Week nights (after 6PM Central) and weekends are great for me. Any date/time will be fine as long as I know ahead of time.

Weekends and nights are much better for me as well.  My schedule is relatively flexible, just as long as I know about 2 weeks in advance.

Do we want to try to start it Sunday, August 14th, at 9:00 PM Eastern time?  If we could get everyone online for about 3 hours we could knock most of it out quickly and then finish whatever is left over the following week.

What about our protection lists? I think they should be due August 1st if we are going to draft on the 14th.

RE:  Kirk/FourTwoOh & replacing him ...
 
Guys,
 
Consult the message I just put up here:
 
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=01;a ction=display;num=1121648358.
 
We'll get this 10th spot filled with no problem, I am sure.  Since this is a special "invitation (from Steg)-only" league, let me have first whack at this.  Even though we ended up having to recruit a few guys two years ago, the original idea behind this league was for it to primarily act as a "thank you" from me to those of you who helped me get this place off the ground and secondarily for some personal acquaintances and friends of mine.  I have a few dudes who fall into one or both of those categories that I want to give a shot to join first.  I've already begun contacting dudes.
 
I see you guys are looking at a mid-August draft date.  I leave for Hawaii on August 10th.  If I don't have anybody by August 9th, I'll let you guys know quickly first and (prepare to) cast a wide net.  I am VERY confident that we'll have no problem finding one dude for the GBRFL2.
 
Over and Out,
Steg

Yas know...  There was a FourTwoOh sighting on "the Gridiron" earlier tonight.  I don't know what's up with him. I'd still give him dibs here if he just speaks up.  He's got to do so soon, REAL soon, though.

Speaking from a bit too much experience, its embarrassing to come back when you feel like you have been away for too long.
 
I hope that isn't the case, and if so maybe he can feel better knowing that he has a LONG way to go to be as bad as I have over the years.

Okay, I may have a great guy to bring in to take FourTwoOh's team over, but he needs to know what you guys are looking at as far as dates for the draft.  I am assuming, as has been discussed, you guys plan to, as best as possible, meet on-line and hammer it out in one shot or at least over a weekend or something like that.  I would advise making a Friday evening start time, in the hopes of having it done that night, but with the fall-back plan of, no matter what, getting it done by Sunday night.  And, as far as administration goes, begin ANY time.  Don't worry about working around me and my schedule, i.e. my move to Hawaii this week.  If you all can get this thing going THIS FRIDAY, August 12th, GO FOR IT!  If you then make the cut date this Tuesday, I can get them posted on the "Rosters" page during all the internet time I'll have in airport terminals during our roundabout trip to Hawaii on Wednesday.
 
SO, LET'S GET TO DISCUSSIN'...

This Friday evening will work for me - already kind of planned on the 14th as well.
 
I need at least a week to plan for most dates, but I can flex my schedule if I know a week in advance.

Along with the draft date, protection lists due by when?
 
I would like to suggest 3 days (72 hours) before the start of the draft.

Beeeg, as per my message above, from the administrative angle, it would be great if you guys could get your cuts in by 11:59 on Tuesday, so you'll have an updated "Rosters" page at the league site to consult on Thursday.

And, the rest of the weekend...???  Again, the idea is in the least just to get it going, with it in mind to complete it by Sunday night.
 
...
 
I understand you guys are trying to be brief with your replies, BUT I am starting to wonder whether or not you're reading my message above with due diligence and care. Doing so will expedite the process.

Sigh...
 
 
This Friday does not work at all for me. I do not get off work until 8pm. Then, it takes me 10-15 minutes to get home, depending on traffic.
 
Saturday and Sunday, however, I am off of work, therefore I can draft whenever on those particular days.

This is what I thought we were planning for, since no one had objected to it.  But, in any event, I'll try to make time whenever.  I have plans Friday night, but I'll try to get a proxy list in (so much for trades).  I also have plans for most of the day Saturday the 13th and then I start a new job on the 15th (so I probably won't be online at all and will not have much accessibility by phone initially).  I'll try to be accomodating though.

More detailed thoughts/proposals:
 
If we can get everyone in here on the 14th I believe that is the best option.  Philly's post has been up for over half a month and no objections.  I would rather try to get it done at one shot rather than start earlier - having everyone together online is much more fun (and thats the bottom line right?, having fun?).  If we agree to start it on Friday (slow stye), and then finish it on Sunday, I will be OK with that too. And I will be OK with just starting on the 14th and going through as much as possible and finishing it later.
 
So.... what I think is best is for us all to be here on the 14th and get it done... if it doesn't get finished we can have a contingency plan where we finish it with a slow draft.
 
We need to be prepared for unfortunate setbacks such as someone (or their proxy) not showing up.  What do we do if everyone but one of us makes it?
 
I am sending 2 phone #s to 2 other members (Jim and Philly).  I think that anyone who does not take at least that step should get skipped when their pick comes up if they exceed 3 minutes in posting. I know the phone #s are on the site, but that info could be old and I am always losing that password.
 
I also think someone should be allowed to make commissioner-type decisions (especially for when Steggie is not present).  Jamie stepped up with the scoring and Philly has been keeping track of off-season activity, so I believe it should be one or both of them.  The point is we need someone with some authority if/when something pops up.

 
Its disappointing that the last 12 posts have been made by 4 individuals - one of them not even in the league.  We also still don't have all members checking into this post (if I counted right 2 others outside 420 are missing).
