no prob. I don't usually send pm's to multiple people, so I thought maybe that I did it wrong and it didn't go to anyone.

[Mariner]

wont be back

Thanks Mariner for letting us know.

strategygamer

Arden and jas127 expressed interest last year, but haven't shown interest via the poll. Do we give priority to people who showed interest last year?

Arden hasn't posted since 7/27/10, I just sent him a pm. How long shall we wait until moving on to jas127?

edit: I also just looked, is jas127 someone's alt? He made one post interested in our league and hasn't posted since. This was back in March 2010.

I'm thinking if we don't hear from either of these 2 by Monday, we can let strategygamer in.

I agree.

i'll take a spot on the wait list, although it looks like it's too late for this year.

Put me on the wait list also please.

I see some trades starting to happen, including our newest member trondogss. Should we let strategygamer into the league now, so he doesn't get too far behind? I feel like maybe we should have either waited on trades until the 20th member was added or told startegygamer he was in a couple of days ago. Thoughts?

Trades wait for no one!

I doubt he's falling to far behind, I think we've had some really late adds some years. Two years ago comes to mind when we lost an owner nearly on the eve of declaring keepers.

But the other two from the waitlist last year seem to be MIA, my vote would be to invite stategy gamer, the others recieved fair warning; if they haven't checked in yet, they aren't likely to do so over this weekend.

Just my $0.02

I actually contacted him about Gonzalez, before I shipped him off, to guage interest and give him a chance at that player, assuming the two IDs ahead of him are AWOL.

Seems as though the likely issue keeping those other guys from checking in might be a vacation. But this is Hot Stove season! Who goes on vacation now?!?!
