That's already handled, unless Steve wants people want it hosted somewhere other then dreamhost (my host). I actually have a license of vBulletin that I've been trying to put to good use for well over a year now that might even be useful for us now too. I really hated phpBB3 when we moved from 2 to 3 in the old league but anything was better then that XMB that they used to run on the OOTP league hosted sites, thank god I found a tool to convert it to phpBB back then.

Anyway, I don't design, I usually make stuff work.

DanGarion · 05-26-2009, 06:51 PM

I talked with Kaz and he's interested Steve, might want to talk to him. I emailed Nate, hopefully he wants to join, he's fun.

stevew · 05-26-2009, 07:06 PM

Will try to do as much in game as possible.

Limited scouting and coaches
Tweak extensions if they are fucked
Modified financial model

Its really hard to be sure until I see the game.

kazey · 05-26-2009, 07:27 PM

sure..i'll take the reds if everyone else is in.

JS19 · 05-26-2009, 07:34 PM

If the Mets end up being taken, I'll grab the Giants, followed by the Marlins or Angels.

stevew · 05-26-2009, 07:44 PM

Koji is actually a Yanks fan. I'm going to tweak the owners roster later. Maybe we can get a forum together soon as well. I'm thinking June 21 live sim to kick things off. Depends on Markus and if its playable.

Radii · 05-26-2009, 07:50 PM

wow, lots of familier names, ya'll are tempting me to take the giants, I thought I was done with OOTP too :P

Dr. Sak · 05-26-2009, 07:51 PM

I will watch and laugh when Swaggs goes another 25 season without winning a title.

gstelmack · 05-26-2009, 08:01 PM

Fine, I'll officially take the Red Sox, with the caveat that enough house rules will push me away.

Maple Leafs · 05-26-2009, 08:02 PM

I see. Not so tough when you're not the one doing the re-simming, are you?

Come on over to the dark side. We need you. I wasn't planning to get X but this convinced me to do it.

Sean has got to be in too. I wish Swaggs and Sak were putting their names on teams. But with Steve, Leafs, Alan T, Dan, Schmidty, Koji, Ross, kazey, Nate, chinaski and the rest, this is too good to pass up.

Scoobz0202 · 05-26-2009, 09:57 PM

Are the Reds taken? If they are can I see an updated list to see if I want to participate

stevew · 05-26-2009, 10:04 PM

When I get home. Kaz was traditionally the Reds but I will pick his brain. I don't think he has major ties to them.

Scoobz0202 · 05-26-2009, 10:07 PM

Just saw he said he'll take them earlier.

I'll wait for the team list

kazey · 05-26-2009, 10:13 PM

i have no ties to the reds..sean already took the blue jays

Swaggs · 05-26-2009, 10:19 PM

Take the Pirates so that they don't suck.

stevew · 05-26-2009, 10:46 PM

I was thinking of being the pirates if swaggs doesn't play.

Passacaglia · 05-26-2009, 10:55 PM

Oh, if this is an extension or renewal of an older league, and someone had the White Sox there, they can have them again.

stevew · 05-26-2009, 11:35 PM

You can have the white sox. But only if you agree to pose on your myspace page with a chrome sawed off shotgun and blast Latino rap.

Okay that was an inside joke.

Not really an extension of an older league as much as slightly favored nation status to people who I'm sure are good owners. Which isn't to say others are bad. Back when the RWBL was mercy killed there was some talk of reforming. At least trying to make it happen and adding a bunch of good new people.

I think the rwbl sox had like 10 owners.

Inside joke or no, it should totally be a requirement.

stevew · 05-26-2009, 11:42 PM

I tried to PM Vibert but got no response. Does anyone talk to him?
And those 2 brothers too.

yeah, screw it, i'm in.

1. Giants
2. Cubs
3. Any NL Team not Atlanta or St Louis

I still have very fond memories of the 2009 Giants. That's the only title I've ever won in any online league.

domain is online, forum is there but not adjusted yet for us Steve, I'll probably have more then enough time to screw around on it tomorrow to do that.

DanGarion · 05-27-2009, 01:05 AM

Like I said earlier, I'll take the Marlins instead of the Dodgers if that would make someone that requested earlier for the Dodgers happy, even though I'm former RWBL Dodger owner and a all my life Dodger fan.........

stevew · 05-27-2009, 01:16 AM

I think there's about 3 openings by my count. For now, though, any new requests probably will be moving onto the waiting list, as I'm trying to get confirmations with a few (good old owner type)people for those last few spots.

I'm sure it will be one of those things where a few people decide they don't have time, etc, so as it gets closer to the actual opening of the league. Will work on getting forums set up over the next few days, etc.

fantom1979 · 05-27-2009, 01:17 AM

I have never played online, but it seems from reading the OOTP board that it is usually a bad idea to start a league with a x.0 version of the game. Maybe I am just remembering an old version and I am wrong on this.

DanGarion · 05-27-2009, 01:30 AM

Forum will slowly be coming online tomorrow at RWBL (Real World Baseball League) Forums - Powered by vBulletin

No forums up right now.

I'm probably awesome enough to take the place of 6 or 7 owners, but I'm not sure about 10. This will be difficult.

Nate said he'd be in, didn't say anything more then that you might want to talk to him Steve.

I'm don't mind taking another team to keep original RWBL owners with there old teams.

I'm new and know my place, just looking forward to being apart of an active league.

Besides even without the Man-Ram the Dodgers are rolling, life is good.

DanGarion · 05-27-2009, 01:53 PM

Well i have the Dodgers period per Steve now. So that point's all moot.

OOTP is usually somewhat decent about making sure that subsequent patches don't run leagues. But I imagine we won't start until the first patch is out, which to me usually seems like one comes out 2-3 weeks after release.

Bsak won't do it with me in the same division.

Scoobz0202 · 05-27-2009, 06:48 PM

Would it be alright if we got some "outsiders" involved in the league? I got a buddy from another game that I talk to on MSN all the time and he mentioned how he got his pre-order in and is looking to join another league.

I know he'd be reliable, for sure.

EDIT: I just talked to him. And he's in for sure if theres room so count on another.

My old tricks wont work with the new OOTP. Unlike some...I know when to stay retired.

INDalltheway · 05-27-2009, 07:08 PM

I'm officially pumped... This should be a ton of fun guys!

stevew · 05-27-2009, 07:11 PM

I have one more 18 hour day tomorrow. Friday and Saturday I'll have more time to invest into the forums. Start framing a basic structure etc.
Outsiders are fine. I just need to get back with a few people who might be in.

Dont isn't technically an original RWBL owner

MrBug708 · 05-27-2009, 07:21 PM

And I'll take the last open team if there is one. But it looks like you have plenty of owners

Swaggs · 05-27-2009, 07:33 PM

Now, where is HA?

I check these forums about once a year to see if a new FOF has come out. Strangely enough I pick the day when RWBL Redux is being created. I have never even posted here...

I'm pretty busy but I would love to join at some point in the future, with or without Sean Burroughs...

You make the cut before I do, definitely. I'm on the waiting list.
