I haven't changed the player name and stats, but I've redone the teams to be kinda like local towns (some ARE. CurtFlood might know a few :P). Just want some input on the colors (and YES, there's a reason for the last two teams' skin colors...) Someone give it a try and tell me what ya think.
[edit: Christ, I can't type today!]
Methinks I get the hint... All I wanted was your guys poinions on the colors before I kept going. No love?
I'm too lazy to look at the rom, but I will tell you that I found the 2nd post to be damn funny.
Thanks Joe. It was a sympathy\whine post after seeing 60 looks and no replies AND being half-asleep. Anyway, I realized I ogutht to work on the ROM anyway and give a full version first.
[Edit: I've got a quickie version done now. And there are some injokes in the names]
After playing this myself, I have come to a few conclusions:
One:Don't use Nessie to get a good color idea. NESten or Nesticle from now on.
Two: I need to come up with a better idea of colors.
Three:I need to do a better job of randomizing the numbers for players (the former Roger Clemens throwing 120 mph? Oops! :-[)
Other than that, I like the team names. Since I'm bored, I'll run down the team names and possible injokes.:
1: Decatur. City in Illinois (best known for the bad Firestone plant)
2: Kansas. Also an Illinois town, don't even remember where it is.
3: Cayuga: Small town in West Central Indiana.
4: Pottst(ow)n: Made up, but has the colors of the Ray Kroc-era Padres unis.
5: Horton: Made up, too. Just wanted to use the default 'Ho'.
6: Newport: Small town in Indiana. Has a military depot for storing VX, which is why everyone has political/miliatry names and are green ;D.
7: Marsh(a)ll: Another Illinois town.
8: Deadwod: Fictionalization of my hometown. Pretty much, there is one ruling family in sports.
9: Linton: Nearby Indiana town. Skin color denotes racial attitudes in this area (and I hate it! :'()
10: Sullivan: Nearby Indiana town (opposite direction from Linton). Skin color for the same reason.
Thanks for your time, and sorry for the second 2x post here. (This is kinda my baby, ya know. ;D)

And the home of one Nightwulf

I think Potsie and I have to play a game of this. Sure he would love to be from Pottstown
A double dose of accidental irony... ;D Honestly, I didn't plan EITHER of those... But it does add a bit of the Dee-Nee touch. (I was gonna have a Dee-Nee Team, but the colors I wanted to use (Ca's colors) were too close to Linton's.) Now, off to make the gamea touch more balanced.
[Update: I changed Horton around and made it a Dee-Nee fourmer team, now to think of a better color...]
[Edit: Apparently you cant add attachments with a simple edit... I'll add it after someone replies :P]
[Edit: Maybe this board is being an ass... Got it to work after a brand new name... :-\]
I fell stupid for doing this yet AGAIN, but anybody think I need to work on my numbers more? Too many power people? Too few? Just want me to shut the hell up and go rape a tomato? I just want to know for sure :P
