1. I am still a proponent of creating a league youtube channel which has all of the streams uploaded. This way we would have historical records of every game simmed (for people without the advanced twitch account or whatever it's called), would help with marketing, and helps make our streams (which sets us apart from other leagues in my opinion) more front-and-center. The name of the game is ease of access to the streams and easy accessibility for those who missed it, aren't on twitch, etc. We don't want our streams to be hidden behind discord/twitch, we should want them as accessible as possible.

2. This may be unique to being a GM but I think I would like the sim file to be updated ASAP, maybe even during the streams and just trust that GMs won't look or spoil anything. I say this because I typically do my testing for the next games in the morning the next day as I am busy with work / school in the afternoons, and I don't think I'm the only one. This gives GMs more time to prepare, leading to less stress and (hopefully) better games. I know back when Er did it the sim file was updated almost immediately after the games, and I know this may be hard for the current HO because of schedules (which is perfectly fine I think). I think personally I would almost prefer if the sim file were uploaded during the streams and just enforce that GMs shouldn't look or spoil anything or they'd be punished rather than have to wait for the sim file. I may be alone in that though, idk.

3. I really like how the league seems to be developing it's own culture, especially between the different teams. Of course, this may create some problems when people start recreating, as they may want to stay with their previous team where they have friends or something. Personally I think this will be fine, but it will create an interesting situation going forward. I also really really like the GM rules summit. I think it's a fantastic idea and we should definitely keep it up. I think giving site users a voice is always a good thing, and it helps the HO with decision making as it gets people that are involved a chance to voice how they think things can be improved. My one issue is that I wish it was a little earlier, maybe during the playoffs rather than offseason, so that the changes can affect the upcoming offseason.
