Little League starting

Hey Spyke, I just retired one of my MBBL2 teams. If you got room for one more, I'd be interested ... if not that's fine.

As for the cards, well in the PBeM tool the card files are completely editable ... for that matter so is the handicap table.

Change them and use a custom table for the little league. The MBBL and MBBL2 use different tables, its really easy to do.

Even if I cannot be in the league, just let me know and I'll help you set up the ini files for the league rules, random event cards, or handicap table that you want. Since the team will likely be very equal ... I'm thinking you'll want to use a modified Random Event table instead of the handicap table. Instead of the 3E rules, you might want to go with 1 card for everyone .... a roll of 6 gets you one additional random event.

Just my thoughts.

Me too then! (if he didn't just grab the last slot.

)

They'll probably do a lot better than my Elves.

Just a thought: Will aging rules be in effect, and if so, do we need them?
It's rare to start with 11 in a pub league as it is..

Hey reading the Pub rules ... I need a clarification.

Is it 2 players of choice ... ie can I have 2 Blitzers or 2 Catchers?

Or do I get 2 players with a max of 1 from either Blitzer, Catcher, Thrower?

I'm trying to decide between one of the following 4 combos:

1 Blitzer/1 Thrower
1 Catcher/1 Thrower
2 Blitzer
2 Catchers

Also it says no wizards ... does that mean no apothecary. I could understand if it did ... but I'm not sure.

I read the article as you any have ANY 2 non-linemen, so any of the combos above is OK by me.

Regards the apothecary - as there are no deaths and at least 9/11ths of the team have NI's already I think it is within the spirit of the little league to say no apothecaries. After all, why should an apothecary prevent "I forgot my kit".

And thanks to Galak for pointing out the BBCARDS.INI file can be edited to include the random events ONLY, so we won't be using the handicap table. I'll take that up with him via PM or email this week.

Okay last other question ... should the HTML have an Other column or no Other column.

I just want to make sure whatever I dump mets the format that you are setting up.

That's what you get for asking a computer programmer to pick best painted team .... even a hobby world famous computer programmer ...

Never mind 'Stop whinging and start playing', how about 'Stop whinging and sort your Pub roster out'?

I blame the poor light, surely Ronald's judgement can't be that bad!

DW .... yah I'd leave the Aging table in.

I've had a lot of friend play in Pub Leagues and get the living cr*p beat out them by accident.

Rookies playing this game in little to no padding tends to led to injures ... the aging will represent the wear and tear that an older pub player would suffer.

How else do you get the "in my day" ...type stores.

If the honoured gentlemen will think about it - the table Spyke's Dykes played at for the whole tournament had the best lighting of any table there, so don't go blaming the "poor lighting"

You could of course blame that funny smelling tobacco smoke that filled the place

I demand a recount.

My point entirely chap! I was refering to the poor light on the other tables!

I had to smoke to see where my players were...

This is a list of those whom have said they are "in" - so to speak. In no particular order:

Dangerous Dave
Deathwing (number emailed)
Longfang
CunningStunt
Anthony_TBBF
Diesel
Spyke
BigD
Princelucianus (not confirmed)
Norse (number emailed)
McDeth
GalakStarscraper
LawQuoter (number emailed)
Vesticle
Sean Newboy
Acerak

By my count that's upto 16 participants, so I could do with 2 more assuming Lucy is in.

Could each of you email me a number between 1 and 1000, and signup for the mailing list (later post in this thread). I'll use the number to determine which conference you're in - I'll start by announcing I'll choose 666
