ICC 2008 Succession Game

[Somerset]

I'm fairly sure its been done before so I'm wondering if theres enough interest for a "succession game" with a county side on ICC 2008. One member plays say two weeks of the season before attaching the save file for someone else to download and play another two weeks worth and so on. The story therefore isn't written by just one person which makes it interesting. Just seeing if theres enough interest (only need a few people really) and if so, what team we should select.

Wouldn't really be up for actually playing, saving and uploading etc but would be interested if there was a board of selectors type of thing happening.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Most certainly in.

 

[Somerset]

Interest is not quite what I was hoping for, I'll just bump this up and hopefully another member or two will be keen to have a go.

interested

 

[Somerset]

Ah ok, well perhaps if we start this more people will become interested as we go. Any thoughts as to what team we should select?

 

[NZTailender]

South Africa or Pakistan.

Lancashire

South Africa or Pakistan.

I was planning on doing it as a county side but an international one might work as well.

Lancashire

Any objections to Lancashire? If not, I'll start the game up and play a few matches and upload it for someone else to do their matches.

At a quick count theres at least 42 games in a season but could be as high as 48 or 49, so perhaps four or five games each turn? I'm not sure if that sounds like too few or too many?

 

[Somerset]

Ok I just started us off, I also created a new topic - http://cricketweb.net/forum/showthread.php?t=40483 - to put the results in, and use this one for discussing whose turn it is to play, and to upload the save file.

 

[Somerset]

Ok heres the save file after my four games (two in the CC and two in the Challenge Trophy). Good luck to whoever goes next, remember no cheating!

 

[Kweek]

I'll give it a go next

 

[cpr]

I'll have a play somewhere down the line, let 1 or 2 others who volunteered first in before us.

 

[Somerset]

Jump in whenever you like mate.

Here it is..

 

[Somerset]

Heres the file after four county games (2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss so far), and eight Challenge Trophy matches (6 wins and 2 losses).

Pass it round, CC game up next

Does anyone else want to play a few matches?
