[roberto922]

[roberto922]

Anyone that has a ? next to their name has not given me a season review or I cannot find it, you have until Midnight tonight to hand in your season review. The following have special dispensation due to late entry or holiday, meaning that they will be able to complete challenge 1 alongside #2 but they must both be handed in by 12 noon next Sunday:

Bealesy
Adam C
Spartans5

[mikeytwigge]

Adam C has handed in his review so you dont need him on the special dispentions list

Duno if this counts as points but beat zurich 3 out of 4 and drew once with them.
You said beat them both times? Did you mean both times away? Did you mean twice?

As you can see my season wasnt great but we did have some good times and i enjoyed the challenge. Its a pity Xamax didnt lose the last game of the season or we would have come second. Was very tight.

Sorry for short update been a very busy day.

[Dale0718]

Thanks for a great challenge :D

[glennuk]

Also do i just load all german leagues?

[Man U King]

quick question for game 2 what is the game star date feb 2007 or feb 2008

[roberto922]

Your choice Man U King, thanks for that Glennuk I'll give you the points for beating Zurich twice as I thought that you only played each team twice and the deadline was Midnight.

[Mistryman]

roberto- you can give my place up to anyone else as i havent had time to complete any challenges

[roberto922]

Yeah just German leagues Glennuk

[roberto922]

You can just put it as a defeat if you want? and then just carry on with #2 and #3?

[Man U King]

Your choice Man U King,

It has to be 2008 :cool: plus There is no chance of getting in euro cup unless you get lucky or start at a differant start point of a differnt league

I will start this later or tommorow as I'm watching Man U vs Portsmouth

Win Euro 2008: 100 Points
Final: 80 Points
Semi Finals: 50 Points

One of your players scores more than 5 goals in the tournament: 10 Points
Win every remaining qualifier: 10 Points
Don't concede any goals in the remaining qualifiers: 20 Points
Win the final by more than 3 goals: 30 Points.

All I have on right now is Firefox, iTunes, and FM...of course, my internet connection has been crap the last few days...

[roberto922]

FMs going really slow during matchday atm for some reason, but I've got my usual running at the same time (WoW, Toffeeweb, SI forums etc.) so I don't get why it's going so slow :(

[rancer890]

Actually, it's only the SI Forums. Everything else I usually go on loads a lot quicker...so I have no idea why only the SI Forums have these problems:(

I always run a lot of leagues in the game (except these challenge games, and FM08 A New World Challenge), so I actually finish a season quicker than usual:D

[weeeman27bob]

FMs going really slow during matchday atm for some reason, but I've got my usual running at the same time (WoW, Toffeeweb, SI forums etc.) so I don't get why it's going so slow :(

If i ran WoW and FM on my laptop at the same time ( not that i play WoW anymore) it would die!

That said, i do have a friend who's laptop has better specs than mine and yet is terrible. For example his laptop is meant to be a media/gaming laptop and it lags playing music! let me say that again, it lags playing music!

Lol, wasn't using my head. I went out for whole of monday, came back, and there was so much pages more, but I didn't know as I clicked 'last page'. I have just read my challenge, and can't say im overconfident, but you never know. C'mon Achen!(or whatever their names are)

[roberto922]

Aach no Laddie! It's Aachen (the pun'd be better if it was Achen though :D)

[Adam C]

lol roberto. Im gonna start season with Aachen now.

[dafuge]

It's a bit daft though, it's the only CSE Championships on the forums so it's free to be the official one :(

Maybe it's me being fussy but I hate it when people put 'official' in thread titles. Perhaps it's something that stems from OTF where a lot of threads have *official* in the title despite not actually being official in the slightest, It's almost a bit of a running joke there.

[roberto922]

Alright then Daf, I think it sounds better now after the rename without the Challenge bit, it sounds less clunky to me (even if it does upset Rancer :D) Any news on the career forums or save game threads Dafuge?

[dafuge]

The career forum is just in the ideas stage, there's no guarantee it will get the go ahead. As for the save game threads, that will go ahead but not until FM09.

[roberto922]

Oh well I might just do what Man U Kings done and post a few now and then but I'm definitely looking forward to the Save game thread.

[dafuge]

Oh well I might just do what Man U Kings done and post a few now and then but I'm definitely looking forward to the Save game thread.

Feel free to, I'm more than happy for people to start them in the meantime for FM08.

