SBC (Predecessor of SRL) Champions going into 1877 season

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

The Canguio Teamsters' home uniform seen above was done with the light green color that I mentioned earlier, in truth. I think it may still need at least some more work, but I think I'm sufficiently satisfied with it at the current time. The blue is Oxford Blue, and the orange is actually Princeton Orange. Probably they're not quite as light in terms of their actual color shades as I might have preferred/expected them to both be, for the blue and orange. But, still, as you said, they look good together as they stand now, color-wise.

Logos-wise, perhaps a construction worker or steel mill worker might be a good concept to start from, imagination-wise. Maybe something similar to the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers logo or logos would be quite useful for them, I think, but with the presently-used colors instead in place of red and purple.

For an orange alternate, perhaps blue text, the light green interior trim, and blue external trim, or just blue untrimmed text might be best, whether Teamsters or Cangruio is on the front of the alternate uniform(s) in question then. As things stand now, I think the Canguio Teamsters' set is off to a good start, at least, but it still could use some more items for it, for sure.

Thank you for your input. While I'm quite sure that I still have a lot of work to do before I can consider myself at least a halfway decent graphics maker here, compared to many others, I'm definitely gaining at least some useful experience here, in terms of graphics design and creation.

I wish I could show these to my brother KC, of course, among others, but I just can't. I don't know what he'd think of these items I've been doing, but I hope he'd like them, if he could share his thoughts with me about them. Supposing he wanted to and all, that is, obviously. I am comforted greatly, however, by the fact that he's completely out of danger from anything in this world, and has been ever since he went to be with our Lord, for sure, Eugene. Not only that, but he's completely healthy, and has been ever since he left this world behind as he did nearly seven years ago.

Nothing I mentioned before is affecting him now, and never will again, either. He can't be harmed by anyone or anything now in the world, and he hasn't been harmed by anyone or anything that's been around in the world since his Homegoing, for sure. While I miss him terribly, as you know I always will, until I see him again, Lord willing, I'm so glad of those things being true ever since he went Home.

Thanks for your input and all, for all the time you've come to get to know me, Eugene. It is very much appreciated, and I want you to know that I honestly mean this in complete sincerity, just in case you were sometimes unsure about that being true for me, in relation to you and all here. You're a dear friend to me now, and a definite believer in our Lord, I'm entirely sure, in this world of ours, as far as I can now tell for sure. CD out.

Some new uniforms for the Skaptadrangar Scholars, a potential future team from Helvarta, one of my fictional nations. Hope you like them. That is all for this post, at least for now, I think. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

The Scholars are nicely done... the colors go together well.
You can read the lettering easily... the contrast between the lettering and the jerseys is good.

Your choice of colors is much improved over what you used to pick.
Using fewer colors lately had made your jerseys much better.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I do think some of the older ones are good, even if they have a lot of colors on them, for various reasons. But, I agree that some teams might look better with fewer colors used for their items, just the same.

For real-world cultures do have certain color-related traditions for certain items, such as clothing, for example. Just as real-world groups have such traditions, I'm sure many fictional groups/cultures/whatever would likely have some of their own, even if they're not quite what we might normally consider traditional in our personal life experiences.

A lot of real-world groups and organizations might use the colors of their nations' flags, for example, when they make certain clothing items, you know. While others might have other preferences and all, of course, for whatever possible reason or reasons.

For fictional settings and all, what might be considered normal to most in the real world might not be considered so by those in such settings for themselves. For instance, you don't typically see a national flag, at least, with purple in it, like you might in relation to certain fictional nations/societies, I think.

Of course, traditions may and often do change considerably from one nation and/or one historical era to another. Such as the clothing we men may wear from time to time, for example. We don't typically dress ourselves in attire as our ancestors likely did centuries ago, unless we're participating in some sort of artistic production such as a play or movie, you know, Eugene.

