I spend a lot of my time on my Fantasy Proleague and Fantasy GSTL teams. That’s not to say I’m necessarily very good at it, I just spend a lot of time worrying about them. It’s not just a question of obvious things like scores, trades and balancing my antiteam well. Rather, I have to consider all the things the good manager considers:
How is my team getting on? Who’s winning this week? Will the other players be jealous of him? How can I have a team that has arch nemeses on it without them undermining one another’s performances? Should I take Clyde just because Artosis loves him and the publicity would be immense?
Life for the dedicated fantasy league manager is difficult. There is the feeling of constantly walking a thin line between the position of players like mrbamboo (winner of this season’s Fantasy GSTL) and myself (winner of this season’s Fantasy GSTL Fan-Fiction). That said, the Fantasy GSTL is past us now, and it’s time for us to consider something a little different. With that in mind, I’m unveiling a game I’ve been working on for some time now. In the same vein as the Team Liquid Blog Ladder:
The rules are straightforward; players are given a set number of points from which to assemble the ultimate mod staff. Players will then earn points on the strengths and weaknesses of mod actions made by their players (with a bonus provided for those mods elected as Team Captains).
For the moment, everything is coming along nicely. Each staff member will earn you points to the tune of:
Thread Closed +1
Temp Ban +1
Lengthy Ban (greater than thirty days) +2
Permanent Ban +3
Banned Progamer +5
For reference, here’s a quick look at how my team has been performing in the prestigious TeamLiquid Fantasy Mod Staff [BETA]™:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NQiaR.png) If anyone is wondering why I’m ranked so low in the closed beta of a game I myself designed, playing against the real mod staff means they know what they’re doing. Heyoka is a shark 
Special points will be awarded when mods perform signature moves. For the moment, it will be better to keep those quiet; it should be more interesting to let people feel their team out a bit and see what they’re getting bonus points for. For the moment, suffice it to say that there are some obvious ones you can expect to see when you’re building your team:
Chill
Every time Chill posts in a stereotypical girl blog +1 point
Manifesto7
Given his outrageous numbers, bans from Manifesto7 are worth half their regular value. All other mod actions are worth double
Milkis
Every time someone mistakenly confuses ace translator Milkis for fomer GomTV Code A caster Kelly Milkies, you gain +1
Hot Bid
Every time Hot Bid appears in a photograph unexpectedly, gain +1
If you were the photographer +3
If the photo was of you +5
Heyoka
Every time Heyoka successfully uses a poetic device in a news post +1
Every spelling or punctuation error you discover in a post by Heyoka -1
Flamewheel
Every time Flamewheel is caught cheating in Mafia +1
Riptide
Every time Riptide makes an oblique Shakespeare reference and nobody gets it +1
Closing
By way of conclusion, I understand that there are plenty of you out there who won’t want to just go into this blind. Some of you will want to hit up the biggest list of statistics you can get your hands on and start researching exactly how to best pick your own fantasy mod staff.
That instinct is strong, but it’s also well catered for. Simply consult the always impressive and comprehensive:
Marvel at the extensive charts, graphs and leader boards, then direct all your thanks and praise to Spazer, whose dedication is beyond doubt.
+ Show Spoiler +I really wanted to have Nyovne or Manifesto7 on my team, but they were waaaay too expensive... look at that zeal: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bSJ8u.png)
If anyone can suggest custom rules for other members of the staff, this will go an awful lot faster.
+ Show Spoiler +Have to say thanks to the people who precipitated this post and contributed to it. Flamewheel, GHOSTCLAW, Probe1, and maybe some others.

One of them is Milkis. The other is Milkies

I think kelly milikis was the one translating because she looks asian so she speaks asian right???
|
Ahahah this is hilarious. Should be spotlighted!!
|

|
Ummm.. This is brilliant! I am laughing my ass off^^
|
+5 everytime Milkis gets hate for translating an article.
+1 if your mod gets insulted by a pro-gamer.

In what world would anyone choose milkis as captain over pN4Demik.
forget that in what world would you not have Nyvone on your main team.
|
Ok, I choose Nyovne.
I won.
edit : seems I'm not alone to have this brilliant idea :D

This is outrageous I can't believe I'm anti-teamed
I wonder if real progamers feel that kind of sadness when they look at fantasy teams
|
Jolt delivers yet again!
I think Chill should be put on anti (not enough girl blogs these days). Hot_Bid is a must for main, and Nyovne too.
|
Every time kwark tries to argue that killer is actually really good +1

Milkis is a coinflip. On days, he'll do good, amazing, especially when somehow stumbling on a controversial topic, purely translating. The old and dying joke about Kelly Milkies is wearing off since most can associate a face with his name. I don't think Milkis is a valid choice.
If you check the buzz topic: Automatic Ban List, you can see who are the runner-ups in terms of bans. Banlings should be your ace. Start trading for banlings who are the most active just before events such as MLG hits, etc. Nyovne, Plexa or even Beyonder are great picks during MLG for example.
I also noticed the league has nothing for writers, would have snagged Mystlord and tree.hugger in an instant. Love their writing.
No photo-bombing or Portal reference about Hot_Bid either, big shame. Manifesto7 is an easy snag, but he's hitting a rut due to his diet and need to bike.
Those are my thoughts on the matter. It's all relative to the events or what is happening. After events: Go for the writers, etc.

He has mid-season trade written all over him :D

I question your decision to pick TLnet Bot. as an anti-team member.
That's akin to taking Flash.

Carnac O.O His picture is surprisingly appropriate.
And Milkis as your captain? Your proposting skills haven't translated very well to this Fantasy League, SirJolt.
Also, when are we gonna have a Proposter Fantasy League?

Make this happen! I would definitely participate
