No guarantees yet, but I should be able to get off work early enough that Sunday that I can manage it.

Also I clicked the wrong option, so there's that. :doh:

Here is the sign-up thread. Looks like we definitely have 8 thus far, and maybe 9 (or even 10).

We definitely need that even number though.

It's in a weird spot. :P We have this special subforum here for fantasy football, so of course the signup thread is somewhere else.

Ah screw it. I can do that Sunday evening, especially if it works well for pretty much everyone else. I'll just make sure I work early enough that I can actively participate.

I've only had to auto-draft once and it was....not an enjoyable experience on my part lol.

who drafted the best team?
JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Sat Aug 21, 2021 3:24 pm Always good to remember that there is no such thing as a Mafia circumstance that is worth real human emotion. Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

I bet I drafted the worst team.

But apparently I'm going to beat TH cos I'm projected 4-9.

Drafts are for suckers anyway. Free Agency is where it's at.

Some other gems from my draft report...

"Golden's Champions isn't afraid to rob the cradle"
"Golden's Champions should pick up a new hobby, like bird watching"
"We're not mad. We're just disappointed."

It also says I have the most grueling schedule.

I agree. I'm up against Marmot Week 1 who completely auto-drafted and it says I am supposed to lose. I think the ranking system I used will prove to be much more accurate. :nicenod:
