Orcin's Story - Page 86

Subject: Louisville GM Otto Orcin Returns

The Louisville Colonels think the future is looking much brighter for the team now that they have signed Otto Orcin as their new GM.

He will be presented at a press conference tomorrow, even though long-time Colonels fans need no introduction. Orcin was the GM of the Colonels from 2001-2008. He was the architect of four world championships and his teams have a winning percentage of .636 in his career.

The story continues here.

Sal has to admit that he was warming up to the idea of going to a place like San Diego. Perhaps it will be easier to not put the shop on a trailer and move it thousands of miles.

Sal also has to admit that he was getting used to the slower pace around the shop. And while Sal has never been one for math, revenue around here has been down. Sal can't retire yet, so let's get back on the bus tour!

Poor Chris Porter! Is he on suicide watch?

Doubtful... He'll always be a World Champion GM, whether he won it with Mr. Orcin's team or not. I'm sure there will be other opportunities out there for him strictly off of Otto's coattails.

Just finished all 86 pages... Looking forward to catching up in the other thread now. Great story, Orcin!

This thread was a very entertaining read. I learned quite a bit by just being a fly on the wall.

B1ackswords · 06-26-2014, 09:25 PM

Just had jaw surgery and what a great way to pass the time!!! Will be moving on to the next story! Orcin you are the Man! Actually kind of took a liking to the Flames as a secondary team (since I am from Atlanta) and will be interested to see if they can come back as well.

Orcin · 07-01-2014, 09:52 PM

Thanks for the bump!

They are all worth your time... and you'll NEVER anticipate the ending!

Orcin · 05-19-2015, 09:30 AM

Ok phillyboy19, medal awarded! Wear it proudly.

I'm glad for the opportunity to post, because I wanted to assure readers that the images will be back soon. I changed Internet providers and I need to update all of the pics in the first two threads. I am slowly moving them all to the OOTP server to prevent this problem in the future. Please bear with me until this is done. Thanks for reading!

A shameless bump to announce...

I finally located the remainder of the missing images from this thread on an old hard drive, and it has been completely updated now. I think I have everything from part 2 as well, and I will update those as soon as possible. The thread is much easier to follow with the images attached.

Thanks to everyone that has commented on this dynasty in other threads recently. It was fun reading it again as I updated it. A lot of people ask me if I plan to do another one. I don't think I have another story like this in me, so the answer is probably not. But I am still playing OOTPB a lot, so maybe one day another idea will inspire me. Thanks for reading.

Just spent a couple weeks reading this whole thing, on to The Return! This should be stickies on the front page, glad I found it!

This is old but how often do you autocalc in your play through?

I never use it in fictional leagues after the initial setting. I just let the stats drift and evolve as the game chooses.

Hey guess I’m a little late to the party, just reread this for the 2nd time and after 7 years I still think it’s my favorite. Thank you for getting me hooked into the awesome pastime that is OOTP dynasty reports!

gehrig38 · 03-27-2020, 07:08 PM

I'm afraid to read it as I think it will make me start playing again

gehrig38 · 03-29-2020, 09:45 PM

You did it you bastard! Your skills as a writer have ONCE AGAIN made me purchase and download OOTP21.... DAMN YOU!
And I honestly think I am going to give the micro-level recap a try, stay focused on my team, org and all that.
