Celtic_1967 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I am going to start a World Cup story. I am hoping to get 32 people (including me) to sign up. I will then edit all of us into the game as the managers of the qualified nations. Once we are all in the game I will holiday it forward and then do a random draw to determine which teams we get. Story will then follow. All I need right now is names. PM me if you are interested. I intend to start this off once FMS X Factor has finished, so sign up if you want a shot at being FMS World Champion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic_1967 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 I got 27 sign-ups for this, so 5 teams will be going with the AI manager they have when the competition starts. These teams are - Morocco, Honduras,Colombia,North Korea & Costa Rica. They are the 5 teams with the lowest Reps in the tournament. My wife drew the teams and they are as follows : Salkster2102 Poland TheRingMaster USA Markwilson27 Saudi Arabia Burgess Basso South Korea Cougar2010 Germany BenArsenal Ukraine Noah08 Ivory Coast JayR2003 Sweden Celtic_1967 Ghana Elrithral Russia Offspring8 Holland Gavrenwick Japan ScottleeSV Italy Viperk1 Algeria Dalbeider Chile SCIAG England Tomo_whufc Spain Tenthreeleader Brazil CAFCIan75 South Africa Terk France Marmoset Junior Paraguay Saxonaitor Greece Entombed Australia Stoehrst Mexico Weemanbob27 Nigeria Balthazars Serbia M1234566778 Israel As a small aside each of us has a different nationality, and none of us had the nationality of the nation we have drawn!

weeeman27bob Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Dear my Esteemed friend. I have recently become manager of the football team of Nigeria. We are in a position to make lots of money, however we need to pay off a certain type of tax before we can get this money. We have a fortune of nearly $4,000,000, and all we need is £10,000 to pay off the tax. If you give us this money, we will split our fortune with you. Please send through your bank details. Yours respectfully Dr. Lalou Kanu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
