Good to see some hard hitting by Deccan.
3 Aussies in the middle order.. What else do you need to win a match?
3 Aussies in the middle order.. What else do you need to win a match?
thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. i hope i won't let you down in the next few updates.
This is a terrible incident, and my immediate thoughts are with the victims, and their families and their friends.
In the aftermath of this accident, many players and coaches involved in the 3rd DLF IPL have left India, and have returned to their home countries, I understand that most of the Indian players have also flown out of India with team colleagues.
Because of the attack, and the players leaving, the IPL is being suspended indefinitely for this season.
It is unlikely that the season will be able to restart, but we hope that next year's new IPL will still be held in India.
I would like to end by again saying that everyone involved in the IPL is very upset by this attack, and our thought's are with the victims and their families and friends.
That is all.
The fact is, your last 5 stories ( since November 2009 ) have not even continued after 40 posts. If not bothering to do a story for long terms, why starting a thread then? We need proper explanation to see this thread continuing, otherwise, it will be closed after merging all your 5 story threads. :readit
the reason for not continuing with the last few stories is that i felt that my story wasn't getting much feedback, after the initial burst of comments, they dried up and nobody posted, which was a huge let down for me.
Also, i didn't feel the urge to complete the story, mainly because playing C07 is so bad, and therefore makes it feel like a chore to play the game just so you can write a story that nobody comments on.
Hopefully this story will attract more members, as it's different, and also it's based around the IPL so far.
I hope that this is an alright explanation, and i hope that your next few posts are positive, i'm sorry if i've broken rules, but when i have asked you to close and delete threads in the past, i don't get a response.
anyway, IPL auction action to come soon...
watch this space.
Mate,good luck for this one.But,the reason you have posted for not continuing with the stories is nothing really.Do the stories for fun,please.Anyways looking forward to this.
Harris, you cannot stop stories because nobody posts. Most of my cricket stories have had little feedback, you've just gotta keep going, otherwise you'll end up never getting very far with an story.
Stop using it as an excuse for frequent loss of interest in your stories. Come up with a good idea, right plenty of updates and get into the game before starting a new story. Then you know you are enjoying it and you have updates in the bag to start with.
I have said that 'i didn't feel the urge to continue mainly because C07 is so bad, and it feels like a chore to be playing a game that you don't really want to so that you can post updates on the internet that nobody praises you for'.
This time, i feel i've got a great idea, because it can go so far, beyond just this IPL with Deccan, i can move on to other domestic cricket and eventually international cricket. Cricket Coach is a lot better than C07 for me, i love statistics and everything like that, whereas C07 is actually a 'game', whereas Cricket Coach is more of a management game, which i love, because you can tweak things here and there, like Football Manager, and have loads of fun using it.
I hope that this has cleared some things up, and I hope that you'll be reading and commenting on this story for a long time.
We all have the same problem with replies, especially us non-Indian members. Still, you should seriously try writing 20 updates for a new story to make sure you enjoy it and are into it before making it public. That way you always have updates in hand and can continue to stay ahead. Just advice, take it or leave it, but as someone who used to do this all the time understand that what I am saying is true. The forum has really gone downhill the past year because of the lack of long standing stories.
Right treva. Ending the story for no reply thing isn't happening for me really. The thing is that you should enjoy your story. I'm really missing when I used to do my story as I enjoyed it. Personal issues have made me put it on hold right now. I'm hoping I'll get back into it. Harris, I think this story really had the potential and you can keep going with it. I've seen you have started many English stories in the past but you could never get it past say 4-5 pages. So what is the point in starting a new story everytime?
