Atomic, my young son, I too was once a Z. Through hard work and perserverance I moved up to an X, not just an X, an invisible one.
You, one day will become an invisible X. I shall make you my protege and next in line for the invisible X.

Sorry Shoeless, no hard feelings.

[Shoeless]

Oh crap - give a guy an invisible X and he starts to swagger. I miss the old days when humility was a proud badge to wear - I think the world is starting to pass me by - I\'m too old-fashioned I think. Or just too old, period!

[Atomic Wedgy]

Smack, I am a simple man with a small town, humble upbringing. Men such as I do not have the big dreams of someday being an invisible X. We work hard to be coal miners. We save up to be poor. For me, I would be happy if I could somehow make it all the way to X. Invisible X is far too high an honor for the likes of the Atomic Wedgy. Although under your tutelage, I am sure I could accomplish much in the hockey fantasy world.

No, being an X and being able to talk like a pirate every Friday will be like I won the lottery.

What was the format of the league? Standard scoring I saw, but how many players/squad are we talking about? Details!

[Shoeless]

Just a little bit of trivia - following is a list of guys cycling for a position in this league and the number at which they registered on the site after it relaunched in Feb 2007.

Praba - #58
Shoeless - #150
Atomic Wedgy - #157
Fighting Emu - #337
Mysterymike - #461
Joos - #468
Smack1919 - #638
Sentium - #706
ultrawhiteness - #1139
mbice - #1300
molsonX - #1560
1972Bruins - #2328

Looks like a good draft order to me - come on Praba bypass McCabe so I can take him.

Shoeless, with that draft order logic you\'re forcing me to use one of my favorite words: Poppycock!

Clearly, CLEARLY, we should do it in reverse order. It\'s not reasonable that the users who\'ve benefitted the longest from Dobber should get the best draft position. You should have absorbed so much Dobberism by now that you don\'t need the added advantage of drafting early.

I realize that with all the pirate hysteria going on, playing dirty is something to be expected, but we also have cowboys and ninjas to consider. They are mostly honorable people, so we should follow their example moreso than the pirates\'.

[Shoeless]

Yeah for sure - I meant that Praba should duck McCabe on his 2nd pick before it snaked back to me. I hafta take Forsberg with my first pick so I was just asking for a little consideration from my senior member.

Hogwash! We should obviously be using much more traditional methods to decide the draft order. I\'m voting for a snake draft decided on the highest sum of the letters of your Dobber username. Highest sum chooses first!

But seriously, there are quite a few draft randomizers out there.

http://www.profantasysports.com/draft_randomizer/
You can tell the website how many teams and how many rounds. You can even decide to have a randomization of each round, which would be interesting... It emails everyone the results so it can be confirmed by all.

I find the idea of randomizing each round quite intriguing...

I think that could be pretty fun. If nothing else it would give a legitimate scapegoat when we whine about bad results

Love it.

Question - What\'s the difference between Shoeless at a FH draft and a puppy?

Answer - A puppy is cute when it whines.

[mapletreemarty]

I\'m assuming it\'s too late to apply for the pool :P

[Shoeless]

nah - read the initial post in this thread, Marty.

[mapletreemarty]

Ahhh there it is in the fine print.... well here\'s my email praba..

I\'d really enjoy beating you in 2 pools as opposed to just 1 :silly:
