Application from Woody Donahue - New Applicant

Post by Anonymous » Thu Jan 14, 2021 1:06 am

A user, Woody Donahue, has applied with the following information using the application form.
Real name: Woody Donahue
IP: 2001:16b8:49ea:6900:d133:3321:a6a8:fb1c
Email: donahue.woody@gmail.com
Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
I've been a pretty big OOTP fan since 17, never been part of an online league before but I'd like to give it a shot. I mostly just play solo and occasionally post random tidbits to Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/woods415) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/woods415). I'm a professional video editor and can offer y'all my time for any promotional materials you might need.
First/Last Name: Woody Donahue
City/State/Country: Berlin, Germany
Email Address: donahue.woody@gmail.com
OOTP Forums Username: woods
Desired Forum Username: woods
Date of Birth (MM/DD/YY) for in-game purposes: 03/18/87
Occupation: Video Editor
Other OOTP Leagues (with links): none
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?: not yet, but I'll get the hang of it
What interests you about the BBA?: the level of depth and detail you guys put into the writing, I think it's brilliant.
Describe your GM style: every guy deserves a chance until they fail to drive in that runner on third with less than 2 outs. Then they get traded the next day.
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): no
Tell us more about yourself: I'm originally from San Francisco but I live in Europe now. I've witnessed two no-hitters and three championships. I'm pretty chill.
How did you hear about the BBA?: a random post on FB in the OOTP group.

Welcome Woody! I see you've never been in an online league for OOTP. I believe online is where the game really shines, and this particular league is one of the best if not the best. So you landed in the right place.

If for some reason we never have space for you, I'd like at least a custom ammy named "Woody Donahue." Name's awesome.

Hi all, thanks for the warm welcome! Until I have a team, I'm more than happy reading up on the league history and all the wacky stuff you guys have written over the years. And yes I'm aware that my name sounds like a randomly generated OOTP player.

Not having a team can still keep you very busy in this BBA universe. I’d recommend paying special attention to the UMEBA since that is where you will almost certainly bring your career.
