The league will fill up eventually, with quality GM's there's no need to rush this thing.

Eliasrapp is a funny dude

He can't read simple rules.
Trying to rush things.
Overposting.
Whining.
The other games he quoted his post like 47 times.

Take it easy man.

1. At first there was no discussion board and I didn't see it till today, so I just posted in signups...
2. How am I rushing things? I was the one suggesting that we didn't start the game without 30 people. I'm totally against rushing things...
3. Ooohhh sorry I post so much ON A FORUM WHERE YOU POST THINGS! Who gives as ****. It's not like I'm spamming... I'm posting about the topic at hand.
4. Whining? About what? When have I recently complained about something? In fact, your whining right now...
5. Very specific lol... Everyone was posting that I was (Please Use More Appropriate Word) so I was defending myself, but to you that's "whining" apparently. Get over it. It was a month ago. You're a hypocrite yourself and all YOU do is complain.

Ya I'm itching to get this game goin to but its worth waiting for 30 legit players,think we could hand out teams to the guys that have signed up tho?Then we could post roster's and the last few guys would know which of the last teams they get to pick from.

Agreed. It would be nice to know what my plan will be.

No... it never works out. People start arranging trades before it opens, and it all gets messy (and unfair) on later signups.
There is no consolation prize. Winning is everything.

Forgot to mention, I'm undergoing (minor) surgery tomorrow morning so IF we fill up before then as soon as I regain somewhat normal consciousness and get to a computer I'll announce team assignments.

Good luck man! Don't ball too hard ;)

BTW I think you should actually assign teams when totally high from all the pain meds and see how much complaining happens. lol

25 for me, but I could be wrong. One guy quit incase you didn't count that. Either way we're close.
