Hey there everyone! GM of the FLB here- I would like to give a heartfelt apology as to the silence I've been going through the last few months. Things at the home base have been completely screwed up- I had to go through the stress of the holiday season in my job, and then as soon as that abated I was getting the paperwork together to apply for grad school, and literally a few days after that I was fired from my job. So now I'm in the middle of job hunting/arguing with unemployment while waiting on my interview for grad school.

And to be honest, I should have been posting this when it happened instead of gathering a huge journal. I realize I've been terrible in time management over the couple of years of this project. I can certainly give the excuse that it's been one or two people (thanks Ketch!) doing things, but that doesn't excuse me just up and dropping off the earth once the WWS was complete.


Which comes to now. It's nearly March, I know I still haven't gotten the awards posted from last year (though in a couple of categories it should be quite obvious who won *sideways glance to a particular foxtaur*) I'm late on announcing whether or not there's going to be a draft! I haven't touched base with my GMs to see if i need to replace any!

Ultimately, I need to make a decision. I have grad school that should be coming up in June, and that will put a bit of a crimp on free time- due to the late start it's coming down to these two options:

1. Take a year off, come up with a strike storyline and come back refreshed and ready to have a full 3+ round draft and 2016 season, keep in touch with old and new GMs to make sure that we have all 12 going forward.

2. Skip the rookie draft and play with who we have now, starting the season in July as normal but use the upcoming months to make sure I have the GMs ready, and then go forward next year with free agency, finally letting some older characters retire, and go forward with the 2016 draft.

I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
