Crowdsourcing the dynasty, part two: making things worse

[sigma7]

While the last post was seeking clarity, I have, almost predictably, fallen the other direction.

Some of the settings (and the rosters) are still default and yet to be tweaked, but they will be.

First up, an old favorite: the Xavier University Mutants. Plenty of names to be found from the sprawling mutant titles....



Next up, the Pharmaceutical Witch Doctors. I anticipate replacing the last names of randomly-generated players with popular medications.



The Rock 'n Roll Hard Rockers are based in Cleveland, if only because that's where the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame is, and because nothing good ever happens in Cleveland.



And the Presque Isle Lobsters. Yes, I know their mascot isn't really a lobster; they don't really have a football team, either. Nyeh.



As their polar opposite, the Caribou Vikings.



And finally, because I can't resist, the Fort Scott Pilgrims.



I technically have room for two more teams on my account, if there are any more suggestions, but obviously the scope of this project is...changing. I'm still not sure what, exactly, it's going to be, but it'll be...epic?

Just don't put Alex on as a receiver. Scott would keep telling him plays and he would do something different just to spite his brother. Might be best altogether to have the Summers brother on defense or special teams.
I see Viagra as the kicker on the Witch Doctors.

I played a quick game of Witch Doctors vs. Pilgrims last night -- Geddy Lee got picked off three times by Jonathan Hydrocodone (one returned for a TD). Rob Levaquin is the kicker now, but I think one could make an argument for swapping him out with Ben Viagra (currently a wide receiver).

Similarly, the Mutants lost in OT to the Hard Rockers -- slant routes to Pietro Maximoff are a good thing, but Scott threw three picks and the Mutants lost like three fumbles. And Alex is a DT, Nate Summers and Nate Grey both MLBs; you're right, I could see Alex channeling his inner Randy Moss just out of spite. (Gabriel has been omitted because I find him tedious.)

I can just see Robert Kelly on the Commissioners scrutinizing the Mutants and pushing for its dissolution.
"This team demoralizes and stands against everything the NFL has become. Maybe they would be better off in the IFL!"
A Sinister figure continually makes offers to purchase the team but the Owner/Coach Charles Xavier continually refuses.

Okay I'm done now. :)
