Story threads (encompassing Dynasty Stories, Association Stories and My Player Stories) are threads in the NLSC Forum that follow the action of a user's Dynasty, Association or My Player game. They generally include game recaps, statistics and screenshots that allow gamers to tell stories about their accomplishments and memorable moments in a manner that is usually similar to coverage of the real National Basketball Association. Story threads are often maintained not only for the entertainment of others, but also as a creative outlet and personal account of memorable gaming experiences. They also provide a means of asking for feedback and advice on tasks such as training and roster management.
All story threads are posted in the Dynasty & Association Stories section of the NLSC Forum.
Common aspects of Story Threads[edit]
Story threads generally contain a mixture of the following elements:
- Game Recaps
- Boxscores
- Player & Team Statistics
- Season Standings & Playoff Matchups
- Screenshots
- Diaries/Blogs
- Recaps and coverage of annual events (such as the Draft and All-Star Weekend)
- Fictional Feature Articles
- Fictional Magazine Covers
A thread need not include all of these features to be popular or successful. While some people have indicated they prefer threads that use a lot of screenshots, others have stated a preference in threads that place more emphasis on detailed recaps and creative writing.
Community Content[edit]
Another approach to story threads has been to include members from the community as players in the league, often replacing generated rookies. This concept usually provides a new challenge to the person playing the Dynasty while attracting interest from community members who are keen to see how their virtual counterparts will perform.
