Thread: First sim: Monday, 2/11, 10 PM CST

    First sim: Monday, 2/11, 10 PM CST

    This is very likely to be moved around a little in terms of the actual time of sim, because of the sheer amount of changes I am likely to receive. Therefore, try to get your changes to me in before Monday night, which is part of the reason why I am setting a changes deadline of:

    8:00 PM CST (9 EST) on Monday.

    I'll be flying back into Chicago that night from New York, but I promise to get this sim up before 4 AM CST, which is usually when I go to sleep. The actual upload takes around 10 minutes for me, so it won't take long once it's done.

    Now for the major announcement:

    This will be a 25 game sim.

    Why? I want the current GMs to get a decent sense of what their team is capable of. Since injuries are low, I don't expect any teams to really be screwed by them. After this sim, chances are I'll go to somewhere between 10 and 20 game sims, with something like 20 early in the season, then down to 15 and down to 10 when it matters likely. Not sure yet, but be prepared for it.

    Good luck, and make sure your changes are sent in.

    Also, before anyone does anything, I implore you to read the rules/faq thread. It's basically mission's, but I have made a lot of little changes here and there, and added some things. Thanks!

    Don't you wanna fill all the teams first?

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I doubt they all will be, but getting going should help fill all the teams.

    It would be nice to have all the teams with GMs but oh well. I thought today was Monday actually because today is my first day back to my original job. Is this one live?

    I will try my best to get the sim up today. I have not entered all the lineups yet and I have 3 classes today with a midterm tomorrow, but I will do my best to get it up tonight.

    Don't expect anything before midnight or so though, because I might disappoint.

    Turns out I have another midterm on Wednesday. So that's 2 papers and 2 midterms within the next 4 days.

    I have entered roughly 5-6 teams' changes, but all the trades that were passed were entered. No promises, but will try for tonight.

    Again, 25 game sim.

    I still have Rocco Baldelli on my roster and no Aramis Ramirez.

    Or was this a typo that was meant to read "not all the trades...." with the rest of the post being the promise that it'd be done?

    And a reminder:

    Please use the format for lineups as described in the FAQ. Makes life easier on me.

    Also, don't send in DH/Non-DH lineups yet, because interleague play is far far away. If you're an NL team, send in non-DH lineups, and vice versa. If you have sent in non-DH lineups and are an AL team (flip it for NL), I will not enter them.
