1977 will surely be Gordon's last season. His batting line at the age of 44 was .128 with 13 HR in 505 plate appearances and 444 at bats.

If there are 16 states, that would be an average of 5 teams per state. It would make the math really easy. Each state could then be its own division.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, then we'll have to tinker with his ratings, or something, because I want him and AG to play long enough to play with at least two of their successors for at least one season, if not more, for sure. And I want them to finish their careers together with GC pitching and AG catching in their respective last game or games as players, as well, if at all possible, jg2977. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Sixteen state-like divisions, then. All on one landmass or multiple landmasses? Any suggestions for state/province/whatever names? Please advise. Thank you. CD out.

If you look at EC's Islandia map, there are two islands. Once is Valdar Island and the other is Arvonian Island.

Valdar Island has 5 Ruthlandian Union cities - Kilkenny, Ancona, Ranford, Valmara and Taranto. That could be one division/state right there.

Arvonian Island has 4 Tycobbian Union cities - Summerland, Southport, Cape Coral and San Alejo. I'll add one more, Labadieville to make it 5. That's another division/state.

2 down, 14 to go. I'll do some research later and come up with some more state names.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Okay, fine, I can work with Arvonia and Valdar as state-type regions or something. Won't necessarily have them each as separate islands, probably, but I'll think of something for them both, somehow. CD out.

That's fine, whatever you want to do.

[jg2977]

Here’s another state name you can use - Del Boca Vista - preferably in a warm climate

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Sounds good. I'll make a list of states, and we'll go from there and all. Any city or town names, for instance, that you may want to suggest for cultural flavor are fine too. Once we have all the towns and cities placed on the relevant map or maps, then we can decide on the backstory of the places and countries in question for your version of the IPA, among other things we can decide on.

Once we add the new countries to your dynasty's world, as needed and as possible, then perhaps you might even be able to have players born in the various towns and cities of those countries. Right now, you have no native-born people in your IPA, you see. All the players in your IPA come from countries already present in that game's list of countries. So if you want a more local flavor for the various teams in your IPA, you will want to have some players born in the relevant countries for your dynasty, for sure. Especially as more time passes for you in your league here. jg2977.

Just some more things for you to perhaps well consider here, that's all. Let's see if EC would be willing to suggest more place names or historical details for your version of the IPA so that it can be more distinct from his IPA, for instance. I'm not sure whether he'd be willing to here, of course, but I hope he would be, just the same, of course. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I had an idea here to make your nations a bit more distinct from EC's, as far as area names, when it comes to your IPA and his. Let's make Arvonia Aarvonya, and Valdar Pholdahyr, if that's all right with you, jg2977. Okay? CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Have downloaded more graphics for certain IPA-related teams, EC and jg2977. Don't have all the needed graphics yet for every team, but I'll get them found and collected or made as soon as I can, I'm sure. Lord willing and all, of course, that is.

jg2977, I sent you a private message with certain proposed profile information for two second-generation Freemans you may want to consider for possible inclusion in your IPA, just so you know. Hope to hear back from you very soon regarding such, in any case, if at all possible.

Thank you for your time and attention and all here, then, EC and jg2977. Please take care and all, as best as you each can, I hope, of course. CD out.

Sure, that's fine.

Here are some new items you two may both want to consider for Sugar Valley's Rattlers, EC and jg2977. I haven't recolored the applicable logo yet, or found another potential logo to perhaps use for them, if I ultimately will, but at least I've done these items so far. Please let me know what you think of them, if and when you like and can, of course. Thank you.

The font in question here is Faulman Font, and the color-related information for these items is below:

f6d0b Desert Sand (246, 208, 177)
8661c1 Amethyst (134, 97, 193)
e7dfc6 Eggshell (231, 223 198)
4b5267 Independence (75, 82, 103)

I don't know if I'll make more items yet for Sugar Valley, in truth, but I might, if I find images I can include on them, et cetera. Just so you know, you two. That is all for now, then, I think. CD out.

I'll be glad to use those uniforms if you are able to recolor the current logo.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Tried that already, but my attempts to do so for the existing Sugar Valley Rattlers logo haven't yet worked for me well enough at all, if they eventually will, even in Paint3D. Perhaps you could request that someone try and change the colors on the existing logo to match the ones I used for the uniforms and caps, and maybe even somehow also throw in a complementing secondary logo. Or create brand-new logos to work with instead here. I still can't do logos, unfortunately, though, as you know, jg2977. CD out.

