GWJ Madden League 2.0 (XBox 360): Season II Week 2

So Im guessing we are simming this week then? League will roll wednesday unless I hear otherwise

i have not heard anything from stark and i would like to play my game and not have it simmed.

I thought we rolled friday not wednesday? I told him he had to play before then. So mind giving him a chance until then? If he hasnt gotten in touch with me or on here, then boot him for the week and you can play friday...that ok with everyone?

fine by me , but my game probly wont be played till thursday night.

thats fine league rolls friday morning

league rolls tomorrow morning...

zell can you play saturday?

omega...got a call from stark...he said sorry for taking so long, but work is in the way.
Can you play at 10pm eastern tonight?

maybe-depends on when saturday

one sec omega...someone kicked stark...we are trying toget him back in.

alright...so that was pretty late notice...He apologized and said that he can play saturday. If the league doesnt want to wait, then he wants to sim it or worst case, since he took so long, he is willing to drop for the night. I lay the matter at the feet of the club.

I just dont want to sim because you usually get rediculous injurues as spy would know from ladt season. He lost dallas clark for the season just cause he was late joining league by 1 game. But anyways i am on now i can play if he gets back on.

im texting him now...he might have given up the xbox to the kids...

Anything?

nope...do you want to hold off for saturday? or should Ihaida kick him again?

Its the leagues call, i can wait till saturday. Or i can play tonight.

We really have to get the league rotation under control. The game takes an average of 60 minutes. I find it hard to believe that most folks can't look out 4-5 days and find windows in their schedule to play a quick game of Madden. It shouldnt take 7-10 days to get a game in. Also, the forum is supposed to be the coordination method for opponents to schedule the games but we still have folks in the league who haven't posted, not even to schedule. We have guys who try really hard to get their games in (across time zones in other countries) and then we routinely have games that seem to drag out forever. Its a pain in the butt for the players and for the commish. I mean no disrespect to anyone, but the game cycle needs to be established and adhered to. Is it rotate every 4 days, 5 days, 7 days? If one player makes the obvious effort to be available, but his opponent either can't be bothered to post in the forum or Live than he should drop and let the game get played. The Commish can make, break, bend and adjust the rules as he sees fit, but I think just out of courtesy we need to lay some basic rules. I get the occasional reschedule, family crisis, or just plain forgetting but this shouldnt be this hard.

I agree with spy mostly.

Agreed with Spy. One of the reasons I dropped the first time was the slow pace. I'm all for 4-5 days but this one game seems like its never going to happen.

First off I kicked Stark at 6pm est due to not hearing anything from anybody on the status if the game. After I kicked him I immediately sent him an invite to the league in case him and Omega set things up. Now that I see the game still has yet to be played The teams will have until Saturday to play. If it isn't played by 12:01 am Sunday Morning the game will be simmed.

As for the schedule I do try to keep it to a 5 day schedule. I set the Due Date every week and inform those who need extra time to contact me personally. So I will reiterate the new rules:

5 Day schedule to get in Regular Season Games from when the league is rolled. The League Roll Date is the Date the Forum is Created for the Next Week. If there are games yet to be played after the 5 day period those players will have a 24 hour window to get games completed. Now I will make exceptions if both parties are trying to get it together and its just not happening. If you aren't playing a Human opponent there really isn't an excuse why you would be the last player to play (unless like in ALC's case your xbox is dead)

Does anyone have a problem with this rule?

Not at all. I got on at 10:30 last night at which point stark had already rejoined the league and got off again. Other wise i was going to play the computer. What time on saturday should i be expecting you to want to play on saturday stark?

When are we playing today stark?

Stark is on the road until this afternoon...he sent me a msg from Interstate 64 saying that he will be on and waiting at 2200 (10pm) for you.

Ok ill be on then

I-64 is a gigantic pain in the tail sometimes. It was great as we drove to the Smokey mountains yesterday though.
