Graphics Collection from CD's Ultra-Fine House of Style

[Eugene Church]

Here is the box score of the first regular season game.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Looks like Arthyr is older here as well. Maybe we can try again with them in a generation, more or less, somehow, so that GC is older the next time, closer to my birth year of 1973, then, EC. Thanks for including them here, in any case. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I also see you have them from Florida. I and my brother were Missouri-born. Just so you know, EC. CD out.

CD, the AI chooses all of the personal info... I don't worry about those things in my leagues... sorry.

Is it really that important to you? If so, I will put where they were born.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

One doesn't normally have a say in the personal information, unless edited in-game, that a person has in a game? I'm not trying to be unfair and all, of course. I just would hope that certain players, whether real or not, have their proper birth regions/states/nations shown for them in their profiles, in any game.

For instance, when Rynie Wolters comes into a person's game as an imported player, whether automatically or manually, he is listed as American, when actually he was born in the Netherlands. Bruce Sutter and Tom Herr are listed as being from Lancaster in California, when actually both were from Lancaster in Pennsylvania. The game seems to have a problem at least sometimes with cities in different areas having the same name, if they're in the same country, for some yet-unknown reason or reasons.

Do as you wish with the Freemans, but I still would honestly prefer that they at least be listed as being from places in Missouri, not Florida, if possible. Sorry for being so picky here, EC. Actually both me and my brother were born in the same city, but I put AG as being born in Chesterfield in memory of where my Grandma lived when I was younger, prior to her death in 2003. She was the one who used to send me a lot of things related to the Cardinals for a good long time in my life, prior to her death, in fact.

I still miss her, of course, but she was 84 when she left this world, so she probably had a longer life than many in her generation, I'm reasonably certain. While I never actually met Grandpa, for he died when my Dad was very young, he used to play baseball when he was younger, it seems. He was in the USAAF, I believe, during WWII, but still died young in his 30s, from some medical condition I can't currently remember the exact name of, to be honest, unfortunately. I wonder if I would have enjoyed spending time with him had he lived as long as Grandma, but if we both liked baseball, I wonder if we would have loved talking about it a great deal, of course. I believe we would have, in fact. And I hope to meet him one day on the other side of eternity as well, for sure.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I hope. Thank you for your time and all, and your patience and all. It's certainly not easy at times for me to not be so picky at times, I must say, and that's probably at least partly due to me having to deal with AS on a daily basis, if not entirely so, EC. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

What town in Missouri do you want the Freemans to be born in?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

IF you put them from the same place in Missouri, please put them both as being from Columbia. If not, then AG in Chesterfield, and GC in Columbia. Thank you again for having them both in your leagues, in any case. As for my brother in reality, he was born in mid-December 1974. But he went Home to be with Jesus in July 2013. It was no doubt a rather rough life for him seeing as he had a much more profound degree of autism than I have ever had or ever will likely have in my own life. In my view, though, it means that he was and is most likely closer to God in his existence than I will ever be. Or at least in this life, I mean, that is.

While I miss him daily, obviously, I am comforted greatly by the knowledge that there is nothing more in this world, and nobody else in this world, that can ever cause him pain again in it. He is definitely not suffering and he is definitely not in any pain whatsoever any longer like he was here on this planet. For he is with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, and no pain will ever come his way again of any possible kind for sure.

We'll talk more later on, I'm sure, Lord willing and all. And I sincerely thank you yet again for all your kind words and everything else you've helped me with as needed and appropriate and all, EC. And I thank you for all your prayers for me and my family, et cetera, of course, while also keeping you and many others in my prayers and thoughts as best as I can, whenever I can and all, for sure. CD out.

Arthyr's birthplace will be Chesterfield, Missouri and Gordon's will be Columbia, Missouri.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you very much for your understanding and all here, EC. I appreciate that, of course. It's quite nice to see that you are still so willing to work with me, even when I can potentially be rather difficult at times, for sure. You are a blessing to me and so many others here, I have to say, that God blessed us all with, without any doubt at all in my own mind here.

What specific colors would you perhaps recommend for certain teams from Prokiru that are called the Glastonbury Town Criers, the Wyndham Ridge Exiles, the Templeton Bay Slapsticks, Cambridge Eggheads, and/or the Boise Bossmen, at least? I don't think I've decided their respective main team colors yet, to be honest, except for maybe the Town Criers. Just wondering what you would perhaps recommend for each team here, that's all. I'm not totally sold on the Town Criers' colors being navy, white, and some sort of gold at this point, to be sure, Eugene.

My Earth Baseball Association dynasty in OOTP 21 is now in 1875, but 1876 is just a year away now. I'll probably create a dynasty thread for it once we hit 1876. Thinking about turning one of the leagues currently in the dynasty into the North American Baseball Association, supposing that I can find enough graphics to work for certain teams, or make them for myself, so I won't have to create a brand-new league instead for that dynasty then.

I currently have four leagues in the game, but not all of them have suitable logos yet. The leagues in question currently for that dynasty are MLB, the American Federal Baseball Union, the Freedom and Independence Baseball Alliance, and the Dreamfields Baseball Syndicate. I don't have logos for the last three of them at present, and I started each of them in 1871. The AFBU is the only one with teams from Canada actually in it at present, and the Canadian teams in it now are the Expos and the Blue Jays from Montreal and Toronto, respectively. So probably the usual colors of red, white, and blue would be appropriate for each league, but in different styles to each other, as possible and all.

