Alternate History Sports / Potential return of Solar League Baseball?

**Posted by QCS** 7/31/2020 10:24 pm

Oh my God, it's RR9! I got a rush of nostalgia remembering SLB, I would be honored to talk with you. If I remember correctly, I was a PUA Emperors fan, but several other teams were quite nice, but I can't remember them. You're actually the one that exposed me to OOTP, so I have to thank you for basically pointing me down the Alt Sports path!

This may be a bit preemptive of me to say, but I'd be more than willing to not just brainstorm but design things if you want me too. I wouldn't say I've reached your level yet, but I'm no slouch and I'd love to work on what was easily my favorite SFF from CCSLC.

Can't wait man! Glad to have you back around. I think starting near or after where you left off is a cool idea because then you already such a deep history to draw from.

Thanks for the kind words! It's always good seeing you around too. I love what you've done with the place! I just wish I could have done more.

And yes, that is the plan. I will be starting around 75 years into the league, although it will be a "different" history than what you saw in the original SLB thread, but mostly the same. I.e. expansion teams enter at certain same times, etc. I don't exactly have the OOTP 18 files from back then. I will be doing this in OOTP 21 this time around.

I hope this starts in 2550 (the season after the last one), not back in 2500...

Also, I, like Dan O'Mac, am willing to collaborate as well. I mostly want to help out with facility design (stadiums, the Hall of Fame building, etc.) and dissemination of historical info from the last 50 years of SLB (ex: retired numbers, Hall of Fame plaques, and the like).

Good to see you again, RR9!

If you could help me with facility design, that would be INCREDIBLE! I have a few ideas here and there but sometimes a certain team I can just get stuck on the stadium design

I'll send you a PM this weekend.

I’m willing to collaborate as well.

I can give you team names and design thoughts.

I'm going to be PM'ing a couple of you guys for some stadium ideas! After talking with a few of you guys, I think I already have a solid case for a few expansion teams that I want to start out with. But I need stadium ideas!

Stay tuned, or feel free to drop some in here if you have an unsolicited idea for random locations that I could "mold" into one of my existing teams.
