For this post, I am making the following assumptions: 1. The Postmodernists win the Taggart League Finals 2. Neither Doop nor thened ever show up again 3. The Old Hoss Radbourns win the vote in the other thread 4. I don't finally snap and destroy the entire Super-League in a fit of pique no matter how much Cthulhu pushes me. Okay? So, let's do this: Round 1 1. Idaho Potatoes - '?? Josh Gibson (C) Comments: The easy pick, and the right pick 2. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 3. Great Googly-Mooglies (from Antarctic Unspecifieds) - '39 Ted Williams (LF) Comments: Another easy pick. 4. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '01 Alex Rodriguez (SS) Comments: A-Rod can outhit Aparicio/Andrus/Campaneris combined. Of course, you do lose a bit of fielding, but, who 30 HRs is certainly worth it. 5. Comments: Upside too high not to give him a shot, especially since your top option is currently Brooks Robinson, who can't really hit. 6. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 7. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '75 Joe Morgan (2B) Comments: Was enraging me really worth it? 8. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 9. Second City Saints - '60 Whitey Ford (SP) Comments: Incidentally, Whitey Ford was famous for enjoying the nightlife, so he'll be an interesting addition to the Saints, I guess. 10. Antarctic Unspecifieds (from Great Googly Mooglies) - '51 Yogi Berra (C) Comments: Grumble! 11. Madison Mudholes - '95 Roger Clemens (SP) Comments: Clemens has always been solid in the Super-League. This is a good pick. 12. Ted Sox - '51 Willie Mays (CF) Comments: And the change in preferences leads to this. 13. St. Paul Bearers - '06 Mordecai Brown (SP) Comments: Luck beats all! 14. Portland Bulldogs - '35 Joe Medwick (RF) Comments: TKBomber gets another ex-Phantom for his team. 15. Ryleh Cultists (from Vice City Goose Eggs) - '78 Steve Carlton (SP) Comments: I'm going to loving kill your team. 16. Lombard Street Gumshoes - '85 Rickey Henderson (LF) Comments: Well, it'll shore up your outfield at least. 17. Rated R Superstars - '98 Ivan Rodriguez (C) Comments: If all you've got are Molinas, then I-Rod must look like a fantastic hitter. 18. Ryleh Cultists - '64 Ron Santo (3B) Comments: More Cubs for the Cultists. That's very unfortunate for you. 19. Polyarny Postmodernists - Some player from the Sonics 20. Barrow Daydreamers - '89 Kirby Puckett (CF) Comments: Screwed by the Goog! Sandwich Picks x1. Luna Landers - '39 Bobby Doerr (2B) Comments: Not sure if you wanted Doerr or Brett to play 3B. Then again, '89 Brett can't really play third, so, I'd go with Doerr. x2. Ryleh Cultists - '01 Ivan Rodriguez (C) Comments: I-Rod is fine, as long as you're okay with your catcher having single digit HR and BB totals. Round 2 21. Idaho Potatoes - '62 Willie McCovey (1B) Comments: Good value pick. 22. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 23. Antarctic Unspecifieds - '82 Robin Yount (SS) Comments: I hope Yount kills your team like every other team he's been on. 24. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '04 Carlos Beltran (CF) Comments: Even if Josh Hamilton were perfectly durable, you'd still want an upgrade in the outfield. 25. Comments: With the understanding that he goes to DH, and Stargell goes to left. 26. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 27. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '36 Chuck Klein (OF) Comments: Why do you hate me, Revenant Threshold? 28. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 29. South Bolton Eazy W's (from Second City Saints via Great Googly-Mooglies) - '99 Robb Nen (RP) Comments: The W's will apparently never die. I mean, if putting a 19 year-old girl in the bullpen didn't kill them, I don't know what will. 30. Great Googly Mooglies - '66 Brooks Robinson (3B) Comments: #@$@#$@#$@#$@! 31. Madison Mudholes - '49 Red Schoendienst (2B) Comments: Somehow, Schoendienst is a Hall of Famer. I guess the '40s were a down era for middle infielders. Better than Marty Marion, at least. 32. Ted Sox - '66 Jim Kaat (SP) Comments: Kaat is usually solid. 33. St. Paul Bearers - '04 Lance Berkman (OF) Comments: Of course, he's not much of a fielder by '04, but you wanted him. 34. Portland Bulldogs - VACATED 35. Vice City Goose Eggs - Some player from the Sonics 36. Lombard Street Gumshoes - '87 Eddie Murray (1B) Comments: Did you know that Eddie Murray is one of only four players with 500 home runs and 3000 hits? Sounds crazy, right, I mean Eddie Murray did that? Really? But it's true, Eddie Murray rang up some real numbers in the least exciting way possible. 37. Rated R Superstars - '54 Larry Doby (CF) Comments: Almost a real center fielder! 38. Ryleh Cultists - '64 Billy Willaims (LF) Comments: Ugh. Still ugh. 39. Polyarny Postmodernists - '97 Robb Nen (RP) Comments: Not a lot of players fit the MO of your team. 40. Fukuoka Finger-Bangers (from Barrow Daydreamers) - '82 Rollie Fingers (RP) Comments: Must be fate. Round 3 41. Idaho Potatoes - '68 Willie Horton (LF) Comments: I'm sure this would have been exciting if you were a Tigers fan. 42. Philadelphia Longshots - VACATED 43. Antarctic Unspecifieds - '89 George Brett (3B) Comments: Good enough! 44. Poughkeepsie Superbas - '68 Mickey Lolich (SP) Comments: Not exciting, but serviceable. 45. Comments: This is where Dr. Mike Marshall belongs, this is his home! 46. Hakata Runnin' Ramen - VACATED 47. Oxbridge Mathematicians - '82 Jack Clark (OF) Comments: Because no one else wanted him! 48. Norfolk Spinter Cells - VACATED 49. Second City Saints - '24 Red Faber (SP) Comments: This is about respect, Senerio! 50. Antarctic Unspecifieds (from Great Googly Mooglies) - '84 Lance Parrish (C) Comments: I'm pretty sure this is right. 51. Madison Mudholes - '46 Bob Lemon (SP) Comments: Beats Dick Groat and Tony Lazzeri! 52. Ted Sox - '66 Jim Palmer (SP) Comments: Super-young, but still Jim Palmer. 53. St. Paul Bearers - '39 Joe Cronin (SS) Comments: Can hit, not much fielding, though. 54. Portland Bulldogs - '37 Lefty Gomez (SP) Comments: drat TKBomber's perfidy! 55. Vice City Goose Eggs - '60 Nellie Fox (2B) Comments: Great defense, not so much with the stick. 56. Old Hoss Radbourns (from Lombard Street Gumshoes) - '95 Tim Wakefield (RP) Comments: Wakefield! 57. Rated R Superstars - '98 David Cone (SP) Comments: Power pitching, but kind of erratic. 58. Ryleh Cultists - '89 Jeff Montgomery (RP) Comments: Probably won't kill your team. 59. Polyarny Postmodernists - '43 Bill Dickey (C) Comments: Ray Schalk must be stopped! 60. Barrow Daydreamers - '06 Adam Dunn (LF) Comments: Dunn can never die!

