It might be helpful if we could add BS usernames to this list of potential Dust participants. Here's where we seem to be so far. I guess if the 8 listed teams are all "in," then Huck and I can either try to start a new division or just wait till next year. Dust: 1. 352 Sizzle (Relegated from Sand) 2. Wewunwunce (Relegated from Sand) 3. Central Park Rangers- confirmed 4. Keysersoze Wanderers 5. Tyrant FC 6. Smash ya out da park- under internal review 7. Awesonal 8. Jimellow New Teams: Yellowcake Phantoms- DoctorJones24 Unnamed Squad - Huck3
Tyrant FC announced that he wouldn't be taking part this year in the All Rocks Organizing thread. Plus I think either Keysersoze or Outta the Park might be joining Sand in a venture with another manager. That is two already so you guys may still get in Doc. If you want to set up another league you will need 4 more to sign up. Good luck btw guys I will try and help you out here.
Oh and the BS names: Central Park Rangers - lolshorts Keysersoze Wanderers - Hally Tyrant FC - Thezzaruzz Smash ya out da park - Mal
Hally is coming back, I will tell him to pull his head out of his bum and say so. Smash ya is the one negotiating with ACTig over the viability of the joint venture. I would guess it will be joint venture or both out , so either way at least one spot will be open. Also at the top of Dust, there are issues about 352 Sizzle and wewunwunce also I think, so another couple may open there?
Dust: Current Lineup 1. 352 Sizzle - johno - not confirmed 2. Wewunwunce - Iain - not confirmed 3. Central Park Rangers - lolshorts - confirmed 4. Keysersoze Wanderers - Hally - confirmed 5. Smash ya out da park - Mal (potentially leaving to Sand to run a joint team) 6. Awesonal - confirmed 7. Jimellow - confirmed 8. Yellowcake Phantoms - DoctorJones24 - confirmed Next Alternates SSC Snoopy - huck3 The three bolded red lines are a bit worrying. We've got only one alternate with possibly 3 vacancies, so we might need to recruit. I've sent PMs to johno and Iain to check in.
I had mentioned the league to a friend that follows the EPL, and at the time he seemed interested. I've been in fantasy leagues in other sports with him for years, and he's consistently active and competitive. I haven't heard back from him yet, but if we still need an owner, I will get in touch and see if the interest remains.
After checking the other threads, it seems like Iain was active all year in Sand, and it was an error that he was ever in review. Also I think johno has been in the various leagues for a long time, so hopefully he's sticking around. We could still lose 2 more even if those guys are back, though. If Mal and AC Tig (a Sand manager) both drop out, then we'd lose both Mal AND lolshorts, who'd be promoted to Sand to take AC Tig's place. So it looks very likely huck3 gets in, and I'd bet we'll need at least one more.
Yeah. If I'm honest, I was only active for a portion of the season last year. I was one of the original guys in the league and I'm interested again, but I started a new job where my access to certain websites gets blocked and I work an average of 11 hours a day (tag on 3 more for commute)... so it can be hectic. I'll be here if y'all will have me though.
Righto, Mal (Smash ya) is officially out and will be assistant coaching AC TIG. Johno sounds ready to go, and having played in his league a while ago I think he will give it a go. So if Huck joins and Iain is still keen sounds like you got yourselves a League
So then this is Dust for 2013/2014 as it stands: 1.352 Sizzle - johno - confirmed 2. Wewunwunce - Iain - not confirmed 3. Central Park Rangers - lolshorts - confirmed 4. Keysersoze Wanderers - Hally - confirmed 5. Awesonal - confirmed 6. Jimmellow -confirmed 7. Yellowcake Phantoms - DoctorJones24 - confirmed[ 8. SSC Snoopy - huck3 - confirmed
Iain is my work colleague. I have asked him if he wants to return. He was active both with team selection and transfers throughout all of last season although not so active on BS. I'll ask him to get something definitive posted on this thread (either yea or nea) within the next 24hrs.
I've just spoken to Iain about the above and he has confirmed to me that he will 100% be participating again in this forthcoming season. So it looks like you're all good to go.
Is it possible to join the league with the provided code without filling a roster of players? If no, do you just make a team for the sake of joining, which will be totally removed/changed after the draft?
Yes you must make a team that will be completely changed after the draft. Therefore, shove Bale, RVP, Aguero, Mata and Cazorla all in there and hope you can draft them, not likely!
Is Hally's username hally0301? I've sent everyone besides hally the league code. Just populate your team with any scrubs you want for now. Anyone good with Google Docs want to set up a page?
I have last years Dust page I can do for you. Not as fancy as Blech's but gets the job done. I need everyone's emails so I can add you as an " editor" . I will post link on here once done. And Hally is simply Hally on BS as far as I know...but will check in with him as to why is taking this long. So unlike him.....insert 75 rolls eyes emoticons here!
OK Draft Sheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqtRlJ7fu_19dDV0Qkp4UEJwV05KckljYlZzU0hhanc#gid=0 All of you should now be able to access and edit.... except for Huck 3 & Jimellow as I do not have these google docs email address. So can these 2 guys send me your email address by Private Message.... it has to be an email address that you have registered for Google Docs with... Once Player List is finalised I will make that "Sheet 2 " of the same document. If you would rather the Player List as a separate document let me know.
Fair enough... give it a go changing it on the Draft sheet.. good trial run to see if you can access it...
I sense a fighting spirit and hope to see a gradual rise (along with DoctorJones) back to the top; where the Founding Fathers belong!
