OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Yet Another OOTP6 Dynasty, Year 2: One Flew Over the Pale Hose

This post will be short because this forum is all about the dynasties, and rightfully so, but if you're reading this thread for the first time (or nine hundredth), you're probably wondering how the hell it got so big, and where the hell I went, and how the hell I ended up back here.

I don't remember how this thread got so big.

Once upon a time four years ago (four years ago!) I booted up OOTP6 for maybe the 20th time with the intention of finding something to distract from what was at the time a life that badly needed distractions. I started sharing on this forum because I had used to do that with Baseball Mogul, when I was a pimply kid of maybe 14 or 15, and we had just miraculously survived the Y2K scare a year before.

I share in words rather than numbers because that's who I am. Numbers tell you a little bit, but my head doesn't work in numbers. I can add them pretty quickly though.

I've been through a lot in the last four years, even in the last two years, so my writing style should be quite different. I hope it's still worth reading. It's obviously A LOT of reading if it's something I stick to, so fasten your seatbelt if you dare...

And I do plan on sticking to it for now. I got great joy out of writing so much about this fake baseball team, and I'm at a point in my life where I need to find some joy in my spare time. I don't have much money or a great job, I'm still pieceing together a lot of the non material things in my life. To be frank in between the time I started this thread to today, I developed a lot of very unhealthy behaviors and coping skills. It's just now that I'm learning some healthy wins. The reason I mention this is for YOU - obviously behind all these words there is a person typing. If YOU (whoever you are reading this) ever feel like you don't have a person in the world who gives a ****, please send me a PM. Take some faith that I have been to that dark place, in so many ways. And every day I make some little effort so I don't go back to this place...today, it is resurrecting the Pale Hose. That's worthy of celebration...I have a lot of words to type about this ragtag bunch.

And that's all you get about me. Now about the team that, for a while anyway, made a lot of people in this forum get really familiar with the bold function...
