These are gonna be some high scoring games:
Here are the 8 players in my starting lineup
C Bench R
OF Mays R
IF McCovey L
OF Dawson R
IF Perez R
IF Hrbek L
OF E Davis R
IF W Clark L
So my question is, do we want to turn off the 10 run slaughter (or maybe increase it)
There are going to be 10 run first innings with these lineups, so if you have a bad first you could be in trouble. The only problem is there will be longer games for whoever is simulating. Maybe we could change the slaugter to 15.
What do people think, Bastardo, what's your feeling?
c Torre
if Mcgwire
if Kingman
if Terry
if
of Baylor
of Dawson
of GBell
b

p Bonny(NRyan nes)
p BGibson
p Sutter

maybe we should do a couple preseason games
For what it's worth, I've been simulating games with NesterJ which allows you to speed it up, so games have been played in usually around 5-7 minutes, but yeah, very, very high scoring (TBT's team once had a 13 HR inning against me).
I'll attach the rom I used and try to update it with the recent picks soon.
I certainly be open to upping the slaughter rule, we could take a vote on it... ...does NesterJ still allow you to score the game while fast forwarding?
This is all going to be interesting.
Realistically, you could score a game while having it on (basically) 2X speed, but you'd really have to be quick with the scoring, you could also pause it after each play, but that may be quite the hassle and not worth it. It seems that a typical game will probably last in the neighborhood of 30 minutes, which is twice as a long as a normal game.
Just food for thought.
As far as the scoring goes, I'll do my best, along with whoever else wants to help run some games once in a while... ...we may want to keep the 10-run in then so that some slaughters do happen and my wife doesn't have to strangle me for watching RBI baseball on my computer until 4 am.
off topic, but re we making team names and jerseys? we should.
I'm for that.
As I've stated, my team name will be The Clubhouse Cancers.
Los Vergudos
i think a 15 run slaughter rule might be better considering the line-ups.
maybe 20, since i been hitting 13 homers an inning. ;D
cant wait to get this stuff started.
oh i almost forgot, my team name is.....
"Nana Funk and the Turd Hounds"
If it interests anyone, I simmed games against everyone else with rosters as updated as the draft has gotten (if there weren't enough hitters I used the last drafted and went back to fill up, I put the drafted pitchers in and then had the pitchers who's NES team you matched up with, I fucked up on Ult's pitchers, but I think that's it)
Anyway, it's in a zip file and I've included the movies from all seven games, the game versus OctoFranco was quite intense, as was the one against ultimate, I also included nesterJ which you can use to watch it in fast forward so it generally takes about six minutes per game and not half an hour (not sure if it'll work on any media players, as I'm at work and it doesn't work on my windows media player)
Anyway, just in case anyone cares. Here it is.
in your sims, how do you think the teams match up (rank 1-8).
Based on how TBT drafts his pitchers, he seems to be the favorite
Putting them into three groups I'd go
TBT/Ultimate
Attezzobal/OctoFranco/OtherRyno
Bonny/Nomaaa/Bastardo
You and Bastardo each have big hitters, but not all the way through like TBT does. You (nomaaa) seem to have the best pitching though.
Just f-ing great, bottom tier of the season preview, how am I to keep player moral up? :-\
Move them from Milwaukee to Atlanta.
glad to hear im getting good reviews by attabozzle...i went thru this crap with a fine tooth comb to draft the team the best powerwise that i could, and fill positions accordingly, so i wasnt lopsided or anything.
hopefully nana funk and the turd hounds can kick some serous ass.
another query here...
if we are drafting arcade and nes players, how will we accomodate the other players from the "real" rbi league (who are only drafting nes players. won't we whomp them (or shouldn't we)?
We aren't competing against the other league
but i thought the two crappiest of their league were eventually joining ours and the two best of ours were eventually joining theirs.
I think that was hypothetical.
Bastardo is trying to run a repeated keeper league with contracts (will see if it works out like that), the other league has been a start from scratch deal each time.
oh, cool beans.
Eventually the new upstart league will snuff out the old timers and win out via the keeper/contract intrigue factor... ...or it will suck and die off after one season similar to the XFL.

Trading for sure, and as long as you are below your cap of $150 mil, it can be any salaries.
I'm thinking maybe the salary cap should be lowered too, what are your thoughts? Maybe down to $145, maybe it really doesn't matter, who knows.
well, if there are $136 million for drafted players, how much will the free agents be? just 1 million? or what. 145 seems like a good number. also, the salary cap won't be that big of a deal, because it would be the players fault for letting stacked teams happen. but i still think that the salary cap is a fine idea. so no trading reggie jackson for spike owen.

