Sub-Par 16, Week 11: Minicaps: Tops and Bottoms.

Approaching the mid-season point (already!) and things are still unsettled. But we can check out how the best and worst of the divisions are doing. Some names are the same, some names have had a recent surge, and some were widely anticipated.


The Robo-Umps surging as of the last few weeks have been the big news in the Sub-Par. It helps that the schedule is directly aiming them at their biggest competition, but of course you still have to beat them. And, uh, so they have. In a unanimous decision announced from the bench, the Court has ruled "hells yeah, bitches" and remanded to the lower teams the case to be reviewed not inconsistent with this win.


The Dat Bois may finally die. The biggest thing was whether they would take anyone down with them. At least the Pilots will squash that.


The Sultana should be doing better, and the Pythag supports it. The problem seems to be that there's far too few people who can hit for average on the team, so while there's a decent amount of fire power on the bench it feels as though the hits come in to few in a row to take advantage of it.Snider hitting for .172 is not helping. Yikes! The Mets are happy to not be last.


What can stop the Doom, except itself and early season doldrums? Nothing else, apparently. Not the Breegulls who need their hitters to return to last season form to stand a chance of survival.


Conveniently this is a game of two heavyweights, with the Buzzsawseseses possessing the best record in the entire Sub-Par(!). The Thunderbuckets, finally, FINALLY have gotten a piece that is due them, but if this match up is any indication -- and it is not, to be honest -- then they should be happy to eke out the promotion because they ain't going nowhere in the post season.

Tabletposting (so can someone please update the sheet for me) to take Kevin Brown. Yeah, I know he’d still be there mid second round but I need him now.

Please demote Tewksbury and insert the new Brown at SP5.

Please name the Brown I used to have “Solid” and the new one “Liquid”.

SYLLABUS: Send down Ray Durham and bring up Kenny Lofton.

(ALITO stands at the ROBOUMP CONTROL CONSOLE)

: Ah, it works! I can countermand the sending down of players using the Harriet Miers account that was never deactivated! Everything is coming up Alito!

: Still, wouldn't be good to get caught before my victory is inevitable. Ray Durham should go to the minors and Kenny Lofton should take his spot on the bench.

: Everything is coming up Alito!

(ALITO pauses, and then quickly steps away from the CONTROL CONSOLE as JUSTICE GINSBURG enters the room)

: What are you doing here so early?!

Getting my swole on, dummy. What about you?

Smasher Dynamo
Oct 16, 2008

Eternal Commissioner of the Super League. A new avatar. A new age, of the same old embittered Smasher that failed to escape the bonds of the SL, FM3, Johnny Hopp and Eri Yoshida "The Knuckle Princess". "The flames of Smasher's ire scorch the skies... Igniting St. Bellhorn's funeral pyre."



Super-League XXVIII, Week 13: How Can I Possibly Have Another Half-Season Left?



: Hm. Oh no, the USB Key seems to be corrupted. I can't read all data off of it. But I know just the person who might be able to fix this. The Storage Maniac! Is what we like to call doctor Fiodor. Talk to him and I'm sure he'll be able to help us. Storage lab is on the floor above...no, wait...two floors above us!



: What's that? Alphonso sent you to fix a corrupted USB Key? SAY NO MORE. But first...I'd like you to help me with something. You are a Pokemon trainer, am I right?
: I'm thinking of giving it up and becoming a hermit.
: I'll let you in on a little secret. I've been trying to hack a certain Doctor Enzymo's PC, hehehe. He holds a dirty secret, and evidence of it in a digital form. But I haven't had enough time to hack his computer. All of his files are stored on an encrypted drive.
: So, you want my Pokemon to kick the poo poo out of him until he confesses?
: Today's a good day. Not many people. You'll just have to distract the guy next to me. Enzymo's PC is the black one in the corner.
: Is that guy next to you deaf?
: Battle the guy while I hack the secret files out of there.
: Work fast. My team doesn't get paid by the hour for these fights.



: One beating later.



: Psst, kid! Distract him more, I need one more minute!
: What did I just tell you? Does no one listen to me? Okay, fine.



: I mean, how bad could-



: ...I hate this place.



: Just give me the...what the gently caress was I looking for again?
: Since we didn't have much time, I grabbed a bunch of files from the encrypted drive. Hehe. If you come back later...maybe I'll share my findings with you.
: That's going to be a hard pass from me.
: Oh, right. That isn't what you care about. Give me that USB Key for a second. I see...I see. Easy peasy. What sort of fool plugged out the Key while they were writing files on it? There we go. It should work now like a charm.



: Literally? Is that dude still inside the USB key?
: Now all that's left is the S-Power Conduit. Talk to people on this floor. I'm positive someone will be able to help you.



: Don't drag Sagan into this!



: Don't drag Coldplay into this either.



: I know apologies are hard, but thank you.



