It looks like there's no way from my viewpoint we can get everyone together at the same time. That would leave a board draft the only alternative. Someone needs to make a final decision if we are going to continue this league.

And FWIW - I'm having Gallbladder surgery Thursday.


I hope you have a speedy and comfortable recovery Jeep!

Ok. I'll make an executive decision. We'll do a board draft. I don't see a good alternative with the managers currently in the league.

It makes sense to wait for Jeep to get better (Good luck big guy!) I think. Jeep, do you have a rough idea of when that might be?

Ditto what Corky and gbrookes said.

And thanks to JTJ for stepping up to the plate.

I should be OK within a few days. It's going to take some time to get everybody on the same page and recruit a new Owner or two. Hopefully Big M will stay but I know he wasn't keen about a board draft.

Yeah, you're right. So I guess we should see who's still IN?

East-
JAMESZIMMER - Out
Jeepdriver - In
bigmahon - Out?
joethejet - IN

Central-
durantjerry - Out I guess, No sign of him.
gbrookes - IN
BigAlric - IN
Semper Gumby - IN

West-
Stoney18 - In I think
nythawk129921 - In I think
ArrylT - In
Corky- In

So, it appears we have to replace Zim and DJ for sure.

I will ping Big M and see what he thinks.

I think Smokey said we wanted to come back. I will ping him again and verify.

So, do you guys have any suggestions for people who will participate on the boards and be a good player for the NLD?

Also, without proxies, do we have some sort of "clock" that we follow? It's been a LONG time since we had to do a board draft.

There are quite a few new, regular players on the boards. Nothing beats a new set of dice to get the game exciting.

Plenty of time to recruit and we're a fairly stable bunch of owners too.

Yeah....we might be better off picking from a select few or maybe throwing out private invites rather than just posting an opening. We might get the guy who just happens to be on the boards that day and isn't really a regular.
