Thanks to everyone for your posts on the boards today. Everyone gave very insightful thoughts and opinions on the matter and the thread didn't regress into a keyboard slugfest (I was worried about that all day while I was at work). Before I get to the compromise proposal, I wanted to address Shooter's post in the other thread. The post was about saves, backup files, etc. This is the first league that I've hosted. I'm not a computer/technical guy at all (Wil and Drew have several stories that make me look bad), so this problem is a rookie mistake on my part. We live and we learn (to back up the files!) The big thing is that the NBHL will go on. Those other leagues folded and that really sucked for everyone. I hope that everyone will stick around and go forward with the NB. Patrick proposed a compromise between options B & C that will pacify both 'the player developers' and 'the player transactioners'. We will keep all transactions the same as the previously simmed season. The playoffs will be manipulated to Atlanta winning the Cup. The draft order will remain the same. We sim at a quickened pace that will still allow for training regimens/contract offers. We will post a specific sim schedule at a later time, but we are thinking that it will be 15 days per sim (it might be a little slower around camp/beginning of season and speed up later in the season). Things will not be perfect, but this is the best option available outside of the game getting fixed. The 2008 draft- Drew, Wil and I have discussed it and want to go forward with the draft for this Sunday. We will post the draft order on the boards (as usual) so that everyone can double check that their picks are correct. Also, the No Trade period has ended so that we can make trades again. I will have the game back up at the May 30th date so that everyone can prep for the draft. Tomorrow during the day, however, i will begin inputting UFA contracts to get us going on the 'NB rebuild'. Contact Wil, Drew or myself with any questions or concerns. Thanks, guys. Edited by J-Hole, Dec 3 2009, 12:34 AM.

Sounds good to me. J-Hole - thanks for addressing my post. I just want to ensure it doesnt happen again and that we as an EHM online community learn from past mistakes whether it be in the NBHL or any other online league. Thanks for the work and effort that have gone into finding a solution and keeping the NB going. If you guys need any help, just let me know and I will try my best. |

Oh yeah one question. Are the trades gonna go down at the same time ( in game ) as they were made or are you guys gonna just do all the trades over the offseason as fast as possible so our year end rosters become our year start rosters? |

Was wondering this myself actually, but if we're simming 15 days per sim it may be a bit of a pain doing them when they went down during the season, but i can effect the teams if its not done as well. Also, I was wondering too if anybody has any idea how a re-sim is going to effect the prospects. Could there be enough of a difference that we should hold the draft off until the re-sim is done? |

I had planned on doing it in the same month as it originally happened. We basically have a timeline/checklist for each team with the jacked-up save file. |

When can we get back into the game to go over our scouting for the draft? I really need to get some things done. |
