We have a few things I will be putting out there in an effort to speed things up so we can get Rhys settled and the new Gm in here. Once they settle on their teams, I can send the entire league the invite to our new year. Since we're scaling down with our number of teams, there are two things I will poll. One will be playing 1 GM per weekly matchup or Two. The later is my preference for a variety of reason, one of which being if we were to lose another GM, GOD FORBID, it would not matter as our schedule would remain EVEN in number playing everyone twice.
The other topic I feel we need to discuss is realignment. We're forced to look at a 2 conf model. And since we are, I think team movement should justly be in the table. I will poll whether it should be selected by an auto-generator OR by me. The even numbered teams will be in one conference and the odd in another. If you guys prefer I do it, I will look to balance teams, meaning Buff, NJD, BOS will not be in the same conf. I will likely take the teams who appear to be powerhouses and split them as even as possible. Then the second tier teams would be split among conf, so on and so forth. If you prefer auto, that's fine. We did that before and BUFF, BOS and NJ all ended up in the same division...lol
Transaction Cap is up. Realignment poll and Weekly play poll coming.
Let's bang these out. In between those being voted on, now is a good time to bring up other matters to be polled in the discussion thread before we move on to CONSTRICTION DRAFT talks and getting Rhys And the new guy settled in so I can send league invites out.

not at all i would have no problem with playing teams more than once but the season isn't long enough to do that with every team given the number of teams we have Glad to hear it. If we can make a schedule for 18 teams to play each other once, we can surely make it so we all play twice. not when our regular season is 22 weeks long we can't

If there's one thing I've made known since day 1 is that this league is to be different than other leagues, so what may fly elsewhere may not work here. We have cats a lot of leagues don't have... We have prospect rules other leagues don't have. i am sorry but our league is not singular as much as we might like to think it is what is there to prove you wrong about

I've scattered my thoughts enough on this fourm. Not looking to keep debating with GMs on an individual basis, especially after yesterday. I am simply done with a lot of this back and forth, no offense to you. Yesterday was a cherry on top for me between a lot of indecision and MTL's behavior and subsequent quitting.

Man Adam, I wish it were that simple. HITS + BLKS have to be together. Having each as a cat would create radical change. you keep saying this over and over again but this is nothing more than a blanket statement similar to the ones you have decried multiple times over it would not create a radical change, that statement is factually incorrect if it was 2 our of 5 categories yest that would create a radical change but considering the number of categories we already have it would in no way be a radical change a radical change would imply that every single head to head matchup was decided by a single point and that in every one of those cases it would flip changing everything around that is impossible

Everyone here is putting forth their angle/ perspective. Lastly, I don't think it's right you come on everyday with guns a blazin before you actually get caught up on things. A lot of what you ask ends up being a rehash. As I stated, my thoughts have been repeated enough. I've listed pros. I have not seen any cons. Wouldn't mind seeing them. Maybe I am not aware of the shortcomings. And if asking for pros and cons, when there is a lack thereof, is to be confused with "my way", then, so be it. If a GM wants to draw that can conclusion, have at it. But I am not going to waste my time defending myself against someone's opinion. I really don't mind tough discussions, etc. but I do mind senseless ones. I've repeated myself enough, really. It has nothing to do with not debating or communicating. I already have. I invite you to take the time to locate it. I don't see the point in me repeating this on a 1 on 1 basis when my views are in various places .

I wuv Ian and I wuv Tom. Both are awesome commish. Cant we just all get along and sing a song Would be nice Lester. I was hoping for "smoother" talks today and not to keep hitting rough patches. We can keep with our discussion. These matters are good for 3 days. If a poll has to come down and be done over, so be it. I'd rather that be than tempers flaring to the point nothing is getting done. I'm growing VERY tired of that type of "production". We don't have to all agree or even say it pretty or operate in this "imaginary commissioner's box" some here are dreaming up. I am a strong willed personality who can be passionate that happens to the commissioner of this league. It doesn't mean I am not open-minded are capable of changing a situation for the better. Anyone who doesn't know this just hasn't been here long enough to experience me in that way. Now if we can we take a damn step forward without taking two back we can get the league renewed.
