    Sad League altering issue: Everybody please view and discuss (resolved)

    So, my cat broke my laptop that I run the game from and as such the league is now at an uncontrollable standstill.

    The good news is: I have save files on a portable hard drive that I can use on my newer laptop

    The bad news is: The latest save file is in the middle of the 2069 season and the game on the new laptop is mid-2071

    I had been using the old lapptop because OOTP runs incredibly slow on this new one for some reason. I can take over on the new one anyway and sims will just take a little longer, but it'd have to start over in the middle of 2071 (at 6/21)

    We can start there, or if everyone would rather restart at the beginning of a season then it'd have to be at the start of 2069 because I don't have anything between mid-2069 and the mid-2071 save I have on the new laptop. Conversely we can just start over entirely with a new league starting at 2005? I don't like that idea myself but would run with it if it was everyone's preference given the situation.

    In any case continuing from the current point of the league is not an option so please let me know what everyone wants to do. (other than hang my cat)

    If we start at the beginning of 2069 I still have draft class PM's for 2070 from Madsheep and 2072 from Bizkits, so I can honor those again as the seasons come back. I'm not sure what I did with my PM from hammer for 2071 so he'd maybe have to resend me that one.

    Dude, don't frame your cat because you smashed your laptop after watching Matt Kemp homer off the Padres again.

    J/K. I just find it funny that Mach finally wins the World Series again, only for his season to be deleted immediately after.

    Can you take the drive to a store that can do digital forensics? I can’t imagine how a cat can make a file unrecoverable. If you need help with cost, that can be discussed for sure. I would hate to lose this file after all the hard work towards finally rolling out a Lionheart, Costello, Gotti outfield in addition to Hull at 3b, all after taking the powerhouse but old Yanks to the edge in the AL. I think I’m gonna cry.

    can't you take out the HDD and put it in an external casing to access?

    Just going to throw it out there. I don’t hate the starting from 2005 idea. I have a good team now and my team would suck if we switched back, but I think it could be cool to gonna and have all the old players. Could get some additional gms as well.

    Maybe let the gms take one player from their current roster for those tied to what they have built. I’d rather start from the beginning than replay the past few years. Just me though.

    My team in 2069 was completely different than the team I have now. Much better farm, much worse major league roster.

    I guess I'd prefer starting at 2069, but either decision is fine with me.

    I don't know how to respond given how much work I put into easily the worst roster in 2.5 seasons. I don't want to start with a 2069 Arizona team after accruing actual talent, I mean this team was a total shit storm and now theres real hope here plus I finally acquired myself. That's extremely tough for me to sit through and try to do this all over again. I'm not ready to go back to Marvin Hinton being the best player on my team.

    But I don't want to start way over and lose our rich history. So I guess I'd take the lesser of two evils but I don't think I'll continue on with Arizona.

    1. start from the beginning
    2. start from 2071 on the new laptop
    3. start from 2069

    Like others have said, I have to think the files are still recoverable. This seems strange.

    I might explore trying to extract the hard drive in the laptop and seeing if I can still access the information...when I return from vacation in a couple weeks.

    But in the mean time we do have to discuss options going forward.

    Another idea, although it'd take a but ton of work for me, would be for me to sim to 2073, perhaps re-simming a few times so at least the WS winners are the same, and then I can edit basically the entire league to look as is. I'm not sure how keen I am on that one but I wouldn't rule it out either.

    Start it over if it comes to that, you've basically got the records and data for the MSL.

    Most of us wouldn't mind starting our own history, I've got no attachment to the MSL history.

    Re: League altering issue: Everybody please view and discuss

    The start over will be interesting, because it's like half and half now of me and the people who came in around that time, and the old timers like you (Leo), OM, and Kingdom.

    What's broken? Is it the screen? The computer itself?

    As much as I'd love to get my WS back, the forced sim idea doesn't appeal much to me.
