Please read posts 20 and 21 in your new IPA thread, at least, if not also related posts in this thread, yet again, jg2977. That's what I'm currently proposing for Henry's generation, and I don't think I'll be proposing more players than those this generation, in any case, or at least I don't plan to at this point, anyway.

Gordon's generation could have him with his three brothers, at least, along with the same number of rivals, spaced out as necessary. With or without allied families to either side also having potential IPA players as part of them, of course, as well. The main rival families, if we stick primarily to the Freemans and their respective rivals, would be the Holmeses, the Parverols, the Garbers, and the Clairbornes, in any case. Especially if four Freeman brothers were able to play in Gordon's generation.

Let's see where things take us, for any of the potential players I'd propose for your IPA in the future for this version of the IPA, at least. In any case, Henry Freeman would be the oldest of four potential IPA players on the Freeman side, and the youngest of four potential players on the Freeman side would be about nine years younger than Henry. While on the other side, the oldest would be Jedediah Holmes, and the youngest Simon Clairborne, almost seven years younger than Jedediah.

As far as the Freemans' cousins, they wouldn't actually begin to appear in your IPA before Gordon's generation, if at all, in any case, anyway. Same thing for the relevant rivals' cousins, if there were any, I think.

As far as reporting on the progressions of their respective playing careers, periodically, let's both just see how things go. If we do happen to ever need to space out their updated reports, once enough players are in the mix, instead of reporting on them every year, except where they do something special or earn awards, then we'll do that, as best as we can, if and whenever possible and appropriate, I think.

Of course, if they get hurt, and their careers are shorter as a result, then so be it. Or if they retire sooner than planned, you know. But I still would like to see siblings actually start on the same teams as other members of their families, if at all possible. Or if Henry were to still be playing when Gordon, for instance, started, I'd like them to spend at least one season playing on the same team, if not more than one, before the parent retired as a player, if at all possible.

I'd prefer that the rivals never play on the same team as any of the Freemans, if it can possibly be avoided at all, and vice versa. Unless, of course, they're on All-Star teams together, you know.

Every season, you should probably let me know what teams may be eligible teams for prospective new players to start on. Eligible teams in this context would be any team that would be using at least one or two of my items for themselves every so often, at least, I think, during the applicable season or seasons, of course, unless I am more specific in a certain case at times.

If you want or need me to do more graphics for you and your IPA teams, at least, you will need to give me at least a week's notice prior to the time you next start a brand-new season, I think, once all the awards are done for a particular season. That should hopefully allow me enough time to make the needed graphics as best as possible, and as soon as possible, prior to that season or following seasons. For instance, if you want me to make new items for 1872, you will need to let me know as soon as possible, just which teams you may want me to try and do good items for, of course. Just so you know, jg2977.

I'll talk more later, as time allows and all, I'm sure, Lord willing and all, of course. Thank you for your time and attention and all, as always. And I was also wondering just what you think of my new take on the Crystal Lake Skippers, inspired at least in part, perhaps, if not entirely inspired, by the Seattle Pilots, Seattle Mariners, Seattle Supersonics, Seattle Seahawks, and Seattle Kraken, at present. Please feel free to share your thoughts about the above items, as you like and can, then, as well, jg2977. CD out.
