Barnstormin' - November 2nd, 2007
A major addition to The Tools of Ignorance is nearing completion. The new online game is based around the idea of barnstorming around the country in an effort to pick up new fans. Ever since I created the site, I have been playing around with the idea of an online fantasy baseball game. The challenge was creating something different than all of the other fantasy sites. A few months ago, The Tools of Ignorance writer, Jim Williams, wrote a column that made use of the following quote:
"Back then, Cleveland trained in Tucson, and the Giants trained in Phoenix. Then we'd break camp in early April, and we would get on a private train and travel back east with the Indians, barnstorming in all these little towns."
--Bobby Thomson
This provided the inspiration that was needed to create a fantasy game that didn't rely on merely creating a league and competing within that closed world. I hope that you'll find the new game simple yet deep and I hope that it will breath new life into the fantasy baseball genre. The beta version of The Tools of Ignorance: Barnstorming will be made available sometime during this offseason. Until then, check our current line up of baseball games. Enjoy!
