Do you write bad Dynasties?
I personally am the king of bad Dynasties. Honestly, can anyone remember a dynasty I actually wrote? Not including my Hattrick Dynasty or the current dynasty? Most of my Dynasties only last a few days at most. And when I do enjoy writing one, no-one seems interested. Ah such is life I guess.

Should I point out that six of us have said "yes" and only one has said "no"?
Does this mean we all have esteem problems/overly modest or that the quality of work on the dynasty board just isn't that good? SI

I stopped writing dynasties on the forum itself and went to storing them on my website. That got old after while and I quit adding to that as well, so I guess I'm a YES, I write bad dynasties.
Hopefully once I get the NASCAR sim database working I'll have some good stuff to show off. someday |

Every dynasty of mine has failed except for one: The Up From The Ashes dynasty rocks!

I think judging by the response my 2 previous dynasties received, I wouldn't say they were bad, but they weren't exactly good or hotly anticipated either like QuikSand's Lincoln dynasty (which I'm glad to see back).
I'm a decent writer, but I tend to leave out details because I don't write a lot of stuff down.

I've attempted to start a half-dozen dynasties, but I convince myself to forget about it because I don't have a writing style that would make my dynasty compelling. I'm much more of a stats guys and I could fill up posts with stats, but the act of translating my thoughts into decent copy is where I fail.

Dola...
It is impressive that we have more members with trout in their rectum than good dynasty writers. |

I used to write a number of dynasties, but could never get any interest, so I must be a bad writer of them!

I wonder what percentage of dynasties ever actually get "completed". It has to be very low.

I agree. That, and I don't want to spend the time getting that deeply into what has already happened, when I'm ready to move forward with the game. I lacked the willpower to put a sufficient amount of detail into it to make it interesting for anyone (including me) to read. I tried, and I sucked. I don't think I even went public with any of it, because I quit so soon after I started.

Some dynasties have specified goals. I guess probably the anti-dynasties usually have more concrete goals - run a team out of town, destroy a team from the inside, save the world from aliens, etc. I guess a lot of them are open-ended though. |

I managed to make it through a few threads worth of an Army TCY dynasty that no one read, but I just got sick of TCY in general for a while and stopped. I thought about a "house-building" real life dynasty, but figured that would be too boring. If I can figure out a way to work it, I might try an interactive Tiger Woods dynasty where people sign up and I sim everything for a tour season / career (like the excellent NASCAR racing league).
