WIS: Quarantine Edition? (1 Viewer)

[RnR]

This is my new favorite thing that Doug B has been dishing out in the FFA COVID thread. Thinking about using it in real life interactions, and definitely using it during this draft.

Cards on the table:

 

[Eephus]

It's not a joke, cards on the table time.  I could have phoned I could spoke but how to break the news without breaking your heart

1.  1977-93 or longer time period with "no awards" filter?

2.  Dice or no dice?

2a.  Would dice be a dealbreaker for you?

2. I'm good either way.

3. Of course not.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Would take two teams if needed.  Giddyup

 

[RnR]

Anyone know of Dr. D's whereabouts? We know he'd be in.

@Super Nintendo Chalmers quit lurking and jump back in. The water is fine.

[Koya]

The older, more mellowed Koya is fine with whatever the consensus is.

Confident in my legacy(tm).

2a.  Would dice be a dealbreaker for you?

1. 77-93, but fine with either

2. Either

2a. No

 

[Dungeon Master]

I'm in for whatever you nerds choose.

@Capella in yet?

 

[Spartans Rule]

One thing we could do is do one communal dice roll at the end of each round so if a two was rolled, everyone would get the second best season for the player they drafted that round.

I like this idea in theory, but the tricky part is how to rank seasons. WIS salary doesn't always work well because it's so PA/IP based. Letting people do it themselves could lead to nerd meltdowns when the communal roll is worst season and someone stuck a guy's best year there.

Wouldn't that just add to the randomness?  Seems like the whole idea to me.

 

[RnR]

Let's get @MAC_32 in on one of these. He seems nerdy enough to hang.

@jamny join us

1. 77-93 or longer ... all good. Like the "no awards" filter idea a lot.

2. Take it or leave it

3. Not a dealbreaker

I have no idea what this is, but I am definitely a nerd and my list of magic beisubol drafts and auctions are running out.

The default ranking will be the top three seasons of the drafted player by WIS salary.  If somebody wants to substitute another eligible season for one of the three, they need to specify that before the dice roll.

I don't think this will be a frequent occurrence based on my foggy recollection of the Dice Wars league, although there's a big difference between three and six usable seasons.

For a decade or more we did these era-based drafts and played them out on the WhatIfSports simulation platform. Now that we're all stuck at home, we're trying again for the first time in ~5 years.

Basic parameters: 25-round draft to make your roster, then we load it all up into a 24-team league on WIS and it plays out a 162-game season + playoffs. The sim engine simulates three games a day (one in the morning, afternoon and evening)... you're in full managerial control of setting lineups, alignments, strategy, etc. for your team and can update them at anytime between games. So it's a good 2+ months of entertainment.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but the nerds can help fill the gaps.

 

[Capella]

@Capella in yet?

Thanks, but this quarantine is depressing enough. 

 

[the moops]

Last time I did this (10+ years ago) I drafted players I thought were good and cool and other people were drafting guys who hit like .389 in 19 at-bats in 1977 in the first round. Is it still that way? I went like 32-130.

likely still that way

 

[oso diablo]

p.s. not sure i'm over the abandonment of the 2018 BTTF simulation. we just ignoring that now?

The draft center search options seem to be fixed now(ie can't be changed), looks like no more searching for + numbers

Switch the "search interface" option to Advanced.

ahh right, it's been to long

 

[Kraft...]

Going through my old google sheets, some names that aren't in yet

@Greco @Arsenal of Doom @avoiding injuries @TobiasFunke @Sammy3469 @Super Nintendo Chalmers

@Doctor Detroit texted as well

 

[Sammy3469]

Thanks nerds...you had me at hello...though you ruined my night since I didn’t know about SoCal  

 

[Kraft...]

The Doctor is in   he's out of pocket at the moment but should be back next week.

I’m just as hopeless in this format, but I’ve already researched so I’m committed now. 

 

[Kraft...]

Think we have @Greco on the hook too 

 

[Kraft...]

Thanks nerds...you had me at hello... 

Oh, You're Back (anyone else remember the @Nipsey WIS Commish Coup against @Capella ?)

Hell Yeah  

 

[Greco]

Dibs on ‘84 Tigers

 

[Capella]

Oh, You're Back (anyone else remember the @Nipsey WIS Commish Coup against @Capella ?)

Hell Yeah  

That thread was amazing 

 

[Bogart]

Don't really feel like doing any math for this. Just fun. Going full on shtick.

 

[Kraft...]

We should really have a Rabbit exemption in place for @Bogart allowing him to draft him no matter what Era we are choosing from.
