A) Mark, shush up :). Everything will be taken care of for you. Captains, reply to my email.

B) allow me restate: 3.6) Players: Any players not chosen in the initial draft shall be available for later draft by teams that lose players during the season. Thus, new people can join, but we make no promises to anyone as there are 36 total spots available and more players than that.

- da management.

Cool, I've always considered my self a sheep with no will of my own, but now it's official! Now I can call Ma & Pa and tell them they were right, I am the Black Sheep of the family! Booyah!

Seriously though, glad to be on the team. I doubt if my arthritis will be a problem, it rarely acts up now. In fact I alwaal;sdjf;alj;lkasnjd;lfkajsdf;alskdjf;alskdjf;alsdkfa,s, oops, sorry, quick attack there. Steady.....steady.........!!!

Friday, May 28, 2004 at 4:43:23 AM

I guess that I am an alternate, correct, as I am the 5th member of the team? That is fine, as I am new to the team I understand how things go...just let me know a day in advance or so if I am playing...

Also, are these set days, or are we going to try and organize a match with the opponents...

One more questions only! Do actual scores count, or is a win a win....?

 

Friday, May 28, 2004 at 4:52:14 AM

Games are wednesdays, starting next wednesday.

Friday, May 28, 2004 at 5:04:54 AM

I wish I could play this season, but unfortunately I will be unable to commit. Arghhh.... Sorry for the late notice but it wasn't until last night that I realized my schedule was going to be too hectic.

Steel Corset will dominatrix.... Uhhh.. Dominate. Pull the strings tight boys, make sure it hurts just right, you are gonna have to suck in those bellies to destroy the competition.

Since I will not be in the game with my Steel Corset brothers,

I am forced to do whatever I can to help, as such, I extend the following offer...

Whoever loses to Steel Corset gets to lick one......

Katherine the lonely outsider

Wow, nice team picks everyone! It looks like there are going to be some great games! Someone might take down the Black Sheep this season yet. :)

Friday, May 28, 2004 at 12:29:02 PM

It appears I've been placed in Cerebros, KJ & Dar, I need your email adress. You can email me at;

Lilaliend@mac.com

I saw a post in the last thread from Dar to email to 'baba' adress... Email to Baba? Captain of Black Sheep? I dunno, email me.

Friday, May 28, 2004 at 1:21:16 PM

@Steel Corset

Email is corey.snyder@avimports.com hit me with an email if you need anything...

And it starts this coming wed as in june 2? Let me know thanks all... We are fighting for the LEG!!!!!

Yeah it does mean what you think

Hmm.. It now definately looks like a rather appealing option to deliberately lose to the Steel Corset!

@LilAlienD: I believe this is because Dar / KJ dont actually have their own email addresses at the moment, and can only be contacted through Baba's

@LilAlienD - as a former captain of Team Glamdring from last Psycho league, I had Dar on my team. Correspondence goes to Baba's email, which is in his profile. I wouldn't concern yourself. Baba is an upstanding guy, and wouldn't pry into any of your team's emails. But to make it easy, I ALWAYS used to use a subject line with something like "for Team Glamdring:" or "Glamdring update" or some such to be sure Baba knew it was for Dar. I suggest doing the same.
