AnthonyBurke Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I wanted to do something a little different with the story of a dynasty. I wanted a little more room for creativity. I know other people have Reds dynasties going with stories and that's cool. I've read some of the storylines people are doing and they are good. I don't think I'll tread on anyone here by using the Reds as well. Again, I wanted to do something different! So my Dynasty, it's storyline, and team will revolve around the Reds but it will also center on an individual. It will take place in the 2007 baseball season. It will feature music, flash based stories, interviews, webpage based day to day progress, and more creative stuff as I go. I will add all the game rules and definitions I am playing with soon. For now if you wanna see the start of the story and follow through the finish of game 1, - Opening Day go here - - - > http://www.geocities.com/cincinnatireds3/Rookie.html Make sure you come back to this page and let me know what you think of my new approach! Good or bad I'd like to get some feedback. Peace! Anthony Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyBurke Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 yeah, geocities is free, but if you got alot of visitors anymore it shuts down... That sucks! It used to allow alot of traffic before it shut down. This kinda blows because I don't think I can do some of the stuff I wanted to do with my dynasty stories here as well as I could with a webpage. I'll try to work on something to get this going. Thanks for checking it though. Keep looking for it to come back up and I'll keep trying to figure out how I can get it done.

NY-City Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 try another free web hoster like angelfire or the tons of others they dont shut you down and they give you tons more space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedsFan1970 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Great Job! I will definitely be following this dynasty closely even if I don't make many posts in here. Keep up the amazing work and thank you so much for showing some love to my favorite team...even if they are playing like little leaguers so far in real life.

redsfan776 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 While looking at your pics i noticed that BAKER calls in relief for Zambrano, shouldnt it be Pinella? He is prolly using kg's rosters and he didnt change the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyBurke Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hey guys... I don't know if I am going to be able to do this or not. I was in the middle of updating the site and now it's down again. I suppose it's getting alot of traffic. I don't think any other free webpage sites are going to allow much more bandwidth or traffic. It's cool everyone keeps hitting the pages to see the Dynasty, tells me I had something going here. I tried removing the music from the .swf (flash) files and that saved me some room. I put a dumb midi on the front page which blows, I hate midis' but it felt like my only option. I put the video of Hamilton on a MySpace page. That seemd like a good idea. Then once I added alot of .jpeg photos' and got some more traffic it went down again. It took alot of work all day yesterday for me to change the concept from the original ideas around. I was a little disheartened a few minutes ago when I was close to getting the game 1, and game 2 stats and pages back up and running and the site went down again. I was trying to utilize alot of flash files and stuff because the files tend to be smaller, but even that apparently wasn't enough. So to be honest with as much as I want to do a cool dynasty storyline, I really wanted to do something different and make it unique. However with as much as I've had to scale back some original idea's and change things around and the amount of time I put into it already, I can see that the free web- pages are just not going to work. And I'm certainly not going to buy a website to do this. LOL!!! Makes me wonder what kind of bandwidth MVP Mods uses and with all the traffic they get daily & how they do it. Makes me respect the site more. Also makes me wonder what a you tube and myspace type site that utilizes huge amounts of videos, pictures, and forums does with costs and how they keep the room to do it free. Anyways, I don't wanna give up but, I won't half-*** my concept either. Right now I feel like I'm cheating myself out of creativity if I keep scaling back to make room. So unless I can figure out somehting different I think I'm done with this. If anyone has any idea's for me I won't be opposed to listening or checking them out. Otherwise, Peace!

AnthonyBurke Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Reds Fan776 - He is prolly using kg's rosters and he didnt change the manager. Your right! I didn't. And I knew that Pinella was the manager now but, I kind of, "Oh welled" it! I also forgot to sim the game forward to 2007 and was really playing in 2005 with the 07' rosters. So I was starting to notice some of the early first day work I did had differing dates. LOL! I need to update my rosters, photo's, and change a few things apparently.

AnthonyBurke Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Rookie A Reds Dynasty returns http://www.geocities.com/cincinnatireds3/Rookie.html Well, I spent a ton of time retrying some things and I restarted with the rosters updated, and in the right year (07')!!! Hopefully the site won't go down again and this will work out. Let me know... Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyBurke Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 This series is my first shot at making a card so I made an easy template. This is based on the late 70's early 80's TOPPS series of cards. Click on the card to see it in full!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyBurke Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 *Updated Game 2 is now online! Sorry it took so long to get back here, and do this. First it was the frustrations with the webpage crashing, and the way I wanted to do a dynasty with video and photo's, then it was problems in my real life which was consuming my time. I'm good now though! Also the Reds dynasty is on! So I will try to update an entire game profile every other day at least. More if I can. The link to the dynasty is still the same. http://www.geocities.com/cincinnatireds3/Rookie.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudge77 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 How did you do that with that site like get working links and the scroll at the top? Thats a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyBurke Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 It's all flash I used tools like Swishmax Macromedia Flash 8 Professional Flash 8 Encoder Magix Real Most of the links and the flash scrolls, photos, and all are embeded with code in flash. Pretty easy to do really but I been fiddling with the stuff for a while now to get decent at it. You can do most of it with just SwishMax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