Thank you for your input and all so far, then. Talk more later, I'm sure, if possible, I hope. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Some new uniforms for the Phalempin Ravens of Vobasalia, if and when they might ever be created for at least one league in any of my dynasties. These probably will need much more work in the future on them, but this is what I have for them so far, in any case. Hope you like them. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Let's see if we can't plan out a league or association of leagues together, featuring some of your teams and some of my teams, at least. Where we don't have logos and/or can't make them for certain teams and/or leagues, maybe we can find some suitable ones, or ask around for them.

Or I can try and make the uniforms and caps for certain teams that may not have any made for them yet. While you can try and get the logos made, that go with those caps and/or uniforms, if they don't yet exist, of course.

Maybe we could try to produce a quickstart between the two of us, featuring teams in various leagues with a template of some sort. There are probably plenty of schedule options available for download here on the forums, if we don't already have them. And more are being added every so often, I believe.

I was thinking something along the lines of the following:

Each overall league would have no more than 32 teams in it, and if that many, then said overall league could have no more than 16 teams in two divisions per subleague.

Standard Proposed Rules:

140 to 154-game regular seasons for majors, roughly ten percent fewer games per level, in relation to the major leagues, as one goes further down in the minor league setups
No designated hitter in all in-game leagues
Season starts on or around April 1st
Starting rotations with no more than four regular starters in the rotation
25-player rosters for most of regular season, 40 for rest of season until post-season
All-Star game halfway through season, more or less
Trading deadline on or around July 31st
Roster expansion date on or around September 1st
Division Series no more than five games per series (If applicable)
League Championship Series no more than seven games per series (If applicable)
World Series or equivalent championship series no more than seven games per series (If applicable)
No trading between major leagues
Service time not cleared upon player's changing of leagues, but all service time is cleared for all leagues present at the time of game start, as soon as possible, prior to any inaugural drafts for said leagues
Trading of recently drafted players not before next offseason
No change in length of schedule, where not required
No team relocations for ten seasons after start
No team nickname changes for ten seasons after start
Automatic evolution on for most options except as listed above
If arbitration is on, Super-Twos must be within the top 10 percent of those with at least two years of service time, or whatever the minimum time is before arbitration ability kicks in for players
All CEIs reversed, player restored to proper team, related injury recovery time set to no more than 18 months' duration, as possible and appropriate, if player is younger than 35, according to Commissioner's discretion
Logical placement of teams and leagues as possible and appropriate and desired
Up to four major leagues per country outside of North America, if appropriate and possible, whether country is real or fictional, at game start. No restrictions for leagues in North America on such, at game start
Historical players may be picked where possible and appropriate, from random years, from time of first non-inaugural draft in each major league, but if so, the inaugural drafts must be conducted with only fictional players

Association Playoffs Rules:

Overall League Champions only
Matchups determined by seeding
First round matchups no more than five games per series with four-league field, three with field greater than four leagues
Second round matchups no more than seven games per series for field of four leagues, five with field of five to eight leagues, three for field larger than eight leagues.
Third round, no more than three games per series for field between nine and sixteen leagues, no more than one game for larger fields of leagues

Optional Rules:

Foreigner limits in certain leagues permissible
Free agency restrictions or availability as each league wishes or requires, if it does not conflict with the above standard rules
Up to six minor league levels and up to four leagues for AAA, six AA, six A leagues, high and/or low (including short-season A), and eight leagues at B-level and below [Probably would have to categorize them as Rookie-level leagues, however]
If leagues have foreigner limits, draft pools must have minimum home nation percentage of 80 percent where appropriate for player generation purposes, and no foreign nation may have a primary percentage of greater than six percent in terms of draftable players for relevant draft pools. No limits, however, for second nationalities of players, or any other related player-generating functions, if the Commissioner doesn't wish to have them
Up to twelve independent leagues at game start, not counting major leagues or associated minor leagues


These are just some ideas I have in mind for a potential joint project we could both perhaps try to put together for the benefit of many here, of course, Eugene. Please feel free to comment as you like on these ideas, or suggest some of your own, if you like and all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

No, thank you for the offer.
I just plan and play my leagues for my own enjoyment.
I'm a control freak and like things to be set up my way.

