January 1st, the day of Dee-Nee

[Gantry]

Gentlemen:

I've been neglecting the site too long, and I'm pledging to make January 1st, 2004 the day of dee-nee.  Assuming I'm not too hung over (this is my last Diet Mountain Dew before I hit the Coronas until sleepytime), I tend to spent 6-8 hours working on the site.  Tasks in mind:

1) Revamp all the team reviews, especially the ones Potsie made.  I'll probably rewrite all of those, they are outdated and lack info.

2) Add 5-10 FAQ questions.  Definitely more questions and longer answers on online play, emulators for non PCs, the field length etc.  If you have any questions think should be added to the FAQ, post them here.  Anything will do, I just want more quantity.

3) Dee-Nee RBI videos!  I got my video capture card working, and I haev about 5 hours of footage from this years qualifying tourney.  It's a straight recording of the NES during the tourney, so I hope to make some videos of a BOP, run-in technique, perhaps a glitch or bad plays.  The quality sucks, but it'll be good to figure out.  

4) At least one more RBI Legend page - I'm thinking Steve Lake since I consider him to be the worst player in the game.

So if all goes well, I'll devote the entire day to website work and forum posting...

If there's anything you think should be added to the site or revised, let me know.  I'd especially like a few FAQ quesitons...

Dee-nEE!  Go Gantry!  I am well on my way after drinking 8 warsteiners the beam comes next.  where is the 2%?  i can't wait to wake up at 2pm tomorrow and start another year of dee-nee!

[Gantry]

I'll definitely be adding a Steve Lake and Dave Bergman RBI Legend page, both are worthy.  Be sure and list the FAQ questions people!  And since I'll be on the PC all day, expect a lot of forum posts...

My mohawked RBI friend, I can't wait.  Dee-nee!  Oh yeah, did I mention I saw Rancid and Tiger Army for free?  I'm crafty.

[Gantry]

I'm crafty.

"And you're just my type" - note the quotes, don't read too much...

The mohawk is gone, did the buzz cut for a buddy's wedding.  Very hard to comb down a poorly died mohawk with longish sides.  Looked like I had a tail in back.  Remember those?  I had one circa 1988, mine would curl when it got too long...

[fknmclane]

Like Flea back in the old days?

She's crafty/she gets around.

Again, Gantry matches up with my stupid quotes and references.

[dvldog]

If you have any questions think should be added to the FAQ, post them here.  Anything will do, I just want more quantity.

Where did the terms "dee-nee" and "dah-nah" originate?

[fknmclane]

Listen to Potsie for dee nee, if I'm not mistaken.  The dah nah came from Sucka I'm pretty sure but that's just speculation.

[dvldog]

It'd make a good FAQ, I think.

[Gantry]

Dah-Nah!!  The day of Dee-Nee will be starting a little late, as I am royally hung over and apparently I'm going to do a playoff football draft shortly with Lips, Vit and Sperling....

I feel like ass...

And a FAQ question about deenee/dahnah is a good idea, thoguh they are in teh glossary...

[doveRBI]

I think that the main page should feature a giant label saying WARNING:  It is dangerous and wrong to read or post if you have not read and understood the glossary!

[dvldog]

Maybe the essentials should be on the front page - or a new page for essentials/info for new people... a suggestion

Gantry if you want to find a home for my rom rating how-to, feel free to add it to your site.

Awesome, Awesome site... I hope this is added in the reconstruction... not sure if it was on the links page or not.

[doveRBI]

Gantry, have you considered adding any pitcher rankings since all the players on the rankings page are postion guys.

[Gantry]

The hangover is subsiding, twas quite the doozy.  If anyone tells you drinking Jager out of the bottle is a good idea, smack them...

Awesome page maqruis, I'd love to add it to rbicentral and link it up.   Still too cloudy in the head to read it all the way through, but I'll get to it shortly...

A starting page would be nice, need to figure out how to make it work though..

Gotta break up the FAQ into sections, it's too chaotic.  Organization is key...

[Gantry]

5:10pm and the first entry into the day of Dee-Nee is complete - What exactly is Dee-Nee?  

[doveRBI]

You know it is odd that there were no repeat divisional winners in MLB from 86 to 87.  I wonder how those tengen brainiacs would have handled team selection were that to have occured.

[MarquisEXB]

They'd use the same logic that gave Reggie a previous season's numbers to give ANA a better team.

Quite honestly I'm disappointed that Toronto didn't make the cut.

It would be nice to have Kelly Gruber in RBI...
