bermybhoy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Paul, got no clue what your idea is, but it sounds interesting. I just can't figure out why 34 is an optimal number... Robert_296 - I have no idea how birdy did it either, but how about some sort of 'silent auction'. Everyone could submit how much they're willing to bid for each player, and they go to the highest bidder. Obviously you'd need to set an overall budget, and it would take a lot of organising on your part just initially. How many players does each team get?

PaulHartman71 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 and people online more would get a better choice of players, so yeah not sure how that would work, but it's your decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 But surely it'd be better to reward people that are contributing more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_296 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 yeah I know, maybe people could like bid for a cartain amount of players with a priority order and then the person with the highest bid gets them. Therefore you'd only get a couple of posts per week each. So for example say Paul had: 1. Ochoa £5 million 2. Lloris £7 million 3. Akinfeev £8 million 4. Ustari £4 million and Ridleys had: 1. Cech £15 million 2. Ochoa £6 million 3. Robinson (Getting stuck for names ) 2 million 4. Valdes £5 million As Ridleys had offered more for Ochoa he would get Ochoa and Paul would then move down to his next priority for his third keeper and sign those players for his squad. Not a very good example but you get the jist? People would then edit their posts to prevent the thread from becoming clustered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_296 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 He got a list of players and then got people to sign up. The people who signed up first got to pick their team first therefore getting all the best players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Right then, I've started planning my tournament, I've decided to be a bit selective this time due to the inactivity that ruined the last tournament, due to that it would be pretty much impossible to do a 32 team world cup so I have decided to stick with the European Championships format except there will be two big changes, instead of the group format that we started with last time it will be all knockout rounds, the second change is that the time limit will be taken from a week up to a week. Now heres the format I'm 99% certain will be used: CSE European Championships First Knockout Round: 16 teams: 8 challenges Quarter Final: 8 teams: 4 challenges Semi Final: 4 teams: 2 challenges Third Place Playoff: 2 teams: 1 challenge Final: 2 teams: 1 challenge If you have any ideas feel free to post them, I'll be grateful for any ideas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean they send me a PM/em mail about what players they want? But in the end they could end up with all their players being bought by someone else. I was thiking a squad of 22. 3 keepers, 7 defenders, 7 midfielders and 5 strikers But surely it'd be better to reward people that are contributing more? I'm confused, what do you mean?

Whoopy D Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You mean they send me a PM/em mail about what players they want? But in the end they could end up with all their players being bought by someone else. That's why I suggested this... The easiest way I can think of would be to offer each player seperately in order of value (or anything else) for each position. So starting with the highest value GK and we all bid, then the next highest value and so on until we all have a GK, or two. Then do the same for defenders etc But that would be incredibly time consuming. Probably have to be closed bids as well otherwise all hell would break lose.

bermybhoy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah, you would need several 'rounds' of bidding until everyone got a full compliment of players. That could be quite interesting, as you could be very tactical and bid extremely low for some players you think no-one else would go for, and way over the top for the supoerstars. However, it might go on indefinitely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_296 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 whoopy D, it sounds like a good idea but it would go on way too long. Bermy, so after each round of bidding everyone's bids would be revealed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_296 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 :S yeah sorry, not having a very good day today Might be best to try and have a think about it tomorrow. I was thinking they bid for the players they want with priorities and they sign the first 3 available but as some people may be left without any keepers there would be anothe round of bidding for the other players until everyone has 3 keepers. Not perfect at all but I really can't see any way of making this perfect. It is just that people who got to pick first in Birdy's had a huge advantage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roberto922 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 OY! Ahem, right then now that I have your attention, like I said in the post that no one saw (twice ) I'm gonna be more selective with the CSE European Championships to ensure it is alot better this time so I want to get a few people on board before I put it on the forum, this time I want the people that are on most days, post regularly and are good on FM. Just stick your name on the list if you want to take part and I'll be PMing a couple of the people that I really want on the challenge that don't really post on this thread. FWIW out of the lads that look on this thread that I'd like to take part are (not limited to though) Robert_296, PaulHartman71, Rancer890, DodgeeD, Walcott\'s_Wonderkids and bermybhoy, obviously I know that not all of you will have time to do it but its only one season every two weeks so it should be more than manageable. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.

PaulHartman71 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 don't have the time unfortunately. Have a lot more work on my hands this year than I did last year, add that to potentially starting a new sign up in the near future, and I really wont have enough time to complete more than one season a week, and I would like to continue in canvey!!'s challenge, and dafuges.

DodgeeD Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'm in a similar boat to everyone else. My game time is limited anyway due to work and family commitments and once I get the game (by the weekend hopefully ), there are a couple of big challenges I want to attempt.

PaulHartman71 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think on a forum were it is fairly rare for a sign-up to be finished, it's a bit harsh to have a dig at Ridleys for not finishing things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that because everyone has just got the game and wants to play their own game or a dafuge / gundo -esque style game first, there isn't room for people to do interactive challenge like sign ups at the moment.

Robert_296 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Trying to organise a bit of my sign up now. How long and how many rounds do oyu think I should do for each position?

Robert_296 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 of how many days though? I don't have a problem with the length but I would prefer it to be done quickly.

Walcott\'s Wonderkids Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi guys, Apologies if this is old news but I haven't seen it posted anywhere, at least in this forum. Did you know that in the data editor to go with the game, that there is now an option to 'Free all players'?! You can all 'free all non players' or all persons, so that everyone starts unassigned on a free contract. Someone has surely got to start an AI Experiment with this. Plud Robert, it makes your proposed Fantasy Football sign up a bit easier as all the players are now unassigned from clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I noticed it and posted it in the group, I'm considering an experiment with all clubs equal rep and all the staff released but I don't have the time to set the reps There should be an option to delete all people on there.
