Dee-Nee's vs. Dah Nah's

[sucka free]

BBan7700,

  Unlike the Dee-nee squad there is such a high demand to become a memeber of the DAH NAH's that I am forced to limit the squad to forum memebers only.  Those who contribute the most get a starting nod.  You have been a solid forum member and therefore a  valid choice as a starter.  By the way, can I make you a lefty?

Murph....I hate to see you on the bench, but once this rom is made you can also sub yourself into the starting lineup.  Agaion nothing personal I just made the lineup according to forum participation

Thee dee-nee's need 3 more players and the dah nahs need 2 more players.  We are getting close to having two full rosters for a two team rom.  


Dream senerio:  Having every Rom player in a room drinking beers and batting with themselves in the game.   There would be 18 people playing at once!

[vgp100]

Looks like these teams are starting to shape up. As a member of the Dah-Nah's, I'm getting a little concerned about team Dee-nee. Especially if they have a late inning lead. I'd hate to bat against Frosty in the 9th.

[doveRBI]

I definately think this should be a two team rom.  Leave no option but to have a dee-nee v. dah-nah grudge match when loading that bad boy up.  As for attributes i think they should be determined by participation/contribution quality/player personality.  How the hell you figure that out, who knows, but it would be cool.  Finally, it is clear that should the real life dee-nee/dah-nah battle ever materialize, the only beer allowed would be double bock.  Hope you concur Gantry.  Dee-Nee for life!

i completely understand....i agree that it should be those who were forum members, and my friend T was a regular contributor to the team while he did have a computer...to be frank, he discovered this site for us and brought it to my attention....if you look back in the forum history, you will see t starting and contributing to many  topics....most famously his "case for davidson" piece which shows why he should never be a manager....

props to the man with the megaman icon....second best nintendo character ever

[BeefMaster]

Hey, has there been any discussion as to uniform colors?  As a member of the Dah-Nahs, it is my opinion that we should strive for the most ass-ugly uniforms possible.  I'd have to look at the editor to get a good idea of the options, but I'm sure we can come up with something.  Also, we should change our skin color, which I think can be done with Nightwulf's editor.  I don't know that the Dee-Nees would be able to overcome the intimidation factor of a bunch of green-skinned guys in hideous uniforms.

And bban, who is the greatest Nintendo character ever?  Mario?  Link?  Samus?  Bo Jackson in "Tecmo Super Bowl"?  The guy from "Kabuki Quantum Fighter" that kills people with his hair?  Don't leave us hangin' like this!

[B]

there are two schools....for me, the RBI players with their no nonsense attitiude and flair for the dramatic are number one...if we are going outside of RBI, id have to say that Mega Man is number one, number two beingthe black mage from final fantasy....also placing in this is donkey kong, however he must be in a nintendo 64 setting....him playing golf or riding a kart is priceless...and i also am a big fan of the long piece in tetris...nothing says high score like a herd of those fuckers

[sucka free]

...the greatest nintendo charater is either Don Flamanco from Tysons punch out or starman from pro wrestling.

...frosty would be a son-of-a-bitch to hit off of in the ninth.  But the DAH NAH's are a bunch of rag-tag ball players, hell bent on showing those chi-town boys the door.

....It'll be very intereting to devise a method of creating personal atributes for this rom based on participation.  Keep in mind that the teams should be even so if we went on participation, the DAH NAH's would have an advatage.  Therefore,  the DAH-NAHS are based on participation in the forums because we are essential the forum team and the DEE NEE should be based on something Gantry comes up with, like hometown legendary status.  Hell potsie maybe their greatest player.

...majority rules on the uniforms

...what is T's forum name?

[B]

creative as ever, t's forum  name was t

[MarquisEXB]

I'm sorry but the best Nintendo character is Mario. He's the main character in Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Donkey Kong 3, but also Mario Bros, Super Mario (how many versions?), Mario Karts, etc.

Don't forget he's the referee in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I'm sure there are a million other places Mario appears in that I'm missing, but then again I've been drinking since 3pm.

I believe that Mario was also the ump in Tennis and Mario/Luigi were the two members of the original NES Golf.  Both quality games...

[doveRBI]

Gantry, seldom would I seek to rebuff your wisdom but in this case I must be heard.  Neither Mario nor Luigi stars in original golf for NES.  It just happens to be a fat, mustachioed guy... don't get confused.  However our favorite plumber brothers are stars in tennis for nes, mario tennis for n64, tennis for gameboy, and also don't overlook tennis for virtual boy.  I can't really see those guys being into racket sports but apparently they are fiends.

[doveRBI]

Addendum - mario and luigi did however star in NES open which was a later, and much better, nes golf game.  Anyone needing more useless nes knowledge i can be consulted for a marginal fee.

[Gantry]

Though this isn't definitive,  some weirdo wrote a book about Mario and says it's him in Golf:


Golf: Um, there's not much to this one. It's golf. Pretty primitive overhead graphics, but otherwise a good simulation. Mario is the golfer as far as anyone can tell. It is a mustachioed man who's kind of short and stocky, but without the trademark red hat & overalls, it's hard to say. The book Mario Mania credits it to Mario, so I'll give it to 'em.

There's probably some Mario messageboard debating this right now....

[doveRBI]

It may have to remain a mystery.  I will continue to believe it to be just some fat duffer, but certainly I will not exclude any possibility.  I think this actually goes to show the importance of us concentrating out abilities on RBI since as you said there are probably some even dorkier folks out there debating the mariosity of nes games.  Let's not forget Mario Paint, you know you loved it.

[Gantry]

I don't think we can get any dorkier than dee-nee.com.  Though we drink more than your average geek...

[vgp100]

I agree. Gantry--it looks like your California Angel guy is wearing a pocket protector.

Gantry,

Can you make out a lineup for the Dee-Nee's complete with positions and right/left handed? PLus you need to recruit 3 more players.  Anymore pets?

[Gantry]

My quick Dee-Nee:

1B - Eddie (R)
2B - Mollie (L)
SS - Jason (R)
3B - Nick (R)
OF - Slim (R)
OF - Sperling (R)
OF - Jae (R)

B1 - Lipitz (R)
B2 - Potsie (R)
B3 - Gantry (R)
B4 - Maddie (L)

P1 -
P2 -
P3 - Frosty (R)
P4 - Zorb (L)

Hmmm, gotta recruit 2 pitchers.  Jason would be our best pitcher (and hitter / fielder for that matter) but we need him at the plate.  Did Jae or Sperling ever pitch?

Pete Scheicke would fill a slot, I'll have to make him a profile page first.  He'll get some RBI action this weekend.  Last spot is a toughie, perhaps the dog Frosty or Brandy / Chelsea?

Notice all non-humans are lefties, or else we'd be dead...

Gantry,

  You, lips, and postie have to be in the starting lineup.  It just wouldn't be the same iof the legends of dee-nee were not starters.  Hell, you created the site.  The whole point of the rom is to be battle agains tthe guys we know.
