OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - ISO Asst GM for transition to takeover

Qwerty75 · 10-26-2005, 02:52 AM

Greetings all,

I'm looking for someone to take over my team in the WHBL, as I'm planning on leaving the league at the end of the season, which is currently at the All-Star break in mid-July. What I have in mind is to take on an assistant GM for the rest of the season, and then have that assistant take over as the full-time owner at the end of the postseason, giving him some time to get acquainted to the league and how everything works.

The links to the league website and the team's page are on my sig. You'd be taking over a top-notch organization, coming off two straight division titles (consecutive 107-55 seasons) and headed for a third. There are major prospects in the farm system (rated 5th-6th in the league by the AI's points system) and multiple first-round picks in next years draft, so you'd be well set-up for the future, as well. Finances are strong with high Fan Interest (currently 98/100) giving the team approx. $10M profit margin at EOY, not including expected playoff revenue. Top players include a former MVP and Triple Crown winner, several past and present All-Stars in the everyday lineup (including a budding 24 y/o star threatening to break the .400 plateau at mid-season), a former Rookie of the Year, and a former Outstanding Reliever award winner in the bullpen. In short, you would be gearing up for the postseason as a co-GM this season, and should expect to have an great hand to work with in getting there for years to come.

The WHBL is on 6.5 (6.12 still welcome) has fictional players and uses talent-only in its ratings display (1-10, 2-8 other ratings). Fairly large league at 32 teams (16 in both North America/South America). $100M salary cap, $35M cash max. It has probably the deepest extra-game stats utility in the OotP online universe (that I'm familiar with, anyway), so a stathead would be in hog heaven with regular updates of EqA, VORP, park factors, dERA, batter BABIP, and other stuff I haven't figured out how to use yet. In addition, there are fun extras such as a gallery of player images, an in-progress league history website, and an active message board with team reports, trash talk, you name it. The commish is top-notch and very open to owner input on changes to the league regarding rules, website content, and anything else you'd like to contribute. We're on a M-W-Sat. 7-8-7-8 sim schedule, with exports due 10 pm CST and sims usually run the next morning. Duties would be light for the remainder of the season (exports 1-2x/week, casual exchange of opinions via PM), but you'd have full control at the end of the season after getting acclimated. We're in our fifth season of existence (current 2004, est. 2000), so there's a nice balance of early history and future growth for the league. The Ospreys (our squad) are still seeking their first title ... you could be the one to get them to the winner's circle.

If you're interested in signing on, check out the league website and look the team over, and then shoot me a PM. In your message, please tell me a little about your experience (if any ... beginners are welcome) in online leagues, GMing style, and any insights into the present and future prospects of the Jacksonville Ospreys and anything else about yourself you think might be of interest. I can also answer any questions about the team/league you might have here. The greater depth of investigation into the league you show in your application, the greater your chances are of getting the post. So, don't lose out on your chance to get your foot in the door of a first-rate team in an outstanding league!

Looking forward to hearing soon from some of the GMing talent out there ...
