Player piano mode for OOTPB 21

[Déjà Bru]

In two days, this forum will start looking like those old player piano rolls with one exception: IIRC, the perforated paper roll in a player piano would scroll upward as it played music. The threads in this forum will scroll in the opposite direction, so quickly that it will be difficult to "get a word in edgewise" (just like at home), much less read and digest it all.

I usually go into mute and contemplative mode at these times, for at least a couple of weeks, until the dust settles. It is an amazing phenomenon to witness, even if it is a bit difficult to participate in it.

Switching to another simile, it's like running with the bulls in Pamplona. Stop to try and say something, reason with a maddened bull, and get run over for your troubles! What you just said, slipping off the bottom of the forum board with a few screen refreshes!

It will be a wonderful time, but I prefer to be one of these people up here, observing from a safe vantage point:



You may prefer the action in the street. Good luck. Either way, have fun!

I remember back in the early versions of OOTP, we used to stay up all night long on "OOTP Eve", having a party on the forums just talking about baseball and OOTP.

Constantly checking the clock, urging Markus to hurry up and release the game....

Back when it was only released "when it was ready" or something like that, not even 100% sure it would be that day but we heard rumors it would be.

Before that, back with ver 2, 3 & 4. The "when it's tested and found to be ready" came later.

But always thereafter came the avalanche of threads and posts!

Indeed - Tuesday morning I shall lock my doors and place a sign upon them

"The World is closed, and so am I, try again in a month or so"

Us retired folks can do that

With the new additions to scouting and drafting, and the ball-park kit, you may see much more than last year.

Not sure, but did someone mention that the Ball-park kit may get its own sub-folder or something?

Currently has it's own thread - https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=311317

Likely will be something in the Mods Forum for Ballparks.

I'm just going to have fun refreshing the bug forum and see what everyone reports - half of which won't even be bugs, anyway

Yeah, but it's hard to keep up with all this!
