Application from Gregory Smothers - New Applicant

Post by Anonymous » Thu Jun 25, 2020 3:08 pm

A user, Gregory Smothers, has applied with the following information using the application form.
Real name: Gregory Smothers
IP: 73.43.239.245
Email: gcsii99@gmail.com
Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
I'm getting back into OOTP after several years away and looking for sports/baseball fixes. Working from home with the wife and 2 kids under 10 always around, one comes to appreciate a bit of escapism...I think I'm a decent enough writer and am willing to take any available team.
First/Last Name: Greg Smothers
City/State/Country: Acworth, GA, US
Email Address: gcsii99@gmail.com
OOTP Forums Username: gcsii99
Desired Forum Username: gcsii99
Date of Birth (MM/DD/YY) for in-game purposes: 02/23/77
Occupation: Programmer
Other OOTP Leagues (with links): Currently just Heroes Reborn Baseball League - https://statsplus.net/hrbl/
Have you read the BBA Constitution and agree to abide by its rules?: Yes
Do you own the current version of OOTP, and plan to buy all future versions?: Yes
Do you understand the Participation Point System, and agree to be a regular contributor to our community?: Yes
What interests you about the BBA?: Looking for a league with history, with good involement/participation. Was in the MoneyBall Union many moons ago and am ready to get back into online ootp... BTW those Media Guides...just WOW!
Describe your GM style: Looking for an immersive experience, so not laser focused on winning, willing to trade when appropriate, though not just for trading's sake. Enjoy building minors through the draft and watching players progress through the system, culminating in a paper tiger that breaks my heart in a regular, repeating pattern, but in new inventive ways...*sigh*
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): nope
Tell us more about yourself: Braves fan, married father of 2 young children, like sports and science fiction, dislikes coronavirus, brussel sprouts, Bryce Harper
How did you hear about the BBA?: ootp boards

Let's have a shocker and have someone under the age of 60 be the first one to make a smothers brothers joke.

In all seriousness, welcome gregory.

Welcome, Gregory! Did your mom like you best? (That’s a Smothers Brothers reference, Justin. As a 64-year-old, I remember them all too well).

Love the avatar. And for those guys who don't know who the Smothers Brothers were--especially journalists and political commentators--well, you've got some homework to go do. Extremely important entertainers.
