I have an appropriate back up if he does that
A snapshot of your team colors would be beautiful. Specifically, if you go over to Nightwulfs RBI editor and do it your self so then I don't have to play the guesswork game.

I've have the rom set as far as all the players in position, so when you guys can, please post your rosters, team name, and team colors by Sunday night. The trade deadline will also be Sunday night at 11:59 forum time. I'll make an announcement in the official FRBI Arcade season and rules thread as to whether trades will be allowed after that deadline. I'm leaning no trades for the entire season.
It looks like the errors will be set to 5 for the entire year. It's a good and clean number to keep the randomness alive and at the same time, keep the game clean of furious bops. The mercy rule will probably be 18 runs.
The FRBI Arcade season and rules thread should come by Monday. I need to set up the stat excel sheet and of course, run more sims to get my lineup set.
Opening night will happen next week and I'll try to pump in as many slate of games as I can until I leave for Vegas and Cali - there will be at least 1 day in between slate of games if I go beserk. We should have the FRBI Arcade World Series done right before Thanksgiving or on that weekend which will be my last weekend in the US.
For my games, I'll have to announce the time of my game, start the filming at stated time, open up the file for everybody to see, save the file and send per request for authenticity, and then run the game. I'll certainly do it when I play Shooty's team since he'll whine when the Empire kicks his Shooty butt! If I have Fighton or anyone else run my games, then I gotta wait and wait - no thank you. Plus, it has to be on the Virtual NES platform. But if Fighton wants to run my game, then fine, but I'm not gonna wait around for his lollygagging ass, so if he can't commit to 2-3 games a week at the stated times we can agree on, then forget about that.
I'll experiment with YouTube live and see how that works. And yes, game commentary will happen since I'll be taping the games.
It'll be a 18-game season. No divisions. The top 6 will go the playoffs - top two will get a bye. If anyone has an idea for a play-in scenario, shoot away. I'm thinking maybe the 7th place team can play a 1-game playoff against the 8th place team (SP rotation does not reset), and then another play-in with the 6th place team for the #6 playoff spot.

Ryno and Shooty, okay?
This is the lighter tone of red, Shooty. Which one is better?
And the new look Empire! We comin'!
Also, now that I have seen more games, it looks like the league should be really even for the most part. There are so many stars who'll have big days here and there, as well as pitchers who'll be on and maybe not so on. So I'm seeing a lot of back and forth.
Looks great!
Shooty is wearing the old PBR colors!!!
Beef, yes?

The first screen shot or the second as far as red goes? The tone is different. C'mon son, follow instructions ... meat. Okay, nevermind. I'll post another snapshot with a lighter tone of blue.

Shooty, this should be a winner unless you want to try with nomaaa's version.
Ultimate - do you want a team neam? Otherwise I'll go with U7. And your team color.
Like that but with the slightly darker red

I didn't notice that in the rules, it probably changes my drafting strategy. If that is the way things are, flip Joe and Catfish

u7 is fine. I considered the flying ultimate discs (Fu), but I think I prefer the U7
The rules: "Two different SPs (SP1/SP2) are required and may be drafted at any time. They will alternate starts during the 18-game season."
I think Ultimate should be able to keep his pitching as he wants it. If someone wants to have a reliever pitch up to 4 innings a game, let him. Neikro has great stamina for a reliever but not great for a starter.
It just seems odd that Darky would be so specific about having three distinct outfield positions but then have really lax rules about who qualifies as a SP.

nomaaa, it's a match on the creation page, but when I bring it to the Virtual NES, the color changes.
Fighton's colors seem perfect.
Best round of unis yet imo.
the blues actually look different, as well. everything is coming out warm
maybe try dark grey instead, rather than look like swamp monsters
the feathers are like dark grey/dark brown so i guess either works
I really dislike the all green or all brown look.
The all brown look is at least better than the all green look, imo.
Ryno and I ran some trials yesterday and they went well. So as it stands now, Ryno will run the Empire games, send me the movie file so I can load it in the same rom for that week of games, and then I'll upoload it to youtube.
Let's try and get the lineups in by 11:59 forum time and you'll have up to a day before opening day to make changes.

Awesome, the rom with SP#1 is available to see over at http://nightwulf.rbicentral.com/rbi-editor/ (http://nightwulf.rbicentral.com/rbi-editor/)
Still working on all the lineups on my boxscore sheet as well as the excel file for the stats.
Opening day is looking to happen tomorrow or Thursday. Leaning Thursday for preparations sake. Still forgot to apply for a live channel over at YouTube and that may take a couple of days.
Tempo's uniforms and Nacho's refined version of skin color. Tempo, did you want black skin with the Swedish colors you got going there?
with them actually being black, it looks like they are Sambos. Not exactly the look I'm going for. Did someone else pick the same colors? If so, I can switch. If not, regular RBI skin tone is good with me.

