TigerJoe Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 no there are three seperate games being run one on my computer one on canveys and one on james. You lose a life when you are sacked on one persons game and you are then out of that game. You lose the sign up when you are sacked from all of our games So you play the 3 games all at once or one at at a time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 We are each running three versions of the same database. That database includes all the manager details you all have given us. We report on how the managers are doing and if you move clubs in one of our runs then you lose that life. If you lose all three lives you are out of the sign-up (although can still post).

jimmyriddle Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 you should do a points system so the first person to get sacked gets 60 points and so on so forth as this would probs be less confusing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikeytwigge Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 no its quite clear the last person to not get sacked three times wins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJoe Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think a points system would be a good idea but the idea that they are doing is simpler. The first person to lose all 3 lives comes last. The last person to lose all 3 lives comes 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corinthiano Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Agree that a points system is unnecessary, with so many people signing up it is vital that the sign-up remains simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Doing the 60 to 1 challenge. Great idea canvey! Thanks' date=' but it's a sign-up. I'm really keen for people to understand that - I always get people saying no or backing out because they think they have to play the game. Just to clarify, [b']Signing Up has closed[/b]. Apart from NepentheZ, TigerJoe is the last person to get a spot. Those who have posted after that may get a spot if those on the reserved spots list don't take their place. The earliest the live draw can take place is Friday, as PaulHartman71 doesn't get back until then. Good to see the enthusiasm, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton162 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Canvey!! Mikey and the other person (can't remember his name off of the top of my head) start the games on their PC's and put us lot as users/managers of the teams that we are assigned to. They then simulate the game and update accordingly Hope that helps you understand, but you should read the OP before asking questions in future Joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleys Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 You don't manage them, you have filled in the sign-up form which will be entered in to the database by canvey!!. Me, canvey!! and mikeytwigge will then use that database and run the same game where it will be your manager managing the team - but you won't be controlling him. Hope that makes sense now.

clrkaitken Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 [Charlie Brown} AAAGH! [/Charlie Brown] You don't. They create a manager based on your sign-up, then randomly assign the manager to your randomly chosen team. Then they simulate the results on THEIR games, and report on who lasts the longest at their original post. Your work is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
