ToMexico!! Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I am back after 2months of no internet as i moved into a flat with my gf. Still been playing FM, including saves with Horsham, Lubeck, Calais and a Singapore team. I'm looking to get back into a decent save that i can update in this forum and i've downloaded a created database where the Faroe Islands have been added instead of the Peruvian leagues. What are peoples views on making updates on a save in here with a Faroese team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 What are peoples views on making updates on a save in here with a Faroese team? Go for it This forum has no restrictions on edited databases or even using 'cheat' utilities. As long as you mention it in your opening post so people know what is going on then it's not a problem.

jackripper Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Right on Fm10 when its released im going to start a LLM type career which will hopefuly take me to the top. And well what would you say is the best way in writing up about it> Say play a month or two then right about it and post as an update or type it up on word then post as one? As your the ones hopefully going to be reading it i thought id ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollujo Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I would say it depends on how often you can post and keep it interesting. If I posted more than once a season, I wouldn't be able to think of anything to say! Whereas some of the guys on here can write really good threads updating after every match. It's down to personal preference really, just keep it interesting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As your the ones hopefully going to be reading it i thought id ask. Personally I keep it down to season reviews and major stories like job moves, stadium expansions etc. In my opinion, you should restrict yourself to the stuff people will be interested in since this forum is more about what is going on in your game than the writing style. I doubt that many people would be interested in constant monthly updates with every match result in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenthreeleader Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 We interrupt this discussion for a friendly word from your cousins at FMS. There was talk at one point about awards for this forum, after you get your feet on the ground a bit. To show you how we do it, you're invited to the 2009 FMS Awards Extravaganza, Beach Party and Clam Bake, to be held in our part of the forums on Sunday, 25th October beginning at or about 8:00 p.m. GMT. (Okay, maybe not those last two ....) Carry on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be good to have a thread start in here rather than just transferring a load of it from elsewhere. I'd really like to just have the one save all year this time around.

In FM09 that was King's Lynn, this time around it'll be Corby Town. So I'll be starting there on launch day with a view to that being my only FM10 save.

WH Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi Dafuge, Is your challenge likely to be set much lower down the non league pyramid this year considering the potential with the Competition editor?

That's not to say there won't be a challenge using the editor, just that I probably won't be involved in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeryk- Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Am stuck with who to do too, got three choices as I see it: 1. Spurs Pro - Glamourous, money to spend, no rules on Internationals Cons - Been there, done that, lacks a good challenge 2. Dafuge's Challenge Pro - Good community, challenging Cons - No International mgmt, no moving clubs 3. Career Game Pro - Can do what I want Cons - Lacks interest from others making it boring?

dafuge Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 2. Dafuge's ChallengePro - Good community, challenging Cons - No International mgmt, no moving clubs You could always start doing this, then stop and start moving clubs and taking on international jobs. International management is actually allowed once you have completed the challenge, I've had a pretty good international career alongside my Dartford game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Well because I've never done International management in FM09 for some reason; it's made me more interested in doing it this time around, so I'd want to do it from the start. However it going to be a couple of weeks before I start this game due to a holiday so I'll probably change my mind and do what you done with Dartford - plus if it goes as well as last year I'll not want to move clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeryk- Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 True MeLikeFM I think I'll stick with Dafuge's challenge but might still post updates about it in here as well like Dafuge did with Dartford, although it depends how much time I have to do proper updates. Currently plan to start as Truro, although if the rumours about their poor reputation are true then Tonbridge Angels will be my spare choice. Hopefully I won't change my mind now although it will be around two-weeks before I can play due to holiday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Have we had any more thought going into whether a Awards Ceremony is going to take place this year (unlikely I know) or next year? To be honest my opinion is that we have enough careers to begin an awards night, evan if it only covers a few catagories. eg: Best Career Best Writer Best Lay Out Rough suggestions but giving my idea on the subject..

PaulHartman71 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I don't think there's much point, this forum has only been up for a few months. I can't see the point in having an Awards Ceremony for the sake of having one, I think next year around the summer is the best time for award ceremonies as the game has been out long enough and there's still enough interest in it (this is what happens in the Challenges, Sign Up and Experiments' forum).

dafuge Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Have we had any more thought going into whether a Awards Ceremony is going to take place this year (unlikely I know) or next year? This forum has only been around for a few months, I think it would be much better to give it one full year before introducing an awards ceremony. Most of the threads in here are quite short or have been written retrospectively for games which have already been played, people haven't really had the opportunity to create brilliant career threads. A full year with FM10 will mean a whole load of new threads written 'live' from the very start, which will be a lot more interesting than what we currently have. I think this forum is really going to pick up once the new game is released, I expect a lot more active threads than we currently have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Another reason for waiting is that this forum doesn't have too many people following it at the moment, there only ever seems to be 3 or 4 people viewing it. An awards ceremony really needs a much bigger user base for it to work, which we may have after FM10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenthreeleader Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Pardon my butting in, gentlemen, but if you want a completely unsolicited opinion, you're probably a year or so away from being really ready for an awards presentation. Just a reminder also that the FMS Awards are being presented tonight at 8:00 p.m. GMT. As a way to get your thinking started should you go down that route, here's a reminder of the awards we're giving our writers: Best Short Story Best Challenge Story Best Super League / Fantasy Story Best Story Idea Most Missed FMSer (obviously you can't do this one yet) FMS Hall of Fame Voting Best International Management Story Best "Rest of World" Story (i.e. outside Europe) Best "Rest of Europe" Story (i.e. outside Home Nations) Best Celtic Story (and no, that's not Old Firm - it's Ireland and Scotland) Best English Story Best Story Character Funniest Story Funniest Writer Best Newcomer Story of the Year Writer of the Year FMSer of the Year Hope to see some of you there!
