h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi BBS, some advice please...

Do you think it would be feasable to run the JM Fantasy game through conversation forums... I was thinking the edit facility would enable me to update changes without typing out the whole thing again.

I've tried reading the GuideML hints, I'm trying to figure out how to include tables - extremely useful for presenting rosters and stats!!! ... but I don't get it Do you know how they work or know someone who does?

I was also thinking of a seperate forum for each team and one 'Commissioners Office' with league wide info and updates... Do you know if this would be ok... do they have any rules on this kind of thing here?

All sounds feasible to me off the top of my head. In fact use of an entry per team and a commissioner's office sounds a good idea. We'll need a central place to abuse each other. I will, of course, have link to the Commissioner's Office from the Amfoot Forum

I don't believe there's any problem with running our JM League off of H2G2. I think I'd be inclined to just go ahead and do it. If it doesn't take up too much space or use too much power, it'll go by unnoticed. If it does cause a problem and get noticed the worst that'll happen is they'll ask us to stop. If you really want a definitive answer you could click on the "H2G2 Help" button on the toolbar. But I'd be inclined to get on with it, it's not like we're being rude, profane, insulting, plotting terrorism etc ...

You may already have read it but the entry http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/GuideML-TABLE gives the syntax and how to use tables. Looks fairly straightforward. It also looks like "Amy the Ant" is up for giving help, she's posted a comment in the conversations on that page. That should get you through it ...

My only word of warning is that if you're uploading stats and use something like Microsoft Word watch out. Quotes get converted to &5678# or something similar. Notepad is much better.

Hey BBS, you sorting your Raiders out or what?

Things are moving quite quickly now so if yer still playing, you might wanna subscribe to the relevant pages and start tweaking your roster...

I just don't get a lot of time at the moment ... would it be better to test my 2nd string or go with my starting roster?

I've noticed stranger...

Most of the others seem to be going on the basis of playing their young back-ups all the time to gain experience and hopefully improve... this will be at the expense of wins but it's only preseason...

Are you happy to go with this?

I guess so. I don't have time between now and 8pm Friday to even begin to think about the JM stuff. Or the rest of life come to that!

Aww BBS... what's goin on? Real life turned up again huh?... you have my sympathies whatever it is...

And don't worry, I'll take care of your Raiders until your situation settles down again...
