vcczar Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'm going to start a 2nd playtest in about a month to 6 weeks to 2 months. Anyone interested will play the part of a team owner from 1951-2023. It's mainly team management (drafting rookies, signing free agents, setting rosters). My goal is to make it so you only have to respond once a day to a spreadsheet tab and then I'll process all the moves. It will be an alternate NFL in the sense that you'll pick your team's city and mascot from a list. You can pick a 2nd franchise (expansion) or move your team. Players are historical. Let me know if you have any other questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Just retagging people to see if we can get to 10 commitments. We got 7 so far. I'll play as computer owners if we can't fill the game. If we get over 10 people then we will start with more than 10 teams.: @10centjimmy @Arkansas Progressive @Cal @ConservativeElector2 @DakotaHale @DJBillyShakes @Dobs @ebrk85 @Edouard @Hestia @Ich_bin_Tyler @jnewt @jvikings1 @mark2 @matthewyoung123 @Murrman104 @MrPotatoTed @NCblue1 @OrangeP47 @pilight @Pringles @Rezi @Sean F Kennedy @ShortKing @SilentLiberty @The Blood @Umbrella @vcczar @Willthescout7 @WVProgressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Not taking teams yet. I'm just showing you the options. Each location has a chance of a successful team bid, so you might not get the location that you want. Each location also has a chance of forced relocation if you lose 5 or more seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has about 90,000 more people than Cambridge and about 50,000 more than Springfield. It had a major league baseball team in the late 1800s and early 1900s and has minor league baseball and hockey teams today. I’m not aware of any sports teams that have played in Cambridge or Springfield in the big four sports, outside of some small independent or college showcase teams. Though Springfield was in the running to get the Red Sox Triple-A team, which Worcester ended up getting instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 I'm going to slowly start putting together the spreadsheet for NFL RP 2 when @matthewyoung123 gets back from vacation. I have no idea how long it's going to take me to get it ready. Some days I feel like I'll be done in 2 weeks, sometimes it feels like something will take me 2 months. I'm hoping to keep the current playtest going until 2023, but I think it is more likely that playtest will end before this one begins, although I won't start this new one until it is set and I've typed out rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
