Fair enough, just don't want people losing interest is allplus I have a killer save going on right now with Woodlands Wellington in Singapore (emulation Lippo in India
) so that can take up my time. Also, SI have just released details on a new feature for FM 16 called Fantasy Draft, which might work perfectly for this competition. Can't wait for the new game to come out
!
Yeah I saw that & this was the first thing I thought of![]()
I think a limit for the games to be played is quite harsh, what are the circumstances if we don't manage it?
I know FM is commonly known for people being on it all the time, and I have nothing against those who are but that's definitely not the case for me, as much as it seems the opposite with how long my story is, I play and post, I haven't played the game other than my story in a good 9 months, so as you imagine it's took me that long to do 10 seasons.
the problem me and lippo have seems to be time, we spend a lot of time on this website in work, heck sometimes if no ones in I can go on it in work, but along with a girlfriend and social life and occasion ally working away it can be sometimes hard to find the time, and with the time zones being completely different it does make it awkward for us, some might say I shouldn't have said I will play in the tournament of I didn't have the time, but it's not just the time, it's the time zones, every other game has been fine!
I need to to look up the timezones so I know what time it is for lippo, as great as FM is I don't want me or him staying up until 4:00 am just to get one game played, it's not right!

Excommunication from FMBase i believe.I think a limit for the games to be played is quite harsh, what are the circumstances if we don't manage it?
I 110% agree with everything you have said Jamie but surely there has to be a limit of say 2 weeks because otherwise the competition will lose all it's interest. Within 2 weeks you both could have planned a time in advance when you could do it.
I understand what you are saying because in less than 2 weeks (for myself) I go to university for the first time and that means that my schedule is going to be a lot more intense but having time constraints of 2 weeks should give me enough time to plan in advance the time to play with my opponent.
Tell me if I'm wrong but I just think that is the fairest way for everyone involved. :S
EDIT: As to the question of what if we don't manage it, what about a 0-0 draw? Obviously for the latter stages something else will have to be done but seeing as its the group stages that is the only way I think it can be done.
Yeah that's fine I didn't really think about that.I get your points, but with the timezone being different it causes a whole new problem, I'm 21 and passed the days am I going into work tired as **** just for a game, I used to do that a lot with my obsession of Fifa
I am 100% against the 0-0 if we can't get a game going, because I could just let that happen because I would qualify with a superior goal difference to Lippo no matter what Craig and Matt's result was, so no that's not fair on anyone.
I'm online for a while now so if Lippo comes online we will play, but it's 9:00 am in Oz so chances of that are slim, unless Lippo works nights
But yeah, 0-0 is not an option because it favours me, and that's unfair!
If me and Lippo can't manage a game by the deadline then I will forfeit and Craig can qualify, depending on his result with Matt anyway
I think it'd be a big shame if anyone had to forfeit their games, i really wouldn't want that to happen :/ a draw between Jamie and Lippo would favour Jamie, a draw between me and Matt would knock me right out, Jamie or Lippo forfeiting would send the other straight through and me depending on my result, Matt forfeiting would guarantee me a place regardless of the other result.
I'd much rather we all made sure our games were played, i don't mind waiting as long as it takes.
Me and Lippo are now playing!!!!
Excited for this!
And as for everyone else, yea I'm fine I just didn't want people losing interestas long as you play your games eventually, I'll be happy don't worry!
Congrats to Jamie, a well earned place in the quarters!
Felt the score-line was a bit rough on me but cant deny Waka-Waka was the better side.
Actually, looking back there is not a lot I would change if we got the chance to meet again, not often you can say that after a 3-0 drubbing but a more accurate pass here or better touch there & it could have been a very different game.
Oh well, that's football isn't it? Good luck in the quarters mate, hope to be joining you. Good luck as well to Craig & Matt, just don't draw! That would be a horrendous way for Craig to exit!
