bluedog Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 A rollercoaster ride for the Argentinians this World Cup, starting with a 4-0 thumping of Holland, then a shock 3-0 defeat to Honduras and a snuck 2-0 win over Uzbekistan to qualify 2nd. Facing Ter's England in the 2nd round, the Falklands rivalry resumed and the key moment was the 30yd freekick into the corner of the goal by Argentina's keeper in the first half, shocking the whole crowd. A 2nd sealed the win, More controversy struck when the Argentina manager was kidnapped before the Cote D'Ivoire game, leaving the assistant manager to mess up and lose 1-0, inexplicably dropping star keeper Saja.

Guest Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I had another great night of CMO, thanks to Dogs(MR X) for being a great host.

Worcester City Researcher Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Another top night of banter, football and CM! Did slightly better than last week, managing to get past the group stage this time - only to get dumped by Senegal... Good to see Scott, Ter and Duffy in on tonight's gaming as well - made for an interesting evening - especially when Scott mysteriously vanished during the group stages...

Spurs1979 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Another good night of international management and a well hosted game by Mr X/Dogs. Was nice to see the SI guys there competing with us, had a little look at there tactics as well just to get a few pointers I had Nigeria and got through my group of Albania, Spain & Portugal mainly due to a 3-1 win over Portugal & a draw against Spain. I wont tell you the Albania result but that Skela is a little s***e. Mr PIP beat me in the 2nd round with decisive finishing in a close game that was enjoyable to watch with many chances.

Was a good game, I enjoyed myself and actually got through the group stages this time... although it wasn't too hard when I had the likes of Duffy and Scott in my group Some strange goings on though, was a great match between Belgium and England, and Belgium's dodgy keeper handing me a win, along with Iceland's dodgy keeper and his last minute idiocy. Shocker of the night had to be the Argie goalie stepping up and ripping that free kick in. Are you Chilavert in disguise?

Peacemaker7 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 World Cup 2006 - DIGCMO Game 2 Once again with more then 16 players wanting to play, we required a 2nd host and I was that host. Some of our guys were a little bit miffed that they didnt get to play with the 'celebs' Duffy & Ter, but like I said, they're crap anyway. Besides, how many CMS awards have they won eh, eh? Yeah exactly! Anyway, once the guys realised they were playing with a real celeb, they were a lot happier, and overall we had fairly good nights play, and I think most of us enjoyed it, except the Spain manager. But C'est la vie The Players PM7 (host) Mexico Garyspeed Argentina Paultays Brazil Femstar France Deano Germany kptom Italy williams Spain I deliberately put each player into a seperate group so as we would all have a chance of progressing to the later stages. Group A Femstar had France in this group, and after an opening game 1-1 draw with China, his French side struggled to a 1-0 win over Australia. Sadly, Femstar suddenly realised he had to go 'out' at this point. We believe you, honest Without him, France overcame Greece 2-0 and both those countries made the 2nd round. Group B There were no human managers in Group B, from which the Cote D'Ivoire and the USA qualified. Group C My group, in which I decided, having flopped so badly with Switzerland last week, to have another challenge with the Mexicans. A 2-2 draw with Iceland, was followed by a 1-0 win over Belgium as I finally grabbed my first DIGCMO win in five games. A final game 1-1 draw with England saw us progress along with them. Group D Garyspeeds group, and with Argentina he achieved a decent 1-1 opening game draw with Holland, before easing past Honduras by 3-0 and Uzbekistan 4-1, and went through in 2nd place behind Holland. Group E Whats should have been an easy group for kptom's Italy and thats how it turned out. 3-0 over Paraguay, and 2-0 over Cameroon, although he was teetering on the verge of embarrassment as his side fell behind early to Zimbabwe, but ended up winning 5-1 to progress along with the Zimbabweans. Group F Paultays group with Brazil, and after struggling to beat Senegal 2-0, his team went down by a single goal to Belarus, but a 2-0 win over Saudi saw the Brazilians through in second place behind the overrated Belarussians. Group G Williams group with Spain, and it was a fairly tough one for the perennial under achievers. A great opening game saw Spain evetually sucuumb 4-3 to neighbours Portugal, but a narrow 2-1 win over Albania seemed to see the Spaniards back in with a chance, but a final match 3-1 humiliation to Nigeria saw the Spanish manager leave in a bit of a strop, but hopefully he'll come back another week for another chance to show what he can do. Group G Deano's group with the hosts Germany, and it turned out to be very easy for the efficient Germans. All three games were won by 2-0 as they marched into the 2nd round. Round 2 France beat the USA 2-0. Ivory Coast bat Greece 1-0 on a silver goal. Argentina over came England 2-1 to see paultays side through to the quarter finals. Holland grabbed a lucky 1-0 win over the brilliant Mexicans. kptom's Italy totally humiliated paultays Brazil by 5-0, and paul I believe is still in hiding Belarus beat Zimbabwe 4-1. Portugal beat Bulgaria 3-0 and finally there was a shock for Deano's Germany as they lost a goal to Nigeria, but they still went through by 2-1. Quarter Finals. France destroyed Holland 5-0. hahahahaha. Argentina lost out on penalties to the Ivory Coast. Sadly, kptom wasnt able to remain to see his Italy side overcome Deano's Germany on a penalty shoot out, Michael Ballack hilariously missing from the spot. Portugal beat Belarus 2-0. Semis Finals There were no human managers left, but France beat Portugal 1-0, and Italy beat Ivory Coast 1-0 and we would have had an all human final if both guys had been able to hang around. 3rd place Portugal overcame Ivory Coast 3-1. Final France won 2-0 against Italy. Timings etc First game underway: 19:41 Group stage Complete 23:16 Game ends at semi final stage: 00:33 Overall it was an enjoyable occassion. It was a long session, but I think we manage to cope with it on the whole, and the players seemed to enjoy the experience despite some of the poorer results. I'm not sure of the World Cup is ideal, as it does take a bit longer to play, and it might be worth sticking to the Euro's and mibbe the African Cup of Nations could be a good idea.

