IFA Circle Jerk Thread

[fignuts]

Then it stands. Cause I’d x dat box

 

[fignuts]

And we at a stand stop then? Where’s the other 6 tallies go?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Glad we're throwing ideas out NOW instead of, oh, I don't know, before the test sim.

Is this a joke.

Wow, abolish is intriguing. But I would do it with discoveries turned off as well.

Warning: Tank will increase

 

[Karl Hungus]

Is this a joke.

Ok, but I don't think anyone else even brought that up? We ran the test with IFA off. I was pretty happy with the results- top prospects were like 2/3 drafted players.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I would have brought it up more, apparently I was crap posting drafts when you asked about it. I thought everyone hated discoveries so assumed they were off. My only concern now is the tactic that Hayvis posted. Otherwise testing results seem fine to roll with

I didn't know that what hayvis posted WAS a tactic. I haven't touched my allocations since probably the 2060's when I tanked & got Nelson Andres with the 1-1.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Same but now we know it is a tactic.

 

[Travis7401]

So why am I getting all the finds with my allocation set to 0% international?

@Wooly cheat codes?

 

[Karl Hungus]

This reminds me to add "wooly" to the blocked words list on Twitch.

Are we intentionally trying to make the league super boring?

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Are we intentionally trying to make the league super boring?

Yes

 

[Karl Hungus]

Don't worry, Hayyvis will keep us immersed.

 

[Wolfman21]

Feels like we're trying to get to a point where you can put your team on "Auto" and still be somewhat competitive. I think thats whats made the league lopsided is that there are only a few teams that are giving the full 5 minutes per day and those teams are winning while the 2-3 min per dayers are getting dusted and its hurting their feelings that they cant give their lazy 2-3 min per day and be competitive. SO lets make it to where you put your guys on auto, look at it just enough to make sure there are no injuries and that you make your draft picks and thats it. YAWN

 

[doh]

Yep. I believe one of the top-20 players was an indy-league guy.

Interesting... Although Calhau is not an Indy guy. He's a pro IFA-- so theoretically he was playing in Japan or something and came over. The Pro IFA's are almost all ready-made WBL players.

 

[Yankee151]

I don't care what we do as long as @bruin @bruin228, as well as the Orlando, Radpants, OU pipeline don't quit. So whatever ruling leads to them not quitting.

[hayvis]

Wat was his vote?

I changed my vote. Will change again for picks/players/cash.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

We’re trying to fix a broken league

That's what I meant. They signed their first contracts during the normal FA period, not August or whenever we get those others.

 

[hayvis]

Just to reiterate. @Karl Hungus - Should I post this in the trade wars thread or is it ok here?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

It’s past the trade deadline

 

[Orlando]

Fix one thing. Break another. As the WBL turns.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

What are we breaking besides the Swede pipeline? Karl simmed 20 years into the future, albeit without ADD drugs like @OU11 would have used.

 

[Orlando]

Players only coming from one source

 

[Orlando]

I mean are we really counting votes from kella, Irishman and NML?

Yeah... I mean don't we want MORE sources of players? If you're rebuilding, don't you want MORE ways to get better?

This is part of why I was against the new system of IFA. It doesn't allow an owner who says "F my payroll, I'm rebuilding" to spend $50-80m in IFA and have a $20m payroll for his WBL team.

 

[hayvis]

So instead of trying something new, shall we just go back to the way it used to be? Nothing more fun than walking in the same small circle over and over again until we die. Has anyone got any sandpaper I can borrow? I want to file my face down before we start the new season.

 

[hayvis]

I mean I don't know what I expected when i joined a group of text simulation baseball fans who had already been doing the same thing for 5 years?

 

[Karl Hungus]

No IFA actually WOULD be different. I'm against going to a draft-only system, though.

 

[Orlando]

What sim did you run @Karl Hungus? Deleting feeders and IFA? Did we try just deleting IFA?

 

[doh]

I mean I don't know what I expected when i joined a group of text simulation baseball fans who had already been doing the same thing for 5 years?

We tried the hard cap 5.5 mil per team. It sucks.

1 owner of the 13-14 we have wanted to keep it.

point being: we changed something and it was awful.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

People have changed/added votes obviously, Abolish IFA was the winner before testing

 

[Orlando]

So just move forward with what you think you saw at one point? I mean it’s obviously close. We should have an official vote and everyone owner should have to vote.

 

[Yankee151]

All this talk of voting and recounts and we're forgetting we have a former WBL owner who is an expert in the field, @Lloyd Carr

 

[fignuts]

 

[jdlikewhoa]

So it’s settled. Get rid of feeders and go back to old IFA.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

you can’t be srs

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Taking out 3 non owners and doubling the legacy owners votes, going back to the old system WINS!!

 

[Orlando]

Same to you ‘ol chap

 

[kella]

A vote is a vote hermano

 

[fignuts]

 

[hayvis]

I mean, I think the only fair way of settling this is some kind of online Street Fighter/ Mortal Combat tournament where the winner decides.

I deleted feeders & IFA. Once I found out that I couldn't turn off injuries in the feeders I was sold on getting rid of them. I agree with Doh- feeder league injuries are a huge problem in player development.

 

[Orlando]

Do players in the draft class not have injury histories?

 

[Karl Hungus]

Do players in the draft class not have injury histories?

I'm looking at the 2098 draft class- so far out of the top 20 pitches, 19 have an injury proneness of "normal" and one is "durable." No one has any injuries in their history.

@OU11 There's a Danish shortstop who went to Oral Roberts, lol
