I think Skype's probably the way to go - there isn't any way to have people spectate for a game, is there? That'd be the only drawback for Skype vs. Vent or something more like that.
I'll sign up again when I get home (12 hours or so). Running late for work this morning and didn't get a chance to check the thread before I left for any developments. If you could save me a spot that would be tops.
I'm GMT+8, happy to be a comissioner if that helps, or if you were looking for someone more GMT+0/1ish that's fine.
Also, was playing a couple of single player games to remember how it all works, and man, the computer does not know how to play goblins. I got 8 touchdowns and caused about 6 serious injuries. Crazy.
You jerks are making me want to buy this just so I can join your stupid league and get angry when all my guys slip over and die in every game.
Because that happens to me. Too often. GFI results in a trip results in death. Meanwhile my stupid rat ogre has punched a million elves with no resulting injury.

Depending on the time of day I'm playing, I may not be able to use any kind of voice communications. Hope this isn't too big of a deal for y'all.
I'll be sure to bring it up as I work on scheduling individual games.
Since LRB5 FF has limited effect on the game. Although there is an advantage of taking some if most people take none. IMO better off saving for that apoth or spending the mil on players/rerolls.
Yes, but not as much as it used to. If you have more fans attending (number of fans is 2D6 + FF) you get +1 on your winnings roll at the end of the game. If you have double its +2.
For the record you can broadcast games through XFire so people can spectate, but there isn't a built-in spectator mode (which would probably have been terrible if coded by Cyanide anyway). I've broadcast a few games for friends to watch, and watched a few games some friends have played so I could give advice.
You could probably broadcast through Justin.tv's game broadcast app? Only tried it once, worked for what I wanted but not sure if there was a limitation on how many times you could use it.
I believe that XFire just uses the Justin.tv stuff to do the broadcast, so that should also work. I still kind of wish Cyanide had put an actual spectator mode in the game, but considering how long it took them to get down to this few bugs (and there are still bugs), I have no confidence they would have done it well.
Also fair warning, in matches in private leagues that have to be validated, you will often not get the amount of money listed in the post-match screen. They claimed to have fixed it, but in fact made the problem worse.

I believe this puts us a 20? With 21 when Mole gets to making his team. We had 24 on last League, so that is why I set it to 26. I can change 26 to lower to start it sooner if need be.
I will most likely sign up again when i get home, i was in the last one, then you remade and i was all "uggghhh it's going to take me like a whole 2 minutes to reapply to this new league that sounds like too much work" so i've been putting it off

Ok Folks, by my count, we have 22 teams now. I have it set for 26, but think I can change it. That being said. How many MORE are actually thinking of applying cuz I can set the number to 22 and start it now? or set it to 24 and start it when two more join? Or leave it at 26 and hope for 4 more people?

Okay I'm definitely signing up. With Talios too that is another 2 coming in.
uhh you have skilled players off? Doesn't that mean our players will never level up?
I have no idea what does what, and there isn't much explanation anywhere... I'll see if I can dig up some more info and/or check into changing it.... As far as I recall from when I set it up, I turned on ALL player options, ie.. training, etc... but for some reason I remember seeing it 'auto' turning off something when I hit create.
We now have 24... IF nobody else pipes up soon'sh, I will change it to 24 to start the season and get this thing going.
Also - I turn on 'Training' as an option, and it auto turns it off when I create. I'm not sure how to fix this, as something is probably stopping it, but I do not know what.
As for "Skilled Players" - I read a cached page that said it had to do with having a PRO type player on your team and had nothing to do with leveling up.
Further investigation leads to me finding out "Training" is a mini-game added to Blitz mode. Negotiations With players, Ageing, Contracts, Skilled Players, Sponsors, Edited Equipment These options are available in single player but are not free to select in Multiplayer.
Lastly, as for games, I only had an option for Daily or Weekly, no where did I see a manual option for # of days. So, we're set to Weekly.

You guys started, eh? Drat. Next season I guess.
Looks not. I applied with "I'll Monitor Your Lizard!", same as my forum name.
Why does it need to be even? This is a league right?
It's a Grand Slam, not a League per se, as League's are Open, and play who ever you want, and this way we get a computer schedule.
Also, I added KafkaAU as a Commisioner for the GMT+ area if needed, need one for the GMT- if anyone feels like doing it. Basically if I need help, I'll dole out the reviewing to these people.

If nobody joins up soon we can always have someone run two teams. I'm happy to do it since I messed up the numbers, but should be league commissioner's call.

Doubt it will be a problem, but was just trying to get everyone thinking about whether to do voice and what to use, etc...
