Sorry if I forgot any other programming guru's name off this list. Now that it looks like we have assembled the Dee-Nee and Dah Nah teams, we need to come up with some sort of model that can generate stats for our team. Of course we could just make eveyone dominate, but that would not be indicative of the site.
I propose coming up with something that reflects the amount of posts and/or site contirbutions that each player has done. Obvisouly Gantry would be the league's best player, but it would be deserved. Lips is a moderator so he should be a top player as well. NIghtwolf only has 100 postings but has contributed some great great insights into the RBI programming and even did that music thing that was sweet. Marquis has created some get ROM's so that should be added in as well. Maybe we could have something based on a point system.
+1 point for each post
+30 points for each quality rom
+50 points for discovering something new about the RBI game (programming wise)
+10 points for starting a thread with over 40 posts
+75 points for beating vitb6 in a debate
Of course I jsut threw this numbers out there but if we came up with a system that was reflective of the site it would make for a balanced team. The dee-nee team has some people on it that do not post and they also have some dogs that do not post. Gantry & compnay would have to come up with some way to generate stats for these guys as well.
ANother reason thatcreating a scale might be a good idea is that it might spur on more site participation. If for example we re-did the stats every 3 months, it would give incentive for people to post mosre or come up with more stuff.
Let me know what you guys think is the best way to go about creating stats/abilities for everyone.
Wow, this one might kill me. I have kind of a lot of posts, but no roms, definitely no discoveries in the programming of the game, nobody gives a shit about the threads I start, and, well I'd at least have 75 points because I always beat Vitb like a bitch. (his dog, too)
That system will definately tank me because I'm rom illiterate... hey vitb want to fight? Just name your argument!
....vgp, you wouldn't be a top player, more like a mid level guy. But you have to ask yourself, should you be a top level guy? IF gantry started the site and has the most contribuitions and most posts then obvisouly he is, lets say, at a reggie jackson level. Compared to him how would you rate yourself. 400 posts means you have been here for a while and have contributed alot. You and I would most likely be a gedman type or someother good mid range guy. Last time I checked the middle guys can still hit jacks...
.....as for you doverbi, you haven't been around as long as the others. ALthough you're off to a great start you can't expect to be at a "lips" level. Keep in mind, that if we continue to re-evalute the rom every 3 months, your player if you contribute more and more will get better and better.
..keep in mind, I'm not sure if this is a good way to come up with player stats so if anyone else has something better I'm all ears. I'd figure the programmers might be able to devise a more reflective model than myself.
I think it's good to have a ranking--I'm just not sure this is the best system. Someone like clyon has created many roms, but adds nothing other than arguments about whose is better. (you aren't going to like it clyon, but you just piss me off)
I like the total post and the starting long threads--or discovering something new. I just think any non RBI fan can just come here and create a rom. What do you think?
I agree that it should put less weight towards roms, but I won't lose any sleep if the GDavis player on the rom ends up sucking. I think there should also be points given for digging up hall of shame entries, which I find a lot more interesting than roms.
Do I get credit for beating Vitb in a taco bell debate? I did get him to admit it was grade F meat. Anyone local to NYC knows that Burritoville is the place for quality mex.
QuoteDo I get credit for beating Vitb in a taco bell debate? I did get him to admit it was grade F meat.
That answer is no because I never said that Taco Bell had good quality meat. I just agreed that while the meat was good, its quality sucked ass. So you lose...AGAIN.

Agree and ditto to me.

PALEESE...you're also debating illiterate. Don't embarass yourself. You are probably better off devising some way to create a ROM then taking me on. Stay away.
Quote...well I'd at least have 75 points because I always beat Vitb like a bitch. (his dog, too)
name one thing that you beat me like a bitch. And comments about my dog may get you killed in places like these...watch what you say if you can't back it up.
SUCKA...you see what you got me in. I wasn't going to respond but I had an Animal House flash. On one shoulder the angel..."you're a better person than this...just ignore it. And then the devil..."respond you mother-fucker, these people are punks". I'm torn. ARRGGHHH!
And VGP...your statement about Sweet Lou sucking is borderline lunacy. You just lost debate to everyone on this forum.
I guess if people CAN get points for beating me in a debate, I think it would only be fair for me to get points in people I take down in debates. WOW, I guess I'm the best player in the league. :-)
hey vitb... who is that gay you are using for an icon?
Quotehey vitb... who is that gay you are using for an icon?
So are those fightin' words? And BTW, maybe if you drop your eyes 0.005mm down from my pic you'll figure out who he is SINCE IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE!
yah, i figured that was your main squeeze... i just wanted to see what you'd say :)
Boys, boys, what does it matter who is better on the ROM. What does it matter who vitb's main squeeze is or if anyone can beat him in a debate, or if you get extra points for making ROM's. Sheesh, it is only a ROM. Besides, everyone here, probably couldn't hit a pitch from a pro pitcher or strike out a pro hitter. The ROM is for fun, not for a grudge match between who is better. My main concern is that I will get to see myself playing on the RBI field. That my friends is super sweet!!!

