Warrior General Games

Yes please

Rulers of GLB, please incorporate this.

At least make good on a seasons-old announcement...

Added the ability to view all positions instead of just one. Maybe have a check box for each position as well to allow only viewing several, e.g. HBs and FBs?

Allow players whose contracts end in 5 days (?) or less to post Marketplace ads. Have the ability to filter out impending FAs via the same means as one currently may filter out custom/boost, backup OK, and so on.


One thing I've thought of with this:

You can't receive any offers until you are actually a free agent. Seems like this would only be useful if there was the ability to add notes, etc, to the add.

It would. Would it be possible to provide in the code for impending free agents to receive an offer which would become effective once their current contract ends?

...and what about the rest of it?

i found an exception the NGTH list

i still favor the idea, just posting for fun

Yep. I think that's just there to stem suggestions for closing "rival" forums. I posted this in case anyone forgot about the announcement from a few months ago.

^^This. Bort's said his plan is to eventually get rid of the recruiting forums, we just need the marketplace to be up to speed first or it would leave people without a good way to recruit.

Allow contracts to be sent within 5 days of expiration, only do not allow an "accept" button until FA status is reached. That way, you can still collect offers, and reject them, but obviously not sign with anybody. Is that reasonable?

I think it's reasonable, yes. Or we could provide for offers to be accepted and just not actually take effect until that date with a line to check for any overlap: if(this.end > that.begin) Go.Crazy();

That would involve adding a "start date" to contracts.

This is a great suggestion!
I'd like to propose the following addition to this-


GM/Owner Recruiting Tab (replacing offers sent)

Integrate the recruiting tab with Marketplace so that all GMs on a team can see all of the players
that are being recruited by the team in a tabular, sortable format instead of just offers sent.

In addition, rename the "Send PM" in Marketplace into "Contact" which would still trigger sending a PM to the player,
but then also would keep track of the players contacted in the team's Recruiting page, so that all GMs can also see each player that has been contacted by the team.


Player Recruiting Tab (replacing Contract Offers page)

On the player side, they would likewise have a Marketplace style, sortable tabular view of all teams that have offered and contacted them instead of just the offers page they have now. This would be very effective if you implemented the rest of this suggestion because the player would be able to look at the team's information anytime without needing to see all of the same information in PM format.

You could also allow players to be able to show interest/select finalists out of all of their contacts/offers. Maybe via a checkbox that the player could select and update. This would of course update on both the player and team side so that teams could know whether they were a finalist for a player or rejected before the player makes his final decision.

I really like the ideas suggested here.
