Ditto. I'm honored. How about a no-name, 3rd string QB Squeeze?

I was going to PM you to tell you I didn't want to do FFTOC.
But I am ready and willing to do whichever contest you choose.

diesel wanted the FFTOC I think
I don't know how many others do though. It'll get figured out but if Tick wants to avoid tough decisions, maybe we'll need to roll dice or something. Looking forward to the competition.

Guys, I have no access while at work, and we're on 11-hour days right now, plus I've got a family. I'll definitely be active each night, but don't start to wonder if I'm dead if nobody hears from me during the day.
I've PMd the people I didn't have preferences for on the competitions.
Dodds said he'd like to do either the draft or auction late next week, and the other one the following week. FFTOC has no draft associated with it. I'm sure those parameters will affect where people are slotted as well.
I'd like to decide on where to put people as early as tomorrow night, and no later than Friday night. The draft and auction will take one evening each, so take a look at your schedules and figure out when you're unavailable from Wed 6/21 through Fri 6/30. Assume a 9 PM ET draft time to keep things simple.
Edited last paragraph for clarity.

I'm up to Chicago this weekend and then I'll be leaving afterwork on Friday the 30th to go to the beach for the 4th. Otherwise, I'm around.

.......)
I'm going to start planning my strategy for next years contest now..........

Best times for me:
Wednesday the 21st
Sunday the 25th
Monday the 26th
Tuesday the 27th
Wednesday the 28th
Any start time for either of the drafts. I am in central time zone but any time is good during the evening.
Thursday or Friday may work but I would have to know ahead of time by at least a couple days notice. Saturday is a no go though.

Wow, I didn't realize no one wanted the TOC slot except Diesel.
I didn't feel I was qualified because I've only been reading here for just a month or two and only made one previous post (being a "message board" team that seemed insufficient). If I'd known there wasn't competition for the TOC slots I'd have ignored my lack of a posting resume here and applied.
I encourage those selected to keep an open mind about competing in the FFTOC portion of this contest as a 16 full season FFTOC will be a great contest..especially for those who love analyzing matchups and having a full 16 weeks to prove themselfs instead of a short playoff elimination type game.
Goodluck Diesel and who ever else gets FFTOC portion.

I wish Id have thought to tell you to get in on this Whip. You'd beat up on these staff guys even worse than Im going to.

Diesel- I saw it and loved 16 weeks all out format instead of the 12 weeks of trying to pace a team and then hoping the studs you've saved nut up in 4 week playoff....I just felt I needed to be around here longer and posting a bit more before being on a "Message board" team. There are some things I've learned in the 2 years of TOC I've played (iFor instance- The Higher the $ paid in the more managers go for a top 1-12 week score rather than saving the studs to go for OA...that lesson cost me last year in the Top $ game)...but 16 week competition is what will really allow for playing the best matchups on the best weeks..regardless of a desire to save studs for a 4 week window. Everyone playing for the OA for 16 weeks will separate things more clearly imo. Goodluck..hope you can convince some quality Team Mates you guys got the best portion of the contest.

This is exactly why I got involved this year. Ive avoided the Staff vs. MB contest in previous years.Ive made my opinions on the 12+4 format pretty clear, so Ill leave it at that, but I can't wait to get into a 16 week game, and I hope that FBG considers offering some 16wk FFTOC games in 2007.

I was actually going to ask if you guys were OK with us rejects hanging around and acting as the official peanut gallery. I was not sure how that would be viewed. If you think we should am-scray, I have no problem with that! But I remember last year in Survivor I our board was very dead compared to the Survivor II board and I would have loved to have had more outside people commenting. So I am more than willing to hang around if you guys would like that. It's fun to play, but it's fun to watch to! Man, that didn't sound right.Nice to see a lot of positive energy from those not selected.
I may have just gotten myself banned from the locker room too!

Can you provide some insight as to how and what you want from us? Just trying to figure the approach for this. Your input would be helpful.

I sent a PM to Tick and mentioned that it'd be very easy to set up a private Google forum for free. Every member would need a Google account, but that is free and easy.

I'll go ask the wife if its ok for me to have any ideas............
........btw........while his ideas and opinions are sometimes useful,
you really should keep a close eye on Marvin88 in the locker room...........
I think he likes to play more than he likes to watch........

The whole reason for these competitions is the discussion that stems from them. I'm looking forward to the commentary a lot, particularly on the auction format.I was actually going to ask if you guys were OK with us rejects hanging around and acting as the official peanut gallery.

jdog, go ahead and set us up the board. Bri, thanks for the offer as well.
I need from everyone on the team via PM:
full name (first and last)
email address (where they would like their email updates to go)
password they would prefer
I didn't know about these requirements until today, or I would have asked when I asked about preferences.
The password thing has been explained, but I don't know if it's public, so I'll wait until we have a forum set up to explain. Just pick one and let me know. Please don't do something silly like giving me the same email and password that your paypal account has or anything - I don't want anyone blaming me if they get haxored.
Preliminary Lineup for discussion for a day - I'll tell Dodds the final lineup on Friday night:
Auction: Capt Hook, bostonfred, ConstruxBoy, Psychology Kev, EBF, Radballs
Survivor: Legacy, abrecher, BassNBrew, Duckboy, Fullback Fro, LHUCKS
FFTOC: jdoggydogg, diesel7982, Doctor Detroit, jurb26, Spike, Tick
Two people didn't get their first choice: Doctor Detroit and jdoggydogg got put in FFTOC instead of their first choices. There wasn't really another option, though - only seven people didn't have FFTOC as their least favorite, so six of them got put in the competition.
One thing for the team to consider, though: Doctor Detroit says he's an auction specialist who's been in them for five or six years. If anyone on the auction team wants to trade with him and take the FFTOC spot, it might be better for the team overall.
Dodds pushed things back one week, so the auction and survivor will happen in the weeks of June 26 and July 4. These are tough weeks for vacations, so we might have to shuffle around spots to fit into the draft times.
Commentors: Family Matters for survivor, Gatorman for auction, Evilgrin for FFTOC. Again, someone had to be in the FFTOC spot, and EG was the only one who didn't list it as his least favorite option.
EDIT: Fixed Kev vs Detroit

Please remove your headgear
First thing I noticed.Anyway we need to do this prior to Thursday June 22nd since I'm going on vacation that day for two weeks. I live in Germany so 9 PM sucks but I'll work that out. Just let me know where you need me because I need to get into the numbers.
