    D'oh! They were signed to entry level contracts.

    Also, I shall cogitate on recent discussions. My mind's a bit addled at the moment so I can't give good thoughts about roster size.

    No, that has absolutely nothing to do with you. ;) And everything to do with me, since I created the pandemonium that will ensue. Except that Vos was your character . . . so . . .

    OK, I guess you have a small part in it. You created one of the characters that will contribute to the internal issues. :p

    As for roster size, I still think that there should be a cap on the number of established FA that can be signed by a team (since if one person . . . AHEM! . . . takes half of all the free agents from the pool) :p, then the rest of us are forced to sign new players.

    However, the problem with your solution, Bardan, or at least what I see, is that the ELL FA pool is full of ELL-caliber players. Characters we create theoretically cannot have played in the Elite League in the previous seasons, and thus are not nearly as experienced (or are rookies). So whoever can get all the ELL FA is at an advantage because those players are experienced, while created players theoretically aren't. ;)

    So basically that the rest of us deserve a chance to sign a few people. :p

    It's a tricky situation to navigate regarding the ability to sign vets. I agree with Gunny's characterization. If I look at what I know from the NHL (which I know best of any sports league), even terrible, terrible, terrible teams like the Edmonton Oilers can get players who are vets and have won championships before without spending to the cap. And so can teams that are loaded with talent (who do spend to the cap). So it seems that every team can attract "veteran talent".

    Yet we also come back to the fact that this is still random. Theoretical advantages don't hold. ;) A team of rookies could just own one season *cough*Genet*cough*. Is it true that this debate is kind of just as much about the ease with which teams throughout the league can replenish their rosters without having to invest in chracter creation as it is with the acquisition of veterans for storyline purposes? Or do I have this wrong?

    I think in some way we are overthinking and overcomplicating what is really a very small part of this game. Especially as an over reaction to what is likely a one time event. I say we add the 24 hour claim rule to new free agents and allow for a player claimed by multiple teams to be decided by die rolls/coin flip and just leave it at that.

    Keep It Simple Smarty then. :D

    (Not to distract from the important free agent discussion, but I literally have more head coach candidates than I know what to do with for the Miners. And I have to decide on one of them. Probably today. And I now have even more than I referenced in my post. I am now going to have a Gunny moment. Should I choose:
    1. A head coach with a definite personality that I first thought of...who'd have his own theme song
    2. An interesting head coach, but one who'd be less of a primary player but have awesome cameos
    3. A head coach that I just thought of who I don't know what I'd do with right now, but there'd be potential for things to go every which way
    Oh the pressure!)

    My first instinct is to say number 3 because chaos and unpredictability is awesome. I'm not big on number 1 simply because I don't pay attention to theme songs (I almost never play the soundtracks you guys add to your posts). Number 2, though... it depends on how awesome the cameos are.

    So I would go with 2 or 3.

    I have decided upon the new free agency rules--for this season at least. I'd like to revisit them and see how they work next offseason. Here is the pertinent part from the library thread:

    This sound good to everyone? Or did I miss something?

    As an aside, I am now reopening free agency, which will start off in a 48 hour hold for all players. Some time Sunday afternoon I will try to resolve any multiple requests. Please consult the library thread for the current free agents. And just so you can't all complain you didn't know...

    What Bardan said about determining free agents signing with which team if multiple teams want the same athlete is along the lines of what I was thinking as well. Oh, and where did the Druckenwell Marksmen disappear to? Last I checked they were in the PLL and on the list that CPL had they aren't anymore. They are the Smugglers development team after all....
