SSBA

Post here if you're interested in becoming the commish.  This will be open for 2 days, after which we'll vote.

I'm not sure if you want to consider me a candidate, but I refuse to let SSBA die, and am willing to take over as a LAST RESORT

If it came down to me, I would only be able to do it with alot of support from nick, derek or tom

Already commishing 2 leagues, sorry, and youre supposed to be a mod in one, maybe its check in time? lol

All paths leads to KingsGM. :lol:

Just as long as you arent allowed to touch the draft classes  :lol2:

Just when i thought to make Mchale a 26 & 10 beast. Ok, nevermind. 8)

i am also interested in the job.

I've never been a commish and am not really a PC pro, so what kind of time commitment are we looking at on a per sim basis? For an average in-season sim and average off-season sim? How long does it take, or who will make, the draft files? Most of the GM actions look easy enough to stay on top of with the current set up, but how much time is required to do what needs to be done to keep things up to date?

I'd be interested in helping out, but I need to be realistic about my time commitments as well. And yes, I'm a responsible father too  :tup: 

if we were to base it on number of posts...than il be voting for the raptors....thats commitment

my vote would be the Pacers.

he knows a lot about FBB and he probably has the most spare time from all of us
;-)

And he volunteered to take ober full time, which counts for me.


Of course, Raptors would be fine, and i am glad to provide any assistance needed, and he's also online a lot, but if Trev's already heading two leagues it might be too much of a burden taking over a third one. But thats his call ...

I'd like to nominate the heatgm. its a late birthday gift from me. he also has a lot of time.

Oh he is far from heading either, but he is supposed to be helping in both :P
But he is working 12hr days so I cant blame him

yeah i dont even want to be considered anymore with others interested

i just dont have the time, but i didnt want ssba to die

guys, believe me, derek has made everything much easier than it was for him.  He cut the uploading time by a lot and has many tools to help make things much easier.  The longest part is day 1 FA, which takes about an hour to input.  I enjoyed Day 1 FA though, I found it very suspenseful.  If you have an hour of free time/sim day, a good computer, internet connection that isn't DSL and the willingness to do it then you would be a good candidate.  I'm not sure if Nets or Pacers have a lot of experience or time, but I neve touched FBB before I took over and I picked it up fairly easily.  Either of those 2 would make a good candidate, IMO.

lol no thanks...but i nominate magic gm since he is quite committed to sim leagues...he has time to spare... :D

this isn't for nominations.  I want people to volunteer.

I'd probably takes about 20 minutes to do a sim.  Sim 1 a little more (since all depth charts are entirely new).

The offseason ranges very drastically.  The drafts take maybe 5 minutes.  Day 5 FA takes about an hour to an hour and a half.

As Hawks said, I actually created a lot of GUI tools to help out in the commish department, to automate a lot of things and take down on the amount of technical detail.  There's no need to use an FTP or SSH client.  About as technically in depth as it gets is using excel. I've even written my own hack so you don't have to pay for FBB. (which I just did because in order to install it in vmware on linux I would have had to pay, a second time, to do so)

so i guess everything is pointing towards pacers gm... can we vote on it already?

Well, that being the case, and not sounding too overwhelming, I be interested in helping out then as commish, so will throw my name into the hat.

I would be in contact with you for help from time to time of course, and could always chat up Nick, Tom and Trev who I know and who have plenty of experience.

And yeah, let's get to voting.
