  1. The first Gens Capitalism League went in the Summer.

    Some great stuff there...I'd probably go with a full season.

    Maybe for people that are taking a season off (like me, I suppose...not like I think I'll be coming back in fall), half of our players can be lost to the draft and the other half can go "on loan" for the season.

  2. Back to the OP: the clear favorite is GENS, for it's flow of play and general mechanics. However, SNES has a few things going for it (shaft explained them above).

    If GENS had a goalie button and defensive control (in short, used the six-button pad or SNES pad), this would be no contest, hands-down Genesis, we wouldn't even be talking about the SNES version. SNES doesn't have the flow or the graphical fluidity of the GENS version, and "the move" works at a higher rate than in the GENS version.

    They ARE different games though - you just need to try them both out to see which one you prefer.

  3. Beer League

    I've been working as a scorekeeper for "Adult" league games for a couple months, and we give out "Adult" beverage coupons.

    Locals know that the captain of Team Beer died on the ice while I was working - they also know of the game last night between the Icecocks and Beerhawks.

    Anyways, the point of this league would be to do the following:

    All players are zero'ed, with the crappiest stats available.

    10 min periods, even teams, etc etc

    No overtime

    Winner gets a beer.

  4. I have quit Classic league and Blitz league will be my final league to play in or manage, for the time being. I am reluctant to "retire" as so many others in the community have done, but it's time for me to move on. If I do return, it would be to run (and probably not play in) a revived Capitalism League in the summer or later, NHL 94 needs to be put on the back burner as I work on other projects.

    Thanks to all of you for the opportunity to play and the friendships that I have forged here ;)

  5. This isn't an attack, so nobody take it as such.

    Nobody died, but they did put me in charge of Classic for now.

    I never gave FPB any authority, nor did I say "if someone wants to help/run the thing, just do it." He could have (and still SHOULD) talk to me, I'm on AIM enough of the time and am more than willing to cede a portion of the Classic league to him.

    Gihtarman has offered his help to run the SNES side.

    Anyone, FPB included, may send me an AIM asking to help.

    It's spring, we started the registration about a month ago, and I think this is fine. For a league of this type and tradition, a long rego period isn't the worst thing ever...

  6. And I am not approving his concept.

    FPB I don't mean to be rude - stepping up to run the damn thing is a noble cause, especially when I have about as much NHL94 excitement as a pile of turds, but I outlined a system that is pretty much along the lines of what Halifax wanted to do last time.

    If anyone, including FPB, would like to run part or all of the league, please run it through me first. This is still on my to-do list, right after finding a job, getting health insurance, moving out of my parent's house and winning the Stanley Cup.

  7. Vetoed simply for the fact that OTL are even mentioned. I think I have this power and am using it.

    If FPB wants to run his own league using these guidelines nobody is stopping him, but classic is classic and at the very least needs to use the 2-1-0 point system.

    I know I've been lazy but it's justified: there have been people adding to the list all month. Some of the most successful classic leagues have had a LONG time to wait between making the lists and making the league.

    I'll run through the teams tonight and we will begin on April 1st.
