Re: Cairo Chariot Archers Hall of Fame

Actually, I was probably going to ask you about the Cairo HOF since you had the team for a while. But when participation points are dangled for starting an HOF, I guess I have to make one!

Re: New Member

I remember feeling overwhelmed when I joined the Brewster last year. My best advice for you is to follow the old advice of not trying to eat the entire elephant in one bite. Instead, take it bite by bite — listen to a podcast, read the new Media Guide under the league features section, write a litt...

Re: 2043, FPL Starts/Arby/FA Filing Sim Chatter

Wow, this is a good lesson learned in being more involved. I really really did not want two overpaid guys to come back. Or at least at those salaries. Thank heavens for the UMEBA salary cap increase, but damn it I wish I had had more time with OOTP21 so I could have withdrawn those arbitration offer...

I never look at wins for a pitcher, I know it's unlikely but you could get a pitcher with a 0-20 record in 20 games with a 1.00 era and another pitcher with a 20-0 record with a 10.00 era.
Take whatever metric you want. The Bancroft pitchers were terrible in 2042.

Ah, thanks for that; I totally missed it. I kinda zoned out in the latter stages of the 2042 season. I couldn't keep up.

Re: 2043, Options/Awards/FPL Rosters/Pre-Arby Sim Chatter

I think I might be a day behind in the game, that must be it. I spent about 20 minutes doing the offseason voting only to find it was already closed in Stats+. A great harbinger for how the offseason may go in Cairo!

Re: Award Voting Due Tuesday Night!

I'm not sure if there was one day notice to be able to vote, but I would have liked to have voted. Ah well. I know I'll miss some things this offseason - just way too rapid for me to keep up with. I'll do my best to keep up but I'm not too confident. :(

Re: 2043, Options/Awards/FPL Rosters/Pre-Arby Sim Chatter

Are we still exporting from OOTP20? I just tried to export from OOTP21 and it says it exported...but the export tracker still shows the red "X" by Cairo.

Re: Call for Media Guide Stuff!

@Dington volunteered for Burt preview for UMEBA...would love one other UMEBA GM to take a crack at the Bancroft, plus any other additional features you may be interested in. Just let Ron or I know! I'd definitely like to write something for the UMEBA, but a Bancroft preview doesn't really excite me...

Bancroft League Pitcher of the Year Award

Holy crap, there were some substandard pitchers chosen for this award in the game! Not one pitcher with more than 15 wins!? And the one guy that had 15 wins had a pedestrian year ( Jose Villarreal, Jerusalem - 15-13, 4.51 ERA, 202 IP). Only two guys with 14 wins! Henning Veenman of Beirut with a 12-...

Re: The BBA Today #37 - OOTP v21 and the BBA!

So much to catch up on in the BBA for me! Really nice to hear from Matt and also to hear about some of the changes being made this offseason. It looks like there are many changes with the UMEBA for me to get used to!

Re: Curious About the Umeba Changes

Thank you so much for this thread, Chuck. And for your responses Ron. I have many concerns about the UMEBA like Chuck, but seeing that I really tailed off as the season went on because I couldn't keep up with four sims, and it was my first season, I'll shut up and see what happens in 2043 and hopefu...

Re: Athens Fighting Centaurs Reporters 2043

I love the fictional reporters idea. You have a better imagination than I do! I wasn't able to dream that kind of thing up, though I wanted to. I tried to look up famous Egyptians and I think I got hung up on Omar Sharif's Wikipedia page. Maybe he could be a guest Cairo Chariot Archers correspondent!

Re: 2043, Options/Awards/FPL Rosters/Pre-Arby Sim Chatter

Too many sims for me to keep up with and trouble getting OOTP21 installed. Will do so as soon as I can.

Re: The Brewster Moves To OOTP21!!!!

Not an issue. We ask the question about being willing to upgrade to new versions of OOTP in the Application to try to avoid any confusion. We will always upgrade to the new version in the offseason after a new version of OOTP comes out. Great point, and I am fully aware that I checked the box or re...

So, it was discussed... HERE As I said, I'm trying very hard not to be catty or ungrateful right now. However, this thread was started the very day I joined BBA. In addition, this thread is not specifically about OOTP21 either. In fact, I just scrolled through the thread and I see no mention about ...

I can understand that organizing a big giant OOTP league such as this one can be a no win proposition at times. So please forgive me for being a touch catty right now.