Okay, will fix buddy!
Season opener update.
The way it looks now, Friday seems most likely for the highly anticipated season opener. Need to get confirmed to go live on youtube and sent the request in today. Then I'll need to test that to see if it's doable. Right now, I am still working on the team rosters for the boxscore app and of course for the excel stat sheet. I just finished up working 76 hours in 6 days with the worst sleep one can imagine. So it's been hard to focus on that tedious aspect. However, I am really motivated to run this league and invest my best so that the FRBI Arcade league is a success, highly exciting, and very entertaining. It has been years since I last ran the league, and with the novelty of the Arcade version, I'm gonna be super charged to get everything done and run the league at a fast pace. There'll be some breaks in October when I travel to the Redwoods and visit some friends in the Bay and Orange County, but that'll be it.
I'm going back to the old format with press releases for game summaries and the old school boxscore format. I want to build a narrative for the season as well as for the players and different teams so we have our own Dee Nee theatrical drama. All videos will have my commentary as well. Ryno is set to run the Empire games, so bitch to him when the Empire dominates ;)
The rules and season thread should hopefully be available tomorrow. As it looks right now, I am leaning hard towards the errors set on 6, but it could be that the errors will change from games slate to games slate - from 2 one week to 8 the next and so on. Once Lord Vader establishes the rules, those will be the rules since he is very immovable to alter anything.
I'll think of possible glitch scenarios to solve that as well. May the Force bless the Empire.

That can happen as well only if the Empire benefits and nobody else!
Uniform change for the Dicks. I like the vintage baby blue 80s style colors too much. Here go darky.....baby blue with royal trim.
Blue Balls should be your team name!
Or Blue Ballers
Announcement from FRBI Arcade Commissioner:
The rom is locked for week 1. The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. This league shall be ruled by force and fear.
Swinging Dicks will remain. . .. as tempting as blue ballers is. The older I get, the more dickish I get. The name fits.
Observe your team and lineup. You may change the lineup, but team names and colors are locked. You may look at your team and all teams under the FRBI Arcade I here: http://nightwulf.rbicentral.com/rbi-editor/
I will bump the rules and schedule thread later today. It'll be a reboot with a new schedule and playoff format.

Game time is 3pm as stated on the schedule in the other thread. You have up until 2:45 to get in any last second changes.
Also I'll be posting the stats in this thread and will try to get in everybody's team stats eventually.

Changes done. Also, week 14 is the last week for trades and we are going on week 11 which will be tomorrow. We may reach week 14 by next Sunday - gonna try and pull off 4 slates this week - one slate every other day.
I think I found a lineup change that finally works. I've been changing my lineup the past 4 slates or so. Donnie likes hitting cleanup and with his usual high rate of doubles, this should reduce the double plays that Cey hits into with him following Donnie.

Brock went 5 for 6 and you bench him. Isn't that the opposite of "going with the hot hand"?
Didn't see the new games when I posted this. Poor guy
See the dee nee after dark coronavirus thread.
At 2pm yesterday some rona shit went down for me. Same time darky posted week 11 games.
I get sent away at 2pm. I watched week 10 while waiting to get tested. Was clueless that darky had posted games for week 11.
Following my brain scrape I somehow become concerned with my lineup and make the change at 4pm still clueless that Brock had just had the game of his life.
But what the hell. If darky has made the change I will stick with it. If not I'm cool.
I appreciate darky being such a damn fine commish
Brock stays!
Darky had not made the change.
What pitchers are available from the free agent pool? I think I must have drafted post-stroke JR Richard.
Quote from: fightonusc on 07/28/20, 05:48:29 PM

There is no free agent pool since we have 10 owners which meant all players had to be taken in the draft. The SuperNes league that is on hold had a bunch of extra players since we used two roms and the season you ran in 2018 only had 8 owners which left some players as free agents.
Trade announcement.
DwEvns and an undisclosed shipment of Swedish goods has been traded for Lou Brock.
Our management team received some locker room photos of Evans. We're not proud of the clandestine operations, but the photos reveal Dewey to be well hung.
He will bat 5th for the dicks with Sndbrg taking on lead off responsibilities.
https://youtu.be/CUpwLhZh66A
https://youtu.be/EUnNn3Dl_2U
Swedish shipment verified to the USA. Brock will be on a jet ski to the promised land ASAP. He will arrive before first pitch.

It's done!
Also for the Empire, Donnie will be hitting 2-hole and Hack Wilson will be hitting cleanup - simple flip-flop! I think Hack will hit more 3-4 HR games from the cleanup - just a woo-woo hunch.
Perhaps it's weird to make this move immediately AFTER snapping a losing streak, but I'd like to swap Johnny Mize in for Bill Terry, batting eighth and playing first base. Terry will keep the top PH spot.

Done and both are 1B, so it works. Terry has 8 jacks, but his average is below .400. Mize may turn out to be one of those over achieving players and give you the extra spark you need in the 8-hole! Now is the time to peak gentlemen!
First pitch coming shortly - player stats file.

The Empire/Dicks trade has been completed with the delivery of 10 cans of Sweden's fines snus
There is a shakeup in the Empire lineup! Guidry is getting the ball for game 1. He's elite and throws hard with good location - he also was the top hitting pitcher in the league, so we can use his stick. He was on his way to the top ERA until the last two games in the season. He's regained his form with the time off and fixing some details with his mechanics during his bullpens. Drysdale almost got the nod, but I want him going against Catfish Hunter.
Jody Davis will hit behind Hank Aaron. He's earned moving up in the lineup and I have confidence in his singles ability/bleeding doubles - he almost hit .600 this year and he has a knack for getting the clutch hits. Cey will follow him and we expect Cey to continue his solid hitting and be able to drive in runners on the base. AlDark may be the most dangerous 7-hole hitter in the league as far as getting on base and getting the hits we need. Brock is lethal when on base and if he has a good game, he's a wrecking ball with all that speed.
