If so, could you perhaps let me know which players might have had children born for them, soon? If you could, I'd really appreciate it, for sure. CD out.

Sorry, I don’t know what a birth report is. Never heard of it. Honestly I don’t want to get that involved and for things to get too complicated. Don’t want to create too much work for myself. I already have enough work at my regular job. I’m like EC, in that I just like to create a league, simulate through the regular season and watch the playoff games, and do some basic reporting on the progress of the dynasty

I’ll be happy to add the players that you propose, and place them on the team that you desire, but no more than that.

I’ll post the single season and career leaderboards tomorrow so that we can see what they look like after 11 seasons.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, sometimes as parts of certain storylines, there are periodic reports related to births of children for various players as part of certain messages that certain people might perhaps get in their inboxes during a particular dynasty. At least whenever storylines are presently turned on for certain active leagues and/or dynasties, if memory serves me correctly, that is. I was just wondering if you'd likely seen any of them perhaps show up here before during this specific dynasty's current run, then, by any chance at all, you see.

I've periodically seen them in various versions of OOTP, if not also in various versions of FHM, for sure. Usually, if not always, the reports of such births are also accompanied by a personal leave notation of some sort in the the relevant player or players' transaction and/or injury history sections of their player profile(s), just so you know, jg2977, if I'm not too mistaken here about such things. They don't occur very often, but I have seen such reports from time to time in various dynasties and all, for sure, in any case. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I want or need reports on the relevant teams that didn't make the playoffs this time around, jg2977, I believe, so that I can proceed as necessary with the appropriate players who have not yet entered your IPA here. Denton City and South Fork made the playoffs, but I would want or need reports on Glasco, Sugar Valley, Turon, Kenwood, and Hillsboro, it seems to me here. I hope to see them soon, of course.

In the meantime, I will begin creating the relevant proposed player profile for Jethro. Once I see Sugar Valley and Turon's current statuses, I will then decide whether or not Barrett and/or Simon go to college before their IPA careers start later on.

Kenwood evidently needs a lot of help soon, so expect Tanner to start in 1884, if at all possible, when he begins to play in your IPA. As planned before, he will play up the middle, whether as a two-way player or not, most likely.

Please watch for his and Jethro's proposed profiles to be sent your way soon, with Jethro's coming your way before Tanner's does, jg2977. Thank you. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

PM sent, jg2977. Just so you know. Please let me know what you think about its contents later, either here or privately, if and when you wish. Thank you. CD out.

Garber's definitely going to be playing up the middle for Kenwood, because all of their current regulars up the middle basically stink, it seems, starting in your IPA for the 1884 season here, if I can get the relevant proposed profile ready in time before then. He'll most definitely be coming right out of the University of Virginia at Charlottesviile, for your information, when he finally starts playing in your league. Supposing he's approved here, of course, that is, jg2977.

I've already sent you the proposed player profile for Jethro Morse. I really hope he will be an especially excellent replacement for C.J. Woolwine, who clearly can't really cut it for Glasco here now, if he ever really could. Even as he plays next to Zebulon periodically, of course.

I'll try to have Tanner's proposed profile sent your way by the end of this week, if at all possible and all, as well. Once approved and created and assigned to Kenwood, I hope he makes a major impact for them as a two-way player on their roster, for sure.

As for Barrett and Simon, let's send them both to college, actually, jg2977. Let's then send Barrett to the University of Illinois's Urbana-Champaign campus, I think. And Simon Clairborne to Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, as well, with potential matching collegiate graduations in 1886, and potential matching IPA debuts in time for the 1887 IPA season, for both of them here.

Barrett will come out as a shortstop and center fielder, while Simon will be a pitcher. I haven't yet decided just how good each of them will be, nor just what Simon's pitching repertoire will ultimately prove to be, when they're each proposed, but don't be surprised if you see Simon with more than four pitches when he is finally proposed here as a potential player for your IPA. Just so you know, jg2977. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

PM has now just been sent your way related to Tanner Garber's proposed player profile for possible use in your IPA later, jg2977. Just so you know. Please let me know what you think, privately or not, if and when you so choose, of course. Thank you. CD out.