Old Hoss Radbourns Well, okay, that's a problem, because the Mogul engine only supports 30 teams. gently caress. Okay, then, Plan B. Super-League VI: Sudden Death Overtime! We need to kill two teams. I guess I could run the last round of the Gauntlet, but I think I have a more exciting proposal. Six-Eight teams (depending on how many people volunteer) will battle it out in an 80-90 game mini-season. Bottom two get relegated immediately. The top six, however, will get to have their own little mini-dispersal draft of the defeated teams, with each team getting two players each. So, you win, and you get a couple of good players. You lose, and that's the end. High-risk, high-reward. So, who's up for the ultimate challenge?

Simple maths will reveal that this battle is likely to end the faction war as two of our teams will die. Indeed, one of the more probably scenarios is that only the cultists and the superstars survive. I'm pretty keen on a winning % challenge then!

Dropping out of this. Risk isn't worth one player.

Senerio posted:Dropping out of this. I'd like to implore the Commissar to change his mind as well; with my team still not quite what I expected it to be when I made the Williams trade, putting it all on the line for just one player, especially against this level of competition, doesn't seem worth it.

If the reward is returned to two players, un-drop me out. Also if I'm not allowed to drop out and the reward doesn't change then my team shall be renamed to the Green Bay C-O-N-spiracies. Park is Miller Park.

gently caress it. Someone else try and figure out which two teams deserve to die.

I'd rather go into it with only the possibility of one player than see it not happen. If the extra round of dispersal is too much, then it's too much, and that's fine.

Okay, I guess there is one other way to handle this. We go to 32 teams, in two separate save game files, one for each league. I guess that's doable if Cthulhu can get me a script for 16 teams.