Guest Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Now that ive had some sleep, i will say a little more on the game last night. Firstly, another great night of CM online, thanks again to Mr X/Dogs for hosting. Thats the 3rd week running ive turned up and im loving it. I was given Spain in a group with Portugal (pazzer), Nigeria (Spurs1979) and Albania (comp). Looked like getting off to a good start against Portugal by leading 3-2 with only 5 or 10 mins left, Pazzer made a few tactical changes and then equalised to make it 3-3. The Albanians are tough so n so's. They took the lead but i managed to scrape it 2-1. All that was needed from the last game was a draw with Nigeria to take me through. The game did end 0-0 which sent me and Spurs1979 through, we didnt fix the game honest. Think ive got this right and in order: Then came Bulgaria in the first knockout stage. Again i managed to scrape through but cant remember the scores. Will need to really on Mr X to sort that out. Then came Belarus after that i think it was China and then Senegal. I was very lucky to not only progress but to win the tournement. Took one game to pens, took the rest to extra time. I played a big part in the game going on till after 2am. But it was all good fun and the banter in the room was great. One thing i do remember was the score in the final 3-1. I can say ive actually won something now. Thanks again!

kptom Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Had a great time yesterday evening. I was in the second room with PeaceMaker, and he did a great job moderating the session. Through his good graces, I received the Italy team to manage. Unfortunately for me, I was only able to play up to near mignight GMT. At that point, I had already played what I thought was a climactic game, the second round against Brazil. I was absolutely gob-smacked at the way the Italian team played their hearts out and embarrassed the reigning champs Brazil. Wish I could have stayed on to the final. Would not have let the French walk away with the trophy! Perhaps another time. Thanks to everyone in the #2 room for a very fun, positive evening. kptom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 DIGCMO - Friday 6th February 2004 - African Cup Of Nations 2004 Hi All, After an overwhelming demand for this new Format of Online Gaming (DIGCMO) I am now in the firing line for hosting a game for the vultures and eagles for a chance to reach for African Honours. This being the first attempt of the African Nations is sure to be exciting so I hope all of you join the #DIGCMO room early at around 7pm-7:30pm for Team drawing. Please remember it will be first come first serve. I will confirm in a couple of days what the available teams will be on this thread. See you all then.

