Hey, Zev! I’ve still not been able to get into the League Message Boards. ---

Zev, is it possible that you only simmed 1 week? ---

Zev, I can’t remember my password on the message board. 🙂 BTW: John Smith! If that is his real name! Three homers!!! Woo hoo! Kingston’s catching up. ---

I’m game. I sort of like the 1 week every 2-3 days thing. But I’m really treating the first year as an experiment to figure out how the game works. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jonathan Chance \* > \*\*But makes Zev do more work. > > 😃 \*\* Agreed. That’s the only reason I haven’t given a hearty “let’s do it!” yet. I can’t promise at this point that I can do a twice-a-week sim, but I’ll look into it. Zev Steinhardt ---

For what it’s worth, I think doing two weeks of baseball every week is sufficient. Zev’s doing enough for us and reviewing our teams every two weeks should be sufficient. ---

Yeah, don’t get me wrong. I would prefer shorter intervals. But Zev has to determine what he wants to do. All hall Zev! ---

I’d vote for two sims a week, or just one week of game-time during a sim. But, I ain’t the one running the league, so it’s your call, Zev. ---

Something about sweeping out the broadcasters wing of the Hall of Fame, I think. Maybe right after the induction ceremony. You know how those journalists get. ---

I’ve spent the last three virtual months just seeing how the program works and how it handles players and such. Now I’ve just got done spending 2 hours screwing around with and making changes. Zev, thanks again. I can’t tell you how much fun this is. ---

Heh. You better like the look of the FA market, then. In my solitaire game, every time I made a player mad I got him for way cheaper in the offseason (my franchise player, my star left fielder, was making about $8.5, I was offering him about $13 for 5 and he was saying no, I signed him as an FA for $10.5 for 6). The same may not hold true when you’re dealing with unpredictable human-type opposing managers. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ootp-baseball-league-anyone/139117.md?page=5)
