Guys-
This league activity is SAD.
We need it to pick up.
Otherwise I won't be around to run this thing. Someone else can. Or no one can, I don't really care.

Agreed. Couldn't get to anything pre-trip but plan on now.

You're not part of the problem.
But I will retire (or close the league) in a week if it doesn't fix itself.

Remember guys, I didn't spend anything to get the game. I am out nothing but the $3 I spent on the domain name if we close this.
Some of you will be out $35 and will own a game you'll hardly ever play.
Keep that in mind.

I definitely need to post more.
Not to make excuses, but I'm still trying to get up to speed with my team and the game, so I've been messing around a lot off of the forums with my roster and the game.
I can speak for myself and say that I haven't even contemplated completing any trades or transactions until we've had a few more sims to better understand my roster. That being said, I should still be posting more and getting involved on the boards until I'm ready to start dealing.

I know who you are talking about John...right here. Don't worry, I'll see if I can get my posting up a bit soon.

Yup we need to pick it up. Been trying to get a deal done but half the teams don't even have a trade block which doesnt help.

With the ratings and players, and the evaluation of the same, is so different, and we are all learing the ropes, I dont think anyone can expect much trading activity...We can always post random/general stuff, but that doesnt get a huge amount of posts in any league...And league articles are written by guys who have additional time and will, which some of us dont...I can understand your feelings, but we shouldnt overreact after 2 sims.

Overreacting is one of John's favorite things to do 2. It isn't an overreaction to say that the league activity has flatlined...no one says that you need to trade your team around for the sake of it, but a little league-related chatter wouldn't hurt anyone and takes 30 seconds a day.

Pick it up Asshats! I barely could afford the game as is, I really don't want to be out $35 for nothing! Trade me your draft picks!

It has been horrible. I haven't helped out activity-wise, my life is hectic for once. I do find the trade activity the best example of how horrid the activity has been. I mean 2 frickin' weeks for a trade is pathetic. I understand, it is a new game, but really 2 weeks.

Agreed.
Thought there might be more moves. Maybe since we've had 3-4 sims now (20-25 games played so you have a decent sample size) we'll see more moves.

I understand the trade part personally...people having a hard time gauging league scout vs their scout to determine player values right now makes trading a little more iffy. I think we were waiting for actual game stats to help determine value vs ratings. But how hard is it for people to pop in and just throw a post or two on the boards?

While I agreed with the general sense, the league activity is really not that bad given all things considered that many people mentioned. Certainly would be an overreaction to close the league before 1-2 seasons.
But it is part of the reason I was suggesting more frequent sims. People want a larger sample size. It's too hard to say right now. I know I am waiting to see how my team gels / how the ratings translate to stats.

I agree with most of what you are saying Chicago...and I think today was more of a motivational tool that a legitimate threat to shut down the league (though if we have too many dead days in a row, watch out). I know John would love this league to go 20+ years, as would I. Though honestly, if the league shut down right after the first Finals just to screw with the teams that tanked for picks this year, I might enjoy that just a tiny bit as well.

Tonight is the night I get active. Last day of semester. I'll try to pick up league activity via random threads and maybe a couple articles.

Things have been a little hectic for me the last two weeks with finals, moving, and working a significant portion of the week. I'll try to get on here more which should be easier once I get used to my summer schedule. I'm sure a few other people are in the same boat.

I think we'll be alright if we can maintain the momentum we have going.
