BeeR Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) In case people don't see the "sticky" thread up top - I created one to start 9:30 PM PST tonight if anyone is interested. League name "Huddlers" bigred is commish. I have a s/w implementation tonight and it's pretty freakin boring, so give me something to do besides a mock w/boring PC opponents would ya NOTE: you need to register on this site to use it. As I recall it only takes a sec but better safe than sorry - if you're interested, I'd register now. Edited July 2, 2008 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Kind of late for us eastern folks but I'll try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If I'm not annihilated by then I'll try to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 lol Normally too late for me too (I'm Eastern). Hopefully within the next week or 3 we can do one a little earlier.... DMD is a no-show. Guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 I knew it. chicken. One person "showed" but apparently couldn't stay logged on. I did better in this draft than I should've, frankly. Hopefully the weekend or next week - ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Got wrapped up in some family business. I am normally open on most nights but getting many people to participate is always a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Family over FF? ?? np DMD. FA.com "fills in" any open slots w/PC opponents - hardly ideal but that way don't have to have a full complement of drafters FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well the festitivites are over for us ie not going to see fireworks. Anyone up for this tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'd be down tonight. No plans, just recovering from beer and ground beef overload from yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'd be available if we could get up enough people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 What's "enough people" - if you don't have enough, FA.com fills in with computer opponents FYI. Not ideal but still handy cuz you can do a mock any time with any # of people. Anyway I'm 50/50 for tonight but will if I can - probably have to be pretty late, like 10 PM+ EST. Set one up and if I can I'll join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) I've been doing them for the majority of the day on espn.com. It's pretty cool. I like the GUI interface they use for it. Haven't tried FA.com yet. Edited July 5, 2008 by Capt. Stanky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Tried EPSN, thx. The interface is fine, not better or worse than FA.com IMO - but you can't create/tailor your own, ie they're all "canned" mocks and all set up the same exact way. Also instead of showing you your max highest bid like FA.com, it shows total $ left and you figure it out - Edited July 6, 2008 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 OK again thx for the info but have about given up on ESPN's site. Seems like most of the drafters are about 10 yrs old and/or are clueless.....eg they bid ridiculous prices (like $82 for Moss) then if something doesn't go just the way they want, they quit. (Figures that happens on an ESPN site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
