Hey guys,
Even though we're in the middle of an intense playoff run here, I don't think it's a bad idea to start talking about the future of the league.
Martin's departure is going to leave an enormous hole to fill, both from a GM perspective and, perhaps more importantly, from a management perspective.
I have a feeling it's going to be a difficult task to find someone willing to take over the full range of duties a Commissioner has to perform. However, thanks to improving online multi-user functionality, it may not be necessary to have the duties performed by just one person.
We may be able to split the Commissioner's duties up between two or, ideally, three people to lighten the load on each and ensure a well-run ship. There are several means of sharing files in a secure manner, such that they can be accessed by multiple users perhaps even to the point of simming from anywhere with a single copy of the STHS program. With the help of an appropriately-designed script, we might even be able to automate this process.
Anyway, I think we'd need to determine how to divvy up the duties (eg. one person who sims, one who handles contracts and signings, etc) and find people to fill those roles. I'd be willing to perform the daily sims, but have no interest in negotiating contracts or creating new players and the like.. that stuff really bogged me down last time I had a kick at this particular can.
Anyone care to add their thoughts?
