Deisler26 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 True, but I really went blank If anyone has any better suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeeD Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 How about 'Best Long-Term Career'? And I think there should still be a Best Journeyman Career award as well (in the true sense of the word ) as that is one of the most popular career types.

Good shout. Little bit embarrassed that I went blank now... I'll look at that and see if I can add one. Lets be clear, you start automatic rep and unemployed yeah?

T3APOT Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Looking forward to voting. Got some reading to do first as I've not read them all... yet! It could be 'best fmcu one-team career' or similar to distinguish between the two, while if you include a journeyman career award you can use the 'best fmcu journeyman career' title you had above.

Raware Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Good effort Deisler . Great that you're able to do these awards so cheers . I'd just like to add that since I lobbied for this forum a year ago (was it really that long ago?!?! ), i'm delighted with the reaction it's got. We've had some great posters posting some really great careers and i've really enjoyed reading how people have gone on in their FM saves. This is exactly what I had hoped for when 'campaigning' so once again, i'd like to say thanks for all of those who've contributed to FMCU . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 How on earth can journeyman career award have two careers that have been at a single club, and a third where the player has only just moved to his second club after many seasons at his first?

Or am I just being blind? Oh and when did WH become a newcomer? He has been here for ages hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Again, newcomer was probably a poor choice of words, but it was meant to suggest that he hasnt received as much exposure as some of the more prominent members of the board. The reason why there's no voting instructions is because voting hasn't started yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 As I said above, it was a really bad choice of words. Truth is, I had my plans, but only half hour to type out what I needed to and I went blank for two of the normination titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangaea Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 You should really change the Journeyman title though. Fountain of Youth Award or some crap like that If there should be a Journeyman award, you need to choose actual journeyman careers. Ie, somebody with a pile of clubs under their belt in a lot of corners of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Is it possible to nominate some other threads for awards? There are a few that I have enjoyed reading that are missing. Sorry if I have missed the nominations stage or something. I'm coming to this a bit late. :o For what it's worth, a few that I might suggest adding in would be: - Alex Parker's Red and Blue Army by Hrbfcrule (which is a long-term one club save). - Continental Dominance - First New Zealand Then The World by Acidburn (a Journeyman save). - The fool wanders, the wise man travels by Iacovone (another Journeyman save). Another worthy of consideration under the journeyman career award would be Nobby's Football Manager Makes Me Curze. Those are just a few off the top of my head. I've just sorted the forum by 'replies' and 'views' to see which threads come up as being most popular. Some of the following might be worth looking into (these are just ones that haven't already been mentioned in this thread): - Fabio Crouchello - Taking England to South Africa 2010 by Crouchaldinho. - Knockbreda F.C - 1 Man. 3,000 Dreams by Nepenthez. - This is a Tribute - DodgeeD's World Tour by DodgeeD. - Crouchy's Calcio Journeyman Save by Crouchaldinho. - Crazy Canuck on Global Managerial Tour: Life Outside the Lower Leagues by Rancer890. So perhaps there are some more there for consideration. I'm sure that you probably had some of these in mind for the BEST FMCU CAREER. I'd also suggest having two separate awards for journeyman careers and one club careers, and then maybe another still for the 'fountain of youth' award, which would be for those saves that have just kept going and going way into the future. No criticism intended in this post by the way. Well done for getting it up and running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WH Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 After reading Crouchy's post I sorted by views instead of replies and there are 10 threads with over 8000 views. This forum really did take off this season. Good work everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Great post Crouchy. The reason why there were only three nominees for each award was that, on consulation with dafuge, we decided to hold a small affair this year in order to gauge interest and perhaps set the tone for future awards. I agree there are lots of careers that should have made it into the shortlists (and on a personal note, that I possibly could have been considered for more than one *embarrassed*) but to make a massive sprawling awards that might have fallen flat on it's face seemed a big risk. Your comments on the various titles have been taken on board, as have everyone's and I thank you all for the feedback you've given (mainly on my bad definitions ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
