Athens Updates.

Due to the way I write the Blue & White and the sim schedule falls they are rarely in sync, usually out a game. So in future I'll post the Blue & White then when I've edited that issue to bring it up to date I'll post here, I know most will not read the update actually it's mainly for myself to keep track of the Blue & White issues.
I'll also be updating the OOTP Dynasty thread, way behind on that. Hopefully I'll have caught up come the All Star break.
After getting kind permission from Matt that was much appreciated, I'll not only be continuing the story of The Karaoke King, Akari, Dom Hemingway and the Yakuza that I started with Jimmy 'Hard as Nails' Quinn or should I say
Nate Woods spotlight, there in fact will be a flashback story of 10 years posted elsewhere. It may make a gentleman in Chairo happy, seeing I think he has a thing for Akari

Would you like to see her the first time she appeared in The Karaoke King story?

Hah! I'm equally interested in the whereabouts and plight of any character known as The Karaoke King!

To be clear, you can cross post on the OOTP forums but it should be posted here

Player Spotlights have been updated, the Blue & White publications will hopefully be updated over the weeks. There will however be changes next season, with time on the small holding and extra sims keeping up with the B&W as been impossible. I hate to start things and not finish them, this seasons B&W issues will be finished. However next seasons the B&W will be a special maybe every month game time but like the Cairo one, I'll also expand the Diary of an Athens GM to a paragraph per post. Hopefully doing this gives me more time on player spotlights, I'd love to do a spotlight for every player who plays in the majors for Athens, that's my aim anyway.

Timeline updated, as is the
Diary Of An Athens GM. Sadly I don't think the Blue & White editions will be updated, extra sim and my busy time of the year put paid to that I'm afraid.

Diary of an Athens GM 2043.
Post After Every Sim. (If 3 sims returns)
I wasn't happy how the diary played out in 2042, so after rethinking it there'll be a change to that in 2043.
Player Spotlight.
This will continue in 2043, hope to post at least six during the season. My aim is to eventually post a spotlight on every player who took the field for the Centaurs in 2042.
Down on the Farm. Minor League Round-Up. (Each Level In Turn)
This will be under the Blue & White publication name.
AAA Reporter - Dirk 'The Big Cheese' Cheesley.
AA Reporter - Buck 'Fencebuster' Frobisher.
A Reporter - Monty 'Curveball' Cobbley.
Rookie Reporter - Newt 'Hotstove' Hobson
The minors will get more attention in 2043.
Karaoke King.
This as been in the melting pot for 12 years or more, it's about time I got all the articles, posts and ideas into one story. I don't expect much footfall on this, more for myself being greedy if anyone else enjoys it that's a bonus.

Yes Neil, I had to drastically alter my writing schedule when we went to four sims, I'd had it off pat before then, But I'm happy with the way it worked out in the end. Assuming we're back to three sims I will go forward with Albuquerque getting it's own report while Columbus & Topepka are grouped together as will be Springfield & Anchorage.
Good luck going forward

Hopefully others pick up the slack if 2043 is 4 sims, I did the write ups for the whole of the UMEBA part of the media guide. 4 sims I'd have to count myself out on doing that again, I don't think I'll be hitting the 200 club this season that's for sure.

I was looking at my team page and it struck me Athens and my single A ball club wore blue, plus Athens publication is the Blue & White so I thought why not go with a blue & white theme for the franchise. Rocknfire7 did them on the OOTP boards.
