DYNASTY RULES

1) I will be the first truly cruel commissioner of this era. There's not an actual timetable that I have in mind, because I am human and realize that every situation isn't always the same. However, if you have a CPU game I expect that poo poo to be played by no longer than 72hrs(excluding extraordinary circumstances of course). I don't care if you sim plays to see that it's done. The rate at which we advance will be very arbitrary and to my preference.

2) Please communicate in the thread on a regular basis. It takes but a minute to post about your schedule or any problems you're having in the dynasty.

3) Don't play like a jerk: nano blitzes, 24/7 no-huddle, putting speed WRs at TE(w/o officially changing his position), or in memory of my dear friend Bio - changing a CB to QB, ya know, poo poo like that. I'm not gonna get more specific then that so use your brain. If you have to think twice about it then you probably shouldn't do it in the first place.

4) You can reset CPU games as much as necessary to get the win. Please, no rage quitting against other users, and let's not destroy a user team that isn't available to play for that week. Just do enough to get the win.


CONFERENCE SETUP
We will be using schools from both the BigTen and Pac12 conferences, but consolidating them all under the B1G due to loss of players. This means that anyone joining after the season has started will have to choose a B1G team this season, but can switch to a PAC team(if desired) during the next off-season. Looks like we're to the Wild West as everyone will be shooting for a spot in the B1G CG, and possibly the Rose Bowl.

Welcome to Season 5!

Everyone has a CPU game so let's try to advance by Tuesday night.

John Brown
Jul 10, 2009

So I wasn't having a good day yesterday and decided to take it out on the CPU. Also, my freshman HB is pretty much Devin Hester so good luck with that. In my first attempt to play the game he returned the opening kickoff, and then another punt. I accidentally quit the game by pausing it one second before the game was actually finished, and didn't realize I wasn't at the expected menu. Anyway, in the follow up attempt he and my defense absolutely exploded.

John Brown

I think this week's advance will really be determined by the one user game. Wreckus and Sly, get to it.

John Brown
Jul 10, 2009

No. Fucks. Given.

Nebraska makes SCe go night-night laying it on em' 111-7. If it wasn't for a CPU glitch where my CB went full retard with the ball in the air then I would've shut them out.

The best part about all of this is the time my backups are getting. I tend to take out my starters when they reach any of the following: 3 INTs, 3 Sacks, 200 rush yds/3 TDs, 300 pass yds/4 TDs, 200 rec yds or 3 TDs.

My freshman HB has now returned 5 punts in 3 games. This is the team Miami was meant to be.

John Brown
Jul 10, 2009

Haha I meant to throw in a blurb about how it probably doesn't mean much but it feels good to get my first shutouts back-to-back.

John Brown

Wreckus, you will unfortunately be put on AP if you don't respond by tonight.

We're advancing Tuesday night.

Work it out amongst yourselves.

John Brown

The game will be simmed. Sorry, but I don't want to hold up the league for one user game. I'm advancing us now. Someone can post the games or I will when I get home from work.

Dio, after Dubious' loss to Rutgers last week I'm a bit hesitant to sim your game against Minnesota. How soon can you get it in?

I don't necessarily need to, but what I don't want is to wait until tomorrow, and the game still ends up getting simmed because you can't get to it. If within the next couple of hours you can guarantee you'll knock out tomorrow, I'll wait. Otherwise it's getting simmed.

I'm out of town until Thursday is my game a conference one? If not I'll take a sim.

Not only are you matched up against NU, but no one else has played their CPU games, so we might be in for a later advance.

Don't hold up on my account, in fact I am about to go out of town for two weeks so I'd vote for an advance (and sim) tonight so I can do a user game (if I have that next week) tomorrow.

You have Minnesota next week. I'd be more concerned with the game against NU you have this week.

We'll still advance Saturday night.

So uhh Zach...you actually have a CPU game.

John Brown
Jul 10, 2009

Ok, Cletus. Let's get to the bottom of this because it's not making any sense. Take a look at ATH Nick Johnson, and SS Rich Hart. You and I had the same amount of weekly bonus points for those players, and our visits are scheduled for weeks 13-14. The bonus points are attributed that are not stat/performance related (Program Tradition, Contender, Conference Prestige, etc).

WHY IN TGE EVERLOVING gently caress DID YOU GAIN 1000pts?!?! You've got to be cheating. There's no other way
:negative:

For this...I must break Dick Butt.

cletus42o posted:

Hm. Maybe it has something to do with coming off of a bye week for some reason? I can't really tell - for Nick Johnson, from my perspective, you lost 1050 points. I've offered him a scholarship and you haven't (since he had me at 1st and you were probably hoping to wait). I have him in my #2 slot in my board. Other than those things, I don't know. And you are putting points into him I assume, right? I've got all 700 assigned to him. I've fully scouted him.

Ready when you are to play, too. ZSB and I are scheduled for 11am ET in the ACC, but I should be able to play around that - or tonight.

Here's the thing: He's number one on my board, I've been putting 700pts into him every week, and a scholarship is only like an extra 50-100pts one-time only. Now you make a good point about the bye week, but have you not steady had one? Because if so you should've dropped behind considerably at one point.

Also, me losing 1000pts, you gaining 1000, means the same thing. That's semantical really.

E: Actually, the bye week theory is invalid because the same happened in the SEC where I just beat Dio. gently caress this game.

Nebraska over Michigan, 42-24. It's amazing how even in triple coverage Dick Butt still manage to come down with ball. Somehow I held him to 8 Rec 89YDS and a TD - I'll take it I guess lol.

Your defense really had no answer for my offense. Your sack and pick came on a broken play and risky throw on my part. Really wished my WR would've at least gone for the ball there.

Anyhow, GG.

GG. I was glad Dick Butt was able to at least get one TD. I figured you were going to do everything you could to keep him from scoring, so that was a small victory. Just couldn't afford those turnovers, your offense had the ball too much for me to try to get back in it.

You ball hogged to him so much in the first drive it caught me by surprise. Sometimes when I'm in perfect coverage I start looking elsewhere because I'm thinking you're not gonna throw it - and you did lol.

Also, I've been trying to play more ball control and it typically works tremendously.