: Oh no, this guy.
: No, no, no, no, you got the wrong persona, sonny!
: Well, fair enough.
: Take this and forget about me!
-Obtained S-Power Conduit-



: I'll be able to finish my experiment now! Thanks kid! I want you to take this as a reward.
-Obtained Up-Grade-
: Talk to Professor Almond for further instructions.



: ENOUGH!



: Smasher Vult.
: Ah! Perfect. Thank you for your assistance. Would you wait for us in the elevator, Smasher? Professor Diane and I will be up there shortly.





: Except professor Diane and the people working on this floor.
: I totally forgot what we're doing here.
: That's right, dear! Consider yourself special!



: OH NO!
: Professor Stine?
: Well, I suppose I might as well reveal my true identity now.



: of invincible innocuousness, hides Professor Stine myself, indeed!
: I'm glad to see you again, Professor Stine! But...what are you doing here? How did you get here even?
: Haha! I couldn't possibly miss out on an opportunity to see a mutant Pokemon up close, with my very own eye! My right eye! Because I see better with that one! Hope you don't me coming along with you, eh? How's about it, o professoresse, madmoiselle Dali?
: Oho? You two know each other?
: Hmph! Come if you wish, Januarius. We'll get you nice and close to R. Maybe you can be friends.
: My my my. She still hold a grudge.
: Don't cause too much trouble, professor Stine.
: Absolutely! I'll cause only a little!
: This way, Smasher.



: Wait. No, I don't! WHO IS PUTTING THESE THOUGHTS IN MY MIND! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!



: That man with the blue hair...I've seen him before. But not like this. It was...no. That's impossible. That wasn't real, that was just a dream. A horrible dream. Willie isn't real. He was never real.



: Oh, you're all here! This is doctor Geor Tulsa, one and only. Head of the ModLab, B6!
: It is great to meet everyone. It's been a while since I've seen so many different faces in B6. As you may have been told, this area is off-limits even to most employees in the Research Center.
: I am quite familiar with your off-limit areas, doctor Tulpa!
: It's Tulsa.
: We have those in Dooriver too! But I like it, y'know? Makes you feel insignificant.
: Now, now professor Stine.
: It's quite alright.
: Geor dead, this is Smasher. The trainer R called out to.
: Is that so? Smasher, it is good to meet you. I think it is good that you cam at this moment. With doctor Enzymo's idea, we might be able to de-evolve R sooner than we expected.
: Huh, in all of my terror about the matter of Willie, I forgot that scientist who threatened to murder me a million updates back is also standing around. Cosmic.
: Oh. Ah, yes. Hello.
: Enzymo...? (What's a Storage guy doing here?)
: How can I hear Diane's thoughts?
: Doctor Enzymo works in Storage, but I think his contributions...no, his way of thinking...it's extraordinary. It's a shame for a brilliant mind such as his to rot away in Storage. So I'm having him help us out with research. In any case. Doctor Enzymo noticed a certain pattern in R's DNA...a vulnerability, if we may phrase it so.
: You may not.
: If we attack this part of DNA with a specially crafted ionized wave, the whole structure will revert back into its base form, thus giving us an alternative way to de-evolve R.
: Geor, as I mentioned before, I would exercise caution with this idea. If instead attacking this 'vulnerability' triggers the energy unchaining...
: Diane, please, you have nothing to worry about. I am excited about this. This idea resonates with me! I am certain it will work.
: Alright. I will trust your judgment.
: So now that we're all here, there's no sense in waiting any longer. We shall conduct the de-evolutionary mechanism immediately.



: Yes, sir.
: Please, come to the glass as soon as you're ready.



: High Heads of Secret Underground Labs, I still want to see this. Viva la Sciencia!
: Come along, Smasher. I have a feeling this will be very interesting to see.
: I'm calling an emergency time out!


Games of the Week

MISANTHROPES WIN GRAND SLAM CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH 7-4 WIN OVER DECK CHAIRS

Los Angeles- It has become increasingly clear that when the Titantic Deck Chairs are laid down to their final rest, no one will know if they were any good or not.

Make no mistake, the Deck Chairs played well against the Misanthropes, all things considered. Facing the hottest team in the Dynamo League, and being on the road, but for the Elusive Closer's follies, the Deck Chairs could have won two of these three games, kept their titles, and even avoided falling into last place in their division.

Alas, they could not, as the Elusive Closer imploded in spectacular fashion today, walking the first two batters he saw in the bottom of the thirteenth inning, and then giving up a shattering three-run dinger to Albert Pujols to allow the Misanthropes to take the game, the series, and the titles.

"Even in these uncertain times, it's good to see that, sometimes, good can prevail over Pungry." CattMarp said after the game. "I don't really have a lot else to say, I'm not exactly the kind of guy who just brags about stuff over and over. I think my team did a good job, I have some titles. I guess HulkaMatt and I will probably win the tag titles when that happens."

"Did some one say character class?" A man in a giant d20 costume said as he walked onto the stage.

"No, no one said that." CattMarp said, confused. "Who are you and what do you want?"

