Just to get caught up -

I'm ready to go right away...just got back to school yesterday from vacation at home, so I now have constant internet access again.

I am all for any of the current nominees to be commish, as well as Dutch. And as for HA's questions above...

1) 'Equalizing the Playing Field'
Why don't we talk to someone in one of the leagues that is already up and running about how they have handled this in their league and how it is affecting them? If there's no inherent problems with it, I'd think a straight up poll on the question here in the forum would be the best way to handle this.

2) 'Multiple Licenses for Solo and League Play'
I believe as long as you back up your city names file, and save it elsewhere on your hard drive, you can swap that file with a modified file, and in that manner switch between dynasties without a problem. It would require a cut and paste of two folders to change leagues, much better than wasting a license.

3) 'Test League'
I don't think we learned much, really. Last I checked, we had gotten through the pre-season, but that's about it. I'd propose we get a small group of people (say 3...commish, two teams...maybe more would be necessary) to buzz through another test league really quick to see what's necessary during the off-season and to answer any questions we might have regarding owner absence during that point in the season. If there aren't too many people involved, I can't see it taking more than an hour or two to do it one night if they can hook up on AIM or some other chat method. However, to give us direction, we should set out the goals of this group before hand, i.e. - 'What happens if an owner neglects to send in a lineup during one stage?' This way we know exactly what we're looking for, and can report on it directly.

4) 'Important Issues Preventing Us From Playing'
Off the top of my head, I know of two leagues that are already running that haven't had any major problems...to my knowledge, I don't think there are any major problems facing us, other than Commish, Constitution and Website.
