      More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

          Another idea:
          We take a single mlb year from history and do a league with weekly moves. But we don't use all the weeks (maybe 20/26), and each week is selected at random. We run one week per day.
          Example - 1976. Day one - week 13 comes up in the randomizer - all your active starters get that week's stats. Each team makes any desired roster moves. Day 2 - week 8 is selected, etc. No week can hit twice.

          So we would need to download every game for a season, assign them weeks, and calc the aggregates.

          If you pick a player that was great when they played, but missed a couple months, you stand a chance to get 0 stats if you activate them. And they will likely become more/less valuable as the weeks are selected.

              Doing a Korean or Japanese league also sounds fun

                    I need to broaden my YouTube horizons. I pretty much just watch heavy metal and punk songs and shows. My newest thing is watching reaction videos of other people watching those same videos.

                        I pretty much only watch Youtube and Twitch ... I can suggest some pretty good leftfield Youtube channels.

                          So while I was eating my birthday dinner last night I was regretting how quiet it was. I miss restaurants. I could have put music on, probably should have, and talking to rjel girl is always nice, but I miss the ambient noise. I started thinking about a virtual restaurant channel. People could video in and eat with other people. I thought I would be on, but that would only be for an hour or so a day, and it would be nice if it was open 24 hours for anyone. Twitch isn't the right platform for that right? Thats for people to watch your screen mostly... is there a good platform for this kind of open streaming channel?

                            If anyone has a way to confirm that mjl isn't participating in VD14, then we can get started.

                              I sent him a PM and haven't heard back, so I would assume no.

                                I was PM'ing him last week, so he is around ... we can always keep open late entrants until the end of Round 1.

                                The current 13 participants would make my life very easy ... we had 13 in VD13 also.
