GBA Revival

[mattynokes]

First off, I want to say I know I'm not the czar. I feel it's time to get going with something here and this my best idea to get things started again. If people feel strongly against something, then certainly let's discuss.

1. We will give tsew and clarkson until next Sunday (8/14) at 5 PM ET to reclaim their teams. If not, then they are open. They were PMed on Sports Mogul Sunday (8/7), so this gives them a week to respond.

2. We are NOT contracting. In order to keep the Wildcard, we must remain at 18 teams.

3. New GMs (in order of registration) will be allowed to start claiming their teams starting next Sunday (8/15) at 5 PM ET.

4. New GMs will need to either...
A) Stay in their current city

B) Re-locate with a current or past team nickname (i.e. Budapest Bats become Moscow Bats or Brooklyn Bulldogs become Cincinnati Bullogs)

C) Choose one of the unused concept logos and move to whatever city they choose. Whichever is decided, the new GM will be able to build a new stadium to their liking.

5. We will get you guys another update soon and then have the Spring Training sim Monday, 8/22.

6. I am the support for things on the forum and can pinch sim, but cannot do it regularly. That leaves Alex, s6x, BrueCrue, Manny, MidMissourians, and of course thenamelesspoet, who have said they can help out. We would like to add one more to the Admin panel and have full access. Adding someone else as just a simmer or draft coordinator would be fine as well.

Well Done sir, and thank you. Things have been crazy busy for me this summer with the new baby and my wife having the summer off decided to plan all kinds of shit to do... uggg lol

All this above, sounds great to me!
As for simming, I am out on that. In an absolute pinch I might be able to do a random one here or there but its VERY unlikely so don't plan on me for that. I can help out with some things in the forum is MOSTLY all I can do. I can get on here at my job once or twice a day and when it's the offseason, the f/a threads I can lock, and I can start a traded draft pick thread and keep that updated as well. I am in NO WAY equipped to run the drafts but I can at least update the picks as of sim 4 in the file.

Mine too!!! Couldn't have done it without Nokes... I had dreams of being able to do a lot more, and mostly running the league, but I really just don't have the time.  And our stupid "workstations" at work don't allow XAT chat to function

I remain committed to simming as needed. I enjoy doing it, I have no vested interest in cheating (Never have cared nor been that in to these games) and like most people throughout.

I also would prefer as few as people as possible to have their hands in the proverbial cookie jar of commish password.

Great to get this thing going again. Thank you for all the effort.

Thanks MM :-) and there are 2 passwords 1 for simming and 1 for commish.  Simming is the only one we are giving out to more than 1 or 2 people.

Thanks Chuck.  Asode from getting the file, honestly Nokes has done most of the work :-)

Will have more free time in early September when baseball season is over. So I could be around to sim more regularly if need be.

Dead link.

Also I remember Vert showing me a template for the logo. That could be something that we could find on the SM forums or from someone who has it. Might be able to make new logos. Not as good as Vert's, but possible.
