Halsey: Had a seasonal contract and just went AWOL for a match.

Does Halsey get his simming average re-adjusted or something, then? Isn't that what happened to someone last year when they were declared inactive and then came back...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that happened to Cribb.

I don't know if his simming averages would have to change that much, given he has officially 'missed one match'. But not sure on the correct answer.vic_orthdox said:

Technically he's only been inactive for one day, so I doubt he'll suffer for it.

Although I don't think Cribb was inactive for eons either...

didnt make the required deadline tho

IIRC, didn't Liam say that Cribb would suffer no penalty due to his inactivity, because it was so brief?vic_orthdox said:Fair call.
I could be thinking of the wrong player though. I'm sure Liam or Hakon will clear it up anyway.

We should probably set up some kind of official ruling.
Either... a person who is declared inactive gets penalised upon their return regardless of how long they have been inactive.
Or... a person who is declared inactive gets a fixed penalty upon their return if they return at any point after missing [number] games.
Or... a person who is declared inactive gets a penalty that reflects how long they have been inactive, eg. miss 1 game, no penalty, miss 5 games, soft penalty, miss 10 games, medium penalty, miss a season, heavy penalty.
I'd rather one of the last two.

This is what happens now. The limits of "soft", "medium" and "hard" are set by judgment tho, no hard and fast rules yet.Loony BoB said:

Agreed. This needs to be discussed.ash chaulk said:

It's not about missing the deadline, it's about the fact that they hadn't been posting for a fair amount of time before the deadline was given! Activity shouldn't need to be given only when activity is being checked. I've got nothing against Halsey or any of those other players, I just think that we should encourage activity throughout the season rather than just to say "Hi bye"new_age_ar said:
As Chaulk pointed out, it's these players that can hold more active people out of the first XI... which is why I still think we should have people post once a day in some kind of 'training thread' which will boost their stats by very small amounts, as that way hopefully in time they will be better than those who post four times a season. Activity = Personal Development would be a wonderful thing.
Loony BoB

No, this would be what I call post boosting. Posts that have no purpose whatsoever. Training thread posts would have a purpose.
A training thread would be productive and all the person would need to say is 'Bat' 'Bowl' or 'Field' etc. and then, say each quarter, their simming stats could be updated to reflect the activity they had shown in that quarter. This would mean that the people who are more active would be able to improve their chances of making the first side ahead of inactive players, which is something we should be rewarding but don't. I remember the days where some of the best players in the Dev League posted only once or twice... luckily, for the most part, those days are gone... but there are still some people who deserve to be better for all their efforts.
Also, since it would only be one post per day in there, it would hardly be post boosting in comparison to the 2-3 posts some people could easiliy make each day in other CW Dev League threads!

Ouch. Don't like that. Still sounds too much another game-esque to me, and besides, people who go away for a week is disadvantaged.Loony BoB said:
If we are to have an activity bonus, better to have some kind of activity panel judged on by captains and the CWBCC - there are some decent numerical measures we can use as a starting point, and work from there.
