i like the way the league is going, though it does seem a bit low on activity. long way to go but it's only season 1. the GMs that are into it are very into it, which is cool.

yeah i agree a check in should be done.
In time you will see activity rise, articles posted up and all will be golden.

the two problems with starting the draft now are:
blue devils is on vacation and he has 1st or 2nd overall.
i'm not sure i don't wanna edit the file, which i can only do on june 1, however it wouldn't kill me if i didn't... there are just a few players who are off. not a big deal.
i agree we should start it, but i don't want to start it just to stall instantly.

When is he back? If we have a huge stall in the season sims because of the draft, it could create a problem.

What would it go by last years standings?

Post by duce on Aug 19, 2007 11:58:08 GMT -5
ya last year's standings,
blue said he'd be back within a week(this was a few days ago) so it's not heated, i just wonder if starting the draft this very moment would even have meaning if we can't make 2 picks.

I haven't been all that active recently, been quite busy. Once school starts, I'll definitely be more active.

We can go with the way the file is, but there are quite a few problems that I think should/could be fixed. Right now, I'm not so sure stalling the season to draft is a good thing for activity. Those of us who are already active will draft, and those who aren't might get turned off by the fact that there isn't a sim for x amount of days. Instead, I think we should keep simming until the June draft, and until then, lets throw out players we think should be changed. It'll promote activity - it's fun to just argue about really players - and will get everyone familiar with a file that is going eight rounds deep. Just my two cents, but that's what I'd like to see happen.

well, i'll address this one at a time.
first of all, there's absolutely no potential stall. by starting the draft now, we promote activity, but it's not like it's officially taking place. we just make our picks ahead of time so that when june 1 comes, there is not as much left to do.
i think, unfortunately for some, i'm not going to be taking that many opinions on who should be edited. i've considered editing guys like papelbon and saltalamachia... i already have a good idea of what should be changed, if anything.
i am still thinking about whether i should edit or not, but if i do, it won't be that many players.

also, i love the passion but i don't want people to have to care about the latter-half of the draft. there's already a lot to do, we all have lives, rounds 3-8 are all sent lists/cpu (not live, not forum) anyway.
and the other thing is that - from what i've been told - progression is very sporadic in this game. a lot of the guys you take in the bottom half of this thing are not going to be what you thought they'd be. maybe more experienced gm's can shed light on that though?

There is so much prospect movement in this game. Sometimes top picks end up shit, and sometimes later picks end up very good. Its a crapshoot.

no opening at the moment, there will be a check-in soon. i suspect 2 gm's could be in danger.
