I've decided to go a different route with this dynasty. Either on this thread or a new one, I've decided to sim at the pace that I'm accustomed to. I can't sustain a slow-pace dynasty without lots of feedback and reader interest. That's no knock on any of you, it's just...that's the only way to motivate myself to get interested in the storylines.

And the thing is, I write at such a volume that it's not really realistic for me to expect anyone to keep up with me.

Sooo...my plan is to do something a little unorthodox. I'm going to go through and actually play out the 20-30 or more years of history and then go back and recall for you the highlights and low-lights of that timeframe. It'll be fun, because I can talk about players, the stuff that happened, what they did and of course, focus on the teams and the storylines therein.

I think that'll be a more interesting way of doing it and also, the pace won't be such that stuff is happening all of the time. It'll be like a dynasty on ESPN Classic, rather than watching it on Sportscenter.

We'll see if it works, but..I like the idea of trying it out.
