Games

The DVs swept 5 from the Inmates, finishing up a 9-1 season vs the Impotentmates.

From the HEAD INMATE...

DVs took all 5 vs Inmates via a very fucked-up netplay on Saturday.

Playing the September games first due to persnickety HAL, Inmates out-hit DVs 17-16, but lost in 12 innings 11-9 as Santana allowed 3 1-5 ballpark taters. Game 2 was uglier, as the Beakless Chicken gang was routed 9-2. The last game at the Baptist Bowl saw the Inmates take it in the ass 13-2.

Moving to Tulsa for the August games saw Santana shutout by Halladay 2-0. The finale had Ryan Howard hit 3 taters and a double, yet the Impotentmates still couldn’t win, losing 10-6.

Inmates are now 10-15.

And a good time was had by all….

DVs now 15-8 – the new netplay sucks, btw. Finally got it going in Hamachi, but trying to get it going with game only did not work – and Hart’s program would shut down everytime he tried to access lobby. For me, during the game setup, whenever I would try and click control over to him – it would hang. We ended up playing all 5 on his machine, with him home and visitor, which seemed to work a little better.

Not sure how/what we need to do - I like the drag and drop, but it is very different in terms of how we hand control back and forth.

And one of the homers was a 1-3 split card reading, not a ballpark homer – bee-otch!

Wahoos played netplay Saturday morning in our other league. Five games in about 2 hours or so. We got hung up about 1 time a game (seemed to happen either the 2nd batter of the game or on a Jason Bay split chance). We did play in Hamachi.
We did have the patch downloaded. That made things smoother than a few weeks ago when i tested it out.
Also, didn't use the lobby, just did "join game" and it went to it. And after every freeze, when we fired back up it was always where it was supposed to be. No inputting of results or anything.

anyone tried just using the game to connect with each other? I've never had a problem connecting, just importing managers and or stats in the past. This himachi stuff is another layer of confusion and computer conflicts sounds to me.

DV/Inmate series was attempted without Hamachi, but we had no success at all. I agree that it's ridiculous to add another layer to the litany of things we already have, but this is the price we pay for having computer geeks design the game, rather than baseball/Strat fans.

I've tried connecting this year without hamachi. And it was a total failure. In the past, I've had zero problems.
