  2. Premium Retro League 3

    :scorn:We are trying to crawl across the finish line.

    76% complete.


    Think at season's end, we need to re-confirm what coaches are committed.  Also, I have always been an advocate for a week "off" between seasons (after draft or after final's games).  Give people a chance to catch there breath. (Not all of us need it, but some do, I think.  I know I want to delay playing personally until Chaos has stats site up.)  

    Just thinking out loud. :)

    The more balls you have in the basket the better the chance you get the #1 pick.

    $0 = 0 Balls (no chance to be #1, probably last or near the bottom with other tight wad teams)

    Love it!  

    I certainly do not have a problem pitching in for Chaos.  How will it be done? We all live so far apart?

    Ok, I don't 100% understand it all yet, so a re-read is in order, but!

    1. I like how you keep mixing things up! (This league will never go stale!), and
    2. I like that I get 2 keepers!!! Woohoo! 

    Also, more than happy to throw $20 towards Chaos, in whatever fashion that works?

    One question regarding the randomly determined first round.  That round is random for everyone, including Atomic, right?
    Edit: On re-read I see the answer clearly indicated above: "2. All 11 teams will be eligible for the first pick."

    You know, I have never taken note of the music.  Or the crowd.  On a rare occasion, if a noteworthy goal was scored, I will try and do the "pause / up and down / nice play / flick" thingy, thinking I was being respectful.  It makes me cringe to think every time I may have been doing this, instead of it being received as a goodwill gesture, it was received as an a**hole move.  Ugggh.

    I rarely did it.  As noteworthy plays rarely occurred.  But knowing it may be having the reverse effect means I am going to do away with it completely.

    ^^^ There you go, Coach, a concession.  Now change those numbers back! :P

    The number thing and what you associate is comical at best.  
    All those brains and you can't associate a number with more than 1 guy?

    Are you replying to me directly?  I never said I have any brains.  I am saying I have so little brains in fact I cannot disconnect 77 from Bourque and 22 from Dino.  Very little brains is my problem here, not too much of them. :P

    That aside, I can't be one of the guys that has wrankled you during play because we haven't played yet. When we do play, I will keep in mind your little pet peeves here, and respect them.

    #1 Don't stop my music!

    I am not sure what you mean by this? Do you think people are deliberately stopping the music?  

    What if someone is doing the quick "Nice play" flick, where they go to edit screen and quickly flick it up and down and up before returning?

    #2 Don't complain about lag when I win and say nothing when you do.  

    Is a comment on lag automatically complaining?  Sometimes it is laggier than other times.  If there are multiple games occurring, a lag comment seems appropriate because maybe something can be tweaked going forward?

    #3 Let me see my splash screens and player cards on the start up screen.

    Er, how long is a suitable time frame here? :P

    #4 Don't complain that you didn't know who my line-up was. 

    This is the real reason I am replying here.  This is a legit difference of opinion.

    I always thought the rule of thumb was "the player most associated with that number keeps it", for the sake of fair play.  Of course Bourque should be 77, and Dino should be 22.  Even if I looked at your lineup to acquaint myself with the strange # changes, thousands of hours of wiring my brain by playing traditional NHL94 will not be swayed by some strange new numbering.  It is simply not possible.

    On this point, I really do feel that the player most associated with that number keeps it. (I know it is your league, your ROM, your rules, but I am just expressing my opinion.) :)

    #5 Save your excuses when you lose.  

    Really curious who the whiner is here? (I know you will never tell.) 

    All that aside, I love the league and appreciate your work, Coach. :)

    Thanks Jer_33 for Toronto offer.  I may not play, so you can have them.  :)

    Not sure if I will have time to play, so I will hold off and see how things develop with signups, my family life,  as well as Coach's league.  Am I allowed to say "maybe"?  (I do appreciate Brutus stepping up, just see busy times ahead for me, personally.)

    Also wanted to mention that people can always use this easy link:

    http://nhl94.com/events

    To see what online and live events are happening at any given time.  I added this thread with league info to that page. :)

  21. Fightcade 2, promises Genesis support

    this looks really promising. I have a fightcade account that works on fightcade2, but my connection is far from good enough to be the community tester lol. 

    Fightcade is suchhhhh a good program. Even if you cant make savestates and lose out on stats, just having an emulator that runs nhl 94 smoothly and is super user friendly could be just what we need.

    Perhaps you would consider sharing your login credentials with a member here you trust? (One who does have a good connection?)

    Maybe we need two people, though?

  23. Uber is Awesome

    in King of '94

    Posted · Edited by aqualizard
    typos

    Geeze Smozoma, I read the second article, and of the "5 Reasons to Delete Uber" from your phone, only one seems legit to me.  A couple even seem the reverse; they are points for Uber. 

    Uber is like Google/Youtube to me: a mega company that puts profits first, but is an amazing service that provides incredible benefit to me.  Some places don't have Goolge/Youtube, and some places don't have Uber, but I bet the vast majority of people that are cut off wish they did!  Uber is sooooo much better than taxis, which is their real competition.  They are like Taxis 2.0; what Taxis *should have been*, if they adapted to the times.

    I don't like hearing that at Uber Head Office sexist slimeballs run the show (among other ethical issues), but that puts them in the same category as 99.9% of other businesses that get big. (Maybe even 100%.)

  24. Uber is Awesome

    in King of '94

    Posted

    There are a few mentions of taxis and public transport in different cities where events are held.  I am a new convert to Uber, and it is awesome.  When I was in Vegas, it cost me $15 to get from my hotel to the airport.  A shuttle cost $11, and you had to wait around and deal with other travelers.  The Uber was worth the small extra expense.

    However, I just learned here in Toronto that Uber has a variable rate, depending on supply and demand.  So if there are few people looking, and many Ubers available, it is super cheap.  But if the reverse is true, it can be as expensive or even  more expensive than a taxi!  I did not know this.  An Uber driver here in Toronto explained it to me.  He said it was very rare, but on occasion it can be similar in price to a taxi.

    That said, I still would take Uber.  It is so much more handy being able to track everything on your phone.  And not have to worry about paying in cash, either.

    Posted · Edited by aqualizard

    Lol no problem, people!  I am not trying to rig the system here.  There is a very strong chance I will NOT be in the finals, and not have to do a 100% rebuild.

    Just wanted to mention an idea, or get a dialogue going for other ideas... Coach seems very open to ideas that benefit the league as a whole. (I thought I had a good one, but I guess I came up with a stinker. :P) 

    PS: Sorry I misrepresented your keeper situation, Jer_33.  Honest mistake.  :)