Overall the years I have been asked many times to join an online league, but I never have done it... I don't use financials... I don't like the business part of baseball.

I just like to create a dynasty league and play it... I enjoy writing about the leagues because it helps me to know the teams and players better... I really love my dynasty leagues... good graphics are very important to me... good graphics really help me to get immersed in a dynasty league.

Graphics are so important to be that I don't read or follow an interesting dynasty league that doesn't have good graphics, no matter how good the dynasty league idea or concept is.

And I currently really believe in small leagues with 6 to 12 teams... too many teams to cover takes so much of the enjoyment away from me.

My Islandian Pro Alliance is far too large... 64 teams are really time-consuming to cover... but I've been doing it for over 15 years and I love the league... but many times in recent years I have thought about ending it... but I'm addicted to it and can't let it go.

I only enjoy the IPA when I play out the playoff games... recapping the league in the regular season takes me about 10 hours of hard labor to cover each period... use to be a monthly recap... now I just do a preseason preview... first month of play recap... midseason recap... stretch drive recap and then the final season recap... that's about 100 hours of work.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Then who might be interested in something like this, perhaps, in your view? Just wondering, that's all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

How about having the IPA break up into smaller leagues, and then have the IPA turn into a league association, now that we have that capability, then, Eugene? Perhaps some sort of event could spark significant changes in the IPA, and cause re-alignment, et cetera, for example. Mix things up a little, perhaps, but also keep some rivals together for tradition's sake, at least.

Maybe you could put the teams that are historically the best in the history of the IPA in one new league, and the worst in another, while mixing up the others periodically. For instance, you could mix teams together periodically by using the ability to promote and relegate teams like you do in your NIRL and SIRL dynasties. For that matter, perhaps you can even make things a bit more interesting if you thought about mixing in those teams into the promotion-relegation ladder, come to think of it.

Just some thoughts you might want to consider here, that's all. I know you have items for numerous teams from Knuckler, txranger, and any number of others. Why not use them, in a major shakeup-type thing for the IPA and/or your other dynasties?

Thank you for your time and attention here and all. I'm not totally satisfied with the latest team's looks seen above, to be sure. But in the fictional nation mentioned above for it, the bird that would probably look most like a raven of some sort might also have at least some bits, if not areas, of mustard yellow, dark jungle green, and white on its body and/or head and/or beak, et cetera, I think, as I'd envision its likely looks most of the time, if not all the time, in said nation. CD out.

Don't know for sure, but it seems to me about 10% of the OOTP folks are solo players like me... 10% might play online leagues... the other 80% play MLB using real players and the current day rosters... they don't have to do anything but just play the game... OOTP has already set up the MLB league for you... if I play using real players, I wouldn't use 30 teams... I would choose the original 16 franchises and use the American League and National League and play a World Series at the end of the season, pitting the champion of the AL against the champion of the NL in the World Series... I would not use the Minor Leagues... I would use a reserve roster for my new players... I would just play a simple league with no finances.

I don't think you would be able to be in an online league because you would have problems dealing with the other owners... as you know it is difficult for you to relate to people... as I see it, I'm am just about the only person that can get along with you... I'm just about the only person who will help you... you have gotten very little help on the Graphics Forum... did low help you with your request when you contacted him by private message... you irritated him by make a personal request in his thread.

I think you should just set up a small solo league.
Choose 16 of your favorite teams that have graphics already done that you like... make it two 8-team divisions... and then set it up and play it.

Also consistently and systematically write about it in a Dynasty Forum report... post about it every 2 to 3 days
Just cover your league... stop posting about the novel you are writing... no one but you is interested in your novel... just create a league and play it... that's how to enjoy OOTP baseball.
Stop your daydreaming and fantasizing about possible worlds and leagues... just keep it simple and enjoy the game.

