ArmchairGM Hall of Fame - My Ideas
| 12

by user Drpatriot
As many members can remember, the idea of the ArmchairGM Hall of Fame has already been started; mainly here. I think that this was a great idea, and I'd like to get it moving. To do this, I'd like to present my ideas for a formal induction process. My process would move in two stages.
Stage 1
This first stage would not require a large amount of people as a voting base, which is why I think that it could be done immediately. Stage 1 works in poll format (similar to the ArmchairGM User Top 25 College Football Poll). Each position in every sport would have its own individual poll. Users would vote on which players were the top 5 players at their position of all time. These players would have to be retired (debate as to whether current players would be allowed to enter would take place during the second stage). After a designated amount of time, the polls would close and the players finishing in the top 8 or 10 in votes would be inducted into the ArmchairGM Hall of Fame.
Stage 2
Once the preliminary voting has ended, remaining players (retired or not - this can be decided later) that are not in the Hall of Fame would have a voting tab in their player profile, similar to the voting tab on top of an opinion page. If a player receives a required number of votes (based on the # of users of ArmchairGM), he or she is inducted into the ArmchairGM Hall of Fame. Players would not be removed from the Hall of Fame if they no longer had the required number of votes due to the growth of ArmchairGM; when a player enters the Hall of Fame, they stay there.
Concerns
My first concern is agreement; I think I have a reasonably good system set up here, but if people disagree with me than we will need to work something else out.
My second concern is participation; not in participating in the polls, but actually administering the entire idea. If a user is interested in helping administer the Stage 1 polls, enter your name and the section you are interested in helping with in the space below:
Drpatriot: NFL
Rizzo42789:NFL
Demonboy:MLB
Davis21wylie:NBA
My third concern is my considerable lack of wiki-savvy. Stage 1 would be easy to do, but Stage 2 would likely take some work once we decide on a specific process. Ideally, this process would be self-automating, but I'm not even sure if that's doable. Anyone with suggestions, advice or a desire to help with doing this would be appreciated.
