For new GMs, a bit about the Winter Meetings. This is a non-mandatory live league event which begins at 1 pm eastern time and is held in the PEBA chat room, just click on the "PEBA Live Chat" link in the forums. This event runs for two hours. Every half hour I advance the sim one day.
What happens at the Winter Meetings?
- (Good-natured) Trash talking and general chatter amongst the GMs.
- Announcements that a certain player is being shopped, or that a team has a particular need that it’s looking to fill via trade.
- Announcements of trades between GMs (made by me).
- Free Agency updates every half hour sim.
- GMs announce CP spending, if they wish (the CP spending deadline will be the following Monday).
- Posting of news articles that appear in-game during these sims.
- Rumor-mongering!
Feel free to use this thread to ask any WM related questions, or to get some pre-WM chatter going.
I'll announce the real life date of the Winter Meetings in this thread on Monday, August 21st.
See you all in San Diego!
