Is tomorrow afternoon the start of the Exp draft. Time enough for Frank to get the draft built in Statslab and such I am assuming?

If the Nevada owner is present and still in then I can be ready to go then. If not, I am guessing we need a few days to get a new owner...

We'll likely start the Expansion Draft on the forum but likely not until Wednesday at the earliest.

Does anyone have a buddy to potentially take over the 4th franchise before I advertise on social media and the OOTP forum?

What's happened to Nevada? Especially after he got those cool logos and uniforms ;)

That was my thought. Mike spent the time to make Unis and now they wont even be used!

Yeah frustrating. I haven't seen or heard from him in over 40 or so days. Holding out hope he'll respond to my emails by tomorrow afternoon before I move on.

Might have to adjust my minors to be the Dons if that happens, those uniforms were nice - not quite as funky as the 'Danger' though :D

Weird - I'd give him a good chance to get back in, he seemed very keen at the start.

I'd usually agree but I don't want to penalize the league with a waiting game. I haven't seen him log into the forum in nearly 2 months. I'll unfortunately move on if I don't have a response from him by tomorrow afternoon.

FYI IF (and I hope he comes back) Nevada ends up with a new owner who decides to move the team I am taking Las Vegas back as a minor league affiliate and IF Mike (NJ) decides to not rename a team the Dons, I will probably rename the gamblers to the Dons to utilize those fantastic logos.

Fine by me, somehow I don't think the Dons nickname would work in New Jersey or Delaware.. lol
