This thread is to specifically discuss how to handle the inactive GMs in our game right now. Please do not discuss trades, expansion, the entry draft, free agency or any other non-pertinent information in this thread. There will be a poll posted where all GMs can vote on what to do once we have concrete ideas for solutions. Thanks!

UPDATED RULES REGARDING INACTIVITY OF GMS:
Quoting: ricochetii
I would have given Dallas until tomorrow night, as that would make it a full week and his most active period so far has been a few hours on my a Monday.
I'm okay with what everyoneAnd has seemed to have decided though, as once a week isn't enough activity to manage a team in my opinion.

I'd like to have a standard set from this point out as well, as a rule, so we aren't stuck debating should another GM go inactive.
-----

GM Activity:

1. GM's must show activity at least once every 5 days. A simple post to say "Hi!" in the Master Thread is enough.
2. GM's will be replaced 7 days from the time of their last post in the GM Game.
3. Replacements will be selected from available Assistant GM's in order of seniority, provided the Assistant GM is active.
4. If a GM is removed and later returns, he will be permitted to become an Assistant to the new GM.
5. If you have an upcoming period of inactivity, and will not be able to participate for a period of time, edit the name of your team, with a brief reason (1-3 words) and an expected return date. Put a post in your thread if you wish to explain your absence further.

While not a rule, failing to respond to multiple offers can have a negative impact on your "reputation" as a GM. Do your best not to let proposals build up in your team thread without a response. It has a negative impact on the flow of the game, and may become a factor when we encounter time sensitive issues.

I just wrote that quickly, so take a careful look and decide it those rules work.

Do we currently have anyone waiting for a GM spot to become vacant?

I'm guessing the assistants are first in line.

Ok so some initial thoughts on inactive GMs. Obviously something needs to be done with them. Most GMs seem to like the solution where the inactive GM is simply demoted instead of fired, and a currently active assistant for another team accepts the head GM position of the inactive team. I think this is a fair setup, as no one gets fired, only to come back after having reasonable cause. That would not be a good look for the game. For Nashville, if he's not on by noon today, we could hire a replacement now as his inactivity has reached two weeks. I believe Jmac expressed interest in this opening as Floridas assistant. Dallas we can give until either tonight or tomorrow night. He hasn't been on almost a week, which isn't as bad, but it also looks like he may have left after making some bad deals and taking flack for it.

I think Jmac (Florida assistant) expressed interest in Nashville. I'll have to look at assistant list and see who else has been active and if anyone has been longer tenured as an assistant.

Also, there's only two assistant spots that are active right now anyway. Dirtyrebounds from Boston and Jmac From Florida. Jmac has the longer tenure so he gets first pick. DirtyRebounds is second in line for a GM job. My assistant has been inactive for awhile now which is ironic lmao.

I think it would be a good idea to have someone in place before the expansion draft starts .. to at least finalize the protected lists and complete any agreements with Vegas. When exactly does the expansion draft start for us?

This date is still kind of Muddy. Rangers fan stated that he wanted expansion trades to start the 25th and go through the first (although we're abandoning that it appears and making the trades anyway). And then he states Vegas would be required to make expansion picks if they haven't picked a player already starting May 1. I would be ok with pushing it back a week or two to slow down the pace of the game and give the new GMs time to fill their roster, make expansion decisions and so forth.

I'm good for taking over Dallas if he's still inactive by tomorrow and if jmac takes over Nashville unless jmac wants Dallas then I'll take Nashville. Either team works for me.

Yeah Nashville is being opened ASAP today, we're just waiting on Jmac confirming his interest in the job.

Voted yes. They've been two of the more active assistants on here and deserve those jobs IMO.

Are we all ok with making DirtyRebounds the new Dallas GM by 7:00 pm EST tonight if Dallas GM doesnt post by then? Even if Dallas posts by then, we need to strongly suggest that he step down into an assistant role and make DirtyRebounds head GM if bwish is going to be active once a week.

Thanks Marco for letting Nashville and Dallas know theory status re inactivity. The vote is easily passing again so I think we're ready to proceed to our next topic of concern. Shall we do expansion next since it's coming up real soon?

Bump. If these rules are accepted, Nashville is replaced now and Dallas is replaced Monday at 1:03 pm.
See here https://www.capfriendly.com/users/bwish13/posts for his last post date/time. That is the time he will be replaced.

Put the rules part in the first post Matt?
