Survivor: FM 09 Edition

[roberto922]

Hello and welcome to Survivor: FM 2009 Edition, I'm your host Robert Jones. Tonight sees the beginning of a new era here on Survivor. 12 clubs have been created by South African multi billionaire Oshi Shalakoki, he has set aside £200 million to each of the clubs, to be spent as their trustees see fit.

Now heres where you come in, all 12 clubs require a trustee and the first 12 viewers to send their applictions into www.Imamug.co.nr will become trustee and founder of their very own club, it's an opportunity of a lifetime, will you take it?

Now it's time to throw some rivalry into the pot, the league will be split in half, 6 teams will make up the Bandits, the other 6 will make up the Pirates, after all trustees have been decided a draw will be made to see who goes where.

At the end of each season OShi will donate a further £40 Million to each group, the members of the groups will then decide what to do with the money (Put it in the transfer budget, wage budget, expand stadium etc.) and I will then fix it using FMM.

The £50m doesn't have to be spread out, if there's one club close to dominating and the group want to push it to the top they may put the majority on to that clubs shoulders and vice versa with struggling clubs.

So will you be the saviour of your chosen group or will you proceed to destroy any good work made by your fellow members? Only time will tell.

RULE CHANGES: last time this was attempted it was, in my opinion, tainted by the fact that so many teams were using up to a full team of wonderkid creations, as a result there will be a limit of TWO made up players, if anyone tries to use more than two it will be ignored and the money spent on that player will NOT be reimbursed to the transfer fund.

I want to keep this running properly this time instead of giving up due to the huge task of the last attempt, therefore this time there will be one task per season rather than one task per month, updates will be at the end of each transfer window and at the start of the season, these two changes should result in updates being more frequent and the sign up lasting to the end as it will be a much more manageable size for me.

Next, co-operation and interacting is a must, this sign-up depends on users interacting together well and having just one member of the group never posting can damage the team as a whole, to try to counter this I will only allow people that I know will post regularly or that posted regualrly in the previous iteration to sign up and if a user doesn't post within 4 days of an update they will be replaced.


Lastly, I would like to apologise to the patient members of the last version for its swift end, it was simply too much work for me at the time trying to maintain a demanding sign up and balance it with other things in my life, it had to take a back burner.

You want everything in the world right? Wrong. Nothing in this life is free, take what you need and leave it at that. All this will make sense once you've read the post after this so don't go getting in a huff!

Ok just gotta work on how much I can afford using the budget, easier in the edit function

Question: How do i get the CA of the Ass Man and players do I need to use an editor type program? Or can I just rank them in order of ones I want and then get you to tell me what else I can afford?

[james-99]

Reserving my place in this right now, ill try and understand it all in the morning but looks kinda good.

[roberto922]

[roberto922]

Just a note to everyone, I'm not taking reserve places, it's first come first serve

[TaylorB]

roberto, im a bit unsure about the squad? is it inside a budget and using players value? and how do i manage the budget?:S

[roberto922]

Yeah theres a £200m budget.

[roberto922]

Oh sorry the player values are based on CA

[Lower Leagues Rule]

So do I have to get the CA's from in the editor?

[TaylorB]

okay cheers can i get you to choose the squad at random as i cant use the editor?

[roberto922]

You can leave it blank TaylorB and the money will go in the transfer budget. Lowe Leagues Rule - yes you do

[TaylorB]

ahh okay, ill do that then

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Okies well at this point I will leave it blank. If I edit any players in, I will make sure that I post further down the page my edit date so it is fair to others and I can't just steal players other people mention

Okay

I intend to leave my squad free, (If that's ok Robert) So players will hopefully join my club when the game begins thanks to the huge reputation we have. It's a risk, But I am willing to take it, and with nearly 65 million to spend, I expect the club will pick up plenty of players with a good reputation and great skill base.

weeeman27bob - Lippi isn't on the DB, I think he's retired, I'm gonna add his cost back to your transfer budget unless you post a replacement

Task one

Start it mean, keep them keen. For the first challenge we will watch as competitors run through caves littered with critters, snakes and rats collecting stars, some of the gruesome tasks faced will include diving headfirst into an eel infested underground lake and diving down into the murky water to find three boxes, about the size of a fist, each will contain just one key to the chest, after that they will get their hands sticky as they go feeling around inside a cave wall, with rats, snakes and cockroaches in of course, 3 of the 6 will contain the remaining 3 keys, once all of the keys have been collected the competitors will then race towards the finish and insert the keys into each lock around the chest and will then receive their reward, but only if they do it quicker than the other teams of course.

Football Manager terms: The team (bandits, pirates or merchants) that collects the most manager of the month awards through the whole of the season will win the first task.

[Lower Leagues Rule]

I must say I am happy with the start by JBerg, hopefully it now pans out, as for my players I have to say impressed to see the loaning of Johan Carrosa, he is currently starring for my AD Fafe squad in my JoseRR's challenge and is definitely a great Keeper of the future, a little young right now, but hopefully the Jberg boys can sign him properly after the loan ends, once he sees our quality.