[jg2977]

I haven't looked at the player profiles yet as I've been very busy with work and music over the past several days. But I'm sure they are fine, and I'm not too picky. I usually follow your instructions on what teams the players sign with, and what positions they play, and I do choose their physical attributes based on what you say they should be.

I'll probably play 4 OOTP games tonight, that will be each Game 2 of the 1882 Union Division Series.

When does the next player enter the league, to make it easy for me?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Jethro Morse AKA Jethro Paul Morse starting in 1883 for Glasco as proposed, if approved, out of either the University of Missouri at Columbia or the University of Missouri at St. Louis, depending on which of the two schools you want him to come out of here. Then Tanner Garber starting in 1884 for Kenwood as proposed, if approved, out of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville.

As for Barrett, he will be going to the University of Illinois' campus in Urbana-Champaign, while Simon will be going to Florida State University's campus in Tallahassee. I expect that they'll both start in your IPA for Sugar Valley and Turon, respectively, starting in 1887 or 1888. I don't have any profiles made up for either Barrett or Simon yet, mind you, but please give me at least a little time to work on them both here, and I should have them both ready in time, hopefully, jg2977. Especially if you keep me posted at least annually on Sugar Valley and Turon's team statuses, if not more frequently than that, from now until whenever they might each somehow find themselves playing for any other teams elsewhere in the IPA.

I hope Henry Freeman can play at least until 1890 or so, but we'll have to see, of course. Same for Zebulon Morse. As for K.J. Walton and the rest, we'll just have to see how the rest of their respective careers go here, in this particular generation here, of course, jg2977.

Seeing as Barrett and Simon are both going to be going to college for at least four years apiece now, that obviously means that the earliest they'll each be able to play in your IPA will be the 1887 IPA season, for sure. So after you finally get Tanner Garber added to Kenwood's roster, that should easily allow you to largely sim through to the end of the 1886 IPA postseason in considerably less time than it might normally take if you were expecting more proposed players to come your way in very quick succession, I think.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure, Lord willing and all, of course, jg2977. Thank you for your time and attention and all here, as always, for that matter, too. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here is how I generally envision each of those on the Freemans' side of things, at least for the first generation of this IPA version, to look like at least once in their lives, if not more than once in them. While you may not necessarily envision them looking like these pictures, and their FaceGens may not look a lot like their respective pictures here, here are some pictures showing how I might generally envision their appearances to look like, jg2977, just the same.

First picture will be Henry Freeman, second Zebulon Morse, third K.J. Walton, and fourth Jethro Morse. I'll make another post related to each of the relevant rivals as well, featuring other pictures for them as I'd imagine them to perhaps each look at least once in their respective lives, too, after this one. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some pictures of Jeddy Holmes, Barrett Parverol, Tanner Garber, and Simon Clairborne, as I might perhaps currently envision each of them perhaps looking at least once in their respective lives here, if not more than once in each of them, in any case. In order, they will be seen exactly as listed above, of course, jg2977. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Of course, before the start of the 1883 IPA season, if not before, I'd really like to see all the relevant cards for my players from the 1882 season, including awards cards, if at all possible, please, jg2977. I hope to see Jethro Morse debut well next season, and would also like to see how Tanner Garber does in his potential debut season of 1884, as well, for that matter.

Hopefully, when both Jethro and Tanner ultimately have debuted in the IPA here, they'll each have had major impacts on their respective destination teams from when they each start their playing careers in your IPA. And I would like to perhaps also see the same for Barrett and Simon for Sugar Valley and Turon when they themselves each debut in 1887 or 1888 for their respective planned destination teams.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure. Lord willing and all, of course, that is, you know. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Once Barrett and Simon have both finally debuted in your IPA, that probably will be it for potential players of mine in this generation of the IPA, in terms of ones I'll have proposed, I think. Just so you know this well enough here for now, at least, jg2977.

