Expansion

[dejota]

Why interject something that carries a significant risk of ruining our GM stability?

it's great that we consistently have several potential people on the waiting list, but when you add two more teams to the league that waiting list can evaporate VERY quickly. Having too many GMs and not enough teams is a much, much better problem then having open teams.

From my POV the new GMs to open teams ratio situation doesn't change in the slightest. As had been pointed out repeatedly, there's two lines of reasoning when it comes to GMs leaving: Things nobody can control (life if you will) or putting bad GMs in place who were a liability to begin with.

Expansion in no way affects either of those in itself. The 'Life' situation never changes and falls under the old you can't let fear control you addage. The other aspect is doing a bad job of placing GMs to begin with. That flys directly in the face of the foundation of the very point that's trying to be established. Which is: we got a good thing going...Frankly if Scotty and I weren't capable of finding solid GMs there would be a good thing going to begin with. So I think it's a logical fallacy to play the We've got a good thing going card while pimping the two extra teams as the only real threat expansion presents to the league's integrity.
