In the early days of the Super League, Smasher Dynamo was visited by a man who claimed to be from outer space. A planet of rock and roll, to be specific, where disputes were settled by awesome jams and only the grooviest could thrive. Smasher knew immediately that this "spaceman" was just the sort of lunatic that would make for a perfect Super League owner. The Goog accepted the invitation graciously, and built a team that, for being put together by a psychopath who insisted that he subsisted on nothing but the power of rock, was actually quite good. His Great Googly Mooglies were among the very best teams in the Super League, but they were bested by the Framingham Fillies, and missed the playoffs. This was before the days of the Gauntlet, or of guaranteed advancement; by missing the Super League playoffs, the Mooglies were cast out of the Super League. The Goog returned for Super League III, insisting that he had found a way to make his Mooglies even Greater; this version, however, was a pale imitation of the original Great Googly Mooglies, and they were relegated in their inaugural season. The Goog's second attempt at reclaiming glory came in the form of the London Calling; though they boasted an impressive offensive assault, the Calling were relegated as well. With the relegation of the Calling, and the humiliation that befell the Greater Googly Mooglies, The Goog took a long sabbatical from the Super League. Some say that he returned to his home planet, Googopolis; others say that he just picked up an extra shift at the record store. Regardless, he was not seen for many months. Many thought he was gone forever, but their fears--or perhaps their hopes--were not realized. The Goog returned, appearing before Smasher Dynamo just as he had at the very beginning, insisting that the Great Googly Mooglies would return for the newest season of the Super League! There's just one small problem: I can't remember the actual makeup of the roster for the life of me, and Google is being less than helpful in finding it. Hopefully Smasher has it on file...somewhere. In the meantime, read EVEN MORE about the Mooglies right here!

This post serves as a public record of the enacted bylaws of the Rated R Superstars. TRADING BYLAW #1: Trading Approval Thresholds PASSED AUGUST 7, 2012 WITH APPROVAL FROM THE GOOG, SENERIO, CTHULHU DREAMS AND PUNGRY Any owner may propose a trade of the Superstars’ assets to any other team(s). These trades require a majority vote of the Superstars' ownership to be approved. If one of the Superstars’ owners is also the owner or part-owner of another team involved in the trade, that owner may not vote on the trade; approval of this trade would then require a majority of all non-conflicted ownership holders. If there is a tie among the non-conflicted owners, the trade would not be approved. Revisions to this rule, including elimination of this rule, must be supported with just cause and be approved by 80% of the Superstars' ownership. OWNERSHIP BYLAW #1: Distribution of Shares PASSED AUGUST 7, 2012 WITH APPROVAL FROM THE GOOG, SENERIO, CTHULHU DREAMS AND PUNGRY Ownership of the Superstars will be divided into 100 shares, with each share representing an equal stake in the ownership of the team. Each of the five initial owners (TKBomber7285, Pungry, Cthulhu Dreams, The Goog, Senerio) is issued 20 shares. Owners may trade, sell, auction, donate, surrender, and in any other way divest themselves of their shares in any way they see fit. Shares may not be destroyed except in the methods specified by this bylaw, or by order of the commissioner of the Super League. Creation of new shares must be approved by 100% of the Superstars’ ownership, except as laid out in Ownership Bylaw #2. Allocation of unowned shares must be approved by 80% of the Superstars’ ownership. If any share of the team is unowned for more than one calendar week, the share(s) will be destroyed. Revisions to this rule, including elimination of this rule, must be supported with just cause and be approved by 80% of the Superstars’ ownership. OWNERSHIP BYLAW #2: The 49% Rule PASSED AUGUST 13, 2012 WITH APPROVAL FROM THE GOOG, SENERIO, CTHULHU DREAMS, PUNGRY AND TKBOMBER7285 No person, team, organization or other entity (“person”) may, directly or indirectly, control more than 49% of the ownership shares of the Rated R Superstars. If a person comes into control of more than 49% of the Superstars' ownership, new shares will be automatically created and allocated to the other Superstars owners, in proportion to their possession of ownership shares, so that the person who had acquired more than 49% ownership sees their ownership share reduced to 49%. Revisions to this rule, including elimination of this rule, must be supported with just cause and be approved by 80% of the Superstars' ownership. Ownership Bylaw #1 is hereby amended. The first sentence of the second paragraph now reads “Creation of new shares must be approved by 100% of the Superstars’ ownership, except as laid out in Ownership Bylaw #2.” BROOKLYN BRUISER BYLAW: The Idiot Rule PASSED AUGUST 7, 2012 WITH APPROVAL FROM THE GOOG, CTHULHU DREAMS AND PUNGRY The Superstars will not, under any circumstances, challenge the New York Macho Men without approval by 100% of the Superstars’ ownership.

