A Fantasy Grounded in a RealityOver the last few months you'll have seen that Chicago Bulls GM Shane Battier has been conducting interviews and surveys with many of us and we've contributed to what has become an extremely impressive 132 page thesis (!) based upon Dynasty Five, sim leagues and online gaming! Shane has titled the thesis A Fantasy Grounded in a Reality and I think it's a really good read. I hope you think so to! Many thanks to Shane Battier, it's fascinating and flattering that so much work could be put into Dynasty Five. Click here to read: A Fantasy Grounded in a Reality by your very own, Shane Battier!

Interesting that Charles Barkley describes D5 as a MMORPG. Why not! (Page 64)

Very cool. Sorry I couldn't get my responses to you Shane. For anyone who is interested, this is the original sim league, to my knowledge. Not sure if any other GMs around are still surviving from that league. I think maybe Magic Johnson was in it with me?

I was the Wizards GM for a year before the league ended. After the league ended a couple of guys I knew started another league that I believe Ian Noble might have been a Trade Committee member in before the simmer just stopped simming and the league ended. Shortly there after I believe Ian started the original D5. Any of this sound familiar Ian Noble?

And yep I remember all those spinoff leagues. I remember a guy who was the Wizards ran one league, which is where I came across Ian advertising D5.