As far as the second generation of the IPA, I would expect it to start no earlier than perhaps 1890 to 1895, if even that early. Most likely, we'd have to wait until sometime in or around 1901 for the first of the IPA's second-generation players to begin playing in it, realistically speaking here. Gordon and his brothers will most likely start coming into your overall dynasty circa 1901, starting with Gordon in 1901, whether it's for an MLB team, an IPA team, or a team in another potential league you might choose to add to your dynasty here, I think.

As for other potential second-generation IPA players, we'd mutually have to decide on them later, of course. And probably on a case-by-case basis, whether they're related to/associated with the Freemans, they're related to/associated with the Freemans' rivals, or they're not related to and/or associated with either side here. You also said that you were actually considering adding MLB teams, at least, if not also MLB, to your IPA dynasty's overall mix of teams earlier, I believe, if memory serves me correctly enough here, jg2977.

Talk more soon, as time permits and all, I'm sure. I can't wait to see which of the eight players will ultimately have the best overall career by the time they're each retired here as players, for that matter, jg2977. And who will ultimately win the most overall titles as players, among other things I am hoping to see happen later for them all here, of course. CD out.

[jg2977]

CD, there's no reason to post photos of what your players are supposed to look like. I won't be studying them or even viewing them at all. Furthermore, when the pictures look really big in this thread here, it's just annoying.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, sorry, jg2977. Not trying to be annoying and all, of course, you know. I'll try to remember not to post them needlessly here for anyone's potential viewing, or at least not with them being at least as large as they have often, if not always, been posted in this thread here or elsewhere on the forums in the past.

Although I've probably also posted them in threads in the past to help me remember what they might look like, at times, for various reasons. I periodically forget certain things at times, probably at least partly due to my Asperger's Syndrome, I think, you see. And this is possibly a good way for me to perhaps remember these people better, even if they're fictional players, for instance, at times in my own life here. Or for me to make as sure as I can that they're somewhere else, just in case I ever happen to have computer trouble that's bad enough to cause me to again lose at least temporary, if not permanent, access to a certain computer or to certain computer devices of any kind. I've had various computers or computer devices go sufficiently bad like that for me periodically, after all, for sure, over the years, you see, jg2977.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure, Lord willing and all. Thank you for your time and attention and all here, as always, of course. That's all for this particular post here, then, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

jg2977, it's often not all that easy to deal with certain things for me, whether it's because of my AS or not, in truth. I suppose it's at least part of why I have still not been able to finish even the first draft of Lighting Up the Darkness, if not any number of other stories as well. Whether they're original fiction stories or fan fiction stories, I still quite often find it quite hard to focus enough on certain things for long enough periods of time, especially with me periodically forgetting things in my life that I'd rather remember at times, and vice versa.

I was actually hoping to be able to finish the entire first draft's main text for Lighting Up the Darkness by the end of November 2021, but that didn't happen. I'm still early in chapter fifteen for a planned 25-chapter story, in truth, for it, as I write this particular post here. I have at least a general idea of how I want the rest of the story to go, but seeing as it's strictly a one-narrator story at the moment, it is fairly challenging to write for me right now. I do not often write my stories only or primarily using a strict first-person point of view for them, usually preferring to write in a third-person omniscient point of view, for my various stories, if memory serves me correctly enough here, jg2977.

However, the needs of this particular story will eventually require me to use multiple narrators in the next-to-last chapter of it, for sure, simply because my present narrator will definitely be unable to be in various locations at the same time, for various parts of it, of course. I won't say much about my planned penultimate chapter of the story here, mind you. But there still will be an especially major battle with various parts of it actually occurring in multiple locations over a certain length of time, and most especially at the conclusion of the overall battle in certain relevant locations, for sure.

