Droping out of league, and as league commissioner at season's end

[Joborule]

As I announced on the Text+ community, I'll be dropping out as league commissioner at the end of this season, as my availability for this league at the start of the new year will be too limited to give the necessary attention.

Cast a vote for the current league member you would like to become the new league commissioner.

Well, I have mentioned on Text+ that I would be willing to become the commish.

But since it would be lame to vote for myself. My vote is for jedaco as he has also stated he is willing to do the job.

[jedaco]

I am also interest GM but I think Zukes would do a great job. He gets my vote.

You guys have done nothing to convince me I should vote for either one of you.

[Diemenz]

I have to pull out of the league.

Jed the CPU trade rapes scare me and Zukes you have been fighting for easy mode CPU all year and that's not attractive to me.

Thanks guys and good luck in the playoffs!

And don't take it the wrong way, I am not singling you guys out I like you both (i even gave jed my best player lol) I am just saying I think Jobo was very even road when it came to issues.

jobo was like the tough cop haha....

Here are my thoughts. I am sorry that Iniggywetrust that I have not done anything to convince you to vote for me. I am not campaigning, I am just saying I will step up and do the job. I seem to have time on my hands these days, though I woud need someone to be my deputy commish anyway as I can be away for work at any time for 3 weeks at a time.

If possible, I plan to keep the league as status quo as possible.

I am fine leaving the CPU where it is. I don't want it harder, especially since there will be likely more games against the CPU than we had in the past, and as good as some claim to be against the CPU, there are many who still have a tough time as currently set. I also don't want it easier, for obvious reasons.

If the numbers dwindle, I would suggest that we all move to one conference, or if we have 20 or so GM's I would suggest that we fill two divisions on each side.

I would not endorse trading with the AI GM's. Although one way around that would be to put a trade proposal to a league-wide vote first.

If time is the main problem that people are having, we can move the advance to 4 or 5 days, or we can do two weeks at a time per one week of real time.

Another solution is that we have a hybrid league. Games are simmed against computer teams, no matter what. That would allow for GM's to play more as less time would be spent playing against the computer. It would also require you to get good depth as it would increase injuries.

Or if we find that the numbers dwindle and it becomes a hybrid league as outlined above, maybe we find that we can speed the league up.

Another solution is to disolve this league and start a new hybrid league. I am open to anything. I am also fine with anyone else being the commissioner. I enjoy playing against you guys, even when I get destroyed.

[jedaco]

Is there a way to do a poll on CP? I wouldn't mind doing a few polls to find out were everyone who's remaining stands on a variety of questions/options.

Also, I'd be fine being Zukes deputy. Would give him someone to discuss issues with instead of one person being responsible for everything.

I was being sarcastic. Should have used green text. You both were being very diplomatic and saying the other member would be a great leader. That's all.

[Iniggywetrust]

BTW, thanks for all the work you put in JOBO. I am sure it was more time consuming than we'd expect.

[J-Rhombus]

Agreed. Much appreciated.
