Analysis Notebook Problem

Not sure what I'm doing. I started on some notebooks, but then, I'm writing a bunch of janky one-off functions. It feels completely wrong.

Would be better if we incorporated code we already wrote for wiki pages into classes or functions or modules or something.

Also, I've tread this same pattern before, not knowing where to start, always being shunted to the same teams all the time, SFBS.

Lore Building

Elements of rivalry lore:

  • built into the cultures or geographies of cities
  • built into the histories of the teams (not just institutions or cities, but owners, managers, coaches, individual players)

What elements haven't we touched?

  • individual character of cities... almost nothing is specific to the cities
  • no background for team history - formation - nothing
  • no details about stadium or venue
  • no locked ourselves into home/away
  • no picking a way Hellmouth connects to everything
  • bodies of water?

How to use notebooks

One thing notebooks can help with:

  • stripping out a single team's narrative
  • what did their schedule look like? how would fans have reacted?
  • build narratives from season to season; even two or three seasons of awfulness can have a back story.
  • personas?
  • (a) we don't want to have 12,000 players per team
  • (b) we don't want to have managers/owners, we already have the faceless bureaucracy.
  • (c) rather than owners, we can do (1) players and (2) long-winded backronym bureaucratic division names

For example... not so much with Hellmouth Cup, more with Pseudo Cup, we can think of it like week-to-week NFL, 11 games, like football schedule.
