Thank You Chad Pennington
Hey guys, sorry for kind of disappearing there for a bit, things got really crazy at work and such.
I see things have been getting crazy here too. As I pointed out when we started this idea, I figured this would not easily fly, and is now kind of becoming the monster I feared it to be.
My overall opinion is that a chat room has no chance of working. As I can see as of late that idea has kind of been nixed, and I just want to drive that final nail into the coffin.
The list of 20-25 possible players from each participant is the only real way to do as to not, and really prolong this. However, getting the lists from everyone, along with the amount of work/coordination accompanied with the mods for it would be astronomical.
So with this said there are basically 3 options.
1) Continue as is, fill up spots we want to, and try to at least get a round in just to see how it works. I personally never had the view that it would make it any longer then that.
2) Employ the "pick list" idea and have a few people do a ton of work. Fish-head sent me a message which explained this option very nicely. I personally am not sure if the effort is worth the payoff.
3) Scrap the idea altogether. While this is technically an interesting experiment, its nothing you could not do with a bunch of people online with a Madden Fantasy draft. While the CPU in Madden also does a decent job of ranking/selecting players.
While I would definately be in to submit my list of player I would select, I believe I would have to bow out of being a type of MOD.
As I said I think this has gotten a bit to big for my current commitments right now. I personally am flattered that this wacky idea I had, as sprung so much interest. I thank you all for the input/suggestions/volunteered help. Special thanks to Fish-head, Bahama Fins Fan, Mizfit for really giving them it all and trying to make it work. I know I am the original poster but I have to step down and relenquish all power/decision making to them. I will pop in to comment and suggest things, and am defiantely still up for participating, I personally just can't give this baby the time it deserves.
Again thanks for the support with this.
