Nominations

[Andrew]

Twelve, my mistake. We could certainly order the stickies by bumping them with an extra post; "Selected as Top 10 Dynasty, ranked X" or something similar.

[Lamrock]

Sounds good to me. Thanks Andrew.

[Andrew]

Alright then, how about the top ten you suggested?

Andrew's Chicago Bulls (2004)
The X's Bobcats
The X's Blazers
Clutch's Rockets
Mafia's Answer Incomplete
Sit's A Legend Is Born
Homicide's Rise Up
Martti's Wizards
Chaser7's Clippers
Andrew's Bulls (2006)

Shall we rank them one through ten, or just have the winners on top (maybe in order of the NBA Live release) and the rest unranked as well?

[Lamrock]

This is sorted by Sit's tiers (winners, runners-up, high vote getters), then re-sorted by number of votes received. The tie-breaker after that was number of replies times number of views. The result is a very good list:

X's Bobcats
Clutch's Rockets
X's Blazers
Andrew's 04 Bulls
Sit's A Legend Is Born
Mafia's Answer Incomplete
Homicide's Rise Up
Martti's Wizards
Andrew's 06 Bulls
Chaser7's Clippers

[Andrew]

Looks good, that gets my vote.

[Fresh8]

And the icing on the cake is my suggestion to sticky Martti's Heat as well seeing that it won Dynasty of the Year 09. And we should keep sticking each year's Dynasty of the Year winner from now on.

[The X]

Where does Martti's Heat fit into the above rankings?

[Fresh8]

At the end?

That's why I think it should be no ranking.

[Andrew]

Sounds good to me. If everyone's happy with that, I'll go ahead and fix it up.

[kibaxx7]

IMO, the section should be renamed "Dynasty, Franchise & Association Hall of Fame". Who's with me?

Maybe when Sit's ALIB II ends.

[Andrew]

No, no need to do that. At some point, we'll create a separate HOF section for the Associations.

[Lamrock]

Meh, we can just pin his. It will be quite a while before we get more than one or two? HOF-caliber association.

[Andrew]

Certainly something we can do until such time as an Association HOF is warranted.

Getting back to this section, is everyone in agreement about the currently proposed list and arrangement of stickied threads?

[Lamrock]

I am.

[Fresh8]

I second.

[kibaxx7]

At some point, we'll create a separate HOF section for the Associations.

Even better

[Lamrock]

So I think the consensus opinion by the ranking dynasty-ers is to go for it.

[Andrew]

Indeed, I had actually meant to do it sooner; sorry about that. I've stickied and bumped them with notice about their ranking accordingly, seems to have worked out alright.

[Fresh8]

Looks great. Thanks Andrew.

[Lamrock]

Agree with the above poster. Its much appreciated. Congrats to The X on the consensus best dynasty ever.

[The X]

Agree with the above poster. Its much appreciated. Congrats to The X on the consensus best dynasty ever.

Thanks. Seems a bit funny as it was only the 3rd most popular dynasty that year. Guess I'm like a good Scotch that gets better with age Just to be in the top 10 is fine by me

[Martti.]

Thanks to everyone who voted for my stories.

Being on top with the best dynasties there were is an honor.

[Andrew]

My thanks to you guys as well, I'm certainly flattered to have two of my threads in there...even if I'd personally rank my 06 Dynasty before the 2004 one, though as I've said before I immensely enjoyed both.

[Clutch]

2nd - WOW! and the meat of an 'X' sandwich no less

seriously, i appreciate all who helped Yao, TMAC & Coach Jackson secure a lofty spot in the Top 10; keeping a dynasty going isn't easy (just ask TH50 ) but it's a labor of love when all is said and done

2nd - WOW! and the meat of an 'X' sandwich no less

Seriously though, I'm surprised my dynasties are rated #1 & #3 & personally I don't really think they deserve that lofty title. Am glad my Bobcats' one is rated higher than the Blazers' one as I am happier with that one of the two. That is one that I started that didn't get any support until I was a season in. I guess people didn't have time for a Bobcats' dynasty until Cocobee's finished. I still think if people saw Cocobee's now (with working pics), it would be ranked #1 or close overall. My Blazers' dynasty more or less leveraged its success off the Bobcats' one, so you have to looked at these things in context.

But yes, thanks for everybody who voted for my dynasty & the other guys. I still rate Cocobee's & Honor Glow's Live '04 dynasties as my favourites.
