New OOTP League Starting up

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 12:37 AM

(also was posted in the baseball forum)

That's right, an old OOTP league based out of FOFC, The Diamond Kings Baseball League, will be reorganizing itself and bringing their league back together. The league will be using OOTP9 and it is a must have to be in the league. The league is just in an infancy stage with ideas being floated out for what the rest of the league wants. Everything from Scouting, to player compensation, to the Rule 5 draft, to draft picks being traded, are part of the discussion. Feel free to check it out and ask any questions about the league or the direction we are planning on going. We aren't looking to start up for some time (at least a month) so it gives you some time to get in with the discussion and figure out if you have any interest.

Current FOFC members who are back with the league include Sackattack, Icy, and Vince.

All we have is a message board so far and here is the address. Message Board - Home

Just regged over there and requested a team.

INDalltheway · 08-01-2008, 09:18 AM

I'd like the cubbies if they are available...

CleBrownsfan · 08-01-2008, 09:31 AM

Real or Fictional?

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 09:48 AM

The rosters are real. The roster will be opening day of this past year. No post opening day trades will be part of the league

Everyone who signed up on the boards is in. Ross, I'll sign you up as well

MizzouRah · 08-01-2008, 11:50 AM

It has been a LONG time since I've been in any multi-player league, but I'm thinking with ootp9, this might be the best way to play.

CleBrownsfan · 08-01-2008, 12:00 PM

I'm asking txpx to give up the Indians so I can run with the Tribe in this league

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 12:30 PM

Sounds good. The league is filling up. The more the merrier!

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 01:15 PM

Here are the open teams as of right now

Baltimore
New York A
Toronto
Chicago A
Kansas City
Seattle
Philly
Washington
San Diego

CleBrownsfan · 08-01-2008, 01:22 PM

I'll take Philly until txpx gives up Cleveland for me!

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 01:28 PM

Fair enough. I PM'ed you a message on the boards

JeeberD · 08-01-2008, 04:15 PM

Oh, hey, thanks for asking if I would like to re-join.

Not that I would be able to at this point, but that's beside the point.

MizzouRah · 08-01-2008, 04:49 PM

I would love for the JeeberD to be a part of this league!

JeeberD · 08-01-2008, 04:57 PM

Tell Cringer to give up the Astros and I'll consider it...

C'mon Cringer!

Won't be as fun smacking the stros in the mouth!!!

Vince · 08-01-2008, 06:29 PM

I think Pennywise is interested in Toronto -- if not Toronto, possibly San Diego. I have to kick his butt into getting online again.

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 06:46 PM

That works. Or tell him he can be the Nats

Anthony · 08-01-2008, 07:31 PM

i'd be interested if the Mets were available. doesn't look like they are.

I'll vouch for Anthony as the best OOTP owner evar!

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 07:37 PM

I don't need any introduction to Kingjackoff

Hey, I contacted everybody I could remember being in the league. I didn't remember you being in, never mind the fact that you're apparently never on AIM.

MrBug708 · 08-01-2008, 09:01 PM

Teams available
Baltimore
Toronto
Seattle
Washington
Kansas City
Chicago A

MrBug708 · 08-02-2008, 11:21 AM

The Jays and the ChiSox are all that remains

TurnerONU22 · 08-02-2008, 12:31 PM

I'd be interested, preferably the Jays

Oilers9911 · 08-02-2008, 01:25 PM

I'll take whomever is left...if there is anyone left at all that is.

I was the original Astros owner, but I dropped out a couple of season before the league folded...

Looks like the league is full. I'd be shocked if everyone is here in a couple of weeks when the league starts. I'll PM you guys in order if that does happen

We mighta passed each other coming and going.

bhlloy · 08-02-2008, 06:06 PM

Totally geeked about getting into an online OOTP league again after all these years. Is there a tutorial anywhere about how to use OOTP9 for online play? I imagine it's not as simple as it used to be 4 or 5 versions ago...

Here is the online manual which has a link for online leagues. Looks like I need to read up as well.

""

Edit: I might have time for the league, not sure what my interest level in OOTP is tho.

MrBug708 · 08-03-2008, 01:23 AM

Ah, General Mike! I totally forgot that you were in the league before!

General Mike · 08-03-2008, 10:59 AM

It seems like everyone always forgets about me. I guess I should be used to it by now.

MizzouRah · 08-03-2008, 02:06 PM

I have a horrible memory, but I know GM was in the initial startup and I *think* was the A's?

Vince · 08-03-2008, 02:29 PM

You are correct sir. Sadly, I fall into the category of didn't remember he was in the league until he said something

Tasan · 08-03-2008, 05:13 PM

When are we looking at kicking this thing off?

General Mike · 08-03-2008, 05:44 PM

It's alright. Maybe keep me on the waiting list or some such. I'm still having trouble getting used to OOTP 9, and any of the OOTPs after 6.5

MizzouRah · 08-03-2008, 09:01 PM

Me too GM.. but I'm thinking multi player is my ootp saving grace!

MrBug708 · 08-07-2008, 04:49 PM

So new threads and info there. Please vote!

Tasan · 08-11-2008, 12:51 AM

Don't forget if you signed up for this league you really should go vote in the rules polls.

MrBug708 · 08-11-2008, 01:41 PM

The initial file is up

MrBug708 · 08-22-2008, 01:55 PM

The board has moved up to a new site. I also have the Mariners open as of right now, possibly a couple of more teams

Diamond Kings Baseball League • Index page

MrBug708 · 08-22-2008, 02:25 PM

Baltimore is open as well

stevew · 08-22-2008, 03:12 PM

how much is version 9?

MrBug708 · 08-22-2008, 06:10 PM

30 dollars? 40 dollars? Not sure actually?

Nice Guy Eddie · 08-22-2008, 06:30 PM

I'll take Philly

MrBug708 · 08-22-2008, 06:37 PM

I have a Phillies owner right now

Nice Guy Eddie · 08-22-2008, 07:20 PM

never mind then

MizzouRah · 08-23-2008, 10:35 AM

Forum looks great!

WSUCougar · 08-23-2008, 12:42 PM

Can I dip my toe in the MP baseball waters and give the Mariners a try? I've never done MP OOTP but I do have the game (OOTP9) and would like to give it a shot. But if you have a more firm owner in mind, by all means choose them!
