The UEFA Euro Fantasy Draft

The game between crappy and Pedro is on. The 2nd one between @Theon & @harms will follow in the evening, once Theon sent me his final version. I hope that works for you harms? I'm happy with the delay, because I don't really want to have 3 games running at the same time and the game between The Stain and Šjor Bepo won't finish until tonight (it also deserves a bit more attention).

A small announcement:

From now on please everyone, make separate player profiles either here or in the matchthread that you post yourself and maybe link to in your write-up, if you want to have extended informations on players easily accessible for the voters. Way too often I have to edit around in your write-ups to fit it into the op. There's a 10000 characters limit in the posts, that isn't there in the PMs. So just because it fits in one PM in the conversation with me, it doesn't mean it won't cause a lot of trouble for me. I'm happy to help if problems occur, but it really shouldn't be the standard that I spent 15 minutes every time I start a game just to fix things like that.

And please don't use the quote function in your write-ups either. I can't quote quotes, therefore have to go back and manually copy them in. It's a nightmare really. If you want to include quotes, do it in some other way, either as code or as a spoiler or format them "italic" .

Thanks a lot.

Was ours okay the way it was or would you prefer us to change it too. Ours is a mixture of player profile/how the team is going to work together as we go along.. it is a substantial part of our write up.

If it is not, we will change it.

If I didn't change anything from your PM to the op in the match thread, then it was okay ;). I think that was the case in your game.

Was mine too long or okay? I can change it.

I was hoping for an earlier start, I'll need to go to work later this evening, but start whenever Theon will be available, it's okay.
 
Was mine too long or okay? I can change it.
It looks okay, no quotes in it and hopefully not too long. I'll find out once I post it :D. If you're not sure about it, count the characters. But usually people don't go over the limit with what they've written themselves. It's only if someone includes lengthy stories copied from somewhere else, that it causes problems.
 
If I didn't change anything from your PM to the op in the match thread, then it was okay ;). I think that was the case in your game.

No worries, we will endeavour to keep it as one message regardless. If it is too long, no one digests the information properly.

The problem is that one message doesn't mean one post. Crappy sent me one message and it needed 3 posts :lol:
 
Give me a shout if you need a hand with all this setting up of things. I'm usually online around noon.
Thanks, I might get back to you. Annah also already offered to help. It's not really a big deal normally. Most of the managers probably don't even know how easily they can avoid things that cause problems when creating the match threads, e.g. the use of quotes.
 
Yeah the use of quotes has always been problematic. But at least with this new interface you can always copy paste and the formatting carries through.

I start it as soon as Theon sends his write-up. I haven't received anything yet, just a message that he needs to finish it and that he'll send it as soon as he comes home from work.
 
Two more games to play.

Theon & NM vs harms
Stobzilla vs Team EAP

I still haven't received a write-up from @Theon I'm off to bed now, I'll start the game tomorrow. I hope that works for you @harms .

@Stobzilla @Edgar Allan Pillow Don't forget, your match is scheduled for tomorrow.

Okay, tomorrow then. It's a shame that Joga and ctp rescheduled to save us from Saturday game and we still ended up playing it.

I'm going to sleep in an hour or two probably, hopefully I'll wake up to it's beginning
 
Haha, @Balu . Just say, "The Stain is a pain in my bottom hole, please feck off". I will make sure the next one is under 10K.

Hey guys, do you think Zidane would work as a false 9? (He has 2 goal scoring wingers next to him) Wasn't sure so i opted against it.

You're not the worst offender actually :lol:. But I wouldn't mind if you did a better job with your write-up for the next round ;).

I have Theon's write-up, I'll start the game within the next 30 minutes. I hope @Stobzilla doesn't start drinking again before sending me something.
