SBC (Predecessor of SRL) Champions going into 1877 season

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

If you can get good logos made to go along with the uniforms provided, I will certainly make a few items mostly in red for you to perhaps use as possible alternates. And I will also see about making at least one home white uniform and at least one yellow away uniform with something other than Blazers on the front of either, if not more than one apiece. Do you want pinstriped versions for the Blazers as well, come to think of it? If so, please advise. Thank you. CD out.

One of your paragraphs should read, instead of how you had it in post two of your new thread, as this, I think, in the interest of honesty and clarity:

CD does not mean to offend us here on the Forum, but he does ... it is unintentional when he says something that we take as inappropriate ... CD often knows what he wants to say, but often has a problem with wording what he says properly, especially when he can't figure out just how to say something and when to say it at any time ... That is why CD would periodically make posts requesting many teams at any time, especially with highly detailed requests ... CD would hijack or divert threads unintentionally and unknowingly with large and complicated requests ... that's just the way that CD is ... CD can't normally give you a simple request or a simple answer ... his posts are often very wordy and so verbose to the point that you don't generally want to read them.

You may also want to put spaces between each paragraph for readability's sake, I think, as well. Okay? CD out.

Sorry, CD... substance is what concerns me when I post... not grammar... I don't really worry about being grammatically correct as far as paragraphs... I just try to create a new paragraph when I go to a change in subject... it is not important to me.

Sorry, if it affects your readability... no one else seems to be concerned about it... I've been posting almost 20 years on the OOTP Forums... only one time did anyone mention "paragraphs"... and they were correct...they were too long... so I began breaking up my posts by paragraphs as best I could.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Fine, EC. I guess it's the writer part of me that notices that sort of thing easier, often, at least. At the moment, however, my latest chapter for Lighting Up the Darkness seems to not want to be over, unfortunately. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it done soon, so I can move to the next chapter of it sooner than later.

I'm still hoping to have at least a dozen chapters done for it by the end of October, but with me being stalled on it for a while, that may be hard to accomplish for me at this point. I'm already about two weeks past my planned completion date for chapter ten, and it looks that once I get it done, it may take a good while to complete chapter eleven as well.

Lord willing, and all, I still hope to somehow finish the first draft of the entire story by December 2021, and get the final draft done by the time I've made it to thirty years out of high school in June 2022. I've still got probably at least another fifteen chapters to write of the story before I can perhaps call it completed, I think.

I don't know exactly how the rest of the story is going to go in the writing or editing of it along the way, but I'm still hopeful that by the time I'm done writing the story, it will be a very good one, of course. I'll probably have to cut out or change a lot of what I already have for the story, or will have, between the first and final drafts of the story, or even add a lot more content to it between those times, but I think there is definitely potential there for a good story, if done well and all, in any case.

Thank you for your time and friendship and all, of course, EC. It is very much appreciated, and you and yours are still often in my thoughts and prayers even in these particularly troubled times. And I really hope things don't get too bad in New Orleans or Mobile and other places near you, obviously, as well, like they are in many places, unfortunately. What is happening now with all this rioting is terrible, and all this wanton destruction and death and violence and erasing of American history, among other things, is not right, for sure.

I will most definitely continue to pray for you and yours in these perilous times that try men's souls, men in this context meaning the souls of all humans on this planet, while also remembering that one day, we who truly love Him will be HOME with the Master of the Universe, and He will make all things right, putting all evil away forever for eternity. What a day that will be when we can finally see Him face-to-face, never to be parted from Him again for any reason needlessly and all. CD out.

One of these days, CD, we will meet each other and walk on streets of gold.
Looking forward to seeing you in person, my friend.

[Eugene Church]

CD, you can improve the Hillsboro Blazers if you would like.
Make these changes and see how they come out.

Use all capital letters (upper case) for BLAZERS lettering on the Home Yellow Jersey... that's the only change needed... the lower case "L" doesn't look good next to the "A"... the "L" and the "A" look like they are joined together.

Instead of a Black Jersey, use Yellow Jersey on the Away Jersey... that's the only change needed... "Hillsboro" with the capital "H" followed by the lower case letters is fine.

Make a White Home Jersey with BLAZERS in all capital lettering (upper case) with White shoulder sleeves.

If you want to make some more alternates using pinstripes, that is fine with me.
Put pinstripes on the White Home Jersey with BLAZERS (all caps)... use White Short Sleeves.

Put pinstripes on a Yellow Away Jersey with Hillsboro (not all caps) with yellow short sleeves.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Fine, I'll see what I can do, EC. In return for me trying to do so here, as soon as I can, and when I can, please make the changes suggested/requested, if you don't mind, to the second post in your new thread, at least, That's so we can both be as honest and as accurate as currently possible about the both of us and our relationship with each other, as necessary and all.

I really don't want people to believe things about either of us or both of us that are not actually true, you see. If they're going to be able to deal honestly with me and me with them, they do honestly need to know the real truth of certain things, as far as we can currently tell them, and all, I think.

Can you understand where I'm coming from here with my thoughts? Of course, they don't need to know everything about us and our relationship with each other, but where it relates to certain forum-related matters and all, I think they do, for everyone's peace of mind and all. And by being as honest and as accurate with them, as needed and as possible, we will also bring great glory to the One who made us and sustains us both in His Universe, you know.

Will talk more later, I'm sure, if possible. Hope to see the requested/suggested changes to your second post in your new thread soon, of course. With all my brotherly love in Christ, I will now close this post to you here, EC. CD out.

