The Pythons are probably the ones to beat next year, especially with the help of their new alliance.

Coolchuck, miamineb78, jestix, photojett, and I have decided to officially join forces to create a group of teams. While many of you might be scared that this will become like USAORG, I assure you the douchebaggery that is USAORG will not be implemented here. We do not EXPECT you to keep all of your players here, although we would hope you want to, as we want to keep this fun and lively.
The goal of this group, the Cartel is to work together to make all the teams great. We will be having quite a few features, that a singular group could not have had. It should make life easier as a whole. Again, we are not going to become like USAORG, think of this as more of an underground type alliance.
This should make a lot of things easier for the GMs/Owners, while making the teams more competitive, and having more features for you guys to look at.
Some of the things we hope to have:
- A Cartel Pro-Bowl Team - A pro-bowl team of just players in our alliance
- Players/Plays of the week (entire league) - I would like to give this job to two people for all the teams in the league. Takes 5-10 minutes to do for each team....It makes it easier to do for the whole league then for each team
- Tactics sharing - Should make us more competitive as time wears on...
- A Universal forum - This is going to be interesting. What we will have is a forum for EVERYBODY on EVERY team to meet up and chill out, while we use the individual team forums for JUST tactics.
- Sharing of Players - I am sure this is what most of you are worried about...us trading you to a team that needs you more. We will not be making ANY moves without YOUR approval. In other words, if you are happy where you are, and with your PT, then you will not be traded out of the blue.
- Every Owner and Primary GM having GM powers on every team!
- All owners and GMs providing their own players for the teams in the leagues, first and foremost. Exception to this rule: If you have another team that you GM and you are a primary guy for, then THAT is understandable! OR if your player is already on a team, we do not expect you to take the guy off if you enjoy the team....
- Having a farm team. We have plans to start this in Season 7.
What would we like to see from this?
We would like to see more of you guys put your players on our teams. Again, we aren't gonna beg and plead for you to do so, but if you have a guy available and offer him to us, we will try to find a place for you.
Also we would like to see you guys take a more active role in the teams. More GMs, more people doing stuff for the whole alliance. We understand most of you work, and have very busy lives, but almost always, this means no more than an hour a week working on a few things for us! How much time do you spend on here anyways??? More than an hour a week I would assume .
Anyways, we hope you guys will enjoy what we are rolling out. This is not only for us, but for you guys as well. We try to stay ahead of the curve, and hope that you can appreciate that.
We would like you to give us any suggestions and any thoughts on the situations in this thread. We will be finishing some of the new stuff up in the next few days, and any new suggestions that you think of! Thanks!!!
