 Rotation: SP1: George Bradley SP2: Ed Walsh SP3: Jim McCormick SP4: Robin Roberts Mop-up: Pete Alexander Keep the bullpen and line-ups the same. The Macho Men Challenge....I'm not sure how to answer this. I've said yes every single time the offer has come up, including with this team. And that's the root of the issue. This team has died by the hands of the Macho Men. The Masked Shortstop is marked. Regardless of the outcome of these playoffs, he will join them (as he rightly should). That's why it feels weird to be saying yes to the Macho Men Challenge for the final time. As for the series coming up, it really could not have been written any better way, at least for me. Any significant turning point in my SL history has had some connection to Beet, both minor and major. Since I've made the decision to focus on my studies and not try to create a new team from scratch, this could potentially be my last series as a SL owner as well. Regardless of the outcome, I have a lot to thank him for, and I wish him luck as he continues taking part in the Super League.

That's why it feels weird to be saying yes to the Macho Men Challenge for the final time. Actually, I've been wondering about this - if the Kernels do win the finals and then once again lose to the Macho Men, do the Macho Men get to claim a second player? Or does the challenge simply not take place, since the Macho Men Challenge takes place after the finals, and therefore is technically in the offseason, meaning that the Kernels' protection from death that the tag team titles gave them officially expires, as does the team?

Per the request of kensei, and as is his right as the winner of the EC, I have undertaken an unholy experiment in player creation, the consequences of which may destroy this league, and all who love it. Years ago, when the league began, the question was asked. C. Everett Koop, probably posted:
For over five years, and nineteen seasons, I have resisted the call to action on this matter, believing that, though I do at times tamper with the laws of man and nature, that there are some limits that even I should not break. But kensei has asked, and, with a great deal of effort, I will create what he has asked of me. I will create the AndROiD.

Okay, I'm simming the LCSes now, so if you haven't gotten your lineup changes in, it's too late. That said, remember, the finals require teams to have both DH and no-DH lineups.

  I'm too busy to write anything here. It already took way too long to set up all these rosters. So here's your post.   Team Statistics    Is this the final deletion of CaptainYesterday?    I knew there were going to be problems with your bullpen when Rheal Cormier didn't even load into the game for some reason. But I didn't expect this!    Things were going so great, but then you had a bit of a skid at the end. Why? Must have been when you drafted Darren Wilson.    I was wondering if Dusty was going to lose even 10 games in this round. And then you went out and beat them! That has to be a great sign. Pick 'em: The Gauntlet, Round 4 Pick TWO!

 Jenseits von Gut und Bose: W's and Panderers A Super-League Board Game Game Rules and Instructions Dear Leagueineers, Before you invite your fellow gamers over, we suggest that you read over these "Game Rules", and study the box score illustrations. This will not take long, the actual rules are quite short, and mostly ad hoc. Now you are ready for your first Manichaean battle of destiny in the Super-League! Have fun deciding the ultimate fate of good and evil in the league! -Smasher Dynamo Game Rules Game Components  The Eazy W's represent the forces of good in the Super-League, and are based around chaining together huge run production rolls, even though they usually will start out a given series a bit slow because of the field effects of the Pander Dome, which will cut down on their run production scores. They tend to rely on come-from-behind wins, and blowouts. The W's have the following tokens: -1 Cy Young -1 Pete Alexander -1 Wanderlei Bolton -2 Steve Carltons -1 Eri Yoshida -5 Relievers (Assorted) -1 Babe Ruth -1 Carlos Beltran -1 Al Simmons -1 Adam Dunn (there can only ever be one Adam Dunn) -1 Lou Whitaker -1 John Olerud -1 Scott Rolen -1 Cal Ripken -1 Ed Delahanty -1 St. Mark Bellhorn -2 Catchers (Assorted) -2 Bench Fodder  The Panderers represent villainy in its most villainous form. They are bad dudes. They rely more on card and field effects than on the quality of their players. To that end, they will always play more games in their stadium than in the Coliseum should the series go to a full seven games. They also have card effects that allow them to steal close games. The Panderers have the following tokens: -1 Clayton Kershaw -1 Cole Hamels -1 Jack Powell -1 Warren Spahn -2 SP/RP Swing Fodder -1 The Kimbrel -1 Padres Relievers Fun Pack -1 Eddie Collins -13 Generic Contact Hitters (Assorted) Constructing the Stadiums When constructing the parks to represent the Panderdome and the Coliseum, remember that each stadium has its own profile. The Panderdome should be excessively large and cavernous, a place that, in real life, would be a