Title: Languish Football Setup Thread (Front Office Football)
Post by: Syt on September 02, 2009, 02:37:44 PM
In the spirit of the season I bought Front Office Football (http://www.solecismic.com/fof/index.php) recently. Still finding my way through the game menues.

Though the rosters/draft files for 61-05 seasons are there I generally prefer playing with fantasy teams/players.

Hence I consider setting up a Languish themed league, much like I did for OOTP Baseball:
http://languish.org/forums/index.php?topic=538.0 and http://languish.org/forums/index.php?topic=530.0

The game is set up for two leagues with four divisions each, with four teams each:

NL & AL, each with North, South, East West divisions.

I'm looking for Languish themed team name suggestions. For reference, the LBL teams were:


US East

Sounds like fun. :)

The only claim to fame my locality has is

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushton_Triangular_Lodge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushton_Triangular_Lodge)

which is about two miles from me in the sunny old Burgh of St. Dee (better known as "two pubs for seven thousand people" Desborough.)

"Desborough Triangulars" is not very catchy though... :cry:

I'm currently thinking this lineup:


AFC

East
Budapest Hackers
Seoul Admirals
Helsinki Lizard Kings
Bangkok Perverts

West
Venice Padres
Stockholm Nukes
Iceland Vikings
Madrid Larches

North
Vancouver Crazies
NY Robins
Alberta Administrators
Portland Baldies

South
Texas Frogs
SF Grabbers
Baltimore Irish
Phoenix Golden Eagles


NFC

East
Warsaw Foot Ticklers
Russia Gulls
Jakarta Blades
HK Monos

West
England Explorers
Jerusalem Fighting Camels
Oslo Misanthropes
Vienna Cannibals

North
Anchorage Beaners
Montreal Foxes
Detroit Poets
Yukon Barristers

South
RI Timmays
Oxnard Trolls
Ohio Angermonkeys
Kentucky Legion


Unfortunately, there's not much customization of teams except color schemes for the menues and a logo. No randomly generated player photos like in OOTP.

I'm still debating whether to use the 2008 or another historical roster (say, starting in the 1980s, and then importing the historical draft lists each conseqcutive season) for the inaugurational draft or to use random players.

You were replaced by Texas Frogs, mostly because there was no good gypsy themed logo.  :blush:

It is ok, Wyomingites will root for whatever team is made up of scrappy losers who still manage to end in the middle of the pack - it is our way!
