ATD 2018 Sign Up Thread

[ResilientBeast]

were we able to recover the thread that had all of the ATD bios listed by name/era?

I'm in the process of fixing it, just takes some time.

It'll be done soon

I will manage The Vancouver Millionares from the 1910s since i can choose any team i guess.

Nice to see you join!

You might have to choose another team, as this one usually belongs to a veteran GM (monster_bertuzzi).He might not participate this year, or he might choose another team, but I wouldn't count on either.Any GM who had the team the year prior obviously has priority.

Hey everyone; it's been a while. Not sure I want to commit to running a team, but if anyone wants a co-GM/assistant GM to bounce ideas off, hit me up. Would be fun to get back into this.

 

[Claude The Fraud]

I would like to be part of it!

Thanks!

After suspending operations for a few seasons, the New Jersey Swamp Devils will return.

I should know by the time the draft starts in January whether I have time to do this on my own, or if I need a co-GM.

Wow, this is an unexpected pleasure (read with Captain Picard's voice).

If you want to co-GM with me, shoot me a PM.

The Legend returns! Welcome back sir.

TDMM's participation makes me a more likely participant, but I'm most likely out this time.

Last year was just a perfect storm of a situation allowing me to be in the ATD and give it the best possible effort. I don't have that same luxury this time.

Don't rule out me changing my mind at the last minute, or joining up with someone after it starts.

If there's trading, I don't have much interest in building a team, but if TDMM or Seventies want somebody to take the load off them research-wise, I'd be happy to help.

I share the sentiment: This is to be primarily about researching and talking about the players, NOT gaming. Now that we have left the "Fantasy Games" and returned to the History Board where we began, it would be nice to honor that by having a no-trade draft. That said, to allow a newbie to correct a chemistry problem (e.g. draft three RWers too early), having a ONE-TRADE rule would in the spirit of a no-trading draft.

I fundamentally disagree, this is still a research project/fantasy game

Yeah, this is no fantasy game, this is real! So let's not have trades, just like in real li....... oh right.

 

[VanIslander]

Counterfactual reasoning and 'what-if' scenarios is part of the academic discipline of History.

The point of the draft used to be about the discussion of the players and history of the game, the playoffs a fun addition to end it all not be all. Too many participants in the ATDs have gotten angry and quit because of their team's ranking/playoffs (e.g., MXD's meltdown). It'd have been better to not have a playoffs than have that happen.

 

[Velociraptor]

I'd like to throw my hat back into the ring as well.

Like TDMM, I'm not sure as of now if my participation will be limited to co-GM or not. One way or another I would be stoked to be involved this time around.

 

[BenchBrawl]

^wow, hopefully more of you guys come back, this is awesome.

 

[BenchBrawl]

I'm in too, not sure if alone or co-gm.I'll reserve the Montreal Canadiens for now.

 

[Sprague Cleghorn]

I'll join again. I'll be Somalia.

 

[papershoes]

After taking the last ATD off, I'll return for ATD 2018 once again as the Kenora Thistles

 

[ImporterExporter]

We should be nearing 20 teams already! Would be awesome if we could make it to 30 or so.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Should probably get my name on this list.

I'd like a Co-GM, but I'm more interested in mentoring a newbie than combining with a vet.