terrible place to watch a game of baseball, or even to exist in. Also remember that the turf in that stadium should not just be artificial, but aggressively artifical. A good rule of thumb would be to imagine a player sliding across the field wearing shorts. If they would not suffer horrible friction burns as the result of the slide, then the turf is not artificial enough. The Coliseum, on the other hand, should generally lack a right field almost entirely. If possible, put the foul pole marker just a few feet behind first base. In general, if a player needs to take more than ten steps between the infield and the right field wall, then you have assembled the Coliseum incorrectly. Also, keep in mind, the Coliseum is located in Bolton, a suburb of Manchester. (Note: Many people from England will claim that Bolton is not a suburb of Manchester. Like many places in England, they have found it hard to reconcile modern urban sprawls with the towns and villages of centuries past. They can be safely ignored.) Make sure to model that the fanbase is dangerous and has access to both knives and fish and chips, which, from a heart health perspective, is far more dangerous than a knife. Setting up the Game You and your opponent must decide who will be the Panderers, and who will be the W's. Remember, the Panderers' player must be relentlessly committed to destroying the hopes and dreams of all who oppose him for fleeting personal rewards. If at all possible, please have your soul extracted before playing as the Panderers, in order to be a better, more accurate representative of the Panderers' tradition. After choosing who will play each side, take nine position player tokens, and arrange them into a lineup. Then, take four starting position player tokens, and arrange them into a rotation. Take the remaining pitcher tokens, and put them into the bullpen pool. Take the remaining position player tokens, and put them in the bench pool. Advanced Player Note If you are using the optional platoon rule, you may make a second lineup to face left-handed pitchers. In that case, any position player tokens not in your lineup in a given game as a result of the platoon rule will be in your bench pool. The W's player will then draw five "Magic of the W's" cards, which he may keep and play at the appropriate time. The Panderers player will draw two "Pander's Game Hacks" cards. Each player keeps these cards hidden from the other player until they are played. Starting a series A series is composed of four or more games. Before each game, determine where the game will be played, whether it will be at the Pander Dome or in the Coliseum, each of which provide different field effects. Games 1, 2, 6, 7 - Pander Dome Games 3, 4, 5 - Coliseum Turn Overview The Panderers start at home. On your turn, you can do the following in the order listed: -You must roll for run production (the result applies to both players) -You may roll for run prevention -You may play a card (Magic of the W's/Pander's Game Hacks) -You may use a token in the bullpen or bench pools, but each token can only be used once a game. The Turn in Detail 1. Run Production You begin your turn by moving the next token in your lineup to the "at-bat" hex. Each token has a certain type of dice to use its contact, power and patience rolls. These types can vary from a d4 to a d20, and are listed on associated card for that token. Roll each of these dice, and add the values together. This sum represents the runs produced by that player. For carry-over production, check the accompanying table: Table 1-1 Carry Over Runs Sum is... 0-10 - No carryover bonus, add 1 out 11-20 - +5 Bonus to next batter's rolls 21-30 - +10 Bonus to next batter's rolls 31-40 - +15 Bonus to next batter's rolls 41+ - Add an additional +5 Bonus for each additional ten runs production points Continue going down the lineup and rolling until you have amassed three outs. 2. Run Prevention Roll the run prevention dice listed on the card associated with the token of the pitcher currently on the pitcher's mound space, making sure to use the adjustments both for fatigue points, as well as any other modifications that need be made based on the handedness bonuses or penalties both for the pitcher and hitter. Add fielding modifiers from each position player in the lineup except the DH. These values are listed on the player cards. Compare the run prevention roll with the run production roll, and then consult the following table. Table 2-1 Run Production/Prevention Table Run Production - Run Prevention sum is Less than Zero - No runs score, pitcher does not gain a fatigue point 0-10 - No runs score, pitcher gains one fatigue point 11-20 - No runs score, pitcher gains two fatigue points 21-30 - 1 runs score, pitcher gains two fatigue points 31-40 - 2 runs score, pitcher gains three fatigue points 41-50 - 3 runs score, pitcher gains three fatigue points 51-60 - 4 runs score, pitcher gains four fatigue points 61-70 - 5 runs score, pitcher gains four fatigue points 71+ - Add an additional run for each additional ten points in difference, add an additional fatigue point for each additional twenty points in difference, pitcher must take a meltdown check Table 2-2 Meltdown Check Table Roll a 4d20, and add the pitcher's resilience bonus/malus to each die against a check of 15. 