Goldy Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Well its sad news that your gonna call it a day Nuno at the end of your current season. I mean there's still over 1 1/2 months before CM4 comes out too. Come on, treat your group to at least another season mate, i really enjoy reading this thread and it would be a real shame if you closed it all down with so much time left, you know you want to win another league If your not going to play on (im sure everyone in your group would like to) then, Well done mate for organising a fantastic game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Cheers Goldy but this is really our last season. It wasn't my own decision but a collective decision. Some of us are a bit tired of CM3 and I for instance, need some time to myself, not worrying about having to be online twice a week for 4 or 5 straight hours not giving attention to other things that deserve it more than a computer game. Three months away from playing online will only make us good IMO. To be honest, I would have closed it a couple of months ago but Steve threatened me to pull a bat up my night dress, so I had no chance but keep this going. Anyway, considering the slow pace that this season is moving we might not get it finished before CM4 is out which would be quite embarassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get them promoted and have them battling for Europe is a fantastic aheivement IMO and with so few games of the season to go it is definately possible. Blads Newcastle will win the last ever season in NWCM and it's about time. He's been there or there abouts for a while now and he deserves to win a title. Steve's Sunderland are a little hot and cold this season and that's why they won't win it. Nuno's Fulham lie third I think and maybe he could've won it if he were Spanish Lee's trying to fight relelgation with Arsenal and I think NWCM may have finally found a worse manager than me!

Jone Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Kidderminster staying up or going down? This season has been a bit up and down for me. I was 9th for a while and kept myself at at least mid-table. Now I am however on a really bad run and it really looks as if I'm going to be relegated, which would be my first ever on CM actually I've gone 8 games without a single win now, only collecting 1 point which is quite pathetic. My team consists of players who are either past their peak or yet to get to it. The fact that I've spent £1.8m bringing in 14 players shows how little money I have, and the reputation of the club has made it difficult to find anyone decent to join. It seems as if my midfield of Ortega (35), Jensen (32) and Del Piero (35) just doesn't make the cut in the prem and also my defence is ****e and the keeper isn't even 3rd division quality. Even though I feel I should be staying up the realistic possibilty of that happening is very little. I am however hoping for the best and 3 victories in the remaining 7 games could well be enough to keep us up. Looking forward to the next session and I know the lads will get a good laugh of me getting relegated so they'll have even more fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 NWCM is over and Bladzej Youwontspell it is the final champion That's right, we ended hostilities tonight and our Polish friend, Blad whateverhislastnameis, just won the title on an epic end of season. Before the last round there were 4 teams separated by only 2 points, Blad's Newcastle was one point above Sheff Wed and WBa and two points above me (Fulham). By winning his last game at Leeds 2-0, Blad was crowned champions with his team, Newcastle, for great disappointment of our resident mackem, Steve. Fulham lost his game to WBA and finished in 4th. Steve (Sunderland) saved his honour by finishing one spot above Mike (West Ham). They were 6th and 7th respectively. Lee saved Arsenal from relegation finishing 17th and Jone saw the mighty Kidderminsters being relegated Final Table: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> ************************************************************************************************ English Premier Division - Sunday 23rd May 2010 ************************************************************************************************ ================================================================================================ 2009/0 Table ================================================================================================ Pos Team Pld Won Drn Lst For Ag Won Drn Lst For Ag Pts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st C Newcastle 38 14 4 1 48 17 9 3 7 25 14 76 <----- DKA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Sheff Wed 38 16 1 2 40 15 7 6 6 28 24 76 3rd W.B.A. 38 15 4 0 35 7 8 1 10 17 24 74 4th Fulham 38 10 4 5 34 23 12 2 5 37 30 72 <----- Nuno Santos 5th Middlesbrough 38 9 7 3 28 13 10 2 7 30 21 66 6th Sunderland 38 11 3 5 33 19 8 5 6 36 34 65 <----- MACKEM 7th West Ham 38 7 6 6 28 19 6 9 4 17 14 54 <----- HL7 8th Man Utd 38 6 6 7 23 23 7 5 7 22 24 50 9th Southampton 38 7 6 6 26 20 6 5 8 21 30 50 10th Watford 38 7 6 6 24 26 5 6 8 17 25 48 11th Leeds 38 8 3 8 24 24 4 7 8 16 26 46 12th Chelsea 38 8 6 5 29 19 4 3 12 17 32 45 13th Coventry 38 5 6 8 25 27 6 6 7 17 20 45 14th Blackburn 38 9 4 6 19 17 3 5 11 18 35 45 15th Tottenham 38 7 4 8 25 25 5 3 11 23 27 43 16th Aston Villa 38 7 6 6 27 20 3 6 10 18 29 42 17th Arsenal 38 5 5 9 27 32 5 6 8 23 30 41 <----- we8parkin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18th R Kidderminster 38 4 4 11 20 32 6 5 8 26 37 39 <----- AS Roma 19th R Nottm Forest 38 7 4 8 26 27 3 3 13 13 45 37 20th R Millwall 38 5 4 10 17 32 3 5 11 16 37 33 </pre> Top Scorers: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Pos Player Club Apps Gls ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Jeremie Aliardiere Fulham 28 (4) 28 * 2nd Steffen Iversen West Ham 27 (4) 17 * 3rd Alan Smith Sunderland 27 (5) 16 * 4th Ruud van