JG's IPA 2.0

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Fine, it's your dynasty, but I was really hoping to see a rather good deal more, if and whenever possible, of many players in your dynasty would ultimately each turn out to be in their careers, whether they were your players, my players, or game-created players. I've always tried to propose the players I've proposed for your dynasty with realistic enough ratings and all, though, you know.

Does this also mean you are retiring the coaches that were players that I'd proposed to you over time during this current run of your IPA and/or MLB? Just wondering and all, of course, you see.

I probably will still be interested in this particular dynasty of yours, honestly. But it probably won't be as much as I have been interested in it before, for obvious reasons, if none of my players or yours are in it any longer, of course. Not a criticism here, for sure, in any case. For, ultimately, this is YOUR dynasty to run and control and all, not mine. As that is the case, I can't really make you do things you don't want to do with it, and I wouldn't even want to try, for that matter.

I can still perhaps offer suggestions that might improve it, and no doubt I have offered them here in the past, too. But again, this ISN'T my dynasty, so I don't really have a say in how it is run and controlled and all, in truth. Only you do, ultimately, you know. And I have to respect that here, for sure, of course. CD out.

Thanks. As both EC and I have mentioned, we think that you would procure the most enjoyment and satisfaction out of following your players and teams of interest in your own dynasty. We both look forward to you posting a dynasty report in the near future.

Well, at the moment, I've not actually been able to do much playing of OOTP and/or writing, for instance, lately, unfortunately. Although it has been fun to see how your dynasty has developed, with or without my players involved, to at least some degree, to be honest.

Of course, you prefer a more offense-minded environment than I do in your dynasties, it seems, but that's perfectly all right here, you know. After all, they're your dynasties, not mine. I prefer a more level or perhaps even an environment more advantageous to pitchers than for hitters, in most cases, I believe, which is all right here too, for sure.

I will tell you this, however. IF and when I finally get Lighting Up the Darkness's first draft done, if I ever do, I plan to take about a week or two off, at least, from that story, if not from others as well, and spend at least a little time playing OOTP or doing something else, so as to hopefully recharge my mental batteries, so to speak, with that storyverse at least a little bit, if not a lot. But not more than about two or so weeks, at most, I think, for obvious reasons. I really don't want to be still working on that story come November, if I actually am able to live that long in my life, for sure, jg2977.

I'm turning fifty in five weeks from now, and I've probably got several chapters to still write up for this story by then, if at all possible. Whether they're long or short or moderate-length chapters, I still do have to do more work on the rest of the story. I strongly suspect, though, that the first draft will come in at around 500 pages, not counting potential reference material and all, more or less. And I will probably want the final draft to take up no more than about 400 pages, not counting the aforementioned reference material that'd most likely be included with it, once this project is done, for sure, as well.

I don't know how many more pages I'll ultimately have to write for this first draft, of course. But I still would suppose it most likely would be at least another 50 pages or so, if not more. Simply because I still have at least some battle segments to write for at least chapter 24, among other things I have yet to add to the story in question. I don't know yet just how in-depth those battle segments will have to be, but they still will need to be in the story, for sure, before I can end it well enough, jg2977.

I'm not sure if I will have to perhaps add more text to what I currently have for chapter 23, but we'll just have to see if that's actually going to be required later for the story, in any case. I really hope I can get this story done soon, so I can start planning out book two for a potential series here, Lord willing and all, of course. I also want to get back to playing at least a little bit of OOTP baseball, for instance, for a little while, as well, soon, if I can. CD out.

It's okay if you want to give updates on your personal life and your novel, but please feel free to do that in YOUR thread. This thread is only for commenting on happenings in my IPA and MLB.

Ok, I'll try to remember that, but I was also commenting on your IPA/MLB dynasty here, at least, too. Just so you know. That's all. CD out.

1907 World Series - Game 2

[jg2977]

Pro Cup XXXVII

In all three series, the Tucks dropped their first two games, but in the past two the Jays rebounded to win Game 3 and eventually the series. The same thing has happened in the Pro Cup, and the Tuckanarra fans hope that their home team can ride the momentum to a championship.

1907 World Series

The Hartford Huskies are just one victory away from a dream come true - A World Series Title, and defeating both of their New York rivals in the process.

I sent you a proposed profile for Tanyi Makiesse, but seeing as you now evidently do plan to retire everyone we've created who is still an active player, at least, if not also various players we've created who are now front office personnel, after this season's awards and all, I suppose that he won't actually get into your game now, in truth. But if that's the case, then so be it. CD out.
