So if the Sharks and Calamari stay the same, the last fed will just be the leftovers correct? Assuming that no one on the inactive list is a Shark or Calamari they'll still have to cut people from their federation due to the PL being reduced to 24 managers. Hence why I am suggesting a re-draft compiled of 3 feds 3 captains with 2 protected picks. This means the Sharks and Calamari don't have to forcibly cut managers from their team.

I think this is probably the fairest way to distribute managers throughout the federations, we won't be left with a super team like in the NBA (coughLAKERScough).

Well I hope most if not all the Calamari can remain we really have eight guys right now we are very happy with, likewise the core of active Sharks including Koop, JW, Akuma, bainsynator88 and you seems good. What we need to do is add together the active members of Kevin and the Oil Tankers and create a new Miami-like instant superteam. It is time for mllama to take his talents to South Beach.

I'm happy to take charge if it means I get to boss people around

Hmm, lets see, Kevin had 4 ABBL teams this season. And the Oil Tankers had 4. And its 8 teams per federation*

Perhaps a redraft is best? ;)

* Note, before all the D2/3/4 Kevin and Oil Tankers get worried, I'm not suggesting I would actually take all the ABBL teams

i would be happy to do a re-draft of sharks/kevin... that seems like a good move..

i guess we just have to wait and see who is in and who isnt, before we go re-inventing the wheel

bainsy and i used to be pretty active in sharks, but we chat more in steam than anywhere else.. and hopefully next season we are in different leagues, so it will be good!

Well what every way MVP write ups are done I'll be happy to do them again If I'm still around and even if I'm not I'll try to contribute where I can

So humble!

I agree with leeroy, skyhookz, mllama and yara park bears on this one.

Sharks are not even active anymore... we barely have 1 post in the feds per week. It was not like the good ole days.
In saying that I would like to commend bainsy and skyhookz on initiating most of the discussion that does go on in there.
Sometimes I even feel I have let those two down with my lack of interest in the discussion or even the PL itself. Its not their fault, its just that my motivation has changed somewhat.

Times have changed, and we have to change with it or leave a lot of people isolated or unhappy. This is why I am happy to have redraft. I am not speaking on behalf of the sharks, I am speaking on behalf of Koopasaurus LOL

I have taken a backseat in most of these discussions for some time now. I won't deny that I have lost interest. Change
in priorities and burn out all contributed to it. Back in the day, there was only Calimari versus Sharks, and that was easy to manage. MVP writeups and what not was easily done cos of the high motivation at the time. Now that everything is so much larger in scale, planning and writeups became tedious.

If we ever do go the shark, caliamri, platypus route... I would give my blessings for skyhookz and bainsy to take a lead role in captaining the sharks or planning cos they are very enthusiastic and youthful about it.

@ petevas the reason we have seperate feds is we have a lot of secrets there

It would just be the same as what we've got in these forums. What would be the point?

We add the feds to make it more competitive.

@fishy and leeroy

You can still have your seperate feds, but have one fed that involves everyone may just make the interest factor more interesting as more people may discuss things. The seperate feds that are allocated to different divisions may be less active, but they will still have that competitve touch when discussing some issues.

The reason we keep all the PL discussions in the IV.7 forums is so that people who don't have supporter can still view and contribute to the community. We've had this discussion plenty of times about moving it to a fed but always come back to the same point. If someone is sitting for a season we don't want to cut them off completely just because they don't have supporter.

Also... Just an idea
Dont bother me if u like it or hate it.

How about an International style setting

Have 4 sepearate divisions followed by a playoff system. 24 teams (4 group of 6 and 1 match each) followed by a 16 team comp (4 groups of 4). Followed by the final stage of 4 teams. Seems like alot of work but it also gives teams enough time after ASW to prepare and focus on their league matches. It also gives lower ranked teams the experience and knowledge for future matches.

Once again, just an idea.

Also fishy listed those that are inactive on forums. Maybe have a rule saying, if not somewhat competitve and somewhat active in forums, need not apply.

urmumma will take over from where smeltz n DFBS left off
