Regarding other questions, the next week is bad for me for drafting because I'll be traveling to visit my family, and I can chip in with some bookkeeping if you need it.
In.
In terms of scorekeeping, I've used iScore Baseball (https://www.iscoresports.com/baseball/)in the past and found it pretty easy to use. For simulating the games, if you are on a PC then JNES is your best option for recording them and playing them back. I always recommend playing the game through once and then rerunning it when you record so you can pause between ABs and make sure you aren't rushing.
I'll join as well
In
Oh yea. In

Not really.
well we got two more slots, so first come, first serve
Stu might want in again. Shall I ask him?
for sure
updated the first post
if anyone would like to help me put together a draft spreadsheet with all the eligible players, i would greatly appreciate it
In
one spot left ladies & gentlemen
Just texted Stu. He wants the last spot.
cool. stu is in
next will be the draft. i have one week left here before school, so it's kind of a weird time for me rn. i don't remember how we did it in the past, but i feel like it'll be one of those week long drag alongs. personally, i'd rather hold it on a specific night have it only last about an hour or two, but it's up to everyone
Monday and Wednesday nights are wide open for me. Thursday is probably open too
thanks ryno
mondays don't work for me, but the other days do work
I think you just start it now and run it 9am to 11 pm or whatever hours work and give 2 hours per pick
okay word up
i'll get a google sheets together and we can start when that's up
draft is up
as far as the schedule goes, i am thinking we'll have a 13 game schedule.
2 divisions: 2 intra-divisional games per team. 1 inter-divisonal game per team.
tiebreakers:
a. rival matchup
b. division record
c. 2 game aggregate (runs as home team final tiebreaker)
the two league winners will face off in a best of 5 series
My excel file of the arcade version doesn't have positions, just IF/OF. Where can I find all the positions? Are we just going by what's listed on the main site?
Fuck, nevermind, I found it.
i have the schedule almost finished. want to adjust homes & aways so it's all close to even. half the teams will have 6 home games and half will have 7. i'll update this thread as the rules & schedule thread
Any plan to increase the slaughter rule with these offenses?

right now i have it set at 15, but i could easily do 20
Quote from: ultimate7 on 01/10/20, 09:38:28 AM
Any plan to increase the slaughter rule with these offenses?
20 would seem fair, but that would be more scorekeeping time for nomaaa. 10 seems a bit to low for these offenses. 15 might be the sweetspot. All it takes is one big inning by an offense and 1 low scoring inning for a team and the game is over like that.
IMO 15 is high enough
Yeah 15 seems good.
15 it is
That's what she said
geez. she probably would have moaned it. or screamed in agony
Darky is on the metric system, so it works
Any rules on the pitcher alignments? Can we put RP as SP ?
Quote from: ultimate7 on 01/11/20, 09:48:07 AM
Any rules on the pitcher alignments? Can we put RP as SP ?
You should be able to. Although have no idea why you would.
i've been thinking about that, or the possibility of drafting any type of Ps
since we haven't crossed that bridge yet, what say y'all??
No way! 2 SP alternating their starts and two RP doing their thing ... in relief.
Since these hitters will be so good it might be cool to just let people choose 4SPs if they want to.
i'm partial to throwing caution to the wind and letting anything go for pitchers.
use a closer as the opener if you want. doesn't bother me any
I say anything goes for pitchers
I think 2 SP and 2 RP or 3 SP 1 RP is fair, but I don't see why we wouldn't be able to choose the order
there's enough SP for 4 each, so rather than make specific rules, i'm either going to say classic 2sp/2rp or anything goes & you pick the order

Better choose now before we start drafting pitchers.
i'm going to wait a second and see how many are against it. since we didn't enter the draft with these rules, i could see why people would be upset to see them change
however were only five rounds in and i'm doing them a favor by not having the choose a P yet
I like the anything goes. 3/1 is intriguing.
Will we be able to pick up free agents?
Quote from: ryno on 01/11/20, 09:15:02 PM
3/1 is intriguing.