The AFBU has all the expansion teams plus the Chicago Whales and the New Jersey Generals in it, with eight teams in each subleague. The Federal League has teams mainly, if not entirely, from the eastern half of North America, while the Continental League has teams mainly, if not entirely, from the western half of North America, just so you know.

I'll write more about the other two leagues later, as soon as I figure out better how I might want their logos to look, EC. Thank you for your time and all, as usual, for sure. We'll talk much more around here quite soon, I'm sure, Lord willing and all, of course. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Once again, CD...if you want to do another dynasty league, just create a league with 16 teams... two 8-team leagues... no more that... pick your favorite teams from low, Lawn Loaf, txranger... all of these teams have already been created complete with logos, jerseys and caps.... they are ready to go.

If you have created some favorite teams yourself, but lack a logo for them, I will do the best I can on the logos for you... I will try to match the colors of your jerseys and caps on the logo... will try to use the same fonts, too.

But as always, if you are not serious about doing a small league, don't waste my time.

If you get your teams from low, Lawn Loaf, txranger and others on the Mods Forum, I will then finish up your team logos with any teams that you created... if you have teams with jerseys and caps, but no logos, I will help you with them... but you will have to be satisfied with my average talent... EC is nowhere near the other guys in talent.

That's what I did for my South Island Supreme League and Secondary League... and it is a beautiful league to play.

You could create your own dream league like I did, but you are going to have to use other people's logos, jerseys and caps... plus some of your own creations, if you like.

The honest truth is that you will not likely complete all of your leagues... most of them need logos... and you are not going to get anyone to do them for you... look how many times you have asked for help on the Mods Forums for personal requests... very few have been done... just a few.

You seeem to always be working on a league, creating graphics, but you seldom, if ever seem to use them or play your league... you have started 3-4 dynasty reports... rambling, disjointed and not very well done dynasties... and just let them die.

You need to give my suggestion a try.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Actually, the main problem or problems that I'm having from a creative standpoint at the present time is dealing with certain writing-related blocks I am trying to get past. In all honesty, I'd rather be making substantial progress on a number of my stalled stories, whether they're original fiction or fan fiction-type stories. But I'm not actually having much, if any, real success with at least one or two of them of late. And I generally haven't had any real success with them for at least a few weeks, if not longer.

IF I could get going well on them again, then maybe I could make some real progress on them, and get at least one of them done by the time my birthday rolls around again in mid-February. And maybe once I do, I can better firm things up for my various dynasties and progress with them quite a bit as well. But right now, I don't really see much chance of that happening anytime soon, at least in terms of actually being able to complete one of my current writing projects enough for a while, at least, to be completely honest with you here.

Thank you for your advice and all here, and I'll try to keep it in mind, of course, EC. Talk more soon, if and when I can, I'm sure, Lord willing and all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

The EBA dynasty I mentioned will be finishing its 1875 season soon, once I get all the games simulated well enough. It is currently in its fifth season, but I'm not sure just how to approach the 1876 and following seasons just yet. After the season is over for every team in that dynasty, I'll probably have to figure out how to set things up for the 1876 and following seasons. I plan to take this EBA dynasty to at least 1925, if not longer, if and when I can and all. But first I have to get there, Lord willing and all, of course.

Thank you again for your friendship and all, EC. I really appreciate it a great deal. If you'd like, I can create players for you in any of my dynasties, just as you've done for me in yours. Let me know, please, if that interests you at all. CD out.

[knuckler]

The Moon Valley Dreamers logo and uniform is really nice.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Always nice to see knuckler, and even nicer for him to visit my thread here, I think. You're always welcome to come by this thread at any time, knuckler. If any of the teams here strike your fancy well enough, and you're willing to try making up logos for any of the teams I've posted here that may not have them yet, you're more than welcome to try, of course. Please feel free to drop by here, whenever and however you like and can. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

As a matter of fact, I'm working on some items for a team called the Yerba Buena Borderlanders, and I'm using the Winslett font for them. This is what I have for them so far, uniforms-wise, but I'll probably need to add at least a couple more uniforms for them, to go with several caps for them, in any case, of course. CD out.

Edit: Three caps are now made for them, and they all will be posted in the next available post here. CD out.

CD, as you asked me, I went and looked at your thread on the OOTP21 Discussions Forum... no one will take the time to read your complex and complicated request...no one is going to tell you how to set your league up... they have no reason to be interested in it... just do it yourself... it is not that complicated.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some brand-new prospective caps for my fictional Yerba Buena Borderlanders team from Prokiru that I've just made for them so far. More caps may eventually follow, in due time here, of course. But for now, at least, this is all I currently have for them here, in any case. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC and jg2977, at least, would you perhaps like to have players created for you in one or more of my dynasties or not? If so, then please PM me the relevant details, and I'll see what I can do as far as adding them to potential future draft classes for any of them, for sure, within reason. Thank you again for having the Freemans in your own dynasties at the current time, in any case. CD out.

No, thank you, CD... but I appreciate the offer.

Happy Thanksgiving!
