No, it's not signing your soul away to the devil. :D
I will offer my services to commish the IHOF to help you guys get it off the ground. When people started mentioning that somebody paid for the software to run this joint, I began to seriously consider giving back a little (assuming some of those same people who pay for me to raise hell here once in a while are in this league).
I think we can get this thing started in a week or so after some league decisions are made and set in stone.
I offer my services with this in mind...
1. There are about 60 actual stage imports that can happen. If we do 2 a week, that's about 7 months a season. Like real life, I'm thinking if you want to go that route, you might want to wait for football season to start again and not play FOF but just watch it on TV!
So I propose a 23 stage season that will cut some corners so it's more like 3 months per season. I can go over this if you want my help.
2. I will want to find out which files will be required for doing a full backup of the league so if I quit or die or get voted out or whatever, at least the league can stay alive.
3. I will push the *.fni and *.fcy (and *.bmp files if you want) for the league consistency. We can use 3ric's method of creating *.bat files to easily switch between "worlds".
4. Any vote will maintain a "majority rule" of 51% to pass.
5. I will not be able to commit time or resources to web page design/updating but will provide space for files to be downloaded from. I will hope that somebody can step up for that, preferably somebody in the league.
6. I will ask that the league members divy out any penalties to league owners and will only intervene if asked.
7. While I am almost always around, I would feel uncomfortable committing to anymore more consistant than a WED/SUN league.
8. All stage files will be sent to me before WED @ 10 Eastern and SUN @ 10 Eastern and I will get the new files uploaded within 24 hours of those points.
9. The league can continue without full player participation. If somebody is unavailable for a week, a month, a full season, the team can either be run by the computer in their absence or left to run in idle mode... obviously, the longer left unattended, the worse off your franchise becomes... but if you miss a few weeks, and it's not the offseason, you should be alright. Basically, the bottom line, is that if somebody falls asleep for a few stages, the league can cruise along. We all have lives afterall and I cannot promise I miss a deadline or two...but no penalty will be dished out for missing stages. End of year votes by the league owners will have to accomplish any of that stuff.
10. I reserve the right to step down at the end of any season, but I will (barring unforseen circumstances) not quit during a current season.
Let me know if you want me to take over for Vegas Vic. I gotta get some sleep and go to work in the morning, but I think I should have some reaction to all of this by tommorrow night.
