I know

lykofos on a personal level (my wife and I had dinner with him and a couple other friends last friday). He's not very active in the forum, but I'm fairly sure he will be submitting a photo....I know what his idea is...or at least one of them.

Will we be able to get a new member possibly? Or will we just play with 7 people?

We basically played with 5 in the DPL...but in the DPCOIII we are at a disdvantage because of the participation points...I was waiting to hear from all of you...I knew that that you were aquainted with Michael...no problem there... I can check with a few people I know and ask them to join...if we need them...I have no idea if they will or not...or I can ask Dirt Driver if there is anyone looking to join...I wanted to get a number of for sures first....we haven't heard from Angelfire and Slaasko either...so we wait..lol I read in a thread we have to be solid when we start...cause there will be no changes...

09/22/2008 05:56:17 PM · #54

it looks like we need at least one more person since we lost one.....so it'd be great if we could grab someone.

...maybe even have a couple in reserve too since we haven't heard from the others....I also would like to have at a minimum 6 entries each week

I just PM'ed Dirt_Driver. I told him our situation and I am waiting back to here from him. he will either assign someone to our team... or I can get Sandi (my Wife) slfarrell23, she will join. I also have a cleaner banner with no names on it on my profile page...if you guys wanna use it...I am going to give the new one to Dirt..for the standings page...

09/23/2008 03:25:17 PM · #57

ok...Papa Bob will be joining us on the Team..replacing Dave.... Sandi will still be..standing by if Dirt_Driver allows us to add if we don't have a full compliment of photographers...I still haven't heard from Dirt...but I have sent him the new nameless banner...and all the information..about our situation..

I was just going thru the threads..and I found this...

Dated 9/16/08 from Dirt_Driver..

....If you have any questions please email me and let me know, I need to have everything fixed today before the challenges start. Also a reminder about how this all works, once the challenges start no one can join or switch players at all.

Still haven't heard from him...but from this..after the Challenges were announced...there can be no moves made...we will see..I guess...it is out of our hands.

09/23/2008 05:51:06 PM · #59

Oh well.

09/23/2008 06:23:57 PM · #60

that sucks....we didn't know by then that we needed to replace a member

.....there must be an extenuating circumstance clause....LOL

we will be fine...maybe he will be nice about it...lol..'cause you're right..we had nothing to do with it...told yesterday about it....and he's got a bunch of PM's to read...lol

ETA...we have 4 submissions...5 if Lykofos comes through...Bob is submitting also, so if we get lucky..we'll have 6..... but we haven't heard from Angelfire or Slaasko

Hello everyone. I've been away for a while and never recieved an email on where the team was or when it started. Sorry I'm a bit late but if you didn't replace me I'm able to play for this weeks challenges and so on. Let me know soon. My email is mlouisestanley@yahoo.com that is also my IM thru yahoo. I am home every day until 2:30.

as far as all the PM's I have sent to Dirt_Diver....I have not heard a thing back...so the original 8 in the original sign up thread... is the team....we are down to 7 'cause
NstiG8r quit...and we still have to hear from Slaasko..

09/24/2008 09:40:58 PM · #73

so it is still sinking...But if it is below the top 5...we won't need it...strange voting patterns...and the score is alot lower than I thought it would be.

Good Luck everyone...

Mine was at a 4.1 this morning with about 35 votes. Thankfully it has raised a good bit, still not that great though.
