He lives out West, so generally he's not able to play too early in the evening if he has work.
Mailman and I have been in touch...I'm in the second of back-to-back-to-back 15-16 hour work days and the soonest I can play is tomorrow @ 10:15 est...I'm awaiting a response about his availability at that time
So it looks like Chargers-Texans is the only game not being played tonight. Obviously if you guys can find any way to play that sooner, it would be great. If you can't, you can't though.
Informal poll: How would everyone feel about speeding up our advancement schedule going forward? For example, advancing every 2 or 2.5 days instead of 3+ as we've been doing.
I'm not committing us to anything, just curious what the general league opinions would be.
[quote name='bvharris']I'm less and less convinced he's headed there.[/QUOTE]
Apparently, a popular theory if he goes to Denver is that they'd trade Tebow for Gabbert in Jacksonville if the Broncos land Manning. Personally, I'd rather have Tebow, but can anybody handle the Peyton/Tebow circus?

For a second I interpreted that as "I'd rather have Tebow than Manning" and I almost exploded.

im all for it i just worry it may put too much pressure on people and may cause people to drop out. we were pretty dam good last year i thought, i donno how long an average season takes but that one took less that two months. it seems as thouugh with winter coming to an end a lot of peoples schedules are getting busier too. i know mine is.
I like 2-3 days, but games will definately be getting simmed, it may cause a loss of interest in some, but a bigger population may lose interest if we move slowly through season 4.
still no word back from zurezo bout tonight, just sent him another email. bv im thinkin if i dont hear back from him by like 830, right around when he gets out of work, we should jus find a sub.
yea i donno bout speeding up advancement, but this week seems way too long, especially for week 1.
my bad. just realized were not advancing till tomrow neway

We started in early September, so we're averaging pretty much exactly two months per season.

so theoretically thered probably be one more season after this one, then we would have like a month n a half before m13. if we did speed up we could get a full 6 seasons played. donno if itd be worth it tho to risk losing players for another season. not like weve had ne trouble finding replacements though.

That's roughly the plan. I'm a little surprised (pleasantly so, obviously) that more people didn't drop out between 3 and 4, that's when we saw the most attrition last year.

There could b many diff reasons for that. Although i wasn't in the league last year, I think its cuz this madden is a lot better than last years.
i'm pro 2-2.5 day advancing. we're at a solid 3 now and the majority of the time we wait that extra day just for 1 or 2 games tops. really not too much of a stretch for us to pull it off.
and we can make exceptions if there's a holiday or a handful of games holding us up.
[quote name='Og whitewidow']BV were you the commissioner for madden 11?[/QUOTE]
No, uber did most of the heavy lifting himself last year. I ended up running the 2nd league and helped out here and there with the main league, pitching in much the same way guys like fero/doom/MA do now.
I think (or hope at least, lol) uber would agree it's a much easier job with two of us sharing the load.

Yeah, my feeling is I'd rather be on a tighter schedule but more open to being a bit flexible than always waiting for 1 or 2 games when most of the league has played before the deadline.
Though it's also worth noting that games always get played more quickly at the start of the season, so we should probably give it a couple weeks to see if we keep up the pace.
well guyes i leave tommrow unti lthe 28th. going to miss all the fun. was really hoping i could get my week 2 game in before going but not luck it will look like. LV and Kaster have fun try not to get my guys hurt lol esp Gabbert, Marshall, Rice.
Also not sure if i will get the chance to be around next year for madden 13. i found out today i deploy again in Septemeber but its only suppose to be a 3 or 5 week deployment to help shut down a certain part of afganistan. but i know the army so it will prolyl be longer than that. but im hoping when i get back theres a chance a team will be open so if the deployment is a for sure thing i would like the number one spot on the list for a guy that gets a team next.
well see u guys in 2 weeks. hope kaster and LV play better with the jags than i do haha give me a chance to get a playoff loss
