Online league

messenjah · 02-14-2003, 08:05 PM

Do I have to have an FTP website to have an internet league? Can't I just sign up players and have them send me their changes via email and do the simming on my own game? Just wondering. How would I get the information back on the website if it isn't an FTP? Is this even possible?

LivnLegend · 02-14-2003, 08:16 PM

Are you asking as a team GM/owner or as a league Commissioner?

If you are GM/Owner of a team in an online league, your transactions (free agents, trades, cuts) are posted on a message board or emailed to the commissioner. The commissioner will do the transactions in the master league file.

As a commissioner, it helps to have a nice league web site but I guess you could just do the transactions via email and then post the league file after running sims. I can't imagine hat would be a popular method but in a small league amongst friends, very doable.

Sorry if I am not understanding/addressing your question.

Well you sorta answered my question. Actually, I can get a website, but don't FTP website's cost money. I want to get the information from the game onto a normal website. Is that possible? I mean being able to get the normal website look with all the information without having to pay for an FTP? Maybe I'm just blabbering. Does anybody understand?

You don't have to pay for a server that has FTP in their service. Netfirms, Tripod, Angelfire, and some others are free, but has a bunch of pop-ups and/or banner ads which tend to get annoying after a little bit. If you want something that doesnt have them, and at a cheap cost, go to www.simleagues.com. They have some great deals for you to check up on. Please tell 'em Total Nirvana sent you

There are two ways for a Commissioner to accept the league owners’ team files. One is called ‘Export to FTP, which requires an FTP-capable website,I presume. The other way is for the owners to email their files to you, and you manually put them in the game folder.

The FTP process just automates the task of installing the owners’ team files into the game. No matter how you get those team files, the game sims the same way.

he wants to know, how possible will it be for him to start up a league that will be very easy for him to cheat without being detected... messenjah, how many teams are you planning to run in this league? at least three, I hope!

This would be best, then you don't have to bother with a league messageboard, where you might run into problems concerning which handle/owner you're supposed to be posting under.

Also, it's easier for fellow owners to spot massively lop-sided trades between your various franchises when you have one of those pesky messageboards.

If you get your league running, lemme know. I love being jerked around by dishonest commishes.

Eckstein 4 Prez · 02-18-2003, 11:18 AM

I want the Braves - you just can't be a REAL cheater if you don't own the Braves.....

goroyals · 02-18-2003, 11:40 AM

Wait! I want to make the Royals good again. Let me see..... I'll take the Giants, the Yankees, and the D-Backs, and while your at it throw in the D-Rays(I need good prospects). Oh and I call dibbs on all future expansions!

goroyals · 02-18-2003, 11:45 AM

Wait almost forgot! Need the Twins and Expos so I can unload all their talent to the Royals before they contract. OK I think I had my fun now I guess I'll stop.

Well, that was my theory. I've seen this sort of thing several times, each time involving the Braves. Part of that reason may be because it’s the same guy, just changing handles each time.

Not saying it does not happen but I've never seen this sort of cheating in a fictional team/fictional player league.
I am guessing that may have something to do with the maturity level of people who would go through so much trouble to cheat in an online baseball game since immature people often seem less drawn to fictional leagues.

Total Nirvana · 02-18-2003, 03:11 PM

Surprised that since we have been saying that he cheats on this board, he is gone without a trace...
