The first game of the year was supposed to be NY Douchebags @ Empire, but that was delayed due to lineup issues. That will be the next game simmed.
WEEK ONE: Geo Metros @ Nachosen Ones

I see the video quality is crap and the game is too slow. I will adjust those for future games
22 minutes is a lot to commit to.

Also, someone who is so fucking tech savvy should know that you can speed up YouTube videos on your own.
Something else I need to learn how to do is make a custom thumbnail so you can't see what the score is midway through the game before even seeing any of the actual game. If anyone knows how to do that (hello Richard), please let me know

Got it, thanks. The preview on the forums is still showing a mid-game shot, but on YouTube it's showing the logo. I imagine that if I do this right off the bat in the future, we won't have that problem.
I doubled up the speed for that game, so it was okay.
Good pitchers game there, both pens were superb. Nacho had the misfortune of his bottom half of the order up in the 9th. Dawson didn't do much damage and when that's going to happen, the Nachosens will suffer. The defending champs
had a huge day from Eric Davis!
And as a suggestion, maybe just sim the game and then go back and scorekeep so you can stop and start and ensure accuracy. I did it that way for the two seasons I ran. Did the link to the free boxscore attachment work? It is solid, but a bit tedious and time consuming to set up, but clutch once it's all set up.
Jesus fucking Christ. No goddamn bats at all.

Jeez, guy. Calm down.
Hey, it's just frustrating to spend well over 22 minutes working on something that is ostensibly for your entertainment only to have you immediately bitch about a minor problem that you can easily resolve yourself!
After a year of watching lots and lots of 2x-speed games, it's really weird to see a game at normal speed (I haven't played an actual game of RBI since the last Fantasy RBI season).

Is this the first time you've noticed that we can be ungrateful/complainy/ball-busty?
A) Clutch pitching by Kerfeld
B) I like Nacho's early 70's Padres style uniforms.
A little more bitching: Does anyone else prefer having the RBI music on?
I'm going to have a seizure. I increased the video record quality, and the result looks to be a video in which no video was recorded at all, only audio. Trying to see if I can salvage this. What a pain in the ass. I'm pretty sure that NESticle could have recorded video more reliably in 2002 than this modern emulator I am using (Mesen)
False alarm...it worked, thank goodness. But despite encoding at a higher quality, the video still looks crappy. Now taking suggestions for other emulators that will record the video in some kind of a format that YouTube can recognize.
I still haven't figured out speeding up the video afterwards, so just use YouTube's tool for now.

No! It's annoying.
Tempo, the Empire was supposed to be the visiting team according to the schedule, but we played at home. Please edit the next matchup with GDavis so that were are the visitors. We weren't notified of the change, so that kind of threw us off when we were on board the Imperial Star Destroyer headed to the Big Apple. Not much hitting for both teams. GDavis' big guns in the top of the lineup didn't have huge days, and my big guns didn't have big days either. Nobody had more than 3 hits. Both pens were outstanding as well as the starting pitching. Lots of X outs for both teams - the two slowest in the league.
just one game left, right?
i hope the cops know we get diplomatic immunity

Yes. The problem is that I assumed that the schedule made by Ryno listed the home team last, when in fact, it lists the home team first. So all games so far have been done in reverse (include the Beefmaster/Copulator matchup that I have already simmed and need to upload). I'll sim the last game reversed as well just to keep things the same for week one, and reverse those games later on when the second round of matchups occur later on.
Tempo I did weeks 1-9 then copied those same weeks for 10-18 with reversed home / away. You can edit week 10 or just roll with the schedule as is....just change the headings on the spread sheet. My apoloties
No worries. Thank you, sir.

HR HR 2B HR is a hell of a start to the season.
I only watched my game this week, but I definitely noticed the error rate. KILLER two-out dropped popup at one point by the Copulators.

Adds a lot of drama because you can't really tell how close the outfielder is to fielding the ball.
I hate everything.
When I simmed games my team seemed to make a lot of costly errors. Just goes to prove the cops think they can get away with anything
https://youtu.be/SpGPVolCYu8
Please send me any lineup changes via PM before Sunday night
Canseco off to another slow start to the season, wow! 3 Pirates went 0fer, including of course Canseco's twitch! The Summer Classic tournament champions were maybe a bit too drained from the emotional victory in the forced second game of the championship!

tbh, that game was a nice little consolation for getting crushed by fighton twice in nashville
I was going to update the ROM last night, but the RBI Central site wasn't loading. I am going to try and update the ROM and sim all games tomorrow.
I took it down for a bit about 9:30ish that's why. Should be back up...
Started to sim a game, but somehow GDavis' lineup was fucked up with Santana hitting sixth even though the week 1 ROM obviously didn't have that.
My neighbor's stupid fucking dog is yapping through the wall nonstop like it's Kramer trying to get Joe DiMaggio's attention at Dinky Donuts and I have to go bartend at Rabbit's for some stupid reason in an hour and a half.
I'll try and do this again tomorrow.
God speed
Week 2: NY Douchebags at Geo Metros
https://youtu.be/IR9I2ruMT20
Harry Spillman achieved a rare feat in this game - twice
Also, Spillman's season stats were swapped with Rafael Santana's season stats (which are actually nonexistent since he hasn't appeared in a game yet) because of the original lineup goof-up (I had Santana in Spillman's spot when I put in the stats for this week with the ROM). That has already been fixed for week 3
Good low scoring game there!
Nice win by the Douchebags. The lack of speed really showed there, and kept us from breaking things open.
I switched to FCuex for the next game.
Good news: the video quality is normal.
Bad news: the file is massive for some reason. I am uploading it to YouTube, but it's going to take a long time, and it looks like it got split into multiple parts.
Even worse news: The game involves Nacho's team, so I'm sure there will be a lot of complaining about how this isn't the easiest thing in the world to view.
Slightly better news: I am going to experiment with the encoding quality for future games to see if we can strike a balance.
Other kind of bad news: I am leaving the house in a bit, so I'm not going to be able to finish the upload until I get home later.

