The "if you don't like it take a hike cause it's a free game" approach is getting old.
Did I say this Dave? Don't put words in my mouth.

The league is constantly looking to improve and chances are with every off-season there will bring changes. New ratings, new rules, new GMs.

To suggest that the league is dead during the playoffs is pretty much an overreaction. Not much can happen during the playoffs other than games being simmed. Trades and what not are on hold. Fart - there's only 8 of 32 teams still around.

Now if you want we can go back to the days when GMs were mandated to write games stores following each game and what not - but the message I got from some is that they didn't have time to do it. So those that do can feel free but I'm not going to force people to do something they don't want to.

Other than that I honestly have no clue what you are talking about when you say the league is dead.

Your PM identified the late simming of game as a problem. Well we sim them as early as we can. We are in Calgary - you are further East. That's just the way it is. It ain't going to change.

You also said the ratings are the problem. I have also stated in the past that I think the ratings held back trade activity. But again - that's an off-season thing that will be dealt with.

Bull. Again we are always working to improve the league. But if you are finding that the league is too dull for you then move on.

If you want to stay and help improve that's great too. But do you really think that we are going to make a bunch of changes during the playoffs? Why not wait until the off-season before stirring all this crap up.

Maybe I'm totally oblivious but the GMs I talk with are happy with the league. And we are always open to suggestions to improve but that doesn't mean all suggestions will be implemented, and more importantly it takes time to make changes and as much as possible we wait for the off-season to make changes.

Regardless please decide whether you want to be in the league in a positive manner or not and PM me by the end of day with your answer.