Rated R Superstars The Rated R Superstars have passed a trading bylaw, governing how their owners will propose and approve trades. The bylaw reads as follows: quote:Any owner may propose a trade of the Superstars’ assets to any other team(s). These trades require a majority vote of the Superstars' ownership to be approved. If one of the Superstars’ owners is also the owner or part-owner of another team involved in the trade, that owner may not vote on the trade; approval of this trade would then require a majority of all non-conflicted ownership holders. If there is a tie among the non-conflicted owners, the trade would not be approved. This bylaw was passed with approval by The Goog, Senerio, Cthulhu Dreams and Pungry. Also, the Superstars passed a bylaw regarding the division of ownership shares: quote:Ownership of the Superstars will be divided into 100 shares, with each share representing an equal stake in the ownership of the team. Each of the five initial owners (TKBomber7285, Pungry, Cthulhu Dreams, The Goog, Senerio) is issued 20 shares. Owners may trade, sell, auction, donate, surrender, and in any other way divest themselves of their shares in any way they see fit. Shares may not be destroyed except in the methods specified by this bylaw, or by order of the commissioner of the Super League.

Oh, and one more thing for the Superstars!quote:The Superstars will not, under any circumstances, challenge the New York Macho Men without approval by 100% of the Superstars’ ownership. This one was approved by me, Pungry and Cthulhu Dreams after Senerio went to bed, but it was his idea in the first place. I think.

You know, brothers, it occurs to me that I may have been presumptuous. I came into this thread filled with enthusiasm and shouted, for all to hear, that the original Great Googly-Mooglies were making a comeback. I had the essence of rock and roll coursing through my veins, and I didn't slow down my cosmic exuberance long enough to give the Mooglies a proper introduction, for those who might not have been around for our first interstellar tour: Teams Selected: 1911 Philadelphia Athletics, 1934 Cleveland Indians, 2009 Cleveland Indians Home Stadium: I've played many venues in my time, some you wouldn't believe even if I described them. My favorite, though, is a little green patch of grass in a backwards hick town called Boston. Fenway Park. DH Preference: Let me ask you something, friend: Did you ever see a six-legged pegasus try to play a seven-handed guitar? It's the damnedest thing, really. Hilarious. Godawful music, though.

Question 1 I want my team... C. To not completely suck. The Mooglies' first tour was so good, and so very nearly great...but five seasons is a long time, man. The League's changed. I've changed. We've all changed. I just hope that this reunion doesn't end in demise. Question 2 The core of a successful Super-League team is... B. Its pitching You need to hit, of course. You need to draft well, make good trades, and not do anything Marauder wants you to do without consulting at least three other people. But if you can't get a guy out when you need to get a guy out, you've got nothing. Question 3 Your team is middling. But, if you take a certain risk, it may become a contender, or may be relegated after the season. If you do nothing, your team will probably survive, but certainly won't win a championship. Do you... A. Take the risk! Death of glory! We only get one life. In most things, we only get one shot. If you've got a chance to go to the dance, boy, you've got to take it. It's the reason that all of my teams have accepted the Commissar's Cup Challenge every year. As long as you'vbe got those dice in your hands, you've got a chance. All you have to do is roll. Question 4 Is Marauder evil? D. Yeah, man, dude's totally evil. So loving evil. Question 5 The thesis of Moneyball is that it is incumbent on ballclubs to forever seek out market inefficiencies in order to give their team the best return on investment. What is the greatest market inefficiency in the Super-League today? D. If I know what it is, wouldn't it be important for me not to publicize that information? Back on my planet, we have a saying: The purple moon's tides rise on their own; only the moon knows why, and only the moon needs to. The Super League is much the same, in that there's crazy poo poo like a purple moon and everything's loving insane. Question 6 My team sucks. What the gently caress went wrong? A. I hosed up. I really think the London Calling could have been something. It made me smile to see them successful in their challenge. But man, those "greater" Mooglies were just...ugh. When I think of the things that could have been done, even sitting out a year, if I had just brought these men back in the first place...it makes a man weep. Question 7 The best player of all time was... E. Barry Bonds Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson never faced a black man in their life. Josh Gibson, tragic though the circumstances were, never faced a white man. Ted Williams couldn't run or play defense to save his cantankerous old rear end. Barry Bonds did it all, and he did it better than anyone else. If you want to blame him for taking advantage of a horribly unregulated system, then that's fine. But every other player was playing by the same rules, and Barry Bonds was better than all of them. Question 8 My ideal castle is... C. Atop a floating island that glides along with the win, never stopping in any place for too long. This life is fleeting, as are so many things. Nothing is permanent, nor should it be. Question 9 The biggest Hall of Fame Snub is... D. Marvin Miller It's not even close. It's disgusting that Marvin Miller isn't in the Hall of Fame. There are players that should be enshrined and aren't, of course. All of the other candidates named have an excellent case, and I can name a dozen more that haven't, didn't or won't get the consideration and recognition that they deserve. But Marvin Miller's exclusion is a slap in the face of the MLBPA, and of every other union in the country. Question 10 The best sci-fi franchise is... E. The notion that Marvin Miller shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame I am SO ANGRY ABOUT IT. Question 11 Should Chicago forgive Steve Bartman? C. You're totally going to kill all of teams that picked 'yes', aren't you? It's not nice to pick on the weak and ignorant, Smasher. Question 12 If the Sun is one, and the Moon is two, then what is the Earth? Earth is a rock with some pretty good tunes and more drugs than a man would think can exist. Beyond that, who cares? Question 13 Will the new season of Community suck? A. 'Suck' is a strong word, it probably won't be quite as good, as it depended a lot on the sensibilities of Dan Harmon to work properly, but it will still be competent enough. It'll still be canceled, though. This, except much more negative. And if they sneak in another Subway episode I might kill someone. Question 14 Out of all of the idiotic characters Smasher has created, the one I'd want most on my team is... A. St. Mark Bellhorn Part of the reason for this is that I must constantly repent for hating Mark Bellhorn when he was on the Red Sox in 2004. Another part is that a competent backup infielder is worth more than a constantly striking out DH and a 16-year-old knuckleballer. Plus his character's more fun. Question 15 What was the point of this? A. It's complicated! It mostly involves him wanting us to amuse ourselves so he can have the rest of the day off, though. Bonus Essay Question Smasher, when you're done with that, can I get a hit? Thanks, dude.

