So just re-writing most of Act 2 and 3 for Karl Hammarling. I was re-reading it yesterday and decided it wasn't quite right. So putting in some good work to add that bit more quality to the story. Also developing a slightly different story arc which may or may not be to peoples liking. But it's what I want to write, and will do so regardless of what people think.
Also Lasnik can be officially called dead following my need to re-set my PCM and reinstall it all. Gonna put all my efforts into Karl for the time being.
Finally planning to make a few changes/additions to my Story Writing Guide, so if you have anything please PM me and i'll chuck it in there. I am planning to add it to the Tips and Tricks section before Christmas.
And finally finally (sorry) just wanted to say how the overall quality of stories on the site is massively improving all the time! Was reading over some old stuff from this time last year and there is a noticeable improvement in quality across the board. Well done everyone!

I've had a productive sleep. Got around 3000 views on my story when I went to sleep. Now I've come to check and it's 6000. Seems like someone's F5 button is broke or something.
That or, you know, China really digs my writing.

Your post made me take a look on my story , and it jumped from 400 views to 3400 (or something like that). I won't complain.

Hi guys,
I've got a problem on my side. (On 1 of my 2 computers).
If I want to make screenshots, I want to hide everything of course.
But when I click CTRL + U, nothing happens. Except that my game freezes. If I click CTRL+U again, the game works again, but nothing disappears.
I can use F1, F2 etc, to hide all interfaces seperately, but:
1. It seems that if you do it that way, there's always 1 thing that has to be there, otherwise a random other interface pops up anyway. So I always have at least the pause button on the right in my screenshot.
2. It takes more time 
3. If I ride a TT, there's no other way than CTRL+U to get the interface right-above(with the intermediate times) away.
This really annoys me at reporting(EPIC races), and might also be the biggest factor that keeps me from writing a story(beside lack of time)

Well, you could always cut off the pause button, and in the case of the ITTs the intermediates.

Yeah, but a report would take me twice as much time like that
And it's just extremely annoying anyway.

Hmm, I could that.
Problem is that I've modified my game so much that it would take a lot of time to get everything back.
Plus I have the same problem on the double-install I made.

Maybe the (over)editing is the problem exactly? |

Could be, but this seems more gameplay-related, I just add some stages(for a Personal Fantasy-DB) and a few jerseys.
I do have a giant bunch of .cdbs though, I can try deletimg mostmof them first...

Yeah, but on my computer (way before) I had some gameplay issues and that was a result of my computer being too full and also the database being broadened. It's all connected, dude |

Guys, i have a problem. I mean, i want to start new story. It's pretty stupid , but i just want to do it. On another side, i feel like a moron because i started 2 in last 3 weeks and that's totally idiotic. Have no idea what to do.
Will probably stay with the story a bit longer since i already played a career with them in PCM13, PCM10 and PCM12 and not a single one shorter than 3 seasons. I need some advice. I have free time, so that's not problem this time. Neither it's PC issues.

If you feel like it, just go for it
This comes from a man who's had his share of stories, both good and bad. You can't let that bring you down. In the end you write stories for the people's amusement and you're doing it free, on your own time, so there's no pressure at all!
If you need some advice, you may always ask me, any time! |