And with that said, my pick is..................
Free agents will be driven by the market, bids will be placed on them and total money offered wins out... ...for instance if someone wants Ozzie Smith and they say I'm offering Ozzie Smith 10 mil for 1 year, another team can say, well I will offer him 11 mil for 2 years and they would get him once the bidding is done because of the more total money offered. Not sure if that makes sense.
yeah, it does.
but this doesn't to me...
Quote from: Bastardo on 11/15/05, 04:18:49 PM
they would get him once the bidding is done because of the more total money offered.
does that mean if i offer him 6 million for two years, but someone offers him 10 million for one. does that mean i et him? because 12 > 10? or what. also, is someone the acting commissioner? because someone should probably look over everything. even if it's one of us, one who we can trust, of course.
Bastardo is the acting commissioner, and a damn fine one.
After the time-value-of -money talk regarding cotracts, I think this is a more complicated fantasy rbi league than anyone could ever dream of. And I have lots of dreams about fantasy rbi leagues.
Also, how long has the draft been going on? This thing's reminding me of the 80's babe draft.
2 things, It doesn't really matter what the cap is since we'll all have the same to spend post draft.
(this assumes there is a cap of players, maybe 20, meaning 4 reserves)
Also in many cases we'll be signing players that may not even play so it really doesn't matter that much
i just took wade boggs twice, i'm such a dolt.
basically the cap is for future seasons mainly once these forced 16 million dollar contracts are up (who knows they all could be up next year if we assign 1 year deals) it could become a free for all.
as far as multiple year offers vs. single year offers, total dollar amount counts... ...if you offer John Smith 50 mil for 1 year, that beats out someone offering 48 mil over 4 years (but for cap reasons that 48 can be spread unevenly throughout the 4 years)... ...yup.
OK, that makes sense then for the cap. Is there a roster limit?
Yup, roster limit is 20
this shits gonna make my head swim, but i like it. i do kinda side with nomaaa though and think it woulda been more interesting to just do nes or arcacde, but im a happy guy anyways.
bastardo once you get all the details hammered out can you make a document that breaks everything down. its been talked about here and there thru the 2 threads.
i must poop now.
shit, wait.

so if someone is worth 15 million, are they always worth 15 million?
six of my 14 players are bostonians.
get a load of that.

no, i counted him twice.

According to my records, there is still 1 very good hitter left undrafted (actually more than 1, but this one stands out to me).

I know, I'm just bored and wanted to respond... ...where in hell is Bonny to make his last pick so we can move on!!!! :o
I'm pretty sure there is only one pick left in the draft... ...I will get my $hit together with a sked and whatnot before the holiday and hopefully play a week this weekend.
Shall we post our desired line-ups here or mail them to you privately? Not that there's anything to hide.
My team should have as much stacked power as anyone in the dang league. whether or not thats worth a shit remains to be seen. I managed to find some real gems by keeping pretty good track of everyone drafted.
Anyways, bombs away bitches.....get ready for a slug fest with Nana Funk and the Turd hounds.
almost forgot...i'll fashion up a line-up here tonight and send it to yah there bastardo.
It would be easier if everyone just send me lineups to my message box, so let's go with that.
i'd like to see everyone's lineups and fix mine accordingly. can i do that?
if so, post your lineups here, too.
son of a fuck, i' benching my first pick.
Only 3 lineups are in right now, hopefully I can get them all before the long weekend, but I will start games between the lineups that are in and then work the sked from there on.
Also only two of the lineups came along with years associated to the contracts, remember you need to assign 4 players each to 4 years, 3 years, 2 years and 1 year contracts.
What about FAs? Did we decide not to do that?
I will start a new thread for FA's but we are certainly going to try it... ...I saw that someone put a bid in on a player but it was kind of lost in the shuffle, I will open a new thread then bids can begin.
can i get a link to the attributes/abilities of the arcade teams again.
my sheets are a mess of scribbles now that the drafts over.
sorry about me line-up bastardo, been a hair busy. with no work on thursday, should be able to hammer it out tonight.
are we privy to the other teams contracts lengths and such or is that hush hush?
just curious.
Currently my team looks like this (in line up order)
Mays 4 years $15
Dawson 3 years $13
McCovey 4 years $14
Bench 4 years $16
Hrbek 3 years $11
Perez 3 years $12
EDavis 2 years $9
Wclark 2 years $8
Williams 1 year $3
Murphy 1 year $5
Snider 1 year $4
Bonds 1 year $2
Niekro 3 years $10
Fernando 2 years $1
Hubbel 2 years $6
Gullet 4 years $7
$136
RESERVES:
Hunter 2 years $2.5
Krukow 1 year $1
Borbon 1 year $1
here is the txt of my team and such. look for a team name late this week or early next week.
although off topic, it still belongs in here.
i think i brought this up, but will we be able to edit our team during the season and make roster changes each week as we desire? also, before the start of the season, will we be able to choose the colors of our teams to be placed on the rom?
Yes and Yes.
Here is the intial zip
you the man, bastardo. however, you should open the rom to be edited in nightwulf's editor.
octo's team just pwned my team 14 - 4 in two innings. more preseason to come.
the red sox explosion (my team) over came the attezoballoon experience in a 31 - 22 slug fest. the rse turned it on in the fifth, scoring four runs in each of the next two innings then five more in the seventh and holding the balloons scorless in the middle innings.
Quote from: nomaaa on 11/26/05, 04:32:40 PM

