I can’t make Wed 10:30pm.
Earlier draft is perfect for me 715 PM EST on a Wednesday!
Not sure if the rest of the league can manage that, but I’ll have to get another round of answers. Can you guys do Wednesday at 7:15? If not, we’ll stick to the original draft date, but this allows Jules to return to us and presents no complications for dale.
I’m OK with 7:15 on Wednesday.
I should be good for any of the times.
Any time on Wednesday works for me
7:15 Wed is good for me.
Confirmed for Wednesday at 7:15 eastern. SenorBeef, Ellis Dee, Jules Andre, Omniscient, It’s Not Rocket Surgery, dalej42, Varlos.
Working on confirming with MTRG, Chuck, DragonAsh, d_odds, and Hamlet.
One veto would prevent the change since at that point we’d be dumping one person to accomodate another - no net benefit. I’m guessing it would be a burden for DragonAsh because it would be very early in the morning there. But I’ll try to get ahold of them.
7:15p EDT should be good for me.
7:15 is fine with me
I should be good to go then.
Does kinda suck for me time-zone wise, but I’ll live - count me in!
After I asked about times on Wednesday, MTRG posted
That seems to mean he could do either time on Wednesday. So I’ll change it.
Oddly, a few times opened up on Wednesday that weren’t there before - 10pm eastern, and 7:30 and 7:45. I went ahead and set it to 7:30 Eastern on Wednesday the 29th. I’ll tell Jules, once he signs up we’ll be full.
I had signed up right as you were typing that, apparently.
Thanks to everyone for being so flexible so I could join the league. I appreciate that. Special thanks to DragonAsh, because of the time zone difference.
Alright, well we’re set with all 12 returning from last year. Great. Any proposals or rule changes to consider?
I have a standing offer to anyone in the league to trade $5 of draft funds for $6. I know it seems like you’d be giving up a little bit more, but $5 has looked really good in camp so far and $6 is coming off that injury from last year.
I’m going to post this to all my leagues.
In our very first draft in the auction league, we ended up running the auction in voice chat like an actual auction. That was before yahoo had auction drafts. Anyway, we don’t actually have to hold the draft that way anymore of course, but it was kind of cool to have everyone in the same place able to chat about the draft as it went, it was pretty fun.
I used to only run a free ventrilo server which has a max of 8 people, so I never thought about using it again, but now we run a 15 man SDMB server, so we could fit everyone in there. So I was thinking it would be fun if we all hopped on to voice chat during the draft.
If there’s interest, closer to the draft I’ll post the server information and help anyone who needs to set it up. We’d be using ventrilo which is free. It’d be cool if everyone had a headset (or webcam mic or whatever) to talk, but even if you don’t, you could still log in and listen to the rest of us and respond in the text chat of the draft app.
Anyway, just an idea to float up there. I think it’d be fun.
I agree it sounds fun so I’m in, I’ll be there. Didn’t we do that in the Super league last season? It really does make the experience more fun.
Apologies, but I have to drop out of this league. Commish can boot me.
I’m going to be short on time for a while, so I’m going to have a hard time doing much in the way of recruiting. If you know someone reliable that would be able to make the draft and would be interested in the league, see if you can recruit them.
