blowcrapup Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 nice btw i dont mind chaning position and being a DR/L Defenders are being removed as well as the scoring system works against them too much and I don't want to make it too complex. There are going to be two leagues one for Mids and another for Strikers with and overall table at the end of the year with the chance to raise your CA/PA. So there will be two chances for a midfielder and two chances for a striker to raise there attributes and one chance for one of the 20 people to raise their CA/PA every season.

blowcrapup Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 End Of Period 1 (1.1.2009 TEST) [u]Position[/u] [u]Name[/u] [u]Total Points[/u] 1st [color=black]Maz Armley 151[/color] 2nd [color=black]Peter Gorgenhorgen 142[/color] 3rd [color=black]Robin van der Dutch 93[/color] 4th [color=black]Tom Hamilton 46[/color] 5th [color=black]The Cow 35[/color] 6th [color=black]mikey twigge 16[/color] 7th [color=black]The Survivor 15[/color] 8th Jonathan Tiny[color=black] 9[/color] =9th [color=black]Jack Browne 0[/color] =9th [color=black]Andrew Jackson 0[/color] Excel Sheets. Part 1 Part 2 So as you can see Maz continued his great form but Peter lost 60 points due to his Y/RC!! which would have seen him win easily. Interestingly Van Der Dutch did improve his score after his improvements whilst The Cow seems to have suffered from his decrease. Two people ended up with caps in the first season and TBF it was clear to see who the 2 -10 PA players were. Several players do have youth caps with Tiny bagging 7 U21 Caps and a goal for New Zealand. My Views Well here we are at the end of the test period. This was meant to be 2 seasons but it became clear the scoring system wasn't going to work for Defenders (not high enough)and Goalkeepers (far too high). It doesn't take much to see that had Peter not had a poor discipline record he would have destroyed everyone constantly. Oddly enough his Dirtiness was only 7, with a Professionalism of 14, Sportsmanship of 15 and a Temperment of 12. His Controversy is 16 though. The Future Sometime in the future I will be posting a list of the people from the test. This is your last chance to tell me if you want to change something, there will be request for some of you to provide me with informantion. I will note down beside your names the changes I know have to be made. After much deliberation I have also decided that the PA variation is too great as such I will be changing it from -8,-9,-10 to either -8,-9 or to -9,-10. Please give me you opinions on this if you are around now. Hope you enjoyed being part of the test. Any constructive critism is welcome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowcrapup Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Personally I say vote for -8 only, Hmmm it could work but I wanted a bit more variation but frankly the huge jump in PA from -8 to -10 is too high. I think I may go for -8,-9 though as it may create a more interesting game. Thanks for the sheet though. After Canvey! has posted then it will be open up to other people to sign up. I am going to offer a place to fdawsoniv as he has posted a few times while not already involved unless people violently object. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was just because blowcrapup wanted to get on with the test run and see how it affected things.

blowcrapup Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Canvey! I only skipped you as I wanted to test what effect the changes woulfd have on the game. As long as you would have been in the time limit it would not have happened in the real game. However......... Important Notice My laptop packed up on me yeterday and I can't get it to work. I tried to phone PC world who told me to take it into a store which I can't do until tomorrow. So this is on hold until further notice. I will try to keep you updated but if it is going to cost more than £100 to repair then it is going to have to wait until the 20th of April at least.

blowcrapup Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!!!! My student loans came in two days early \o/ so I have a shiny new laptop. I need to reinstall the game and stuff but I should be looking at getting this ready to reopen by Monday depending on stuff. (mainly getting my microsoft office disk back from my friend who is away until either tomorrow or Monday. I also want to see how fast this new laptop can run it as I'm finally running a new FM on better than recommended specs.)

blowcrapup Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Player List and Info. Midfielders 1. Andrew Jackson (Jack Rudd) 2. Robin van der Dutch (PaulHartman) 3. The Survivor (spartans5) - Club to be changed to Torquay 4. The Cow (hasdgfas) - Club to be changed to Torquay. 5. Rick Dawson (fdawsoniv) - All looks ok. 6. Jonathan Tiny (LLR) Needs positioning to be changed MR (from sign up sheet) 7. Morten Lindtner (Mlo) - A ok 8. Tom Hamilton (hamilton162) 9. 10. Strikers 1. Jack Browne (jack.browne) 2. Maz Armley (m123...) 3. mikey twigge (mikeytwigge) 4. Loïc Philippens (Whoopy D) 5. Peter Gorgenhorgen (canvey!!) – Nationality to be changed to Austrian/Dutch 6. Seamus Canary (Conners) - Looks ok, Club will be random. 7. Fernando Aleatorio (corinthiano) - All okay 8. Martien Oak (Martien1974) - All ok. 9. Bryan McGuinness (~Ian~) - Looking good. 10. Thats all the people who I had signed up before, plus the reserve and the few people who signed up before the halt. If there is nothing written beside your player then everything is fine and will be entered as per your sign up sheet. The scoring system will be kept the same as from the last one but only for the two positions. Remember though there are now three prizes - One for Mids, One for Striker and One for an Overall winner. (Although this is still open to change see below) Idea for Prizes To keep things interesting the Overall winner will not be based on points otherwise it would be unfair. It will be based on things like wages, value etc. but it will be randomly drawn to see if it is the highest or lowest amount that that actually wins. The winner of the Overall section has the chance to raise or lower CA/PA of themselves or another person. Please give your opinions on this. Other possible Idea This one is open to vote but I'm thinking to keep it interesting that the person with the lowest score gets the chance to raise or lower their CA/PA as well. Although rather than getting the amount doubled like for the Overall winner they only get what was drawn. e.g. Canvey! wins the overall prize as he has the highest wage he gets a + and a 5 in the card game after choosing to raise his CA which means it is increased be 10, whilst LLR who scored 1 point chose the same cards and CA but his only raises by 5. Of course if their is a tie at the bottom then no-one will get to try this game. I will place a table at the bottom of this post to keep track of votes. Please post your vote in here but don't update the table as you go. You may also PM me your vote if you do not want it to be known. Vote Results This vote is only for the 2nd idea. If the majority of people are against it then it will be scrapped. Voting will close at MIDNIGHT ON THE DAY THE 10TH PERSON VOTES. Votes made after this deadline will only be counted if there is a tie. For - 0 Against - 6 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signing up is now open again. There is a single Striker place open and 4 Midfield places open. Please use the sign up sheet on the first page to join. To make this fair to people have been involved longer YOU DO NOT HAVE A VOTE UNTIL THE 10TH PERSON HAS VOTED. Please don't post your vote along with your sign up sheet as I will most likely miss it.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I will also vote NO on Idea 2. (I think that makes it 6-0 ) As for something other than points deciding the overall winner, I think thats a great idea. I think it would be even better if the overall winner is something different each season. So season 1 it is Avg Rat, Season 2 is Value, Season 3 is Assists, Season 4 is Goals, Season 5 is Red Cards. etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowcrapup Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 It will be something different every season but I will be trying to stay away from the stuff we are scored on.
