doctor bananas Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hey all, I will be starting a new dynasty about... you guessed it, the Seattle Mariners! And... right again, the quest for their first (appearance in the) World Series! I had one other dynasty a long time ago about the Braves (South Side Story, under the name dutchxperienz) but, due to technical difficulties, I was forced to end it. Now, after a long absence, I have decided to make my comeback (;P), this time under the name of "Doctor Bananas". I decided to choose the Seattle Mariners for a number of reasons, the biggest of which being that I think they are a great franchise that, with some proper management (in-game and in real life), could achieve great things. Despite losing Raul Ibañez to free agency, they still have some great players, such as Junior and Ichiro. They're also have ace pitchers like King Felix and Bedard. Anyways, I hope you guys will enjoy this dynasty! TBH I am not quite sure how I will go about presenting it; if I will do per-game or per-series-recaps. And if you guys have any advice on presentation, trades or whatever, I would love to hear it! Enjoy.

doctor bananas Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 hey, does anyone have any advice on how to sort of export the standings from the game? because right now i have to write them all down individually and then type them in in photoshop. this is probably the most time-consuming part of the process and i would really like to cut down on how long it takes. any advice/ help is much appreciated! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor bananas Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 update: i've decided to do series recaps instead of game recaps as it just takes too much time to write an article and edit all the standings after each game. so on that note, here is a recap of the series vs. the oakland a's. next stop: seattle for the home opener!
