Yeah, it doesn't make a difference to me one way or the other. I was just pointing out that the draft forum moves from being a subforum as soon as the draft passes. This will be ongoing well past that.

True. If it were up to me the draft forum would always be visible, it's an ongoing process.

Truth brother. It's not like the teams scouting departments take 8-9 months off.

The Tucson Tittie Twisters select: Calvin Johnson, WR

1. Fort Wayne Dancers - Peyton Manning, QB
2. Philadelphia Battery Tossers - Matt Ryan, QB
3. Honolulu Hulas - Adrian Peterson, RB
4. Los Angeles Purple Cobras - Chris Johnson, RB
5. KC Kings - Tom Brady, QB
6. San Antonio Scorpions - M. Turner, RB
7. St. Louis Stallions - Joe Thomas, LT
8. Burlington Blue Barracudas - Larry Fitzgerald, WR
9. Banned guy
10. Cleveland Steamers - Drew Brees, QB
11. Tucson Tittie Twisters - Calvin Johnson, WR

kfletch007 doesn't have his PMs turned on. So I sent him an e-mail.

How about moving it to casino planet with the other fantasy games???

Maybe after the draft. It is just easier to follow on the front. edit: Actually, casino planet isn't showing up for me since I usually visit the planet in work mode.....

33 players.

I'm assuming thats 11 offensive and 11 defensive along with 11 bench players.

Does it matter how we do the offensive and defensive players? Like for instance.....having 3 WRs and no TE or 2 WRs and 1 TE? Or 3 DL and 4 LB? 4 DL and 3 LB?

Nope. Just recognize that if you can't fill a starting lineup you'll have scrubs in there for part of the season. You need to have enough depth that you can cover injuries.

And you'll just need to let people know what type of formation you're using. You want to go run and shoot, go run and shoot. 3-4, 4-3, whatever. People will judge you on it, though, when the voting happens at the end.

It's actually taken down from the top of the lounge during the offseason. You can still get to it under the "forums" drop-down up top, or through the main forum listing.

After talking to Rain Man, I'll try and assign a dedicated thread prefix for this game. That way, you can easily find it using the pulldown at the bottom-left of the Lounge. I might add a quick link to one of the menus as well, depending on how motivated I am.

Just a thought.....

In the original thread starter....can you get rid of the possible cities for teams and put the draft up there. That way it's easier to keep up with who got picked and who's up next?

For archive purposes, here are the cities:

Lemme climb up here where I can yell better.

HEY! KFLETCH! IT'S YORE'N'S TURN.

kfletch only has one post and hasn't been seen in over a week, so I'm going to call a passover. If he shows back up he'll jump in whenever he arrives. I've pm'ed SCChief to make the next selection.

Beach replied that his computer has messed up on him, so he will not be able to participate at this time. Let me figure out who is next.

PM sent to Doomy3.

Cool. Thanks, and too bad for beach tribe.

If anyone else wants to play, you can easily jump in at the end of the round. We can use more players.

Did I miss my pick? Got a brand new CPU at work. Oh yeah.

Oh, sorry. I was PM'd that it was my pick, but it does look like you got missed. There was some confusion. I would say go ahead and pick now, and then we go back to the order posted after you pick.

Yeah, I sent a PM that said I wouldn'y be able to participate, because I thought it would have moved too far by now, but The Memphis Malt liquor choose...........................Matt Cassel QB KC Chiefs.



Don't Laugh.

Yay! (Clap clap clap) Beach tribe is back in!

You'll resume your rightful spot from here on out. We had heard you were dead, so we moved on.

Hootie's up.

Las Vegas Red Lights select Philip Rivers.

PM sent to Burger.

Dang. I was hoping Rivers would last to my pick.

I was trying to decide between Rivers and Roethlisberger at my pick

eh, don't want to give it away

someone's going to get a steal

I was going to take one of those two, but alas...

this Burger guy is a rookie that can't accept PM's, but I posted something on his visitor wall.

Hmm. He hasn't been on the site in two weeks.

Let's move on with jwazzie, and burger, if you show up, just jump in and draft whenever you arrive.

I sent a pm to jwazzie.

Allright, better late than never, right? Right? .....

I'll be the Atlantic City Hitmen

Excellent! Hitmen are in at the end of the first round.

14. St. Louis Commodes - Andre Johnson, WR
15. Bradenton Super-Manatees - Demarcus Ware, OLB

I wish the drafturbators would have joined this.

I like the pick Rain man. I was hoping by some miracle everyone would continue to focus on offense, and I'd be able to grab him at the bottom of round 2.

A couple QB's I'm surprised to still see out there.

POSITIONAL VALUE

I was really hoping we could fill 32 teams, but sadly that was not our destiny. I suspect that we may have some expansion teams in the future, though.

And yeah, you would've thought the draftnik folks would've been into something like this.

I need a QB, but would've been depressed at using a first-rounder to get the sixth-best guy. I would've nabbed Roethlisberger or Rivers if they'd slipped, but they didn't.

Martyball, here I come.

I'm in a Madden Sim League on another board that has been going on for about three years, maybe four...it's pretty awesome. We used to have 32 teams...but it's down to about 20 active guys, some controlling two teams...55 man rosters, rookie draft every year...the league died a little bit when EA didn't release Madden for the PC last year (export files), but one of the guys does screencaps and sims on his 360...I suppose I could have simmed the games on mine, but it died last week.

Can I pick?

