What did you decide as far as rules go? Is it a fictional league or what?

SirFozzie
03-12-2003, 10:12 PM
Since the majority (11 of 16 votes last time I checked) preferred fictional players, that's what we're doing

After the signup thread, we'll likely vote on whether to redraft or go with the rosters as they turn out when we get to 2002 (they were neck and neck (5 and 5)

So.. here's the teams we have so far:

SirFozzie (Commish) Franklin Panthers
Shorty Dayton Shellbacks
INDAlltheWay Crawfordsville Athenians
vtbub Burlington Rollers
AgPete Las Vegas Gamblers

5 teams so far, I'm shooting for at least a 12, and hopefully a 16 team league. Swaggs posted on the other post, dunno if he was serious or not.. Oh.. if you need to come up with a nickname/logo, AIM me: (CambridgeForever) even if I'm away so I can add you, and I have over 250 OOTP Logos ready to use :)

Hey, we're up to 10.. we're more then halfway to the goal of 16, but we may go with a larger league if there's enough demand for it..

The League Constitution is complete, and VT is setting up the message board for the league over the next day or two I believe. Once that site goes live, I will post it there. Of course, if anyone wants it before hand, please PM me, or email me or even ask here and I'll send it along, I want everyone's input on this

Vince

Horns, I have to admit, I have extreme misgivings, while I was not a charter member of the RWBL, I'd have to say there is a huge groundswell of anger still with you there, which doesn't bode well here. Let me check with a few of the other owners before I make it official, ok?

Tasan
03-13-2003, 02:29 PM
Well since I've made the decision to buy this now, I want in an online league. I'll be the Dallas Mad Bombers. Icon coming soon, unless someone finds a nice Bomber one.

LMAO There is not a huge groundswell of anger there. There is about 2 or 3 guys that have issues with me, and out of 30 owners that is not very many. I am not banned from there or anything like that, so apparently it is not as bad as you think.

Regardless, I sent you a PM just now. I hope to hear back from you.

I almost didn't say anything and tried to overlook it, but after thinking it through and remembering how angry the whole HM-RWBL fiasco made me, I think I'm going to have to drop out if Horns is in.

I don't have the time or energy to try to re-develop any kind of relationship with HM after the last letdown.

OMG, what a friggin whiny ass baby!

First of all I have no interest in a relationship either, so no worries there. It is really not that hard. You send in a lineup file and I send in one. It is not like we have to live together or something. ;)

Secondly, I made you angry a long time ago. Over the course of two years on this board you have probably made me angry too at some point, but I am not carrying grudges over it. Swaggs, you (and others like you) need to get over this already. You are really starting to look like the little bratty kids who say, "Fine, if I don't get my way I just won't play and I will go home and tell my Mommy you were mean to me!"

Jesus, Dude, get over the hate already, because it is getting really tired now. If you don't want to join the league because of me then don't join. You don't need to start all of this childish propaganda.

The non-blah part of your post is all that I said. Re-read my two sentence post and you will hopefully see that was its point.

No whining, no propaganda, no childish behavior, not an ounce of hate toward you (or anyone else).

SirFozzie

When I say I'm considering it, I am considering it, I should have a decision by tonight, and I, not the owners, will make that decision.

Schmidty
03-13-2003, 06:15 PM
I'm with Swaggs on this one.

I don't have anything against Kyle anymore, other than the fact that I just don't really like him, and don't want to be in a league that includes him.

In my life, I simply try to stay away from people who irritate me. That way, I don't have to listen to myself whine about them. It's just better that way.

cubboyroy1826
03-13-2003, 08:14 PM
Wow i really must have missed something over the last couple of years. I have seen all of you post before and cant say i agree with everything you have said, nor would you expect me to. I cant say i have anything against Horns other than the fact he is a Longhorns fan. Of course i am a Fighting Irish fan so the feeling is probably mutual. I think a little bit of anymosity woudl make the league more interesting. Just my 2 cents for what it is worth.

INDalltheway
03-13-2003, 08:20 PM
It isn't the whole cheating part that irritates me it is the fact that he wouldn't admit it. I am with Swaggs too.

SirFozzie

Very well. After considering the situation that happened in RWBL, and the reaction here Horns, I'm sorry to inform you your application has been denied.

SirFozzie
03-14-2003, 03:05 PM
The SBL (Solecismic Baseball League) Messageboards are up, thanks to Burlington Rollers owner VTBub's graciousness, and hard work, and with all 16 teams filled (we just need a couple team names If I read it correctly), it's just a matter of assigning the teams to a league, and then we'll be ready for the History of SBL Sim, which will hopefully take place this weekend.

The Forums are available Here! (http://www.kb1hkv.net/board/index.php)

Please check out the existing threads, the SBL Constitution will be posted tonight (it's all typed up, but it's on my computer at home) :)

I know I'm going to get flamed for saying this, but I would bet a good bit that HM is still in this league using a pseudonym (cowtown?).