4 successes - Pitcher takes no additional fatigue points 3 successes - Pitcher takes 5 additional fatigue points 2 successes - Pitcher takes 10 additional fatigue points 1 success - Pitcher takes 15 additional fatigue points 0 successes - Go to Crisis Point table Table 2-3 Crisis Point Check Table Make a d20 roll against an unmodified check of 15. Sucess - Pitcher must be removed from game, game continues Failure - Game immediately ends Advanced Player Note You may choose to play with in-inning bullpen moves. If so, use the following rules. At any time, prior to, or during, the run production phase, the defending player may announce that he has a pitcher in the bullpen. After one token has made its run production roll, the defending player may put in a token from the bullpen to the pitcher's mound. Make a note of when this occurs. During the run prevention phase, the defending player may add one-half of the run prevention roll of the reliever token to the run prevention roll of the pitcher that started the inning. The second bullpen token used would add one-quarter of its run prevention roll, and so on. 3. Play a Card Cards can be played before games, and also during games. If played during games, they must be played after run prevention, but before substutions are made. 4. Substitutions In this phase, a player may move a token from his bullpen to the pitcher's spot, or a token from the bench pool into the lineup. Any pitcher or position player moved out of the lineup or pitcher's spot in this manner are removed from the game. Advanced Player Note A player is technically allowed to move a pitcher to a lineup spot, putting the position player in the pitcher's spot, and then bringing in a pitcher from the bullpen pool to replace the position player in the pitcher's spot, and then, after one run production roll has been made, move the pitcher in the position player spot back to the pitcher's spot. But, come on, man, don't do that, it's not really all that helpful. Ending the Series The Series ends when a team has won four games. As a result, the maximum number of games in a series is seven. Sample Game Two friends decide that they're going to play themselves a series. ForeverB chooses to play the W's, while Panda plays the evil Panderers. They both set up their stadiums, lineups, and rotations, and are ready to play. Each draws some cards from their decks, and are ready to start! Game 1: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Portland Panderers (Series Tied 0-0) Before the first game begins, Panda decides to play the Sinister Power card, giving his team a buff to run prevention rolls for the first two games of the series, as both will be started by left-handed pitchers. He also plays the Ancestral Recall card, allowing him to draw three more cards. One of those cards is another Ancestral Recall card, allowing him to draw three more cards. As the result of the bonus, ForeverB just can't get much in the way of positive run production scores. Fortunately for him, Panda doesn't have much better luck. You'll find that, in most games, the Panderers' player has a lot more success keeping the number of runs down than he does of actually scoring runs himself, as that was a game design decision. Notice how, in this game, despite getting 24 Ks, the Panderers still struggled to win. With the game deadlocked, and having a card advantage, Panda decides to play the Marginal Victories card in the 14th inning, causing the game to end immediately with a Panderers victory.  Game 2: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Portland Panderers (PAN Leads 1-0) Frustrated with the previous game, ForeverB plays the Knuckle Princess card before Game Two, ensuring that Yoshida won't give up any more runs. That does cancel out the Panderers' good run production roll in the eighth inning, but because of the continued effect of the Sinister Power card from Game One, the W's fail on all but one of their own Run Production rolls, meaning that, in the ninth, the Panderers have a 3-1 lead. Panda, sensing an opportunity, plays Comes the Kimbrel, forcing the game to immediately end. Because he had the lead at the time, that means that he won. Note that, because of the rules being what they are, the only way for a W's player to win after Comes the Kimnrel card is played is through a fast-effect run-producing card that allows for runs to be scored outside of the normal turn sequence. No such card exists in the basic edition of the game, but future expansions may change that. Panda, having won the first two games, is feeling pretty confident, even though the Sinister Power card has now worn off, as well as ForeverB still have four more cards in his hand.  