These are most likely the next five baseball teams that I might do items for here, if I don't do items for another Japanese team or Eugene-related team or a high school team, for instance, I think, folks. I'm now personally going through at least a bit of a rough patch right now emotionally, at least, but I CAN'T and WON'T share details here with anyone about at least one personal matter, if not more than one such matter, in my life, for sure. So PLEASE don't ask for clarification of what I'm talking about here.

Chicago White Sox
Cleveland Indians
Coffee Division All-Stars
Durobrivae Bandits
Ethardius City Kings

I don't know how soon I'll be able to have enough items done for them that they still lack and which I might be able to make here, but maybe I can have at least them done and posted by the end of February or mid-March, if not also for other teams as well. Just so you all know this here well enough, folks. Please stay tuned, as I work through a rather difficult time in my life for at least a little while. And please keep me also in prayer, as well, of course.

At the moment, I still haven't been able to clear enough space in my mailbox, for various reasons, recently, for enough new messages, whether incoming or outgoing. I'll try to clear some space in it soon, I think. But at least for right now, if not for some time in the future as well, I'm still a bit unsettled emotionally, at least, and I'm trying to deal with a certain matter or certain matters that I'm not really happy about here as best as I can, for sure. Please try and bear with me for at least a little while here, and also keep me in your prayers, as always, folks. CD out.

These two caps go with the two uniforms I made quite some time ago for my first overall take on the Chicago White Sox in post 942 of this thread. The font that is currently in use for all of the relevant team-related items is Vitrina, and the appropriate color-related information is as follows:

f1f0d8 Beige (241, 240, 216)
007a3d Dark Spring Green (0, 122, 61)
e4002b Rojo (228, 0, 43)
407ec9 Steel Blue (64, 126, 201)

I definitely tried to pick certain colors for the White Sox that are and were at least fairly reminiscent of their various uniforms and caps from their history. And I realize I may need to work more on them later, of course. But for now, at least, the related items are how I'm executing my current take on them here, in any case, for sure. Just so you know. Obviously, I don't currently have any sufficiently-made logos for them yet in these particular colors here, but maybe someone else can make some up later on, for that matter. Or not, if they don't want to, you know. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Unfortunately had to scrap yet another dynasty-related attempt for at least the third or fourth time, because I messed something up with it. Am also currently having at least some trouble replacing at least one national flag in OOTP 22, for some yet-unknown reason or reasons.

Hopefully, someone will be able to help me figure out why I'm not currently able to change at least one specific national flag, if not more than one, in 22, when I was able to do so before, even while still being able to rename the nation or nations in question and/or change their three-letter designation(s) easily enough, for at least one dynasty, if not more than one. One dynasty in 22 doesn't seem to be having that problem now, or at least not yet, but I apparently messed up yet another attempt to create a second dynasty in OOTP 22, somehow, unfortunately.

I strongly suspect at present that I'll ultimately have to then try and create the relevant new dynasty in 21, before importing it somehow into 22, instead. But I really hope that won't actually be necessary, of course. It'd probably mean a lot more work for me in the long run, if so, unfortunately. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

The Chicago Cubs caps look pretty good, CD.

You picked good colors for them.

[Eugene Church]

CD, I put jg2977 as a second baseman in my IPA... he is just an average bat and fielder... that's how jg2977 said he was as a ballplayer.

What position do you want to play in my IPA?

You will be 21 years old.

And give me the name of the player you want me to use so you can follow him.

All I need is his name and his position... I will include his birthplace, too.

Let me know which way you want to bat: Left, Right or Switch.

And give me his height and weight.

Please keep it simple.

That is all I need to know.

I will find the worst person at that position you choose and put you on that team... that way you will get to be a starter right away.

jg2977 will be a second baseman for the LaGrange Gators... LaGrange has the worst second basemen in my IPA.... jg2977 will be a starter in spring training and bat 7th.

[Eugene Church]

CD, did you see that txranger did a Beechwood Blues sets for jg2977?

Did you notice how simple his request was?

You need to make your requests simple like jg2977 did and you might get some of your requests done.

Here is a picture of jg2977's post.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I'd like to be a two-way player, starting at 20 years old in the upcoming IPA season. Any IPA team that I've done work for, even if you haven't used it, would be just fine with me, but I still do have a preference for the Cardinals, just the same, or the rough equivalent (Denton City Redbirds) here. If I'm not actually put on the Redbirds here, however, please put him on the worst team that I've previously done work for, even if you've not actually used it, in either IPA subleague, as you so desire.