If I can, I want Middle Linebacker Patrick Willis.

This should be a snake draft. We should also get a seperate forum, easier to keep organized.

I agree, this should definitely be a snake draft. That's what it is right Rain Man?

So, this is now the draft board:

1. Fort Wayne Dancers - Peyton Manning, QB
2. Philadelphia Battery Tossers - Matt Ryan, QB
3. Honolulu Hulas - Adrian Peterson, RB
4. Los Angeles Purple Cobras - Chris Johnson, RB
5. KC Kings - Tom Brady, QB
6. San Antonio Scorpions - Michael Turner, RB
7. St. Louis Stallions - Joe Thomas, LT
8. Burlington Blue Barracudas - Larry Fitzgerald, WR
9. Banned guy
10. Cleveland Steamers - Drew Brees, QB
11. Tucson Tittie Twisters - Calvin Johnson, WR
12. Greenville Marauders - DeAngelo Williams, RB
13. Memphis Malt Liquors - Matt Cassel, QB
14. Chattanooga Choo Choos - Ben Roethlistberger, QB
15. St. Louis Commodes - Andre Johnson, WR
16. Bradenton Super-Manatees - Demarcus Ware, OLB
17. Knoxville Kiffins - Patrick Willis, ILB

Yeah, definitely a snake.

Burger, we'll just move you in the draft order so as not to penalize you. Sorry if I jumped you too soon, but it looked like you hadn't been around.

See updated draft order in the thread header, everyone.

So it looks like Big Papa is up now. I'll ping him.

GO GREENVILLE!

are we still doing this?

Yep, we just stalled a little on big_papa's pick. He's posted since signing up, but I'm not seeing him.

big_papa, we're moving on. Once you arrive, you can make two picks as soon as you show up.

Bowser is working an alternate schedule, so he gave me his next two picks.

1. Fort Wayne Dancers - Peyton Manning, QB
2. Philadelphia Battery Tossers - Matt Ryan, QB
3. Honolulu Hulas - Adrian Peterson, RB
4. Los Angeles Purple Cobras - Chris Johnson, RB
5. KC Kings - Tom Brady, QB
6. San Antonio Scorpions - Michael Turner, RB
7. St. Louis Stallions - Joe Thomas, LT
8. Burlington Blue Barracudas - Larry Fitzgerald, WR
9. Banned guy
10. Cleveland Steamers - Drew Brees, QB
11. Tucson Tittie Twisters - Calvin Johnson, WR
12. Greenville Marauders - DeAngelo Williams, RB
13. Memphis Malt Liquor - Matt Cassel, QB
14. Chattanooga Choo Choos - Ben Roethlistberger, QB
15. St. Louis Commodes - Andre Johnson, WR
16. Bradenton Super-Manatees - Demarcus Ware, OLB
17. Knoxville Kiffins - Patrick Willis, ILB
18. Washington DC Comics - Will Pick When He Arrives
19. Atlantic City Hitmen - Tony Romo, QB

Round 2
19. Atlantic City Hitmen - Brian Westbrook, RB
18. Washington DC Comics - Will Pick When He Arrives

Burger, are you around?

Did anyone get an e-mail for Burger since we can't PM him?

Not being nit pickety. No big Deal, but my team is the Memphis Malt Liquor. Singular.

Great. Now we're going to have to put all of the Malt Liquors t-shirts and Christmas ornaments on the clearance rack.

lol good one rain man

Burger, you're up.

Burger to the Customer Service desk. Paging Burger.

I PM'd him over at nfldc when I realized it was his pick, I'll do it again.

Awesome. Thanks.

Okay, new rules on timing.

1. As before, when you make your pick, PM the person picking after you to let you know it's your turn. The post that you've made that contact.

2. If a pick is not made within 48 hours, the person following them will record that person's pick as "Will make pick when arrives", and the draft will proceed, skipping that person.

3. If you show up and see that your pick has been skipped as part of Step 2, then you can jump in and make your picks immediately.

I'm just recognizing that we have 33 rounds, so we need to keep moving.

I'll be taking Aaron Rodgers

1. Fort Wayne Dancers - Peyton Manning, QB
2. Philadelphia Battery Tossers - Matt Ryan, QB
3. Honolulu Hulas - Adrian Peterson, RB
4. Los Angeles Purple Cobras - Chris Johnson, RB

Way to take my pick Rain Man!

You'll still get to see him on the highlight films. On top of your quarterback.

Wait a minute. Are you in? Did you change your name?

Jwazzie is up.

Hey Rain Man...

Just curious.

Once the rosters are full, what direction do you plan on taking this game? I think it is a very fun and interesting idea.

Summary of Round 1.

8 QBs were taken.
4 RBs were taken.
3 WRs were taken.
1 LT was taken.
1 OLB was taken.
1 ILB was taken.

We'll do a rookie draft, and then wait until the end of the season and have a vote (of all Chiefsplanet members) about who ended up with the best team.

That last part is a bit subjective, but I don't see a better way to do it.

My goal is to keep it going for years. To that end, I want to keep it low-impact.

St. Louis Commodes select Matt Forte, RB

Hootie is on the clock.

Las Vegas Red Lights select, Jared Allen.

Beach tribe is up.

Already sent him a PM...

I hate you for making this serpentine.

Ok we are at a standstill now

Yeah, beach tribe has tomorrow 'til 8:53, or otherwise we move to the next person and he can catch up when he arrives. We'll keep 'er movin'.
