Nah, I used the anger from my persona life to vent out at you. I could use a rivalry (or 10). Especially since we're fighting for playoff spots in our respective conferences. Apologies.

Definitely liking the fact that my team is 1/2 game out of division lead. True. That's nice for this year but your team skews on the old side. I don't think you'll be able to duplicate these results next year without some help.

I don't think you'll be able to duplicate these results next year without some help. I don't like Milans team much, but why does everyone think players fall off a cliff at 30? We have no idea how players will age. Players in FBB routinely stayed very productive until 37-38. In my other league, a 38 year old Duncan won DPOY and is on the best team.

In my other league, a 38 year old Duncan won DPOY and is on the best team. I think I am more talking about the development of the rest of the league coupled with the influx of talent coming in through the draft. Sure, some lotto teams won't have enough to make the post season but all will improve. I am not sure he has the youth on his team that will improve next season where as a team like, oh, I dunno, London has a bunch of guys who are under 23 who will almost certainly improve. EDIT: I don't think players fall off at 30, they just have no value at 30. In our FBB sims we had Wilt Chamberlain retire at 32 but then we had MJ play pretty late. Almost no one made it to 38 though.

I think we went 4-5. Like others, I have trouble knowing when the sim began because it's set on dates, not days, and previously-viewed box scores are the same color as non-viewed ones.
Anyway, time for some changes after that shit. Borgmann's really struggling and Sears should not play any Center. All our losses were to good teams, which is ok, but we still should be beating some of them.
I do enjoy how not everything is consistent with this game. It seems like players have slumps and great shooting weeks.

Or you could look at your page now.. notice what day we've simmed to and go by that for future reference. Just plan 1 sim ahead.
Last sim you would have known because for over 2 weeks we had a post announcing that the TRADE DEADLINE was FEB 13th which is exactly where we were.
The info is there, you just need to figure it out.

I'm sorry, but people are complaining about an issue, and I copied and pasted a solution. Why is that annoying exactly? Please let me know. I didn't bring this topic up, other GMs did. London knows about the idea, but not everyone else does.

London knows about the idea, but not everyone else does. Other GMs are complaining because they can't keep track of what days took place during the sim, so they don't know what their record was during the sim (4-3 vs 3-3). Your constant complaint 3 times a day, every day and twice as much on Sunday on the boards and in chat is that the league doesn't have specific sim schedule with a time and a date where every sim is run. You bitch every 20 minutes because John doesn't state whether Wednesday's sim is going to be at 5PM or 7PM. Contrary to your belief, the two are not at all related. While your sim schedule posted from your other league does state what days take place during each sim, that is hardly the only reason you posted it. Don't think you are being clever, don't think you are being slick and stop trying to change ABCA into whatever the hell other sim you are in. That is what I'm talking about.

I like you Berlin, but you're 100% wrong on this one. The bolded is exactly why I thought to post that chart. I didn't edit in any way. It included the sim dates and I knew that, so I went and grabbed it. With respect to my original suggestion, I already admitted to bringing up this issue multiple times, which I still believe is a simple yet effective idea. The calendar only specifies times for live sims, which he doesn't do for this league. Therefore, He doesn't need to change his schedule to make something similar whatsoever. The deadlines for DCs and sim calendar dates are purely for the GMs, not the commish. You're just content to sit there and condescend me because I offer useful suggestions and stand behind them. Whatever works for you, man.

I'm content to sit here and "condescend you" (figure out how that makes sense grammatically and let me know) because you like to make useful suggestions and stand behind them...then when the "useful suggestions" aren't acted upon, you proceed to whine, bitch and complain about the way things are done and how much better things would be if everyone dropped what they were doing and just listened to you. Things are done the way they are done for a reason, whether it is a busy schedule, things coming up, etc...the fact that John puts as much effort as he does into the league when half the league doesn't seem to give a damn is commendable in my opinion. But I'll float a "useful suggestion" back your way free of charge...if you don't like the way things are done, feel free to start your own league and set up whatever schedule suits you best.

Ya I don't think people understand the amount of time it actually takes to run a league.
And again this is a silly issue to harping on. Either remember what your record was prior to the SIM, or take a screen shot of the standings after the SIM has completed so you don't have the burden or remembering what your record was prior to the SIM.
Activity, I believe will pick up after the inactive gm's get weeded out. It will always take at least a couple seasons to get a league where the majority of GM's are active. And this league looks very promising in that aspect, as there are some active gm's coupled with a good commish and mod team.
Kudos to London for all the effort, and the other guys that help him out (if there are any)

Berlin, your assertions are absolutely off base and quite frankly out of line. Did I bring it up a few times? Of course. I am pretty sure I *once* said on skype it bothers me that he didn't want to do it. Every other time I was explaining the benefits, not spouting negative comments. Feel free to go and find all the other times I complained. This time it was for a very good reason in response to helping other GMs concerns.
If you want to waste energy in calling out people, why don't you do it to the several GMs you have acknowledged yourself that do nothing in this league?
I have a run a league before. It was with a pretty complex baseball program, and it ran for a long time. I know full well what it takes to run a league. I appreciate the job John does running this league. I think John would recognize that not every commish knows the best way to do everything (nor did I when I was doing it), and are open to suggestions, but he puts in a lot of work and the results have paid off. Thanks, John.
