===Team Nicknames===

[[User:Ch4zm/December_2022/All_Teams_Season_By_Season#golly]]
  
cold fire:
+
==Get your ass back to these good ideas==
  
* Elko Astronauts - Stros
+
===2024===
* Flightless Birds - Birds
 
* Baltimore Texas - Texas
 
* Seattle Sneakers - Sneaks
 
* Salt Lake Turbulence - Burbs
 
  
cold water:
+
[[User:Ch4zm#December 2024]]
  
* Ft. Worth Piano Tuners - Tuners
+
Big Purple Time Machine
* Tucson Butchers - Butchers
+
* invent a time machine to try and change the past
* Phoenix Freshrolls - Rolls
+
* everything they do just results in a bunch of alternative Golly universes where they continue to lose the pennant game
* Balloon Animals - Animals / Ballooneys
 
* Jersey OSHA Violations - OSHA
 
  
hot fire:
+
Golly Mirror Universes:
 +
* would require rewriting golly core to do reverse indexing of array
 +
* would probably be bookkeeping - intriguing idea
 +
* revives the whole idea of a golly sandbox - different patterns, different maps, different CA types... golly reverse grid
  
* SF Boat Shoes - Shoes
+
===2021===
* Detroit Grape Chews - Chews
 
* Milwaukee Flamingos - Mingos
 
* Delaware Corporate Shells - Shells
 
* Sugar Grove Eavesdroppers - Droppers
 
  
hot water:
+
[[User:Ch4zm/October 2021 Lore Jam]]
  
* AA - Arsonists
+
(good point - DET or BTX being up 2-0 in a playoff series is a notable event...)
* BB - Boogers
 
* Albuquerque Solarpunks - Punks
 
* Orlando Business Majors - Majors
 
* Sacramento Boot Lickers - Lickers
 
  
===History and Backstory===
+
tool to find these?
  
Historical season-by-season summaries:
+
==Featured Games and Series==
  
* Everyone done except for:
+
===Game: Visualize Your Power===
* SLC
 
* FF
 
* SGE
 
  
===Expansion Teams===
+
[[Visualize Your Power]]
  
* FF - [[Phoenix Freshrolls]]
+
This raises so many questions...
* SLC - [[Salt Lake Turbulence]]
+
* First: how did we even find this? I think we zeroed in on the one-point victory, and it just so happened to fold in nicely with the season narrative
* SGE - [[Sugar Grove Eavesdroppers]]
+
* Second: we could use better templates. what cup, what season, what day, score, color boxes with team colors
* ABQ - [[Albuquerque Solarpunks]]
+
* Third: love it, in spirit. but it opens a can of worms. programmatically finding these matches, running golly spice calculations, organizing golly spice data, compute resources needed to do that (although, shoot, we can just sit back and let emmett/seawater chug...)
 +
* Fourth: potential to use these to generate or reinforce a narrative thread... might be a good time to introduce other elements to help the narrative thread from getting repetitive, for example, managers and team captains
  
==Peninsula League Teams==
+
===Series: Delaware Torches Detroit===
  
{{Tl|Navbox peninsula teams}}
+
[[Delaware Torches Detroit]]
  
===Categories===
+
Similar idea - but this one is for a series...
  
* [[:Category:DCD]]
+
* Focus is on the Detroit Grape Chews (as good a tragicomic starting point as any, right??)
* [[:Category:BCC]]
+
* Single greatest choke of all time (series)
* [[:Category:FF]]
+
* Could also do features of each double-choke series,
* [[:Category:SCB]]
+
* Could also give nicknames to each Detroit choke, and each Baltimore choke,
* [[:Category:AI]]
+
* (This is where we'd want to dig deeper into tragic sports lore for some ideas)
 +
* Could use Grape Chews choke series as jumping-off points for Hot League teams
 +
* (Repeat same with Baltimore, Cold League teams)
  
* [[:Category:SSS]]
+
Procedure:
* [[:Category:DD]]
+
* Create a plan
* [[:Category:CYC]]
+
* Start with double choke series, then move on to rest of choke series
* [[:Category:MM]]
+
** games, context
* [[:Category:SCS]]
+
** alliterative nicknames for teams (amazin mets, sultans of swat, whatever)
 +
* Then move on to games
 +
** we know final scores, so start with one-point games
 +
** every one-point game deserves some investigation
 +
** then move on to shutouts or blowouts - any at critical points in the season
 +
** I think we found the Sacramento Boot Lickers one by looking at a table of W-L, game opponent, game outcome, etc., for each season, season by season...
 +
** figure out if that was a command line tool, or a wiki template, or what...