That's what I would do if I were you.

My advice to you is to decide how large a league you enjoy... then set up one league and make it exactly what you want... decide on the number of teams and the number of divisions... then pick the teams and the team nicknames... personally I would choose fictional teams that have already have good logos, jerseys and caps designed by the best graphics people.

I would install the graphics in the game and I would cover it in a one dynasty league on the OOTP Dynasty Forum.

I would then enjoy that dynasty league.

Your problem is you don't know what you want... you just daydream and fantasize about leagues and you don't seem to ever play and enjoy them.

I'm happy with the IPA as it is now... I don't want to spend time restructuring it... I just want to play each season and report on it in the IPA Dynasty Forum.
I keep my league simple... and I actually play them regularly... you don't seem to play games... you just seem to want to create dream leagues with dream graphics that you will never get anyone to create for you... you are wasting your time on the Graphics Forum... no one seems to want to help you... except for me... the reason is you make too many requests and too many complicated requests.

And you also get into trouble by posting your requests in other people's threads that don't want people posting requests... low, Lawn Loaf and others do not want people to make personal requests in their threads... they have a theme and that's all they are going to do... just post teams that they want to post.... they are not there to do personal requests... you need to understand that.

Sorry, but that's the honest truth.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, if you ever get bored with how things are with it, maybe you might want to consider the suggestions I just made, periodically. But if you aren't bored too much at any time, then by all means, keep things as they are at a particular time, of course.

Yes, I do often think about many things, but focus is often more of a challenge for me with them, whether real-life things or not, than it may be for others, of course. I don't know how much of that is because of my AS, or because of other reasons, but it's still quite true for me, in any case.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my latest story, unfortunately, which will require me to write some tragedy into it for a bit, so that certain characters can grow and all in the story as needed. I don't write tragedy very well, if at all, typically. But it will be required for at least parts of chapters eight through eleven, it seems, given the current needs of said story.

Let me give you a basic rundown of the first seven chapters of my story as they stand at the moment, so you can get at least a glimpse of how things are for my narrator and/or those around him, if I may, Eugene. I won't go into great detail here, but maybe you can suggest possible ideas I might want to consider here, as I write the story in question, just the same.

Chapter one has someone conversing with a number of people about certain important matters in his life, before he gets whisked to a time and a place not his own, and finds himself on an unexpected adventure of some sort.

Chapter two has him landing in that strange time and strange place, and encountering a number of people, among other things that happen to him and/or around him.

Chapter three has the narrator starting to become a mentor, as certain things start to happen, and people are found that he'll be associating with for quite some time, et cetera.

Chapters four and five bring the rest of the major characters into the story, as needed and as possible.

Chapter six has several people starting to train with each other after they've finally met each other for the first times, if they haven't already met by then.

Chapter seven has training continuing for many people, before adversity begins to arise for many, if not all, of them.

That brings me to the point in the story where I am now at. In this next chapter, chapter eight, I plan to have a number of tragic events, among other things, start to happen for and/or around certain characters, after a major character has run off from all those they were with not long before. I also want to make this a largely transitional chapter to the next part of the story from the first part of it for its main action, if I can.

Chapter nine has my narrator becoming the main mentor to a number of people in the absence of the major character who has just run off, and training sessions continuing for those now under him here.

Chapter ten has mysterious events occurring, as more news reaches those who my narrator is now the main mentor of in the story.

Chapter eleven should have yet-unconfirmed rumors of that major character's potential demise or descent into potential insanity, I think.

That's as far as I've gotten in terms of planning out potential events in said story, unfortunately, as of yet. If you can think of any good ideas/suggestions I might want to consider for possible progress for this story, even if it's just reading material I might want to see about looking at, please feel free to share them, if and when you like and can.

