WOOF Openings: **JOIN NOW AND YOU CAN MAKE THE 1(1) PICK**

[Ben E Lou]

I'll commish it. 3-5 sims per week (league vote). We're going to use the old WOOF logos and teams--all fictional. No batch files needed. YAY!!!!

I'm not sure how many spots are open. First the former members of the league will get the opportunity to reclaim their teams. I'm thinking that we'll get organized over the holidays and get crankin' right after the new year. (Maybe we'll start an untimed dispersal draft as soon as we're ready, but then turn the clock on after the holidays.) Post here if you're interested in a team.


EDIT: CURRENT OPENINGS (updated 5/10/2014)
Palouse Hills: WOOF Palouse Hills Whirlwind 2014 (http://www.fof-woof2.com/teampageroster.php?teamid=26) (has the #13 pick)
Delaware: WOOF Delaware Encryptors 2014 (http://fof-woof2.com/teampage.php?teamid=14) (has the #22 pick)
Curacao: WOOF Curacao Cocktail 2014 (http://fof-woof2.com/teampage.php?teamid=18) (has the #10 pick)

[Ben E Lou]

Oh...former owners, go ahead and claim your specific team. New owners, just post that you're interested.

I will own, of course, the Lowcountry Gators.

[Taco]

Of course I'm in - Des Moines Monks please! :)

[Sef0r]

M-E-X-I-C-O baby

Havana Fuego please.

[TRO]

Grand Junction.

[Yoda]

Rushome unless Bear wants to come back and claim it...but I think he's taking a break from FoF for a while.

[Ronde Barber]

I'm interested in joining....any available team is good for me.

[Subby]

Lincoln Continentals

[schwantz]

Delaware again please.

[cuervo72]

First FOF7 MP League

;)

[MarkRidings]

I'm in, Hampton Rhodes

[cartman]

The Driftwood Rabid Javelina live once again!

[Ben E Lou]

First FOF7 MP League

u ass

;):D

[Ben E Lou]

I'm in, Hampton RhodesWade (the original Hampton Roads owner) is going to take them. You can certainly have another team, though.

[wade moore]

Thanks Ben, officially posting that I'm back to run Hampton Roads.

[w24olfpack]

The new phonebook is here (The Jerk) - YouTube (http://youtu.be/-7aIf1YnbbU)

Chupa.....
Cabra...

Chupa...
Cabra.....

[miked]

Sigh.

Bozeman is back.

[sawblade300]

You know what they say....When in ROME, do as the GLADIATORS say.

Or else they chop off your head. So I'm in.

[Vaevictis_386]

I'd like to take back the Scranton Steam Engines.

[Kozure]

I'll take Palouse Hills if original owner doesn't come back. If he does, I'll take anyone at random

[Dutch]

Are you restarting from scratch? Pure FOF7?

[Ben E Lou]

Yes. New fictional player file generated by FOF7

[MarkRidings]

Wade (the original Hampton Roads owner) is going to take them. You can certainly have another team, though.

Then I suppose I'll take whoever

[Masked]

I'll keep Toledo

[sjshaw]

I'll take one.

[Dutch]

I will take an open team as well, please.

[beeznik]

In there like swimwear.

[MalcPow]

Wilkes-Barre Sharpshinkillahs are back.

[miked]

I will take an open team as well, please.

Are you me? You can't have Bozeman. Or wait, maybe you can. If you are me, than you will know.

[Ben E Lou]

Heh. Yeah, he needs to use "Dutch" as his user name in the league. Too confusing .

[MalcPow]

Are you me? You can't have Bozeman. Or wait, maybe you can. If you are me, than you will know.

He's you.

[w24olfpack]

I am the egg man

Or not

[cartman]

Heh. Yeah, he needs to use "Dutch" as his user name in the league. Too confusing .

But then it would also be confusing if MIJB joins the league again. Oh man, I'm getting a headache...

:D

[gstelmack]

If you get Quik involved, I'll heavily consider Raleigh.

If you manage to dig up and convince WSUCougar to come back, it will become a moral imperative.

Beating up on wade every season is ALMOST enough, still thinking about that part.

[Cap Heresy]

I'm new. I'm in (if anything is available). Does WOOF have a site? I'd like to check out the teams/logos.