I like this 3/1 idea. Good idea to use the RP1 as a SP for long relief when there is a lead. I strongly feel we gotta have a closer at least so there is a premium and urgency to draft RPs for the sake of that position and as a closer.
Nomaaa, I know it doesn't help and this is your first go as commissioner, but you should have clarified the rules in detail before the draft started. You could have looked at past drafts/leagues to get a good grasp about all the processing and so on But hey, no big deal. We are all happy that you are taking on this league.
Also nomaaaa, please update the draft-spreadsheet page. And we need a decision today before any more pics go through.
okay gents. anything goes with pitchers. 4 starters, 4 relievers, doesn't matter to me the order.
free agents will be available to drop/add during all star week after week 6. no week to week roster drop/add. changing your lineup is fine
darky, if you wanted a pitcher in round 4 you're an idiot
Quote from: nomaaa on 01/12/20, 06:43:11 AM
darky, if you wanted a pitcher in round 4 you're an idiot
haha, where did that come from? Conduct yourself as a commissioner with class! My only point with nothing in between the lines was that it would have been cool and the gang if all the rules were stated from the get-go.
it's all good. i hadn't thought much of the league would like it until we discussed it. it's not just my league but our league, so if i'm gonna put the work in, i want it to be something we all enjoy. im interested in doing something a little different & shaking up some rules to make it different than past leagues. because, hey, it's 2020

All cool nomaaa and I'm on board with the pitching and free agent rules. I quoted you there so people can see the change.
thanks dog.
i was mad busy yesterday and will be again today, but i'll update the sheet when i dit down for breakfast
hey darkside, have you been updating a rbi rom on nightwulf's editor?
i got a new motherboard & ended up wiping my hard drive clean. i'd pretty much have to start from scratch, which is fine. but if you've been doing one yourself, i'd rather not waste the time

I downloaded a bunch of roms to look at players from the nes and arcade version, but I never thought to save a rom on the editor site. Real dumb because now I have to start from scratch since I restarted my computer and didn't think to save a rom. It would have been worthless anyway since it's just a bunch of scrambled players who I wanted to look at and scout.

Do you want to update the first post, it still has 2SP/2RP listed
sure thing
If we do another season, we should set up the draft to take place and finish in one day where we have a 2-3 minute window to make or pick or get skipped. That would make the draft a pressure cooker and really exciting ... and swift!

lol @ only one week
:thumbsup:
I know that expediency in these things is of tantamount importance to many people here for some reason, but why again does it really matter if the draft takes a while?
Also, the idea of a live draft is fun...but if not that, there's no real rush here
i personally find it tedious to have to update the draft list in a 12 hour window every day for multiple weeks
Quote from: nomaaa on 01/15/20, 01:35:11 PM

I think that people would be capable of just checking the thread if you weren't updating the excel sheet very often
Now that picks don't really matter too much, maybe we just skip Stu if he's not willing to give someone his proxy picks?
for real, just send a got damn list to someone
I don't see why all of you draft fascists can't be more contemplative about this. I, for one, think that 3-4 days between picks is entirely reasonable.
So technically Stu is on the clock now. So technically, we'll have to wait two hours before we can skip him. I don't know, if I get up in the morning with my pick hanging, I'm making that pick asap to get the draft going and seeing how it plays out. IT'S GREAT FOR THE IMAGINATION!
Give me about 45...at work with an individual at the gym.

I would like all black uniforms and be named The Empire.

I think I have a good antagonist team name in mind.
Well, if its not going to irritate you, I don't want it.
Well played, sir.

It is now my go-to choice for FRBI colors.
Icon work is optional, if you'd rather just use "BM" rather than recreating my fancy pixel art.
if you went with dirt brown i'd probably go w BM but i can do the beef that's cool
just waiting on stu & ult7
putting together the iscore league rn. I might try to score a game or two of Darky's tournament to get a feel for how easy or difficult doing all the stats will be.

