Re: Athens Fighting Centaurs Reporters 2043
I love the fictional reporters idea. You have a better imagination than I do! I wasn't able to dream that kind of thing up, though I wanted to. I tried to look up famous Egyptians and I think I got hung up on Omar Sharif's Wikipedia page. Maybe he could be a guest Cairo Chariot Archers correspondent!

Re: Athens Fighting Centaurs Reporters 2043
Send a pm if you ever want to talk about stuff like this, I was going to look up retired players but then I'd need to see if they had player spotlights so thought can't be bothered . Anyway I was watching an old episode of Due South and a character was called Buck Frobisher, then I watched an old football (soccer) game from the 70s I think. Anyway they interviewed a player called Paul Cheesley so it kind of snowballed from there, then came the how do I figure there intro to play by play calling, the weird world of sports You just have to relax, this took about 4-5 days all told but not full days just things popping in my head.johnd2442 wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 1:21 pmI love the fictional reporters idea.

Best thing is like I say relax and either carry your phone or a small book and write notes down, my mobile is just a glorified note book.
