I'll do this for ya'll.

Vote.

Put your reasoning either direction underneath if you want to.

Then Josh can read the suggestions.

I'm all for - get everybody in early, and sim early
But moving through multiple sims at break-neck after somebody misses, should require at least 24 hours of non-contact.
Maybe auto-pilot can kick in for gms who are checked out for extended periods
But the playoffs should probably be out of those bounds.

I'd rather modify than abolish. Maybe @ gm's who are autopiloting on the DC thread ? So they get a notification and it doesn't put more work on the commish? Or wait for a 2nd inactive sim before autopiloting?

For everyone not in the playoffs it sucks to watch them drag because people just aren't doing anything. I'm ready for the offseason yesterday once my season is done.

I guess for this vote i just abstain.

Yes, at least for Game 7s.

This isn't a big ask.

Auto-pilot turns off for playoffs. No early sims in playoffs unless all DCs are in and confirmed. Otherwise all sims happen at scheduled time. We aren't asking anyone to wait on anyone. Just to have sims at normal schedules times UNLESS all DCs are in or an easy confirmation is obtained. The ask is fair.

If one person feels like the existing way isn't fair it should be looked at, at least. MULTIPLE GMs have been screwed by this rule at this point. It should be no brainer.
