Wow! It was a mad rush to get all the infrastructure set up for the MFL (Minnesota Fantasy Legislature), but darn if it isn't ready to go. Graphics guru Ben Tesch is working on the graphics for the site (I've seen an advance, it's really cool!), and over the weekend I finished the team pages (sans graphics). If you haven't submitted your bio, please do.
Julia is off this week and she's the official form-setter-upper so there won't be a form for submitting roster changes in advance of Saturday so sit tight. Probably on Thursday I'll put out a call for submitting your waiver pick-ups and roster releases (remember to keep at least two members of a party on your squad at all times).
I changed the directory structure of the Gold League slightly, so if you bookmarked or otherwise linked to a page in the fantasy_league_1 directory, it's now been changed to the gold_league directory.

I notice Votetracker didn't roll over to the 2007 Legislature as it should have at midnight, but we'll get that fixed today.
And we should have some points to award to legislators in the next day or so!
Update 3:32 p.m. : Ben has completed his work. Pretty impressive. Where the FAQ is now posted on the front page, will be a window for commissioner updates via a blog system. We'll also be added "power rankings" of legislators etc.
As for the future? Well, Ben was noodling today that if Fantasy Legislature becomes ingrained in our consciousness the way fantasy football and baseball has....well.....