I'm sorry, CD, but where am I not being honest in what I said?
Please keep it simple and concise and tell me what was not true in the posts?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

The way you have the applicable paragraph now, it's not entirely accurate, I believe. This, however, is more accurate, in terms of me, at least, it seems:

CD does not mean to offend us here on the Forum, but he does ... it is unintentional when he says something that we take as inappropriate ... CD often knows what he wants to say, but often has a problem with wording what he says properly, especially when he can't figure out just how to say something and when to say it at any time ... That is why CD would periodically make posts requesting many teams at any time, especially with highly detailed requests ...

CD can't normally give you a simple request or a simple answer ... his posts are often very wordy and so verbose to the point that you don't generally want to read them.

Other than that, the rest of the post is essentially accurate, and honest, in terms of things related to me. The rest can stay as is, I think. It's basically the relevant paragraph in your post that is not entirely accurate, as far as I can tell easily enough.

Thank you for your time and friendship and all, in any case, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Yes, you're right that I'm quite glad, at least, to see that rocknfire7 likes some of my items. I'm hoping others do too, of course, even if they're not like many other people's items on the forums. Could you ask around and see how many people are writers here on the forums, even if you have to do it privately, because I seem to have some problems at times with my writing projects, please?

I also could use some help coming up with some maps for certain nations of mine, including Slaabovia, where much of Lighting Up the Darkness is set, in truth. But not being as much of a visual artist as I am a literary artist of sorts, I've not really been able to lock down certain geographic details and all for certain nations of mine sufficiently well, in graphical form. I know where I want several nations to be, and I have a general idea of how I want their islands or landmasses to be, but I can't exactly make good maps very well, if at all.

I'll talk more later, when and where I can, Lord willing, I'm sure. Thank you again for trying to help me and all, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

And yes, our Master gave me the inspiration and all for every bit of the work on the Hillsboro Blazers items, I firmly believe. Yes, we are merely His instruments to do good work and all on His world as best as we can in our lives, and nothing good can ever come from humans if it is not from His leading and all, as far as I am concerned, no matter what it is, has been, or will be in the future. Without His leading and all, I never would have been able to do the items I just did for you, or which I may do for you in the future, for sure.

I will play around with the colors more that I have currently for Fairfax, to try to improve their current items as I now have them. Give me some time, and I think I can somehow improve the set's quality from what it's at now, EC.

Will write more later as I can and all. Warmest of wishes to you and yours always, EC. CD out.

It would be easiest just to delete the paragraph that you have a problem with.

So I deleted it.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you. I'll keep you posted on things as needed, where possible and appropriate and all. I'll try to get you some more Hillsboro-related items soon, and you can do with them what you will. CD out.

I intend to use the Home Yellow Jersey when you change the BLAZERS to all capital letters... in my opinion the lower case letters do not look good... it looks like the "L" is connected to the adjacent "A".

Instead of a Black Jersey, use Yellow Jersey on the Away Jersey... that's the only change needed... "Hillsboro" with the capital "H" followed by the lower case letters is fine.... it looks very good on the jerseys.

I will use the new Hillsboro Jerseys in the coming 2066 IPA season.

Hope you will also do the alternate jerseys, too.

Make a White Home Jersey with BLAZERS in all capital lettering (upper case) with White shoulder sleeves.

If you want to make some more alternates using pinstripes, that is fine with me.
Put pinstripes on the White Home Jersey with BLAZERS (all caps)... use White Short Sleeves.

Put pinstripes on a Yellow Away Jersey with Hillsboro (not all caps) with yellow short sleeves.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I like what Isedelyod has put together so far for the Red Bluff Red Sox. I can't wait to see what else he comes up with for them. You're getting some really good graphics from real artists there, I think, who are much better than me in many ways, graphics-wise.

I can't wait to see the new looks for all the IPA teams that are ultimately going to be rebranded/renamed and all, I think. And I am glad I've been able to help you so far with at least one team here, as well. But most of all, I'm extremely thankful God gave me the leading and the inspiration that He's given me so far with what I've been trying to do here for your IPA, at least, of course.

I hope to be able to get at least more of my story written somehow before I finally go to bed tonight, but we'll have to see if that'll happen for me, obviously. Please pray for me and all those around me as you will and all, according to His leading and all, EC. Okay? CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You're referring to the Greyhound version of the Blazers yellow home uniform, I take it? As for certain letters appearing to be connected, on certain items, that may be the case because of the spacing used for the item or items in question, I believe. If that's true, I might have to do a bit more tinkering with things here. I'll keep you posted.

Until later, then, I'll close this. CD out.

Edit: Upon much closer inspection, at maximum zooming-in, the letters in question are NOT actually connected to each other. But I can certainly see how they can look that way, for sure, at normal magnification and/or zooming. I'll see if I can't improve that particular uniform a bit more for you, though, in any case, as soon as I can, EC. CD out.

CD, just use all capital letters for BLAZERS on the Home Yellow Jersey... that's all you need to do.


I can see it's just the way the font is on the lower case letters... there is a little small hook on the "L" that makes it look like it is connected to the "A", even though it is not really connected when you zoom in on it.... I know that... and I understand that... I just would like all caps on BLAZERS... that's all.

Just make it simple and use all caps on BLAZERS... that will fix it simply and quickly.

[Eugene Church]

All I want you to do on the Home Black Jersey is just change the Main Jersey Color to Yellow... that's all.

Do not use Black as the Main Jersey Color.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Working on it now, in fact. Hopefully will have it done shortly, if it isn't done already. Will try to have a few more items done soon as well. Stay tuned to this thread, please. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

The dark uniform above is the first road/away alternate, I believe. Stay tuned, and wait and see what I also come up with for you in relation to the Blazers, please. CD out.
