Mr. Radpants
Trog Five Standing By
The WBL Winter Meeting Committee would like to invite GM-Owner-Managers and their family and friends to the 125th annual WBL Winter Meetings in the floating Dyson Sphere about the hell mouth formerly known as Williston, NORTH DAKOTA!
By 2071 the industrial machine known as North Dakota is one large floating oil extraction conglomerate/short jump space port (lunar orbit only) suspended above the Bakken Shale Formation.
The Bakken Shale formation is one of the WORLDTOPIA's largest oil reserves, but is difficult to access via traditional methods. Fortunately, we moved beyond the fracking bullshit, thanks to Elon Musk (take that, @TonyGin&Juice) and just extract the oil directly to our space port with a swarm of NANOBOTS!
Many over the past decades have scoffed at our diesel fueled space barges, all while FTL travel has opened the stars to humanity, but as it turns out, there is simply no more cost effective way to truck raw earth materials to the lunar depots than ROLLIN COAL.
The Winter Meetings will be held inside one of space travel's biggest ideas: the Dyson Sphere itself!
Did you know? A homerun has never been hit inside the North Dakota Stadium THE DYSON SPHERE because it is a megastructure that completely encompasses a star, designed by Type II civilizations to completely capture the sun's power output.
So grab a friend GM and head to the 127th Annual Winter Meetings! Once inside the Dyson Sphere, make your way to the inside edge of the sphere where all North Dakota residents live and where baseball is played!
If you think you notice the visible surface sloping up a bit, and if you notice that there's no horizon at all, don't freak out -- that's normal! You're standing on the inside of a giant sphere.
Keep in mind that this device was created for two reasons -- to suck the power from home run hitters and to suck the power from the Sun. So be sure to bring your sunglasses! This Winter Meetings comes complete with a major blinding hazard!
A joint collaboration between the Winter Committee Meeting, the WBL Commissioner's Office, and alien scientists, the Worldtopia Baseball League and their affiliated parties will gather at the 126th annual meetings for a week filled with seminars and league and organizational meetings.
For six event-packed days, the host Dyson Sphere will bring together front office personnel, trade show exhibitors and job seekers, all under one roof. Throughout the week, a number of notable events fill the agenda, including the Baseball Trade Show; the WBL Job Fair, presented by the ULG; the Banquet; the Bob Freitas Business Seminar & Workshop Series; the Awards Luncheon; and the Gala.
This year, the Workshop Series will feature several interesting breakout sessions such as:
#BAGSZN
The finest chefs around share their very quickest Szechuan Chicken Recipes!
Roleplay Time!
While planning this Winter Meeting, GM Radpants stumbles upon something he never knew existed -- Star Trek Roleplaying Communities. In this interactive session, participants can slip into a Starfleet uniform and blast back to 1980s scifi - how quaint!

In this webcast, attendees can watch a live feed of Aberto Amicis chewing sunflower seeds for hours, waiting for Game 6 of the Leagueship start.
and a live screening of a new film:
ESPSim Presents:
30 for 30: Year of the Scab
Two weeks into the 2070 Leagueship, the league's Omissioners went on strike. For the first time in the history of simulation sports, the GMs were not saved. Would replacement Os take the field? Will the league turn to "No-Names", "Has-Beens", and worse yet -- GMs whose name don't start with O? Tune in to find out!
