My ideas for the player to name the league after are Lefty O'Doul and Lyle Overbay. Because, lol gameside can literally be LOL gameside.

And all would be right with the world.

ilwaukee Twins - Al Lopez League

incinnati Team Venture - Babe Ruth League

olorado Jimmy Walers - Oscar Gamble League

innesota North Stars - Andy Messersmith League

i'd be interested in a new league. salary cap would be great. more injuries is fine. i don't agree with tim and face on system 3 but i'm fine with the usual 20 cp system. if we do themes i have no problem with ABE generated names, although i think it's a bit of a cop out. (my guess is that face just isn't real interested in running a theme but would like to take part in the league, which is ok with me.)

Yes, I don't think we should make players run a theme anymore, it is just encouraged.

Larry Bigbee doesn't make it be LOL.

People will have a much better shot at knowing what they're getting into when the letters of the league spell out lol.

yes, for whatever reason, renaming players is a chore and a bore with me. I'm not sure what I'm copping out of, creativity I suppose, but it could just be that mandating themes is old, just like the gameside in the OGL was.

i'm not trying to be critical of you. i'd just prefer that you say 'i don't want to have to have a theme' rather than 'i would like my theme to be whatever name ABE gives my players'. but i recognize that's a completely semantic argument and since i don't really care (so long as it's clear up front what your stance is) i don't wish to make a thing out of it.

OK, thank you for the clarification. I didn't want to make a thing either, for sure. I thought when I joined the USL and OGL that all previously taken themes were off limits, and the things I would care enough about / know enough about were covered in some way or another, in other themes. That and I'm lazy, I make no excuse for that.

also, we are talking about a new league (with Big Overbay or something title) - but completely new, starting in '50, no history, etc. right?

i never really saw the point in not allowing overlapping themes. as long as people aren't naming players the same thing i don't see why someone couldn't have, say civil war figures and someone else generals. sure they'll be some overlap and only one of them could use robert e lee but there's lots of room for both. anyway, since the theme encouraged but not required idea seems a good one, it's a moot point.
