FF 2017 - new commish needed

[Ben Kenobi]

Hi JR,

Check your PMs.

[Ben Kenobi]

*sigh* 800 messages. 400 message limit. No idea what happened there.

[Ben Kenobi]

Um. Previously deleted stuff that I thought was gone forever is back again. Yay!

Gosh. Arguments with Shi Huangdi over apostolic succession. PMs from Lafayette and the Gits.

[-Jrabbit]

OK, I've updated the league roster to reflect actual participation this year. We currently have 7 teams.

We need at least 8. Ten would be better.

Anyone have a candidate? We need to move quickly on this.

[Berzerker]

Flatlander posted at speakeasy his team got deleted somehow, re-invite him and that gives us 8

I'd like to get 10 too

I posted last call at cfc

[Ben Kenobi]

Ok, great to hear that Flatlander has stepped up.

Good luck guys!

[-Jrabbit]

My bad - deleted him along with Greadius this afternoon.

Fresh invite sent.

[-Jrabbit]

OK, Flatlander Fox is back in. Huzzah!

[Ming]

Great news... I also received the invite and I'm in as well. Just waiting for Rah to respond to the invite.
At least it's now 10 people.

[rah]

IN

[-Jrabbit]

And then there were 10. Welcome!

I'll put together the draft thread later today (I've got some work to do in the first.)

In the meantime, let's set the draft order. I've got a seed list of our 10 teams listed in order. Now we need someone to post a randomized list of the numbers 1-10 to determine draft order. I recommend the sequence generator at www.random.org. Guaranteed random.

I've sent the seed list to Cold Wizard and SlowwHand for verification.

[-Jrabbit]

BTW, we've lost one player from our slow draft IDP league at FFZ. Settings very similar to this league.

Anyone interested?

[Ming]

Here you go Jr...

Random Sequence Generator

Here is your sequence:
3 1 6 8 5 10 7 2 4 9
Timestamp: 2017-08-18 14:59:28 UTC

[-Jrabbit]

Cool. Here's the seed list:

-Jrabbit
SlowwHand
Berzerker
Ming
Spaced Cowboy
ColdWizard
BirraImperial
rah
Mguth
Flatlander Fox

...which we paste onto the random sequence of:

3
1
6
8
5
10
7
2
4
9

...like this:

3 -Jrabbit
1 SlowwHand
6 Berzerker
8 Ming
5 Spaced Cowboy
10 ColdWizard
7 BirraImperial
2 rah
4 Mguth
9 Flatlander Fox

Putting that list in numerical order creates the draft order:

1 SlowwHand
2 rah
3 -Jrabbit
4 Mguth
5 Spaced Cowboy
6 Berzerker
7 BirraImperial
8 Ming
9 Flatlander Fox
10 ColdWizard

That's 2 straight years for Slowwy at #1 overall. Now, please wait while I post the actual draft thread.

[-Jrabbit]

Some quick notes:

1. Flatlander Fox needs his Poly password reset. Can a mod please handle and send the info to his Yahoo email, please?
2. FF is on vacation in Italy until Monday.
3. Mguth has been shut out of Poly by his work server, which deems Apolyton a "gaming" site. Imagine that! His picks will be done via text and/or emails with me and Spaced.
4. Draft thread is up. Sloww, feel free to start anytime.

5. Good luck all!
