NLD 31 - That New Site Smell

Hey Geoff,

Great. Thanks for the interest. Welcome!

We should be getting started soon. Ideally before Semper disappears.

Joe, can you dig up the divisions / draft order?

I can set up the draft tomorrow.

I can dig it up.

I'm totally against keepers. There's enough to think about w/o that complication. I like that there can be a lot of changes from NLD to NLD. Having keepers locks guys into players and team types and doesn't let me draft the best player available when my team finishes last.

Honestly, I probably would not continue if we did keepers.

Geoff, Welcome. You don't know what you're getting yourself into!

Ok, done. I put it on the first post so that it will be easy to find.

I'm not sure we ever voted on 80 v 100 cap did we?

Pinged AT to check in.

80 versus 100

Semper Gumby -
Stoney18 -

joethejet - 80, but would go 100 to break a tie.

Thanks Joe. Let's forget the keepers then. Can't lose you!

Pretty sure this will be our second go with the 2011 cards, so that means 100m is a given.

OK guys, a few things.

First, the Diamond Dope draft was always slow, but it is now impossibly slow. At the present rate it will take me over an hour to set up the draft. Just checking that we have the collective patience for another Diamond Dope draft.

If we do, the we need Geoff to set up an account on the Diamond Dope site. Geoff, a link to the site is below:

http://www.diamonddope.com/draft.cfm

I have no interest in battling that impossibly slow site every day. Frankly, I have lost interest in this season. I will play if yall decide to do so, but I'm sure my interest will be peaked more when the '12 cards come out.

I can suffer through DD but I'm in an office and have availability.

I am going to be in Vegas the 12th-16th celebrating the big 50 and will not be taking a laptop so I will have no access for those days.

Ok, if we don't use DD what other options do we have? There are no proxies if we just post the draft here. Would that be preferable? It will be hard to have a clock w/o proxies.

I can deal with DD also, but I'm sensitive to those that can't.

Sounds like we'll need to give Stoney a pass for those five days once his proxies run out.

I am game for whatever the majority will decide.

Sorry. I will check in here regularly now. I am registered on diamond dope. My account is GBrookes.
