FM17 Network Game

[Hurrikeen]

Are we having one of these running when the full game is released within the next fortnight?

I'm definitely up for it, so would be good to get a few involved. Maybe half a dozen?

 

[JJH]

Yeah, would be up for that.

 

[epic73]

If I can get FM, I'll do whatever this is.

 

[TractorBoys]

Yes, I'm in. We gunna agree that if 75% or so of all applicants are online- then we can holiday those who are unavailable?

 

[MagpieBee]

In. And agreed. Though think that %age should be lower, always tough to get that many on

 

[Hurrikeen]

If we keep it to 6 people, then just say as long as 3 are playing we can put the others on holiday. 50% rule?

 

[StagsForLife]

I'm game for that.

 

[JJH]

If we keep it to 6 people, then just say as long as 3 are playing we can put the others on holiday. 50% rule?

Sounds good.

We need to all get on for the first "session" though.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Gonna look to kick this off at some point either this weekend or early next week. Likely a couple of hours a night, maybe 2 nights a week. Just keep it slow for now rather than try and rush through it and expect everyone to suddenly have loads of spare time.

If this sounds OK to begin with, sign up here.

 

[TractorBoys]

Yeah.. I got a little free time on my hands. I'm in.

 

[JJH]

Go for it

 

[epic73]

What's this?

 

[Hurrikeen]

What's this?

Clue is in the title buddy.

Basically FM, but a 1FF special.

 

[Hurrikeen]

So are we saying the list is:

Myself
JJH
MagpieBee
TractorBoys
StagsForLife

If so, I'll pick a date next week to get it started and we can sort out leagues, teams, rules etc beforehand.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Right fellas, what are we fancying?

 

[JJH]

Right fellas, what are we fancying?

Done a few network games in the past, generally found that the Championship's most enjoyable. Very competitive and decent budgets!

Around whenever this week for when you fancy starting it up.

 

[Hurrikeen]

I'm thinking Weds evening personally - say 7.30ish for a couple of hours.

More than happy to do Championship, just need to decide how we go about picking teams etc.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Can't start it without you fellas...

Speak up.

 

[JJH]

Can't start it without you fellas...

Speak up.

Reckon it'd be best to give a target, so say "teams that are fighting for promotion" and then all go similar teams such as Newcastle, Villa, Norwich etc, or something like that.

Any ideas TractorBoys MagpieBee StagsForLife?

 

[epic73]

Can I join midway through?

Well I was thinking of the possible scenarios:

Premier League (any team except United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Everton & Southampton)
Championship (any team predicted to finish outside the top 6)
League One (any team predicted to finish outside the top 6)

If anyone has a belting laptop & internet connection combination, it would probably be better for them to act as the host.

I don't see that being a problem.

Yeah that sounds good mate. TB probably will do, he's quite techy.

 

[TractorBoys]

I can host, 100m internet here so will work a breeze for most if not all.

Are you suggesting Ipswich won't challenge this season?!

 

[Hurrikeen]

Sounds like just the three of us at the moment, with Epic joining at a later date.

Anyone have a preference to the teams?

 

[JJH]

Categorised your lot in the "etc" mate.

 

[TractorBoys]

Based on that you should probably include the likes of Rotherham & Blackburn.

 

[epic73]

MIGHT join at a later date. Will talk to parental unit.

 

[JJH]

We giving this a go tonight Hurrikeen?

 

[Hurrikeen]

I don't see why not. Be better if we could get it going when the three of us are ready as at least we can get the majority of pre season done with.
