I say budget, but you could always equalize the budgets and give us all $X million dollars in TV contracts, set it to a 99 year contract, and turn off revenue from games/other things. That way we are all COMMUNIST equals. EDIT: You could also tell the game to redo salaries, so that superstars get x amount, elite players get slightly less, average less, etc etc. This would involve some effort but add some nice strategy to the game.

No budgets. I think it's enough effort without adding that.

OK I'm going to say No Budgets, and it looks like keeping the Feel free to discuss length of sim or injuries. Currently we are drafting for a ONE YEAR sim and pre-existing injuries are on, but anything less than six weeks I am wiping clean. New injuries will be turned OFF. If we turn injuries on or go longer than one year you may want to think about drafting more than 25 rounds so you have depth!

I think we can all agree that, if we owned teams, we'd be in favor of sacrificing some of our absurd profits in order to win more games.

Because the NFL draft was holding everyone's attention tonight (I assume) I'm going to wait until tomorrow night to kick us off so more people can have input on sim length and injuries. The clock will start on Saturday morning. Meanwhile, I've edited in the manager settings you can mess with.

Is stadium choice still up for discussion? Custom stadiums would be a little ridiculous but choosing historical dimensions from actual stadiums would be fun.

I like that, to a point. We should have some limits on dimensions at the very least, because 252 feet to the left field fence like the LA Coliseum seems like bullshit. I would totally support the Polo grounds though

So the OP says each round of the draft will vary in time. Do we know how long we'll have for the first few rounds? Family is in town and I have a wedding to go to tomorrow.

I'm thinking I'll start it at four hours. Keep in mind that there is a ten hour period every night where the clock is frozen.

I'd be down with being able to pick custom stadiums. Also...those strategy sliders. Given that we cannot set our own for you, isn't that going to make you want to murder someone trying to set all of them for 30 teams?

I don't expect people to get very detailed with them, but it also doesn't take that much time to do them.

The Pirates request the following strategic settings: Sliders to be placed exactly one tick from the the leftmost side: Use Hit & Run Use Run & Hit All 3 Bunts Intentional Walk Hook Starting Pitcher Sliders to be placed at 75% Stealing Bases/Baserunning Use Infield Shift Favor L/R Matchup All of our pitchers would have a 110 pitch limit in a given game, though that may become cumbersome for you and be fine to leave out.

Alright, nobody seems to have an opinion one way or another, so I'm going to do a one year sim. Injuries will be off, but existing injuries will be left on. Any injuries that are 6 weeks or lesser will be reset to zero. I'll post the draft order and picks thread during intermission of the Wild game. e: actually since it's just one year I think I'll just reset all injuries unless there's enough people that disagree with that IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 04:34 on May 10, 2014 |

It may sound like IcePhoenix is being a sperglord but it really helps things if the draft thread is clean so people don't get picks lost in the shuffle of comments.

With the #1 pick, the Colorado Rockies select Mike The Millville Meteor Trout, CF. With the most obvious pick of the draft out of the way, the Pittsburgh Pirates are on the clock!

I haven't done anything like this before so I'm a bit confused. Is the goal to get everyone in order within 4 hours to make a pick? Or 1 person make a pick within a 4 hour period? Like what happens if the Pirates don't make a pick by 2 PM does it just move on to the next person for 4 hours?

Like what happens if the Pirates don't make a pick by 2 PM does it just move on to the next person for 4 hours? The second one. A team has four hours to make their pick, but if they don't use all the time it won't carry over to the next team, their four hour clock srarts as soon as the previous pick is made. And since I'm home for the rest of the day the Pirates will be autodrafted if they miss their pick. Otherwise, a team is just skipped until I can autodraft them, and they are allowed to pick up until that point.

Sexual Lorax you're first alternate, just post confirming you're ready to take over the Tigers.
