rlipscombe Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 it was a good team and therefore made it doubly frustrating. am pleased we stayed up though - that would have hurt badly and harmed the Monkeys fortunes.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Fine recovery there you Monkeys. Still nothing from us? Does that make the season I did our last completed one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlipscombe Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 yeah it's all gone quiet full stop. anyone looking to take over the reins?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elnaith Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm also disappointed at no updates from Softies Hopefully someone will pick it up again. And nah PB, I did complete my season though somewhat rushed due to Holidays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Unfortunately I think I'm out of time to do another season. Now I'm back at work I don't have as much time for FM and at the moment I'm planning on spending what time I have on my T&M game until FM2011.

dafuge Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I guess this has died then? I hope not as i was enjoying reading about peoples efforts. Unfortunately it looks that way. People just didn't seem to have the time to commit to it this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elnaith Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 That's sad news, I think I will just proceed the softies on my own then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I may be able to squeeze one more season in with the softies if there is still interest... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlipscombe Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 it's a shame that this didn't take off like last year. just didn't see as though people were as interested. hopefully it might pick up again for FM11.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I enjoyed this despite the drop-off in interest, thanks everyone. As far as I'm concerned it remains one of the premier challenges on the board, but I do wonder if the increasing complexity and time taken to go through seasons could be a factor in the lower participation levels this year. I know I struggled to complete and document my season within two weeks, and I have plenty of free time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Is anyone interested in running this for FM2011? I don't really want to commit to it myself this year but if it goes ahead I'll probably join in at some point and complete a season (or two). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermybhoy Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I think Polar Bear has a point, it can take ages to get through a season now. Personally I now can't help but watch every game on key highlights in the 3D and it takes forever. I've still only completed about 12 full seasons on FM10 since it came out, although that is partly a big change in personal circumstances but also as you say due to it just being far more comprehensive and time consuming than ever. Certainly seems that most people give their season(s) the time and attention it needs to get anywhere, which seems to often be more than 2 weeks whereas people were banging them out in a few days no bother previously. Unfortunately I won't be running it this year either, have resolved to complete Dafuge's challenge for the first time in many years with FM2010 but only on the 10th season and in the Championship with Bradford PA despite starting about March, so thinking it could take some time yet. As such strongly resisting the temptation to buy FM11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elnaith Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'd definitely give it a shot for FM2011 I think it is a great concept and love to be part of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasy Chip Butty Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 What about shortening the distance the club needs to travel then? We start way down in the Blue Square North and South which used to be fun but with the challenges on this board nowadays, the promotion from non-league is a bit old hat. Could it be started in League 2 so that the teams hit the Premier League quicker which would add more interest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 One suggestion I'd have is that the thread title should make clear that it's a succession game. I think I was a board regular for two or three years before I thought to click on it. To my knowledge it's the only succession challenge there is - if this is explicit in the title it might draw more participants. I'm still enjoying FM2010 far too much to be concerned about getting the new one - poor SI, victims of their own success! - so I'm afraid I can't offer to run it either.

Holyehsauce Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I'd like to sincerely apologise to everyone who was involved in this challenge. I let you all down by not continuing with what I started which seems to be the story of my life. I'd rather not go into what happened due to personal reasons...
