Round 10 will start either late this week, or early next week. There will not be a Draft, but there is a possibility that some players may get shifted around, depending on team sizes.
well then I'll just have to call you "Dinour" and really mess with people's heads :LOL:
OK kiddos A few things: We have some restructuring to do for sure over the next few days; some teams may have to prepare for some of their players to get shifted to other teams due to player count. I have received notice that Loupdinour would like to join the MVL, and Dystopic has made mention to me that he is looking to return here soon also. Also, I am announcing the formation of a Administration Support Triumvirate, made up of KzintiPatriarch, DethAdder, and Neilo.
As always, spots are open for a person's eventual return. Well, it looks like we may have to do some minor restructuring but...we'll cross that bridge as we come to it. In the meantime, I hope to get a "One Year Anniversary" thread started here soon, and basically, rebuild our numbers. I am staying on in the interim- as trying as it may be lol-. Anyhow- can someone get me a head count of where we are at currently? KP? Just PM me with it. Thanks,
awesome, LD, teams may end up getting a little shuffled in the next day or two- look for a PM from your team captain coming soon :-) -Silver-
Ok....how about this? I can run and manage a Round 10; but I would like a CLEAR and PRECISE list of nominations for elections to be held afterwards. This week actually is the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the Metaverse League, and it doesn't need to be marred by all this upheaval. As such, how about we play a round; get a clear reading on who wants want; and go from there? I have the time to cover my basic duties- just don't know if i'll be able to get a game in
[quote]To clear up a possible misunderstanding that some of the newer players might have, the commissioner is not some kind of dictator. Basically the commissioner is closer to a referee. The league as a whole discusses what the rules should be and the commissioner merely enforces those rules. Sometimes the commissioner needs to make a decision where we really have no rule to guide us and then he does so but then we would always follow up and agree on a rule that defines how a similar situation
***Note: This is a DIRECT copy of Mumble's score tally from the Tyranny MVL Parliament Thread that is open for viewing to all MVL players*** Team A - The A Team Mumblefratz : Torshiro Mifune - 6 year 125,250 ( 18 - 166 ) - 1 Score BP (1st) AF_Ronin : Captain Adam Ronin - FreeeLancer : FreeeLancer - 2 year 25,200 ( 12 - 88 ) - 1 Speed BP (4th) Ghostwes : Ghostwes - 6 year 26,250 ( 1 - 43 ) PlayJeff45 : Pike the Persecutor - 5 year 33,125 ( 21 - 185 ) * S
@DA and KP: I hope you two have solved whatever it was going on there. There's this part of me that wishes I could make the time to really focus on the MVL and throw my name back into the ring for consideration (talk about an upset haha) Anyhow, I would be glad to be MC and be the primary vote tally. I would like to announce Mumblefratz as my Secondary Vote Receiver. It will work like this: Every current member of the MVL, or announced Sabbatical player
[quote]Following the good example of Neilo and Silver, a replacement for the Team D captain would be needed. If that becomes necesarry, I nominate Ragnar1, should he wish to become the new captain. Also, I assume we would need a new scorekeeper too. Is there anybody who would wish to volunteer? Sentient species taste better...[/quote] Actually, its required that the Commissioner not be a Captain, and that the VC and Commissioner are not on the same team. Glad you decided to
Ok well...we have a few things here then. My "decision" (and I use that lightly) on Jeff's game is on Pg 8 as is my "What it means to be Commish" As for the submissions; if we have one more person move for the motion; I think that looking into what makes a team eligible for the team bonus points; and also do non-submitted games count as "ghost" games tacked on at the end; means we get to have a MVL vote here soon. Please note that these are two separate issues. LOL, h
Have we moved to accept this based on the Consensus Rule? or do we need to have a vote? I think, esp with your above post Mumble, that its pretty well set as it is [quote]In the case where a MVL member has been found to be cheating, being overly disruptive, or detrimental to the League in some form, the commissioner is free to levy the following punishments as he deems necessary and appropriate. Such punishments may include; the loss of a team Captaincy or other MVL Administrative
@Neilo: KP was waiting for a decision by either you or me. With the way I made a "judgment"; The A-Team would have gotten the 2pt Score Bonus anyhow; but now gets all 8 Base points. As a continuation of Mumble's statement in capacity of Rulekeeper- I do want to say that yes, this is an example of the rare, but sometimes necessary, Commissioner's Privilege set out in MVL Rule 1: [quote]Rule 1) Rule changes are not allowed in the middle of a round. If an unanticipated situation
Some of you knew this already, but due to some stuff happening., my schedule became much more hectic, and now I am also leaving for Michigan tomorrow for a job for two weeks taking me away from my home PC. By NO means is Cerulean Sky finished, just think of it as a mid-season break. :D
I am not *completely* lifeless; while I am quite busy (and its summer- the slow time) I do have a Gigantic map in production too. And I hope to get back to the ZYWs eventually. Glad to see us on the Galactic Map finally also. good job everyone -Silver-
Also, for your viewing pleasure: [size="3"]What It Takes to be a MVL Commissioner[/size] Being commissioner is more than just a cool title or even setting up a round every month. It is patience, empathy, rational thought, exuberance, and hard work. In some respects, it is not a difficult job. It only takes about 15-20 minutes to set up the round criteria and get the photos uploaded. And it only takes a few minutes to log into the forums and read up on the latest replies and
From the Desk of Commissioner Emeritus (at least I [I]think[/I] thats my title now, maybe it's just 'Former Commissioner'...hmmm) Silverbeacher I was contacted about some "issues" that arose at the conclusion of this round that needed some help in sorting out. Since Neilo is apparently unavailable for comment, I have come to make the following conclusions. Item I: Round 9 submission by PlayJeff45. It has been an unwritten rule of Neilo, and later myself, that a grace period ha
I would like to nominate Noctilucus for Commissioner if he would be so inclined to accept. He has been a constant presence in the MVL for almost the entire span of its existence and has always been supportive and friendly with players from all teams and experience levels. I hope he considers this nomination seriously.
Thank you everyone for your support and understanding at this time. But, seeing FireBender's current situation, may I move to suggest Neilo, with his role as Commissioner Emeritus, take over Commissioner duties until such time as either a new election is held or some other form of appointment is made?
[size="3"]IMPORTANT NOTICE[/size] Dear My Fellow MVL Players, It is with the utmost regret and sadness, that I must inform you all of my untimely resignation as Commissioner of the Metaverse League. To serve such a short period of time and have to withdraw from that position, is very upsetting to me, and I hate to feel that I have let any one of you down. Due to unforeseen economic situation, I am having to make some major adjustments to my "free" time; which will now
very nice Motti! good job
shiny :CONGRAT:
I follow the Romulan sage advice dearly; as can be seen in my first attempt at a Giga All on Suicidal...sure, I only have five (yes five!) planets while the rest of the galaxy is covered by my eventual vassals; but soon, very very soon, all will crumble and fall before the incredible might of the Krynn Consulate. (No ARC used either)
wait a second...Neilo, didn't you achieve Second Place in the MV, at least for a short time? I'm just wondering because I was sure before that once you had achieved one of the Top Three spots, even if you lost it later, you still retained the "Former" medal; but now the Third Place is showing for you. Which- if you never had 2nd place, makes sense, but I thought you had. Unless....its very dynamic and as long as you're in the Top Three you show whatever medal that is. Once you are no
