what is going on

[dleifriaf]

Well, I posted yesterday, but apparently it didnt get up. I just basically said that once all, or a good portion of the games were in, we could move on. My guess is that this idea of a league, for what ever reason, is not going to work. At least not during the summer. Too much to do for people, I do have a couple guys that would like in, so maybe ill get some replacements for dead beat owners, not to mention, everyone was supposed to play TWO games.

this dielfrre... whatever his name is a piece of crap stop talking crap and play your games.  i can't get my opponent on the line to play with.  how can we improve that?

hey, i down for week 2, i believe i face off against clyon? lets talk on AIM so we can set something up.

[heeprules]

I see you guys are having trouble getting the league off the ground.  Just thought I'd let you know I'll be ready to play as soon as I get the nod.  I'm currently sitting #2 on the waitng list.

i am totally into this league...it just sucks that it hasnt worked out so far....but im still in, so factor me into any plans in the future.....

[dleifriaf]

if the people in this league were online once in a blue moon it might actually work

[MarquisEXB]

Can someone tell this clown to stop AIMing me. I told Chet I was out of the league a while ago, and this guy gets online, gets my away message (so he knows I'm not there), then insults me. An away message means I'm not at the computer.

Also I'd like to note that I wouldn't be bothered if this guy read the rules correctly the first time. The day we played our first game I said we had to play two games. He left Nesticle to check the web page and said "nope we only have to play one game."

there is nowhere in the rules that says you are supposed to play two games and no one told me that i was supposed to.  this league is a waste of time i quit too

[clyon81]

Why would the games be on the rules page. How many places do I have to post the schedule?

Im pulling the plug.

Thanks to those who actually tried.

[doveRBI]

Sorry to rip you man but that is a dumb question.  I will label your sorry ass comment as the most ill-timed post ever considering you are about 3 and a half months late.  I drink a high life to your idiocy.

[Gantry]

This league didn't get off the ground again and I'll probably be removing this board shortly.  Hopefully we can get a league started again, but I'm starting to think that it'll only happen if I'm the person organizing it.  And I'm too lazy for that right now...

[jaylums]

Here's a question:  is anyone playing anyone on line right now, league or no league?  Maybe the trick to starting this thing is to screw keeping track of standings and stats to start and get people playing first.  Once people get to know each other thru playing each other on line, then formalizing things would be easier.  Just a question.

[jaylums]

Another question:  how does one go about getting all the stuff to play RBI on your computer/online again?  My old computer played RBI with FCE Ultra and Nesticle easily, but my new computer won't do a damn thing.  Technology for you.

Doverbi, any tips or comments?  I'm waiting.

[doveRBI]

I don't know how to do it well enough to explain it.  We attempted this league about 5 months ago but the problem was scheduling.  You can make all the schedules you want but if people can't hook up to play their games it ain't happening.  Besides, my opinion is that playing online ain't the same as easy chair to easy chair.

[jaylums]

True enough.  I remember FCE being much better to play on the computer with than Testicle, which was super-choppy.  The thing is, with my old computer all I had to do was click and drag the RBI rom icon onto the emulator icon and I was rolling.  With this new 'puter of mine, it does everything but want to play RBI for me, which fucking sucks.  It's why I got it in the first place, man . . . it won't read the types of files (tan? and nes) both the emulator and the rom are.  I d'know, I'll figure it out eventually I hope.  'Gotta play the predictable computer at least.  

[broiler]

the trick to starting this league all depends on what happens next week on monday night raw

[The Kongo]

nestopia is the best and smoothest emulator for online play

[Turd]

Yep, these old posts should be archived or something...we'll move league discussion to this forum once we get things underway.  I should have this and my tecmo league squared away by this weekend.