Thank you for your time and attention and all here, of course, Eugene. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

No offense, CD.
But I have no interest in your novel... if you want to write a novel, then proceed and write it, but don't include it here on the OOTP Dynasty Forum... this is a baseball forum for OOTP gamers... the gamers have no interest in your novel... it has no place here... no one but you is interested in this novel of yours.

Write it at home and keep it on your computer... but it would be best if you didn't talk about your novel here in this dynasty.

This dynasty thread should be about a league that you are playing and reporting on... all you are doing here is just rambling about the dynasty you want to create... you spend all of your time daydreaming about your novel and the leagues you want to create... you post team jerseys for leagues you are daydreaming about.

Create a dynasty league... play it, have some fun and enjoy your league... and report on it here in the dynasty Forum... and leave your novel out of this thread.

And please don't post another long, verbose post about your novel... no one is interested in it.

[Eugene Church]

You have posted almost 1000 posts in the thread... very little of it is about reporting what's happening in your dynasty league.

People read dynasty threads to follow a dynasty league.

Give them one to follow.

Right now, this dynasty report is useless... it is just a way for you and I to communicate... there is very little news about the teams in the dynasty league... all it is your daydreaming ramblings... and leagues you want to create... and too much about your novel... and little else.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Actually, almost 700, you a little over 300. Many, if not most, however, posts in this thread since last September probably haven't really advanced the related dynasties very far, I admit.

I've pretty much used this thread for a while as a means of communicating with you so that I can better avoid upsetting others by posting in their own threads needlessly and all. I'm trying to avoid doing that, as you know, and you yourself said if I primarily stick to my own threads, people won't be as likely to get mad at me on these forums, I believe.

In any case, you're not mad at me or anything, are you? I hope not, of course.

I'm a bit frustrated at the moment, as well, about certain things, and that's probably making it hard for me to focus well enough on certain things in my life at times. Nothing wrong with being a dreamer, I think, but one must also learn to focus better at times, and all, no doubt.

It's like I often have a lot of things on my mind, so it's hard to keep many things straighter, I suspect, Eugene. And this world often has many things happening so fast, all at the same time, that it's often quite hard to know just what's going on at a particular time and all, doesn't it?

Now I'm much younger than you are, obviously, but back when you were young, I'm sure you didn't have quite as many distractions as many youngsters have nowadays. I have no doubt, that in many ways, it was a much simpler, and much more civil, and much more peaceful time than how things often are in today's world. There may have been any number of distractions, of course, but computers weren't really a major impact like they are nowadays before the 1980's and 1990's, I'm quite sure.

Must have been quite a life back when you were young, compared to now for many younger people, right? But even if that was the case back then for many of your generation, the life to come will make even the most positive experiences in this life seem like nothing, compared to even the first taste of eternity with our Master, when we finally meet Him face-to-face, if we belong to Him, and Him to us, et cetera, you know.

I doubt I'll miss this life when the next one begins. Sure, sports and games and all are fun, to a degree, but they can't possibly compare to what the Lord has to offer those who love Him and seek His face and all, with true hearts and all, for sure. The Lord has many things waiting for us in eternity, you know. But in order to receive them, we'll have to make it to His presence and stay in it forever, obviously.

Thanks for your friendship and all, most definitely, EC. Take care, I hope, Lord willing and all, of course. CD out.

Do you mean this thread?

It looks like I am one of the few people that read your thread.
I do it to help you... hopefully you will one day set up a league... find some graphics to use... play it... and report on it... by "report", I mean cover the league in general... giving standings... recapping the season and the playoffs in some way... in general terms or in detail.

No, CD... I am not mad at you... I just occasionally get frustrated when we rehash the same old things we have rehashed many times before.

Then I think of the progress you have made over the last year or two and the frustration goes away.

You are much better relating to people now... you still have a ways to go... you still occasionally make UNINTENTIONAL comments which can offend people, especially the ones that don't understand you.

You have stopped posting multiple threads on the OOTP Forums.
Please just post one thread at a time on a Forum... that way no one can get upset with you.

