It is probably better to search for a term or terms first by presences in at least one thread, if not more than one, then by post, especially with terms that may commonly be used on these forums, EC. That's if you don't do an advanced search, anyway, it seems to me. CD out.

What is the advanced search?... is it better than a simple search?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

It depends, Eugene. Say you want to look for a certain user or certain thread you may have forgotten the exact name of, for instance. Advanced search can help in that regard. If you want the exact name of the user, in the former case, then you need to checkmark the exact name box in that part of the screen. If not, just input the letters you can definitely recall for sure.

On the left side of your screen, you can search by keyword(s), while on the right, you can search by user name. In the area designated for search by keyword(s), you can then tell the forums to conduct said search either by searching entire posts or by searching titles only that incorporate the keyword(s) currently in question for you on the forums. Still on the left side, you can find threads with x number of replies, find threads from a certain time and either newer or older, the sorting order conditions, and then either as threads or as posts, as you like.

On the right side, you can search by tag and/or you can search in one or more forums, once you select the forum or forums you wish the search to happen in for the keyword(s) or user(s) you're trying to find on the forums. I don't believe you can search for both keyword(s) and user(s) at the same time, though, using advanced search, but i could be wrong about that, of course, EC. You can also have the search look in child forums, if you have that box checked, for sure.

Once everything is set up for the desired search parameters as you then might like them to be here, you can click on Search Now, or you can click on Reset Fields. Under that line, there is another pull-down bit where you can either save or clear search preferences if you like, just before you hit Go or Search Now. Hope all the above information here helps you out here quite a bit, EC. CD out.

CD, please see posts #2850 and 2851 of my IPA thread. Career statistics of your two Freemans.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, jg2977. Thank you for the information. Will do so momentarily from the time of this post. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

jg2977, what are GCF's pitching ratings like for things such as his repertoire of pitches and all, for instance? Seeing as his primary position at the moment seems to be CF as the AI has him, I'd like to see what his pitching ratings are like now if you were to temporarily switch his primary position to his current secondary one. Think you could show me what those are soon, perhaps? Thanks in advance if you do so, of course.

By the way, I submitted a ticket related to my Freeman Dynasty 001. Hopefully, it can somehow be recovered easily enough without me ultimately having to go back roughly 18 months of in-game time to the beginning of things again, but we'll have to see what happens in relation to it, obviously. I'll keep both you and EC posted on related matters to that dynasty as best as I can, as often as I can, until I know for sure whether or not the game in question can be recovered easily enough or not, for sure.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, of course. Thanks again for having the Freemans in your IPA, jg2977. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Looks like someone already did the San Francisco Fire and other teams for a certain graphics request, and did them much better than I probably could or likely will soon be able to do. But that doesn't mean I won't still try and do usable enough items for them ASAP myself, of course. Or any other graphics you two or others might perhaps be interested in or want me to try and make well enough here later, Lord willing and all, that is.

I hope to see much more of your IPAs and all soon, of course, you two. Especially as far as the Freemans are concerned, you know. Please try and take care and all, and I'll write more here soon, I'm sure, Lord willing and all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Why out of the blue did you state an opinion about MLB moving the All-Star Game?... there has been no mention of that in this thread.

CD, remember to stay on topic in a thread... this is a graphics thread... not a political thread.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Sorry, EC, was too early in the current day, I think, for me in this instance when I made that particular post, and was trying to stay out of another thread, for obvious reasons. Was trying to stick to my own thread, instead. Will delete the above shortly. CD out.

Good... that would be good.

The Freemans are having a rather tough stretch of things of late in my GTL league. GC currently has a five-game pitching losing streak, and AG still isn't hitting well. Motley's Misfits are 12-28 after 40 games out of 154, and their defense is terrible in many cases, as well. But the uniforms and caps I made for them still look fairly nice, I think.

I don't have any non-generic logos for them yet. But hopefully soon, I'll be able to find something that will work well for them, or someone will hopefully be able to make a suitable enough logo or some such logos for them with the proper colors for them, by the end of the season. Same thing with any other team that doesn't have any logos for them yet, of course.

I'm waiting to see if hk will make some picture-related secondary logos for the Bethlehem Bards that I can include on any potential caps and/or uniforms I'd make for them, but there's no need to really hurry on them at this point, I think. Even though we are now more than a quarter of the way through the current season for the Good Times League. I don't know what colors most of the teams in the GTL should have for their respective team colors yet, either. However, once I see what others might do for the teams I mentioned in my earlier logos-related request, then perhaps I can know better what might look good for the other teams not yet with enough items for them here.

Thank you for your time and attention and all here, EC. Talk more with you later, I'm sure, Lord willing and all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some items for a potential future minor league affiliate of the Atlanta Hustlers as they are so far. No logos yet, mind you, but this is still what I have for such a potential future team associated with the Atlanta Hustlers. They'll probably need to be worked on more later, of course, but not for at least a little while longer, uniforms and caps-wise. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Post 1376 in this thread is now updated, for your information, folks. But I won't likely be adding the appropriate teams for at least 20-25 years to my Good Times League-related dynasty, supposing I can have the dynasty last at least that long here, in truth. Let's see what happens, though, of course, to be sure.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

jg2977, how did the Freemans both do in 1958 and 1959, statistics and accomplishments-wise? What do their respective careers' statistics in terms of batting, pitching, and fielding look like so far? What do their recent scouting reports look like? What do their current and potential ratings look like now? Hope to see answers to all these questions soon, if possible, of course. Thanks again for having them in your IPA, as well. CD out.

CD, jg2977 has already told you he would not go into great detail about the Freemans.

