Application from Drew Visscher - New Applicant

Post by Anonymous » Wed Dec 08, 2021 2:40 am

A user, Drew Visscher, has applied with the following information using the application form.
Real name: Drew Visscher
IP: 72.42.178.11
Email: andrew.visscher@gmail.com
Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
I'm a very passionate writer and imaginative simmer. I drifted here after listening to the Brewstopocene Reviewed podcast memorializing a late friend of mine, Vic Caleca. Vic and I joined PEBA at the same time, and he was always very encouraging with my writing and team. I want to be part of that sort of community, and contribute to it as well. I'm looking to find a combined outlet for my passion for writing, discussing baseball, and sports management simulation.

I like to orient my franchise toward a continuity of short stories that gives life and dramatic personality to the team, and it's hard to find a good writing league. I think it's a great match.
First/Last Name: Drew Visscher
City/State/Country: Fairbanks, AK USA
Email Address: andrew.visscher@gmail.com
OOTP Forums Username: catamountkid
Desired Forum Username: Drew_V
Date of Birth (MM/DD/YY) for in-game purposes: 03/26/1990
Occupation: U.S. Army Officer
Other OOTP Leagues (with links): PEBA (http://pebabaseball.com/), LBL (https://legacy-baseball.com/)
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?: Any league enjoyed by Vic is alright in my book. Also, my goodness, your Media Guides! So amazing. I want to be part of an active and immersive OOTP universe.
Describe your GM style: Still learning (started in '17.). I like building robust farms and making interesting trades. Ultimately, I'm a romantic. Always filled with hope for the next season.
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): No, nor have I been to Hawaii before.
Tell us more about yourself: I grew up playing baseball in rural Montana, and my dad was a local sportscaster. I left baseball in High School and didn't pick it back up until 2017. I'm a Literature Major, but don't hold that against me.
How did you hear about the BBA?: Mutual friends in PEBA

Well, that's one way to write an application letter if the intent was to fall into good graces.

Howdy folks!

Happy to be here. I'm what they call a "triple threat" in the OOTP world: new, young, and prone to making big trade mistakes.

Just kidding. A little.

Very much looking forward to digging in to the lore this week and wrapping my head around the league.
