Current State of MFN Ties My Hands

We're 2 games in and we have 2 teams that haven't resolved kicking issues. One team has no punter and one has a kicker but has yet to put him in the depth chart. The Los Angeles owner hasn't logged in since 8/27 and this is his only team...not a good sign.

Not much I can do about it, other than keep sending Arizona PMs until they put their kicker in the depth chart and hope the LA owner decides to log in and take action.

I suppose I could do what I would have done in the past but at this point with MFN, I feel it's better to have a human owner who might take action someday rather than an AI run team. The whole point of booting someone is to get someone else in that would participate, but where would I find anyone? People aren't exactly actively trying to join leagues right now and the real NFL is about to kick off it's season. Demand should be at it's highest now, but we know the story.

Rant over.

I have 2 inactive alt accounts that can sort this. If you get the okay from JDB...I'll login and set the teams straight.

I have an alt account as well, though I forget the password. Anyway, those teams have human owners so we're not going to interfere. Actually I don't think we could change anything unless I boot them, and I'm not doing that.

Actually, I may boot the LA owner if he doesn't log in soon. I'd have to check the dates but not having logged in since 8/27 means he's missed most of the preseason.

I don't have it spelled out in the rules, but all owners are expected to log in regularly and set lineups, etc. It would be different if we were late in the season and he's 1-11 or something, then I could see saying F it until next season. However, we are at the beginning, and if someone doesn't gaf now, what will his attitude be later?

We had a holiday weekend so I suppose a little slack is warranted, but only because replacements are hard to find.

I rarely check how active owners are and JDB usually boots anyone who has been inactive 30 days.

And yes, there are roughly 30-40 owners with multiple teams to recruit from and most are already in the league so unless someone drops their 1 league...recruiting is pointless now
