PaulHartman71 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 not really sure there's any point in their being an 'awards' for this forum until sometime next year, but would encourage it if it were to happen next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I would give a thumbs-up to an awards ceremony, definitely. I think it really helps to build a spirit of community, as it certainly has in FMS. I agree with with this, end of the year awards would be best.

arsenal_2111 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 For me, end of release (so September time) would be best. That way you could make it more FM specific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxonaitor Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 CSE has awards too. I'd be happy to pick some other members to run them with me. Perhaps 1 a year, at the end of each calendar year, or do it like CSE, and run the awards with each new FM release.

PaulHartman71 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Aren't the CSE awards monthly? no, you might be confusing it with the monthly thing that used to happen where as a community there would be a crossword/wordsearch/weeman creating everyone and doing a one month England National team sign up.

Purefun Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Another 2 questions -1. What is the rule regarding multiple careers? 2. Should their be a awards thing, much like the stories forum (I think) for best read etc 1. You can have multiple threads, just stay active i'd say. 2. Awards aren't a problem either, maybe start half of september. Nep you can contact me through PM or hotmail maybe if you want to do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenthreeleader Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 For the record, the FMS awards are generally in September. Clarification: the FMS awards nomination and voting begin in September. Our actual ceremony last year was on 26 October. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacemaker7 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Clarification: the FMS awards nomination and voting begin in September. Our actual ceremony last year was on 26 October. Yup FMS awards are now towards the end of October, used to be late December early January but we moved it to coincide more with the FM year. Awards are fine, but in a forum as new as this they are a bit pointless until next year really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raware Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yep, i'd probably agree. Whilst awards would be nice, in my opinion it would be a bit too soon for this forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ha ha...i'm sure you'd love it Hursty! Currently there are 38 'live' threads. Whilst this is encouraging especially with the forum being so new, in my opinion it's not enough to be handing out awards yet. Hopefully, in a few months the forum will catch on more so and more people will post, enabling there to be more 'contenders' for awards if awards are to be given.

Saxonaitor Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 In my view though, the less threads there are, the more chance I have of winning So in all fairness, let the awards begin! (P.S: Raware, you would probably win the award if it was given out now so keep quiet ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacemaker7 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Seriously, you're just being silly if you think you should have awards any time before next October. There's no value in an awards ceremony that takes place weeks after a new forum starts at all. The forum isn't about winning awards, its about recording career games. Let the forum actually get a life before jumping into anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 would like to repeat what I said earlier not really sure there's any point in their being an 'awards' for this forum until sometime next year, but would encourage it if it were to happen next year.

It would be silly to have awards any time soon. As he said, the forum isn't about winning awards (although it would be nice), it's about recording career's and hopefully building a community with people who share the same passion in playing fm the 'career way'.

PaulHartman71 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 the focus for the next few months is surely going to be progress for the overall forum, on average there's about 5 people viewing the forum at anyone time (just going on when I go in this forum, or CSE), as the months go on this forum can only grow into a bigger and better place for all involved.

NepentheZ Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 A question for my followers. If a team that has never [or rarely] been in the N. Irish leagues gets promoted, should I take over them, and play with 2 clubs? It would add a little excitement, perhaps, if I could fast track them to the NIP, and a team as good as mine, and do it with a few others over the next 15-20 seasons, to make the league more competitive, the quality of N. Irish players a lot better, and hopfully really start bringing up the coefficients and world rankings of N. Ireland.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'd make two saves the same, and take the second job on one. That way, if you don't enjoy it, you can carry on like normal. Not too realistic, but better than ruining a save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxonaitor Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just a quick poll here for those of you that have read my thread. Is there anything that makes it unattatractive or bad.

PaulHartman71 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I think your style is good, and you shouldn't make any significant changes to how you do your updates just to attract more comments. I read a lot of the Careers in here, but don't always comment, that's not because they're bad, but generally depends what mood I'm in, whether I'm just reading it to past time of uploads etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I agree with Paul. I also read a lot of the careers on here and don't always comment. Sometimes you are enjoying the career but you can't always think of what to say. You can't always keep writing 'keep up the good work' all of the time. On another subject, I was thinking of creating a career thread of my own at some point in the near future. Can anyone tell me how I can embed an image in a post? I just want to be able to put a club badge up like the rest of you have. C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to you how you tell your story and tell it which ever way suits you best. Whilst it's nice to receive comments from other's, it's not the be all and end all. As Paul and C. said, i've also read every thread on this forum and am enjoying each one for their own reasons but i don't comment on every one. I wouldn't want to comment on every one saying KUTGW as it would just turn into spamming. I'm enjoying your thread the way you're doing it.
