December 17, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 12:19 AM) Soxtalk is gonna love us posting here all the time lol. Ha. If they just sticky this thread, then it will be at the top no matter what! But yeah, I anticipate this thread being hella busy assuming we can get a steady crew, and go for 10-20-30, even 40+ seasons like at SSS.

December 17, 201213 yr Author Alright, I sent GoGoSox2k2 a message with league info. I just realized I can probably just go ahead and make multiple dummy accounts to get us to 10, since the email I use could be completely fake.
December 17, 201213 yr Author Alright, 2 dummy accounts are in and controlling HOU and FLA. So we just have to lay off trading with them until we can get 2 more people in the league. It is still not allowing for trades or FA to be signed, but I think that's because the first SIM just STARTS the league or something, so as of 3 AM EST, the league will sim and then I think everything should be open to do. So that means the FIRST 10 DAYS OF THE SEASON will sim at 3 PM EST tomorrow afternoon. EDIT: HUZZAH!! I figured out I could change the sim to "every hour, for 24 hours". So the game will actually sim at 2 am EST, which means 30 minutes from now the game should be completely open. Then once it sims, I will change it back to 3 am/3 pm, and set the first sim for tomorrow at 3pm. Edited December 17, 201213 yr by JoeCoolMan24
December 17, 201213 yr Author Oh, and please, nobody sign Tim Raines off the FA list. No idea why he is on there, but he was given a 99 potential.....lol. He is listed as a 61++++(99). Some CPU will sign him, oh well. I didn't see any other weird players in the FA pool, so it should be good.
December 17, 201213 yr Author Got another member. Infallable, he's from another sports forum I am on. He will probably sign up for Soxtalk here tomorrow or something, but has been reading along in this thread. He has chosen Baltimore (Pittsburgh). TEAM LIST JoeCoolMan24 - White Sox (Giants) ROC Sox Fan - Blue Jays (Brewers) 2nd City Saint - Twins (Cardinals) Issacar - Rays (Phillies) Juddling - Angels (Braves) Soxfest - Yankees (Dodgers) Bigruss - Rangers (Reds) GoGoSox2k2 - Royals (????) Infallable - Orioles (Pirates)
December 17, 201213 yr Author Alright, Infallable is signed up and in the league, so I booted my Houston dummy account. FLA is now the only team with a dummy owner. If we can get 1 more member to join soon, that would be awesome. 5 minutes from the 1st sim, hope this works! Edited December 17, 201213 yr by JoeCoolMan24
December 17, 201213 yr Author League is live! Yay! Feel free to make trades and sign FA now. First sim of REGULAR SEASON will be tomorrow at 3 pm EST, and first time Free Agents will react to offers.
December 17, 201213 yr Author I set league revenue to +100%, simply so teams would have enough money to sign Free Agents. I will change it back to +20% later after everyone gets a chance to sign guys.
December 17, 201213 yr Author Ok, so because the season has technically "started", you can just sign Free Agents at the price they are asking. You don't have to put in offers. If this was the offseason, you would bid for them, but since the season is started, you can sign freely. I will try not to run the FA market dry before everyone else logs on, but I will be picking up a couple guys to fill my team.
December 17, 201213 yr Author SFG were looking for established RP and 3B. The Chicago White Sox offer Chris Getz 2B-25 (74+) Mike MacDougal RP-32 (79) to the San Francisco Giants for Sergio Romo RP-26 (76+)
December 17, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 02:34 AM) uhhh it says all the free agents are no longer available... It's probably because your payroll is higher than the LIMIT it sets. Right?
December 17, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 02:43 AM) Payroll: $77.9M Budget: $87.6M Limit: $91.6M Hmmmmmm.....That's really weird. So when you click the FREE AGENTS list on the left side, it won't let you sign any? I have no idea why that would be, but if you want, you can PM me the list of players you want, and at what amount of years, and I can sign them and place them on your team.
December 17, 201213 yr Author This was a pain-in-the-ass deal. They kept asking for "throw in some young talent" and then "just a little more cash".....jerks. The Chicago White Sox offer Josh Fields 3B-26 (73++) Tyler Kuhn SS-22 (71+) Ehren Wassermann RP-28 (75) $2,000,000 to the San Francisco Giants for Marcus Sanders 2B-23 (71+++)
December 17, 201213 yr Author For some reason the league simmed again. I wonder if maybe because you can't change the sim times within an hour of the next sim? Not really sure, but it's now April 12th. Sorry about that, guys. Oh well, it only was about 6-7 games. It says the next simulation is in 12 hours, so it should be good now, I hope.
December 17, 201213 yr Author Infallable is having problems signing FA too, and he thinks it may be a Firefox issue. Are you also using FireFox, 2nd city? I myself use Chrome, so maybe that's why I've never had any issues.
December 17, 201213 yr Author Sex. The Chicago White Sox offer Mike Rouse IF-28 (75+) Josh Kroeger RF-26 (77+) Jon Link RP-25 (71+) to the Boston Red Sox for Stolmy Pimentel SP-19 (64++++)
