All Pro Football 2K8 Legends League - 3rd Try's a Charm?!

I saw Natone Means on another team as I was signing up. He was a big time favorite of mine back in the day.

I haven't played with earl campbell yet, but I don't think we are banning him in our league. In fact, due the nature ofthis league, "Toe in the Water", I'd say it would be good to have him in somewhere. I'd like to see if the rumors are all that they are cracked up to be.

As far as I'm concerned, no one is off limits. I've been able to stop Earl Campbell personally. And hopefully we'll have some fun and play another season.

In

I'm in

I'm all signed up. I think we're full up now.

We're full. The schedule has been generated. It's time to play. It's time for Okoye to rumble....

....maybe

I'm checking the thead, waiting for it to be GO TIME BABY.

<--- Fully expecting a 0-12 record.

If you're watching this thread, Kush, let me know when you want to schedule our game. I'm available today and tomorrow (on vacation from work), but on Thursday I'm heading out of town for a few days. I'll probably get back late Sunday afternoon.
---Todd (Werewolves)

Kush is off tomorrow. I'll send him an email today to check this thread so you guys can set something up.

And to DSgamer, I will be around all week, I'll shoot you an invite if I see you online.
PS: Be gentle

Todd, as Bean mentioned, I'm around after work today and off tomorrow. I have some house work to do when I get home, but other than that, anytime after 7pm (EST) should be fine.

FULL?

Crap. One night of not being able to get to my box, and I'm out after signing up for the early league. How many other people missed out? How did we go from getting 10 or so to sign up to now having some left out? Where was everyone two weeks ago when we signed up the first time?

Alright, I'm bitter about this, as a major reason I bought this game was to play with Goodjers in a league again. f*ck. Now I have to wait 2-3 months...

Urge to kill rising... [/homer]

EDIT: Damnit.

That sucks, firsesloth. Not sure how that happened. I was surprised to see the league full last night. I went on to drop and rejoin as I had made some adjustments to my team. I was scared to deat hthat in the time i dropped, and then signed back on someone would, at that moment, steal my slot.

It sucks that we would just be one short now of our origianl league, and one of the early joiners is the one left out.

Firesloth was definitely one of the first people signed up for the initial league. I'm sorry you didnt get in, that truly sucks. I notice you're online time to time when I'm messing around. Im not the best of players, but shoot me an invite and we can get some games in.

And Im not sure it will be 2-3 months til we wrap it up. If people stay dedicated to playing their games and we can rollforward more often than once a week, we'll be done before you know it.

Here's the thing. I'm trying my best here. I meticulously got the names of everyone who wanted to play. I took inventory of people who decided to bogue out and I replaced them with new invites. So all told out of the original roughly 14 people that said they were going to play, I invited like 15. Then we waited and waited and waited for the league to fill up. Someone suggested we restart with a lower number, I agreed and so I knocked it down to 12. And then the league sat there at 12 forever. And we waited and waited and waited. And then suddenly it filled last night. So one of the original 14 that didn't sign up the first time must have signed up this time.

I'm not sure what to say. If people stick with it, make it snappy, this season should be over quickly. It's only 8 games and then the playoffs. I know you wanted in, firesloth. I wanted you in. I would restart the league today if I felt it would fill up again immediately at 14 people. But that didn't happen last time, so I'm afraid we'd end up creating leagues over and over again and never get any momentum. Whereas if we play this season, figure out who wants to play another one, who wants in, etc. it hopefully we be less painful next time.

I in no means "own" the league. You guys do and I volunteered to spearhead it. I'm just trying to do my best and by my best I mean get a league actually going with all or most of the people who want in. If I could have made that original 14 man league fill up I would have.

Anyway, sorry, firesloth. If I thought I could delete the league from the server again and 14 people with you included would sign up immediately I would do it in a heartbeat. Like I said before. It's not my league, it's your league and I just volunteered to help get it going. I fear if I did that, though, we'd run the risk of not getting a league going.

I agree, but firesloth has been committed from the get go and probably a pain and more delay, but we really need to include him. Just my opinion tho'. But again, his comittement has been there from the start. (btw, I appreciate the work and effort DS' is putting into this. It's hard getting everyone to do their thing and get things going. Maybe put a header on a new topic saying something like 'LAST CALL NEW LEAGUE(3rd and LAST TRY). FRIDAY DEADLINE' or something like that. I don't know, hard call, but again fire's been ready an imho, should be included.

(BTW: if it makes it easier to keep this league going, I will bow out and firesloth can take my spot. I can wait for next go around. I will have just as much fun reading about the games and hearing about the banter (I hopefully non-players can view that stats of the league. Just let me know. No big deal).

Sorry to be such a downer about this. It just feels like I got hosed, not by anyone, especially not by you DS, but just generally. I'm confused about where the slots went, since the last league had so few sign-ups.

I'm not sure what you can do. I'm not even sure anyone else was left out, which would mean we're back to being short of a 14 person league. You don't wanna' just sit there waiting (like the last two weeks) for someone to materialize.

Ugh. This put my day in the crapper.

Edit: Donan -- None of that! You've been talking about this for quite awhile, too. That's no better solution.

Alrighty...

Trying this again with 14 people. Please sign up ASAP, same password. PM me if you have any problems. I really want to get this thing started. I'm not a very good dictator, so here we go again. For the sake of my sanity and getting this league going, though, I beg you to please sign up again soon. Let's get everyone in that wants in and get it started sooner this time.

Your a good man DS', if on the road to insanity trying to keep us chick's together (we peck all over the dang yard! *Chuckle*. You must dream of being and ear of corn and we are all pecking at ya ...hmmm, what's this farm stuff going on in my head...I have some concerns, or should anyway, lol.). Oh and one last suggestion (please don't come up here and shoot me DS'), but maybe put in subject header, 'SIGN UP NOW!!!) so folks won't miss the immediacy and last chance aspect of this).

Just for the record. I've rejoined the new league. Hang in there, DS!

Fun and laughter with DCFS!

Guys, sorry to have a whole league restart and the delay that goes with it...many, many thanks, though.

I apologize if I overreacted this morning, but I was just so shocked (and dismayed).

I've already signed up and am ready to go!

No worries. We both have the same goals. To be in a league where we can play each other. I'm just trying to guide us in a direction where that actually takes place. And I have to call audibles sometimes (like going down to 12 people) if I think 14 is never going to happen. Hopefully everyone signs up soon. I really don't want to go through this again.

Ok, I have signed up, left and signed up again several times. I mean, more times than we have resarted even. I just keep re-thinking my team. Sad thing is, I think I am now back to just about what I started with the first time I started up. We need to get cracking, so I can start tweaking my gameplan instead.

So wait, is the League the same name? Oh hell, i'll just search for it and see what I can find. I hope to god the password's the same.

Name and password are the same. Not sure what else to say. Sorry for the inconvenience? I'm trying my best.

Not diggin' on ya dude, I was worried I'd end up missing out. I'm in so hard my ween hurts though.

Well, hopefully now that everyone is in, we can actually get a full league. We seem to be stuck again.
