Excelent job, CD.

I don't play 1870s baseball leagues... 1950 is about the earliest for me.

I would use your Worcester Ruby Legs jerseys and caps if I had a league of that era... you did a fine job on them.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Excellent, you say? I tried to do the best I could, in any case, even if they don't match the real-world caps from that era perfectly. Thanks for your comment, Eugene.

I don't know yet if I'll meet my writing goal for the month with "The Journey," though, but I'm still going to try, for sure, to do so, as best as I can and all. Mre than a quarter of the month has passed, and I haven't even met a quarter of the planned goal yet, if I will very soon. I still don't know if I'll be halfway to it by the end of November 15th, of course. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Thank you again for your compliment. What do you think others here would think of the items I've posted in relation to that team? And what might you suggest I do in relation to a logo or logos for them, if they don't actually exist in a visible manner here on the forums somehow now? Please advise. Thank you. CD out.

P.S. It's excellent with two l's, not one. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, let's try this, if the idea is all right with you. Let's see if we can't work together on certain teams' sets for a while, even ones already started. I have a bunch of uniforms already made, and I've mentioned various colors and fonts often in relation to them here.

Let's see if we can't make or get the items we still don't have made, one way or another. Perhaps we can mutually share our work on a thread together, and see what others think, if that's all right with you. We can work from a list of teams either posted in an existing thread, or a new one, if you think that a better idea than to use an already-existing thread.

Hopefully, we could then help each other get better in terms of doing our graphics around here, at least, somehow. While I know you often don't prefer a lot of color in most uniforms, you've obviously seen that I do by now. Maybe we can help each other expand our design tastes and let each other know what fonts we might use with certain designs, as best as possible, and all, I think.

And maybe we could work together to help me better visualize how things might look on the field or ice or court or gridiron for various teams in various leagues and all, as well. And how things might be for certain people in various places, as well. I'm sure both of us, at least, could help each other better flesh out each other's countries and all, come to think of it. Surely there's much more to Ruthlandia and Tycobbia, for instance, than you typically might mention in your IPA reports, isn't there?

Will write more later, I'm sure, if and whenever possible. Lord willing, of course. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Sorry, CD... I don't have time to design logos, jerseys and caps... nor do I have time to expand the countries of Ruthlandian and Tycobbian… it's hard enough just to cover superficially the Islandian Pro Alliance teams.

Actually, you have much better graphic skills than I do... I just have to rely on other people to do my teams... and lately, I just find a team that already has logos, jerseys and caps that I like and I use them... that is basically what I did for the North Island League... I get much better graphics that way rather than using my average stuff.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I meant that there's more to Ruthlandia and Tycobbia than just baseball, isn't there? If so, maybe you could periodically show us what things are often like for several people off the field in the Islands and all, as of the current time in the relevant dynasty, for example.

Talk more later, I'm sure, if and whenever possible, of course. CD out.

Yes, that would really make it a fine dynasty report if I would add personalities and culture to it... cover what's happening in the countries politically and historically... but it would take more talent than I have to do it... also much, much time.

I'm afraid the IPA is what it is... just a stats dump with some very good playoff and postseason coverage... that, I do pretty well.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

At least, think about it. You did it early in your time with the dynasty, to help show the setting of the dynasty's teams and events and all, didn't you? Why not show at least a little of what's happened off the field since the last time you did so, where and when possible and all? Especially for those who are just beginning to follow the thing, you know. Just a few thoughts here, that's all.

As for the other idea I suggested, let's think about teaming up somehow. Obviously we'd both not yet be at the level that knuckler and txranger, among others, might be now, if we'd both ever improve greatly with our skills and all. But between you and I, we have a lot we could perhaps offer each other, and of course many others here, if we worked together according to our Lord's leading and all. You've got life experiences out your proverbial ears, I'm sure. And I have some rather interesting ways of doing things, and thinking of various things, for my part of things, if I'm not too mistaken here.

At least think about the idea for a while, okay? Who knows but God whether we could both surprise a lot of people here artistically and all, at least as of yet, right? CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Are you planning to have any teams change their nicknames anytime soon? If so, perhaps I could try to come up with some items they might use, if that's all right with you, Eugene. Okay? CD out.

No... don't have any plans of changing team nicknames... did several changes two seasons ago.

Yeah, I started off doing the IPA right with good background stuff, but like many other dynasties, I didn't follow up on it and it became just a recap dynasty report, a stats dump, but with good recaps and very good graphics, I think.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, if and when you feel you need or want to change certain names, and I might be around at that time, then please feel free to let me know, if and when you like. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Almost 13,400 words now and counting for the story currently in question here for me. I'll probably need to pick up the writing pace at least a little bit here, if I want to be able to somehow meet my current writing goal of at least 50,000 words by December 1st, for this story. Will keep you posted on my progress, if you like. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

A little over 14,800 words and counting so far. Will keep you posted. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Almost 16,200 words and counting, so far. Just began writing chapter five of the story currently in question here. Still thousands of words behind the average likely pace so far this month, it seems, though. Will keep you posted. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Jersey-related graphics for at least the Achynbara Mavericks and the Amjasi Farmers have now been posted to my DeviantArt profile, and other graphics I've made, or should make eventually, will likely end up there periodically as I might wish to post them. Along with anything else I might decide to post to it, as well, of course. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Anashe Jazz jerseys, at least, have now been posted to my DeviantArt profile, just in case you're interested in checking it out later, Eugene. More uniforms, at least, should eventually be posted there as well.

As for my recently-created Sideworlds Baseball-related dynasty, I am at the 1875 All-Star Break for the only league currently in that game. I plan to add at least a version of Major League Baseball and the first league for the North American Baseball Association, come the next off-season.

However, I don't necessarily want to start with all the usual MLB franchises for the 1876 season. I would like to use my Worcester Ruby Legs-related items in the new league's first season, but I'm not sure what other North American cities I should start this game's version of Major League Baseball with here. I was thinking perhaps the Ruby Legs could replace one of the Boston teams when I create the league in question. Do you have any suggestions which cities to use, and what their team names could perhaps be, et cetera? If there aren't any items made for them already that I can find, maybe I could make them, of course.

Please advise at your leisure and all, if you like, Eugene. As for my current writing project, it seems to be proceeding much slower than expected at the moment, unfortunately. So it might be at least a week or two past the end of November before I can reach 50,000 words for the story, I think. Will keep you posted, of course. CD out.

No, CD, I don't have time to look at your website... I'm very busy with my IPA , North Island and South Island Leagues, but I do try to look at this dynasty report to stay in contact with you.

Just try to find some 1870s teams that have already been done and use them... sorry, don't have time to suggest teams for that era... never played the old days... 1950s is my era.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Fair enough, but just thought you might have some suggestions for cities I could use, and all, you see. And I thought you might like a number of things either in my art portfolio now or at any other time, for that matter. Even if they're not yet created, of course.

You know God is good, all the time, and He can bless us anytime He so chooses, with ideas and anything, right? Maybe He might just inspire me to produce something again that many might not have expected me to be able to produce, as well, come to think of it, like a beautiful picture of some sort, for example. While I may not be as good, quality-wise, with most of my artistic attempts in comparison to others around here, at least, I do know who definitely blesses people with certain talents if and whenever He so chooses. It's God, for sure, Eugene.

Thank you for your suggestion and all, and maybe I might just be able to do something here for certain teams, somehow, one way or another, et cetera. Here's hoping I can, Lord willing and all, of course. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

How many teams do you need for the 1876 season?

If I find you that number of teams, will you use them in the 1876 season?
