I may have misinterpreted what was being proposed here, and definitely felt like being a dick this afternoon.
So, here's a more rational and thought out dissent to the proposal:
With 0 people having show interest in simming in the last 3 seasons, and the 1 backup nsfl simmer having done no work and ultimately being let go, I don't find it feasible to hire 3-5 people to help with the simming.
On top of that, the file cannot be worked on simultaniously, saves cannot be merged, nor do people necessarily go about the setup the same way. With that in mind, having more than 1 person do the file would probably end up causing more headache than relief due to scheduling and workflow issues.
To add to this, I cannot update the rosters until the updaters add the new rookies to the player sheet, which they can't do until the GMs add them to the updates section, which they can't do until the draft is streamed, which I can't do until infinite makes the draft, which he can't do until the GMs draft, which they cant do until free agency and inactive resignings happen, which is immediately after the ultimus.
Here's how my offseason schedule looks:
Wednesday, Aug 7 - Stream Ultimus
Thursday, Aug 8 - make season schedule, setup file for new season
Wednesday Aug 14 - Stream draft
Thursday Aug 15 - beg GMs to move players to their roster section before Saturday
Sunday Aug 18 - update player file and start fixing rosters (unfortunately I was out of town this time)
Monday Aug 19 - DSFL draft stream
Tuesday Aug 20 - scramble to make rosters viable and record weeks 1-2
Wednesday Aug 21 - take care of IRL shit
Thursday Aug 22 - finalize team rosters, record week 3 (week 4 doesn't work)
Friday Aug 23 - Sunday Aug 25 - use what free time I have to set up initial DCs and fix any other errors the GMs spot
Sunday night Aug 25 - have frick watch as I verify DCs, record week 1
The offseason has been the same length every season except for expansion. It's as short as it can viably be at this point. Now, if you want to say that we shouldnt stream preseason but should still have the time, I'd be okay with that. In fact, not recording could potentially save me about 2 hours and possibly allow me to get my shit done quicker.