Stu didn't indicate a name, but I can say with confidence that he would want his team to be called the High Fives

I'll go with that team name and use the same team colors he had in 2018.
I'll get the tournament going as soon as possible. We may get in 3-4 games perhaps - two the most. Tomorrow I won't be able to run anything since I am working a day shift at work and the Kommun wifi connection doesn't allow me to go into Dee Nee - Dah Nah!
YouTube game broadcasts. Forgot to mention - 15 run mercy rule.
this is the random generator for teams & divisions
however, i'm contemplating making an executive decision to swap either Pabst or the Old Stylers, which would make the beer teams division rivals
I support the divisional rivalry swap. I looked at the pic before the text and immediately thought, "oh no, i might not play the Blue Ribbons too often."

it would only be one game for the regular season
I was thinking of going tropicana/old style or pabst/high fives and give stu and tempo a chance to play twice as well
I'll update the rom again and give the High Fives a St. Louis style getup.
his jerseys in '18 is what the Canada Shootys will be rolling with, so I'll invert the colors

You must have ran some scout simulations against the Empire since we open up against each other, or received a scouting report from somebody. I've done the sims - the Empire won about 80 percent of the time. We'll start a new set of simulations to counter and play the percentages. ;D The Force is strong again with the Empire ... suckas.

Would Bud Selig or Fay Vincent let a little sickness stop them? No. Bart Giamanti is another story.
We have a good 90% to win against Fighton's LA Star Whackers from the sims I have ran with different pitching rotations and lineups. My pitching gives his guys fits and we saw how Fighton abruptly changed up his lineup and pitching rotation out of fear from the sims he saw and the poor showing in the tournment!
We ready! Nomaaa, I'll send you my opening day lineup shortly.
The Empire is coming...

Yeah, pretty much the same lineup of incels we've had for the last 10 years, recruiting is a bitch
got my cpu and the game up and running. found the newest version of fceux to help with speed control.
gonna try to run some games tonight and see how it goes
week one games are finished.
i'll be uploading videos in due time, but the stream has all the games available for watching.
i recorded the videos in much too large a format, and need to trim them in the future, but in due time i shall make this a more streamlined process.
i'll be back on sunday to post the rest of the games - enjoy the first game of the year.
get me your lineups by friday at noon.
Do we have an expectation that we rotate starting pitchers from game to game? If not, leave my roster as-is. If we are mandating new pitchers, I want a three-man rotation with the top two and Fergie - with a 1-2-4 rotation order (so this game my pitchers would be Jenkns-BGibsn-Sutter-Sutclf, next game Sutclf-Jenkns-Sutter-BGibsn, then back to the BGibsn-Sutclf-Sutter-Jenkns). If that's too much to bother with, I'll gladly just rotate the first two.

ah, yes, i should be clear of my expectations for pitchers. no pitchers will start back-to-back games
for my own clarity, i ask that everyone give me a rundown of their 1-4 each week.
if i don't hear from you, i will simply switch your 1 & 2 pitchers
everyone is free to make any changes they wish 1-4 on a week to week basis, with the only stipulation that your 1 cannot be the same pitcher in consecutive weeks —
exception: week 7 & 8 will be broken up by all star weeki would suggest not bothering to give me a 3 man rotation, bc i will surely forget which teams did and did not agree to do so, and i'm sure some of those things will change for some teams. also, i'll be making changes from week to week, and using my own posts (i.e. "get me your lineup changes by friday") as a sort of bookmark of where the changes begin.
for instance, my pitchers this week will look like:
Viola
J.Key

that way there's little confusion. thank you all for helping streamline this process
attached is the rom for week 2
take a look and see if it flies. i'll probably run the games this afternoon
It's working fine on my virtual nes! The rom looks fit.
Are the games going to be live? Twitch will tell me either way!

beefmaster, do you still want that 3 man rotation?
Sure, if you're willing to do it.
yea no prob. tbh i was expecting like 5 teams asking for it, to which i'd quickly lose track

stats are done. i'll post the rom tomorrow
It seems like a lot of work updating season stats each week in the ROM. It is cool you do it, but I would be fine with just leaving their general RBI stats.
Everyone should watch a game with Beef's team, even if you are not in the league. It is a new type of RBI experience.
If it's the team I'm thinking of, indeed it is
Hurts my eyes with Beef's invisible team.

Same.
okay but do you LIKE the stats in game?
I like stats.

I'll be helping nomaaa scoring games and feeding him the stats so all he has to do is input the stats. Running a league by yourself can lead to burnout - been there and done that! Plus, with my help, there will be no slowdowns or sudden month intervals between gamedays.
thanks again darky
i felt like avg & homers is a good compromise. no opening excel spreadsheets (for y'all), just simple in game reminders. plus i don't have to completely score games. just X, O, H, and S (for sac flies)
AVG and HR is fine.
Thanks guys.
I wanted to see how many triples my team would wind up with.
And how many is it?

