swagat sinha Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi all. I'm new to this part of the forum, suggested to post by Saxonaitor. I'm currently in the process of setting up an IPL-style sign-up over at FMS. The way it runs is as follows: I changed Andorra to a country called Utopia and added 6 huge cities. The 20 best clubs of the world, according to club reputation, training and youth facilities, and stadium capacity, have been cloned and shifted to this country. 20 people sign up to take over as Chairmen of these 20 clubs. They will take part in a 3-part bidding process. I)Bidding for a club: Each club has a minimum bid price based on its scores in the above-mentioned 3 criteria. You bid for the club you want. After everyone has a club, we come to part 2. II)Bidding for a manager: Similar to the first part, you now bid for a manager. Over 50 managers await to be picked up by you. III) Bidding for players: Go through the motions one final time to select your squad from among the best players in the world. Sounds extremely complicated, but it's pretty simple Following this, the game runs on simulation, and I report regular updates. Currently, 13 spots have been filled. 7 spots remain empty as of now. If anyone of you is interested, feel free to drop me a PM as follows: username: Company name: Chairperson name: Any particular info about the Chairperson (backstory): Cheers, Swag.

dovEs Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've also sent you a PM for consideration. Do we each get a certain number of 'points' or whatever to bid with, and then decide how best to distribute them etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagat sinha Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Received your PM dovEs. Yes, you receive a lump-sum of money. It is up to you as to how you spend it across the 3 auctions. Edit: I'll post a full list of clubs, managers and players 2 days before we start, so that you can formulate your own strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swagat sinha Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I started the sign-up there, so it was only fair to have the bid thread there. The season I shall post in 2 threads: the story thread over there, and the update thread here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
