Looking for Competitve, Straight-Forward, Non-Scouting League

Nutlaw · 08-12-2007, 01:40 PM

I'm really enjoying my current on-line league, but it's not keeping me busy enough and I'd like to branch out into a second one. The problem is that if I join a league, I want to be able to devote some real effort into it. As such, I'm probably being extraordinarily picky about finding a league. There are clearly a lot of great leagues out there, but maybe not so many that fit my preferences.

Ideally, I'd want a league with:

No scouting. I can't budge on this one.
Fictional players. MLB leagues end up looking 'wrong' after a little while.
Minimal out of game rule clutter. I want to play OOTP, not a convoluted hybrid that forces me to play important parts of the game through forums. (Aside from trading, of course)
A serious theme.
A smaller group of very active GMs who are friendly, competitive, and active in league discussion. This is very important, as it is where half of the fun of a league comes from. I don't want a league/universe so large that you can't keep track of it.
Preferably leagues that retain some sort of roster management strategy. Waivers, Rule 5 draft, and either a salary cap or planned/controlled finances.

Again, I'm being extremely picky, but I figured that I'd post it up here and see if something looks like a good match. I can stay on a waiting list if need be, but if a spot opens up in another league that fits what I'm looking for, I'd rather be playing than not.

Only v2007 leagues, or are v6.5 leagues a possibility?

Nutlaw · 08-12-2007, 03:34 PM

V2007, please, though thanks for asking. I've spent enough time working on the current version that I'd like to enjoy it.

We meet your requirements except point 2 ... we are MLB based on 2006 roster set now about to start 2009 so becoming fictional.

HOU, CIN, TBD and TEX are open for 2009.

Let me know if you are interested branchrickeyxxxx@westnet.com.au