You will. Darky has stats that can only be found in the darknet! Really though, I am working on it.
The error 9 setting is playing too big of a role in most of the games. Random errors are part of the game, but consistent errors, game after game, gives too much of an edge to the team who commits even one more error in a tight game and it's game after game. With the strength of each lineup, the 9 error setting only compounds the edge a team gets when the other team makes an error. I just think the error setting is having too much of an impact.
Solutions can be that perhaps the error setting goes down to 6 or 7. Or we randomly rotate the error settings for each game of a gameday. For instance, I can go live video with nomaaa and draw a paper representing an error setting for each game. Or we can draw a paper representing an error setting for week 4. The papers in the hat can range from 4 to 9 for instance ... or 0 to 11 or whatever as long as we can get some kind of changeup to a constant 9 error setting.
Beef, Nacho, Ryno, Shooty, nomaaa, Tempo, Fighton, Ultimate, thoughts?
I'm fine the way it is. More than half the errors are throwing errors that aren't a result of the error setting anyway.
I always prefer a lower error setting. More errors never make the game more fun IMO.
Disagree
highly disagree with nacho
He's the worst
highly agree with gantry
Highly disagree with Shooty.
I disagree with ALL OF YOU
Sounds like everyone agrees with me, good
Makes me no difference
It is the same for everyone, that is all that matters. This is a friggin' RBI fantasy league are we really going to change the set up now because errors have to big of an impact?
Lineups by Thursday
nomaaa has agreed to turn over his league to the Galactic Senate. So the show will go on mi amigos!
More information will be released this week and hopefully by then, I'll have Twitch figured out or any kind of live stream service so all the games of the week can be streamed at once and live.
Records and schedules as well as most other rules in place will continue. There may be a tweak or two with free agent signings and playoff format. This league will happen, so make no doubt about it.
What about the league you were running that you didn't finish? This is weird.
That will be done as well. Either at the same time as nomaaa's league or right after. Or ... I can just get that arcade league going first and maybe give time for nomaaa to get inspired to run his league.
Will download Twitch today. Had to move a lot of stuff over to another hard drive to make space for Twitch on my laptop. If there is something that goes wrong with Twitch, last case scenario is going old school with YT recording but I really want to avoid that since the quality comes out shit and going live is champ.
Downloaded Twitch Studio. It said I had bad hardware. Ran a test video and can't find the quick recorded game. Not sure if I even did it right.
nomaaa, how does this work? I moved the virtual nes box/screen into the Twitch box area when I recorded, then after I hit stop, I couldn't find anything? Tips are needed here.
So I was able to load the Virtual NES into the stream, but then the quality was shit and I had difficulty managing the windows, but that can be solved. However, I may need to buy a new laptop with better hardware to run Twitch if I can't figure out the correct version and software. Well, I gotta drop a couple thousand for my trip home this fall, so although I can afford a new laptop, I don't like dropping all kinds of money at one time. I will spend the day trying to figure out this Twitch shit and see what software I can get to make the stream not skip and be a failure. If that fails, we are going back to YouTube videos where I record off my camera.
Be careful what you stream - the president just got banned from Twitch (https://kotaku.com/twitch-suspends-donald-trump-for-hateful-conduct-1844205430).

