Very good to hear, thanks. What happened? What does the game do? Anyway, glad to hear you guys are alive and well. I sent out an email about possibly restarting with those settings so make sure to check your mail and respond in kind when you get the chance.

Oh--and ignore the stuff about Dallas being AWOL.

Umm...well, everyone else has played. What's not letting you play?

I also vote for keeping the game AS IS. Why start over when a lot of cool things have happened already?

But I do say this. If we are going to start over...WAIT about a week so that maybe we can get an updated roster from VC and we can play with 'real' rosters. That would be my suggestion if you do decide to scrap it and start over.

My fear about that is that VC will also have real life injured players unavailable, which would suck.

Since Dallas is "still around", if there's any other team that bombs out, I'll be available...Washington, whoever.

We know you're trying to play Sudz...you've been quite vocal about not being able to contact the putz that's running the Skins. We need to let Terry take them over even if it is an automatic SuperBowl win for the Skins.

Terry,

It looks like the league will be re-forming and I'm in over my head right now. So if you want them Tampa Bay will be available.

What is keeping Atlanta and Dallas from playing is that when we tryo to coonect, I get an error that says "Please reconnect controller to control port 1" I unplug, re plug, reset Xbox, reset modem...no avail. I e-mail ThristY (Atlanta) to see whne he can play again. Hopefully it will work this time.

ILikePie,

I was getting the exact same problem when I first tried to play against seanmac. We exited out and tried again and then it worked. Weird.

Had the same issue, had to restart my Xbox and sign back in to fix it.

Badgun and I had the same problem. We just cancelled and re-challenged and everything went fine.

I got an email from the Washington owner today saying he has tried to email you for 2 days. heh. He attached the email and says he can play tonight. Of course we may be starting over but hey...

OK, Tampa is yours. I'll drop when I get home in a couple hours. Let Bill know you want in.

Reforming?
Does that mean I can get the Rams?
Giving em to the guy who has em now (judging by his one performance) is like giving the keys to a Porsche to a 5 yr old.

Well?
Huh?
Well?

If we're starting a new league...just kill the last one. No reason to be in two leagues as one of them will suffer anyway. One league is enough for most of us. If we start over, we start over...don't just let the other one hang around.

Sudz · Post by **Sudz** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 4:30 pm

now that i think about it...why reform..we got 1 week almost in....either cancel the old and start the new or keep the old one.

bdoughty · Post by **bdoughty** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 4:31 pm

Terry you can have my Texans, assuming the first league keeps going with the addition of a second league...

I can't keep up with the ammasment of e-mails, let alone the the fact a new league is starting.

Going back to playing the CPU and friends here at the house. Makes life much easier and cleans up my e-mail inbox.

I feel the same way. If all you guys are going to be playing in the new league, I'll be dropping out of the current league tonight. A lot of the fun comes from seeing all the updates on the league page. I'd rather have one robust league page than 2 mediocre ones.

I did upset the Rams in week 1 so it's dissappointing to see that go by the boards.
