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
Trying to unblock.
...
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?
Personas:
- 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
How to use notebooks
Single Team Single Season Schedule
Showing a list of games, win/loss, and score.
49 games: 24 home/away combo pairs for the Hellmouth Cup.
24 combo pairs = 24 hours, plus one midnight tiebreaker.
Also nice b/c 50/50 split of home/away games, gives us another stat to look at.
Avoiding the thousand bowls of oatmeal: we're interested in interesting teams... use single-season and all-time records to guide what teams we look at and when.
- what did their schedule look like? how would fans have reacted?
- this provides context, season to season, and for a single season, for building narratives
- even two or three seasons of awfulness can have a back story.
Broad strokes. Single events get lore fragments:
- example: User:Ch4zm/December_2021/Lore_Fragments

Random Ideas
Golly League
Salt Lake Turbulence:
- little league team
- the Little Eddies
- team of parents
- little league team always following the big league team around
anti-rivalry with the osha violations:
- when they play the jersey osha violations they have to get a sitter so the kids don't have to go to jersey
