By and large, it's pretty self explanatory. You're given control of a team with a set of players (which have ratings) and you can set lineups, rotations, bullpen usage, minor league rosters and sign free agents -- to do so, you send your transactions to the league owner (in this case, TrendyBastard), and he goes through all of the transactions for all 30 teams in his copy of the OOTP game. Every few days, he'll then simulate a 20 game stretch of the season. After the sim, the results are uploaded to a page (which you can peruse here: OOTP 6 Generated Website). You can make your next changes the same way before the following simulation. There's a draft, which works simply, the players are created when the year begins, the selections are made throughout the season in a separate thread, and input come June 1. You can make trades by discussing a deal in private with any other GM in the league, coming to an agreement and sending the trade to TrendyBastard, there'll be a vetting period with a Trade Council, and if approved, the deal is entered in Trendy's copy of the game.

Basically, you run your team -- in all of the same ways a GM does -- via private message, board posting and a bit of tinkering.

I'm sure anyone here can answer any additional (specific) questions you may have, and Porter may have already done so, but...

He hasn't asked me yet but this is a great start.

I just PM'ed Porter, but thanks for the explanation. I was curious about the player ratings, but I see how they work on the OOTP website. I am definitely interested as its pretty much just the GML league with the addition of games being simmed.

Should I start trading specs for picks?

The picks would die too.

I'm out for justice, because AMC shows too many shitty Steven Seagal movies.

[PhillyFan]

I'm out for vengeance because I've never been in the playoffs in this league.

I'm out for a few drinks of wine and a good time.
