Backstory
For those of you who were following my brief run with my story last time, you'll have read that the new patch for Cricket Coach wasn't compatible with old saves, thus my story had to be restarted. I quite enjoyed coaching Surrey, and I have been playing another game coaching Western Australia, so it is a bit hard for me to let go of coaching just one team, and giving their story, but I thought this might be more of an interesting take on the story idea. This time, Michael Diamond will be starting unemployed as a reputation-less hopeful who'll take the first job offer given to him.
Format
I won't be presenting this story as a "dear diary" kind of journal, nor will it be told in first-person perspective. It will focus on the team's performance, Diamond's performance as a coach and, unfortunately, captain. The latter is not my intention, but due to the nature of cricket games, is an unavoidable circumstance. Any sort of in-game drama/backstory will be posted on a webpage-style format, including match reports and general articles by cricketing "journalists" and "experts". Interviews with Diamond will be regular, as well as major updates on how the cricketing world is going.
Prediction/Tipping Contest
I will be holding a bit of a tipping contest in this topic, giving my readers the chance to tip on Diamond's fortune as a coach, as well as his team's. I'd like to give everyone the chance to tip on every game, but I fear this would drag my story along too slowly, so I'll mostly be saving it for season predictions (team and player) as well as career predictions (and advice; I'll take it) for Michael Diamond himself.
