Route to the Top - The Sign-Up

Hello all. This is my first sign-up so please be considerate and any suggestions that you think would improve the spectacle would be appreciated

This is essentially a battle between 13 strikers trying to fight their way to the top of the football pyramid. However, 3 spaces have been reserved for me, canvey!! and Circus Carnie. If one of you does not wish to participate, then please can you let me know ASAP, thanks Friendly banter is encouraged, although don’t turn on someone in a rage just because you are losing

Everyone will start the game at a random club. Each user will pick two numbers. The first between 1 and 6, the second between 1 and 24. These will represent the 24 clubs in each of the English Divisions between the Championship and the Blue Square North/South. Each division and team will be randomly decided a number and the user shall be placed at that club.

I shall also ask you to pick 3 attributes of your choice total, 1 each from technical, physical and mental attributes. Hidden attributes are not allowed. Pick a number between 1 and 5, these shall be random numbers, but will be anywhere between 1 and 20. The rest of the attributes shall be random.

PA and CA shall also be random. You shall have to pick a number between 1 and 10, with each digit representing 1 threshold of ability. Again, these numbers will be randomised using a random number generator.

At the end of each season, I shall provide screenshots of your player. You shall then have to choose 3 attributes, again 1 from each category. You shall then choose 2 further numbers. The first set, of 1 and 2, will contain a minus and a plus. The next set, between 1 and 5, will contain a random number. You must choose 2 numbers for each given attribute and the attributes shall be changed accordingly.

Updates shall be every half a season, but it is only at the end of season update when attributes can be changed. I shall try and do one update per week, but if it is not possible to do so, then I shall forewarn everyone.

To make this quick to run, the game shall be run on a small database with the English leagues loaded down to BSS/BSN and the Top Leagues Only from Scottland, Italy and Spain.

PS. I shall post my numbers before I use the random number generator to make things fair.

I have also made a facepack specifically for this sign-up containing regen faces, so you will be able to see yourselves in the game. I can guarantee that some of them are quite amusing and not all are taken from English regens, some are from other countries This means that you can all laugh at the person who has an Algerian haircut

I shall start on the database shortly as we already have a majority vote for patch 9.3.0 to be used.

as much as I disagree with 'excluding' people from sign ups, I have to agree with this, he hasn't posted once in my sign up.

I don't like doing it either but I have excluded one person from my sign-up because they did not post in my last sign-up and I don't want to waste my time for people not posting.

Hi Rob *Waves* As you are in here i thought i would tell you that unfortunately (for you) no-one has dropped out as of yet, i shall let you know if a space becomes availiable

Anyway, let's stop the off-topic posting shall we

I've added to my original post

OK, i shall do the draw for divisions and teams very shortly indeed.

EDIT: Sorry, it won't. I forgot that Circus Carnie hasn't signed up yet, which would result in an unfair advantage :o As i want to get this started ASAP, he has until tomorrow morning @ 10am to complete his sign-up form.

The others that have not made their additional corrections, please can you do so ASAP so this can get started. There is no set time limit, however if you take too long, i may start the game without you or replace you with someone else.

Thanks for your co-operation everyone

good good looking foward to it.

Sorry Demon, please read edited post I am not feeling very well, so i am error prone today However, i can officially reveal that the draw has been made for divisions with teams to be decided shortly. Once again, sorry for the dissapointment

Yeah, sorry about that mate. I am in the process of making all of the draws and will announce the results as soon as is viable