Oh well. I guess you can't hold a good slimeball down.

Tasan
03-14-2003, 04:33 PM
I was thinking the same thing.....Cowtown...Hornsmaniac......thats way too close, and Cowtown joined around the time HM "left" the board for a while.

And I'm not really anti-HM, just looking at what is presented to me.

SirFozzie
03-14-2003, 04:45 PM
Tasan/Schmidty: I checked in on that when cowtown signed up, and the IP's aren't close at all, so if it is HM, he'd have to do some traveling. In this case, I think he's not behind this.

Tasan
03-14-2003, 04:48 PM
Okay great. Just wanted to be sure, i didn't want the league to fall apart in the first week or anything. Apologies to Cowtown and HM for the accusation.

You're welcome to drop in any time :)

Swaggs
03-14-2003, 07:24 PM
For some owners concerned with time and other distractions from the league, forming an ownership group might make for a fun exercise. A sort of mini-group think. This will allow more FOFCers to participate and give us good options for expansion/replacement owners.

My team will be run by myself and Koji, so watch out. :)

SirFozzie
03-14-2003, 07:25 PM

SirFozzie
03-14-2003, 07:29 PM
McSweeney, we are full up on teams, and you'd be #3 on the waiting list.. if we get a fourth owner to step up and indicate interest, I'd be willing to make it a 20 team league

I named the two leagues after two of the three folks who sucked up the most time of mine on the sport sims (Jim with FOF series, Markus Heinsohn with OOTP), and the third has the Championship Series named after him (The winner receives the Vaughn Series Championship :))

I tell you I would rather be a champion in 2003 as opposed to 1953. He he. I will take the 53 title 'cause I probably won't win ever again.

How long do you think it will take to finish the 50 year sim?

SirFozzie

03-16-2003, 01:44 PM
Hmm, I'm still getting '53 on the website...

Also, Fozzie, I'm going out of town for a week starting tomorrow. I'll probably be able to get on line every once in a while, but I won't have access to OOTP. How is this going to affect my team? I guess that I won't be able to submit line-ups and stuff for a while, but I can keep it on the computer default until I get back, right?

SirFozzie
03-16-2003, 01:44 PM
yup

I'll upload after '55 (which I just finished) because it takes about twenty minutes to upload ;)

It's bad mojo ripping off another league - the karma Gods may get you back by letting HornsManiac infiltrate your lea...

D'OH!!!!

Oh, wait, you said posted on the board, not uploaded on the website. I really need to work on my reading comprehension...

Why do I get the feeling this is going to be like an NBA game where the only thing that matters is the final two years (minutes in the NBA of course)? :cool:

Since 55 is still uploading, and doesn't seem to be as fast as I'd like ;)

I've decided to splurge out a little bit, and I've registered a full fledged domain, and hopefully will have some pretty cool web hosting too.

The SBL will be available sometime within the next week or so at: http://www.thesbl.com :)

Update: Thanks to a friend in the web hosting Bizness, the SBL will have the official home at http://www.thesbl.com ,

Since 48-72 hours are needed to set up all the DNS servers, the league is available also at it's IP: http://66.206.26.5

I think that's a good idea. I probably won't check on much of my team's first fourty years other than the years they won championships and any players that dominated the league. I'm interested in the new records the SBL creates and think it will be fun breaking them but the five years before 2003 are what intrigue me the most. ;)

Hawaii has a good team, but the win total has decreased a little bit.

Sheeesh.. Hawaii's a three time GL champion and you complain about the win total? <G>

I can almost understand the need to steal from the best online league in existence. However, if you don't have the meek intelligence to spell the surname Vaughan correctly, you deserve to have your pubic hair individually pulled out.

Dola.. (otherwise known as .. On Second thought..)

Until I visited the FOBL website to see why the knives were out, I didn't know that the FOBL had Vaughan (changed btw :)) and Gindin Leagues, for great ghu's sake it's a league based off people from here on the board.

So Vaughan, Heinsohn and Gindin were logical names, ok? And if one attempts to say I ripped you guys off because the website's the same naming scheme as yours.. I tried several other combos before settling on www.thesbl.com, some were too long.. (can you guess how many "Website is down" complaints I'd get when it's just solecismic mistyped?

I have no grudge against FOBL, I wish them the best, but I hope a few of the folks who attacked me understand that not only no offense was meant, no copying was meant.

Isn't this all just a game? Why the hard feelings?

Sweet, El Paso wins it all in 1960 and yet still has the second best farm system in the league. The future looks bright in El Paso. Hopefully they can hold it together for another forty years...

I don't think there are any hard feelings, really. But it would be considered respectful to at least not use the same league name and award titles as the original FOFC OOTP league does.

I for one wish your league the best, but do wish you'd extend a little professional courtesy. :)
