Very true John; to be honest, before the release was announced it didn't even cross my mind that there would be a significant difference in when the patches came out. Put together with the excitement of finally being able to do something PEBA-related, after so many weeks of waiting, I probably would have made the same decision taht you did, were I commissioner (and owned a PC so I could actually convert the league file ). Like I said the blame largely falls at the feet of the OOTP team--although even there, I can't blame them too much, as I'm sure they wanted to be able to release something, anything, after so many delays.PEBA Commissioner wrote:PC users won't have any advantage because there will be no sim on Wednesday night. I was simply waiting until the morning to send off a mailing informing the group that the sim will be delayed in order to provide time for the Mac patch to be released and Mac owners to thoroughly look through the new file.
Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. It's easy to say that releasing an OOTP X league file was a mistake now. At the time of the release, however, we were being told that a Mac version of the patch was not days but hours away. Clearly that assessment was wildly optimistic. Still, that's the information that was in hand at the time.
Long story short: You make decisions based on the info you have, then adjust as needed. Our adjustment will be to delay our first OOTP X sim.
Anyway, thanks for delaying the sim on behalf of us poor backward Mac folk and sorry to force your hand, as it were.