Game 3: Portland Panderers @ South Bolton Eazy W's (PAN Leads 2-0) Facing a 2-0 game deficit, ForeverB takes advantage of Panda having slotted Jack Powell third in his rotation. That means that Powell is scheduled to pitch at the Coliseum, which means that it's true that the Panderers have a right-handed pitcher in their pitcher slot, and are in the Coliseum, allowing him to play Day of the Dunn. Day of the Dunn is one of the most powerful effects in the game, but can only be played under very specific circumstances, which normally allow the Panderers' players to avoid it. In this case, however, Panda managed to walk right into a trap. The resulting bonus to run production rolls allows ForeverB to easily win the game, and dash any hopes that Panda may have had of an early sweep. Note that, because ForeverB was starting Wanderlei Bolton, he could have used the Axe Murderbot card, if he had it in his hand at the time. Of course, with the Day of the Dunn card in play, turning the game into a coinflip would not have made a lot of sense. It's always helpful to consider how card effects interact with each other. Sometimes, they will be synergestic. Other times, like Day of the Dunn and the Axe Murderbot, they could essentially cancel each other out.  Game 4: Portland Panderers @ South Bolton Eazy W's (PAN Leads 2-1) With both sides settling into a potentially long series, both decide to conserve cards, and neither play any in this game. With the field effect of the Coliseum, the W's get a big boost to their run production numbers, and are able to easily break the Panderers apart in this game. No doubt that Panda wishes he had a card that could eliminate those bonuses. Unfortunately, no such card exists, as the field effects, at least as of the basic edition, cannot be modified. That said, Panda still has hope. Remember that the Panderers' player always starts with home-field advantage. That means that he can always count on being able to finish the series in the Pander Dome assuming that he wins his first two games. Given that most of the Pander's Game Hacks cards are designed to further boost his advantages at home, and that the Panderers' player has a full hand of cards to begin the series, he's very likely to do just that. The W's player, on the other hand, typically has to weather an early storm from the Panderers' player before regaining his footing in the Coliseum. Looking at the Magic of the W's deck, it's clear that the W's player is geared to improbable, come from behind victories, and tends to gain strength because of card effects as the series goes on. Of course, just because that tends to be the general arc of series played under this system, that does not mean that every series you play will fit into that pattern. After all, if a Pander player doesn't get an Ancestral Recall card, he might run out of cards early, and lose one or both of the first two games, which the Panderers' would find it hard to recover from. The W's, on the other hand, might not get the cards they need to start a comeback, and might get swept if the Panderers can hold down their run production rolls, and win close games with Marginal Victories and Comes the Kimbrel cards. No two series will ever be the same.  Game 5: Portland Panderers @ South Bolton Eazy W's (Series Tied 2-2) Feeling the series getting away from him, Panda decides to play another Sinister Power to try and get the W's run production back down to levels low enough that he can stay competitive. That does the trick, as the W's run production crashes from what it had been in the previous two games. Late in the game, though, Panda gets unlucky. The W's have a 4-3 lead in the eighth. If Panda had a Marginal Victories card in his hand, he could instantly win the game, as that card allows the Panderers' player to win the game as long as the teams are within two runs of each other, regardless of which team is actually ahead. In this case, even though the W's have produced more runs, the Panderers would still win if Panda had played Marginal Victories. Unfortunately, Panda doesn't have that card in his hand at the moment, having only a Comes the Kimbrel card, which only works if the Panderers are leading. Irritated, Panda lashes out, using mentholmoose's Bane to remove Scott Rolen from the W's lineup. Rolen had been bugging him all series long. Unfortunately, that impulsive move will cost him, as ForeverB immediately plays Sound the Bellhorn in response, moving St. Bellhorn into the lineup, and giving the W's a bonus to run prevention and run production rolls. With those bonuses in effect, the Panderers don't have much chance of coming back at all, and lose the game.  Game 6: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Portland Panderers (SLA Leads 3-2) At match point, ForeverB plays The Eternal Team, which gives his team a further bonus to its rolls. Panda is now in real trouble. His only saving grace is that, between the field effects of the Pander Dome, as well as the effects of Sinister Power, still in effect from the previous game, the W's, even with their bonuses aren't going to be able to score many runs themsevles. The problem is that, with all of the bonuses that are in effect for the W's, the Panderers' aren't going to be able to beat many run production tests themselves. In the end, the Panderers' last real chance of scoring runs manages to run itself right into the effects of the Knuckle Princess played before Game Two, nullifying any runs they could have scored in the eighth inning. The W's then finish out the game, which wins them the series. The series over, the players shake hands, each admitting that the outcome was decided more due to the poor design choices of the Super-League rather than the skill of the players involved.  