[zullojer]

i was only in woof2 and owned atlantic city. I would love to be part of this league in fof7 if there isn't some original owner that comes out of the woodworks to claim atlantic city.

[direct.entropy]

I'd be a new owner, very interested in joining.

[w24olfpack]

If you get Quik involved, I'll heavily consider Raleigh.

If you manage to dig up and convince WSUCougar to come back, it will become a moral imperative.

Beating up on wade every season is ALMOST enough, still thinking about that part.

If Greg wants Raleigh (I had them in WOOF2 but I understand he had them in the original Woof),
I'll gladly step aside and take any open team.

Would love to see ya back Greg.

[Antmeister]

Oceanside Sandsharks! See you there miked.

[gstelmack]

If you get Quik involved, I'll heavily consider Raleigh.

If you manage to dig up and convince WSUCougar to come back, it will become a moral imperative.

Beating up on wade every season is ALMOST enough, still thinking about that part.

I have decided NOT to join up. The draw of leading Raleigh again was pretty high here, and I am likely to pick up FOF7. But I think if I get back into a multiplayer league, it will be a quick-sim one. I like the offseason, but I don't like the drawn-out season, so I'm more likely to join a league that sims the season in one shot or maybe over a week, and focuses more on team-building than gameplanning.

[Dutch]

Heh. Yeah, he needs to use "Dutch" as his user name in the league. Too confusing .

:) I know. I would like people to know my name is Mike. I guess I will just be Dutch though.

[MIJB#19]

But then it would also be confusing if MIJB joins the league again. Oh man, I'm getting a headache...

:D:p

[NYURDRMS]

Ben, not sure if you are full yet, but I would like to reclaim Raleigh if still available. If not, I will grab what ever team is available.
Thanks,
Chad

[NYURDRMS]

I see above that Greg might claim Raleigh, if he does he certainly had them first. I would accept any team that would be available.
Thanks,
Chad

[Dutch]

:p

:)

I will go with Mike Dutch and let ya'll call me whatever you want. Well, within the confines of the array [Mike, Dutch].

[WSUCougar]

Awww, the old band is getting together. How can I resist?

I'M RIDIN' THE WHIRLWIND!

Claim: Palouse Hills

[Ben E Lou]

Awww, the old band is getting together. How can I resist?

I'M RIDIN' THE WHIRLWIND!

Claim: Palouse Hills:D

[Landshark44]

I'd like in, too, if there is still room.. I owned Mountain View for awhile in the original WOOF..... I live in Atlantic City, I'd love to have them if zullojer is ok with another team... if he's not, I can find someone else...

[WSUCougar]

I owned Mountain View for awhile in the original WOOF.....

Hey, I remember that dude! :cool:

[Landshark44]

wassup, cougar.. good to see you...

[WSUCougar]

Memories of duking it out to be 7-9 division champs with Anty and miked.

[Cap Heresy]

Hmmm, all these loyal WOOF people are squeezing me out. Ben, would it be possible (now or later) to give a status on which teams are claimed and which new guys are in or "on the bubble"?

[Ben E Lou]

Hmmm, all these loyal WOOF people are squeezing me out. Ben, would it be possible (now or later) to give a status on which teams are claimed and which new guys are in or "on the bubble"?
Working on that right now, actually...

[Ben E Lou]

Spreadsheet: Google Drive (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuusM9tO5fG3dEVURkRZbTFKVDVxNXg3aEFnMGNEVWc&usp=sharing)

OK. Here's where we sit:

1. 18 teams are claimed.
2. I am holding 9 others for longtime owners who haven't checked in yet. (They are marked by name but have a "0" in the "confirmed" column in the spreadsheet.)