Bearers! Craig Biggio is a nice asset to have, but calling him a catcher is silliness. The model you have was his last year behind the plate, and he allowed 126 runners to steal on him; if you put him back there for any amount of time, you're going to find that walks and singles are almost always two-base affairs. My Mooglies, meanwhile, are in desperate need of bullpen help. The arms we have are either too young or just not good enough to be counted on; what I need more than anything else is someone solid, who I know I can rely on to not completely suck. I propose to send you 2011 Alex Avila in exchange for 1999 Roberto Hernandez. EDIT: The Mooglies have also made a last-minute roster move; I'll take a cue from Cthulhu Dreams and keep an updated roster post here.

The Mooglies accept. This trade works in two ways: It helps mend my bullpen, and it lets me have "Lightning" Amos Strunk on the roster. That's a win just from his name alone.

In accordance with Ownership Bylaw #1, this rule required an 80% vote to pass; it received 100% approval from the Superstars' owners. As 20% owner, I approve this new bylaw.

 Hey, that Alex Avila has a notably higher rating than I'd expect. Please swap him and Jack Lapp, and let's see how he does. Thanks! Edit: This change is now reflected in my roster post. The Goog fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Aug 16, 2012 |

In the interest of making minor transactions as quick and painless as possible, the Rated R Superstars have authorized myself and TKBomber7285 to speak for the team on the following matters: - Injury replacement - Batting order configuration - Pitching rotation configuration Any move that one or the other of us orders regarding these matters should be considered to be approved by 100% of the Superstars' ownership. As 20% owner I approve this measure.

Smasher Dynamo posted:Why don't we wait for Angry_ed to accept the trade in-thread before I sign off on this latest trade that appears to serve no benefit other than making me do more work. Sorry for jumping the gun, Smasher. He and I negotiated and agreed to the deal over PM, so I'm confident that he'll approve it shortly. Otherwise I'll just look silly.

Expansion owners! Did your feeder teams have a ton of hitting, but no pitching? Have injuries ravaged your rotation? Are you unafraid of the notion of accepting someone who until very recently called themselves a Brony? The Great Googly-Mooglies are here to help! Our starting rotation currently contains 1911 Chief Bender, 1934 Mel Harder, 2011 Justin Verlander, and not one but TWO iterations of 2009 Cliff Lee. We also have the 1934 vintage of Monte Pearson, for those of you who are looking for a more economical option for your rotation. What do we want? I'm glad you asked. The Mooglies' rotation is stacked, but the lineup is a little less so. Specifically, we're looking to upgrade at the shortstop and corner outfield spots. We could also use a good shutdown reliever and an offensive upgrade over Home Run Baker at third base. So, if you have a surplus of bats, but need a pitcher, drop me a line!

I'm a little confused by the stat screens, simply because everything looks like full-season numbers. Or, in cases like BJ Ryan, three seasons' worth of numbers. 170 innings for a fragile closer in three months?  EDIT: Wait; it looks like the stats shown are predicted, rather than actual. Maybe it's a problem with the script?

If it's quarter after three in the morning, it must be trading time!!! Great Googly-Mooglies get: 2003 Jose Valverde Ryleh Cultists get: A second-round Super Draft pick, to be determined at the time of the Super Draft. The Mooglies currently own their picks, as well as those of the Second City Saints; the Cultists will receive the later of those two picks.