At about the 15:04 mark, Spillman steps up with Armas at 3B. Spillman hits a deep fly ball to the wall and Armas is hosed on an incredible throw. 118 speed for you! I've never seen a player hosed from the RF wall!
Spillman and Arams are SO FUCKING SLOW. I knew what I was getting into when I acquired them though - trading a few basepath outs for some more dingers.
I don't think I've ever seen someone get thrown out at home that deep
Yeah, so this is annoying...but the only other solution would be to re-sim the game, and I want the sanctity of the experience to be intact

It encoded the avis in what they told me where the maximum quality. Each of the seven files that the emulator created are over 2 gigabytes.
Sorry, they weren't made public. The links should work now
word up
Dead ball era!
Tempo, go back to the live balls for the league :D
The Ones won one! Top nachoice!
At first when I saw two three-minute videos, I assumed mercy rule. Then I saw part III, IV, and so on ... lol.

I watched the Creamy Pirates vs Canada and it was a good game! I saw it right when it came out since I'm a subscriber to Tempo's YT channel. ^-^
Week 2 - Creamy Pirates vs. Canadian Trudeaus
https://youtu.be/varPHxEQYB0
that was fun to watch
Simmed this one last night but didn't have a chance to upload it to YouTube
https://youtu.be/58lhBHlD2uM
Please get any changes to me by Sunday for week 3
No monster days by anyone in the RC-Cops game. The Cops got some production from the 9-hole with 1R and 2 RBI which turned out to be significant because RC's 9-hole had zero production. Good pitching outing by everyone there and a classical low scoring game.
Fighton's team looks real strong - solid all around. The Dee Nee Summer Classic champions are the consensus favorite to win it all.
pitcher hits + old rock city players + me hitting like ass
my boys were packing yayo no doubt - rock & hendu wouldn't get caught dead on base last nite
Wow --- the only dinger for the cops was the difference. Ugly game all around. . . . .Coleman has been a bright spot for sure.
The start of the school year and grad school have put me on quite a time crunch. Labor Day weekend is not helping that. I will be hopefully starting on the next round of games Wednesday and Thursday of this coming week.
How long is this lockout/strike?
Quote from: Shooty on 09/15/18, 07:52:28 AM
How long is this lockout/strike?
Unsure. Right now, my life Monday through Friday is essentially at least a 12 hour day with work, coaching, grad school, and trying to remain reasonably active. I'm not at home for more than a couple hours a day (not including sleep), and even that is sometimes spent doing homework or working on something for work. Plus I am trying to get Stella a decently long walk at night because she's alone so much right now.
Saturdays I usually have a life and do something, so my one day that I have that's reasonably open is Sunday...and I struggle to go through all of this when that's the only time I have. I don't know/care if people are going to get pissy about that or not, but it's reality. You may have also noticed that I am posting a lot less than I do even during other times when school is in session; this is why.
sounds like quite a big undertaking right before skool starts
Just pull the chute on the whole season now like fighton did with the strat-o-matic baseball season or the basketball draft. We have Fantasy Arcade RBI to focus on anyway.
Maybe someone wants to step up and sim the games for a busy Tempo?

#RealTalk
Yeah it's a ton of work. I really appreciate those of you who do this, but I can't keep that kind of intensity going. I couldn't even finish the battle of the bands tournament.
I've really got my hands full with this cereal tournament at the moment.
I would think a doable proposal would be summing games and keeping team stats are posted at end of the game.
Use a common emulator and recording system and a number of us could lend a hand.
If GDavis gives me Tony Armas, I'll run this motha sucka.
I'll give you high-ass instead!
i would be totally fine not having individual stats for tempos league for brevity's sake
people helping people helping people run a fantasy RBI league. . . . .. :'(
If I don't have to do stats, I can probably sim and upload the games fairly reliably. The idea of doing stats for every game (which is very tough to do at game-speed), and then editing the ROM every week was so daunting that I just didn't do anything instead. I give props to anyone who does it, and maybe I could pull off such a feat in the summer time, but it's just not realistic right now.
I don't need stats. Just games, baby.
Boxscores and stats are energy vampires!

To be fair, no one actually believed Tempo.
Well, I just simmed a game and was uploading it to YouTube, when I realized I had Nacho playing the Creamy Pirates and not the Copulators. The screwup was good for Nacho, since he got his ass kicked in the phanton game. I was already simming the next one in order, which I did correctly. I will sim Nacho vs the Copulators next after that.

My strategy of drafting an elite bullpen is not paying off at the moment.
I feel badly about abandoning this. I will try and resume at some point in the future if anybody cares. I don't know how anyone finds the time to run these things with regularity.
So did I win this?
since i'm gonna be at school next semester, i was kicking around the idea of starting one of these up and doing some twitch streams of the games.
i feel like we all love drafting, so we probably would just do that again
