I'd like to introduce a debate that involves Paydirt B's tie to Paydirt.
The CC has discussed this and i want to open it up to league. As I've expressed to the CC, Im not happy with the participation level of Paydirt B. Currently there are 5 open teams and 6 counting the team Im trying to repair. Along with the openings their are only a few GM's that are active on the forums. Not only is this unacceptable it is not viable. That league was setup as a stepping stone into Paydirt and a place to go for fired Paydirt GM's to re-establish themselves back into Paydirt. This has not turned out to be the case.
There have been some good ideas presented by the CC on the cause and possible cures for it. One potential cause was that rookie GM's could be getting drowned out by more experienced GM's and losing interest.
A couple of solutions suggested were to make it mandatory for Paydirt B GM's to graduate up when an opportunity arises. Another was to open a "rookie only" league for GM's with 1 yr or less experience with a mandatory gradation up tp Paydirt B after that. Both ideas presented have their challenges with GM participation and retention. But they also have upsides as well.
I'd like to hear your thoughts including from the CC. So fire away.