I will do that ASAP.
more pre-season:
other ryno's gang of rbi-ers beat bastardo's squad, in a relatively low scoring contest, 13 - 10. it was close the whole way, but other ryno's offense pulled through in the eighth and kept bastardo's hitters scorless in the nineth.
if you're still interested:
a great game between tbt and octo. a slugfest that was close through-and-through. with only one scorless inning a piece, octofranco had a onerun lead in the bottom of the ninth, when mickey mantle his a one-out three-run walk-off jack. 23-21.
a good matchup between bonny and ultimateseven - until the fifth. with the score 13 - 10, in favor of ultimate, in the top of the fifth, johnny bench hit a grandslam that one could say put away the game. ultimate scored seven more in the sixth and held bonny to two runs in teh bottom of the sixth for the 24 - 12 sixth inning victory.
Fuck all of them...i want a remtach against you...and i want it now!!!!!!
Enjoyable pre-season matchups... ...I will be getting a sked together and hopefully getting everything in order early this week... ...back to work which should help a bit.
You were mentioned in the Simpsons tonight.
No Shit!?! That's enjoyable.
When I created a text file with the ROM, saw this
09 GDvisN RHB .265 31 26 8667 124
Bonny's 1st PH, shouldn't have 8667 power, only "typo" I found.
Okay, thanks for checking, please let me know of any other mistakes, on the brink of being able to start this $hit.
Slowly but surely, 10 game sked is up, www.geocities.com/alrbileague (http://www.geocities.com/alrbileague) click on schedule
two divisions, you play everyone in your division twice and each team from the other division once.
More to come.
work, it does not.

Did you click on schedule? It seems to work for me from work.
ahh, but what teh deuce is wrong with the frame?
You got me, I just threw it up there, I will try to straighten more out tonight, including the Free Agent mess so that games can start by the end of the week.
i'm getting anxious.
Everything is ready to go, the first round of games will be played tomorrow night, just had to get some system issues in order at home... ...League play starts tomorrow!
if we get to choose a team name...
i am the powdered milk men
nana funk and the turd hounds!
Clubhouse Cancers.
i'm trying to modify the rom now, if you guys could give me names and colors (TBT you are poop brown and puke yellow and that's final).

sounds good to me...thank you sir! ;D
I'm bouts to start a game or two right now, I'll try to get all the team names down...
Another thing, my computer is crashing like holy hell with that newer emulator, these games tonight will be run on nesticle, sorry boys, I will try to some how get video other wise just box scores and recaps for now... ...and away we go.
y'know, i know everyone in this league saw my post, yet only two sent me a team name and colors :-(
I gave you my colors in chat, as chosen by my girlfriend.

Black and Blue
if names and colors aren't here by tomorrow, i'll just have to make them up.
(also, ultimate, you didn't give me a name)

Ultimate is probably good enough, if I think of something better, I'll send it.
i have the rom finished, but i am having trouble saving... who knows why? but when i hit "save!" nothing happens. maybe nightwulf can help (please)?
well, here it is. i couldn't save it into the editor, but here you go.
I always had that problem as well, I'm wondering if maybe it has to do with not being the person who originally created the rom.
quite possibly. however, i also had this problem when i imported the rom.
so you probably have to use a default game for it to work correctly.
I may be willing to try to actually run this league now (once the Arcade season is done) if there is still interest. I guess I'd start the season over.
the rom is on nightwulf's editor, i believe.
I'm down.
im down as well, my team rules!
OK I'll plan on starting it in about a month, I'm gonna start the season over, and try to play 1 game per day
awesome. good job.
i don't even remember my team.
American RBI League = Atuk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atuk)
Here is the data from the american ROM that I'll be using. If you want any changes in your team let me know by the end of Thursday, I'm only gonna allow changes a few times during the year to cut back on the amount of work I have to do.
according to that my team is good to go.
Should I run 2 divisions or should I run it as 1 8 team league, similar style as the watch season? I think I should look for the thread where they were placed into divisions.
I like the idea of divisions.
I also like the fact that Ultimate is running the league.
I also like-like Ultimate.
OK here are the 2 divisions
Dee Nee
Ult TBT
Octo Attez
Bastardo Other
Bonny Nomaa
Each team will play the teams in their division 4 times, and the other division twice (20 games which I expect will take 20 weeks). Top team in each division goes on to the world series for a best of 7 championship.
After each set of 4 games you will be able to make line up changes (so 4 chances during the season to make changes).
Here's the ROM we'll use for the season, anyone can check if they want. I set all BOPs to 4 (from 0). I set the slaughter rule to 15 because I think this is a better for this league. Games hopefully to start next week, I'll post the schedule soon
ROM fixed to change McGwire NES's contact for 189 to 18
OK this should be the final ROM that will be used for the first 4 weeks, found another error with Mattingly's power at 885 instead of 855, I didn't fix any of the name typos though.
Also in this zip file you'll find an excel file with Each teams page for stats and schedules, this is the sheet where I'll be updating all the data for the season.
