Participation

[donrnets]

Usually we talk about positive achievements. . .lauding those teams and GM's who perform well.

This Game is most enjoyable because of the participation of the players. We are having a lot of fun because of the efforts of so many who are involved in the game every day.

Most of us wait expectantly for each sim, Free Agency, the Draft, Playoffs, and on into the next season. . .

Today, at 10AM was our deadline for Preseason. . . I know I can't wait to see what happens. . .this is the beginning of another round of fun.

. . .but five teams didn't bother to submit a Depth Chart.

The Kings are on vacation, and perhaps there are other quality explanations for failing to submit the team lineup.

I understand some GM's don't care to write articles or trade. . .but submitting a lineup for each sim seems to be a minimum effort that all participants should be making.

If you're not submitting a lineup . . . .are you still playing the game??

These are the five teams

[color=redOrlando Magic
Indiana Pacers
Phoenix Suns
Portland Trailblazers
Sacramento Kings - announced on vacation[/color]

This is my viewpoint. . . .look forward to the thoughts of others.

There are leagues that kick people out if they miss more than 2-3 DCs in a row...I agree with you that it's a pretty important part of the league to have everyone at least submitting their own lineup.

I watch and couple teams were close to openl but the owners checked in. Pacers is active just usually doesnt post alot, Suns is a good owner ive been in another old league with him for a long time he is just real busy.

Blazers, Magic I am watching this season as those owners are new and most likley to bail.

well, on another participation note, notice how active the trade market is this offseason? we have seen tons of all stars, all league players, and an mvp get traded, and two more mvp's are on the block. this is one of the most tradetastic offseasons we have had.

Yeah Sabonis, Pippen, Dominique, Ewing, Mullin, Roy Hinson, Moses Malone (THREE TIMES!), and some I'm forgetting.

Then future all-stars like Reggie, Nick Anderson, Glenn Rice, etc.

Interesting off-season.

I agree that posting a dc is the minimum, but there are GM's that are active that dont post alot. Such as me. I read articles, trade blocks, and look at stats. So i am on here everday, just dont care to respond to everything.

It has been a very active and entertaining offseason for sure...

[amezoii]

I'm not bailing. I just had an emergency over the weekend that required me to go out of town. I apologize John. My activity will increase.

I have already posted my pre-season sim 2 dc and followed up on pm's.

I get one in 99% of the time, even if it says "same"...