Peacemaker7 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 There, according to my own research, only 12 African countries that can be managed in CM 0304, There may be a couple of others that have been overlooked but I dont think so. (Has to have over 150 player in the db), so you'd possibly need three hosts, although I guess all in we had 23/24 players last week. Still ANC should be fun "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Angola" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Cameroon" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Democratic Republic of Congo" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Morocco" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Senegal" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "South Africa" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Tunisia" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Egypt" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Ghana" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Ivory Coast" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Mali" "RETAIN_NATION_PLAYERS" "Nigeria" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 DIGCMO Week 3 Well after the success of the previous weeks. I decided to try and be better prepared for this night. PM7 and Deano were asked if they could provide cover as back up hosts and again they gave up their valuable time to help out, now thats dedication to the cause, thanks again lads . The save template used was WC 2006. After a quick surmise of the room numbers it was decided that PM7 would be needed as a second host. The players selected for the game i was hosting and their teams were as follows. <UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>BlueDog - Argentina <LI>CovFan - Germany <LI>Fwastelr - France <LI>Pazzer - Portugal <LI>PS23 - Spain <LI>Ter - England <LI>WCR - Italy <LI>Spurs1979 - Nigeria <LI>RDYSN - Denmark <LI>Marc Duffy - Mexico <LI>ScottEvil - Belgium <LI>I-Love-LFC - Holland <LI>Pips - Australia <LI>Dogs - Paraguay The rest of the IRC users were asked to follow PM7 to a second IRC room to pay in his game. With the squads all preselected we got underway bang on on 1930 hours, so with only a day to continue this is how it all panned out. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Group A both Pips and Fwastler were expected to qualify with ease from a meidiocre group but were both surprised by the AI's Chinese and Greek Teams. Pips got humped in all his three games whilst Fwastler as France only managed 4 points which wasnt really enough. <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">| Pos | Inf | Team | | Pld | Won | Drn | Lst | For |

The Second round matches went as follows. <UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>China surpising Japan 1-0 in an all AI encounter. <LI>Ivory coast beating Greece easily 3-1 in another all AI game <LI>Argentina beating England 2-0 in the first Human v Human game <LI>Mexico easily beating surprise package Honduras 3-1, Human v AI <LI>Senegal surprising Italy 2-0 in another 2nd round upset. AI v Human. <LI>Belarus absolutely humping Paraguay 5-1 which actually highlighted our first bug where the dogmeister got knocked out , AI v Human. <LI>Spain progressing on penalties against Bulgaria, AI v Human. 1-1 final score. <LI>And finally Germany beating Nigeria 3-1 in the second of our Human v Human encounters. On to the quarter finals then ad the draw looked nice for the prospective semi finals with all 4 human managers being drawn against AI opposition in the quarters. As it happens the quarter finals were a graveyard for the human managers as all but one were put out on their arse. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>China beat Duffy's Mexico 1-0 which was a surprise as he had been pretty stable up to then. AI v Human. <LI>Surprise troops beat BlueDogs Argentina 1-0 to knock another Human out. AI v Human. <LI>Senegal knocked out CovFans Germany 2-1 to continuethe Human manager demise. AI v Human <LI>And last but not least Flying the Flag for the human managers PS23's Spain beat the "new eastern block Brazil" Belarus 2-1 to progress to the semis. Human v AI. The Semis were unusual with none of the major seeded nations present. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Spain needed an extra time winner to see off a stubborn China 1-0, Human v AI. <LI>Senegal put the Ivory coast out 2-0 in the other AI v AI encounter. The third place playoff was contested by two AI teams China and Ivory coast. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>the Ivory coast running out 2-0 victors. So on to the final at 0225 hours after almost 7 hours of marathon play we had played a month of fixtures and at last had reached the final. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>PS23 Spain ran out 3-1 winners in what was a bit of an anticlimax. With the AI being hard all game it was expected to a far closer game, or maybe PS23's tactics were spot on. So there you have it. 7 hours of play and 14 players. It was a long session but hats off to the never say die enthusiasm of all that played. TBH i want to aim for a finish time of about midnight so some tweaks are necessary. Managers can utilise their time more effectively _ do your squad selection during the game prior to yours so when its your tunr to go you are ready to start. Maybe in the future we can condense the Human managers into groups together so we have more Human v Human games in the group stages instead of Human v AI. Another suggestion is to maybe have more hosts and smaller groups. Its been noted that PM7 had exactly half the numbers (7\14) that we did and finished 2 hours earlier. Overall tho i'm pleased at how smooth the game went and the users involved, and want to say a big thanks to all that were involved Roll on next week.

Guest Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I have been waiting for Mr X to post those results, for obvious reasons. That was the 3rd time that i had entered into a DIGCMO game and it gets better every week. 1st Week Italy (Euro Champs, Semi Final) 2nd Week Denmark (Euro Champs, Qtr Finals) 3rd Week Spain (Won the World Cup) As Mr X said, it was a marathon session but i dont mind that, the banter in the room is good and the online play is a great experience. Just glad ive won one of the tournements now and i will be back on Friday looking to get another game and this time trying my luck at the African Nations Cup, which should be very interesting. Thanks again Mr X for hosting and to everyone who has been setting up the DIGCMO games. Will there be more than one host available again, just incase there are too many people?