"I'm glad you asked about character classes." The d20 man said, "I'm here as part of a public education campaign for promoting understanding character classes in D&D. With Super-League D&D starting, it's important that people know about character classes."

"With all due respect, Mr.-" CattMarp tried to cut the dice man off.

"I'm SL Dandy, the Super-League D&D Professor." SL Dandy said.

"Okay." CattMarp took a moment to process what was happened, "That being the case, I'm not sure if this is really the time or place."

"There's always time to," SL Dandy pulled out some dice and threw them into the air, "Roll up a character."

"Again," CattMarp stared in confusion, "While that may be true, I don't know if this is the best time or place for-"

"Say, CattMarp, do you know the difference between a Barbarian and a Fighter?" SL Dandy asked.

"No." CattMarp said.

"Well, you see, a Barbarian is a wild berzerker, who relies on his rages to charge right into the enemy and deal damage, while using his immensely high hit points to soak up damage, while a Fighter is a more well-rounded character. Now a Paladin is a holy warrior who, in addition to be a skilled close combantant, also has certain divine powers as well-"

"Okay, and again, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't think that people are-" CattMarp once again tried to cut SL Dandy off.

"Now a ranger is a sort of fighter who specializes in ranged combat and dual wielding." SL Dandy continued, unbowed, "Then we have spellcasters. A druid is a divine spellcaster that gains his power from nature, while a cleric gets his spellpower from a patron deity. A mage, as you can guess, casts spells by memorizing them from his spell book, and then expending them as he casts them, while a sorcerer has a smaller possible repertoire, but doesn't need to memorize spells."

"Okay, we're done here." CattMarp said, walking off the stage.

GAME NOTES

-If nothing else, CattMarp is evil for being able to successfully turn Adam Wainwright into a competent reliver. Evil, I tell you!

-The Elusive Closer, at this rate, will have a win-loss record of 2-16 by the end of the season.

HONKBALERS WIN TITLES, MOVE WITHIN ONE GAME OF DIVISION LEAD WITH 4-1 WIN

The Hague- It was perhaps the best series the Honkbalers have had all season.

With a 4-1 win, the Honkbalers took the Omni-Titles and stood on the brink of taking over the Mark Bellhorn division after 13 weeks of the 26 week season.

"There were many people out there who doubted me." mks5000 said after the game, "Many people who said that I could not win the division, could not possibly succeed, and that the unspecified glory will soon come to claim us all and that we must cast aside our false individualisms to become one with the infinite potential." mks5000 said, as white fluid began to drip from his eyes, "There is identity that is true, we are all one, and there is no one of us that stands apart."

"Did someone say 'character class'?" SL Dandy said, marching on stage.

"Who are you?" mks5000 said, regaining his senses.

"I'm SL Dandy, I'm here as part of the Super-League's educational campaign regarding Super-League D&D!" SL Dandy explained.

"Go away." mks5000 said, irritated.

"You want to know about some exotic classes for your character, you say?" SL Dandy said, ignoring mks5000 entirely.

"That is not what I said at all." mks5000 said.

"The Favored Soul is a special type of cleric that gains clerical powers without being devoted to a god, whereas a Shugenjas are...well, they're daoists, basically, and spirit shamans are-" SL Dandy continued.

"Enough!" mks5000 said. "Is it a rule that every initiative taken by the Super-League-"

"Did someone say 'initiative'?" SL Dandy asked.

mks5000 looked with disdain at the man in the d20 costume, "You are testing my last nerve. I am a serious man with serious plans."

"Let's roll initiative!" SL Dandy said, before tossing a d20 in the air.

"What?" mks5000 was baffled.

"Oh wow, a 14, looks like I move first!" SL Dandy said, "I draw a no-dachi!" SL Dandy pulled an almost-comically large sword out of seemingly nowhere. "Time to roll to hit!"

"What is even happening?" mks5000 asked.

SL Dandy threw a die into the air, and then bent down to see the result. "A critical chance?" He said, picking up the die again and throwing it, "It's confirmed!"

"What are you doing?" mks5000 backed away, realizing that, generally speaking, a madman with a large sword was not an ideal situation for anyone.

SL Dandy rolled again. "Oh boy, 24 damage! And you being just 2nd level, that has to be fatal!" SL Dandy pointed his sword to mks5000, the painted on smile on his costume matching his seeming joy. "Looks like you're going to have to roll a new character! See, you should have listened when I was talking about character classes!"

"Stay away from me." mks5000 said.

"The dice roll is binding." SL Dandy said, slowly advancing on mks5000, "If we don't play by the rules, everything dissolves into chaos. And I am a lawful good boy."

mks5000, seeing his own end, immediately fled, with SL Dandy in hot pursuit.







Is this the beginning of the Warriors' comeback? No idea.




There is not a single aspect of this game that I am happy about.

I can't believe I'm making two lineup changes in one season.

and also i forgot i set the injury rating to -80% so here's the only injury in the update
