Before I had to leave and go take care of real life business I was going to write a long speech like thing explaining what the purpose, vision and reasoning behind a second version of the game. But that was two hours ago. Clearly a lot has changed but the hell with it I'm writing it now.

The main purpose behind V2 was to provide a much more structured game with all the rules in place before the game began so that we didn't have to make rules on the fly, we all know that this game was not structured ideally as we were making rules on the fly and we weren't sure how to format stuff. The other issue was that trades were allowed to be made before every team had a GM. Another thing was that the trade scenarios we've made here are extremely unrealistic. Beyond the mockery of the game today, teams have made 40-50 even more trades and my team is of guilty of that as well. In V2 the plan was to have a limit on trades so that teams have to strategize their moves and be smart about what they're doing, not "making moves for the sake of making moves". That's not what GMs do in real life. That's not what we should do in V2.

I'm just gonna pause this rant here for now and see what feedback it gets and then respond to what's going on.
For the record, I think we should revert davids trades and appoint a new pens GM.

Only in regards to v2 ...
That would be ideal and a number of people from outside the game have expressed an interest in a more realistic setup.
There are still a number of issues that have not been resolved in V1 however, including free agency, setting rosters, regular season waivers, dealing with RL retentions/buyouts, etc.
Bringing v1 to an unadvertised ending before these issues are resolved, and in a destructive manner, does not exactly inspire confidence in a second version, or in the people responsible for creating/running it either. This version should have at least run its full course up to the start of the regular season, where we could then shift the focus to evaluation/metrics. The "ending" of one game should also be preceded by a warning/deadline and a set start date for the beginning of the next game.

I agree, and it wasn't our intent to blow up V1 with the arrival of V2 since they're two completely different games, some people chose to use it as an excuse to do so however. That doesn't fall on the shoulders of all of us for their actions of blowing up their teams.

So everyone in this game gets automatically ported to the next V2?

From what I was told users will have first choice of teamy based on seniority, unless you don't want to play in V2

So if we all accept, no new people get to play the game? (Barring a person resigning or getting banned)?

Possibly, but resignations and bans are inevitable and some people definitely won't have time to be GMs with school resuming in the fall and such. Again though let's clean up B1 before figuring out V2

Can't discriminate who gets to play unless they break the rules of some sort.

The GiftedYoungRider is next in line. Also if he takes over Dallas, that makes my AGM, Bo53Horvat, next in line for Pittsburgh

I propose that until noon tomorrow no more trades are made. That way it's easier to reconvene and fix this.

Lastly matt, what steps were taken to have rules and regulations implemented for V2 that were unbiased and fair for everyone? To my knowledge, rangersandislesfan created the V1 game using his ideas of what should be used as rules and as such, with many being changed later on by the BOG and other GM's in a democratic manner.

Seems like a few of you who are in the "know", decided to make the V2 game the way they see fit. Without any type of voting process or opinions from other GM's.

We were creating an ideas list based on past mistakes from this game that we're going to be put to vote before becoming official. This wasn't an official document of how V2 was gonna be run.

Hi guys I just need to ask something. I won't be on this site for the next two weeks (as some of you already know) I just want to know if GM Game Version 2 will be opening within that time range (8th to the 22nd). I just want to know this because if it is I will be likely unable to claim a team. Thanks
