"Civil War" Theme League

[LMBombers]

I don't think we should be able to trade players that we should not have anyway. I think they should be dropped before or during waivers. To lessen the impact of this we could extend the live draft a few more rounds.

[LARRYLANG]

Coffee, I think that would be a good exception. A prisoner exchange sounds good, in fact I think Bombers brought this subject up earlier..As long as you get rid of your Yank/Rebel vermin after AD and before the season starts prisoner change will be allowed and the war begins..North is full of damn Yankees------lotto on tonite # for the North..High to low..5 round draft beginning tommorow and remember Yanks--these are your teams:

Boston
NYY
NYM
Toronto
Minnesota
Detroit
CWS
Chi Cubs
Cleveland
Seattle
Philadelphia
Cincinatti
Milwaukee
Pittsburg
Washington

I will post div alighnment after the lotto. Hopefully we can find one more southern boy so we can both start tommorow.

If we do a 10 round live draft then I don't think the players we miss in the AD where we end up with enemy players will affect us that much. I will be happy with whatever Pelzer decides for our league however.

How about a comprimise of sorts---I like the prisoner exchange idea, so we go with that but extend the draft to 7 rounds..That would give us all a pretty good start at the teams we are trying to build.. I just think the further the draft goes the harder it will be to sort through the guys who have been drafted and the ones who are available..With a 7 rd draft and 6 teams drafting that will end up being 42 players selected..Alot of sorting..I do like the draft alot better than the AD but want to keep the confusion at a minimum...Is everyone cool with 7 rounds--and we keep prisoner exchange (Trades) after AD and pre-Season for all teams :?:

[LMBombers]

Sounds fine. Where is that last Southern boy? A call to arms for one last Southerner.

Pelzer, There is no rules about team names other than the state your are from. Is that right? I could be the Florida Crackers or the Florida Zoaves or something like that right?

And we must pick a General from our side as our manager name right?

[LARRYLANG]

UH OH Rebs---we may be in trouble.......Counted up the championships for all the managers---------Score: North 57 / South 9.....Ouch!! Need a good Johnny Reb for that last spot..

[LMBombers]

Pelzer are you saying that the North has better troops (player pool) and better Generals? Looks like we will be the underdogs again. :(

[LARRYLANG]

Well Bombers---just like the real thing---The Northern Generals look better on paper but when the war starts they will be outfoxed and outwitted at every turn... :D :wink: I may have found our last general--A couple of guys sent me a PM with interest waning to know how to sign up and I told them to go through all the posts as some rules have changed since the beginning and if interested make a post to join...So the south may be full as well before long. :D
