IBC Spring Meetings Proposal
Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 3:20 pm
In an effort to increase league activity and get a nice buzz going for Opening Day, I'd like to propose an IBC Spring Meeting - to take place at a yet to be determined date at the end of March or beginning of April - an old-school IBC chatroom session for last minute trading and shit-talking before Opening Day on the 4th.
I'm pretty sure our message board comes with a chat room, which you can log onto at the bottom of the page, so no one should have trouble connecting. I understand that not everyone will be interested or have the time, but even if we got 12-15 GMs, it could still be productive. If anyone has been trying to talk trade, you might notice that not a lot of teams are matching up these days, so it would be cool to get the opportunity to talk some 3-team deals without the negotiations taking 3 weeks.
I'm just throwing it out to the league, and also to the ExCo, because it might mean a lot of trades would have to be entered into the Opening Day dbase at the last minute. Also, if we a large number of GMs seem interested, maybe we could go to an email trading system for a night. I only suggest that because it would allow you to make some conditional trades, which used to happen a lot.
Example:
JP acquires Santana from Nils. 4 minutes later JP deals Santana to me, assuming that his deal with Nils will be approved. It used to happen all the time, and it would be cool to be able to do that again.
Anyone who's interested, let's talk possible dates/times.
