as much as I want to see how big the other thread will get throughout the year, I think we needed a cleaner OP for newer members to be able to tell what is going on, so for all future discussion please come to this thread and kindly let the other one die. 

The draft is over and we have our 6 new FANTASTIC teams, I'm really excited to see how this season unfolds as I think any team can win after the draft here is the new updated rosters and the team standings as of WEEK 8.

I don't see how forum posts have anything to do with this. The guy has almost 1,500 picks, isn't that the only thing that matters in this?

You misunderstand , the people that are most interested in this league are people who are active forum posters because they are invested. And he's made a bunch of picks but he's never made ALL the picks, which is essential for a full picker. And I'm not saying he won't now, I hope he does pick every fight, but prior to that post, I've NEVER seen him in all the forums, that's all I was saying. It's the same reason WarJorge was such a huge bust, he didn't care about the league because he doesn't post.

Oh alright no worries. I haven't been to good when keeping active on the forums myself lately but this gives me a reason to. I'm glad about that because I feel like this site has one of the best communities when it comes to MMA sites and I have seen a lot through the years. Don't know who WarJorge is but I see what you mean by that.

By the way, what makes you end up All Tapology first team? Will me only contributing for Zuffa/Bellator pretty much keep me from having any shot at that?

Unfortunately, yeah it would. The All Tapology 1st Team is going to be the top 10 members at the end of the year. But I plan on making just an absolutely epic awards thread and will be giving out a lot. It's not official but Gregory did mention once he'd give out points to the winners. 

Now if you wanted to start picking every fight Reeves, I'm sure Soccer or anybody else would be more than happy to make a spot for you.

Nah I'm good with Zuffa/Bellator, that's enough picks for me. I don't know a whole lot about the obscure regional promotions. You guys should make a separate First Team type thing for the Zuffa/Bellator only guys. Like our own first team. Actually as a type that out I doubt it would make sense since there are probably only like ten of us to begin with. Oh well.

There's 12 of you, and I plan on having a couple separate awards for you guys trust me, and I have been thinking maybe we should draft more Zuffa members, but we just did a draft so I don't want people to feel like I keep changing ****.

Cool, I'm just in this for fun anyway. That stuff doesn't bother me. I like how it is now anyway and I bet this is all a ton of work for you to keep track of so I can't imagine how much more work it would be every time you draft more people.

That could work, I was thinking like a podium type structure for the top 3 but I could do that too. There are just soooo many people who pick Zuffa events, I think we could definitely make that side bigger, but we'll see what happens.

I know you weren't "attacking" me, but when it comes to MMA, you might as well have bombed Pearl Harbor because you have awakened the sleeping giant that will drop the atom bomb on you.

OldNick is team "punisher" for the wolf pack.  i will say OldNick and Catalogger will be both  top ten this week.  1 event down and 15 to go.

"I don't like how flying frontkick retired when Tapology Top Team was on the clock and then he came out of retirement when Punk Rock was on the clock.

Don't like that at all." ~AnikM~

There's wisdom in these words, nice catch bro, I think he flew under the radar when he did that, at least I didn't see anybody else bring it up until now. I agree, it seems a little like that might have been planned doesn't it...

Yes, I somehow gained access to frontkicks email without ever asking for it, we then launched a plan to where he can slip to our team, even when he was our second pick mind you. We then devised the plan to make it look like he retired than unretired and fabricated false comments to make it look like it wasn't all pre-planned. Yes all this for the guy ranked 31st on the leader board. 

I mean seriously, come on guys.

Damn 2 down arrows just for being honest in saying I agree that it does look like it was planned? With the way @Messiah plays the game, I can totally see him making that deal.

@rorschach

Absolutely. I am very glad to be back in this. Looking forward to having a good time ********ting with actual MMA fans.

Also, I'm just going to say that my percentage should actually be 100%, but it's not my fault that the fighters do the wrong game plan and lose (and yes, I am a Chael Sonnen fan).

@rorschach No wisdom in those words. It wasn't planned, plain and simple. I decided to withdraw myself from the league, then when I checked my comments page Messiah had shown interest in picking me up. There was no plan, it just happened that way. I'm not gonna get in to it any further, but I also won't let you pin this on me or Messiah as some sort of plan. Get over it, I do this for fun, not for this type of drama. .