Therefore, the top 5 people on the "no team yet" list are in for sure and can start claiming teams:

<style type="text/css"><!-- br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;} --></style><table dir="ltr" style="table-layout:fixed;font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><colgroup><col width="112"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:17px;"><td style="padding:0px 3px 0px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;direction:ltr;color:#000000;text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;border-right:1px solid #ccc;border-top:1px solid #ccc;border-left:1px solid #ccc;">Ronde Barber</td></tr><tr style="height:17px;"><td style="padding:0px 3px 0px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;direction:ltr;color:#000000;text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;border-right:1px solid #ccc;border-left:1px solid #ccc;">MarkRidings</td></tr><tr style="height:17px;"><td style="padding:0px 3px 0px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;direction:ltr;color:#000000;text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;border-right:1px solid #ccc;border-left:1px solid #ccc;">Kozure</td></tr><tr style="height:17px;"><td style="padding:0px 3px 0px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;direction:ltr;color:#000000;text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;border-right:1px solid #ccc;border-left:1px solid #ccc;">sjshaw</td></tr><tr style="height:17px;"><td style="padding:0px 3px 0px 3px;vertical-align:bottom;direction:ltr;color:#000000;text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;border-right:1px solid #ccc;border-left:1px solid #ccc;">Mike Dutch</td></tr></tbody></table>
I strongly suspect that most, if not all, of the other six guys listed will also get teams. I'm PMing the 9 unclaimed team guys right now and will give them until Monday evening to respond.

[sjshaw]

I would like Copenhagen if possible.

[Ben E Lou]

I would like Copenhagen if possible.Done. Something about you running a team called the Unforgiven just seems right. (That said, the Copenhagen Kings logo set is also available.)

[Ronde Barber]

I see a 0 next to Lappland.....if Eric does not claim it i'd like to take it.
If not i take Ann Arbor.
Thank a lot

[MarkRidings]

I'll take Las Vegas.

[Antmeister]

Awww, the old band is getting together. How can I resist?

I'M RIDIN' THE WHIRLWIND!

Claim: Palouse Hills


Woot welcome back! miked and I had never left. So be prepared to battle for sub .500 dominance.

[ShaneTheMaster]

I would like to claim Fireants again :)

[Ben E Lou]

I would like to claim Fireants again :)Done.

[Dutch]

I am at the Bucs.game and cant.choose right now. Please pick for me if yiu need this shored up quickly.

[miked]

Stop following me!

[Kozure]

I'll take Memphis.

[w24olfpack]

Ben.

If Chad (NYURDRMS) wants Raliegh back (I think he had the WOOF Mark 1 version) I'll move to any open team.

Need to get that boy back into the game.

[Ben E Lou]

OK. We'll get you on a team tomorrow when the time expires for the old guys to claim teams.

[KyzBP]

If there's still room I'll take whatever team is leftover.

[Dutch]

Stop following me!

I've had enough too. I will forever love the name Mike, I will forever be ungrateful that it's way too effin popular of a name.

[Dutch]

Ben,

I'll take Ann Arbor (or Atlantic City if they are reserved, I'm good either way). And list me as "Dutch" please. :)

[nflchampion]

If any teams are available at the end of the scrum, give me whatever is left.

[Ramzavail]

if there's room - I'd love to come back and revive the old Charlottesville Jeffersonians

[Doug5984]

Add me to the wait list for the league, I'm really enjoying this version of FOF

[QuikSand]

In for Hawk Mountain.

[dann]

Count me in (Curacao)

[miked]

We need some Blues Brothers music here...

[corbes]

I'll play if there's an open team.

[MalcPow]

If you get Quik involved, I'll heavily consider Raleigh.

If you manage to dig up and convince WSUCougar to come back, it will become a moral imperative.

Beating up on wade every season is ALMOST enough, still thinking about that part.

Ping: Greg :)

[Ronde Barber]

So i can have Lappland? :)

[Ben E Lou]

OK. I've released the open teams:

STU
KAI
LAP
PRV

These four people, please claim one of them:

Ronde Barber
beeznik
Cap Heresy
zullojer

[Ben E Lou]

So i can have Lappland? :)
Heh. Cross-post. I was just clearing those names out and posting. Sure. Assigning you now.

[Ronde Barber]

Heh. Cross-post. I was just clearing those names out and posting. Sure. Assigning you now.

Thanks!!!

[Cap Heresy]

Ben, what is the full team name of STU? I found this - STANDINGS (http://www.fof-woof2.com/standings.php)
but I can't for the life of me figure out which one is STU. I would like either KAI or STU (depending on what it is). Someone else can claim Provo while I wait.

[Ben E Lou]

You can take the Stuttgart Stallions or replace them with the London Assassins. (I had them as STU in case Fonzie, the long-time owner, were to come back.)

