29 PM. In there, I said I was giving folks 72 hours but, because of the weekend, I was lenient. He's also not yet read my PM send 08/12/2012 - 10:30. I hope everything is ok but the show must go on. I've moved to the next person on the list - Kaostheory. The first of them to get me the monies is in.

In other news, there are 4 more days of open registration and we still have one slot open. There are 5 managers from last season who've not yet returned but are still welcome. New players are also welcome.

You've been paid, pal.

Ugh, that was a horrible pun.

One slot left - mine. Do I go with plan A and take it myself? Leave it open to see if Cybardian shows up? Or invite the next person on the list? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Take it!

It looks like Cybardian sent monies. Since he finished higher than me in Gold, I'll let him have it.

Sorry about any confusion on the payment, I had it in my head that I had until 8/18 based on this post for the 2012 section:

=======
If you are interested in participating in the premium Platinum league, please indicate as much when you register. Participants will be determined once veteran registration closes on 8/08. Failure to send registration fees by the close of registration on 8/18 will result in being dropped to the bottom of the ladder (i.e. to the bottom of the waiting list, if there is one, or GWJFFL Bronze if not). Should this occur, the next person on the list will be given 24 hours to submit their $25 before I move on to the next.
=======

Once I caught up to the e-mails, I paid quickly and (and was surprised at the new deadline). If the official rules are the the official rules, Kaos ought not have had the opportunity to jump in, but it is your call, Grumps. I'm good with whatever you decide...

Sorry for the confusion on the deadline; your point is valid. I moved it up so I could start getting everything sorted out, or else the latter half of this month is going to be (even more of) a nightmare. You're in and Kaos can have my spot, no worries.

Since just about everyone is shifting leagues anyway (in the standard heirarchy, that is), I'm reorganizing divisions across the board this year. (Yes, I know what I said.) Now that I've gotten the full lot of fees for Platinum, two of this season's maps are done:

Platinum
Gold

Silver (and Bronze if we somehow manage to add dozen or so new folks in the next 4 days) to be done once it's filled out.

Woot! Made it to Gold.

Also, Grumps, I moved back to Maryland and now live in Annapolis. Not a big deal.

The divisions in Platinum should be

East
West
North
Texas

Gah! You broke it!

Thanks for the update. I swapped you and Jolly. Like you said, no big deal... but since the invites for Gold haven't gone out yet anyway, it was easy enough.

My stuff for plat should be all set now. I also removed myself from silver. Everything looked at a glance as it should. I claimed a spot in east.

According to the spreadsheet you're supposed to be in the north division.

I can (and will) fix divisions; don't worry about it.

I need to rename my team. The toenail's grown back.

Toenail? That's a strange euphemism for your penis.

In everything i ever do I am in east divisions so it was just reflex.

I would support this.

I await with bated breath the discussions about scheduling our draft down at the bottom of the league tables.

Invitations have been sent via Fleaflicker to everyone who have registered so far. Check you inboxes and your spam folders. If your email has changed since last year, you should probably PM it to me. Thanks.
