Sweden was Visby. Not a very long lasting challenge if I remember correctly.
I don't have FM06 and am unable to buy it because I promised myself I wouldn't. Either someone doesn't send it to me, I do it on FM05 or I don't bother becuase I'm a lzy git.

On review, I have 01/02, 03/04 and FM2005. Plus, somewhere, 00/01 I think.

Oui.
FM06 and CM03/04 are the only recent ones I have.

I'm sure I could fix you up with something if it came to that. How about htis sweater? Don't you just love the colour and the texture of it?
FM 06 would be a goer for me.

If I can get it for free™ then I might care. However i have no intention in playing or buying any Sping game until they make a good™ one. I haven't bought one since CM0102 as a result. When does the new jobby come out? Will it be any good? Does it still have silly dots™? Answers on a postcard to:\ My Sweet Aunt Fanny Biggles End Horrific Aircrash Latvia W4N K3R I'm sure someone won't send you a copy at some point. I'm even more sure that you won't recive it at that address.

I'm sure there was a Greece challenge in there somewhere, or was that proposed and then scratched?

No I did a story in Greece and suggested it as a venue for the COTD's a couple of times.

I thought it might have been a suggestion.
I'm leaning towards Argentina, or Austria, Switzerland.

Does Austria only have two divisions playable? Switzerland might have three.

I thought it might have been a suggestion. I'm leaning towards Argentina, or Austria, Switzerland. Switzerland was quite fun as they have a crazy points award system in the lower division. You get nothing for a 0-0 draw, 1 point for other draws, 3 for a win and extra points for many goals, I never quite worked out when the extra points kicked in, but you can get them for high scoring draws two. Also the league is run in such a way that you face you fellow opponents two games on the trot home and away, a bit like a series of knockout tournaments. I think there are extra points for aggregate wins in the mini challenges. Not done Austria or Argentina. Deej did Argentina, the promotion relegation thing was a bit mad, and done on average points over a number of seasons.

You should obviously have a Jensen challenge set in Daneland. In honour of Meej. Where all nicks have to include Jensen somewhere.

Just looked on the Sping LLM team generator ( Frank) they have on there and the lowest playable is the Challenge League, which after a quick look on rsssf.com is the second tier. So the same as Austria, in other words

I played in Switzerland in FM2006, taking Sion to the top. The crazy point system Coffers mentioned isn't included anymore. It's just a league of 18 playing each other twice in the Second Division (the Challenge League if I remember correctly) and 10 teams playing each other 4 times in the First Division (Super League). It got quite dull after three seasons, though.
I'd prefer either Norway, Uruguay, Chile, South-Korea, Malaysia or Serbia & Montenegro.

I'd go to the far east, other than Japan I haven't ventured over that way.

Post by coffers on Jun 21, 2006 8:33:20 GMT
Chile or Uruguay would do for me, maybe Serbia. I'm not so sure about Norway or the Far East countries, there's nothing pulling at the interest strings for some unknown reason.
But whatever, I'll go with the flow.

China would be great too. Having nicknames would prove to be a big plus over there too, it actually makes it easier to keep the names apart over there. Except if you go all Meejy and name them all Mao.

Pops, you're only allowed to not have an opinion if you're not receiving things through your letter box and thusly not playing.
But yes, Serbia just turned my head.
I'm so fickle.

Pops, you know you're going to hate FM06. Why don't you just get back to doddling about on CM0001 like you know you want to.
