To leave room in the Stupid Big Cup thread for, you know, Big Cup talk, I thought I'd start a new thread for this possible venture.
Phase one is not getting the game to everyone who needs it. I suggest people in need either PM s1ugt or go to their nearest computer game retail store and hand over money.
Phase two will involve getting people to agree on a country, and a team to manage, but we'll get to that when ready. To start with, I suggest all those who are interested in such a frolic to sign up here. We haven't had a GR challenge for literally years - not since Noisy-le-Sec, I seem to remember. Most of the old crew have found this place by now, so it could be a lot of fun.
Avaunt!

I'm in preferably with FM06, but if that's not an option I'll be in if I can get an old version working.

I'm in, and I feel the same as Coffers, really. It'll give me an excuse to play FM 2006 a bit more, as I appear to be stuck on CM 01/02 again...

I have all from 0001 to Fm06 apart from CM4 which was utterly hopeless. I'd prefer FM06, as it's the newer one, but am open to other versions.
By the time everyone else has not received things through the post, I'd have been sacked in Belgium and be ready to try something else.

I think the one I have may be CM5? Was there such a thing? Or CM4 with enhancement?
Was there an FM5?
I will look tonight where they shouldn't be. But I may crank up an 03/04 or summat too, to chew on some glory fudge.

There is a CM5, but that is the Eidos lot, not SpInG.
We had CM0304 then FM 05, now 06.

CM5 was the crap thing made by Beautiful Game and released by Eidos, I think. It's pants, don't touch it.
Following CM 01/02, there has been CM4 (dot$), followed by CM03/04. Then came the SpInG/Eidos split, and FM 2005 and FM 2006 were made by SpInG and released by SEGA.
I think CM02/03 was released on the Mac.

02-03 was an xBox thing, IIRC.

Oh yeah. Something non-PC related, anyway. It was just an aside... Was it CM0102 but with updated squads or something?

Post by floplexter on Jun 20, 2006 15:13:10 GMT
What does IIRC mean?
Just to be ignorant.
I think I have CM4 and FM 2005 then. But will look anyway.

If I Remember Correctly, IIRC.
I think I have all the games from 00/01 onwards. I really don't want some of them, though. Look away, Poops, and let us know tomorrow what you want to do.

Basically, Boony, aye it was 0102 with some squad changes.

Oh. How boring. I thought it was code.

How poetic, Flops.

Me too, so what's MIRC then? Is that a code?
I might be up for this, but don't have much time on my hands. I will get some more in July and possibly onwards, but I don't think that's an issue.
For me its FM2006 because I can't be bothered installing and getting used to the other ones again. And it'll depend on the league if I'm in. But that's to discuss later, apparently. We don't want to interfere with Boony's tight schedule...

I don't want to interfere with anything of Boony's, to be honest.

mIRC is a Windows client for IRC (Internet Relay Chat). I don't know what m stands for.
FM2006 looks to be a winner. We'll make sure the league is approved by everyone who wants to play, JayJay. What restrictions do you have? Which leagues don't you want to manage in?

Oh, I don't really want to obstruct things. Just that I'm not playing if it's one of the British and Belgian leagues to be honest. But if that's the choice of the majority I won't mind.

Well, I don't think anyone would be that bothered about playing in the British leagues. Exotic is good. And we've already played in Belgium with a relay game (Royal Francs Borain, IIRC). I think we've done the following:
Portugal (SJ Ver - challenge) Sweden (? - challenge) Russia (Chita - challenge) France (Noisy le Sec - challenge) Scotland (CotD I) Japan (CotD II) Turkey (CotD III) Italy (Castelnuovo - relay) Belgium (Royal Francs Borain - relay)
So anywhere not mentioned above would probably be favourite.

Don't have the game. I'm retro.

Wanna get it to prove how much you can kick our asses anyway, DC? Or are you scared?

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:\

FM 2007 comes out before christmas, I believe. It will have silly dots. The scouting is looking better, from the screenshots I've seen. They've also included feeder clubs. There's a thead here somewhere about it.
FM 2006 is good. Just listen to Moo, Coffers and s1ugt...