lol! I saw that yesterday!
Anyways, I downloaded the Streamlabs OBS software for Twitch. So there'll be a learning curve here with the help of YT instructional videos. nomaaa's help would save tons of time here. The software did crash once and figuring it out is a pain in the butt. I suspect my 5 year old laptop may not be able to handle this efficiently - takes a lot of time to load the software right now and then it freezes here and there.
But that is just one obstacle. I will do my best to see if the live stream can work with Twitch + streamlab on my old laptop. If the call means to go over to YT videos recorded off my Canon camera and then go the old school route, then that will be the call to get one or both leagues going. I'll give this test experiment 1 day before I make the official call.
The streaming software was a critical problem. It decided not to load, yet, the my computer camera was turned on. So that was enough with that experiment - threw it away, along with the Twitch software. My laptop just isn't a good host for that.
So we'll run the Arcade Fantasy RBI League first. The ROM is still available so all that is needed is to redo the schedule and then start the league old school style. I'll reopen or start a new thread for that.
As far as the Super League, that will come after the Arcade league and thus give me time to look into a new laptop capable of running Twitch streams without a hiccup. Nomaaa's league will pick up right where it left off from. The Arcade league will reboot.
There will be a fresh reboot to this Super Fantasy RBI season. Unfortunately, nomaaa no longer has the game files and weeks 2 and 3 were taken from YouTube. However, I am considering using week 1 and scoring them from the YT videos - I'm actually leaning that way ... sort of. Unless you guys want a fresh reboot, then we'll go in that direction with a new schedule. The playoff format will be just like the Arcade season, and the season will be 18 games - no divisions.
There is a huge pool of free agents and I will be working on the pitching list of free agents unless nomaaa can put it back up again on the google sheet tab that he had. I can say now that the waiver wire will be active all year. I can also say that I am dropping Tiant and acquiring Guidry. Also being dropped will be 2B Rizutto while 2B Lmbrdz has been acquired.
The season will begin about 1 week after the FRBI Arcade WS, if not sooner. I just need to get the teams and players into my database as well as the league.
Unfortunately for BeefMaster, his invisible green uniform has been deemed unsuitable for the standards, rules, and regulations implemented by Lord Vader. He gives orders, I follow. So scoring games for BeefMaster's team won't be a challenge.
Beef, can you please alter the invisible uniforms so they can be seen? I just won't be able to take scoring your games and losing track of your players. Sorry. Failure to comply will result with Lord Vader altering your uniforms.

Either count all the games played to date, or none of them.

I can't score all the games since weeks 2-3 don't exist anymore. So they can't be counted and I won't allow games without stats to exist. It doesn't matter to me, but if nobody else speaks up, then we'll just go with a fresh reboot and schedule. 18-game season it will be and as a reminder, same playoff format as the Arcade version. The Super FRBI league won't go as fast as the Arcade league because I'm heading to the US for my annual 6-week vacation starting October 1. So the first month we'll see 2 slates a week, then once I get to the US, it'll be 1 slate a week or every 9-10 days - I'll try and go as fast as I can when I can during my vacation. However, that can go faster depending on my travel plans during my stay and how much I force myself to rest. Then there's football season, so that'll slow things down.
I say just restart from scratch.
Okay, it's done! A fresh reboot it will be! I'm going to do a preview of the season and cover all the teams and players via Twitch and will have it on YouTube. I'll be able to use the Arcade season stats and all the historical stats I have dating back 15 years. The big question is will Mantle report his monster year and will anyone even come close to his 39 HR in 18 games?! I doubt it, but maybe Hack Wilson has a shot if he gets on a magical run like he is now in the Arcade playoffs.
Anyways, will keep you guys updated and rest assured we will start this mother up very shortly. Now it's time for pregame on Twitch for the Blue Foots and Hulksters game 5, 6, and 7.
Darky... fine.
I thought about trying to continue as a weirdo and do half-and-half (field-green hat/bat/flesh, dirt-brown uni), but if it's not already in use, let's just do my hometown's colors: blue hat/bat, white uni, default flesh tone.

It works and looks good - just ran it in a game.
I want to drop Fernando. I love him but can't risk the nando walk fest glutch
bb kings would like to pick him up

No probs there. Do you remember why you erased the entire SP/RP tab on the google sheets page? Would be cool to have that again since it'll save a lot of time on my end. I don't get why you erased all the pitchers taken and available. The batters tab is up. If you don't remember and can't recover the entire pitching list, then I'll eventually take on that painstaking task.

Before I approve all transactions and that we are doing a reboot, you may switch to the NES version of Fernando instead of the arcade version of Fernando. The NES Fernando doesn't have a glitch and the NES version of Fernando is a starter - the arcade version is a relief pitcher. I would like to see the Arcade version of Fernando out of the league due to his glitch.
Ryno will be keeping Nando, and he may take the NES version of Nando since he doesn't have a glitch like the Arcade version. I really don't like having glitch Nando in the league, so I allowed it.

it probably wasn't on purpose. i'll check it out. maybe it's hidden or something
the SP and RP tabs (along with each position) are hidden. i just have to unhide them on desktop. it doesn't work right on mobile
