Gauging Interest: 1980s Quickstart

phillosopherp · 11-08-2008, 12:01 AM

I am planning on making a 1980 quick-start with all the minors fleshed from the Sabr site. Of course there are going to have to be a couple of changes so that each team has one team at each level for a MP league. I will be using Spritze's DB so that everyone comes in when they were drafted not when they made their Majors debut. I plan on using a slightly modified Talent randomness and age/development ratings. I am wondering if there would be enough interest in this league to make it a online deal. If so I will get a site up for it and everything.

So if you are interested please post here and let me know. If I can get enough interest I will get everything up very quickly.

Yes, I am very interested.

I love the 80's.
I would be interested in running the Yanks or Tigers.

I would be interested, however in January I would need a leave of absence for two months as I'd be in San Antonio Texas for Basic Training....but besides that I am interested. Be the San Francisco Giants

phillosopherp · 11-12-2008, 10:11 PM

Cool now that I am seeing some interest I will start heavily looking for a housing site. I have run into a bit of an issue in that I thought the DB that I was using would put players on the right team but it won't so I am going to have to fix guys on the right teams. I will keep everyone appraised of the situation.

More news soon.

rem · 11-12-2008, 10:27 PM

I'd probably be interested in the Orioles.

progen · 11-13-2008, 09:25 AM

I would be interested in taking over the Phillies.

JoeRockHead · 11-14-2008, 04:47 PM

See give it time, people are interested!

rem · 12-07-2008, 04:51 PM

Where do we stand?

phillosopherp · 12-07-2008, 05:32 PM

I have been running some test leagues and still have a few kinks to iron out. Plus I am trying to figure out how to edit players in the DB and also change the teams that players appear on. Also some issues with the minors I have to get rid of a couple of teams that were unaffiliated in 1980. But don't worry I have not forgotten.

I would be interested in being involved - possibly as the A's if they are available

gollum65 · 12-08-2008, 06:28 AM

I'd be interested in the Yankees, or if they're taken then I'd like the Mets.

JetsFanNY · 12-08-2008, 07:18 AM

I would also be interested in any team.
