Nothing much for me-
29th October, 2004 - Joined Planetcricket
A long period of inactivity and then came back to PC to check any Hall of fame etc. Found one and pretty much laughed at records that members had here. So created every possible record I could and then became inactive again for a while.
9th February 2005 - My first thread and post
Throughout the month of February, 2005- Created all the Cricket 2004 records.
28th May - recorded a "6 sixes in an over gameplay video". (the link may be down now)
29th June 2005 - came back to beat Brad 352's highest test score
20th February 2006 - Started doing the Stats for Cricsim
30th March 2006 - Promoted to Fantasy Cricket Staff and created my first game
Next aim is to get the Planetcricket magazine launched and maybe the skill points system as well

Lets see If I remember stuff:

April 2005:: Realised Voldemort was making better patches, started downloading his, and stopped making my patches.

December 2005:: Introduced Battrick to PC members.
January 2006:: Started first Tournament and won.
Febuary 2006:: Started Second Tournament and ended up winning along with 2 other teams because of someone not playing their game, and the new league starting.

April 2006 (Yesterday):: Returned to PC/

Very interesting and diverse timelines there Siddharth and Pak Cricketer. Siddharth, I guess you could add to your timeline about when you introduced a PlanetCricket skill points system. It certainly did create a large amount of interest around the forums.
As for Pak Cricketer not ever spamming, I'll have to agree with him on that one. Very valuable member.

It certainly did but it'd only be a milestone or achievement if it gets integrated into PC which brings to mind, the finalised fixed version will be ready by this sunday hopefully and I might do a final PM to Ste about it. Rest is up to him and staff.duffarama said:
I have a very bad memory but i will try to piece together what i have done at the forum.
About 3 years ago: Joined PC, i think it was still called blc-online then. I found the forum looking for cricket 2002 downloads.
About 2 weeks later: Started to post reqularly at the forums and became intrigued with the online games.
I then started to play one off online games mainly against Auwais, Rangeela, Undertaker and Sonic. A new tournament then started and i became involved in that.
For the next year: A fair few online tournaments were played and proposed which was all great fun. Sam introduced a no cursor .EXE for Cricket 2002 and Ravi had started some of his AI patches and i was keen to become a tester for both, and this ate away at my free time, homework piled up but i didn't care!
PC and NZ warriors started to have a fight, which didn't make much sense to me at the time and i managed not to get invloved.
Ravi's patches continued to get better and better, and i was unbeliveably happy with my Cricket 2002 game.
The introduction of Cricket 2004: Cricket 2004 came out and at the same time i had to leave the forums for a couple of months because i was going on holidays to visit my Aunty and Uncle in Queensland.
I returned and started to come involved in AI testing, online play and general forum talk once more.
It got to a stage where so many editors came out that i was able to make my own AI Patches with the guidance of Ravi.
I tried to speciailise in extremly hard AI patches, but they didn't prove too popular. Especially after Squiz managed to score over 1000 with one of them!!!, lol
I even managed to become so active that i became a moderator. I was in charge of quite a few forums and enjoyed that experience. This led me to creating a few spin off forums with Squiz and Jarryd which revolved around other sports that we as Victorians like to talk about a lot (mostly AFL).
Was it the end?: I started to get a lot of homework and restrictions by my parents and was not allowed on the computers as much as i would have liked. I started vist PC less and less and eventually left for quite a deal of time. The job as administrator at my other forum also contributed to this.
I have been on and off since then, which is probably about a year or a year and half. Comming back for a while, and then leaving again.
The resurgence of Radaga?: yes i am back again now. For how long?, i hope for a good while at least. Have started up a Football Manager topic (link is in my sig) and am always interested in the cricket happenings around the world. I currently do not own a recent cricket game, and that will continue untill one comes out that i am happy to play or can be patches significantly. (BLC/RPIC is tempting but no AI patch
)
So i am back for now, i doubt i will be back to the days of 30 posts a day, but im gonna make a bit more of an effort.
Cheers :cool:
End Note- probably huge sections lost in my memory, if i can be bothered to look through my old posts i will fill it in properly later and in better detail.

I'm sure the skill points system will be implemented soon. Hopefully it will be fair to everyone, not just yourself we hope! :cool:siddharth2002 said:It certainly did but it'd only be a milestone or achievement if it gets integrated into PC which brings to mind, the finalised fixed version will be ready by this sunday hopefully and I might do a final PM to Ste about it.

Welcome back to the PlanetCricket forums Radaga and it will be an honour having you here again. I had a good read through you timeline and I must say you have a better memory than you think! It's great that you arn't busy anymore and I have no doubt you'll buy the next cricket game that comes out. All the best.
Thanks a lot duff mate.duffarama said:
It is quite a poor effort though, i will try my best to fix it up this weekend.
PS- the blue boys got close on the weekend, a top 10 finish maybe?, it's respectable. Good to see the Fev is on song though, even if he did get reported
lol, i hope it becomes sucessful, it's good because it gives me something to do in my free time :cool:usy said:Radaga you've started a great PC Football team too, great, that should be in your timeline too
I forgot a whole heap off stuff in there that i have started actually!
I started the first couple of online tournaments with Cricket 2004.
I attempted to start up fantasy cricket and soccer simulations, which were stopped due to lack of interest.
I started a sign-up for a planetcricket 2004 team, but i managed to stuff my computers system files up, and that idea went down the toilet.
But as i said before i'll fix it up properly. Probably on the weekend
