Just checking in from my (hopefully) well deserved rest.

Hope everyone that decided to play the bonus round is having fun with it and hope that those that decided to "sit it out" can come back refreshed and ready for the draft with new teams and a new season.

I'm in the middle of a gigantic abundant all type game although I am kind of doing it at a relaxing pace. I still seem to manage to get in one of these every other month or so while the MVL is in operation but it is a bit more hectic.

Anyway, I'm starting to look forward to a new season and I hope everyone else is as well.

Reporting in as well. I was in California for almost 2 weeks, so I look forward to playing a few games again. We are still doing a draft, correct?

With the bonus round quickly coming to a close I think it's time to at least begin thinking of the draft and the beginning of a new season.

Probably the first order of business is the captaincy of team B. Marshall has given ample notice of his desire to step down as team B captain and has also made extensive effort to get some current member of team B to step up and take the position.

After multiple posts, here, there and everywhere; there still has been no response by any current team B member. At this point I think it's time to open up the captaincy of team B to any and all league volunteers. It's an opportunity to be the master of your own fate since as captain you'll get to draft whoever you wish.

If there are multiple folks interested then I'm sure we can come up with an equitable selection method. I'd personally be fine with commissioner selection but if folks wish a quick vote, that could probably be arranged.

But we need a volunteer before it can even come to a choice. If no one volunteers, I suggest that Silver merely appoint some deserving MVL member to be the new team B captain. However there should be at least one MVL member that wouldn't mind being a captain and getting to choose his team.

So don't be shy, please reply.

I second Noctilucus appointment.

I'm in.

Count me in!

I'm in.

I'm in.

Perhaps Marshall will check in again himself but he did mention in the Bladerunners thread that besides stepping down for the captaincy he needed to take a break but that he *would* be back at some unspecified date.

Unless someone hears otherwise we may as well assume that Marshall is out for the next round but that his name should at least be provisionally placed on one team or another as part of the draft process.

I'm in.

I've said it before, but I have no interest in being the captain of a team, too much of a time commitment for what I can spend on GCII right now.

Good luck all,

I have tried that before Ghost, i sent many a PM about such things and never heard a response. It certainly does not mean that we should not try again to gain some front page recognition, it would bolster the league greatly i feel.

Course work and vacation are going to knock me out of the next round for sure. After that, it depends. I will be on travel most of August, too. I certainly want to keep my hat in the ring, and will probably be able to join in Round 10. Right now, I'm still in the middle of my first TA metaverse game, enjoying the odd moments I get with it with no deadline. I'll be looking forward to jumping back into MVL play soon.
