*Official* SG Challenge #1

[rpvankasteren]

Yeah, Royal league counts, as a league. Will be counting your last results in a bit.

 

[kickin_kyle]

can i join this?

i'm downloading the db right now. how exactly do i backup my current one? i've never been good with stuff like that. thanks.

 

[rpvankasteren]

I just made a copy in a new subfolder of the data\db folder myself.

 

[Tom]

very easy to do kyle, then store the backup somewhere safe (e.g. my documents)

and of course you can take part! It'll take me about a month to complete this challenge.

TROD.

 

[kickin_kyle]

ok good cause that's what i did. started last night but i havent made a thread. finding players is hard

 

[Virgo]

bloody hard to get decent players to join you. Even free ones don't want to sign.

 

[SuRFy]

Try being Newcastle United (Australia), Mostovoy won't come.

 

[rpvankasteren]

He wouldn't come to Halmstad either, so what exactly are you trying to say?

 

[rpvankasteren]

I decided to just award myself 30 points for the Royal League win, as it's just 11 matches, and more of a cup than a league.

 

[rpvankasteren]

One day left to play! I proclaim myself winner of the competition

Any ideas for a new challenge?

 

[Andrejs]

Ya, congrats Ruud, I bet the victory came as a total suprise for you, eh?

I think in the next challenge, people should be allowed to use random database, it's sad to see only 3 of us playing til the end

 

[rpvankasteren]

How can it be a fair contest with people using different databases though?

And it takes no time at all to change databases. Just backup your database, put the original one in place, start the challenge game, and put the backup back. Takes less than a minute, not counting the starting of the game.

 

[Zlatan]

Mayb it would be fun to take one of the promotion teams in England(or something) and take them to championship in 2 or 3 seasons...

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Im up for a challenge, as I can play FM again and have tons of spare time. Let's take over Heracles and try to draw PSV

 

[Zlatan]

Isn't that difficult is it?

 

[rpvankasteren]

One season maximum, the summer doesn't take that long. The third challenge can be a larger one, to fill the gap to the release of FM 2006.

Maybe we could take control of MVV and try not to finish dead last in the first division in Holland... would be tough

MVV is actually pretty easy. Done it already on FM, got them promoted in the first season (I actually ended 9th, but got a period title) In the 2nd season I ended 16th, but won the play offs and in the 3rd season I ended 12th or something (cant remember the exact). After that I stopped playing the game

 

[Tom]

poo, oh well i missed the deadline lol

TROD.

 

[Socrates]

Next challenge Union Berlin

 

[rpvankasteren]

Union it is.
