FOF Multiplayer - Champions (and conference champions) league?

Kodos · 10-04-2005, 11:41 AM

I was thinking it would be interesting to fill out a league with nothing but former league champion owners from the various leagues. Of course, I have no ability to run a league, so I'm not offering to run such a league - I'm more of an idea alien.

Also, I would obviously wouldn't be a candidate to join such a league, since I can't even win a freakin' division title.

cthomer5000 · 10-04-2005, 12:16 PM

Wow, really interesting idea.

Kodos · 10-04-2005, 12:20 PM

Well, the idea did come directly from a post I made on the GEFL board. So the idea was pretty much born with you in mind.

gottimd · 10-04-2005, 12:20 PM

A tournament of champions? Have each league submit their champ and have a big tournament. I think this was posed before, but it is an excellent idea. But each league has different global settings, not sure how that would effect anything if at all. Also, who would each league send since we are all on different schedules. Would the FastFL send 456,738 champions because that is how many they have in a year?

Kodos · 10-04-2005, 12:22 PM

No, although that would be cool as well if possible. What I'm proposing is a new league featuring owners who have won championships in existing leagues who would then draft their teams from scratch. That would be a fun league to watch. It could be called the Top Gun Football League.

I feel the need... the need for speed.

cthomer5000 · 10-04-2005, 12:30 PM

BTW, there are well over 32 different people listed as champion's on Northwood_DK's multi-player HOF webpage, so there is theoretically enough of a base there.

I would definitely be interested, but I think I'd need to be convinced of the long-term viability of the league (solid commish, web site, etc) before getting involved.

---
This takes me back to wishing their were ways to export/import teams for exhibition games. If that happened you could actually run a "tournament" which would be an interesting (although admittedly completely different) idea.

gottimd · 10-04-2005, 12:35 PM

So essentially an invite only league?

But wouldn't some GM's want to stay with the team that had built rather than jumping to another league and starting over from scratch with other randoms and possibly different rules and variables and sim schedules?

sachmo71 · 10-04-2005, 12:35 PM

but then waffle house wouldn't be L33T anymore.

As far as I know, what you're proposing isn't possible to do. What I'm proposing is.

Yeah, with the criteria being matter-of-fact... you need to have won another multiplayer league.

No one would be asking those winners to leave their current leagues. It'd be up to them whether they wanted to join the new one. Some people can handle multiple leagues (i'm in 2), some probably wouldn't want the hassle.

Personally, I'm not sure I could handle more leagues than the two i'm in. So I'd probably have to consider leaving one of those, or risk growing more detached from each of my teams.

Good point. Forget this whole idea!

sachmo71 · 10-04-2005, 12:44 PM

More than 2 leagues is hard.

= CFL

Kodos · 10-04-2005, 12:45 PM

Yep, multiple leagues is a lot of work. Not sure I am cut out for it.

Impossible. There'll always be one league that jumps out as the most elite league and that's Waffle House.

Ooo, I'd take on the extra work of being in 2 leagues to join this one...

Here's a list of prospective owners:

NAFL has since added New England to that list as well.

albionmoonlight · 10-04-2005, 01:10 PM

I like the idea, but I could not do it unless I dropped one of the two leagues in which I already am.

MIJB#19 · 10-04-2005, 01:11 PM

Kodos, thanks for inspiring to go out on a limb and actually try to have a shot at the first GEFL title. (Wait a sec, I just lost my best player to injury...)

Will Kodos' plan kill the IHOF? Or is it the alien's way to get rid of the two dominant owners of the league? And can he guide his Nessies to victory in Futility Bowl VI? Find out in the next episode of FOFC: behind the scenes of MPFOF.

Of course, this league is in a very hypothetical state. No commish, only a couple guys have expressed limited interest.

Make that 12:30 EST (I won't be online earlier than that.) BTW, we should advertise the game at more FOF sites, this is only the third one, including the IHOF board...

Kodos · 10-04-2005, 02:22 PM

It's all about the exposure, baby!

I hadn't been looking at that thread -- I just get called "Aaron"? My FOFC identity doesn't get to live on.

I'd be interested in this league, and not that I have better net access, I could try commishing if no one else wants to do it.

stevew · 10-04-2005, 02:43 PM

One cool thing that you could do is initially fill the league, and then have some sort of "alternate" order for new owners. Every year the bottom 4 teams or so could be kicked to the bottom of the list(which would be adding new winners every season, BTW), and 4 new owners from the list would take over. You'd have to limit trading draft picks to the current draft only, though, as it would be unfair for someone to acquire one of the 4 worst teams in the league, and have his pick gone, and have his chance of staying in the league severely limited.

How about 32 leagues getting an annual invite and the league getting their own chance to sent their representation? (kinda as in the soccer world's Champions' League)
Yeah, the team would carry over to a potential new owner from the same league, but it could work, no?

Except for guys like me that are no longer in the league where we won the championship.

I say you line up owners and go. When someone drops out, that opens up a spot for someone else who has since won a championship. Or, after 3 or 4 seasons (giving someone just one season isn't enough time for them to make their mark on a team), you start dropping the lowest-ranked owners and letting others who want in in, with the caveat that a new owner gets the same grace period as the starting owners.

So, say, every season you drop the lowest 2 teams (as determined by draft pick order) whose GMs have been in the league at least 3 seasons and open those spots up to any new winners from other leagues.

Kodos · 10-04-2005, 03:11 PM

jsut make another mega elite league. this time no preference draft.

there's always room for more mega elite leagues.

I dunno, I kind of like the promotion/demotion idea. Maybe broaden it to the point where ever season you drop the owner who has had the worst record over the last 3 years?

Why would you crush her ass?
Would you use a winepress or something like the Terminator was killed in?

Got his ass pounded in the playoffs both times. Check.

Won fewer playoff games than Kodos. Check.

Left the league in a hissy fit over the fact he couldn't overcome the preference draft. Check.

Sucks at Madden. Check.

This is fun.

That tells me you can forfeit Futility Bowl VI and I'll hand you a win in the GEFL for your trouble to run the 100% punt offense. (I'll even start Fumblin' Justin to give you a shot at the victory on fumble recovery touchdowns.

)

Hey, it's not my league, just my idea. Whoever wants to commish and the league can decide. I obviously am not invited because I suck.
