The IPA just depends on me... I suppose it took a lot of people to make the LSA run.

Sadly, the LBA died under my watch. It just got to be too much. The problem is a lot of what OOTP does automatically, we had to do by manually. Every season, we had to change hometowns so that they came from the fictional cities. Before, facegen, we found pictures for our players. The free agency was done manually, emailing bids, that was hard to do. The draft was hard to do in forums, before we had the mods that helped with that. It was an awful lot. And we went thru several commishes because of it.
It would be great to get a fictional world online league started now.

Wouldn't it be great if the Geo Bahn Rock Hounds lived again?

That league was created by portlander/9lives i couldn't take it over even if i wanted to. i helped bring the life, but so did a lot of other owners. (And if i tried to list all of them, i would miss a name...) In fact, that league is so real to me, that i feel about it the way i feel about the real major leagues. If i just let the the a.i. run Broncdom or Kron'nul or Zorphyr, it wouldn't be the same. i do have the logos. i really have enough of the old files to do a pretty good history of the league.
i have been working on my own fictional world. i have a map. i have a history. But i'm a bit of a perfectionist. So i'm slow to start. Once i get it going. i want it to last like yours has.

i love the Metro Leagues, too. i've been following it since he started it. i bounce back and forth between setting up a web page, like MetroLeagues or do a dynasty like you. And i've also become a fan of the Newland Continental Baseball League. i love fictional world leagues. Hopefully, some day soon, i'll be able to share mine with the community.
