The Black Winds of Winter | Cheese's Oakland Raiders Franchise

Prologue:

Anyone who has done multiple dynasty reports know that there are some that you loved just a little bit more than the rest, some that truly felt special. For me that franchise, was my very first, “A Game of Inches” with the Buffalo Bills (Madden 10). I have always loved taking bottom of the road franchises and trying to rebuild them.

As I return from my hiatus of ‘chising, I once again find myself looking for the biggest of rebuilding projects and I have found that in the Oakland Raiders. They are a franchise suffering from mediocrity both on and off the field.

Some of you already know me but for those who don't I am cheese2121. I have traversed a number of "chising sites" but have now found my home at OS. I am an avid football fan. I follow the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Atlanta Falcons. This is my sixth time doing a franchise/dynasty report. I will be taking on the persona of Dan Clayton (this is not my real name) the new owner for the Oakland Raiders. I've always enjoyed reading franchise stories dating back to the RockUrSocks's Raiders and Bucs franchises on Sportsgamer forums. I will warn you right now, updates may be incredibly slow at times as I am in vet school and some weeks can barely find time to breathe. I have been inspired by many of you and in turn would like to extend a special thank you to the following users: Deegeezy, Tearz49ers, RockUrSocks, Matt10, mfbmike, Lumpkin, Letails, Maize, DJ Rhude, jwin122, Iron Dragon and many many more. As always guys, give me a chance to post my introduction things before posting, I'll let you know when....Thank you for following and I hope you enjoy. Without further ado I give you The Black Winds of Winter | Cheese’s Oakland Raiders Franchise

Franchise Rule Book



Personal Statement

This franchise will be as realistic as I can possibly make it. I have chosen the Raiders because they have been mediocre for a long period of time. A lot of the formatting for this franchise will be similar to DeeGeezy's work. I give him all the credit for giving me the great ideas. As I said in the prologue, sometimes updates could be very slow due to school and my many other responsibilities. Don't expect lots of games to be churned out quickly. I would much rather take my time. This report will be about quality before quantity. Please don't bash others in my thread. I welcome criticism as always but I would like not to have arguments and such going on in here. I am a very laid back guy and am not here to argue/fight with anyone. I would love to hear your opinions/criticisms but I don't want people getting attacked on my thread. This is for fun, let's try to keep it that way.

As I mentioned in the prologue, I have been gone a long time and had thought for a while I would strictly being playing a quiet offline franchise. But as I began, I found myself writing down storylines, keeping track of stats, and before I knew it I found myself putting together another franchise. I am happy to be doing this again and can honestly say this is the most excited I have been for a franchise since possibly my very first. Thank you for following and once again welcome and I hope you enjoy.

*You will notice, I have no rules like I have in past years, with Madden's new expanded roster and cut system a lot of the previous rules I used for controlling roster size are obsolete. Rules may later be added as I get a better feel for the new system. An emphasis on realism will be maintained throughout the franchise.

Cheese! My brother of the rebuild! Good luck with this one. The defense isn't bad, but I'm not sure who is worth keeping on the offense. Maybe Rivera at TE? I'll be following!

Hey guys!!!

It is so great to see all of you and hear back from you. I am happy to see so many of you still at it.

I am so excited for this project and am absolutely loving it. Unfortunately I will be posting it at another "chising" site. I am a moderator over there and unfortunately with the time demands of vet school cannot keep both sites constantly updated.

I welcome you to continue to follow along at the link below.
