Branch Rickey/Zimmer HBD World Merger Topic





Welcome owners of Branch Rickey and Zimmer. This is the alignment for your new world merger. These two worlds weere unusually well aligned already. For instance, I am pretty sure no one changed leagues and only a handful changed divisions and cities. Please check your lines below for spelling and correct punctuation. Despite requests by some owners for a move to a new city/division/league only teams that required a change for purposes of the merge were actually moved. Ease of alignment makes for a quality merge with the greatest number of teams being satisfied with the results.

There will be NO CHANGES TO city/park, division or league (unless I've made some sort of alignment error)--so please do not ask. The only changes allowed will be for spelling, punctuation, and most importantly your team mascot. A few teams changed divisions or cities. All of those teams retained their previous mascots, some of which are now inappropriate to their new location. But we will allow all teams to change their mascots untul saturday night. After that this plan will be submitted to CS for approval.

Feel free to ask questions below. BTW, those of you from Zimmer who don't know mr_wonderful . . . .that is the second account of my alter ego sermonauthor. I have opted by necessity to give up my championship Tucson team in Zimmer and keep the Santa Fe squad in Branch Rickey.

Please write your changes below or send me TCs. You have until Saturday night.

BULLETIN: Good news Gents. I sent a ticket in to CS just to see if the alignment for our new merged world was up to snuff. They were amazed it was pristine on the first attempt. No more than me--I assure you. They have scheduled the merge for either Friday morning (tomorrow) or Monday morning. So this is going to be an ultra-fast roll. My advice to those who have interest in keeping some past records of players is to either take screen shots of player profile cards or use the Notes section of the profile card to manually record information such as IFA bonuses, position drafted, etc which can be helpful when attempting to trade the player. I've found this info helpful after past merges. If you already have information in the notes section it should survive the merge. So do do whatever you need to do to get your team in order. We roll shortly!

ATTN: Be sure to check in two or three times a day now because when we merge that is a roll to budgets and things will come new and fast and furious. If you retain only one thought about the merge hang onto this: Once we merge you should receive the same budget you currently have. If you change one budget item--JUST ONE BUDGET ITEM--your entire budget will revert to all 10s as if you were taking over as a new owner. If that's what you want that's fine. From there you will be able to go plus or minus $4M on most categories. But you will not be able to take (for example) the $16M Training you have and turn it into $20M. In Year 2 after a merge budget functions revert to normal. You have been warned!
