*The Hall of Fame

[37thchamber]

Every year, we need at least 2 people to get into the Hall of Fame.

Do we, though? I mean...

How easy should it be to get into the Hall of Fame? We only want the cream of the crop, not just anyone who put up a good season or two.

...which is how it currently operates. There are 24 inductees by my count. Considering there have been fewer than 12 ballots, what's the problem? I don't think you can realistically argue that there should be more inductees while also saying you want the cream of the crop, personally.

Shit, I'd make the argument some players in the Hall right now maybe shouldn't be.

I want GMs to be able to be inducted into the Hall of Fame (if it ever gets revived).

First of all, @White Cornerback ... apparently your changes have not been well-received.

Secondly, as nice it would be, there isn't an objective measure by which GMs can be entered into the Hall of Fame, like there is with players. It's hard enough getting the voters to agree on players with the objective information right there in front of them. Opening it up to GMs would make this even worse.

Besides, how do you propose we decide who is eligible? What about other members of a team's war room? Shouldn't they also be rewarded for their contributions? I mean, as an example, timeconsumer is one of the best guys in the league for figuring out strats and various things relating to the sim. I have zero doubt that he has been heavily involved in advising his teams' GMs throughout the careers of both of his players, but afaik he hasn't been an NSFL GM. So is he now ineligible for the Hall of Fame? Despite being arguably more worthy than literally any other member on the site?

This is what the "Most Dedicated Member" and "GM of the Year" awards are for, really. It would make more sense to expand the scope of those than to add even more controversy to the Hall of Fame nomination process, imo.
