Never played against any of my opponents.
This should be fun ;)

Who is reporting for every league?

Hey Ghost... Now that there are 11 leaues, yoou should consider updating the league homepage. What is up there is based partially around 7 and partially around 6.

oops, leagues

Yeah, I know, I shall be doing that.

I am going to be moving on the 30th of April/1st of May, but I will try my absolute best to get access to the internet by the 2nd. Just thought I'd apologize in advance if I'm a tad late to the party, but please don't kick me out of my group!

ok, thanks for the information.

Just a question:

now that the Leagues are sorted out, any reason why we cannot try to start the first game before the 2nd?

Because I set it at that so that players could make sure they had points, and because setting up the emails for starting 11 leagues with an exam on Monday isn't a good idea for me personally, and I want to start games at weekends.

Suffering League withdrawal symptoms here...

Good luck with the exam.

@airborne,

They are using the Queen's English, not the President's American.

And quite rightly so, how can one be expected to rule the world when one spells car as automobile...

And gasoline gets spelled petrol?

And truck as lorry?

And football as soccer...

That's the worst offense.

They hardly even use the foot at all in that game they call "football". That's just sick.

On the Football issue, I must both concede and agree. American Football has more in common with Rugby, but it's a little late to be calling it Rugby Lite.

Or "Hardcore Handball"...

My favorite would be "An Accurate Long-Distance Kick Is Worth Less Than Running Across a Stupid Line".

I am English, and therefore call Association Football, 'football.' However, in defence of those who call my 'football', soccer, the term 'soccer' is derived from 'association,' so it's a reasonable term to use. But only if you're North American. Or Australian. Or Irish.

Oh, and re Airborne/Airbourne - Microsoft Word (sorry, don't have a dictionary to hand), when set to UK English, claims that 'airbourne' is an incorrect spelling, so I think this could be a case of hypercorrection, like when children say 'sheeps.'

P.S. Thanks Ghostmaker, looking forward to the league!

duz ne1 no Commodore64? he talked to me nd asked if he culd com bak 2 php?

Wasn't Commodore64 a multi accounter?

If he was banned, he's allowed to come back with a new S/N (and only 1 account). He can make it something so we can't tell he's related to the Commodore s/n, and nobody will care as long as he follows the rules.

Interesting that even thought the Australian Association Soccer Internation team is called the 'Socceroos', the Austrian (FA, or whatever equivalent) decided to "officially" change the name of the sport to Football when they started the A-league!

(I'm an American fan of World Football.)

Do Canadians call it soccer? The Fox Soccer Report originates from Winnipeg, but I'm not sure if they just call it that for us Americans.

Since Canadian Football is a variation of American Football.

Well, Socceroos is a pretty sucky nickname to start with...

Just so you know, this useless discussion has a point, wich is to keep bumping the League info, of course.

How do we know who the designated game starter is?

TGM said he would be emailing people this week - i think he said he's busy today and tuesday so probably later in the week.

Yeah, I have been busy, and will be busy on Wednesday too, so either on Tuesday or Thursday with any luck.

Bump?

What's the US version for bump?

Depends... What are we bumping? Uglies? Well that's f*cking (or banging). Bumpers/Fenders? That's crash or collision. Pool balls (yes, I know they are also billiard balls, but they are two different games)? That's shooting a combo. another term might be push or nudge, depending on the situation.

But in this case it's just

*BUMP*

New Joisey and Chicago version = Da Bump

Chicago puts the emphasis on 'Da', NJ on the 'Bump'

Da bumb bump...
