Attention Parity Leaguers (and Fans),

 

I'm announcing the first trade game of the season. The rules are simple: the first person to submit a pull request on Github to close this issue https://github.com/kevinhughes27/parity-server/issues/127 gets to name a player and their GM must trade that player. The GMs work out all other aspects of the trade like normal. If a GM closes the issue before a player in the league then the game is over. Salary cap and other league rules still apply, this is purely extra fun.

 

The issue itself contains really good instructions for how to approach the problem. I consider it doable without any prior programming experience. If you have any questions get on OCUA's Slack and join us in the #parity-dev channel.

Perhaps the funniest thing I have ever read on this forum.

 

How about. A surgeon says I cannot operate on this man,...

I consider the problem approachable, and certainly doable in a Mr. Fixit Fox type way.

I'd actually like to do this, but have no idea what OCUA's slack is, or what a pull request is.  And how do we delete the code, and copy over the new code?  A programmer that speaks programmer cannot communicate with non-programmers.   "Really good instructions on how to approach the problem..."  LOL.

Sorry here is a link to get a Slack invite https://www.ocua.ca/Slack its basically a chat room. A pull request is how code is shared on Github, they have pretty good documentation if you google around. I will also accept code emailed to me if you don't want to learn about Github.

As for deleting code its the same as deleting words from a regular document. When you get on Slack I can help you out more :)

If I do this can I force someone to get traded onto the wait list for me?

Parity is in dire need of a mid-90s knee brace wearin' beardo.  Come on frisbee gods!

I only support Owen entering the league on two conditions:

1. I get him on my PLFL roster.
2. He starts talking some serious trash. None of his silly "let your play speak for itself" nonsense.

Owen and Stephen have been sharing a spot on Fight Club for the first two weeks. Nobody noticed.

I figure I got clobbered by Owen, because Stephen Close is not the evil twin.

Does he have a scar on his left side?

Is there a Parity to English translator?  I guess I'm just too old for this stuff...  :)

Carrie-Anne Whyte has closed the bounty! https://github.com/kevinhughes27/parity-server/pull/144 way to go CA!!

 

Stay tuned for more bounty shenanigans and to find out who will be named and subsequently traded.

Carrie-Anne is the Boba Fett of Parity. Hope she delivers the named player in carbonite, bounty hunter stylz.

Thanks friends! It was a fun activity and Kevin was super helpful! Kevin thanks for setting it up!

Also, had to find out who Boba Fett was - hilarious!

I just went into the parity code and changed the colour of women from pink (ugh!) to something less gendered! I would like a bounty in which my salary is consistently guaranteed to be a minimum of $5 more than Allan's, please!
