Thread: ****Suggestions for the GM Game****
I don't want to talk about this stuff, but I guess I have to. It's getting more difficult to pander to Rangers simply because he came up with the idea for the game. Marco put effort into trying to get all his Rangers' half-thought out ideas organized so we could flesh them out, and he still has no idea what is going on, because he himself admitted that he doesn't have time to keep up with the threads. I didn't even bother trying to figure out his post and where/why those ideas popped up, and "I don't understand" is kind of his catch phrase.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>NTC/NMC:

“We ignore NTC/NMC stuff except for in the expansion draft. In the expansion draft, if we actually believe that the player would waive his NTC/NMC, you can waive it for them, but if you don't think they will, don't waive it for them.”</div>

What are we supposed to do with that?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Trades:

“No trading until May 1st, UNLESS your team is out. (Example: ARI and COL could make a trade now)”
“And by out, i mean 100% officially OUT.
Also, you may give up something to get rid of a contract, HOWEVER, no trading where it is obviously giving up something to get rid of a contract:

Example: Please no trading Matt Moulson, Tomas Plekanec, etc and a 2nd round pick for a 4th round pick. However, you may trade Matt Moulson and a two 2nd round picks for Jared Boll, as it is not just moving down in the draft. Hopefully you understand what i mean.”

“Okay, we may all trade right now if we want to, however, no Vegas expansion deals until we get closer to the expansion draft.”</div>

More of this as well. Not allowing trades in a game that is mostly centered around making trades, for one thing. Along with the typical Vegas is not allowed to do anything productive. As well as Marco pointed out, trying to restrict trades for no apparent reason and without a clear explanation.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Any trade that is deemed giving away a player with a pick for nothing in return is not accepted. There must be a return in any trade. Even if the return is minimal.</div>

Here's a rule that is reasonable and makes some sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Waivers/RFA signing:

“We may use waivers, and we may trade. Re-signing RFAs is allowed but i will tell a GM if the signing they are trying to make is fair.”</div>

I don't have an issue with how this has worked, mostly because others have had a voice in it. No one person can set a reasonable value for every player in the league. Not without assistance at least.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Expansion draft:</div>

Date has been set, but no preparation has been made.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Draft/Free Agency</div>

I don't currently have an issue, aside from attempting to assign a date, which we aren't prepared to do right now. I haven't seen much effort put into forming a plan to tackle either though. Thankfully, matt has started the ball rolling to get us organized in this area. So I believe we can make progress, but checking in and making sure he understands along the way, is going to be tedious and time consuming.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Inactive GM’s and assistant GM’s:

“we should wait until we actually need one though. If they aren't doing much it must mean they don't want to make many trades.”</div>

We need active GM's all the time. It affects the entire league when a GM disappears for long stretches. I agree with Marco's points, and with others who have suggested setting a deadline, expectation of activity, and appoint at least assistant/temporary GM/AGM's to manage the teams of the currently inactive GM's if they don't respond by that deadline.

Apparently Marco has reached the end of his patience already? :p
That's fine and your choice, but we could still use your input along the way.

I have more confidence in making everything work than I did yesterday, but we still need Rangers to pass the puck to some teammates if he isn't able to put in more effort.
