+
+Hello everyone,
+
+I, as Commissioner of Leagueopoly, am proud to announce the following:
+
+- Most importantly, **Leagueopoly is coming back for its fourth season**! This season is set to continue the exciting metagame that occured starting last season, and possibly further elevate it!
+- The conference alignments are set! See below for the details on that:
+
+<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Here are the conference alignments for Season 4, coming in the next few weeks! <a href="https://t.co/QmqpBFeRrC">pic.twitter.com/QmqpBFeRrC</a></p>&mdash; Leagueopoly (@leagueopoly) <a href="https://twitter.com/leagueopoly/status/1834393022353584568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 13, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
+
+Let's also discuss what rule changes the Players' Commission has agreed to for this season:
+
+# Rule Votes and Changes
+1. The players voted to approve a proposal (6 yes, 1 did not vote, 1 abstained) that changes the points earned per game to a total of 20, distributed in the following way: 1st place - 10 points, 2nd place - 6 points, 3rd place - 3 points, 4th place - 1 point. This was done to better balance how players are rewarded on a per-game basis, and allow those who get unlucky early on with a better chance of catching up later in the season.
+2. The players voted unanimously (7 yes, 1 did not vote) to modify the point total for 3-player game to add 1 point per placing compared to before: 1st place - 9 points, 2nd place - 5 points, 3rd place - 2 points. The player who doesn't join will still obtain 4th place and earn 0 points.
+3. The players voted unanimously (7 yes, 1 did not vote) to add a new provision to Rule B (Player Pieces) to allow the Commissioner to force a player or players to change colors for a game and/or the season if a color combination is deemed inaccessible. This was done to aid accessibility for Leagueopoly for colorblind players and viewers.
+4. The players voted unanimously (7 yes, 1 did not vote) to add a new provision to Rule C (Trading) that one player cannot bail out another player for three trades within a short timeframe. This timeframe is determined by the Commissioner and/or the Director of Operations on a case-by-case basis, and was done to close a loophole in the rules that was exploited last season to allow players to stay articifically in the game in violation of the spirit of a rule that is made to prevent players who are bankrupt from selling off their properties to someone else.
+
+While not a rule change, the Players also voted on Measure 5 (7 yes, 1 did not vote) to approve the above conference alignment for Season 4.
+
+That's all for now! We'll announce the date and time for the first games of the season as soon as they're available! Thank you for your support of Leagueopoly!
