Here is a bit of levity after two rough losses...a dynasty entirely written in vague, generalized descriptions.
"Played a game today. Men ran onto the field wearing gloves, one dressed as though he was an astronaut. Another man waved a big hunk of lumber and slashed it viciously through the air when a little white ball came flying at him. The ball traveled very fast in many different directions. Spectators cheered. At the end, everyone went home."
A slightly more esoteric slant at an off-field event:
"Swapped with a team in the other sub-league for a player to man the outfield, and only gave up a five-star in A-ball, aged 25. He won't reach his prodigious talents. Haha, what a steal! Heap upon me praise, and deride Schuerholz and Beane for never thinking up such a brilliant trade.
Thwap will go the ball off this 83-76-55-64-87's bat, and with a flash of leather and a clap of thunder, Gold Gloves will fan upon his chiseled 87-99-78 physique."
"omg great trade! p\/\/4ge! what ratings r u using?
thx keep up the good work!!! go team go!"
"Thanks for your reply. I am using a scale of ten for other ratings and 2-8 for batting and pitching. Also I change the AI weights by 3.7% in descending alphabetical order every month. I feel this provides the most realistic assessment of what a major league GM would have to face and thus maximises my gaming experience.
Here is a bump to remind myself to update."
Finally, the vague, generalized signup thread - where YOUR PACKAGE OF BINARY DIGITS, too, can be a star:
"Love metsgeek's threads so wanted to start another one. Please remember to submit your ratings in Morse Code in the
signup thread. Here is the newest update:
The Funk, your player was in A-ball.
ifspuds, your pitcher played since he is on a really bad team. And he even won one!
Vris, your player was released and is playing for the free agents now. No stats listed.