I'd envision him to be similar to Gordon Clyde Freeman, but just a bit better on the pitching side, as a slightly above-average switch-hitting and right-handed starting pitcher/first baseman, perhaps, with some intelligence and positive personality traits for himself, more or less.

Please use the height and weight details I gave you for Gordon Clyde Freeman (5'9" and 150 pounds), and a birthdate of February 11, 2058, with him being born in Columbia, Missouri, USA. If you input a school for him in the editor, then put him as coming out of St. Clair High School in St. Clair, Minnesota, please. Caucasian male with black hair and perhaps a black full beard with blue eyes, too.

Thank you for the offer to potentially include me yet again as a player in your IPA, EC. Please use Clovidequano Dovatha or Clovi Dovatha as his in-game player name with Turtle Pilgrim as his related in-game nickname, if you don't mind too much here. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I'm at least a little bit bummed that another attempt at an OOTP 22 dynasty got messed up again, at least partly because of me likely messing something up somehow, of course. But hopefully, I'll be able to somehow recreate it easily enough, eventually. I probably messed this one up by trying to regenerate a schedule too late, at the very least, I think, for instance. If not in other ways as well, unfortunately, before I had to ultimately delete it.

I really hate messing up things I've spent time working on, of course, especially things I've worked at least a few hours on, folks. But I suppose that's to be expected at times, the way that I often am with things, whether on the computer or not, to be sure.

I'll probably try yet again to recreate at least one new OOTP 22 dynasty, if not more than one, to go along with the one I already have created that isn't likely messed up yet here. But it might still be at least a few days before I try to do so again here, I think. In the meantime, I plan to do more graphics or other things, whether on the computer or not, if at all possible and all, for sure. CD out.

You are giving me way too many details... go back to my original post and just give me the information I asked for... Please keep it simple.

I will use the short name Clovi Dovatha.

I will place you on a team that has the worst person at the position you want to play... that way you will start off as starting pitcher or a position player.

Choose a position player or a pitcher... not both... you will do better if you don't try to be a two-way player... Gordon Freeman did not do well because he was a two-way player... Arthyr did better and turned out to be an impact player.

That is perfect, CD.

You need to keep it simple for simple people like me.

[Eugene Church]

I will try to put you on the Denton City Redbirds.

They are a good team with some really good pitchers.

Not sure you will make the team.

Would you rather play for a team that really needs pitching... that way you will make the team.

All I need is a simple answer... Denton City or another team?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, doesn't Denton City need some pitching? Even if it's only as a potential fourth starter, for instance, in this situation? If #42 isn't taken or retired yet for them, I'd really like that number if I end up on Denton City's Redbirds, because of my all-time favorite pro sports player Bruce Sutter, and that was his real uniform number on the Cardinals in real life. Actually, I'd want that specific number, if available, anyway, no matter where I'd end up, for sure.

If 2078 is your next IPA season, then perhaps he should have an actual birth year of 2058 in your dynasty, EC. At the time of his birth in this case, if I were still around, I'd be 85, and 105 in his debut year. Also, he should probably have somewhat above-average to high loyalty, above-average intelligence, moderately low greed, and slightly below-average adaptability ratings, I think, to reflect me better here, most likely. As for the other related personality traits of his, I'll leave it fully up to you to then adjust each of them as you might like and can.

If I'm not put on Denton City's Redbirds, then I'd prefer to be put on one of the teams that I've done at least some work for in the past. Even if you haven't used it in your IPA, whichever one you think best to put me on. Thank you. CD out.

Postscript: You can put the picture in your applicable player photos folder, and the FaceGen file in your applicable fg_files folder, I think, EC. Just so you know. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Please make me a nice guy personality-wise, but about 60-70 percent as good as Bob Gibson to start, at best, with slightly above-average stamina, throwing a moderately good fastball, backed up by a slightly weaker curve, a somewhat decent changeup, and a splitter somewhere between the starting levels of my curve and changeup. If I'd have been able to pitch as a young man, I probably would have at least tried to throw at least those four pitches at some point in my life. But I wasn't ever able to play organized baseball, unfortunately, for various reasons. 3/4 arm slot, and the top speed should be circa middle 80s to low 90's for my fastball, probably.

Offensively, I want to be at least a bit passable, if not particularly dangerous, with the bat and with moderate speed and baserunning skills, if I can be, along with somewhat low power capability. Defensively, you can give me just about average range and arm and defensive capabilities, more or less. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, you are never satisfied.

