Gameworld names and a chance to win a year's free FML!

[Bertie BG]

Check out the names of the first gameworlds after the relaunch and find out more about a chance to play FML free for a year by creating some of the new gameworld badges!

It's all on the blogs - http://blogs.sega.com/fml/2010/03/09...ears-free-fml/

Credit where it's due - awesome initiative. I hope you are not allowing the same person to win all 20 year's subscriptions though as Tweej's logos are pretty damn unbeatable!

We'll only be giving out one free sub per winner even if we choose multiple badges as we obviously can't be giving out 20 years free to one person! Not that it's not worth entering multiple ones, there's still the honour of having your work in the game

Hopefully we'll have lots of entries though so there will be a good variety of winners. I'd certainly like a good variety of different badges!

One small point - yes I am a pedant. All of the 6 domestic fas have 3 letter acronyms, bar one. Can that not be abbreviated to EFA?

Open FAs (OFA)
General FA (GFA)
Classic FA (CFA)
Vintage FA (VFA)
Dugout FA (DFA)
Extra Time FA (ETFA)

No gameworlds named after Brazilian players?

[Hugo kokinado]

what about Eusebio or Figo or Rui Costa or Futre, Joao Pinto, Baia.

[Dinamiteru]

A thing that could be very nice too is making some contest to create the FAs Major Trophies. Or give us a TrophyMaker as the badge one lol
Nice idea, , but as usual should be later reworkable inside each GW and each FA etc...
But I always like to see FA logos lol

Done, this is now called EFA rather than ETFA

[MyNameIsJohn]

A victory for pedancy! But should also help new users get to grips with which FAs are domestic. Excellent.

[nmoppa]

what about Eusebio or Figo or Rui Costa or Futre, Joao Pinto, Baia.

What about Cruijff, Van Basten, Van Nistelrooij, Van der Sar, Gullit, Rijkaard?

AND SO ON.

There is also NO UK player name, so why complain how a GW is called? I suppose they choose this naming just to avoid this discussion

[Wolfy-hun]

And what about Puskas?

[Bertie BG]

We've only got a few gameworlds to start with so we're limited to a few names, as we expand I'm sure there's plenty of room for a lot of these names to be considered and used. Suggestions welcome

Besides, who said they were named after the players you think they are? It could just be a coincidence

[Seanowoty]

With These GW's Is There Going To Be Different Types Like A Begginer Fanstacy GW Or Is It Gonna Be Mixed With People Who Already Have Skills From Previous GW's?

Ty Sean

P.S Sorry If This Have Been Discussed Before

Ty Sean

There are only two types of gameworld - Fantasy Players or Returning Stars. Both types allow skills to be taken with them.

[dwross]

400 x 400 take it these are pixels?

[Bertie BG]

400 x 400 take it these are pixels?

Yes, I meant to add that in to the blog - will do so now

[Seanowoty]

So Isn't Dat Abit Unfair For The New People Starting As Ppl Will Have An Advantage If They Have Skills Already?

This isn't the right thread for this discussion (there are others on this topic), but the skills system has been changed.

[Seanowoty]

Ok, Can U Link Me To A Thread That Tells Me The Skill Changes.

There will be a blog going up about it very soon.. keep an eye on here: http://blogs.sega.com/fml/

[David Bentley]

Not inspired by the GW names tho. Roy Wegerle is not exactly a legend. Where are Pele, Eusebio, Best, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Banks, Moore, Charlton, Hurst or even Rooney, Messi, Aguero, Kaka, Ronaldo to be current.

Haven't even heard of half those names.

[libbyshuss]

He is for me! It's about time we had an ex-Luton Town legend represented in FML! He was no Kingsley Black , granted, but I'll take it.

Just got to hope i end up in GW Wegerle now!

[Eldonko]

Cool idea! I suck at this but Ill make some anyway. Craig cant win all the free subs

[picotto]

nice one, ive made one for each of them , heres hoping on a free sub

[Gonzo67]

Could add the great McDonald to that list toon army legend deserve the recognition

The point was they're not supposed to cause too much bias because of a blasted name

[Chinchilla Gorilla]

Im disappointed that there isnt a John Terry GW

[Fyah]

hi, i read the conditions of context...and have an ask:

the symbol use to "creation of own badge, like...stars, balls....are AVAILABLE". Cause wanna know if they are SEGA property or another.
It's important before i post .THx for all. Believe in you bertie lol. Matthew

[Fyah]

sorry come back ......and the maximum size too possible

[Gerara]

Does Gameworld Ramos refers to Sergio Ramos or Juande Ramos?I think it is important for us to know it

[picotto]

can you also let us know when the winners have been announced ? :O

[Bertie BG]

Who said it's either?

We're going through all the entries as we speak - as soon as we have the results I'll let you all know!

[BuzzHazzelda]

Who said it's either?

i was thinking Tab Ramos ...

[Bertie BG]

We're going through all the entries as we speak - as soon as we have the results I'll let you all know!

I'll be announcing the winners on Monday!

We've chosen our favourites here in the team and they've just got to go through our legal department to make sure there's nothing copyrighted in them so we don't get sued!

There's some good one

Rob

[picotto]

boooooo ! i want to know if ive won or not

I'll chat with the team, but I don't see why not..

i find the posters pedantry typical, and SI's desicion to follow it only to be expected, but have we already forgotten EEFA, AEFA, MLFA, XEFA all of which were happily used.

and in days gone by we had WCA and CWA, both of which were a happy change from the '***** FA' template which is unimaginative and bland at best.

i would like to have thought SI could have put more consideration into finding names that didn't match the names we have used previously [CFA] and names which rolled off the tongue [OFA?]

and as for the utterly unconfoundable decision to rename SUPER as XFA, i am at a total loss!

i can only assume you are trying to capitalise on the percieved 'L33T'-ness of XFA and make SUPER more interesting. Its a bit like a spitting image sketch i recall, where they were trying to get a nickname for Steve Davis to make him sound more exciting and came up with Steve 'Interesting' Davis...

rant over

Sanchez one is same as the Ramos one!

[Bertie BG]

Sanchez one is same as the Ramos one!

They're not the same no. Similar style but that's because they were done by the same artist. I think both are great

EDIT: Oh I see, they linked to the same place. Have changed in the blog

[G.Wise]

All badges are great! well done guys!

5 badges from our Greek Gang artist ... dforlan9!

[debelitis]

[Mustang Shooting Stars]

Yeah I see it now lol. Wow, it's great. The best one I'd say. Nice work.

[robjas]

Been waiting days for spaces in a game world, why not just open a new one. Surely they are losing money? Any one have any news Thanks

[GuitarMan]

They will open a new GW when there is enough of a waiting list to fill a GW AND cover the expected loss from the other GWs. You may find season end and topping up the existing gws happens before a new GW. The reason for not just opening a new GW is connected with lessons learnt from this time last year when the original GWs were opened far too quickly.
