ExtremeSkins FF Dynasty League

[Forehead]

Not sure what you're talking about Drop, you dick eater. I logged on a day or two ago and looked. I was disappointed that my team was missing AJ Green and RG3.

TDR, Pho, Fancy, and B&G have not responded to the invite and gotten on MFL yet. CCFF and 28 must be queering off somewhere because neither of them have even given me there email address yet.

Go through your emails, find the invite, sign up for MFL, get on the site so i don't have to send invites out again when they've become "lost".

And after you've gotten on MFL, take some time and go to mghelmets.com and pick a helmet for your team. Set that as your icon and logo like i did my team. Remember, city/mascot for our team names now. Seems everyone who's been around liked the idea so we're rolling with it. Let's get on it and get our new league page straight gentleman.

And if anyone has any questions about MFL, don't hesitate to ask. If you can't figure out how to set your helmet as your icon or anything like that, just holler bitches.

Sorry I was getting a major case of information overload when I first got on the site but it seems like I've figured out some of it. First of many questions I'm sure, why does the league standings have my record at 2-12 this year?

You might have clicked the link to the league page and checked out the site, but you haven't accepted the invitation i sent you in your email. You have to login as your franchise...create a password and all that jazzy stuff.

And i'm working on getting everyone's rosters straight right now. Only one i've got done so far is Riggo's. It's a bit time consuming since our entire rosters didn't import for whatever reason, but i'll get it done. Everyone's rosters will be correct soon. Plus i've cleaned the site up a lil...the three images we have for our divisions likely won't stay, but i made them a little more uniform for now. I also made the helmets a nice size.

Like seeing b&g and Matt's new helmets. b&g just gotta get that team name straight now.

I have no idea why our records are out of whack...it's just something that happened when i imported our league from Flea Flicker. The software that MFL has for importing a league from Flea Flicker is still in it's beta stages...so just ignore what the team records say for now. If you search the history of the league that i've updated, you'll see all the important stuff like your two championship appearances. I know you were concerned about losing that. And if there's anything else I can help you with as far as MFL goes, let me know.

Also, our league finances will be run through leaguesafe.com. so eventually i'll be emailing info on that as well.

The renaming was more of a penalty for sucking as opposed to incentive to win. You could say its an incentive not be worst in the division, and if pressed, you could say its an incentive to not tank. Money does nothing for that. I still like the trash time series idea where the division games at end of year determine division incentives, such as naming rights. If people really wanted to address issue, we could make rules to outlaw any type of tanking, but that becomes hard in money league, because retroactive changes are taboo.

How does money do nothing for tanking? If money is on the line, I'm gonna do everything in my power to win

Glad we're using Leaguesafe, that's what I use for my other money league and am completely satisfied with it.

I'm assuming that people with winning records won't tank. Money rewards the winners, but doesn't incentivize the owners who tune out late in the season when their chance at the money is long gone.

[Drop]

ok but it's a dynasty league, so you're not playing year after year to tank and get the #1 pick there's no winnings in that. I don't think tanking is going to be an issue in this league. After all the discussion we already had about it, i'm pretty sure it won't be a problem. If it is and we notice it, we deal with it. Start taking away high draft picks from teams who are supposedly "tanking", and it'll stop real quick in a money league.

I don't see any owners here who are going to throw their hands up and quit on their team it's bad for a few years. I'm interested to see what a team like Riggo's is going to look like because he's been very selective making his moves. He's quietly collected a handful of decent young pieces...and his team is starting to take it's own identity from the one he inherited.


Other stuff:

CCFF, got your email address, sent your invite. Thanks.

CCFF, TDR and Riggo need to accept their MFL invite, get logged on, find a helmet you guys like, and find an appropriate city/mascot combo for your team name. And spend a lil time exploring with MFL when you get on if you're unfamiliar with it. It can be a bit overwhelming at first. Not trying to sound like a broken record fellas but the quicker this stuff gets done, the easier it will be for me to continue moving forward on my end with MFL. I want to have ALL league information in place when we roll over to the 2013 season.

I almost have all of our rosters correct. I think i have like four more teams to do and then our rosters will be good. I have our PS/IR set up same as fleaflicker. 5 Taxi squad spots for our Practice Squad, and 3 injured reserve spots.

Oh and I like the team name and helmet Pho...nice.

Everyone's roster should be good..take a look and see if there's anything wrong with yours when you get a chance.

[Drop]

oops double post

[MattFancy]

it would be sweet if we all used our hs helmets, but its tough since not every hs is on there. or we could use college too?

[GOSKN5]

Im getting on tonight to set team name and helmet etc... thanks for working on it all drop...

[Drop]

my high school's helmet is lame...but everyone else should feel free.

and no prob GO...i've been working a lot at it. Some of the scoring isn't matching up with Flea Flicker's but i'm almost positive i have our custom scoring set correctly. I think it's probably same situation as the records...just some wonky stuff going on during the import. Also i have to get used to the differences between FleaFlicker and MFL's commish controls. MFL is a WHOOOOOLE other ball game buddy. Much more in depth and customizable than flea flicker was.

And Pho...unless you have a problem with it, i'm going to give Shaun co-commish duties. He's more familiar with MFL, and is already in the league government in another MFL league we share, so his insight will probably come in handy at some point. Not that you weren't doing a bang up job...i just think his experience with MFL will be useful. If i can find a way to set you both as co-commishes I will. But for right now i need someone who's more familiar with our new site.

I'll say this one more time only because I think you're missing my point, not because I'm trying to change your mind.

It's completely natural for an owner to lose interest, and unintentionally tank at the end of the season. I don't think you can say that people in this league are immune to this. I believe there should be an incentive for people to continue trying when out of the money.

[Forehead]

I'm fine with giving Conn the title, I wasn't doing much with it anyway. However, I will insist upon not being beholden to him since being in the Hall of Fame of past commissioners outranks being a current one. He still has to do what I say.

And yeah, I like my new name and helmet. There's a double meaning or two in there.

Understood...but are we really worried about that in this league after our last go around with the issue? I'm not personally. I don't see the need for incentive when there isn't a problem to be concerned about.

I honestly think after one year of being a money league, it won't even be an issue worth discussing. When you have earnings for division championships and 2nd place, along with the champion...there's more incentive to be better. And is having your team name changed REALLY going to make anyone get any better? I honestly don't think so. It is odd that the three teams who had their names changed made the playoffs...but i don't think our names being changed was the reason we made the turn around....it would be silly to say that. It's more likely that we already have a very close, competetive league, and it only took a few tweaks for Pho, TDR, and myself to seperate ourselves in our divisions.

And Conn, i agree...you're still Pho's *****.
