Yes. However, I would likely hire one to exploit the system. They would do nothing, the position would mean nothing and we would continue as is. As greasy as it is, it makes sense. Think I'd be the only one doing it? Doubtful. Also, it's no secret to the league that Seattle has a SC. I love these members as people and they're my most trusted group in this league right now. They are basically, in some ways, Assistants truly.. and they do it for free, fun and without an official label.
Does Bana not have 1 AGM, but maybe many?
I'm an incredibly strong believer that if I cannot do the job, step away. Life gets crazy busy for me with this new role at work etc as it does for everyone else but I understand what work needs to be delivered and have managed to do it for almost 5 years straight on this site if you count my VHLM tenure. May 2020 will be my 4 year "anniversary" with the Bears (mark it down). I do it because I love the members and I love the league. My extra efforts and all that jazz, it's showing gratitude to those things.
I am anti-AGM but I would say that I am less so now. I've learned to accept them for what they are. As a leader, I try and grow with everyone else. I'm not perfect in these roles but I give it 110%. I've heard the cries about the Assistant GM role and I've listened as one of the dictator's. That's one thing the M GM's and myself do well. We have no issue lighting the BBQ and turning up the heat, lol. We also hold a GM Summit to discuss league issues and include the GM's as much as possible. At the end of the day, the more people we have contributing/discussing with a common goal of league improvement, retention and enjoyment at heart, the better off we are.
For the AGM role, I don't really think it's much at all in the VHL. I would never get one and I would never want one. It's someone to bounce ideas off, maybe help with Press Conference or very occasionally send in the odd lines when chaos gets a little wild in life. For the VHLM, I've learned to be okay with it. GM's claim it's someone to help them out do the small things like I named above and the GM is teaching them about maybe trades, the league and how to use the programs. Lots of Assistants in the M have been great presences in the Discord as well. I'm sure much similar in their own LR's. This has led to promotion to having their own teams in the M.. The VHLM is a league where players, members, managers and all of the above go to grow into whatever they have potential to reach. It is the first step to the staircase for every member, hehe. Players graduate and become stars or @Acydburn (love you, dog). Members join the league, have strong influence's and become amazing contributors like our very own commissioner, @Beaviss, or BoG members like @McWolf @Rayzor_7 @Enorama @Sonnet etc. GM's grow in that league, learn the basics of what happens, they get the chance to show off their skills/ethics and maybe just maybe make the leap like @GustavMattias and @Peace.
No to an official role. No to official pay... This is my media spot for the week.
YOU WILL NEVER TAKE MY MONEY
