[FOF/TCY] Enter The Matrix
What if you were part of a consortium of evil overlords sometime in the 23rd century who used human beings as a source of power and entertainment, a la "The Matrix?" Suppose some of you got together and wanted to introduce a professional football program. The league would mimic the NFL from a few hundred years ago. A college system would be put in place to provide a regular influx of talent. Once the program is running, you'll mostly just watch, and have regular input on the management decisions of one of the teams in the league. The Matrix will manage the other 31 teams.
Your input is requested to help build the foundation of the league. Each team will be granted the following players: 1 Rare Superstar 1 Superstar 2 Near Superstars 2 Elite Starters 2 Excellent Starters Choose a team, and then provide names, positions, and (optionally) any particular attributes you would like to see generated in each player for each of the available slots. You may use actual historical players, or make up entirely fictional characters. Each team will be assigned the 8 players to their initial roster with a 5 year cap-friendly contract. I doubt all 32 teams will be represented here. Teams will be "assigned" on a first-post, first served basis. Please choose only one team until the thread has been around for a few days, so as to give as many people as are interested a chance to participate. I will play as the Washington Redskins, and will choose the seed roster for that team. If teams are left unclaimed, I'll do my best to fill in the blanks, but they may end up left empty, and thus highly disadvantaged early in the game. Once the program begins, an annual draft file will be generated from the college program. This file will be modified with draftee suggestions taken from the consortium. Before the draft each year, anyone may provide data for one quality draft prospect. Post as much or as little detail about the draftee as you like - including name, college, hometown, height, weight, etc. Desired skill set will be taken into consideration, but left to my discretion. Any suggested draftee will be a high-round prospect. Time permitting, I will try to run this dynasty at a one-season-per-week pace. This should allow enough time to get feedback from the board and for me to run the game and compile reports. Please post questions, suggestions, and general feedback concerning the general structure of this dynasty - I'm happy to make changes if they make more sense than what I'm already planning to do here. |

Can you have a team with characters from "Star Wars" or the WWF, for example? Maybe even cartoon characters, as references to the pop culture of "past times"?

I really want to join, but I'm not sure how much time this will take. I want to make sure I will be able to do it.
If it isn't too much time to do, I will be the Miami Dolphins. Are you surprised?

FYI - I'm going to set all the birthdates to 1-1-1979, so that we've got a youthful core of players to begin with. Unless otherwise specified, I'm leaving all the other personal data alone (hometown, college, etc.)

Wow, and I was going to go for the Vikes before settling on the Oilers. Wonder how Tark, Carter, Reveiz, Smith and co are going to enjoy watching Salisbury at the helm. Is he still hosting that show with the remote control home made bashing bots?

Dammit, Travis. I was a day late and a dollar short. I wanted to take Tennessee and rename them the Oilers. I would have gone with Childress over Dishman, but a good job for the most part
Unfortunately, I don't really have any teams I'd be interested in using other than the Oilers but Travis looks to represent us well. SI

Heh, you nailed my last choice on the nose there. That, or I was considering Kearse on the end, but would have ended up taking Childress over him. Just couldn't pass up that shut down corner though.

Well, maybe you can have an Oilers Part Deux. You know, Cody Carlson at QB, Lorenzo White at RB, Curtis Duncan, Webster Slaughter, and Gary Wellman at reciever. You can use Childress on the D-Line, Al Del Greco as kicker supreme and top it all off with LB Barron Wortham, that great former UTEP Miner!
Come on SI, it'll be fun! We need you in the league!!!

Absolutes:

You have to go with Lo. at running back...
Hmmm, you could go with Chandler, Carlson, or Bucky Richardson at QB (but really, you have to go with Cody), and there are some pretty decent defensive players you can use. William Fuller, Al Smith, Sean Jones, Lamar Lathon, Blaine Bishop, Daryll Lewis, Barron Wortham ( ), etc... Don't forget Del Greco either. A great kicker might be valuable...

And hey, if we have enough Oiler's teams, one of us will have to do well, like when we picked a few of the 80's Oiler's teams for that tourney that was run on here.