Pretty funny man.

hmmm, isn't admitting that the meat is low quality, admitting that it's bad? You can argue that you like bad quality meat, but just because you personally like poor quality food products doesn't make them good. Lets face it, taco bell meat is half chinese newspaper and half rat anus.
Also, I doubt you have ever tried Burritoville, so it's unfair for you to make a comparison. Around these parts, the debate is between which is better mex, Burritoville or San Loco, and Taco Bell isn't even close to either.
Checkmate!
P.S.
I think we can give doveRBI extra points for having the dancing Megaman icon. It makes his posts seem extra silly and enthusiastic.
LOL, wow looks like I created a firestorm. My bad, but I'm sure the T.O. of the forums can handle it. Vit, you might want to ditch your wrestling avatar for a sharpie avatar.
Back on the topic at hand.... we need to create a model that will help generate some stats. Gantry is obvisously going to have the best numbers. Let's put him at .400 ave and 74 hr. I think t has the fewest posts on the Dah-Nah's so lets put him at .175 ave 1 hr. EVERYONE else will fall inbetween these stats, never going higher than gantry or lower than t. If we have a scale of 1 to 100 t will be 1 and gantry will be 100.
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
100 points = .400 74
90 points = .375 62
80 points = .350 55
70 points = .325 41
60 points = .300 33
50 points = .280 27
40 points = .270 22
30 points = .250 15
20 points = .240 10
10 points = .225 5
1 point = .175 1
* every ten posts = 1 point
* every quality rom = 5 points
* every post that you create with over 20 responses = 5 points
* every RBI dscovery (has to big significant) = 15 points
* participated in an dee-nee sanctioned tourny =5 points
* moderate dee-nee.com = 5 points
* made contributions to the site like helping create information about teams, helping with definition, ect. = 1 point
* have a profile on the dee-nee.com site = 10 points
everyone should tally up their point and see where they fall in the scale. If you have a point total that is 43 they choose some stats that fall between .280 & .270 and 27 & 22. So if you total 43 you can choose to be a .274 hitter with 23 hrs.
I'll use myself for an example. I have 5 topics created with over 20 responses = 25 points. I have 500 posts = 50 points. I have 0 roms and 0 rbi discoveries. My point total is 75 points. My stats would be .333 43 hr
Lets do nightwolf. He explained unknown pitcher rom data, made an arcade rom version in nes format, made the rom editor, and wrote out the music notes for RBI. 4 discoveries = 60 points. He also has 100 posts that = 10 points for a total of 70 points. Nightwolf's stats would be .325 41hr
What do you guys think?
I don't know if Jason has had Burritoville, but I have. There's a Burritoville at NIU (Northern Illinois), where Gantry, Potsie, Sperling, and I went to school. Yeah, sure...there probably isn't any relation between the two Burritovilles, but let me tell you, although it was one of the best foods to eat while being drunk (what isn't?)...it was also one of the worst foods to eat while being sober. I mean, after eating Burritoville, sober once...I never ate there again. The food was just that bad. Of course, I didn't find out the food was that bad...until one of my last semesters.
Add to the mix, that I elbowed a random girl at Burritoville. I totally thought it was Jessie (of the Dee-Nee's), even after three of my friends told me that it wasn't Jessie. Whoops!! The elbow didn't go over too well, with the random girl's boyfriend. It was best not to return to Burritoville: bad food, bad drunken habit.
GDavis you mut be drunk now, if not, you have some problems...
Quotehmmm, isn't admitting that the meat is low quality, admitting that it's bad?
Not in the case of Taco Bell! Although their meat is low quality their steak and chicken is decent, their tortillas and hard shells and the rest of their ingredients are actually pretty good quality.
QuoteYou can argue that you like bad quality meat, but just because you personally like poor quality food products doesn't make them good.
Being a fan of TB doesn't mean I like low quality foor products. BTW the best Steakhouse is Ruth Cris, best Seafood joint is Nick's Fishmarket and best Italian is Rosebud (although this one is debateable).
QuoteLets face it, taco bell meat is half chinese newspaper and half rat anus.
I hardly doubt that the FDA would allow Chinese newspaper and rat anus in any gradeable meat products.
QuoteI doubt you have ever tried Burritoville, so it's unfair for you to make a comparison. Around these parts, the debate is between which is better mex, Burritoville or San Loco, and Taco Bell isn't even close to either.

Ummmmm, what? When has the word Burritoville ever been written by me on this forum? Are you reading the same things everyone else is? I didn't even know what the hell Burritoville was until Lips wrote that it was the mexican place at NIU. Then I remembered that I did eat there twice when I visited them on the weekends. I was not drunk and it was horrid! And I tried it again another weekend thinking that they may have had a bad day...NOPE...it is vial, vial food.
There is no comparison between Burritoville and Taco Bell. The mere fact that you and your buds even argue that TB and Burritoville are even remotely close to the same level, automatically disqualifies your San Loco joint as a viable option to compete with Taco Bell.
Checkmate!!!
sucka free, your proposal for stats makes sense. Of course, I'm slated to be a pitcher, so it doesn't really apply to my "player" anyway. My only request is that you make me a sidearmer (as I am in real life). If I have a 3.55 ERA (that's the max; if it weren't, I'd suggest mine be about 3 times that) and throw 50 miles an hour, so be it - it'll be realistic, if nothing else. I figure I'm enough of a newbie that I have no right to complain, even if I suck.
Also, I was going to try to offer some calming words in the pissing match between vgp100, vitb6, and GDavis, but it's become funny enough that I hesitate to say anything. For what it's worth, I had a couple chalupas at the Bell the other day and enjoyed them, and I've never heard of Burritoville.

