Creating New Standards:

[dvldog]

I may just change it to an RBI guy - more traditional and less iritating

[nightwulf]

I can throw together a patch to allow you more than 5 levels of posters without dealing with custom membergroups; how many do you need?

Beautiful!  Was trying to traverse the php, but I quickly gave up out of ignorance...

The only concern about a hand-patch is that it might affect future updates/upgrades to yabbse.  Though apparently this is the last version, as they mightrating to a new codebase.  So the levels would be:

1-49 posts
50-99
100-199
200-399
400-699
700-999
1000-1499
1500-1999
2000+

Nine levels of goodness....

[MarquisEXB]

My suggesions:

1-49 Rafael Santana
50-99 Mookie Wilson
100-199 Kevin Bass or Wade Boggs
200-399 Lou Whitaker
400-699 Wally Joyner
700-999 Chili Davis
1000-1499 Reggie Jackson
1500-1999 Andre"Hawk" Dawson
2000+ McGwire (arcade version)

[Gantry]

I like the list, but can't bring myself to use All-Stars or put anyone above Reggie Jackson.  Mookie Wilson is a good one though...

[Gantry]

Rice above Davis is fine, but the key is to use clear levels between players.  You want the next level to be definitely better than the player below.  Rice and Baylor are too close in ability...

Actually now that I look, Joyner and Chili are close as well.  This is very tough...            

[dvldog]

I suggest to include Rice and Baylor

I would put Baylor between Chilli and Reggie

[Gantry]

Baylor or Rice, either is fine.  So lets do a rough draft

1-49 - Rafael Santana
50-99 - Mookie Wilson or Dan Gladden
100-199 - Kevin Bass or Wade Boggs
200-399 -
400-699 - Lou Whitaker
700-999 -
1000-1499 - Chili Davis
1500-1999 - Baylor or Rice
2000+ Potatoes

So what we needs is a player that is clearly between Bass/Whitaker and Whitaker/Davis.  Let hear them....

[doveRBI]

Can we get a Jesse Orosco level?

[dvldog]

700-999 - Gaetti?

200-300 - McGee?

[Gantry]

I was thinking McGee too, Gaetti is a good one.  So to space out the teams, we have:

1-49 - Santana
50-99 - Gladden
100-199  - Walling
200-399 -  McGee
400-699 - Whitaker
700-999 - Gaetti
1000-1499 - Davis
1500-1999 - Rice
2000+  - Jackson

Nine levels, all 8 teams represented...

[MarquisEXB]

1-49 - Rafael Santana
50-99 - Mookie Wilson or Dan Gladden (I vote Mookie, since Gladden is faster)
100-199 - Kevin Bass or Wade Boggs (I vote Bass, since Boggs is a real life HOF)
200-399 - Pendleton/Grich/Puckett (in that order)
400-699 - Lou Whitaker
700-999 - Glenn Davis/Downing/Joyner/Leonard
1000-1499 - Chili Davis
1500-1999 - Baylor or Rice (Baylor = more power & more speed [136!])
2000+ Potatoes

IMHO

[doveRBI]

I like the representation of the 8 teams.

Yeah, they've been allegedly starting fresh with YabbSE2 for a while though, don't bet on it. Either way, it's not terribly difficult to rewrite a patch for a new version. Made several changes to the PSOZ boards and kept up with 'em.

I'll grab a new copy of 1.5.4 and start playing with it. Gimme a day or two ...

[nightwulf]

Strike that; did some snooping at the yabbse site and maybe they finally are going to introduce yabbse2 (as SMF). It looks similar enough; I'm sure it can be modified as well.

Anyway, I finished the patches. Check your PMs if you haven't already, Gantry.

I cant believe that Darrell Evans isn't represented here.
He's got to be next to Reggie.

[sucka free]

VGP....is that bruce campell as your avatar?

[vgp100]

Yes it is. I was going through the avitars and saw Bruce--I decided to go with a couple of Evil Dead 2 quotes.

[TβG]

what do you guys think about making the levels equal the number of hits an RBI'r got during his career?  a quick baseball-reference.com search should turn up some stuff... can we find someone with so few at-bats though?

[vgp100]

Teddy, you wouldn't even be Raphael Santana.