Here is his post #1426 on page 72 in this thread:

I’ll be glad to create more of your players for my IPA, but I beyond that I won’t pay much attention to them. The way that I play my league is to simulate to the playoffs, watch each game, post the playoff box scores, league awards at the end of the season, then Hall of Famers. My goal is to play out as many seasons as possible and develop a huge history. I don’t have the time or interest in posting hundreds of screenshots for each created player.

I’ll add two more Freemans, but that’s it. I don’t want my league to become the Freeman IPA. 4 will be plenty. If you have some other names, I’ll consider them.

I suggest that you create your own dynasty and then you can pay attention to your created players in as much detail as much as you like.

I'm not asking him to create any more Freemans or any other players, or make any more changes to their respective player profiles any time soon here, for sure. I just haven't seen their related statistics and all yet for the 1958 and 1959 seasons of his version of the IPA, or at least not for the most part, anyway. I know AG got at least one more award in 1958, at least, but not much more than that, if I remember correctly, and I don't know about how GC did in 1958 yet, to be honest. Or 1959 yet for either, seeing as neither Glasco nor Hillsboro made the postseason in 1959, for that matter.

I was merely hoping for an update or two on their respective playing careers from him to whatever degree or degrees he might want to provide for me here, that's all, EC. He can do it in this thread, or his own thread, if and when he likes, of course, or not, if he doesn't want to do that at a particular time.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are two brand-new flags I semi-created within the last 24-48 hours, most likely, starting with fake flags from fakeflags.net, using elements from various real-world nations and/or areas' flags to start with. After first downloading the base flags from that site, I then recolored some areas for the elements in question, as well, either in MS Paint or Paint 3D, and added stars to one of them manually, when I couldn't add them at fakeflag.net directly. I have also done the same things with certain other flags I got the base elements from on that site, as well, to be sure.

The first is for the fictional nation of Prokiru, which you will learn much more about once I create a relevant dynasty thread on the forums, if and whenever I can possibly do so well enough, folks. The second is for a potential rival nation called Jatrela, also a fictional nation which may be mentioned periodically in that same dynasty thread, just so you all know this here well enough. My Good Times League will be based in Prokiru, while there may eventually be a league based in Jatrela you will eventually hear about at some length in the relevant dynasty thread.

These flags may both not look exactly as I might actually envision the true national flags of the two fictional nations currently in question here, mind you all. But at least these are some flags those nations could still perhaps have for them in OOTP at the very least, if not also FHM, I think. Even though they'll probably need to be worked on more later, or re-imagined later, et cetera, of course, that is. That is all for now, then. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

This basic map is for Jatrela, represented by the second flag in the post above this one. It will certainly need more work, of course, but this is what I have present for it so far. I don't have the bodies of water that may exist in or around Jatrela named yet, except for the ocean, obviously, but at least work has started on the map, if nothing else, folks. It will have to be fleshed out more as time permits and all, if at all possible, but here's what I have for it so far, in any case. I envision this nation to be somewhere near Prokiru, but I haven't yet decided just how near to it Jatrela should be.

But I will suppose that it might be within 500 or so miles of it, more or less, for story and dynasty-related purposes, within three time zones either west or east of it, if not less. I'll keep you all posted, once I have figured out more of the needed relevant details, and once I've started a dynasty report thread related to Prokiru and potentially other nations as well, including Jatrela. That's all for now, then, everyone, I think. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Nice map, CD.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Looks like Freeman Dynasty 001 is back in business, so to speak, thankfully. Will keep you posted, folks, on its progress from June 18, 1902, in due time, I expect, if and when possible and appropriate and all.

In the meantime, I will try to progress more with my Good Times League-related dynasty as I can and all, of course, based in Prokiru, at least. Although now that I seem to have been able to recover most of the progress of the aforementioned other dynasty, though not necessarily all of it, it may not proceed as fast as it has been since I experienced a crash with my Freeman Dynasty 001 in the last several weeks. Please stay tuned. Of course, I have other things that I want or need to do in the near future, if at all possible, but it remains to be seen if I'll still be able to do them, you know.

That's all for now, at least, then, I think. Thank you for your time and all, and I hope to hear a good deal more from you all about various things, and maybe even do some graphics every so often along the way, as well, if I can. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Looks like only about two weeks of the Freeman Dynasty 001 I have now was lost to the game crash, for it seems that I'd only gotten up to about June 29, 1902 for the relevant dynasty by then. The last good autosave prior to the crash was evidently from June 18, 1902. So that is where I have had to pick up from, with my St. Louis Sentinels team for that dynasty. It's much better overall that it was only about two weeks that I'd have to replay, et cetera, than to have to go all the way back to the beginning, of course, for sure.

Gordon Clyde Freeman is already present in the Freeman Dynasty 001, although he's not played long in its league yet. And I have now added Arthyr Gyolgi Freeman to the 1902 draft pool for the relevant league in that dynasty too. Other Freemans and various other created players will be added to the league's appropriate draft pools, of course, as the need and ability arises for them to be, folks.

As far as their performances in my Good Times League-related dynasty, they've got a lot more development they'll need to have to become real stars, seeing as they're both still rookies in it, along with everyone else, at 20 and 19 years old, respectively. GC is currently on a hot streak, at least pitching-wise, at the moment, while AG still hasn't really gotten hot hitting and all in his own playing career. As things stand now for them both in the GTL, I think AG might be a better player on average than GC when they're both finally developed, but we'll have to wait and see what happens to them both later on, folks.

As for graphics that I'll add later to this thread, I'll try to add them to it as I can, as best as I can and all, for sure, just so you all know this well enough here. Won't likely be able to do any real original logos for a while yet, I think, but perhaps I can do caps and uniforms, at least, that you might each like and be willing to consider using for your own teams, folks. That's all for now, at least, then, I think. CD out.
