arn't CDM and FFOC both by phone (computer) ... or is it the actual PHONE you don't like?

Ugly- I haven't played by phone since 1999 when I got a computer. 1997-1999 I had to call in my moves.

Even Live drafts have to make moves by computer after week 1 no big deal on that. I just think it wouldn't be even as fun drafting by phone as it is on a computer. And Live is clearly best if you can travel.

It just seems like you didn't like the NFFC option because it wasn't live ... so you settled for a different option ... that also wasn't live. I still don't see the difference ... but maybe I am missing something?

UYT- I'm not offended. NFFC didn't have the 1 Million or Phone drafting in place when I signed up for FFOC.

I still don't think I'd do phone drafting though.
For Some reason that really doesn't appeal to me at all. I played by phone and mail in the 90s and it just wasn't as much fun as on the Computer or Live ...at least to me.

Update: the folks at FFOC have made it so that now you can only view your own league rosters. Yesterday morning you were able to see every league using the URL in the first post of this thread. As of now, the following message appears:

"You don't have a team in this league, you can't view the rosters"

The investigation continues...

The investigation continues... Did you check with KJDuke first to see if this is an issue thats allowed to be questioned?

The investigation continues... Is there any good reason why they would have done that? I'm trying to think to myself why they would as again the more leagues they get the more folks feel comfortable about this event. I wish I knew the answer here.

I wasn't able to talk to anyone at CDM about the cc swiping, but they were going to look into that for me and get back to me.

1. In an effort to level the playing field, owners will draft without complete knowledge of other leagues. Thus, drafts done in July will not impact the opinions of those drafting in August or September (Good).

2. FFOC message boards have been peppered with accusations of collusion. By removing the ability to view other leagues, there will be less discussion on this topic -- out of sight, out of mind (Bad).
