PbP claim lottery
#1

What the fuck is up with posting the claim thread 2 hours before it opens and in a forum that gets drowned out by the other ongoing PbP's and playoff indexes. Let people sign up with ample time to get on a list and then raffle off the PbP spots via lottery.

That is all.

Lol PbP's have been a mess this season in general. I had to send out the Game 5 link for the conference finals because the person whose job it was hadn't done it 13 hours after the sim, god knows how long it would've gone if it hadn't been mentioned. Please get your act together, stuff like this is giving so much weight to the argument that PbPs are a bad thing

I think the whole playoff schedule has been off the entire season. I'm guessing they just needed to get the PBPs organized ASAP, since we're well late into starting the finals. Better circumstances in the future should give more time for other members, I do obviously agree with that.

I enjoy PbPs when my team is in them...I agree this should be a lottery, makes perfect sense

Agreed. The lack of the simming scheduled for games is somewhat annoying too. Some of us can only really take certain games depending on the sim time. A lottery would be a much better system.

That's actually the exact main reason a lottery can't be done.

Some of the users can't do some game at a certain time. How do you run a lottery with this ? Overall, the lottery pros never outweighted the cons and thus is not done.

Concerned enough with user availability that a lottery isn't feasible yet posting a first-come, first-serve thread with 2 hours notice is okay. Our international userbase should all have a fair shot at getting a PbP.

I dunno man. At the very least the PbP claim threads need to be posted with 24 hours minimum notice.

That's what should be changed moving ahead. I understand that the entire schedule this season is whack though, so I can see why they had to rush shit.

Good point, how about making a lottery for a series. Everyone who wants a shot puts their name in, the lottery decides which order you are offered a pbp. If you win and can’t do it at that time then it goes to the next person on the list and you don’t lose your spot, so you get offered the next one. If you do a PbP then you are put at the bottom of the list

Did you see me excusing what happened ? Absolutly not, i wont contredict you on what you just said cause i agree with it. Yes i was concerned with availability when i was doing it. I'll confirm you however it's damn hard to be able to set a proper schedule for it when the two simmers arent even in sync and one of them is as random as it can be.

I did concider it when i was PBP director as well, but it's become a back and forth between the users and create lenght that dont need to exist. If i am expecting X person to do the PBP, i try to contact them, then 5h later they tell me they can't, well i have to pass to the other one, then if the other one also can't i need to keep going down that list and the user actually dont really know when they do the pbp cause it depend how much time it reaches you. It could take a lot of time to finally be able to reach someone to do the pbp. Sure it's one of the worst case scenario, but the fact the director couldnt try to reach multiple people at the time to back up create lenght.

Also, it's a lot much more complicated for every party cause you could be contacted at any time while right now, you know ahead what time to expect your pbp to be.

As long as we can work towards a better system. Something we can implement with you as the next simmer. ^_^

imo I think first priority should be given to users who never did PBPs before and want to do them. same people horde all the PBPs for themselves tbh.
