I love the way you write Big Six, it brings the characters to life so well - in my mind Pat O'Farrell is one of the greatest players of all-time, it's so easy to forget that his personality is just you writing, and not based on a real person - and that's what the great dynasties (and great stories of any format) are based around - great characters - some dynasties on here play more OOTP than your dynasties do - describe more games, transactions, and talk about their farm systems more than you do with your dynasties - but you bring to life the characters - Pat, "Rough" Bill, Emily, Elizabeth, Mike, Charlie - just to name a few, and that's what we read for, and it's stories like yours and Tib's (which I was ecstatic to see make a comeback recently) (and I'm sure others) which keep me coming back to OOTP Forums, because just game logs of OOTP aren't that interesting to me - I can play OOTP myself (and I do!), but it's the characters, relationships, teams and dynamics that a great, highly-skilled author (such as yourself and Tib) can create, that make me want to read and return.

The fact I've just written a 203-word sentence doesn't bode well for any dynasties I may write (), but I just wanted to show some appreciation for the work and brilliance you bring to this forum.
