I would like to volunteer to be a commish for this possible league. If someone could help with logos for a webpage (HA?), it would be all good. I am only using 1/10th of my allotted bandwidth for my FOF league and have plenty of disk space, so it could work on my end. |

So here's a question...what should the 'level' prestige be? I say it should be 0, and we all try to work our way up to powerhouses, rather than 50, and we work our way up or down. Some tests might help us decide which is better, though. If no one else does, I'll work on it when I ever have time to get the damn game!

my opinion is if you start at 0, there's nowhere to go but up, but if you start at 50 prestige, then there's that clear indicator of what teams are on the up and up and which teams are shitting themselves. |

I just talked to Arlie. Zero definitely will not work. Only 1 and 2 star recruits would ever, ever commit. Higher-level recruits have a minimum prestige that they'll accept. I asked what he'd recommend, and he said that we would "probably" be ok setting everyone at 55, but he needed to check and make sure.

There would be enough to fill up every team, but just barely. I'd almost guarantee that there'd be major issues at some positions, though, with not enough players.

OK...more from Arlie on the 0-prestige idea, cut and pasted with his permission:

That's interesting reading. What's the lowest prestige a team has in the game? Comments like that make me worried that prestige is handled like TCY, where even the worst schools had prestige in the 50s. I still don't think the idea is "stupid" it has its merits -- like I said, "depending on the direction we want the league to take" but I'm fine either way.

I would be in for a "fictional" league. Kind of along the lines of HA's feelings, I could then pretend Georgetown has a football program.

Count me in on a fictional even prestige league (50-55 per Arlie's info).

Ben has no thought filters. Actually, the idea isn't stupid at all. Passacaglia just didn't know it worked that way and to be honest, it makes more sense that the players should adapt to the prestige levels available which would allow a lot more diversity in game options. Starting prestige at 0 makes sense when you think about the start of an Association. Now, get back to your dynasty! I'm hooked.

In all seriousness, I'm starting to think I should have started with a real-life league or an even-Prestige one for my *first* real career. I'm considering shelving that career for a while and getting a little better at the game before I continue it. We'll see. I don't really have any time to play again until late tonight or tomorrow morning, so I'll chew on it some. I've finished the next recruiting stage, and signed no one with more than one star. I set Columbus to have lower Prestige than anyone else in the universe (I think by 5-10 points). Maybe I'm in over my head for now.

Assuming there is a reliable commish I think a fictional league with equal starts might actually get me to buy the game.

Out there idea: Is it possible to have a promotion/relegation system? Might be cool for a fictional league if possible.

rather intriguing. i embrace thinking outside of the box and using a game in ways a developer might not have even imagined. |

Hmmm... That could be fun. Have different conferences that represent tiers of excellence. After the first season, all conference winners are promoted into the A1 conference. 2nd places get in the A2 conference, etc. All teams in the top conference get xx points added to their prestige - A2 conference teams get a smaller bump in their prestige. Then at the end of each subsequent season, the worst team(s) are relegated, and the conference winner is promoted. That sounds like fun to me! |

oh, of course. as someone mentioned earlier, this *is* a first generation game, afterall. even if it's not doable at this point in time, it's nice to know that the game has some wiggle room and can bend a little bit, and isn't as black and white as some other games are. |

ok, so are we leaning towards completely fictional, 1-AA schools, a mix, or what? I'd favor fictional.
I will get a message board up on my site tonight for further discussion |

I think fictional is good, but if someone wants to use a real college name they should be allowed.

I spent my first 2 years of college at a Division 2 school, I think it would be cool to see some of those teams in a league. Go NSIC!