[mikeytwigge]

hargreves got injured in training just before the croatia game so gareth barry has been called up as a replacement

[mikeytwigge]

england 3 croatia 0 goals from rooney (1) owen (18) and lampard (50) secure the win

[mikeytwigge]

glen why you taking this so seriously mate its just a game its not like your going to die just cause he holidayed for 1 challenge.

[mikeytwigge]

unfortunately i have been seeded top for the draw as i am now ranked no.2 in the world which means i cannot get greece austria or switzeland

[mikeytwigge]

i have the group of death england france germany and scotland

[roberto922]

Look Glennuk I value your input into making this a lively thread so I have a proposal. I will pm Weeeman and tell him to redo the challenge by Sunday alongside #2, will this keep your face straight mate?

[roberto922]

And about the ''babyish'' comment, I was tired and fed up, my apologies are due I think.

[glennuk]

This will be fair if he can prove he hasn't holidayed, i also propose that a set of rules are made up, which would help the challenges be adhered to.
Also i will delete my previous posts, and accept your apology. I also hope this doesnt affect my standings in this thread with other members, but i do always stand by my cause.

PS: Cant delete them oh well! Will post in sign ups though.
PSS: Also if anyone doesn;t want me to continue to participate please dont hesitate to tell me, after all everyones opinions do count.

[roberto922]

How do you propose we prove he han't holidayed Glenn? Words mean nothing if you can't bac them up, I'll pm him in a minute telling him the news but there is no way that I can think of where we can know that he hasn't holidayed.

[glennuk]

I think we should eb able to take peoples words for it. But if not the Game Status screen could be posted showing how long it has taken. For example i just for a test went on holiday for the first two months of the season with FC Bayern and it took 8 minutes, now if i palyed the game properly then it would take at least 2 hours (Especially seeing as these were the first two months of a new game)

So if someone finished there season in like 2 hours then its pretty unrealistic. I mean i dont think it will come to that, i expect everyone to be honest about it, and dont think anyone would intentionally cheat cos once again that would go against the whol idea of this challenge.

[roberto922]

That'll have to do, I'll put a notification up in a bit stating the new rules.

[Adam C]

Does it matter if you holiday between the games? As i did that with Greece. I played every game, but after each game I would holiday till the next, which is why I finished mine so quickly. Does that matter? Sorry if it does.

[roberto922]

No, holidaying between games is perfectly alright.

Question, by 'Maintain a bank balance over 4 million' do you mean we have to have over 4 million throughout the whole season? Or just at the end? As i've started with a bank balance just over 2 million?

[roberto922]

finish with 4 million

[Adam C]

ok, Doesn't look possible at the moment though lol.

[Adam C]

Pre-Season Friendlies


Aachen 2 - 3 Pasching/Wallern
Ulm 0 - 8 Aachen
Eintracht Braunschweig 3 - 3 Aachen
Kvsk 1 - 1 Aachen
Aachen 2 - 3 Sint-Truiden

Not the best pre-season, but It could be worse. (highly doubt it though.) Just friendlies though, who really cares? I made no transfers lol, as my wage budget doesn't look good, and I barely have any cash to spend anyhow. But I plan to win the whole league.

[glennuk]

Good luck adam, im around a third of the way through the season and its been a mixed performance so far.

The bank balance of over 4 million looks unlikely, unless i get big money transfer offers in Jan.

[Adam C]

Same to you glennuk, where are you in the table?

So far I've played 2 competitive games:


(Cup) Havelse 1 - 4 Aachen
(League) Offenbach 3 - 3 Aachen (stupid last minute goal :(

Early signs are that my defense is dire while my attack is great.

First game: 3-3

[weeeman27bob]

Dont think so, not much point seeing who is the best manager when all you have to do is press go on holiday and hope you assman does a good job.

He also posted on the 27th which meant he had the 28th still to actually play, but no he went on holiday.

If there aint any rules there isn't any point.

If the same thing happened to you, you wouldnt have allowed it.

It will become pointless if all people do is go on holiday. Then how is it that WEEMAN beat me, as he did nothing except sign three players. Even if he played 10 games i would have been happy with it, but he himself said he holidayed every game.

PS: Also the fact weeman had since the 20th to start the game, and i didnt join until the 22nd. Which means he had more time than me anyway.

If he couldnt do it in time then he should lose the match.

Also i spend liek 8 or 9 hours playing a game only for it to count for nothing because an assman beat me.

