0 Subject: Merger of all Gurupie Leagues

Posted by: Timing
- [33010123] Mon, Jan 22, 11:59

Just curious if the Gurupie Leagues here would be interested in a merger. We probably have at least 8-10 owners staying in P2 I think. I know O2 and P3 also have heavy Gurupie ownership. Perhaps everyone staying and interested in joining a combined league should list their name, team name, and league name so we can get a good idea how many teams we could put together.

Then we could discuss how we should merge. ie starting from scratch, team names, stats, player names etc.

The more and more i think about it, i think i would rather move my rangers team in league f3 than the redsox in m2. Not sure what my fellow m2 players would think about this, but if its ok, i like that team better.

yankeesRule, I think there is room. I had LTA as a rogue team but he is from M2. If I haven't missed anyone, here is the final list of 30:

R2 (7 teams): BPG, Kyle, Doug, Drew, Mike, Kevin, Charles

M2 (8 teams): St. Louis Psychos, WiddleAvi, Sanfran, Buchster, LTA, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Joe Harper, David Helson.

P2 (7 teams): Whitey, Brock, Timing, Wammie, Purple Pimp, TBRaiders, worm

Rogue Teams (8): Eustacio, MattG, RecycledSpinalFluid, Coach Avent, Eric Freda, Taxman, Jay-P, yankeesRule

Another question: does anyone know how divisions will be aligned? Will it be just like MLB, with unbalanced divisions?

I am going to keep my P2 team for this league. It isn't as good as some of the teams listed above but it's the same one I have been competing with against my pals for so long.

Timing, your P2 Rangers are looking strong too.

I don't mind doing it. Everyone who hasn't decided which team they are bringing should post their decision. Also, post what team name you want, but only if it matters to you. If multiple people request the same team name, I'll flip a coin or something. I'll put all the M2 people in one league (AL or NL? which do you guys want?), and I'll split up the rest. We also need to find out about how the division alignment will work.

i am going to start a new thread, called "Merger of all Gurupie Leagues II" this will be for assigning teams only.

R2 (7 teams): BPG, Kyle, Doug, Drew, Mike, Kevin, Charles

M2 (8 teams): St. Louis Psychos, WiddleAvi, Sanfran, Buchster, LTA, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Joe Harper, David Helson.

P2 (7 teams): Whitey, Brock, Timing, Wammie, Purple Pimp, TBRaiders, worm

Rogue Teams (8): Eustacio, MattG, RecycledSpinalFluid, Coach Avent, Eric Freda, Taxman, Jay-P, yankeesRule

i guess this is the list so these guys only pick teams.

i like having control over things because i was taught if you wan something done do it yourself, and that is what i was doing, no hard feelings. My objective in gsb NOW is to set up this new league, although i am not in p2,r2 or m2, there were like 9 gurupies in my league.

I set up a league T3 and i am currently setting up a draft league, so i have some knowledge in what and what not to do to set up leagues and the method i used for this is by far the best that i have used. I can't wait to play and i am looking foward to bring my team that i have built for 9 seasons in league Z and compete aginst the best of the rest. and I used to be in b3 with several gurupies but it seemed to die off and was very inactive. that is all i got to say

Is that a joke? LOL

P.S. I don't see any problem with the way yankeesRule was handling the team selection. You mean to tell me it was difficult to understand the concept of adding your team to the existing list of teams? It's not rocket science. Plus, it seems like you want to be in control badly and you were bashing yR for no good reason because he stepped up...
