Open minded to new season. And/But
I truly believe all the kinks that took the steam out of last season regarding tech stuff is behind us.
So a 25 Season Run is my hope/plan for the immediate future. LHW/WW with each manager getting a fighter from each division in a lottery fashion.
I have a pristine copy of the software and and THE MIGHTY UNIVAC world's #1 renowned simpug computer system, (the very one that pitted Marciano against Ali in the very first simulated event). It comes with it's own abacus and a well trained mouse on a rotary wheel for state of the art speed and accuracy. (Cheese donations accepted for our celebrity volunteer Mr Mighty Mouse)
I would hope for at least 10 participants willing to independently manage their fighters come rain or come shine. Folks could probably be successful if they planned on dropping in once a week, as I would attempt to go by a schedule...and only speed up when the opportunity arises...putting little pressure on the managers.
Also...Now that Crease has become a Pizza delivery mogul, his time is limited and can not assist...though perhaps he will participate if we get organized and running.
I can run em, and post em with the best of em. But I would like to outsource the job of cutting, pasting, posting the outcomes and upcoming fights. I can go as fast or as relaxed as my partner/s in crime would wish to go.
And I'm in no hurry....Once we have a volunteer we could discuss how to proceed. Or...If I can figure out how to do that job on my own I may take it forward...but I have to research the process a bit first. So lookin' like August.
That is all

I'd be interested in rejoining. The loss of data killed my motivation to finish out the last season. Not sure if I can update the schedule every week, but can definitely help somebody else along that is doing it. I can also help remind people, log picks, etc with the draft as I always do.

I'd be keen to rejoin, us geto said after the data was lost it was difficult to pick it back up.

Re: Open minded to new season. And/But
It does seem to have all the bugs worked out. I've quietly tested it past 100 events with no issues. So......
If there is an interest, and a volunteer or two.....I'm game.
I could probably make events happen at a brisk pace....OR scheduled weekly.

Re: Open minded to new season. And/But
One card per week would work for me, like we did in the olden days. Leaves more time for trash talk etc, plus it’s less of a demand on the commissioners.

Re: Open minded to new season. And/But
I'm interested in jumping back in.
Re: Open minded to new season. And/But
Maybe we can get one going in 2022.
Re: Open minded to new season. And/But
The very last version of 2.5 is fine. But the newest version....well, no one I have talked to has had much luck with it. Fraught with oddities, and seems unstable.
Re: Open minded to new season. And/But
I haven't had too many issues with the newest version the little I have used it. Though I could just be missing the bugs, not diving i deep enough.
