I'll admit I'm still not fully comfortable with the fairness of it, but since there's like five of you telling me to do it I guess I'll take the team back.

Hey Pander and JRLeap, the Owlbears are back too, then. I can't support an odd number of teams. The Super Draft is still viable, btw--we can just treat the Rogues as having died in the gauntlet and add them into the pool.

So trading King Brady and Duke Snider made me wonder if you could fill a roster for the challenge only with guys named like noble titles: King/Rey/Rex, Earl, Duke, Prince, C(a)esar, Kaiser Wilhelm, a "von", a Count Funnyname and Silver King and Bris Lord (thanks McFreeze) as well as a Lady for the sake of more funny names. I realize this bending over the rules and stretching them like I'm Kirk Johnson, but here, give it a chance and take a look: Lineup DH Earl Averill RF King Kelly C Earl Battey CF Duke Snider 1B Prince Fielder LF Bris Lord 2B Duke "Obi-Wan kenwobi01" Kenworthy SS Rey Sanchez 3B Duke Farrell Rotation SP1 Silver King SP2 Lady Baldwin SP3 Earl Moore SP4 Earl Wilson SP5 "Nat" King Cole Bullpen LR Earl Hamilton MR King Lear SR Dave von Ohlen SR Earl Johnson SU Cesar Ramos CL Rex Brothers Bench Earl Williams Rex Hudler Earl Webb Kaiser Wilhelm Count Sensenderfer CSV pre:batteea01,1963,,,,Earl,Battey fieldpr01,2011,,,,Prince,Fielder kenwobi01,1915,,,,Duke,Kenworthy sanchre01,2001,,,,Rey,Sanchez farredu01,1899,,,,Duke,Farrell lordbr01,1911,,,,Bris,Lord snidedu01,1954,,,,Duke,Snider kellyki01,1886,,,,King,Kelly averiea01,1936,,,,Earl,Averill kingsi01,1890,,,,Silver,King baldwla01,1886,,,,Lady,Baldwin mooreea01,1903,,,,Earl,Moore wilsoea01,1966,,,,Earl,Wilson wilheka01,1908,,,,Kaiser,Wilhelm hamilea01,1921,,,,Earl,Hamilton learki01,1915,,,,King,Lear vonohda01,1985,,,,Dave,Von Ohlen johnsea01,1947,,,,Earl,Johnson ramosce01,2015,,,,Cesar,Ramos brothre01,2013,,,,Rex,Brothers williea02,1973,,,,Earl,Williams hudlere01,1990,,,,Rex,Hudler webbea01,1931,,,,Earl,Webb coleki01,1911,,,,King,Cole senseco01,1872,,,,Count,Sensenderfer "Naturally, their name is", I answer, "The Aristocrats." frankenfreak fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Jan 7, 2018 |

After tadashi has been skipped due to time, The Prague Plague Doctors select 1960 Ernie Banks. The Forgettables and Gabriel Pope/Straight White Shark are on the clock. Grinnblade and Tadashi can still pick whenever. CVE fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Jan 7, 2018 |

Important opportunity for public comment! Obviously, even with the reduced amount of writing I'm doing (which I am very not happy about), the Super-League is still a strain, and I fear that I'm slowly driving FairGame mad by making him run the Sub-Par League. (Note: I may actually be driving him mad very quickly, one's descent into madness tends to be hard to measure objectively). To that end, I have a proposal. 1. We fix the update schedule, with me updating three times a week, and FairGame updating three times a week. 2. On the other day of the week (I'd say probably a Wednesday), we'll run the Super-Cup. The Super-Cup will be essentially similar to the sort of weird non-league competitions they have in European soccer leagues, sort of like the FA Cup. The teams in the Sub-Par, Super, EC, and those teams that have been Machoed will be eligible to compete. For structure, I was thinking: -20 teams in the Sub-Par in four pools competing for four spots in the knockout rounds -24 teams in the Super-League in six pools competing for six spots in the knockout rounds -The 14 Machoed teams in three pools competing for five spots in the knockout rounds -However many EC teams competing in a special one-off update for one spot in the knockout rounds. That's 16 teams, and it would be knockout series from there on, which adds up to about 10 or 11 updates. Thoughts?

Also, mentholmoose suggested that each owner would get an entry, and they could use either their current team, or any previous team they used in the past (that wasn't later Machoed). Thoughts on that?

This is going to result in your needing to make updates of some stripe on back to back days. Are you ok with that? Also I'm gonna bring back Modern Love! E: when you say the prize is life, does that mean an owner can get one of his old teams resurrected? ...becausw I wonder what the Cultists could doing not.for the lottery.

It would be much work, and people could share the load as well. It would only be ten updates. The prize is that your team can't die that season, just like in the Tag Team Tournament.

My personal vote would be to just take a day off and don't put anything in its place. I'm pretty sure that we are all adults and can handle not having an update on fake fantasy historical fantasy baseballl once a week. And frankly, the whole thing sounds overly confusing and a pain in the rear end to deal with effort wise.

Also work stuff has suddenly intruded quite a bit and will probably do so for most of the next couple of weeks. I'll still get the TEAM NAME CHALLENGE (which is going to include the Royals with Kaiser Wilhelm and King Lear) up, but don't expect it anytime super near future.

TMMadman posted:My personal vote would be to just take a day off and don't put anything in its place. I feel like either no one is listening or I'm not making myself clear. The point of the Super-Cup is me getting someone else to run it, and if I do that, then, in fact, I am saving myself some work, while at the same time improving the thread by adding a new competition and giving teams another chance to win things. If I can't get someone else to run it, then it won't happen, since I can't do it myself. But if I can outsource it, then it's less work for me, gives me (and FairGame) more time to work on the updates we still have, and is good for everyone.
