I have two pages of adjustments that I have made to the PBP from the previous versions (I'm not shy about making "improvements  ) but I've never had a desire to mess with the mechanics needed to make the program run correctly. |
The pbp is just a representation of what the game decided occurred. Every hard code line could be "!" and every line in the xml could read "HA!" and the game would still assign stats and simulate the game with no trouble.
You just might see the pbp laughing at you...
HA!
HA!
HA!
HA!
HA!