As EC said, if you can do caps and jerseys, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to learn how to make reasonably good logos too. Someday, perhaps you will. Maybe I can ask one of the really good logo makers here to do one for me, that shouldn't be too difficult a task for them.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You two may not actually use these items, of course, in your respective IPAs, at least, but in any case, I've made up some prospective items for the Kenwood Wildcats to perhaps use either now or sometime later in one or more dynasties, for sure. While they definitely may not be at least half as good, if even a quarter as good, as the items made quite some time ago by knuckler, if I remember correctly, for this team of EC's, of course at least I've tried making some items for them here.

The colors chosen were inspired by the historical color schemes for several Ohio-based teams, specifically the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cincinnati Reds. While they may not match certain color shades historically worn by the aforementioned teams either in the past or presently, if not both, they were definitely inspired by them all, at least in part, if not entirely.

The color-related information for this team is listed below, with a brief notation as to what team the choice of color was inspired by at least in part, if not entirely:

27669b Sapphire Blue (39, 102, 155) [Columbus Blue Jackets]
a2aaad Quick Silver (162, 170, 173) [Ohio State University]
d99f30 Satin Sheen Gold (185, 159, 48) [Cleveland Cavaliers]
d50032 Crimson (213, 0, 50) [Cincinnati Reds]
111111 Smoky Black (17, 17, 17) [Cincinnati Reds, less dark shade of black than normal?]

The font currently used by me on all of these Kenwood Wildcats-related items here is called Aurelis ADF No2 Std. I think these items look at least somewhat good, at least through my seeing of them all in either the Jersey or Ballcap Creator applications, if not both. But I still really don't know yet just how they'll each look in-game, once imported. I plan to find out shortly, if someone doesn't beat me to doing so here first, of course.

Talk more here sometime later as time permits and all, I'm quite sure. Lord willing and all, you know, folks. That's all for now, then, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I might try to do at least a few items apiece, if not more than a few, for the following existing or potentially renamed/restored team names, just so you know, folks. While they may not necessarily be what you might like and/or use, of course, I might still do items for at least these teams, whether currently existing for anyone or not, in any case, if not any other teams as well here soon:

Crystal Lake Skippers
Bayview Vikings
Arlon Champions
Chicopee Braves
Glasco Athletics (May decide to do even more potential items for them later)
Glasco Foxhounds
San Dimas Rancheros
Cape Coral Spires
Cold Creek Raccoons
Beechwood Jackrabbits
Mahaska Haymakers
East Point Panthers
Dutton Coyotes
LaGrange Sportsmen
Decatur Locos
Claiborne Cardinals
Bayou Bleu Blues

I have begun to come up with some potential team color schemes, at least, if not also any other ideas on how I might do at least the above teams. But I've not yet settled on any particular ideas related to them. Or at least not for the most part, I haven't, anyway.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure. Lord willing and all, of course, everyone, that is. That's all for now, then, I suppose. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some prospective items I just made for the Bayview Vikings, folks. I don't really know just yet if any or all of these new items will meet sufficiently well with either EC or jg2977's approval, at least, of course. But at least they are now made here, in any case.

The used fonts in question here for these items are CrushYourEnemies for the home items, and Warownia for the away items, just so you know. I used the following colors besides white and gray on them, as well, with the related information also included here, just so you all know it here well enough, folks:

ba0c2f Red NCS (186, 12, 47) [Meant to represent Norway]
ffca20 Sunglow (255, 202, 32) [Meant to represent Sweden]
002f6c Royal Blue Dark (0, 47, 108) [Meant to represent Finland]
391b6f Russian Violet (57, 27, 101) [Meant to represent the Minnesota Vikings, blend of various shades of purple from their color-related history]

Please feel free to comment on these items here as you like and can, within fair and just reason, then, of course, folks. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some prospective items for the Arlon Champions that I've made so far, folks. I don't know yet whether these will meet sufficiently well with the approval of EC and/or jg2977, of course. But at least these items have now been made here, in any case.

The font used on these items is Square Antiqua, and the colors chosen currently for these items are picked from three pro sports teams as I will mention below with the appropriate related color information, for sure:

862633 Antique Ruby (134, 38, 51) [Meant to represent the Colorado Avalanche]
ffc72c Mikado Yellow (255, 199, 44) [Meant to represent the Golden State Warriors]
0c2340 Oxford Blue (12, 35, 64) [Meant to represent the New York Yankees]

The next IPA team that I'll likely do here will probably be the Chicopee Braves or the Crystal Lake Skippers, if not the Ranford Bulls. Please watch for my potential takes on them here, then, folks. That is all. CD out.