The rest of them looking good are these ones:

Rory McAllister - great start on the goal scoring if only his partner would join in
Tony Stevenson
Gavin McDonald
Jackie McNamara - Needs to kick his injury.
Kevin Smith - Haha Silent Bob strikes back.
Mark McLaughlin

Nice first up challenge, just interestingly, why do the Pirates only have 3 teams? hopefully we can achieve the goal even with this.
Go The Pirates, we have a good start lets just keep on plugging, 4th, 6th and 10th. No one in serious trouble, but no one competing we need to improve that.

[roberto922]

Eurgh, I forgot jack.brownes side I'll do it now

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Thanks Roberto haha, its no problem I was just confused after checking that out

[roberto922]

Fixed it now

[roberto922]

The results are in and the votes are counted, who will be the first team to receive a strike against their name? Don't forget that 3 strikes means you are out so this really does matter, the result show will be on in an hour after Heartbeat, we look forward to seeing you.

[Lower Leagues Rule]

I will be back after House here :P

[roberto922]

Ok the team with the most keys at the end of the first task was........







The Merchants!

Congratulations to the Merchants, you made a fantastic team effort and walked away with all 6 keys and the special reward.

This means that it's between the bandits and the pirates for the first strike. The team in second place is........






The Pirates!

Congratulations, you are safe for now but that means that members of the bandits will take a reputation hit of 500 each.

Oh noes!

I'll have Training facilities +5 please Roberto.

[weeeman27bob]

Just found out I won the league! Thats the first time I've ever achieved something like that in a sign up!

Thanks to Aguero and Bojan!

[roberto922]

And now it's time for the big one, the eviction vote. You've all been voting for the last half 30 minutes for who you want evicted and now the votes are in, I can now confirm that the club you are sending home, after just one day in the jungle, is.......


TaylorBs FC Astra!

Robert: Really sorry mate, how does it feel to be evicted on the first day?

TaylorB: Well obviously I'm gutted that I'm out first, let's face it it is the nightmare scenario when you go into a reality show, on the other hand I gave it my best shot but in the end I obviously wasn't good enough so at least I haven't grown too attached to my teammates, I'd like to wish the whole of Team Bandits luck and I wish them all the best in the competition.

Robert: Well that's all we have time for tonight but tune in tomorrow when we'll be back with more thrills and of course a new task and the all important eviction, thank you for tuning in and see you next time on Survivor: FM Edition.

Football Manger terms: FC Astro were the team that finished lowest.

Sorry TaylorB for your very short participation in the sign-up, the rest of the updates will be slower to allow people a chnce to get into the sign-up properly but I wanted to get the first one out of the way.

[roberto922]

weeeman - yup you were strong all the way through, your team mates sok astral nearly took the title though tbf

[JSalter]

9th place, at least I've stayed up. Interesting policy by the manager, signing 1 player Hope the Bandits can do better in the next task.

At least my created player was 2nd top goalscorer, the one positive from the season.

[roberto922]

You should feel sorry for the team whos manager signed 4 goalkeepers and nothing else

[JSalter]

Maybe the manager felt it would be a problem position and wanted some cover

[roberto922]

Yeah now the other 10 positions are problem positions Amazingly Haowans Galacticos have also signed just 3 goalkeepers as well

[JSalter]

Must be a new formation, having the keeper in goal as normal, and then 2 'sweeper-keeper's' strolling around the area as cover

[Benjaminoo]

Brum Tum have signed some really good players, hope we can buid on this. Also a good manager in Mark McGhee.

KUTGW Roberto

[Lower Leagues Rule]

I want Sweeper Keepers maybe they can back up Carrasso, c'mon for the big off-season signing.

[james-99]

third finish isn't bad, best of the bandits . loving the challenge, one small problem my team colours were all the wrong way round, but apart from that great work roberto, will be tuning in later for day 2.

[roberto922]

Sorry about the kits mate, alot of people tend to get mixed up choosing the foreground/background kits so I usually go for what looks best in my opinion if the results look a bit strange to me but if I can I'll change them round for you

[roberto922]

The next season will be tomorrow at the earliest because I want to give everyone a chance to read it and I need the responses from the other 3 merchants before I can continue

[weeeman27bob]

Sorry about the kits mate, alot of people tend to get mixed up choosing the foreground/background kits so I usually go for what looks best in my opinion if the results look a bit strange to me but if I can I'll change them round for you

My 1st kit looks good, my 2nd kit is alright, and my third kit is bloody awesome.

[jack.browne]

Excellent work so far mate, KUTGW!
And good idea for the first challenge!

[tomsmith1989]

Phew. Survuved this year. After the first part of the update I had lost all 3 games.Was thinking it would eb a struggle, but it seems the team turned it around ok.

Loving Gordon Strachan at the helm. No manager of the months for him though. Shame.

Great work roberto

[PluckaDuck]

What an abolute disaster, I put all my faith in....... Frank Rijkaard, Only for him to sign me....... 4 players, and lead me to...... 2nd last on the table. WHat a horrible start. Expecting big things in the next season otherwise I predict to be evicted very very very soon!

However Robert, You would do so much better than Frank Rijkaard KUTGW Mate!

[Haowan]

Great season! =)
above my expectations (esp with such a small squad)
but Haowan tore up the league, top scorer!

as for the prize, if Haowan's contract is less than 3 years then I'll have +2 years on his contract, if it isn't then I'll have +10,000 for stadium seating.
thanks and KUTGW!