==Rainbow Cup League==
+
* I think this is a fruitful line,
 +
* Keep working it,
 +
* Add templates for series,
 +
* Can utilize information we already have on the wiki to find interesting ones

Category - to add to pages needing updates at the end of each season:
 
* [[:Category:Update Each Season]]

[[Records]] is a central page to collect various records.
 
 
 
=Creating Infoboxes and Navboxes=
 
 
 
The process for creating an infobox:
 
* before you begin: map out the information that will go into the infobox
 
* top level categories become headers
 
* secondary level key-value pairs become labels/data
 
* when you're ready to make the template, copy the contents of an existing template that uses {{Tl|Infobox}}, like {{Tl|Infobox team}}
 
* start with two pieces: the includeonly piece (calling the {{Tl|Infobox}} template) and the noinclude piece (which gives an example)
 
* it's helpful to do this step in a text editor, so you can edit the example and the Infobox template it calls at the same time
 
 
 
=New Cup Seasons Pages=
 
 
 
Notes on what's needed to automatically generate all the Seasons pages for a given cup, and have everything go smoothly.
 
 
 
==Team Info==
 
 
 
Update team abbreviations in:
 
 
 
* {{Tl|TeamAbbrToHexColor}}
 
* {{Tl|TeamAbbrToName}}
 
 
 
Pseudo Cup:
 
 
 
* {{Tl|Navbox pseudo teams}}
 
 
 
Toroidal Cup:
 
 
 
* {{Tl|Navbox toroidal teams}}
 
 
 
==Seasons Pages==
 
 
 
When creating a new cup, the Seasons pages will require:
 
 
 
* {{Tl|Navbox history}} -> Navbox CUPNAME history
 
* {{Tl|Infobox season}} -> Navbox CUPNAME season
 
 
 
Pseudo Cup:
 
* {{Tl|Navbox pseudo history}}
 
* {{Tl|Infobox pseudo season}}
 
 
 
Toroidal Cup:
 
* {{Tl|Navbox toroidal history}}
 
* {{Tl|Infobox toroidal season}}
 
 
 
Dragon Cup:
 
* {{Tl|Navbox dragon history}}
 
* {{Tl|Infobox dragon season}}

==Eliminating Scribunto==
 
 
 
Part of the reason the wiki locks up and takes forever and is extremely easy to overwhelm
 
 
 
Logging into emmett and checking htop while this happens shows that scribunto is responsible
 
 
 
(Notes on private wiki)
 
 
 
Went back in time to copy the contents of the Infobox template from June 2013, before they switched to Lua
 
 
 
==Series Outcomes in a Table==
 
 
 
* color table showing outcome of each game
 
* visually easier to see what's going on
 
* lds and lcs all lumped into single page, but should championship series have its own page?
 
* series runs summary - who scored how much.
 
* or could we just put that in some records table?

===More templates===
 
 
 
We need two more templates:
 
 
 
* {{Tl|Infobox office}}
 
* {{Tl|Infobox division}}
 
 
 
What information is needed in these templates?
 
 
 
Office templates:
 
 
 
* Office name
 
* Child divisions
 
* Number of employees
 
* Headquarters
 
* Facilities

==Rivalries==
 
 
 
Reorganizing all of the crowns page to use the templates pattern, and writing some bot scripts to keep the templates up to date.
 
 
 
This is gong to be LOTS of templates, hang on to your hats.

==Bot Expansion to New Cups==
+
* Lack of lore leads to one or two ideas sticking on a page, immobile
 +
* Trying to get unstuck leads to one or two pages having more extensive lore, using templates, building things out
 +
* ...could keep going
 +
* ...but stops there, too much work
 +
* Hard to keep track of the things that aren't automated, too, some things go years without getting updated because I just forgot about them.
  