Ridiculous as i thought this whole challenge was based on Player Vs Player.

Very poor if Weeman does get the win in our match and even poorer if it continues.


I can see completely where your coming from.
I didn't holiday to try and win.
I holidayed to get my result in on time because i went away unexpectadly.
I posted on the 27th thinking i'd have missed the deadline.
I didn't have a hope of getting my result in on time unless i holidayed as it takes me lots of time to complete a season.
Had there been a rule against holidaying, i would not have done it.

I'm perfectly happy to let you win

[roberto922]

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you Glenn, Weeeman has been very helpful over this and has decided to forfeit this match to you.

[mikeytwigge]

england have qualified for the knockout stages along with there next opponents France

[mikeytwigge]

england 2 france 3 england go 2 goals up thanks to rooney (2,6) before losing the lead. More bad news as ashley cole is out for 6 days which means he will miss the game against holland leaving lescott as our only left back

[mikeytwigge]

a 2-1 loss to holland means i am likely to be out of this now. I will post screenshots at a later date although my only hope to stay in this tournament is either weeman not to beat me (extremely unlikely) or adam beats glenuk and weeman and i beat glenuk which would then leave the table as adamc 6 me glenuk and weeman on 3. in which case i do not know how you will decide who goes through as you cant do it on points scored in championships as some challenges have a lot lower points than others. The only solution i could see would be is to put all 3 into a decider single challenge or put all 3 into the next round and have a 4 way match in which only 1 gos through. Also when will the next challenges be posted as i go away on the 3rd until the 10th so i may need some special dispention or to be given the challenge early like you gave someone else. I wouldnt if it turs out that i get a few days before the holliday for this challenge and a few after for the next one as i do not need the full time period

[roberto922]

It would be decided by a short term challenge Mikey, probably less than 10 matches

[mikeytwigge]

kk glad to know that. Go Adam C

just a quick question, how come tottenham aren't available for the penetrate the top 4 challenge?

[PaulHartman71]

I'd like to 'resign' or 'retire' from the challenge, I don't have enough free time to complete my current 'Norwegian Challenge' within the time limit, so it seems pointless to stay in the challenge. Good Luck with the rest of the challenge though :thup:

[roberto922]

Okay then mate, I've got someone waiting anyway.

[Man U King]

Man U King: I'm making a DB with a new Wrexham United side in the BSN, do you want me to upload it for you? I'm thinking of making it into a challenge.

yes please sounds good :thup:

[Man U King]

It's about a month in btw, the Db was 102 mb whereas the save file was 43mb so I've just uploaded the save game.

:D that won't work you need the db to play the save

it's ok:thup:

[roberto922]

Nah you don't, the save files got all the db in it but it's compressed, that's why it's so much smaller, anyway it's not uploading for some reason, sorry mate

[roberto922]

Yeah because all the 11th placed sides are challengers for the top 4 :rolleyes:

[mikeytwigge]

you cant have teams added part way through a challenge your probably only asking because you already have a save game where you have done it with them.

[roberto922]

Mikeys right, I've given you plenty of choices including the Mighty Everton, Mikeytwigge, I'll send you the next challenge in a bit, I have to come up with it first lol

[weeeman27bob]

a 2-1 loss to holland means i am likely to be out of this now. I will post screenshots at a later date although my only hope to stay in this tournament is either weeman not to beat me (extremely unlikely) or adam beats glenuk and weeman and i beat glenuk which would then leave the table as adamc 6 me glenuk and weeman on 3. in which case i do not know how you will decide who goes through as you cant do it on points scored in championships as some challenges have a lot lower points than others. The only solution i could see would be is to put all 3 into a decider single challenge or put all 3 into the next round and have a 4 way match in which only 1 gos through. Also when will the next challenges be posted as i go away on the 3rd until the 10th so i may need some special dispention or to be given the challenge early like you gave someone else. I wouldnt if it turs out that i get a few days before the holliday for this challenge and a few after for the next one as i do not need the full time period



Just as a note, i'm currently qualified for the euros, but have gone futher yet as i've been concentrating on my story

[mikeytwigge]

thats alright if its another international one will only take me a few hours if it a league probably a couple of days.

Weemn if you want to throw the group that would be nice

Oh,lol. I thought i'd beaten you. I might have some bonus points as well then. I didn't bother to check last time as i thought you'd gone out in the group stages, giving me an easy win

Did England have one loss to start with?
