GWJFL 2005: Week 10

The new deadline is 3/17/2005. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Green Bay @ Cleveland
San Diego @ New England
NY Giants @ Kansas City
Indianapolis @ Baltimore
Philadelphia @ Washington
Detroit @ Jacksonville
St. Louis @ Carolina
Houston @ Pittsburgh

NeoCell, any night after 9pm CST works best for me.

Edit: Yes, that's a bit more than the 5 days specified in your league contract. Please get your games played because I'll be fairly unlikely to grant an extension when I've already built one into the schedule.

Thin_J, you have the Giants, right? Monday before Ghost Recon?

Oh Stric, let the pain continue. Swampy beat me so I''m sure you''ve got an excellent shot!

I''m gone until Sunday evening though, otherwise I can make much anything work.

I haven''t seen my work schedule for next week, but assuming I open on monday like usual, then I''m there

EJay, I''m available to play our game any weeknight 6:30PM - midnight and anytime this weekend.

Also, I have a game question for everyone. Does anyone know if a player can change the color of the disk that appears below their active player? I''m red/green colorblind and having a heck of a time seeing the red disk on the green grass of the field when I''m Player 2. I''ve always had this problem with sports titles, I wish a developer would wise up to how many colorblind people are out there.

Wow... Legion and Certis (GWJLF3) in the same week. I fear for my tender gaming psyche.

Legion, I can be available Saturday afternoon, Sunday evening/night, Monday 5-7 and 10-?, and Tuesday, 5-6 and 9-?

All times EST>

I''m not sure if it works for online play, but try plugging your controller into a different port. In single-player and side-by-side multiplayer, the colors/ports from left-to-right are red, blue, orange and purple (I may have orange and purple reversed).

Grumpy, not sure if you read the entire thread from last week but if you go back and read it I don''t think I should have taken the loss in last weeks game.

Certis, weekdays I can go anytime between 7pm-1am PST so let me know if those work for you.

Monday, 7PM PST would be fine Stric. I''ll see you then!

Allright i''ll pencil you in right between Gilmore Girls and the OC.

As hollow as it rings, I offer my sincerest apologies. Your game was the last of the four that I had to determine and I thought I''d read the entire thread. I saw Logan''s last post but must have stopped before getting to the last sentence (where he offered the forfeit) as I interpreted the post to mean that he couldn''t make the game due to circumstances beyond his control and therefore I didn''t think it fair to penalize him (again, because 1) I thought the circumstances were beyond his control and 2) I missed his offer to take the lost). I assure you that I would prefer 100 times over to have one participant or the other to take responsiblity and forfeit than to have to determine the winner by random luck. Ultimately, it''s my fault and I can but once again offer my apologies and a partial refund of your entry fee.

Let me know when you want to play Bagga - will have to be either late Sunday night or sometime around 7pm during the week since next week I work 10PM - 6am. Also Grump i dont think the week advanced - I went to the web site and it still shows me in week 9.

Let''s shoot for late Sunday night; we''re in the same time zone so it should be like, easier and stuff. Anyone want to help me test my new xbox/connection setup tonight?

How about 11Pm Sunday night?

Perfect, see you then!

Well your record is 7-2...

Yep it is but it keeps dumping me into the week 9 schedule - usually it sends me to the current week. Maybe it is a site issue or just my brain screaming it doesnt want to be at work.

Uh huh ''m sure it had nothing to do with the 44-14 spanking the Jets took a couple of weeks ago.

On a more serious note I was always under the assumption that if one person showed up for a game and the other missed it the person who showed up was the default winner regardless of circumstances. Beyond that it just stings a bit as I felt I went above and beyond normal expectations by waiting around for 40 minutes for my oponent to show up. Either way it''s not a big deal I just thought maybe you could go back and retroactively correct it.

Frostfire? Is that Logan Frost?

Yes. He replaced his old XB Live name, though he still has that name on Xfire and such.

I''ll be available Tuesday all through Thursday, from 2pm PST on. I can''t guarantee Sunday and I know for certain Monday''s booked.

After Thursday, there''s no telling what I''ll be up to as Friday after class will be the start of my Spring Break.

So I guess it''ll have to be Tuesday. I don;t think I''ll be on at all today except to maybe Play my golf tournament. I can be avaliable Monday night if you become availabel to play then. Otherwise, we''ll look to Tuesday.

Legion, when would you like to kick my ass... I mean... play?

*sigh*

I''d love to actually win a league game one of these days. I suppose the one with Warlock counts, despite us not reporting the results, but I mean.. damn. 1 out of like.. 12 across two leagues.

The outlook on that one is far from good though. Very far from good.

Bagga we still on for tonight?

Our game was closer than the score indicated, Thin. Good playing with you, man.

Bagga - I forgot you were my opponent in the other league as well. We could have played that one as well Let me know when you want to play tampa - trust me they arent the Eagles

Oh, d''oh! I didn''t even think about that either. Thanks for the thrashing last night; I had some good drives but couldn''t seem to get the momentum or stop TO and his merry men.

But, a more important thing happened last night. I FINISHED A GAME WITHOUT DROPPING!!! The gods be praised, this is a wonderful day!! I didn''t think it was possible, we had some hiccups but the game actually finished. This is huge. And, it even happened with my old xbox. Guess who just listed a ""barely used"" xbox on eBay.

Legion - pick your ""where are you"" post!

Option 1:

""Legion... Paging Legion... Where are you?""

Option 2:

""Attention GWJFL shoppers, will a Mr. *Legion* please come to the customer service desk - you have an opponent waiting.""

Option 3:

""Will the real Slim Legion please stand up - please stand up - please stand up?""

Option 4: ""LegionwantingtoplayhisleaguegamesaysWHAT?""

Mental Note: Don''t buy a used xbox on ebay anytime soon.