Each cup has several bot-created pages. This is a list to keep track of which bot-created pages have already been expanded to new cups, and which still have to be expanded.
+
==Reorganize Team Pages==
  
===Bot Expansion to Dragon Cup===
+
Following {{CTeam|DET}}'s lead (above - they are one of the pages with the most extensive lore)
  
<s>Update bots making records templates:</s>
+
Reorganize team pages, starting with DET:
  
* <s>win/loss</s>
+
* General overview
* <s>points</s>
+
** History
* <s>points per game</s>
+
** What cups, when joined, name changes, moves
* <s>length</s> N/A
+
** Major rivalries and evolution over time
* <s>streaks</s>
+
** Notable achievements, records, place in broader lore
* <s>shutouts</s> N/A
+
** Team collective character, notable fandom info
* <s>postseason matchups</s>

* <s>[[Records/Shutouts]]</s>
 
* <s>[[Records/Matchups]]</s>
 
  
<s>Expand season bot for dragon cup</s>
+
===Why reorganize now===
  
<s>Update season pages for latest Dragon seasons</s>
+
makes lore segmented
  
* <s>[[Dragon/Season 1]]</s>
+
gives us opportunity to make everything uniform and automated into templates
  
<s>Update titles/pennants/champions template bot</s>
+
overview template
  
<s>Update cup page to add titles/pennants/champions template - [[Dragon Cup]]</s>
+
(old page, new page, figure out what to port.)
  
===Bot Expansion to Rainbow Cup===
+
so much work.
  
Update bots making records templates:
+
too much work.
  
* <s>win/loss - make it rainbows instead</s> (done)
+
shadow pages?
* points
 
* points per game
 
* length
 
* <s>streaks</s> (N/A)
 
* shutouts
 
* <s>postseason matchups</s> (N/A for now)
 
  
Update records pages to add new templates:
+
[[User:Ch4zm/June 2025/Template]]
  
* <s>[[Records/WinLoss]]</s> (done)
+
...
* [[Records/Points]]

* [[Rainbow/Season 3]]
 
  
Update titles/pennants/champions template bot
+
[[User:Ch4zm/June 2025/Vegas Vampires]]
  
Update cup page to add titles/pennants/champions template - [[Rainbow Cup]]
+
[[User:Ch4zm/June 2025/San Francisco Boat Shoes]]
* Division winners - still makes sense
 
* Pennant winners - doesn't really need its own table.
 
* Champions - shows the 4 "pennant winners"
 
  
===Bracket Templates===
+
[[User:Ch4zm/June 2025/Alewife Arsonists]]
 +
</s>
  
We have {{Tl|8TeamBracket}} (lines are broken, but that's a separate issue)
+
...TBC
  
We need {{Tl|8TeamRainbowBracket}} (based on 4 team bracket, but adding 2 teams per round)
+
=July 2025=
  
Done. Also managed to fix the lines issue in {{Tl|8TeamBracket}}.
+
==Alewife Boylston==
  
Fix procedure:
+
<s>
 +
[[User:Ch4zm/June 2025/Alewife Lore Jam]]
  
* Set border color to red for the cell whose border is messed up, see that it is collapsing halfway through (where the border disappears)
+
[[User:Ch4zm/June 2025/Alewife Arsonists]]
* Fixed it by setting border=0 and finding where the cells didn't extend far enough to the right
+
</s>
* Had to add some empty cells with a specified colspan, right up until the empty cell whose border is supposed to form the connecting line
 
* Voila, took a couple of tries but now it's finished and fixed and looking good!
 
  
Fixed 2021-10-30

...
  
==Crown Expansion==

==Expansion Ideas==
  
Easiest way to do this is to outline the narrative with a few lore fragment template red links, and then fill them in as we go.
+
Expansion ideas:
 +
* <s>BTX and BTX2</s> (overcomplicates things)
 +
* FWPT -> LIL (Louisville Illusionists)
 +
* <s>ORL -> PHI (Philadelphia Philologists)</s> (not good)
 +
* TOR (Toronto Blues Ey)
  
==Postseason Pages==
+
overcomplicates things, and plenty of other stuff to focus on
  
(Hellmouth Cup - Season 23 and Season 24 cups seem to be swapped...??? Wiki pages and posters are wrong, don't match data on disk.)
+
inclination is to keep it exactly the same every single year, Hellmouth II, III, IV, V, VI, ...

