2016 Forum Mock: Announcement/Discussion Thread

[Mt. Crushmore]

If you know a member on the forum that you'd think might be interested, PM them. 

[ludy51]

Italien raven said he could do it if needed. We could promote him from the bench

[ludy51]

Didn't @RaineV1 do this last gear? I dont see him on the sign-up list.

[JO_75]

Should check last year's signup thread to see who did it last year that hasn't signed up yet.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I PM'd a lot of people the other day who participated in previous years or in the DaF game.

[ludy51]

I pretty much have all 32 teams in order from who I want the most, to least so I'm ready whenever

That's big time commitment, great job.

Some of the recent signups were from that, but obviously some no's as well.

Can we just include @Geving now?  He always says he'll join as a replacement if necessary but ends up joining from the start anyways lol.

I think a little longer wait is well worth tho if all participants are really participating constantly this year

It's not that impressive. It's really just most cap space combined with teams with enough room for improvement to make the game fun

I only studied 10 teams lol, If I'm picking outside the top 10 then I'll be in trouble lol. Picking teams has become a mini draft in this game, just hoping the team you want falls to you.

I'd love to participate!

We'd be glad to have you on board, but as a new member of the forum we just want to make sure you know what you are getting into. For this game you really have to be checking in every day for the next couple of months.

I read the rules and understand, it's no problem at all. If I get lost, I will ask for help!

atleast a couple times per day, especially during the early stages of the draft.  We went through 100 picks last year in about a week.  The rest of the draft took another 2.5 to 3 weeks.

This. Then we would only have 2 spots left to fill, plus with things being slowed down why not promote Italian as well spot that way we have only one spot left.

Okay. The other thing then is to try and get above 15 total posts before the game starts. This way, your posts will go right away instead of having to wait for moderator approval.

And there's also an unwritten rule to trade all of your good players and draft picks to rmw10 for minimal return...

 

Joking, of course.  We do that here.

Plenty of Commissioners and Participants that can help you through the process.  It will be seamless in due time and will be as fun as you make it out to be.  A great way to pass the time of the offseason.  Especially from a team that doesn't utilize FA like the team down the road from us.

I remember the days of being below 15 posts.  It actually wasn't that long ago.

You're not joking and you know it.  LOL

[loyalravensfan]

LOL okay let me just make sure I know exactly what I'm getting into because logging on several times a day won't be the problem. I'm assuming this is fantasy football which I have never played but I know how it works because of my friends who play. I just pick who I want on my team right? I have NFL Ticket and watch as many games as possible so I know a lot about a lot of players. I looked through the other threads to make sure my assumption is correct but if it isn't, I will be really embarrassed.

It doesn't matter - most of them will opt for early retirement, anyway.

LMAO!

Down to the final 2 spots! Might be picking teams tomorrow if we get the other two spots filled.

Or get hurt.  My luck in a nutshell.

[ludy51]

Just throw @Italian Raven and @Geving in and we'll be done

[rmw10]

Sign me up. Looks fun!! I haven't played fantasy league ever yet so this should be fun.

I know you're pretty active around here so you should be good for checking in consistently.  It's not necessarily a fantasy league.  We don't play each other or anything.  We essentially just build teams for the fun of it.  More than welcome to join of course, but just wanted to make you aware of what it is in case you had a different idea.

 

I will say, since your ideas may be a bit on the radical side, I'd be really curious to see what you do with whatever team you get.
