Application from Taylor Skidmore - New Applicant

Post by Anonymous » Sat Sep 03, 2022 7:51 pm

A user, Taylor Skidmore, has applied with the following information using the application form.
Real name: Taylor Skidmore
IP: 24.90.157.7
Email: taylor@taylorskidmore.com
Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
Although this would be my first online OOTP league, I've been playing OOTP on and off since OOTP19. I'm an avid Mets fan, and also an avid tabletop card & dice baseball player.

I am specifically applying to your league for two main reasons: I am very interested in playing in a fictional league to break away from my preconceived real-world baseball notions and dig a bit deeper into the OOTP engine; and I really, really want an opportunity to practice my baseball writing skills and get some feedback on them. I'm not the greatest writer, but I'd really like to develop my skills.

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?: the long-standing history; the writing component; the completeness of the fictional universe
Describe your GM style: Not quite sure what you're looking for but I typically like mid-tier rebuilds in my OOTP saves
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): I have not
Tell us more about yourself: huge mets fan, season ticket holder at the Brooklyn Cyclones, avid card&dice baseball player. Other major gaming is flight simulators
How did you hear about the BBA?: OOTP forums while looking for a league that does writing

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I had seen a few posts advertising the GBC league on the OOTP forums, and the writing element really piqued my interest!

I'm not an amazing OOTP player, but I'm always learning more about baseball and wanted an opportunity to get better at OOTP and stretch my writing muscles a little bit!
