MSL - The Next Generation

[Mach]

Hey folks,

First off, like everyone else, I want to thank Leo for all he's done. Leo, rather persistently, recruited me into the league and take the Yankees. He was also kind and patient enough to put up with my million questions and tests while allowing me to be a sort of assistant commissioner. I appreciate that he has that faith in me and hopefully will be able to do half as good of a job as he has done taking over for Molina.

As for business, I have quite a few plans in store, as I've mentioned:

Overhauling finances to match real life.
Mirroring real life situations, such as 26 man rosters.
Import/Export of rosters, which will make everyone's lives easier and may allow for more frequent sims.
Along with a few other things such as updating park dimensions.

My goal is to sim at least once a week (Saturday afternoon) and with time permitting a sim on Tuesday nights. Compressing and automating the roster process would go a long way to enabling this.

For now though, we need to look at next steps.

I've made no secret about wanting to move the league to my site. I think the benefits are numerous:
Better chance for new GMs
Newer software
Easier for me to recruit and manage

As Leo and I discussed, your input has merit though, so I ask you folks, how do you feel? I've rolled in your standard "Whatever" answer to a "Leave" one because if no one cares where it's hosted, it will be moved.

I don't have a strong opinion on where the game is hosted, so I guess, by Mach's drunken rambling, that means I vote to go to the other site?

For whatever reason that poll isn't showing up on my phone. I blame teh Swedes.

Whatever keeps the league moving!

I’m going to vote for whatever is best, but with the caveat that you at least PM Mission and get his thoughts. He has hosted us for so long, we owe him that. He might want to just shut BS down... who knows? But at least we should ask him.

Just for the sake of transparency, we have talked with Mission to an extent - I'll let Leo extrapolate on that if he so desires.

Can you post the link to your site here? Or pm it

I don't think there's any harm in an open post, but this can be amended if so:

So league wise - are you saying we are starting over? Or are you just making edits to our current game file and our teams staying as is etc?

A couple of people have asked me about starting the entire league over, and a couple more have asked against it. I'll ultimately leave it up to everyone with a lean towards keeping the league as is with league structure edits - though I may restart the current season, especially if we have more than a few new GMs show up (and, again, how everyone feels about that) and FA will be the only thing affected. and the fact I'll let people move to new teams after changing the finances up. For example, the Red Sox will be getting a huge boost.

I’d vote for starting the season over, but sticking with the league history.

This is my current lean as well also because for those who have the game, you'll be able to input your own offers. So you can see who likes you and who doesn't. First test of the upload.

I’d be okay with starting the season from the beginning. I also don’t hate the starting from scratch. I think it could be cool to go back to 04 with real players but not tied to it. Thanks
