Thank you. As long as they’ll attend the draft and not abandon their team halfway through the season, anyone would be great. ---

I have the most wonderiferous news. No, I didn’t find 5 more players. But Yahoo changed the minimum nomination time from 30 seconds to 15. Rejoice. ---

Thanks for trying. I may have to do something like try to recruit on reddit fantasy football forums or something this year. ---

Warm bodies are my favorite kind. Thanks. Hopefully we can get at least 2 more and get up to 18, so this is still the big…ish league. ---

I think you may have PMs turned off, so I sent an invite to the e-mail listed on your account. If you want it on another e-mail PM me or post it here. Welcome aboard. ---

We’ve got 17/20 currently. If we can make one more player, we can have a nice draft (with even numbered teams) and I think 18 would still be big enough to fit with the spirit of the league. So I’ll see what I can do, but if anyone else has anyone to invite, one more would be great. Thanks. ---

If you need me, I should be able to do a draft on Wednesday and won’t just drop off after that. Shoot me an invite. ---

Thanks Hamlet. We’ll be at 18 now. If we get any last minute recruits, however unlikely, they’d have to come in a pair to maintain an even league. Most likely we’ll have to play at 18 this year, which should still be plenty big to give this league its big league flavor. ---

Does anyone happen to want to join the [pick 'em and survival leagues](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=860645)? Not exactly fantasy, but I figured you guys might be interested and hadn’t noticed. ---

Well, shoot. Something has come up that I cannot get out of tomorrow evening. I suspect I won’t get there till at least 9pm eastern. I see we got to 18 teams, so me dropping out is not a good thing at this point. I’ll do what I can to get on as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can draft while driving home. ---

Ah, that sucks. We get this draft going a little earlier than the others because it’s longer, although with the shorter nomination time option on yahoo it’ll probably shave at least a half hour off of it. If we delayed the start until 8:30 is there any chance you could make it soon after? If you can’t attend, I think we could probably drop you and Hamlet. I think Hamlet is here just to be a good dude and fill in a slot if we need it because it’s uneven - if you have to leave then I guess we can draft with 16. ---

It’s up to you, I think 9pm is the likely earliest I could make it, and I can’t promise that. I’d be willing to try to be as competitive as possible coming in late, but I know it does put me at a huge disadvantage. ---

how long will the draft last? last year I could not make it so a team was drafted for me [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-big-league-fantasy-football-2018/818241.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-big-league-fantasy-football-2018/818241.md?page=3)
