Hoista! Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 All this is UK time? May ia suggest another host for people who are not in the UK/Europe, as the timing effectively leaves out 4 continents of possible players. N America, S America, Asia & Australasia. This is certainly something which i'd be interested in. As a general recommendation for the advancement of CMOnline please use Timezones. Not everyone lives in the UK e.g 7.30pm(GMT) rather than just 7.30pm Also, as a later addition. maybe add competency levels, so you can have more hosts, and some hosts who will host a intermediate level, where people can select their own squads.

birk Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I was in second group and drawed Croatia. It started with a 3-2 defeat to the Czech Republic, and I have to win my next game against Russia. We win 3-0 and must now wait the result of Czech Republic-England. It was a draw and I have to beat England, if I have to go one round further. Beat England 2-0 in a fantastic game, and Czech Republic and Croatia went on to the quarterfinals. My next game against France and I was outclassed, outplayed and lost 2-0 in a welldesereved win for France. This was the tournamnet for me this time, and i have a lot of funs all night. The game went well, no problemos, maybe because we all have try before.

My first effort at online gaming in CM03/04 and I'm hooked. DIGCMO1 went on till about 4:15 A.M. I'm going to play forevaaaaa !!!! BelfastNiall was a splendid host, patient as hell with all the newbies including yours truly and bluedog for keeping a general eye on things. Thanks guys If the group stages were good, the knockout stages were magnificent. Two of the stand out managers were ExiledTiger who took Portugal to the Cup and Spurs1979 who took Scotland to extra-time in the first semi-final. Won't give the lot away till BelfastNiall posts his match reports. Look forward to seeing that ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelfastNiall Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 DIGCMO EURO 2004 Last night Euro 2004 was renamed. It shall now officially be know as Euro 2004AM as the tournament lived up to billing, with superb games and shocks and spills along the way. 16 players began the evening and although there were some retirements along the way, the huge majority of players stuck with their teams until the bitter, and disappointing end. That is apart from the Portuguese manager, who stayed until the early hours to lift the famous old trophy, and deny his German counterpart in a close fought final. The Players <UL TYPE=SQUARE> Germany ---- Vikz Denmark ---- Femster Turkey ---- Covfan Switzerland ---- I Love Liverpool Portugal ---- ExiledTiger Holland ---- Chris Purnell Italy ---- Joeri Scheerlinck Greece ---- Litstbts France ---- Rdysn5 Sweden ---- Worchester Bulgaria ---- Howard McSleen Scotland ---- Matt Hooker Czech Rep.---- Dominic Nelson England ---- Niall Murphy Croatia ---- Andy Jones Russia ---- Shaun Kelly Group A Germany coasted through Group A, winning both their opening matches against the Swiss and Turkey, before a complete capitulation in 5-0 reverse to the Danes in their final game. This group saw early retirements from Turkey and Denmark, with Switzerland failing to qualify, picking up only one point. The group also saw the game of the tournament, in Germany’s 4-3 win over the plucky Swiss, who provided great entertainment in attempting to come back from 4-0 down at HT. Group Qualifiers Germany Vikz Turkey N/A Group B The group of death lived up to expectations, as the Dutch, the Italians and the Portuguese slugged it out for the top two spots, with the plucky Greeks trying their utmost to upset the apple cart. For the Greeks it just wasn’t to be as an excellent opening point against the hosts, was followed by successive defeats. On the final day of this group it was still possible for all four teams to qualify but in the decider between Holland and Portugal, the Dutch dominated the game with 17-5 on shots, but still managed to lose 3-2, with Van der Vaart scoring an unlikely own goal. The Dutch will have been disappointed not to have progressed. Portugal sneak through the groups, along with Italy, whose manager also retired early. Group Qualifiers Italy N/A Portugal Exiled Tiger Group C As expected, France qualified without breaking sweat and with a 100% record. The battle for second place went to the wire between Sweden and Scotland (managed by EPL Challenge’s Matt Hooker) after Bulgaria lost all their games. In an outstanding performance, Sweden were annihilated 6-1 by an excellent Scottish side who provided the shock of the tournament so far by qualifying for the QF’s. Group Qualifiers France Rdysn5 Scotland Matt Hooker Group D England and Czech Republic set the early pace in this group with wins over Russia and Croatia respectively. The Czechs then beat England 2-1 in a close game, where better finishing from the Czechs sealed the victory. Russia and Croatia failed to take maximum advantage by playing out a 1-1 draw. In the final games, the Czech side managed now by the AI, lost 4-0 to Russia. However it was to late for the Russians to progress, as England duly beat the Croats 1-0 to seal top spot in the group. Group Qualifiers England Niall Murphy Czech Rep. N/A Quarter Finals Portugal 3-0 Turkey A comprehensive win for the hosts Germany 2-0 Italy Germans looking ominous again France 3-1 Czech Republic Could anyone stop the French Juggernaut Scotland 3-2 England Scotland come back from 2-1 down to win the tie, and the pride of Britain on the silver goal rule. Semi’s Scotland 0-1 Portugal Portugal edge through on the silver goal rule Germany p 2-2 France Old enemies meet in another top Euro semi, and just like in ’82 Germany win through on pens Final Portugal 2-1 Germany A tremendous performance by both managers to last this far into the morning and the tournament, and Portugal take the trophy for the first time in their history Conclusions Overall a superb nights champ online. 16 players, 14 new players and only 2 clan members yet there were no problems whatsoever. Good banter among all competitors and the game was played in a fantastic spirit, despite the awful amount of time this tournament went on (over 8 hours). 19:30 Squads confirmed 19:45 First Game Started 01:30 Group Stage finished 02:30 Quarter Finals finished 04:00 The Final This game lasted so long as in each of the 31 games there was a human player involved. Nothing could have been done to speed it up as all managers were excellent in picking teams on time, and in playing the games. The save times were terrible (approx 2mins a time) Allowing 10 minutes per game means that the tournament time on matches alone should take 5 hours. However with dealing with new player problems etc etc, and the save issues, plus one crash, the game took far longer than expected. It would be worthwhile looking at the two hosts idea and a max of 10 players in each game. However, everybody enjoyed the competition despite these issues and nearly every manager said they enjoyed it. Overall the night was a success, but the time issue will need to be addressed with 16 players. Also – could we have a Right back included in the squad for Sweden.

