Cunning linguist is off that list, his current PL has another 5 games in the schedule it seems.
Hopefully he can join us later on the near future.

Can you play more than 1 PL?? Does it depend on day/time? I could miss out then as I still have 7 games in the demolishion league, I am at least 1000 WR lower than the closest in the league I joined, flogged each time... On the other hand I am hopeful to not be a III.12 next season as I have a good chance of promoting, Beasts or Hippos to beat but I think as it stands I can take either especially with the HCA advantage!

you can only participate in 1 PL at a time

When did we all agree on having a draft?

sorry flaming boy you missed out by a long way - seems to be a bit if a theme, about 1/2 a dozen guys in the same boat already, paddling hard but going over the waterfall

@matt1986 - about 3 months ago :)

Oh well, guess I will just have to try again next time round. Thanks anyway, I will keep an eye for next fishbowl.

We have a game this Friday 8/7/11 - the last regular season game for the league then one week of the playoffs will be Friday 15/7/11. Then next season that you (and others will miss) will be exactly 12 weeks long. So in 15 Fridays, if we can avoid too much self-destructive behaviour, season 6 will start. As usual we can make no guarantees but if you are interested be free at that time.

Kevin has 2 Div 3 teams ready to join - not sure if it will be a draft or we can just add them or what not. I work with one bloke and am mates with the other so obviously i'd like them to be in our Fed if possible.

Well the plan is a draft but obviously most federations have teams that they prefer and we are giving everyone a "protected" draft pick this time so things should work out well. As far as I know you guys have all 3 picks organised, the Sharks have 2, Guppies I don't know if they have plans for their draft picks or if they will just choose on the day and we have just started discussing things.

So which other federations have "protected" picks? Just curious as to what determines a protected pick because we obviously have Akuma because he is a friend outside of BB and he also was part of the Original XBB Sharks Federation.
On another note, We have no issues whatsoever if WA or any other teams are not deemed appropriate for the PL. Though I do have issues when people who are now in this Private League to accuse Federations of inviting or nominating teams just because of how strong their teams are! For heavens sake, Dire Wolf was drafted in! If I were a complainer as well I would've Veto'd that!
So to say that the Sharks are only bringing WA in because of how good his team is, is a load of f**king BS. If strength was an issue we would try to recruit the remaining ABBL teams into the PL and kick out fringe teams in our federation!!! This is an absolute joke to accuse the Sharks of only bringing in the best teams. That is not what we were about since SEASON 1 of the Fish Bowl so for someone who hasn't been part of SESAON 1 to make such accusations is beyond me.

Ok I am totally confused.

I have been part of the fishbowl since season one.
I haven't accused you of just bringing in the best teams.
You obviously have brought in a balance of teams like bainsynator88 and ...ok I can't think of any other non-original teams that haven't been strong.

So you say you were bringing in WA not because of his strength? So if he had the same charming personality and was in division IV you would have wanted him just as much? Honest?

Besides bainsynator88 who we would snap up in a second, who else is a fringe team? Every other Shark except Maggots who are tactically tanking is division II or higher. Kevin has 5 x division III teams.

Dire-Wolf as drafted in, but he passes the character test with flying colors. Once we let in C-Cat (who also passed the character test easily) the dam was burst as far as power goes. No-one has said ever that WA is too strong.

Every Federation should be entitled to a protected pick. They will need a way to justify it and I am happy to let Koop be the final judge of how reasonable they are. You will use yours on Akuma, we hope to use ours on Xerxes if we can get him to come back - still 50/50. Kevin has a plan. I never have any idea what the Guppies are doing, do they?

The power creep (explosion) has already happened, it is just about character now. There are only about 5 teams I can think of that we wouldn't allow in but there may be some others that I don't know about.

You say it isn't about power, cool, we have a ton of awesome teams that have nominated for the draft and I think there will be a very strong division II team adding their name very soon as well as a medium one.