[beeznik]

I was in the same place. I was gonna take either KAI or Stuttgart(with the plan to change them back to London if I took them and maybe change the name from Assassins..) I'll wait for Cap Heresy to choose and choose the remaining between KAI and STU.

[NYURDRMS]

So did Greg take Raleigh?

[beeznik]

So did Greg take Raleigh?

The file Ben put up shows you have them.

Spreadsheet: Google Drive (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuusM9tO5fG3dEVURkRZbTFKVDVxNXg3aEFnMGNEVWc&usp=sharing)

[Cap Heresy]

So there is an option to change the nickname? I will give all of my contingencies right here so I don't hold things up any longer. My choices in order of preference:

(1) London, but only if I can switch nickname from Assassins to Druids
(2) Stuttgart Stallions

[Ben E Lou]

I just checked. I don't have all the logo stuff for STU. It's London Assassins. No nickname change.

[Cap Heresy]

Then KAI please.

[beeznik]

I'll take London then.

[eckman]

I was out of town and missed this and my cheetahs. I would like to get on a list if no team is available.

[Mike7273]

Is it possible to change a team city and mascot?

[ShaneTheMaster]

I just checked. I don't have all the logo stuff for STU. It's London Assassins. No nickname change.

Ben, I have all the original artwork if you are missing stuff.

[bignej]

I'd like a team if possible. The new game has rekindled a fire inside of me.

[NYURDRMS]

The file Ben put up shows you have them.


Thanks Beez,

He must have updated it since I last checked. Great to see you again, this is going to be fun with many of the old gang.

BTW Ben, you have the wrong Nickname for Raleigh. I think it was Recalicant's

Thanks,
Chad

[w24olfpack]

Ping Ben.

I think ya forgot about me bud.

Chad - we changed the name in the reboot - I was the Chupacabra....

[w24olfpack]

Ping Ben.

I think ya forgot about me bud.

Chad - we changed the name in the reboot - I was the Chupacabra....


Thanks Ben

Zullo in Vegas - Can't take the boy away from home.

[MarkRidings]

I guess I got bumped?

[Cap Heresy]

I guess I got bumped?

Unless zullojr and zullojer are different people, he is listed both as Las Vegas and as "no team yet" on the google doc.

[zullojer]

i want las vegas for sure, perfect landing spot for me. And yes, it's just zullojer, no alter ego... oh wait a minute, i do have an alter ego but you don't want to meet him :)

it will be awesome to be in a division with sefor as we had a nice pfl conference rivalry for a long while back in the day

[Ben E Lou]

I will be getting the initial league setup info out soon. Possibly tonight.

[zullojer]

:popcorn:

[Julio Riddols]

Didn't notice this, I'm still in with Memphis if it isn't too late.

[Julio Riddols]

And I never got a PM, so I feel a little sad.

[MIJB#19]

Count me in (Curacao)Excellent. Good luck, dann!

[Julio Riddols]

It's cool if you wanna run with Koz in Memphis. I'll settle for waiting list.

[Ben E Lou]

My bad on that one. I had Celeval down for MEM and didn't check who the other owner was.

[Ben E Lou]

Dola: Odds seem fairly high at least one owner won't make it to the dispersal draft.

[Kozure]

if Julio was one of the previous owners of memphis, he can have the team. I can wait.

:thumbsup:

[MarkRidings]

Dola: Odds seem fairly high at least one owner won't make it to the dispersal draft.

While I understand why Juilio would be ahead of me, can I at least be 2nd on the waiting list?

[Dutch]

I'm going to give Ann Arbor to Julio. We can keep the waiting list as is and I'll just pay attention to the team waiver wire for a chance to jump back in.

[Cap Heresy]

Kudos to Kozure and Mike D.

[Julio Riddols]

I'm going to give Ann Arbor to Julio. We can keep the waiting list as is and I'll just pay attention to the team waiver wire for a chance to jump back in.

We've discussed this via PM and if Mike D is cool with it, I'm cool with it.

[NYURDRMS]

Dola: Odds seem fairly high at least one owner won't make it to the dispersal draft.

So Ben, when is the draft? Can you link the website?