Appendix: Cards Magic of the W's Cards Sound the Bellhorn! This card may only be played if one of your starting infielders has been removed due to injury. Move St. Bellhorn into your starting lineup. Add a +2 Bonus to all run prevention/run production rolls. The darkness grows in the West, the great villain of our age lurks, ready to consume us all. Mayhap he shall succeed, but if he does so, it certainly shall not before I have spent the last of mine lifeblood in defiance. -St. Mark Bellhorn Day of the Dunn This card may only be played if the Panderers have chosen to start a right-handed pitcher in the Coliseum. Add a +10,000 bonus to the power die when rolling for run production. My dingers come, my will be Dunn. -Adam Dunn Knuckle-Princess This card may only be used once per game. Remove the Yoshida token from the bullpen pool for the rest of the game. All runs produced by the Panderers this turn are nullified. Return this card to your hand for the next game. I'm probably pretty sure that I know what I'm doing this time. Probably. But I have a good feeling about it! -Eri Yoshida Black Jack Attack This card may only be used if Jack McDowell is in your rotation. The W's cannot lose the current game. What can I say, I got guile and a great forkball, what else could a man ask for? -Jack McDowell Impossible Dream This card may only be played if the W's are losing the series. Add a +5 bonus to all rolls until the W's are no longer losing the series. Why not us? I mean, why not us again, I suppose. -ForeverBWFC The Axe-Murderbot This card may only be used if Wanderlei Bolton is in the rotation Flip a coin, and having the Panderers' player call it in the air. If he wins, the Panderers win the game. If he loses, the W's win the game. SYSTEM ERROR! -Wanderlei Bolton The Cylexander Connection This card may only be used if Cy Young and Pete Alexander are in your rotation. Add a +2 bonus to run prevention rolls. It worked for the Macho Men, didn't it? -ForeverBWFC The Eternal Team This card may only be played if the W's are facing match point. Add a +1 bonus to all rolls. If the Panderers' player wins the match point regardless, begin a new series, disregarding the outcome of the previous series. This one really counts. I've learned a lot in my time in the Super-League. Not from the Super-League so much, mind you, it's more that it's been going on so long that I've had a chance to experience quite a bit of life. Gained perspective and all that. I recommend it to everyone. -ForeverBWFC Pander's Game Hacks Change of Plans Move one player from the bullpen pool to the rotation OR move one player from the bench pool to the lineup. On further consideration, while my initial strategy was sound, certain externalities, foisted on me by Smasher, most likely, require me to make a slight alteration for the plan. Rest assured, victory will still be mine. -Pander Legion of the Unknown If a player gets injured, you may sacrifice a token from the bullpen or bench pool, as appropriate, to keep him in the lineup or rotation. Most owners operate their teams like antique clockwork devices, with dozens of interlocking parts and gears that all need to work together to produce the right result. Of course, if just one cog fails, the entire device breaks down. I, of course, choose to use a dozen cogs of the same type, and have plenty of spares, just in case. In reality, interchangeable parts were a development of the 19th century. In Super-League time, I'm sure that some of you will figure it out by, I don't know, Super-League XL. Comes the Kimbrel This card may only be played in the Kimbrel is in your bullpen pool, and the Panderers are leading the game by three runs or less in the eighth inning or later. The game ends immediately. Yes, let's all just punt on our bullpens, and then wonder why we seem to lose so many close games. What a fine idea! And you all wonder why it is that I outperform my Pythag every season. -Pander Marginal Victories This card may only be played if one team has a lead of two or fewer runs in the eighth inning or later. The game ends immediately, with a Panderers victory. If I win by one run, or a hundred, I still win. -Pander Ancestral Recall Draw three cares from the Pander's Game Hacks deck. Hey, it's not on the Restricted List in this game! -Pander Sinister Power If the Panderers start a left-handed pitcher, add a +3 bonus to run prevention. This effect lasts for two games. Just because you have all failed to get something out of Clayton Kershaw doesn't mean I can't. He is a great pitcher of his age. Of course, what I'd really like is a Chris Sale to call my own... -Pander mentholmoose's Bane Remove a token from the W's player's lineup. Your team is a bit on the fragile side, isn't it? -Pander
