That all the leagues will get their own forum?

Could be. This one was set up mostly because it was that, or get the email inboxes clogged up with emails from all of the participants.
It may also have just been a temporary measure until the league website is up and the game is out, for all I know. |

I'm guessing there's probably going to be a pretty high turnover initially with people leaving and new players joining.

I would think so too. Eventually somebody will get pissed at somebody else, or somebody won't keep up, or....

Yes there will be a lot of turnover I'm sure.
Actually, the great thing would be that when an owner/GM drops out, the other owners/GM "vote" (like done in the NFL) before "accepting"..or not the new person who is bound to taking over the left out franchise. I think it would be very good for the league, would help consolidate the links and the feeling of "that's OUR league" among the owners.

Franklin, I am sure that all of us wish that everyone in the FOFC who wants to play could be in.

How was the decision on who gets to be in the official league made, if you don't mind me asking?

everyone knows who the "FOFC Legends" are, to coin a phrase from Blacky.
not for nothing, but many of the nucleus of this community has been around for several eyars now - this league is something we've all talked about for years. it wasn't meant as a insult to anyone, but when you think about Legends in this community certain names pop up. nothing more. |

Look, I put "official" in quotation marks for a reason. There is no such thing as as *real* "official" league. As most everyone around here knows, I'm not normally a big fan of multiplayer. That being said, I'd like to at least give it a shot with FOF2K4. I figured the best way for me to be fully engaged in the league was to play with people who I "know" online. So, rather than waiting to see which league would have a few of the people I wanted to play with, I decided to invite all of them. Some of the old-timers (Morgado, ez, OldSchool) never responded. Some on the list (Senator, HFP, and a couple others) I actually forgot on the first round of invites. Some not on the list (sachmo, Vegas Vic, etc.) I am still kicking myself for forgetting about. There was no rhyme or reason. I just thought of people off the top of my head that I wanted to be in a league with. That is all. Nothing sinister or elitist. No more. No less. When I started compiling the list, I realized that it would be *viewed* as an "official" league because of the presence of both admins, and a number of "legends" of The Sideline and FOFC. Gathering some "elite" wasn't my intention though. Again, I just wanted to give multi a try, and I was fairly certain that I'd like it more if I was playing with guys with whom I familiar.

Not a bad idea. If so, there would (imho) have to be rules about thread titles - prefixed with [xxxx] where xxxx is the name of the league referenced, etc. Something like that. Although we know how well that works for [OT]. Kevin Last edited by Celeval : 10-22-2003 at 07:25 AM. |

...and as far as forums for leagues, a few points to consider
All these things being considered, if anyone asks for another message board for their league, at this point I think that is fine.

Is the idea of a separate website (and perhaps its own forum) still a viable idea for FOFL or any other leagues?
One of the main impediments I'm guessing for starting up FOF MP leagues is the requirement of having 32 humans. That's pretty high whereas most OOTP leagues cannot sustain that many (FOBL excepting). Jim, for the love of all that hold holy, please work on a flexible schedule generator or open it up so there can be a third-party generator. That way, we can get around having 32 hardcoded teams. Please. |

I think you can have less than 32 people (I don't know if the league size changes or if the computer controls the other teams though).

I get the impression that leagues will be 32 teams (I'm figuring league structure will be rigid, unfortunately) and each team will have a computer/human control option.

I think I'm being slightly misunderstood here. I have no problems with who the owners are in the league, and me not getting picked. Bug had already asked me to join his and for the moment I intend on keeping my FOF online league quota at only 1. So this has nothing to do with me being bitter or anything like that.
I only had a problem with HA's particular post where it seemed like he was implying that those not in the league were not because they hadn't reached "legend" status. That's what I did not like. I wish you guys nothing but the best, and rest assured with some of the personalities I will be checking in and seeing how everyone is doing. Is it too early to bestow a curse on HA's team? ![]() Neuqua

Since Skydog was so kind to point out how this league members were chosen, Hell's point is irrelevant in this context. Let's move on and witness the birth of the league!

my post was my opinion, not the official reason why certain people were asked in the league.
skydog wanted familiar faces, and lets face, it doesn't get any familiar than going all the way back to the old Sideline community. i myself refuse to play in leagues that do not have people from FOFC in them. the only draw of this league is that it has people in it i would take a peculiar satisfaction in beating. there's nothing to get worked up about. the very nature of an online league is that it will have owners come and go. many of you will get your chance. i don't see anyone throwing a hissy fit at the .400 forums because they aren't in the official ootp league. |