Do not make complicated requests that people have trouble understanding.

Just keep it simple... just stick to the basics in your requests and you might get some help.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

No, I meant the idea I mentioned for a scenario-type setup as seen above, EC, with th various rules and all, that I and at least one other person could perhaps flesh out and/or create. The idea you didn't have any interest in working on with me, that is.

Yes, I'm aware that I often find it hard to focus on things well enough at times, and yes, I know I should try to finish more things and all, before starting new ones, but it's often hard for me, when I'm often easily distracted from doing them, et cetera. I don't like it, of course, but I still do try to do better, if and when I can, for sure, as best as I can.

I'm glad you're not mad at me, EC. One thing that has been hard to deal with at times is that I'm no longer in regular contact with many of my friends from that virtual world that closed down in November 2016. Consequently, I have not been able to maintain certain associations as well as I might have liked, especially since most of the people I know or knew I only basically knew from seeing them in that virtual world. I probably was in regular touch with at least 50-100 people from that world whenever I would see them in Kaneva at times, but now, I've probably not heard from at least 30-40 of those very often in the time since then. And I know at least two of them are now dead, and there probably are at least one or two others who've died that I knew there that have left this world as well. I probably wasn't given the personal email addresses of certain people from there by them as well, at times, come to think of it. So if that's true, I probably couldn't contact them, and they probably couldn't contact me as well, obviously.

So hopefully this helps you understand my situation better, when it comes to associating with many people quite often in my life. I don't know many other people besides my online friends and my family very well, I'm quite sure, as well. So obviously, that's going to affect certain things in my life at least a little, if not a lot, don't you think?

Seeing as nobody's yet done the logos I still need for that major logos-related request, at least for the applicable league and its related subleague logos, do you think you perhaps could try and do them, please? I've started a thread for the Turtle Pilgrim 001 dynasty, and I intend to use them in relation to that dynasty, as necessary and as appropriate, whenever I mention the related minor league and/or its teams, for sure. I'd certainly be most appreciative if someone could do them, whether it's you or someone else, just so you know.

Actually it was about six months ago when I said I'd take a significant break from requesting items from other people, remember? I think I said at least two or three months at the time, if memory serves.

Yes, we've probably discussed certain topics at great length any number of times, but often it does take me a while for things to sink well enough into this Turtle Pilgrim's head, so to speak, in truth, like it or not. And we'll probably go over certain things again any number of other times as well, I think, until that sort of thing happens for me with them well enough.

I do try to keep from posting too many threads too quickly, but it's not always easy for me, because I've often got a lot of things running through my head at certain times, you see. Such as my novel, for instance, and talking, or in this context, writing them out, often helps me better figure things out at times, especially when others give their thoughts on the things I'm thinking about. Or the people I'm thinking about, et cetera.

It often helps me when I have other people's perspectives on certain matters or people, and more than once, it has helped me progress with various things. In essence, on these boards, you're sort of a sounding board for me and my thoughts about certain matters, et cetera, I'm sure. And I hope I am for you at times, or at least I'd like to be, if I can, and if it's the Lord's will that I be for you, anyway, regarding certain things.

Thank you for your time and all, Eugene. It is much appreciated, just so you know. Talk to you later, if and whenever possible and all, Lord willing, of course. CD out.

Something that might interest you, somehow. Had an inaugural draft of almost 1300 players from a certain file on my computer for a new dynasty, most of them rather well-known and/or famous players, and the subject of the screenshot ended up on a certain team, because of that draft. Several other players unexpectedly ended up on certain other teams, and some are literally crushing things where they've been playing, so to speak, for sure.

With that, I will say no more about the aforementioned player during this post, at least. If you want to know about any other players, and where they might have ended up, feel free to ask, and I'll tell you if they've appeared yet, of course. CD out.

Here you go. Musial's page at the end of the 1900 season. That is all. CD out.
