[TempoGL]

Why isn't darky on the list?  Didn't he sign up?

[fightonusc]

OOPS. Insert joke about <you are not seeing posts from this user>. I'll update the draft order, etc.

[fightonusc]

Actually, I meant to replace myself with Darky to have an even eight teams, and just forgot to do that. Darky will just take my place in the draft order.

[TempoGL]

Now that that's cleared up, I'll take Andre Dawson

[Darky]

Man, already with the Al Davis treatment! The Galactic Empire will be the Raiders of this fantasy league!

Anyways, FIGHTON - PLEASE ANSWER.

- Would you like me to download the zip files you create for the games so I can put them up on YouTube like I did with the two seasons I was commissioner? I'll speed up the action on the emulator so the games can be viewed in 10 minutes or so. So after you run the games, I can receive the zip files and post them to youtube, if you want.

- How many games will the season be? I ran a 22-game season and I think you ran a 12-game season last time you ran it.

- If you want help with recaps of the games, I can do that.

- I know scoring the games can take time, so I can do some slates if you need help.

- Trades during the season - get that out in the open asap, along with all the other rules such as SP rotations. When I ran the Fantasy RBI league, Starting Pitchers were not allowed to start in consecutive games and relief pitcher were not allowed to start. The idea is to put more strategy into the draft when it came to pitching and of course make the season closer to reality with SP's having a 2-man rotation.

[Shooty]

The Over/Under for fighton is 3.5

[fightonusc]

- I'm pretty sure I can handle getting the files onto YouTube.

- Each team plays each other two times. One division, top four advance to playoffs.

- Recaps are the most fun for me to do. I'll certainly keep your offer for help with scoring in mind.

- I like the idea of having to swap SPs every game. And I've never allowed RPs to start games, and wouldn't allow that here.

[Gantry]

Please make me a player with awe inspiring power, thx

[fightonusc]

The best I can do is make a player who is fine.

[Gantry]

That's all I ask

[Man of Steal]

The best I can do is make MikeD

[Darky]

- I'm pretty sure I can handle getting the files onto YouTube.

The thing is you have to record the game from what ever device you have and then upload that file with the recording to YouTube. And when you record the game, you tape the game at a faster speed when you set the speed of the game to a certain point on the NES Emulator. Get what I am saying? What I did was set the emulator to a faster speed for the rom (forgot the sweet spot speed but will get back to you on that), unzipped the games, played the games while I recorded them, then uploaded those files from my camera to youtube. This way you can watch a game in 5-10 minutes depending if the game went mercy rule or a full 9 innings. And it makes it easier for everybody to watch the games since they can just go on youtube rather than download the emulator and all the game files. Gantry and everybody else loved that better when I did that.

Here is an example below. And last time you ran the league, it took you almost a calendar year, so perhaps you'll need my help to keep things moving along.

[fightonusc]

I have several video editing suites as part of my job; I think I'll be fine with getting the video done. 

As for the speed - why rush a good thing? I'd rather release games at a slower drip and make them an event.

As for the speed - why rush a good thing? I'd rather release games at a slower drip, eventually stopping entirely and leaving everyone in suspense

[fightonusc]

I have several video editing suites as part of my job; I think I'll be fine with getting the video done. 

As for the speed - why rush a good thing? I'd rather get right to the point where I'm ready to release and then...nothing.

[fknmclane]

Back to the well.

[Reds]

Someone like Gantry join my team and draft for me.  Because I am terrible at paying attention to these things and there is no chance for me to do any prep work.