Thanks,
chad

[NYURDRMS]

Ping Ben.

I think ya forgot about me bud.

Chad - we changed the name in the reboot - I was the Chupacabra....

Thanks JWat,

Ben, any chance we can change it back to the original name for Raleigh?

Thanks,
Chad

[zullojer]

So Ben, when is the draft? Can you link the website?

Thanks,
chad


is there already a website up? If so i need a link too

[Macky]

Are there any openings left? If so, I would like to join.

[Ben E Lou]

Working on this right now. Some of the team names may need to change. I'll give an update when I'm done.

[Ben E Lou]

First step: make sure you are registered at the forum: World Order Of Football Forum (http://www.fof-woof2.com/forum/forum.php)

Most of you are and I've already placed you in the "Owners" usergroup, which means you should have access to that forum. If you don't have access to the owner forum, it probably means that you're just registering now.

[miked]

I'm not rushing anything. I think we should probably hold off on the draft until after the New Year, as many people might be traveling, with family, or generally busy. But I imagine Ben has already thought of all this.

[Ben E Lou]

Untimed draft until at least January 2nd, possibly the 6th (the following Monday) depending on owner feedback.

[Ben E Lou]

Ok. The league file has been created and setup instructions are in the owner forum. You should be able to get fully set up now.

[Cap Heresy]

Ok. The league file has been created and setup instructions are in the owner forum. You should be able to get fully set up now.

Ben, I don't see any threads in the forum.

[Ben E Lou]

Need to set you up as an Owner. Teh threads are in the owner-only forum. Have you registered yet?

[Cap Heresy]

Yes, registered a little while ago.

[Ben E Lou]

Team names updated in the Google Doc.

[Ben E Lou]

Yes, registered a little while ago.OK. You're now set up as an Owner.

[Cap Heresy]

I see it. Thanks.

[ShaneTheMaster]

Same here. Just registered, just need to be set up as an owner.

[beeznik]

Me too

[Ben E Lou]

Two possible openings. If I don't hear from them in the next 24 hours, their teams will be given to someone else. If you are interested in being on the waiting list for consideration for one of those franchises, register an account today at the WOOF Forum: World Order Of Football Forum (http://www.fof-woof2.com/forum/forum.php)

[unbbmas]

I would like to join. one of this two
thanks

[Ben E Lou]

I would like to join. one of this two
thanksWe are currently full, but feel free to head over to the league forum and put your name on the waiting list.

[Ben E Lou]

As we head to the first offseason, we have four openings. This is a great time to join. Free Agency and the draft start next week.

<s>Havana Fuego--picks 1(10) and 1(15)-- http://www.fof-woof2.com/teampageroster.php?teamid=7</s>

[Ben E Lou]

Memphis is taken.

[Ben E Lou]

Kaiserslautern is taken

[Ben E Lou]

Havana is taken. Raleigh is the only remaining opening.

[Ben E Lou]

As we head to the end of our second season, we have two openings, and three possibilities.

Toledo: WOOF: Toledo Sword Masters 2014 (http://fof-woof2.com/teampageroster.php?teamid=27)

I'm also checking in with three other owners who haven't exported or been to the forum in a few weeks to see their status. Two openings for sure, potentially up to five.

Post here if interested: Waiting List/Potential New Owners (http://www.fof-woof2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=443)

[Ben E Lou]

Provo has been filled. One of the three delinquents has reported in and is sticking, so one opening for sure (Toledo), and potentially two more.

[Ben E Lou]

Toledo and Provo have been filled. I heard from only one of the three owners mentioned above. PAL and BOZ are now open.

Bozeman: WOOF Bozeman Kodiaks 2014 (http://www.fof-woof2.com/teampageroster.php?teamid=25) (has the #1 pick)
Palouse Hills: WOOF Palouse Hills Whirlwind 2014 (http://www.fof-woof2.com/teampageroster.php?teamid=26) (has the #13 pick)

[Ben E Lou]

Two owners let me know of their resignation due to time constraints as we are about to start the offseason, so four openings:

<s>Palouse Hills: WOOF Palouse Hills Whirlwind 2014 (http://www.fof-woof2.com/teampageroster.php?teamid=26) (has the #13 pick)</s>