Guest mcsteen Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 BULGARIAN MANAGER GOES AWOL The manager of the Bulgarian national side is yet to be found after his teams poor display in the European Championships. As the players arrived at Sofia International Airport this morning, a mob of thousands of angry supporters had met up to show their disgust with the team, shouting words like "cowards, traitors and ******". It's not the poor results alone that have upset the Bulgarian people, but the way the last game of the group against France was played. Bulgaria was already with no chance of qualifying before the last match, and the manager McSteen chose to play with a destructive tactic with one goal in mind; damage the opposition. Just before the game he was quoted: "If we can't enjoy this tournament, neither should they!" Luckily the French football artists escaped without severe injuries. A spokesperson for the Bulgarian supporters club promised that McSteen would be buried alive if he ever put his feet back on Bulgarian soil. Latest rumours suggest that the former manager has changed identity and is hiding somewhere in Scandinavia, working as a postman to make ends meet.

Spurs1979 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Pride brought to Scotland finally! Pesronally last night was brilliant as I lost 2-1 to France in a very close 1st game, then went on to beat a very defensive and well organised Bulgarian side 1-0 before thumping Sweden 6-1 (Luckily) and setting myself up with a game against my boss, BelfastNiall, as England. I duly went on to make myself a folk hero in Scotland by dumping there biggest rivals out 3-2 in a quality end to end game. I then got Portugal which were a nightmare draw for me and I knew I'd be in for a tought time so set my team out to defend galliantly and try to sneak a goal. I held out till the 2nd min of ET before losing the decisive goal but they thoroughly deserved to be winners in a very 1 sided game. Suggestions? I would like to say that this is really going to take off and I can see it getting to the point of having 30+ managers turning up each week to get involved. This of course leads to problems with lengths of games. The main solution would of course be having more hosts and splitting it up into 2/3 groups of max 10 players in each. But if thats to be done I feel that we have to seed players prior to the game so selection of who is in which group can be done decisively and quickly to help speed it up. Maybe MR X can do a little seeding of who's who by getting people to request a seeding group from say 1st,2nd or 3rd seedings, 1st being the clan members and 3rd being new guys. Then new guys get given the best teams in the game and the more experienced guys get the smaller teams. Then when games progress new users can earn a higher seeding upon there performance. This way we can have new users & exerienced guys playing in the same games, rather then it just being newbies all the time being grouped together. Hopefully this would mean that some advice can be passed on through the game to the newbies from the experienced guys. This can be beneficial to them in getting into a clan themselves which would be great. Interesting to see what does infact happen in the next few games but more improvements can be sure to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Overall conclusions: Well, was happy to have reached the semis but felt I was unlucky not to reach the final. 1-0 down, went 2-1 ahead until Klose scored with literally the last kick of the game. But I suppose I did ok with it being only my second online experience (first in digcmo). Even if the game progressed at a shall we say gentle pace, I found it great. It was a 7pm-4am marathon . One of the reasons I entered was to find a clan, don't seem to have made any progress in that regard though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacemaker7 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 DIGCMO Euro 2004 - Game Two Due to the overwhelming numbers of people that wanted to play, we had to set up a second group, and I had the pleasure of hosting that. I have to commend my group of players for being patient whilst we set the game up, and for generally being a great group of guys who were very keen to play. It was certainly a very enjoyable occasion, and I know the players in my group had fun, even though none of us actaully made it to the semis This is just going to be a very brief summary. The Group Two Players PM7 (host) - Switzerland Andy 'ajsk' Jarman - Bulgaria Rob Stone - Sweden Phil 'pip' Elred - Turkey Michael Neilsen - Croatia Paul Song Denmark Group A contained Denmark, Turkey and Switzerland, and it was the Danes and the Turks who went through. My excuse is, the Swiss are pish. Group B Ended up with no humans cos of guy ****ing about who was supposed to be Greece. Anyway, Portugal and Holland went through. Group C Had the Swedes and Bukgarians. Rob managed to scrap his Swedish side through, but sadly Bulgaria joined me on the scrap heap. Group D Had croatia, and managed to qualify along with the Czech Republic. In the Quarter Finals Denmark exited to Holland by 1-0, Turkey exited to Portugal 2-1 and Croatia went out to France. So basically the tournament was over. It was still a good nights play though, although with hindsight I should have allocated the teams better, but I wasnt quite sure what the numbers would be. As I said in a previous post, I think in future if we have more then 16 players, we should try and split the groups more evenly, but these are things that will be learned as we go all. Thanks again to my guys for being such a great group of players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
