Hello everyone,
So, this has been one hell of a saga. I cant think of a sim issue more crazy than this, and even now we're still not really sure how things got like this. We've managed to upset just about everyone, and have been put in a very difficult position, where there really is no good option. We have had lots of discussions in HO, GM chat, and just about everywhere else, and we have to come up with what we think is the best way to move forward.
First thing's first, the big question, what are we going to do with the week 1 sim: We will revert the results of week 1 back to the original sim. This is not an easy decision to make. Re-sims are unpopular, shown clearly by the public reaction, even by members of the original team found to have suffered from these errors. Another reason is that every team was affected by these errors. They were far reaching, and we have found at least 6 confirmed teams affected by inaccuracies of some kind. There are other choices to do, but all have issues in themselves. For example, we could have a re-sim of the re-sim, but with people already upset about the original re-sim, a second re-sim would undoubtedly be an unpopular decision. We could do a full season reset, but that would cut into the schedule harshly, and would lead to unaffected match-ups being altered, which would likely upset people. As said before, this is not an easy decision, there is not a good option where no one is sad about what happened, we are just looking for what we believe is best, and this is it.
How will this affect the rest of the week? Week 2 will be postponed, and the NSFL schedule restructured to accommodate this change. Why will week 2 be postponed? because we will be doing a full audit of the sim file player sheet, to make sure all values are currently correct. We do not wish for the same mistakes to be perpetuated, so we will check over the section with the main errors to make sure week 2 is good to go.
Next, we have two preventative measures to make sure an event like this never happens again. First, we will move the updater break week from the main offseason week to the weekend following the ultimus game. Secondly, we will focus on making sure preseason games are streamed every season. With how unpopular preseason has been in the past, we allowed for it to slip under the radar. We will step it up, and make sure this doesnt happen again.
Lastly, what does this mean for future re-sims. We will not have a re-sim for any reason moving forward. It is hard to imagine finding another situation with the sim that has more significance than this one. With us deciding this scenario will not be re-simmed, we almost certainly will not vote for another scenario to have a re-sim.
That is all. Again, this is not an easy decision, I know people will be upset by this, and that is understandable. This is, for lack of a better term, a shitty situation. but we feel like based on the community response and the lack of good options, this is the best thing to do. I typed this up about 7 hours ago while i was struggling to keep my eyes open, so I tried to articulate things the best I could, so hopefully this is easy enough to understand. Sorry for the delay from decision to posting, I wasn't clear about telling other HO members to post while I was asleep
