Ok, Dark Cloud just PMed me what I need to know, so I am ready to go once OOTP 9 comes out and will take a team.

If you want to give me any team in the RL is fine with me, just whatever team looks average talent wise I guess. I would want the team moved to become the Rio Grande Valley Roadrunners. McAllen, TX if a specific city name is needed.

El Paso is now yours. Welcome aboard.

Chief Rum 06-07-2008 05:57 PM

All right, I will join (and be buying OOTP9 when it comes out on June 18--actually pre-order to get the better price).

I am uncaring which team I get. They all seem like fun. DC, if you want to run the teams through a random numebr generator and toss me on a team, will do.

That's assuming you'll take me. ;)

Thanks!

Colorado Rancheros are yours. They give you stuff to work with. Lemme know if you plan to move 'em and to where.

Ben E Lou 06-07-2008 06:00 PM

Excited to see some guys joining up. I think this will be a LOT of fun once we get 16 owners.

JeeberD 06-07-2008 06:38 PM

Man, I haven't played OOTP in a long time, but this league really sounds interesting. Too bad Cringer already stole the El Paso team. :mad: ;)

JeeberD 06-07-2008 06:42 PM

Dola-

Ah, screw it. Count me in. I'll take the Austin team (and most likely move them elsewhere).

Cringer 06-07-2008 06:54 PM

Move Austin to El Paso, technically my team is moving down to the other end of the river. We can have the Rio Series every year. :D


I want the El Paso roster though, I already like the fact I have a 6'7" first baseman. :D

JeeberD 06-07-2008 07:07 PM

Yeah, I'm either moving them to El Paso or somewhere in DFW. Hmmm, how does the Flower Mound Daisies sound?

Young Drachma 06-07-2008 07:08 PM

Flower Mound Daisies sounds awesome. Rock on. You're in.

JeeberD 06-07-2008 07:20 PM

Heh, the Daisies part of that was sort of a joke. But maybe it'll stick. We shall see...

Young Drachma 06-07-2008 07:39 PM

No worries. ;)

gstelmack 06-07-2008 07:53 PM

Fine, I hate you all. I'll take Boston.

How about Pansies?

allpro10050 06-08-2008 05:58 AM

ill take Worcester and move them to Ann Arbor.

muns 06-08-2008 04:42 PM

Im in :) love the concept. Ill take Hartford and name em the Harpooners please

Tellistto 06-08-2008 06:01 PM

I'd like to give this a try as well. I'll take the New York team. Hopefully can learn a lot from doing this, haven't really played seriously since the days of OOTP 4.

Tell

Young Drachma 06-08-2008 06:48 PM

We are on fire. 10 human owners...I fully expect we'll have a full league by opening day!!

Huckleberry 06-09-2008 02:25 PM

I would like to take over the Appleton Foxes, please.

I have OOTP 2007 and have preordered OOTP9. Let me know when I can get going.

Young Drachma 06-09-2008 02:27 PM

You're in. We start June 23rd, the Monday after OOTP9 gets released.

Huckleberry 06-09-2008 02:42 PM

Okay, I will be moving the Appleton team to Austin to replace the departed Aviators.

I would have moved them to Cypress, TX (where I live) except that city is not in the database, I don't think. It's not an official city yet. And I don't want to be in Houston.

If Cypress, TX can be added to the database then I will move them there as the Texas Copperheads. If not, then I will move them to Austin as the Austin Riverbats.

Alan T 06-12-2008 12:29 PM

Is it too late for me to sign up for this? If not I would like to sign up for the Gary team and move them to become the Americus Peanuts (as long as Americus works, if not I will go with the Valdosta Peanuts instead)

Young Drachma 06-12-2008 12:52 PM

Not too late, we won't start for another week and a half. Gary is yours and I'll make the move. Welcome aboard!

Outstanding, thanks!

Ben E Lou 06-12-2008 01:05 PM

AMERICUS FTW!!!

MalcPow 06-12-2008 01:13 PM

Ok, I'm game. Chicago please.

Cringer 06-12-2008 02:34 PM

Three teams in Texas, I love having natural rivals.

MacroGuru 06-12-2008 04:28 PM

Is it to late for signups?

Young Drachma 06-12-2008 04:29 PM

Nope, you can sign up until a week from Monday or until we run out of teams.

Young Drachma 06-12-2008 04:30 PM

LBI and Brooklyn are still available.

MacroGuru 06-12-2008 04:30 PM

Keokuk looks like they are available, can I take them and move?

Yup. They're yours and you can move 'em where you want.

Alright...lets move them to St. George, Utah...call them the St. George Dragons.

Huckleberry 06-13-2008 02:25 PM

So I see from the team list thread that Cypress will be added and we will be the Texas Copperheads. Time to start working on a cap and uniform design.

Young Drachma 06-13-2008 02:39 PM

Here are the teams and their owners. Only Brooklyn and LBI are still without human owners.

Young Drachma 06-13-2008 07:17 PM

I'll make it happen.

Commo_Soldier 06-14-2008 02:50 AM

Hi, I have not played OOTP for a few years, but have been playing BM for since I stopped playing OOTP and was curious if I could have the Brooklyn team? I have already pre-ordered a copy of OOTP 9 and hope to be in a competitive online league before the game is released.

Sure thing. They're yours.

Just was bored a bit tonight, and thought I would work on my logo and colors...

Cringer 06-16-2008 08:16 AM

That doesn't work, my team already has those colors. ;)

So I saw your logo and thought I would see what else is out there for Roadrunners. I had my logo picked out because it is from a former team down here, but figured I would check out others. I found this, damn St. George....

Oh yeah!! Look at that...LOL....

I also had to look them up seeming as I have never heard of them...shocking what was playing about 4 hours away from where I lived. LOL...

Anways, lets the other logo, and if our colors are close, I can change mine, it's no big deal.

Don't worry about it at all. I may not be able to use the logo I had in mind anyways. It seems the team has been gone long enough that I can't find a decent image to use. I am looking at another one, which would lead me towards a different color scheme.

Young Drachma 06-16-2008 09:49 AM

Check out the league file. I found logos for all of your teams that I thought looked decent.

That logo is good for me I think. My only thing is the black hat. Does the logo blend in too much if the hat is the same dark orange that the bill of the cap is? If that doesn't work I guess the black will do.

Thanks DC.

It's fine for me as well, I was just playing around last night as I got some free time due to Fathers Day and I thought I would mess around a bit with it. I am excited as this is my first MP OOTP league,

Alan T 06-16-2008 12:53 PM

I like mine as well. I'm horrible with graphics, so thank you for doing that!