Jason, are you still hungover?

GDavis was talking about a Burritoville in NYC, which "probably" has 0 relevance to the NIU Burritoville. I just felt like making the fun comparison...
Yeah, Burritoville is a local NYC chain. Their website www.burritoville.com makes no mention of an Illinois location.
My original contention was that Taco Bell is awful mexican food. This was based on comparisons to other mexican restaurants I frequent such as Burritoville and San Loco. As you have never frequented these restaurants, you have no basis to argue with my statement, just as I can't argue with you about your favorite steakhouse, seafood joint, or Italian restaurant.

I don't understand this statement at all. Me and my buds argue between Burritoville and San Loco. We don't ever add TB to the argument because it's obviously inferior, and no one that's been to all 3 places would ever choose TB as their favorite. Your checkmate statement is flawed. It seems like you're trying to move your rook diagonally.
Sucka, this one's not bad. I kind of like it. I'm guessing I'll have something like 50 some points. .285 29 hrs.
If I have one request, it's to have the same numbers as Tom Brookens. That's close to him, I guess.
Hey GDavis, I'm a fellow NYCer. Burritoville in NYC is real good food, & shouldn't be named in the same breath as Taco Bell.
I try to stay away from all kinds of fast food, esp. the big chains. Although when I do get a craving I head over to Sassy's on 86th & 3rd. It's serves White Castle size burgers but without the nasty WC meat. The fries there are pretty nice - lots of variety, garlic fries, sweet potatoe etc. Although the two best big burger places I've found is Jackson Hole & Cozy Soup & Burger (7th & B'Way).
What's this thread about anyway? ;-)

This might be my favorite thread ever. There are like three different conversations going on at once.
Marquis, I do agree that chain resaturants suck ass. I get chills when people like to go to the Olive Garden for Italian food.
Sucka, I like your rankings especially making it all relative between gantry and t... I will still be a douche but sure to rise through the rankings in future revisions. As for this thread it is awesome. I had no idea there were so many inflamed/flammable egos around here. I just cant wait for vitb's fagatar to try and hook up with vgp's hot girl and get turned down like the tool he is. I'm making a run for the border, Taco Bell for life!
Doverbi, I never knew what to think about you because of the dancing Megaman guy. Now, he's funny--so's the stuff you write. Good job. I think you deserve no less than Bergman ratings.
i do my best to provide a little levity... unfortunately i am sober right now... when i get home from work i will try to put my gameface on aka drink a bunch of red stripe and make ridiculous posts.

Red Stripe? Anything else from Jamaica you got goin on over there? It would explain some of your posts. ;-)
Mike
i wish... i was actually in jamaica about 2 weeks ago, maybe i'm still a little silly from that trip, that or the taco bell meat
all i want is enough points to be brookens...ill post day and night...i dont ask for much....let me konw what i need to do.....and considering im a pitcher...and a complete idiot....id have to say i want enough to be someone like kerfld.....not too impressive...but no burger king either
...This is such a random ass thread. Pretty hilarious though.
...hey vitb6, "ty wigginton". I think I get points for that debate :)
...If everyone agrees to the stat model, just add up your points and send them to this post. I'll update the dee-nee vs dah nah thread to reflect your stats. Please try to use the honor system. Keep in mind that anything can be changed and I'm sure this won't be the only version of this rom. Who knows, maybe we'll make a trade for lips.
Also, the stats for pitchers should be the same as well. This rom will just have some good hitting pitchers. As for the pitching stats, I have no idea....
any points for coining "checkmate!"?
Clearly my character should just be a copy of lou al whitaker. of course, SOME people would rather see that great rbi citizen wiped off the map. checkmate!

gdavis, if you coined checkmate then absolutley you should get points for that. Consider it equal to a post with 20 replies
Actually, we never had a debate on Ty. We just had differing opinions. We both agreed that Ty was the better player and that Jay Bell sucked. I just just thought that Bell would open the season as the starter and you the opposite. Almost though. :-)
all of my points come from my postings...i think this would be number 227.....with that, i hope i could at least get some nasty southpaw stank.....

As far as the dabates go, deciding who wins leads to yet another debate. Let the forum members decide!!
this thread is quite weighty...i didnt notice all the postings before....i would love to debate someone about something....so just fire a topic at me...i also didnt see the revised charts....i think i had 2 postings from way back when with 20 responses...and i have 228 posts...so i think im at a 32 point area...and for a pitcher...im not sure where that leaves me......iregardless...lets quabble....
