I still don't know how to use AAA players (or finish above 0.500), so I'm out.Anybody want to be commissioner? I had Gary Bettman all lined up but then they went and settled.

True, but maybe just once I should bypass Ranger Shtick and actually try to win one of these things.Oh, there are ways around this, Bogey.For the record, out as commissioner, not the league.

I was referring to drafting guys that were Rangers at some point in their career by using them from seasons with other teams, but trying to win works too.True, but maybe just once I should bypass Ranger Shtick and actually try to win one of these things.Oh, there are ways around this, Bogey.For the record, out as commissioner, not the league.

I think limiting the pool to full seasons makes sense in this format, e.g. Hanley Ramirez shouldn't be available to be picked as a Dodger.DH? I assume no DH is standard FBG but in this case, it wouldn't hurt...
EDIT> I believe WIS also has entries for the Anaheim Angels
EDIT2> I assume full/combined seasons only (no partials) as is also FBG custom?
No DH has been the standard. I can go either way. Now is the time for the house to chime in on this.DH? I assume no DH is standard FBG but in this case, it wouldn't hurt...
That's post-1992, though.EDIT> I believe WIS also has entries for the Anaheim Angels
Correct. Will fix rules above.EDIT2> I assume full/combined seasons only (no partials) as is also FBG custom?
No DHFull/CombinedThe way we have always done it.OK, need some opinions on:a) To DH or not to DH?b) To use ONLY full seasons, and no combined partials?
a) indifferentb) prefer to keep simple, and allow both full & combined. a quick perusal of the database suggests to me that it won't really matter.OK, need some opinions on:a) To DH or not to DH?b) To use ONLY full seasons, and no combined partials?
btw, i'm calling that 25th hybrid franchise the Blue Mariners
Since the Mariners have been a mockery for much of their existence, how about we call them the Mockingjays? (yes, the bird from Hunger Games).btw, i'm calling that 25th hybrid franchise the Blue Marinerseta: or maybe Marinjays
If someone wants to take Hanley as a Dodger they should be able to.

And even though it's probably sacrilegious for me to say this, but I wouldn't mind the DH this time around.

We did it in WIS VI ($100 M salary cap league). Think that was it.And even though it's probably sacrilegious for me to say this, but I wouldn't mind the DH this time around. Have we ever gone DH in one of these before?
I skimmed the draft pool and there aren't many combined seasons that are likely to come into play. If the object of this sim is to draft players representing a franchise, it seems fair that the stats were compiled in that team's uniform for the full season, not just two months. It's just as easy to set draft center for full as full/combined.If someone wants to take Hanley as a Dodger they should be able to.

1) Roll a 1000-sided dice, or 10 100-sided dice, or equivalent
2) Tabulate the result as a single number (e.g. "734", not "89-67-44-3-20-22-56-90-12-81")
3) Send the results to two e-mail addresses (both wisruthroll.com and the roller's address)
We've typically used one of RPGLibrary or Irony in the past. If those are really the only options, I'll need someone to monitor the dice rolls for me -- and also to roll my dice.
***
In case anyone jumps the gun with their dice roll -- largest number rolled drafts first, smallest number rolled drafts twenty-fourth (e.g. 987 probably gets the first pick, 43 likely gets the last pick). All other rolls are ordered from greatest to least.
Correct.Just to confirm: If someone drafts Rickey Henderson as a Yankee, they can't take one of his years with the A's, correct?
Edit: I don't know of any other dice roller. BTW, we had some issues in the hoops league with people rolling at RPG and using certain email providers...not sure why.Correct.Just to confirm: If someone drafts Rickey Henderson as a Yankee, they can't take one of his years with the A's, correct?
I looked at several that I could get to here at work. Couldn't even find another one that e-mailed results ... much less another 1000-sided die (or 10x100).Edit: I don't know of any other dice roller.

You have to roll diceDo we have to declare team when we draft a guy or can we waffle?
How that seemed like a good idea when we did it I have no idea, fun looking back at least.You have to roll diceDo we have to declare team when we draft a guy or can we waffle?
I almost dd the same thing, caught myself right before clicking.I think that's happened so many times it's written into the imaginary rules to just count the first roll.I accidentally rolled 7 times, , first roll was 425. Just use that. If I need to re-roll, just let me know.
I guess once you draft a player, no one else can draft him, so it doesn't really matter. If you drafted oh I don't know, Scott Fletcher and said the Rangers, then later changed it to Chicago (Cubs or White Sox), so you would open up your Ranger slot to take Don Slaught, that would be acceptable.Do we have to declare team when we draft a guy or can we waffle?
I'm biased because I won the WS in that sim but I still think it was a good concept. It was educational to see how few players in history put up six elite seasons e.g. Keith Foulke. It also simulated how even the best players sometimes had off years. I've managed to recreate the latter effect in my Back to the Future teams.How that seemed like a good idea when we did it I have no idea, fun looking back at least.You have to roll diceDo we have to declare team when we draft a guy or can we waffle?