Get your ass back to these good ideas

2024

User:Ch4zm#December 2024

Big Purple Time Machine

  • invent a time machine to try and change the past
  • everything they do just results in a bunch of alternative Golly universes where they continue to lose the pennant game

Golly Mirror Universes:

  • would require rewriting golly core to do reverse indexing of array
  • would probably be bookkeeping - intriguing idea
  • revives the whole idea of a golly sandbox - different patterns, different maps, different CA types... golly reverse grid

2021

User:Ch4zm/October 2021 Lore Jam

(good point - DET or BTX being up 2-0 in a playoff series is a notable event...)

tool to find these?

Featured Games and Series

Game: Visualize Your Power

Visualize Your Power

This raises so many questions...

  • First: how did we even find this? I think we zeroed in on the one-point victory, and it just so happened to fold in nicely with the season narrative
  • Second: we could use better templates. what cup, what season, what day, score, color boxes with team colors
  • Third: love it, in spirit. but it opens a can of worms. programmatically finding these matches, running golly spice calculations, organizing golly spice data, compute resources needed to do that (although, shoot, we can just sit back and let emmett/seawater chug...)
  • Fourth: potential to use these to generate or reinforce a narrative thread... might be a good time to introduce other elements to help the narrative thread from getting repetitive, for example, managers and team captains

Series: Delaware Torches Detroit

Delaware Torches Detroit

Similar idea - but this one is for a series...

  • Focus is on the Detroit Grape Chews (as good a tragicomic starting point as any, right??)
  • Single greatest choke of all time (series)
  • Could also do features of each double-choke series,
  • Could also give nicknames to each Detroit choke, and each Baltimore choke,
  • (This is where we'd want to dig deeper into tragic sports lore for some ideas)
  • Could use Grape Chews choke series as jumping-off points for Hot League teams
  • (Repeat same with Baltimore, Cold League teams)

Procedure:

  • Create a plan
  • Start with double choke series, then move on to rest of choke series
    • games, context
    • alliterative nicknames for teams (amazin mets, sultans of swat, whatever)
  • Then move on to games
    • we know final scores, so start with one-point games
    • every one-point game deserves some investigation
    • then move on to shutouts or blowouts - any at critical points in the season
    • I think we found the Sacramento Boot Lickers one by looking at a table of W-L, game opponent, game outcome, etc., for each season, season by season...
    • figure out if that was a command line tool, or a wiki template, or what...

Series: Midwest Staredown

The Midwest Staredown

  • I think this is a fruitful line,
  • Keep working it,
  • Add templates for series,
  • Can utilize information we already have on the wiki to find interesting ones

Community College and the bureaucracy

Hellmouth Community College Fire Department

get back to thinking about the weird worlds, campus layouts, divisions

not a gigantic corporate complex, simple 80s community college campus

List of Bureaucracy Pages

Original

Original ideas: User:Ch4zm/October 2021

June 2025

  • Lack of lore leads to one or two ideas sticking on a page, immobile
  • Trying to get unstuck leads to one or two pages having more extensive lore, using templates, building things out
  • ...could keep going
  • ...but stops there, too much work
  • Hard to keep track of the things that aren't automated, too, some things go years without getting updated because I just forgot about them.

Reorganize Team Pages

Following DET.png Detroit Grape Chews 's lead (above - they are one of the pages with the most extensive lore)

Reorganize team pages, starting with DET:

  • General overview
    • History
    • What cups, when joined, name changes, moves
    • Major rivalries and evolution over time
    • Notable achievements, records, place in broader lore
    • Team collective character, notable fandom info
    • Stadium
  • Hellmouth Cup
    • History
    • Chart
    • Summary
  • Klein Cup
    • History
    • Chart
    • Summary

Why reorganize now

makes lore segmented

gives us opportunity to make everything uniform and automated into templates

overview template

(old page, new page, figure out what to port.)

so much work.

too much work.

shadow pages?
