Hi guys, I've had a (relatively  ) original idea for a story which requires two (or even more!)reporters. If you're interested in being a reporter for this story, either comment here or send me a pm and I will pm you the details. Shoutout to OwenOzzy (I know there are numbers there but I forgot them ) because for some reason his was the first name that popped into my mind for this story and I was going to introduce it to him when he finished his current story, but I can't wait anymore . Anyone is welcome to participate, and I will make a decision on how many reporter there'll be and who they will be approximately midday Monday 8th July in Italian time.
Thanks in advance, Cycleman123. |

maybe a better idea to tell people the idea you have but if it is what I think it is then it is already done

Ok, so it's about two (or more) cyclists who have recently signed for the same team. They are both the same type of rider and thus are rivals. In addition to this, they simply don't like each others attitude. The story is about both of them developing and writing reports on each race from their point of view. |

So why does it need more than 1 person to write?
How will you share the DB?
(and sounds like another Ian clone)

It doesn't NEED more than 1 reporter, but I thought that it would seem more genuine with one rider's reports being written by one person and then another person writes for another. Plus, the story is meant to be about two people who are completely different and only alike in terms of rider style. I have a particular writing style and someone else has another, and I feel that the way the riders write days something about their character. Obviously you could say that I could write in 2 different ways, but that way it wouldn't feel genuine. |

I'm changing the system, this will be a general discussion thread for before the story starts (which it hopefully does ) and of you want to be a reporter you will have to pm me and I'll reply to you on the inner workings of the story 
Thanks, Cycleman123 |

This is like the BMC Paparazzi project, which was masterminded by Mresuperstar.
It started off well and was lots of fun, but one member I dont think has been seen from since, and that kind of ended the story.

Maybe because you were not specific enough. It doesn't work like "Hey I have this cool idea, message me and I will tell you what it is". You should first tell us everything about this idea if you want us to get involved.
You also did not specify the requirements. For example: Does it require the reporters to have PCM13 or are older ones also acceptable? etc.etc.
If you do these, maybe you will get some applications |

Ok thx Juszta, so pretty much, it may or may not require a lot of effort on your part. I've decided that how it CAN work is that one person has the db and races the races. He takes screens of both our riders (assuming we're both in the same race), and sends them to the other person along with a summary of what happened so we can both write reports. That's the idea I have anyway, you can tell me if u have a better one. The player should have PCM13 but it's notna deal breaker |

I literally just got round to reading this. If it isn't too late then I am definitely up for it. I won't be starting my racing career for my story for a little while yet and even when I do I am sure I can make time for this as well. Thanks for the shoutout also Cycleman |
