Evidently, owners can give a draftee a nickname, export, and the nickname stays. The great thing about this is the effort required for the commish to track down who did it probably isn't worth it. Enjoy!!!

Upon further review, this isn't just for draftees. Evidently anyone can change a nickname for any player on any team in the league. AWESOME!!!

You really didn't know this? I've been naming guys here and there in WOOF for a while. :) Not a lot.

Of course I did it in FOFL. I had no idea that those names would stick.

Now really, Subby. You took the time to type in nicknames that you thought would be gone the next stage file??? Not sure I'm buying that one. :D

I begged Subby to work cockass into the game somehow to increase my immersion. Of course, now that it's happened I still feel empty inside.

So what happens if 2 GMs submit a different nickname?

Ya, I knew this, I've been doing it for years too.

however, I didn't do any in this years FOFL draft, but I have in past drafts.

My guess is that whichever team has the higher team id will be the resulting nickname. In other words, if teamid 1 enters "Twinkletoes" for a nickname and teamid 6 enters "Crazy Legs" in the same stage, when the commish imports, it will process team 1 first, changing his nickname to "Twinkletoes." Then when it gets to team 6, it will change the nickname again to "Crazy Legs"