Nistelrooy Man Utd 38 15 5th Måns Sörensson Tottenham 24 (8) 15 6th Thierry Henry Fulham 27 (4) 14 * 7th Wayne Knapper Sunderland 37 (1) 14 * 8th Bosko Balaban Aston Villa 38 13 * 9th Peter Crouch Sheff Wed 28 (2) 13 10th Lars Iver Strand Sheff Wed 23 13 </pre> Total 0wn4g3 by Alardiere Assists: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Pos Player Club Apps Asts ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Brian Allen Newcastle 29 12 * 2nd Jesper Grønkjær West Ham 37 11 * 3rd Jon Ahlberg Sheff Wed 36 10 4th Pablo Aimar Fulham 23 (7) 10 * 5th Ian Armstrong Chelsea 35 (1) 9 6th Nano Aston Villa 17 (14) 9 7th Marco Elzinga Sheff Wed 37 9 8th Wayne Knapper Sunderland 37 (1) 9 * 9th Youssouf Hersi Arsenal 37 9 * 10th Simão Middlesbrough 16 (9) 9 </pre> Average rating: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Pos Player Club Apps Av R ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Jeremie Aliardiere Fulham 28 (4) 8.16 * 2nd Pontus Farnerud Sunderland 24 (4) 7.89 * 3rd Mike Duff Fulham 28 7.86 * 4th Fernando Morientes W.B.A. 24 (2) 7.81 5th Andriy Nesmachny Sunderland 34 7.79 * 6th Brett Emerton Sheff Wed 30 7.77 7th Peter Crouch Sheff Wed 28 (2) 7.73 8th Luca Toni Aston Villa 23 (1) 7.67 9th Roque Santa Cruz Sunderland 28 (1) 7.66 * 10th Jermain Defoe Middlesbrough 34 7.65 </pre> See you in CM4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 NWCM CLAN - FINAL WORDS, GREETINGS AND GRATITUDES April 2002. Three guys, A Finnish, a Russian and a Portuguese meet in a mirc room called #mafia with the purpose of playing online with other three guys in the newest Mafia Clan. They were part of Group 2 of Mafia and in a time when CMO was still IGO and the Scottish Clan was like an oasis in a desert, they found the opportunity to test their skills against other human managers. They played for three sessions just the three of them, no one else was really committed to that game or cared to show up except for the third session when there was a fourth element whose name I can’t recall. Then on a Sunday afternoon whilst playing their Serie A game, Jone, the Finn, private messaged Nuno suggesting that the three of them should start their own clan. Soon, Nuno created a new room called #conspiracy (so that the other guy wouldn’t now what was going on) to discuss the creation of a new clan and in 5 minutes the whole thing was set up. They would play the English Premier League with mid table clubs, Jone would be the host as he had by that time the fastest machine and Nuno would start a new thread asking people to apply for the new game. Alex, the Russian agreed to design a website where updates and screenshots would be posted. From the first few applicants, they decided that Mike and Sam would be the chosen ones. So, they played their first session of NWCM Clan with 5 members: a Portuguese, a Russian, a Finnish, a Scottish and a Swedish. Hence we called it “Nations Wideâ€. A new clan was arising and history was about to be made within CMO community. That was how it all started nine months ago and now we decided to put an end to our game. We were enjoying this game as much as we enjoyed it in the beginning but everything has to come to an end and most of us felt this was the right time. CM4 will arrive soon and now it’s a good occasion to have a break from CM and dedicate our time to other activities. We’ve had a wonderful experience during this time, actually I had no idea that our game could get so big, would last for 9 seasons and that our thread would reach these colossal proportions with 35 pages, over 2000 replies and 15000 views. This was an experience that I’m sure the most hardcore players that passed through NWCM Clan will not forget so soon. Yes, we’ve had over than 20 people playing with us during this period of time, some had to leave because of their personal lives, others had to be kicked for not fulfilling what we, as a clan, considered to be the requisites for a clan member. But there are a few, the hardcore ones that I’d like to give my especial thank you (in no particular order): Jone, Mike, Alex, Steve, Stewy, John, Kev and Blad. Surely they’ll be the first names that come to mind the day we decide to come back as a clan, probably a couple of months after the release of CM4. My word of appreciation goes also to Kris and Lee that regardless not staying as much time with us as the ones mentioned above they proved to be good people and reliable players. Above everything, what will remain in my recollections is the companionship that I’ve made with the people mentioned above. I enjoyed a lot more the entertaining chats we’ve had online whilst playing (well a couple of fights happened too but that was part of the plan ) and the trust and feeling of unison that I’ve had with them than the game itself or the leagues I’ve won or even the CMO award for the best thread. And I’m quite sure that the others feel the same too. This is what playing CM online is meant to be. This is what makes me feel so joyful about NWCM Clan. This is the reason that makes me confident that all the effort put into this game (we struggled a few times with computer problems and with the difficulty of finding reliable players) was well worth in the end. We’re also thankful to all the anonymous people that read our thread throughout this time and that now and again would post a few encouraging words showing their appreciation for our game. Thanks also to Doggy, Goldy and Graeme for having some patience with me in situations where I asked them to delete some of the abuse or inane drivel posted by some people that aren’t even worth a mention. They helped us to keep this thread as tidy as possible and we are grateful for that. In conclusion, it was a beautiful experience and for all of those who appreciated our work, we’ll be back soon. This is just a small interruption not a definitive farewell. We’ll be back, in the meantime enjoy your games because... The future of CM is online.
