where to go from here?
- lore jams have some good ideas
- artwork? graphics? (take those and put them on virtual t-shirts)
Getting closer to scratching the itch, and resolving the issue with lore.
None of the lore is adding useful/fun character (motto, slogan, cheer, word, element, none of it).
memes
taking inspiration from recent sports t-shirts, can rely on a few templates:
- "template" (like Sunday Funday, or the outline of a person/shared graphic) (can duplicate and change color scheme)
- same phrase? different phrases? references to lore?
- sunday funday
- DUUUUUUVAAAAAAL
- You Can't Do That
- JET'S PIZZA tricolor stripes
More?
- retro super bowl logos
- party like it's generation 5967
- happy valentine's day
another template that can work well:
- A& B& C& D
These are completely not useful. Figure something out here. I don't know.
Promotional Poster Phrases:
- Surf and Turf (S1)
- Include these in the history navbox? maybe?
- https://wiki.golly.life/wiki/User:Ch4zm/November_2023/Promotional_Poster_Phrases
(These could also be useful for memes, graphics, etc.)
Dig for Weirdness
Need to dig deep to find the weird stuff, the unusual, the unfortunate
Real curses and unfortunate situations
take inspiration from real life curses/unfortunate situations/hero runs:
- detroit lions - "won't win for 50 years", accumulate worst record in entire league, never made it to super bowl, 1 single playoff win during that entire period (prior to 2023)
- cleveland sports curse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_sports_curse
- super bowl hangover
- Australian national team hiring a witch doctor, whose curse worked against the opposition, but backfired when they didn't pay the witch doctor (seems very DECO)
- "the bride of europe" or "the second of europe" - constantly reaching final round but failing to win, or constantly coming in as runners up
- Dallas Cowboys - constantly winning when it matters least (teams that choke at the back end of the season - second half record, 1/2/3 thirds)
- Divisional Curse - team getting eliminated from every division series (Quinto Partido)
- Rangers/Devils - "94 and never more"
- Maple Leafs - second most championships all time, but longest current drought without winning Stanley Cup
- Red Right 88: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Right_88 ("throw it into Lake Eerie")
Real names:
- 94 and Never More
- Quinto Partido
- Red Right 88
- The Bride of Europe
- Cleveland Sports Curse
Curses
Curses:
- OSHA - Curse of the Silly Goat
- DECO - Curse of the Witch Doctor
- DET/BTX - The Choke Artists
Curses to look for:
- The Bride/The Second - constantly coming in second, reaching final round but failing to win, constantly coming in as runners up
- Divisional curse - constant, repeated elimination in division series
- Party Time - first to be eliminated... party time champions? (table?)
- Losing streaks - or sharp downward trends punctuated by a few bumps on the way down - signs of a cursed team
- H2H losing streaks
other things we can look for:
- unusual streaks/records of one team beating the other
- teams that give up repeated series leads
- very low ratio of LCS wins/LDS wins, or HCS wins/LCS wins
- for each team, for each HCS win, calculate the wait between each one
- longest active playoff droughts, among teams...
- longest active HCS droughts, among teams...
ultimately, this is going to require the obvious: golly spice.
Drill Baby Drill
Pick one team - the Detroit Grape Chews - and go all in
User:Ch4zm/November 2023/Detroit Lore Jam
The lore, the memes, the t-shirts, the back-story, the roller coaster of seasons, the unfortunate situations
Mine all of it, but use THIS TEAM as the focus, figure out what to look for by finding all the skeletons in their closet and then going from there