I hope to at least somehow find some good enough way to finally be able to finish the entire first draft of this story by the time I ultimately turn fifty in just about six months from now, at least, if not at least a second draft of it. But in order for me to ultimately do that here, I'll honestly have to do a lot more work on it, no doubt. And I'll also have to try and collect all the necessary relevant reference material for it as well, as best and as quickly as I can, for that matter, obviously. Not to mention, I'll have to also have certain maps made up to go along with the main text, for instance, among any number of other things, to be sure.

Ideally, if I can somehow actually complete the main text for the first draft of this story in 375 to 400 or so pages, at most, and put no more than maybe another 25 pages of reference material together for it, that probably would be a real good place to start here, before I finally begin cutting down the overall text of the story better, in later drafts of it. Ultimately, I'd like the entire final draft of this volume to take up no more than about 350 pages in total, more or less, whether that includes the relevant reference material or not for it. But that might be rather hard to achieve here for me with it, just the same, of course, jg2977.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm quite sure. Lord willing and all, of course, that is. Thank you for your time and attention and all here, as always. CD out.

Standings as of the common All-Star Break of four different, yet still associated, Major Leagues in my first created OOTP 22 dynasty, though not the dynasty I was actually hoping to make my first such dynasty in that version of the game. By that, I mean a brand-new dynasty with no likely versions from prior editions of the game series that I've acquired in the past, of course, folks. The leagues in question are part of the Forlchul Baseball Society, and they are as follows:

Forlchul Premier Consortium
Forlchul Challenger Syndicate
Forlchul Contender Zone
Forlchul Novice Legion

Of course, none of those leagues, nor their related subleagues, have any logos at all, at least, for them. Nor is there at least one logo for the related association, if not more than one. However, if anyone would care to want to perhaps try and make suitable logos for them, then they should certainly let me know here, and I'll share the desired and needed details later, for sure.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure. Lord willing and all, of course, that is, folks. Thank you all for your time and attention here, as well. EC, if you want to find out more about certain teams related to any of these leagues, as far as you can gather about them at this point in time, please don't be afraid to ask here, you know. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Glad to see you are finally enjoying the fruits of your labor... good to see you actually playing out a league.

I really like the names of your four leagues.

Premier Consortium
Challenger Syndicate
Contender Zone
Novice Legion

Hope you will concentrate only on this league and continue to play it for years and years... make it your prime league and stay with it.

No one is going to make logos for you... your only hope is to post each team one at a time on the graphics forum and see if someone will do them for you one logo at a time.
You may get lucky... people are more likely to help you one team at a time.... listing a bunch of teams at a time will not work.

Just post the name of the team and the colors you want the logo to be... nothing else... keep it simple... do not add special requests or instructions... they won't make it the way you want it... your requests are always too complex and complicated.

Choose the teams one at a time taking them in order from your posted leagues.

Post this on the Graphics Forum... word for word... don't add anything to it.... you might get some logos done if you keep it simple and uncomplicated.

Thread Title: Need Primary and Secondary Logos for One Team... don't put your name in the thread... more people may respond if you don't include your name... your rep is not very good, even though you are much, much easier to deal with now than you were when you first came on the OOTP Forums.

Need Primary and Secondary Logos for one team:
DUBUQUE PACKERS
Colors: list the names of the team colors... give the hex codes if you like... or just list 2 or 3 generic colors like red, blue and gray... don't use more than that.

[Eugene Church]

If you don't get any help on the Forums for your logos, I will do them for you... my graphics are just average and will not be as good as txranger, low, knuckler and the other gifted designers... but my average work is better than nothing.

But I will only do them if you plan to keep playing this league... I do not want to waste my time like I did 2-3 years ago when I made 24 logos for your Slobbovian League, that you did not continue to play... I wasted 2 months of my time on those 24 logos.

I do not want to do that again.

For me to do them for you, you have to dedicate yourself to one league and one league only.
