ADDED
It's difficult to narrow down the many things I'd like to add to just one. That said, the one big improvement I want to put in place as fast as we possibly can is an official line of communication. Things are constantly in unsure position. Things aren't updated. People miss @'s. There's chaos and general disorganization in terms of schedules, upcoming events, game times, etc. TWO different GM's missed streams today. Simply because they didn't know the streams were happening already. The players in the league have stated over and over that communication is minimal and lacking.
We need a dedicated communications team that gathers and relays information from the behind the scenes to the public. We need it badly. Adding this will go a long way towards making people feel like they know what's going on and when and increase enjoyment in the league by a ton for a very large percentage of our players.
REMOVED
Ambiguity. That's what I want to remove. It's everywhere. Punishments for infractions. Which things ARE infractions. What people can and can't do. Who's in charge of this. Who do I see about that. When do I get approved? Why do some of my updates say that I can still add stuff for another day while other don't? When is the next stream?
This league functions better when people are generally informed as to what's going on one way or another. The commutations team I mentioned is one facet that can be useful in getting rid of some ambiguity but there are many more. I have a lot of ideas and alterations in mind for this, and one of my two big goals will be removing so much of the ambiguity and consternation that has plagued us the entire time I've been here. I know that may seem a tad generic, for which I apologize.
LIKE
I like the people first and foremost. I have a ton of fun being in and around the NSFL community. I'm having a blast and if I'm doing my shit right, I'm helping other people have a blast, too. We have 100+ people who sign in every single day. And we're just getting going here. That's awesome.
I like the puzzle of running a team. I like a fellow GM losing his mind because my safety caught two touchdowns while making a cameo in my offense. I enjoy figuring out how to make trades that benefit everyone because unlike the actual NFL, this isn't a business and the people we're moving around get a say for the most part. I like the draft podcast where 4 really well informed league guys were so behind on the giant smoke and mirrors show I put up that they didn't even realize I already had 4 solid starters in my secondary.
I like building something. The GMs and HOs can tell you that I'm VERY active behind the scenes trying to work on things to improve the league. The kind of people who see a sim sports league and think "well hell yeah that sounds fun" are my kind of people and I want to do the best in my ability to make sure its better for everyone. In this case that requires building, and I'm enjoying doing it. It's nice to be able to point at things people like and say you had a hand in it, especially when its stuff you're also enjoying with them. That's huge. I mean, when I first explained this to my wife she said "I think you found your tribe." :belly:
