Get your ass back to these good ideas
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

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
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
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
- 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

Reorganize Team Pages

Reorganize team pages, starting with DET:
- General overview

- Major rivalries and evolution over time
- Notable achievements, records, place in broader lore
- Team collective character, notable fandom info
- Stadium
- Hellmouth Cup

Why reorganize now
makes lore segmented
