Hahaha... lovely to read this thread! As I have travelled a lot, and lived in both Europe and the US, that whole time zone thing is not very complicated for me.
I read someone asked about the Phillipines... I am not sure (have to look it up on internet) but I know that Malaysia is GMT+7 as a good friend of mine now lives in Kuala Lumpur for a year.
Anyway... I am looking forward to this new season. I think the Clips are ready for it. Despite the aging team, Brand, Chandler and Maggette all got better and the other players remained the same. This could be another great run.
Btw, I screwed up my ankle playing soccer. :s I will be in rehab for at least 6 weeks. So no more american football this year and hopefully I will be ready to play basketball again this summer. Also want to go kitesurfing in august, so I need to get better soon. And as being a phys ed teacher... my schoolyear is over. I will sit at home, rest and rehab. So maybe I have time to bring another championship to Clipperland!!!

You should never wait up for a sim. Right now I'm not all that reliable with my schedule (I just got home from work, at 12:56, and have class at 8 am). And probably won't be for the next week (Last class next thursday!).
Sim has been postponed, I'm going to run sim 1 and 2 together and do 20 days tomorrow.

I don't want to sound like a bastard or anything, but maybe it would be better to just postpone SSBA for a while.
It makes it hard when each sim is postponed, and starting off the season simming 20 days is hard as well (especially when a team is experimenting like I am!) If that experiement doesn't work out for me, the damages are now twice as big.
Bods, I know it's not your fault, believe me, you don't deserve any of this blame. But perhaps if we postpone sim one until next Thursday, and then sim 10 days, that might be easier on everyone.
Again, not saying you are doing anything at all wrong, life comes before sim always.

Thanks, but no. I might just not sim 20 days, but I'm not pushing it off for a week. Last night's delay actually had more to do with Work than School (I was scheduled to get out at 6 pm, I left there about 11:15 LOL). The reason I wasn't able to do it right when I got home is because I had an 8 am class, but the reason I wasn't able to do yesterday evening was because a server basically said F you at work and I put in like a 14 hour day.

Well, that sucks, anytime you are putting in a 14 hour day no one expects you to come home and sim.  |

You know, you of all people should want the sim postponed as long as possible...when are you ever going to see your team on top of the league again?  |

Bods, I am with the Raptors on this one. I was thinking about it as I drove to work this morning. The league seems to drag during the offseason but I see no reason to rush the regular season. Simming 10 games at a time works well. And with new players...either through FA or the draft...the first few sims are important for determining who plays well together, rotations, etc.
I realize that ultimately it is your call. The amount of time that you put into this league is phenomenal and I wouldn't trade with you for anything. However I don't see why we need to rush through the season.

Well if Bods didn't overvalue EVERY single player on his roster, it would be alot easier... |

I'm with the others here. Do we have to meet any deadline to finish the season "in time" ? No. So if sims are delayed for whatever reason there is no urgency to "make up lost time". Let's just keep the "10 days a sim" format and push the whole thing back. And we could also go back to "Sim 10 = trade deadline". Extending the deadline with that sim10 till day 99 gives you actually one less sim for experiments before the playoffs start. I'd rather have 3 complete sims AFTER the deadline than two. Just my opinion ... btw, I'm still completely exhausted from zapping through 90 days of box scores last night ... |