I ask you to just answer my questions and you add many more requests.
Both jg2977 have asked you to be simpler in your requests when we put you in our dynasty leagues.
The reason people don't help you is because you make things so complex and complicated.
Try as best as you can to keep your requests here on the Forum and in real life simpler... your life will be better if you do.

Apparently you just cannot keep it simple.
As your friend, I accept that.

I will try to accommodate your requests for Clovi Dovatha.

I will try to put you on the Denham Springs Redbirds, but understand they have really good pitching... you may not play much or you may be sent to the Reserve Roster and rarely play in my IPA.
If you play for a team with poor pitching, you will have a better chance of staying in my IPA.

Do you still want to play for the Denham City Redbirds?

Please let me know and try as best you can to keep it simple... a simple "Yes" or "No" would be fine.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Please feel free to put me wherever you think I'd best fit in, team-wise, just as long as it's on one of the teams I've previously done work for, whether you've actually used it or not in your IPA, even if it isn't the Redbirds. Although I do have a distinct preference for the Redbirds, of course, EC. Maybe I'll eventually end up on them somehow, even if I don't start playing for them from the beginning of this career here, anyway.

I'm sorry for quite often having certain trouble with being sufficiently simple when it comes to certain things with you and/or jg2977, among others here on the forums. It's just one of the things I often struggle with, online or offline, unfortunately, as I live my life. I really don't like it, of course, to be sure. But at least at this particular time, it's still often quite hard for me in my life, at least whenever it comes to certain things in it, evidently. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

It's not so much a matter of being unsatisfied, but perhaps it's more a matter of me being rather particular and especially detail-oriented and all, when simplicity may be much more appropriate in certain situations that one often faces in life, at least for me, I think. You see, I can't often have control of certain things in my life in certain kinds of situations, for various reasons, so that probably causes me to be rather particular about certain things when they're things that I perhaps might be able to control, or at least somewhat influence positively, better in my life, if not totally.

I'm never deliberately trying to be mean or unfair, at least, to anyone at all in my own mortal life, without just enough cause and all, as you should hopefully know quite well by now, EC. But I may often certainly seem to be that way for many people, unfortunately. Whether they're around here or they're somewhere else in my life. Online or offline, that is, for sure.

Again, please put me wherever you think it best when it comes to me starting another playing career in your IPA. Even if it isn't the Redbirds, when it comes to one of the teams that I've previously done work for, whether you've used it in your IPA before or not, EC. Maybe I'd eventually still end up landing on them anyway, even if I wouldn't actually start this playing career with them in the first place, somehow. Thank you. CD out.

[jg2977]

CD, I would just let EC put Clovi Dovatha on a team where you’ll have the best chance to play, whether you’ve done work on them or not. Make it easy for him.

I let EC choose the team for me. I did not demand that I be on any specific team. I made it easy for him, and increased my chances of becoming an everyday player. Win-win for everyone.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I'm also a bit bummed at present about having to scrap yet another attempt at a second OOTP 22 dynasty, after at least partly messing things up with it here, to be sure. I at least partly messed it up by trying to regenerate a certain league's overall schedule after the likely applicable current cut-off date for that league, if I hadn't actually messed it up in other ways as well before then, it somehow seems to me here. Plus it was one of the dynasty attempts affected by the likely bug I mentioned earlier, and posted about in one of the bug reports subforums, as well.

To be completely honest with you all, I really don't like it when I might actually have to redo certain things multiple times that I've already tried to do to the best of my ability, due to likely unexpected problems popping up with them. Especially when I've likely spent at least some time planning them out or setting them up and all, of course, folks. But it looks like I've at least partly somehow botched up yet another attempt at creating and running a second sufficiently-working OOTP 22-related dynasty to go along with my hopefully-unaffected working OOTP 22 dynasty here, much to my dismay and all here, just the same. Supposing that I didn't totally botch it up at any time somehow, that is, you know.

Well, it's probably a good time to go to work on whatever I'm supposed to do today, I suppose, whether it's graphics, story-related matters, or anything else in my life, as the Lord leads me to do today. I'll probably have to wait on trying yet again to recreate a second sufficiently-working OOTP 22 dynasty to go along with my unaffected OOTP 22 one for at least another day or two, though, I think.

While I may have lost yet another attempt at creating such a dynasty, to be sure, it's not something that's a definite life or death matter here, you know. There are a lot more things that are much more important in this world of ours that definitely are like that, and nobody's going to die just because someone has an OOTP game-related issue here, no matter who they may be in this world of ours. Or at least I hope not, in any case, of course. CD out.
